2025-05-13 | List of Basics with Babish episodes | AfD (1 k, 1 d) (Two episode lists for YouTube cooking shows, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NWEB. We don't even have articles about the series, just one about the overall YouTube channel that they're distributed on -- and each of these is referenced to a single news article each to verify that the shows exist, while otherwise referencing the actual content of the lists (i.e. the episode titles, airdates and YouTube view counts) to their own primary source presences on YouTube or the host's own self-published website rather than reliable third-party sourcing. So if the shows could be properly verified as having enough reliable source coverage to earn their own standalone articles as separate topics from the overall channel, then we could include the episode lists in the show articles -- but we don't need standalone episode lists if the shows don't even have articles at all, and we'd need to see a lot more than just one reliable source each to justify articles about the shows.

2025-05-13 | Byel (Brazilian actor, YouTuber, and entrepreneur) | AfD (0 k, 4 d) (Was tagged as a G5 but I was unable to convince myself that G5 applies. I'll let the prior declined speedies and PRODs in the history speak for themselves:
YouTube content creator with limited visibility! A paid promotion linked to an entry on Wikipedia in another language, also created by the same user, raises doubts about the nature of this content, possibly suggesting it's an advertisement. I believe that the page dedicated to a Brazilian actor and YouTuber does not meet notability standards due to a lack of appropriate sources. Of the 7 cited sources, IMDb is generally considered unreliable, and the mentioned films on the page are not widely recognized, making the article questionable in terms of relevance..

2025-05-14 | Rise of Kingdoms (2018 video game) | AfD (3 k, 3 d) (2 relists) (Fails WP:GNG. This game has got to hold the record for fewest words of review written per dollar earned, as there's been nearly nothing written about Rise of Kingdoms's gameplay. The article's reception section cites three unreliable sources and an Arkansas newspaper.
There's been slightly more written about its marketing and sales, but I don't think it's enough to hold an article about the game together. ~ A412 talk! 07:51, 28 April 2025 (UTC)) |

2025-05-17 | Litten, Torracat, and Incineroar (Pokémon species) | AfD (2 k, 5 d) (Another attempt at re-creating Incineroar, which was previously AfD'd in 2020 as a result of lacking the coverage needed for an article. The reception is almost entirely WP:ROUTINE announcements regarding the character, WP:VALNET sources, which do not provide notability, or brief listicle rankings without further SIGCOV. There's also a large chunk relating to Wolfe Glick, but it's not clear why this is relevant; a certain person liking a Pokemon is not important unless that importance is defined by other sources and illustrated in impact: i.e, if Glick's relation with Incineroar resulted in a reevaluation of its popularity, it led to any particular movements, etc.
I've previously done research on Incineroar, and the Pokemon is just non-notable; there's no real SIGCOV on it outside of TheGamer and Smash announcement articles, with the latter falling under ROUTINE. Litten and Torracat have comparatively even less coverage, and don't have any SIGCOV individually or with Incineroar that would be able to salvage this article's Reception. As it stands, I'm not seeing the coverage needed for a separate split here, and I'd support a redirect back to List of generation VII Pokémon as an alternative to deletion.

I can't find any RSs amongst the references, which all appear to me to be superficial, insincere or average brief coverage. Company is WP:ROTM. Fails WP:NCORP. Cabrils (talk) 08:00, 18 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-18 | Stobotnik | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (I was made aware of this article when I was notified it linked to an article of mine. I find it to be non-notable, with only The Mary Sue article and the ComingSoon.net interview as sources for establishing notability (probably for the former, as it doesn't dive into fan works much). The Washington Post article doesn't provide WP:SIGNIFICANT coverage in my view. The Anthem Magazine interview does cover the relationship between the characters in the stories, but not the fan ship, and the Toronto Star article barely covers the relationship itself, as does the the IGN article. The Kotaku article cannot be used at all due to Kotaku articles written since 2023 having been declared unreliable. The rest of the sources are WP:VALNET sources, which cannot be used to establish notability. Google News searches for "stobotnik", "stone x robotnik", and "robotnik x stone" only brought up some of the prior sources, Valnet sources, and an interview that doesn't cover the fan ship (from reading the automatically-generated transcript). ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki (talk | contribs) 17:18, 18 May 2025 (UTC)) |

