Cited with only two sources, the one is more like an open sourced blogspot [1] in which the sources attached are full of dead links. The other [2] seems dubious to me.

An obvious WP:REDUNDANTFORK of List of wars involving Yemen with no source whatsoever.

North and South Yemen were two states that existed at the same time; Placing one over another might cause confusion for the time period esp for editors who know nothing about that stuff and are here for the modern Yemen part. Plus we dont have a "List of wars involving Korea" (We do have "List of wars involving Korea until 1948" tho) because those are different states 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 11:10, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can find no independent WP:SIGCOV of this cricketer to meet WP:GNG/WP:NSPORT. The independent coverage mentions him in the context of his father, who was a notable cricketer but from whom notability cannot be WP:INHERITED. Nor does he appear to meet the standard of WP:NCRICKET of playing at the international level. Obviously he played in an era without digital coverage, so if you find qualifying sources not accessible in a BEFORE search, please ping me. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:39, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Per MOS:TVEPISODELIST (For very lengthy series, generally 80+ episodes, it may be necessary to break the episode list into individual season or story arc lists. and If this is done, the main list of episodes should still contain the entire episode list, appropriately sectioned, without the episode summaries.) Beyblade X currently has 64 episodes and will eventually have 80 episodes. Media Mender 📬✍🏻 10:14, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having trouble with the maps on this one, because in spite of what GNIS says, I can't find any trace of the label before the 2013 edition.

(1) The topic is already covered at Patani Kingdom#Blue and Purple Queens. There isn't nearly enough information in scholarly sources to sustain a stand-alone article. (2) Siam's campaign took place in 1634, so the erroneous title wouldn't be useful as a redirect. (3) The little existing content here is wildly inaccurate, so it wouldn't be worth keeping. Yamada died in 1630 and couldn't have had a part in the Siamese invasion. Paul_012 (talk) 03:39, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

BLP with unclear notability that is inappropriately sourced, creator has not rectified issues and has unusual history. Version 1 was draftified by Significa liberdade as having no sources. Version 2 was submitted to AfC, then accepted by a now blocked sock puppet. NPP tagged, nothing done. I can't draftify again, which might be the right action; it should not stay like this, we need some quality control. Ldm1954 (talk) 03:37, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: in case I was not clear enough, my suggestion is a vote for Draftify, reverting the sock puppet move to main from a draft. Ldm1954 (talk)

  • Draftify per nominator. His "General method for rapid synthesis of multicomponent peptide mixtures" has heavy citations, so there might be a case for WP:PROF, but the current article is not adequately sourced for mainspace, and the sockpuppet AfC acceptance should be reversed. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:40, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Draftification seems like a reasonable approach given the history here. The article is in a poor state and should not have been accepted at AfC. I've found one biographical source which I've used to clean up parts of the article; there's also a 10-page interview in Hargittai, Istvan; Hargittai, Magdolna (2003-03-21). Candid Science III: More Conversations With Famous Chemists. World Scientific. ISBN 978-1-78326-111-6. (also by the Hargittais) which looks like it might be useful, but the book isn't available from archive.org, and Google Books only has snippet view. I was able to find a source for his 2002 Széchenyi Prize, which may help meet WP:NPROF, but I'll leave that to other editors to decide. Preimage (talk) 01:32, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't meet WP notability. Subject is a former local congregational rabbi (12 years) with no major organisational titles other than a term as president in a local rabbi group. Per existing sources, subject only appear notable due to his fumbled testimony in a royal Commission, this incident led to his synagogue firing him. (Possibly this is notable due to his lawsuit against media coverage?). Other sources relate to family squabbles or local gossip about donors withdrawing support. Overall, there's not enough here.

There are references on the talk page which should be sufficient to mention it at Datel, but aren't enough from WP:GNG. That feels like a more useful redirect target even if it's not currently mentioned (note that CodeJunkies redirects to Action Replay currently). --Pokechu22 (talk) 07:08, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
From talk page
Nintendo Official Magazine had a review of MaxPlay.[1] (Unsurprisingly, it's fairly negative.)

