Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The term has no particularized lexical content, but is merely an idiom—it describes nothing that about-face or U-turn does not, and that referent is not a real concept in political science or what have you. Remsense ‥  10:34, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like an autobiography. It was PROD deleted before and now brought back with no real improvement in sourcing. Still no in-depth, independent coverage to pass WP:GNG.

Was a soft delete through AfD last year, recently challenged. The original nom, Thenightaway's rationale was, "There is no independent reliable sourcing about the subject. They do not meet general notability requirements nor notability requirements for academics or government officials. One of many articles spammed by a ring of editors who are singularly focused on promoting the Azerbaijani government/elites." The resurrected article has zero in-depth sourcing, and I cannot see any indication they pass WP:NSCHOLAR. Onel5969 TT me 10:15, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Same rationale as before, which was closed as a soft delete. The sources are not independent but consist mostly of press releases or passing mentions in routine announcements. Sources that discuss the subject are either unreliable or not independent, ultimately failing the WP:SIRS check. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 07:06, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film, Companies, India, Tamil Nadu, and England. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 07:06, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep – The article now cites multiple **independent and reliable sources** that offer **significant coverage** of Ahimsa Entertainment. These include:
      • Independent coverage**:
    - Style Vanity – a feature article, not a press release. - International Business Times – a mainstream news outlet covering the company's growing presence in overseas markets. - Chennai Vision – reports on the company’s direct involvement in international box office records. - CinemaSpice – regional film news platform covering their strategic distribution role.
    These go **beyond trivial mentions** and highlight the company's significance in the Indian overseas film market. Furthermore, Ahimsa Entertainment has handled global distribution for high-profile films like Leo, Varisu, Beast, and Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu — all commercial blockbusters with international reach. This establishes its notability per WP:ORG and WP:GNG.
    Happy to work further on improving sourcing and neutrality, but this company clearly passes notability standards. — ~~~~ Nathan2711 (talk) 07:17, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Style Vanity, as described on its website, evolved from a personal blog to a beauty website focusing on Asian Beauty, tackling skin concerns, and providing informative and honest product reviews. It has no relevance in reporting about companies, films or distribution. It is likely a website used for publishing guest articles to improve SEO.
    • WP:IBTIMES - International Business Times is unreliable.
    • Chennai Vision's article is more about Vijay (actor) and Leo (2023 Indian film) than about the subject and does not have a byline.
    • CinemaSpice only briefly mentions the subject.

I don't think this meets WP:GNG or, if you want to consider it a true "event", WP:NEVENT. Literally everything about this article, while attributed to reliable sources (minus some references to Gameranx, a Valnet source, and esports.gg which is dubious), is just basic observations that this thing happened and players had the chance to win money through it, but doesn't provide any critical commentary or observations about the event besides those two things. There is no significant coverage on the subject from these sources to be found, and the article itself is just mainly pieced together by content that at its core sounds extremely trivial and unencyclopedic (why do we care that Roblox tweeted clips of YouTubers playing the event, for example). And all of these sources were published within a short amount of time, so WP:SUSTAINED isn't met either. This does not warrant a separate page, and I recommend redirecting it to Roblox. Maybe it could be deleted entirely given that there isn't much to preserve or merge here, but I'd just go with a redirect. λ NegativeMP1 06:52, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Roblox#Events. Concur with the nominator - it's a tricky one but I think reporting on game events tend to reiterate promotional or publisher information and lack much commentary that would suggest WP:NEVENT or otherwise. The Escapist article has some interesting commentary on the event maybe not going so smoothly in the end, but the rest of the sources are iterations of the same thing: it's going to happen, it will have these games, it has a prize, and will occur on this timeframe. All of that's really coming from the publisher. VRXCES (talk) 07:28, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Another example of Roblox games having shoddy articles created from them just because a young Wikipedian played them and decided it would be a good idea.