2025-05-13 | Richard Hunt (editor) (British activist) | AfD (1 k, 0 d) (This article has existed in a pretty dire state since its creation in 2006. Over the past two decades, a dearth of significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources has been noted. It seems that the subject's alleged notability was inherited from their affiliation with the Green Anarchist publication and their later affiliation with Troy Southgate's national-anarchism.
None of the sources currently cited in this article give the subject substantial coverage independent of these two areas. There appears to be no information that could construct anything resembling a biography about this person. As this article appears to fall short of our notability guidelines on people, I'm recommending this article for deletion; a possible alternative to deletion could be redirecting to the Green Anarchist article.

2025-05-13 | Crossroads (book series) (High fantasy book series by Kate Elliott) | AfD (4 k, 1 d) (Article that only cites its own books, and searching it on Google only gives me order listings of the books, and the independent sources I do find are dubious at best. The entire article is just a plot summary and would need substantial cleanup to be a good-ish article. Was PRODded really recently but was rejected because merging is supposedly a better option.

However, the authorship of the book is highly disputed, and even the content variations are debatable. This issue has been discussed by Ahlehaqmedia, a scholarly website. In its current form, the article would need to be entirely rewritten based on reliable sources. Given the present structure and sourcing, it is not suitable as a standalone article.

One of the sources is a press release, another is some random Flash presentation (which I have no idea if it is reliable or not), another is a 2 sentence mention in an article about a movie, and the HarperCollins profile seems to be a primary source that does not establish notability. (I’m pretty sure every author under that publishing company has a profile on there, and the author gets to write the blurb that goes on it.)

Further, they aren't even reviews, they are reporting on a single allegation that they were offered money to ditch trump... This is not coverage on the book, and the book itself never received any coverage as far as I can see.

2025-05-18 | Elise Allen (American screenwriter) | AfD (1 k, 2 d) (1 relist) (Not convinced this person is notable. Yes she wrote a "New York Times bestseller", but even for that the primary reason it was a bestseller was because she coauthored it with Hilary Duff, and it seems likely many people bought it because they were fans of Duff – essentially ghostwriting in the open. She created some children's TV shows – even if those shows are notable, I don't think that necessarily makes her notable by extension.

Worth mentioning that even within the limited category of organists who took an external music degree at Durham University, Candlyn does not compare that well to others e.g. I don't think he was ever a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists, a full professor of music, or the recipient of a government award (like Order of the British Empire, or an American equivalent) Leonstojka (talk) 14:34, 11 May 2025 (UTC)) |

The notability claim here is that he serves as a local authority councillor in the City of London Corporation -- but that's the Square Mile, not London in its sprawling entirety, so he isn't entitled to the same automatic presumption of notability that a member of the London Assembly would get, and would have to show really solid WP:GNG-worthy sourcing to establish passage of NPOL #2. But five of the six footnotes here are primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and the only one that does come from a GNG-worthy source just briefly namechecks his existence as a provider of soundbite in an article about something other than himself, so it can't singlehandedly get him over the bar all by itself if it's the article's only reliable source. As always, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody more knowledgeable about British local politics than I am can find solidly reliable sourcing to improve it with, but he isn't automatically entitled to an article just for existing as a local authority councillor, and primary sourcing doesn't cut it.

The fact that Mohamed Salah also set a club record for Premier League goals is also not really something that needs a whole article about it. The result had no impact on the destination of the Premier League title, since Liverpool finished in fifth and Manchester United finished in third, significanly behind winners Manchester City. The "Aftermath" section of the article also fails to hit home the long-term impact of the match.