There's also a mention in PSX Extreme which seems more about the disc being hard to dump than the game itself.[2] It's probably not useful to establish notability, but it is interesting to see a reference to Datel discs being weird in a print magazine (I personally know this affects other Datel discs but it doesn't seem to be mentioned there).

All other results I could find were in advertisements. There probably is at least one more magazine review in something that hasn't been digitized (e.g. CUBE) but currently there definitely isn't enough for an article.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pokechu22 (talk • contribs) 01:48, October 12, 2020 (UTC)

Fails WP:NEVENT, not in depth coverage or over a sustained amount of time. The only news since it happened was some people getting charged. ATD redirect to List of hazing deaths in the United States#2020s, where it is included (and, note, most of those deaths seem covered to the same degree as this and do not have articles) PARAKANYAA (talk) 14:50, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Here is another recent article in the Washington Post. I don't think you can call this a press release article. This is another article in People, from July 2024, meaning it was covered in this national magazine two times, both reporting and following up on the death. WP:EVENTCRIT says that "Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources". This event had widespread national and international coverage. Rublamb (talk) 19:56, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The first is a routine legal announcement that does not contribute to event notability. The second is from the day or so after it happened, also not very helpful. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:57, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A byline article in a newspaper with a wide circulation does indeed count toward notability; this article is signficantly different from the short announcement in, for example, USA Today. People covered the death twice, showing ongoing coverage at a national level. Rublamb (talk) 23:35, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, it doesn’t always, depending on the type of coverage and how they are covering it. Legal updates are almost never helpful for notability and coverage form the day after something happened cannot demonstrate sustained. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:41, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Like @Rublamb said, the event has been heavily covered in news and magazines since July, and the case continues to have new information reported in the midst of the ongoing police investigation. Some sources have covered this event more than once. The article is already sourced with a significant amount, which should meet the notability requirements. Cheera L (talk) 00:38, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cheera L This does not pass notability though, since all sources are WP:PRIMARYNEWS. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:46, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@PARAKANYAA: WP:PRIMARYNEWS says ""Primary" is not, and should not be, a bit of jargon used by Wikipedians to mean "bad" or "unreliable" or "unusable". While some primary sources are not fully independent, they can be authoritative, high-quality, accurate, fact-checked, expert-approved, subject to editorial control, and published by a reputable publisher. Primary sources can be reliable, and they can be used. Sometimes, a primary source is even the best possible source..." It continues, "AFDs (articles for deletion) require showing that topics meet the general notability guideline's requirement that secondary sources exist. It is difficult, if not impossible, to find secondary sources for...breaking news. Once a couple of years have passed, if no true secondary sources can be found, the article is usually deleted." This clearly states that primary sources are appropriate for articles such as this initially. If no secondary sources are found after two years (late 2026), it would then be appropriate for AfD. However, this nomination is premature, especially if your objection is going to be based on WP:PRIMARY. Rublamb (talk) 01:44, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Rublamb Yes, I do not dispute that more primary news sources are often very useful but primary sources do not help for notability per WP:GNG (which is what WP:NEVENT compensates for). This does not pass NEVENT either, and shows little indication of future coverage. That part of it does not mean we have to keep every breaking news event onwiki for two years after it happens. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:58, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is a not a random breaking news event, but an incident that was broadly covered in major and national publications. WP:NEVENT allows for the inclusion of these types of events. (Consider that Olympics and election outcomes are allowed in Wikipedia prior to the publication of journals and books). If you continue reading WP:PRIMARYNEWS, you will see that newspaper coverage can be a secondary source; for example, if it is interpreting primary sources such as police reports and court records. This is clearly the case here. WP:GNG says allowable secondary sources include "newspapers, books and e-books, magazines, television and radio documentaries, reports by government agencies, and academic journals." For this article, the identified potential sources provide significant coverage in the allowable formats of newspapers and magazines. Rublamb (talk) 