Unsourced BLP riddled with unprovable or unnecessary claims. I can't prove this player played in the NFL in the given years. A search at NFL.com and Pro-football-reference.com return absolutely nothing, which would be unusual for someone who played for 12 years (and won a Super Bowl), and results from newspaper searches between the given playing years return nothing relevant. The only source I can prove here is the early years, that he did play football, but not enough to warrant notability. The personal life section is partially true but is not mentioned in non-primary sources. Most results for Kelly Bednar in newspapers and searches are for unrelated people. Additionally, author has only created this article and has not come back to edit since. Chew(VTE) 06:15, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Minor incident - no deaths. WP:GNG is dubious (consider WP:SINGLEEVENT and WP:NOTNEWS). Very unlikely to have enduring effects; if they appear the article can be restored once enduring coverage is shown to exist. We are getting really too inclusionist with minor incidents like this.

  • Keep by the GNG and EVENT. By Dutch standards this is a major attack and the national and international coverage reflects that. The stabbing took place in the very heart of Amsterdam which further contributes to the interest. In the deletion rationale, nominator points at WP:SINGLEEVENT: "People notable for only one event". An attack is not a person so this does not support deletion. WP:NOTNEWS does not support deletion either: For example, routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities, while sometimes useful, is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject of that coverage. The references used fall outside the domain defined by the policy. gidonb (talk) 06:24, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Off-TV Play (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

An attempted bold merge of the article was reverted, but rather than start a merge discussion I am starting an AfD instead due to my serious notability concerns. This article would seem to fail WP:GNG as there are no secondary sources that appear to talk specifically about Off-TV Play as a feature as opposed to the Wii U console as a whole or its controllers. Looking at the sources given upon the article's creation, they are all Wii U console reviews and not much seems to have changed. Notability is not inherited; that is a core tenet of notability, so a feature does not become notable solely because the device it is on is notable. Furthermore, with devices like the PlayStation Portal, the feature cannot be said to be unique any longer either. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 05:20, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article topic fails WP:ORG. The party is defunct and achieved insignificant results in the one election it fielded candidates in (0.21% of the popular vote, less than 7% in ridings it contested).

The article was previously PRODed in 2020 but deproded by Spinningspark with the explanation: "This is more than the usual joke/personal soapbox minor party. It needs a more thorough discussion before deleting, and some evidence of WP:BEFORE". I looked through Google (general web search), Google Books, Google Scholar, and my university databases (local to BC) for reliable sources and found no in-depth coverage. The only content about the party that has survived on the web is non-in-depth public records from the provincial government (i.e. date registered, deregistered, etc.).

I found this article by a local Indigenous publisher, but the coverage does not include a claim of notability. The coverage is quite routine and is a basic breakdown of the party's ambitions. Yue🌙 02:05, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's notability guideline for biographies of living persons (WP:BIO) requires that the subject receive significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources. The existing article primarily relies on routine announcements and official listings, such as his judicial appointments and transfers. These do not constitute the in-depth, independent coverage necessary to establish encyclopedic notability.The article also lacks citations from independent news outlets, academic publications, or other reputable sources that provide substantial information about Justice Singh's career, judicial decisions, or impact on the legal field. The absence of such sources violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy (WP:V), which mandates that all material be attributable to reliable, published sources. The article predominantly focuses on recent events, such as Justice Singh's transfer proposals and appointments, without providing a broader historical context or analysis of his contributions to the judiciary. This emphasis on recent events without substantial historical significance may violate Wikipedia's recentism guideline (WP:RECENT), which cautions against giving undue weight to recent developments.

Wikipedia's guidelines stipulate that subjects must receive significant coverage from multiple independent, reliable sources to warrant a standalone article. In this case, the available information primarily originates from official announcements and routine coverage, lacking in-depth analysis or commentary on Justice Sreedharan's judicial contributions. While his professional milestones are documented, the absence of substantial independent coverage suggests that the article does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability standards for biographies of living persons.

Not Notable. concerns regarding notability and verifiability, as outlined in Wikipedia's content policies. For a film to be deemed notable, it must receive significant coverage from independent, reliable sources. While Kattumaram has been reviewed by several outlets, the depth and prominence of this coverage are limited. For instance, Asian Movie Pulse provides a review that, although positive, does not constitute the extensive coverage required to establish notability. Similarly, BollySpice.com offers a review, but its reach and influence are not substantial enough to meet Wikipedia's notability standards. Additionally, the film's listing on platforms like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, which include brief synopses and user-generated content, do not serve as independent, reliable sources for establishing notability. Furthermore, the article's reliance on such sources may violate Wikipedia's verifiability policy, which mandates that information be backed by reputable, third-party publications. Without substantial, independent coverage, the article does not meet the criteria set forth in Wikipedia's notability guidelines for films, making it a candidate for deletion.