Aristotle contrasts chresmatistics, which is the art of money-making, with economics, which is the art of household management in the Politics and in the Nicomachean Ethics. (Aristotle used the word 'techne' where I use the word 'art'.) The term and category of chresmatistics is totally inessential to understanding Aristotle's views concerning which ways of acquiring wealth are legitimate and which illegitimate, or any other philosopher's views. And though the article may point out some real parallels between the criticism Marx and others made of capitalism, I don't think this very obscure Greek word has any real significance, and that any valuable content on this page should be merged to more frequently read general articles concerning philosophical critiques of capitalism, ancient ideas about economics, or into the articles of specific philosophers who developed Aristotle's ideas. Even then, I think that that material would be appropriate only if the later philosopher made this distinction between money-making and house-management a central element of their position.

2025-05-18 | List of princesses of Britain (before 1917) | AfD (0 k, 2 d) (There are several problems with this article. First, the entries after 1714 largely duplicate those in British_princess#List_of_princesses_of_the_blood_royal_since_1714 and British_princess#List_of_princesses_by_marriage_since_1714. Second, as British_princess#History notes, the title "princess" was used sparingly before 1714 and even more so before 1301. That makes some of the earlier entries anachronistic - the creating editor seems to be applying a more modern rule to members of the medieval royal family that is not supported by sources (for example Weir, Alison (1996). Britains's royal families : the complete genealogy. Internet Archive. London : Pimlico. ISBN 978-0-7126-7448-5.{{cite book}} : CS1 maint: publisher location (link) which is referenced a lot). Third, a number of entries in the list are referenced to absurd sources, leading me to suspect that an LLM has been used to help generate this article, hallucinating references in the processs.

As always, companies are not automatically entitled to have articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH on third-party coverage about them and their activities in real media -- but this is referenced almost entirely to primary sources, such as the company's own press releases and directory entries and the self-published websites of non-media organizations with direct business relationships with this company, none of which are support for notability. What little there is for reliable coverage comes almost entirely from limited-circulation tech industry trade publications rather than general market media, except for a single article in an alt-weekly which isn't enough to vault the company over GNG all by itself. It also warrants note that the creator moved it into articlespace themselves without a proper WP:AFC review, even though their edit history suggests a possible (but not certain) conflict of interest (i.e. their very first edit was to post a Requested Articles request for an article about this very company, before immediately proceeding to draft and move it themselves a week later.)

As always, people are not automatically notable enough to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on significant coverage and analysis about them in reliable third-party sources independent of themselves, but this is completely unreferenced -- and while perusing the edit history reveals that it's had a couple of references in the past, they weren't solid or GNG-worthy ones: there was one Q&A interview in which he was talking about himself in the first person and one glancing namecheck of his existence in a deadlinked source that wasn't about him, and nothing else besides those at any point, so even if they were readded now that still wouldn't be enough. Further, the most frequent editor of this article has been a user named "Ron Obvious V", a clear conflict of interest, and he's gone with a significantly self-promotional and résumé-like tone rather than a neutral one. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass GNG on much, much better sourcing than this article has ever contained. Bearcat (talk) 16:47, 13 May 2025 (UTC)) |

A paid promotion linked to an entry on Wikipedia in another language, also created by the same user, raises doubts about the nature of this content, possibly suggesting it's an advertisement. I believe that the page dedicated to a Brazilian actor and YouTuber does not meet notability standards due to a lack of appropriate sources.

Over the past two decades, a dearth of significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources has been noted. It seems that the subject's alleged notability was inherited from their affiliation with the Green Anarchist publication and their later affiliation with Troy Southgate's national-anarchism.
None of the sources currently cited in this article give the subject substantial coverage independent of these two areas. There appears to be no information that could construct anything resembling a biography about this person. As this article appears to fall short of our notability guidelines on people, I'm recommending this article for deletion; a possible alternative to deletion could be redirecting to the Green Anarchist article.