02:29, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It was covered for a few days and then coverage dropped off except for undetailed legal reporting that is basically "person got charged". Yes - and can you genuinely argue that any of the coverage above is analytic or retrospective and not "person got charged"? Because it isn't. PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:42, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As stated above, this topic was covered in July, August, September, and November (four of the six months since it happened). That is very different from your description of a few days of coverage and, then, coverage again when sentenced in November. Unless you have reviewed all 58 articles in Newspapers.com and completely read the articles in the NYT, the Washington Post, USA Today, People, and all of the current sources, it is pretty presumptuous to say that all of these sources are "undetailed". As part of the AfD process, we look to see if an article can reasonably be improved. Given the number and range of sources, that seems more likely than not. Rublamb (talk) 04:24, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It was covered in July and with press release tier material when they were charged. Having reviewed the newspapers.com sources, literally all of it is reprinting the exact same material about the political charge, or his initial death, except for two articles: one a brief mention in a September piece from a local outlet that says in effect "this was sad for the college" and one in a piece in August that says the same. This is not WP:INDEPTH sourcing which evidences event notability.
What is there to say about this? It happened, it did not result in anything or get retrospected upon, this reads like a news article. It is a hazing death, of many hazing deaths, and is not more notable than any other hazing death on that list. PARAKANYAA (talk) 04:42, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Guess you didn't read all of the articles because this was not a hazing case. No evidence of hazing was found. This was an alcohol related death. As this article in a national magazine notes, the real story is selective in enforcement of underage drinking laws at Dartmouth. This source should also meet your desire for an analytic or retrospective article. Rublamb (talk) 05:31, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No that's just an extra sign this isn't notable. A guy drowned because he drank too much. It got talked about because people thought it was hazing and then that might not even be true. PARAKANYAA (talk) 05:55, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's a great theory but it doesn't fit the factual timeline. Jang died in July and there was some news coverage. A second round of news stories mentioned that the Greek letter organizations were suspended and that there was an anonymous tip suggesting hazing and alcohol. After a police investigation, the cause of death was announced in September, with a finding of no hazing; this was covered by some news outlets. Individuals were charged in connection with his death in November. The majority of national and major publication coverage was in November, related to the criminal charges. This indicates that the main story was students being charged in connection with another student's death, as well as underaged drinking at Dartmouth's GLOs. As the Reason article demonstrates, one issue is Dartmouth's alleged blind eye to student partying. This is a long-running narrative since the film Animal House was based on an actual Dartmouth fraternity. Numerous news articles mention, in the prior year Dartmouth had allowed both of the involved GLOs to continue operating for offenses that would have resulted in expulsion at other colleges. As this article reveals, another issue was the deaths of students in the river; this was the second in a short period. (This is also a second source that explores responses to death, rather than being about the death). Based on the prior coverage of this event, it is reasonable to expect additional news coverage when the students go to court, etc. Rublamb (talk) 15:53, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
These are all local college news and do not help for notability. WP:EVENTCRIT is not passed. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:35, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Local collage news? Reason is a national magazine. The extensive article in The Washington Post is a secondary source because it interprets official records. There is also coverage by Newsweek, People, The New York Times, NPR, CNN, and The Boston Globe. WP:EVENTCRIT says "Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards." Thus, this article meets WP:EVENTCRIT because 1) it has widespread national coverage in diverse sources and 2) it was analyzed afterwards. Rublamb (talk) 18:53, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Every article that wasn't breaking news of one variety (of them being charged, or the event) is local. This is not being re-analyzed afterwards. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:58, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Again, Reason is not a local publication, but a national magazine. Its article is not a news report but an analysis of the criminal charges, criticizing the outcome and handling of the incident. Rublamb (talk) 02:24, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I did not say it was. It is a brief recount less than six months after the event occurred (not long enough to pass WP:SUSTAINED) and says very little.