The article Simran Gurung does not meet Wikipedia’s general notability guidelines (WP:GNG) due to a lack of significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Most of the cited references provide only brief mentions rather than in-depth coverage, failing to establish the subject’s notability per WP:SIGCOV. Additionally, several sources are either primary, affiliated with the subject, or routine announcements, which do not meet the standards of WP:INDEP and WP:RS. The article also relies on repetitive sources that do not add substantial new information. If the subject is primarily known for a single event, it may also fall under the concerns outlined in WP:ONEEVENT. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 01:24, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: The BLP is about a football player, who made her Senior India debut while still being a junior player... and received substantial coverage all over India including in vernacular press. The BLP easily passes notability guidelines and WP:GNG as one mainstream newspaper, Telegraph, a reliable, secondary source published a bylined indepth article on the subject. It also passes WP:INDEP. One more popular football website has a full article on her. Even if we ignore this, there are three other reliable sources where the BLP is the main topic. It passes WP:SIGCOV, which requires "coverage to be more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." The sources are from Telegraph, Sportstar, Ukhrul Times (a reliable and reputed small paper in the region), Sikkim Express and North East Live channel. Her events coverage spread from 2022 to 2025, the nominator must have missed it. So it is not a WP:ONEEVENT. So I added more sources for her domestic events. I urge the nominator to check the sources once again and also to familiarise with notability guidelines. Posting in good faith. Davidindia (talk) 05:02, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

While Justice Sinha's judicial roles are documented, the article lacks substantial coverage from independent, reliable sources that provide in-depth information about his career and contributions. The existing references primarily consist of routine announcements and official listings, which do not establish the level of notability required for a standalone article.

Notable director (his 75th film) and notable cast, so why are there no reliable reviews? A search in Telugu (or English for that matter) surprisingly yields nothing [3]. No reliable reviews or other reliable sources apart from the single sources already on the article. The old sources that used to be on the article and a WP:BEFORE yielded: [4] [5] [6] [7]. This is not a pre-2010 film, it is a 2016 film, hence it needs more sources.

    After searching several newspaper archives, I finally found hits in the Schwäbische Zeitung [8]. Most of it is not sigcov, simply covering exhibitions of his work and by his art group Panta Rhei (likely notable) – this has four sentences about his work and his art, this has around a paragraph about his art, this has a sentence or two. I strongly suspect that their archive, which would have covered Feierabend when he was alive, will have more coverage, but it seems like I'd need their app to access it.
    The search function of the Deutscher Zeitungsarchiv is very obtuse but it seems like they don't have anything on him – not a surprise, given that their coverage after ~1950 is limited. Toadspike [Talk] 18:28, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    From the German Wikipedia article, there's a biography of him titled "Die Stille ist laut genug: Der Maler Hermann Feierabend und seine Bilder" and have an article about one of his paintings being stolen [9] (paywalled). Searching that newspaper (Südkurier) for his name in quotes, I get over 39 results. At this point, I am certain that enough sourcing exists for an article, even if I cannot access it due to paywalls. We should keep this article. Toadspike [Talk] 18:55, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This artist does not meet WP:NARTIST. He has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, or won significant critical attention, or been represented within the permanent collections of any notable galleries or museums. The article has no citations and I am not finding any RS to support the information presented in the article. The German Wikipedia article does not show notability. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:11, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Did you read anything I wrote above? Although he isn't world famous, "He has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition" is demonstrably false [10][11][12][13]and "or won significant critical attention" is also demonstrably false (there is a book written about him). While I admit that the sources I've linked don't cover all the info in the article, there are in fact many reliable sources that cover him. I also strongly disagree with "The German Wikipedia article does not show notability" – it cites a book and a news source, which is a lot by their standards. Toadspike [Talk] 07:42, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes I read what you wrote and disagree with your assessment. Multiple items in Schwäbische Zeitung does not make an artist notable, just a member of a local group of artists who exhibit in the town hall every year. Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 16:22, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Apologies for my harsh language. I think the paywalled Südkurier articles and potential coverage in the Schwäbische archives, plus the book, are enough. You do not. This is reasonable and we may agree to disagree. Toadspike [Talk] 17:25, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Toadspike. That seems like enough coverage to be a notability pass to me, even if it is a bit hard to access at the moment. PARAKANYAA (talk) 08:11, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The article still does not have any references, include birth and death dates and places. Hope the closer will consider Wikipedia:BURDEN. There is nothing to create a source assessment table from, which is what I would usually do at this point. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:40, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that most of the article's current content is unverifiable and you may remove it; that doesn't impact notability, though. A source assessment table can't be made due to my NEXIST-style argument, but I would love to hear whether you believe the evidence I've found is enough to assume suitable independent, reliable sources exist in the real world. Toadspike [Talk] 15:25, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If we remove the unverified content in the current article it would have no text at all. Not one word would remain. I do not think the sources you note might show notability or bring the article up to Wikipedia standards. Reading a machine translated version of the (uncited) article on German Wiki https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Feierabend one can see that it is a nice article honoring a local artist who painted as a side gig to his mechanical engineering career. His wife wrote a monograph about him.
For some reason, an editor recently translated the German article and stripped out some the the fluffier fluff and pasted into the existing stub (that they created in 2009), without any attribution.
Hope this makes my opinion clear :) Best, --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 19:24, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hm. I did not notice that the book was written by his wife, which does limit its value for determining notability. The book does retain some value, as it also contains contributions from others, like a foreword covering much of his biography by the mayor of Friedrichshafen, de:Bernd Wiedmann. That foreword can be found in the second image here – based on this image, I have rewritten the article completely to include only what I can verify.