I cannot find any indication that this specific work passes GNG or NBOOK. However, the "Living Textbooks" as a platform (which this was the launch of) might. If there are sources for that this could be turned into an article on that, but I am not sure there even are. PARAKANYAA (talk) 13:06, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a book as usuual - Living Textbook of Hand Surgery is work in progress as a peer reviewed platform teaching hand surgery using text and videos for surgical techniques. Maybee category "book" is misleading. Woller (talk) 12:06, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG is demonstrated: Significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject is well established by the coverage in four independent publications:
  1. Virginia Pilot
  2. Tidewater News
  3. Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald
  4. Eastern Living
The article doesn't have to pass both WP:EVENT and WP:GNG. A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

Robinhood (2025 film)

This is a non-notable future film that may be in post-production limbo, and does not satisfy film notability. This article was correctly draftified by User:CNMall41 as not ready for mainspace. It was then moved back to article space by the originator. It was then draftified again by User: Ktkvtsh, but was then moved back to article space by User:Fathoms Below, correctly, because an article should only be draftified once, and if the draftification is contested, the next stop is AFD. So here were are.

The guideline on future films says:

Additionally, films that have already begun shooting, but have not yet been publicly released (theatres or video), should generally not have their own articles unless the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines.

Nothing in the article is about production, except to state that there was production. The article does not have reception information, because there has been no reception because it is an unreleased film, but reception information is the usual basis of film notability. The article consists of pre-release publicity, and Wikipedia is not for promotion or pre-release publicity. A review of the references shows that they are all only pre-release publicity. They are mostly press releases, and are not significant coverage of production. Many of them are not significant coverage at all.

Number Reference Remarks Independent Significant Reliable Secondary Counts toward GNG about production itself.
1 www.gulte.com/movienews A teaser saying that the leading man will lead in the film. Probably not. Reads like a press release. No. Less than 100 words. Yes No No
2 www.latestly.com A teaser about the cast. Probably not. Reads like a press release. No. Less than 100 words. Yes No No

7 www.cinemaexpress.com Another teaser about a song. Probably not. Reads like a press release. Not about production. Only about the song. Yes No No
8 Twitter (now called X) Announcement of delay in release of film. Yes Yes, in its own way. No. Twitter. No No

This article can be moved to draft space by the community to be available to be updated when (if) the film is released.

I can retitle it and shuffle stuff around to "eventify" it as "Parente family murders" or something, though with familicides we don't always do that because of how they're covered, and also in this one there's the thing about the Ponzi scheme....

A fairly WP:ROTM mid-century Los Angeles apartment building. The only WP:GNG-qualifying source is the LA Conservancy page on the complex. The LA Historic Resources Inventory (a WP:PRIMARYSOURCE) indicates that the building may be eligible for a historic designation but it's not designated now. I don't see a pass of WP:GNG or WP:NBUILDING. Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:18, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Some insight as the author - I saw it on the Conservancies' website and am definitely more of an inclusionist. It has a few mentions on various city and are historical society pages, and the architect had his own article which pushed me over the edge. I thought it was on the line but decided to write it and hash it out later if people disagreed. Blervis (talk) 04:50, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: See my reasoning above. I've seen buildings that feel less notable to me, I guess it just depends how much stock you put in the LA Conservancies opinion of what constitutes a historic building. Blervis (talk) 04:52, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:NCREATIVE works generally only one direction; being the creator of a notable/significant work can qualify for notability, but it's not really possible for a work to have WP:INHERITED notability from its creator. (The exception is articulated under WP:NBOOK for works by creators of such fame that every work they produce is considered notable (say, Shakespeare), but this architect is not at that level and buildings aren't covered by NBOOK.) So until we have more independent SIGCOV besides the LA Conservancy, there's not a GNG pass. Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:04, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I didn't mean to imply it was notable solely because of the article, just that a building on a recognized historic listing by an architect of note is more notable than one that isn't. As I said above, I agree that this is on the line, I feel that the conservancy and city sources elevate it to notability. With respect to the WP:ROTM comment, it clearly isn't since the Conservancy has designated it as of particular interest. Whether you think that particular organization is too free with designations is another question.
    If people feel that both city and Conservancy recognition doesn't amount to notability then I won't fight it - that's all there is at this time. I'm of the opinion that those two are enough to constitute notability - not every building is going to have books dedicated to it. It seems consensus is against me on this one. If it does get recognized by the city or other entity someday we can revisit this. Blervis (talk) 02:04, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I'm very pro NRHP buildings having a listing here, but the sourcing just doesn't seem to be there. I've been creating articles on and off on this subject, and it's a high bar to meet for inclusion, but it is what it is. Oaktree b (talk) 16:48, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails GNG and WP:POLITICIAN - see previous discussion of Auckland Councillors Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Watson (New Zealand politician) TheLoyalOrder (talk) 00:55, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Auckland Councillors each represent wards that are often larger than most New Zealand electorates, earn a full-time wage of over $100k, and control a budget and asset base in the billions. As the majority don't represent any mainstream political party it's difficult for citizens of New Zealand's largest city to access basic, objective information about their public representatives. It's really concerning to see these pages being deleted. All should be kept and maintained. Otakoulane (talk) 22:43, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural keep Simply being an Auckland councillor in its own right doesn't meet WP:NPOL, and city councillors across the world need to have a heightened level of coverage in order to be kept. That being said, this isn't the worst article in the world, and while I'd still vote to delete for failing GNG, it feels potentially salvageable if other sources exist. I'm not looking through the other six since they all need to be reviewed on their own merits, so these need individual AfD discussions, hence the procedural keep.

I'll integrate any additional sources I can for the pages shortly, hopefully to the point where the pages will meet GNG (and/or I'll update my comment if I don't feel that there is enough published about these figures). --Prosperosity (talk) 03:15, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • In general, I do not think local councillors meet NPOL and should by-and-large not have articles. So my views are:
  • Weak keep Josephine Bartley because the abuse by anti-vaxxers gives a bit of depth to her notability, but it is weak.
  • Weak delete Julie Fairey because it feels borderline offensive to sideline her as a footnote on her husband's page, but the sources depict a fairly unremarkable career on council.
  • Weak keep Kerrin Leoni because her most remarkable feature is that she is the first wāhine Māori councillor (really? seriously?? do better NZ). Normally I would say that being the first such person to be elected is not necessarily notable enough for NPOL, and she therefore does not qualify, but recent media reports indicate she is planning to run for mayor. If so, we should keep her article and expand it with information about her campaign.
  • Delete Ken Turner as I can't turn up anything notable here.
  • Delete Shane Henderson as there is nothing notable there either.
  • Delete Chris Darby as there is nothing particularly noteworthy there, other than his long tenure.
  • And finally, Weak delete Richard Hills, as I don't find much notable there other than being the first gay councillor, but as I said above, I don't think being the first such politician elected is enough to exceed NPOL. David Palmer//cloventt (talk) 08:26, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There was a consensus agreed among the NZ politics editors many years ago that Auckland councillors have inherent notability, but unfortunately I can't remember where it is as it articulated very well why they should be seen as notable. Regardless, my own view is that as Auckland councillors represent areas with more people than parliamentary electorates this gives them GNG. As does the status of Auckland being a "super" city which is closer in scale and scope to a provincial government than a local government polity (example being Auckland has more than five times as many voters as the Australian Capital Territory whose assembly members are considered notable).

    Consensus among kiwi editors should not override GNG and NPOL. If we want to define the supercity as being at the equivalent level of a provincial government that would make some sense to me. David Palmer//cloventt (talk) 10:28, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