Delete This person does not fulfil WP:ARTIST, as noted above. The third criterion is not fulfilled, as the biography was written by his wife, and the other three do not apply. WP:POLITICIAN appears not to apply either. While there are clearly a few sources available, I would lean towards simply deleting. Best, Cfrhansen (talk) 01:23, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Leaning delete Agree this fails WP:GNG and WP:NLIST. If the individual books/plots are notable, they can be given their own stubs/pages and this can be converted to an actual list. Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 01:38, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry@Anonrfjwhuikdzz but.... ”if the invidual books are notable’?????? just inform yourself please (or simply read the page). They do have a page! And they are EXTREMELY notable.... -Mushy Yank. 20:29, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Didn't say Sin City series was not GNG as a whole, but individual books may not be notable enough to warrant their own page. For the books that can pass GNG on their own, write pages for them and make this page into an actual list pointing to those pages. As it stands, this "list" is a catalogue of plot summaries and not a list at all. Information about the less notable books in the series can be merged into the main Sin City article rather than being placed here. Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 22:23, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks but individual books are very notable. And, again, they DO already have a page. For the rest, I am bit confused, yes it's a list of the yarns/episodes in chronological order of publication, which gives a good outline of how the series took shape, and it includes plot and publication details. Can be improved. Will leave it at that. -Mushy Yank. 00:01, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Chiswick Chap. Wikipedia is WP:NOT a catalog of subplots, and this is wholly unsourced. Even if someone were to find sources for development and reception, it would duplicate the content that belongs at Sin City. Shooterwalker (talk) 15:36, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Leaning merge/delete I am still leaning toward merge/delete or merge/redirect. The four "yarns" with their own pages are notable on their own. I am still questioning the notability of the remaining books. In my opinion, the added citations on the page largely point to notability of the series rather than individual books. Some, like the reference to | dark horse comics or EBSCO really only establish existence, not notability. @Mushy Yank, it would be good to include pages or chapters for the book references you've added to make it quicker for other editors to judge notability. Yarns like "Just Another Saturday Night" that were adapted for the sin city films probably deserve their own page as adaptation into major films suggests notability of the original material.
  • Overall my thoughts remain largely the same as they did previously: create articles for the books that meet notability guidelines, merge short summaries of remaining books to the main Sin City page, and delete this page. The table of yarns on the Sin city page should be enough for navigation to the various pages for individual yarns and this article can be deleted or redirected as appropriate.

Relisting comment: Relisting as there is still no consensus. User:Geschichte were you going to voice an opinion for a specific outcome? By the way, an AFD can not close as "Move" as that outcome, as it is renaming, is an editorial decision that is done after a closure. If this is your choice, then "vote" for Keep and then a move discussion can occur.