They wrote the ZX Spectrum game Wriggler together with their twin when they were at school, and this game is clearly notable, but nothing else they have done appears to be notable. Also nominating The Vampires of Bloody Island for deletion (no need to redirect this), which is the film Allin Kempthorne created. The only coverage that could be found for this is blatantly promotional ("we were forced to bring forward the release of this film because of an email campaign that no-one but us is the source for existing") and from sources of dubious reliability.

It was made by Metallica, it does not sign any other artist but Metallica, and it has not released anything but work made by Metallica. It is also not similar to something like Reprise Records or Republic Records, which are whole companies with their own standout history, because Blackened Recordings has no history.

As always, radio stations are not "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to pass WP:GNG on their sourceability -- but apart from one citation to a music blog that isn't a reliable source (and wouldn't be enough to get this over GNG all by itself even if we did handwave it through), this is otherwise referenced entirely to the station's own self-published content about itself, which is not support for notability at all.

The closest we have to a source that shows notability is 5, which was written by a writer who has contributed to Pitchfork.

The song is a GA article, however GA criteria has changed since the song was approved. Moreover, a song being a GA articles doesn't grant it notability. Despite charting, these are lower regions of said charts and charts alone don't guaranty a article about said song should exist. The song was only part of a limited edition of the album. Most of the references are about the album, not the song itself and there are also brief mentions of the song when reviewing concerts because it was part of the setlist. Ed Sheeran is an interested third party since he wrote the song and most of these are just interviews he gave speaking about the song. Henceforth, self-promotion and product placement are not the routes to having an encyclopedia article. The published works must be someone else writing about the song/single. The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself (or of its artist, record label, producers and songwriters) have actually considered the song/single notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works that focus solely upon it.

The reception is almost entirely WP:ROUTINE announcements regarding the character, WP:VALNET sources, which do not provide notability, or brief listicle rankings without further SIGCOV. There's also a large chunk relating to Wolfe Glick, but it's not clear why this is relevant; a certain person liking a Pokemon is not important unless that importance is defined by other sources and illustrated in impact: i.e, if Glick's relation with Incineroar resulted in a reevaluation of its popularity, it led to any particular movements, etc.
I've previously done research on Incineroar, and the Pokemon is just non-notable; there's no real SIGCOV on it outside of TheGamer and Smash announcement articles, with the latter falling under ROUTINE. Litten and Torracat have comparatively even less coverage, and don't have any SIGCOV individually or with Incineroar that would be able to salvage this article's Reception. As it stands, I'm not seeing the coverage needed for a separate split here, and I'd support a redirect back to List of generation VII Pokémon as an alternative to deletion.

2025-05-13 | Richard Hunt (editor) (British activist) | AfD (1 k, 0 d) (This article has existed in a pretty dire state since its creation in 2006. Over the past two decades, a dearth of significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources has been noted. It seems that the subject's alleged notability was inherited from their affiliation with the Green Anarchist publication and their later affiliation with Troy Southgate's national-anarchism.
None of the sources currently cited in this article give the subject substantial coverage independent of these two areas. There appears to be no information that could construct anything resembling a biography about this person. As this article appears to fall short of our notability guidelines on people, I'm recommending this article for deletion; a possible alternative to deletion could be redirecting to the Green Anarchist article.

2025-05-17 | Chrematistics (Economics theory studying money) | AfD (1 k, 0 d) (1 relist) (An extremely obscure word appearing occasionally in Aristotle's work
Aristotle contrasts chresmatistics, which is the art of money-making, with economics, which is the art of household management in the Politics and in the Nicomachean Ethics. (Aristotle used the word 'techne' where I use the word 'art'.) The term and category of chresmatistics is totally inessential to understanding Aristotle's views concerning which ways of acquiring wealth are legitimate and which illegitimate, or any other philosopher's views. And though the article may point out some real parallels between the criticism Marx and others made of capitalism, I don't think this very obscure Greek word has any real significance, and that any valuable content on this page should be merged to more frequently read general articles concerning philosophical critiques of capitalism, ancient ideas about economics, or into the articles of specific philosophers who developed Aristotle's ideas. Even then, I think that that material would be appropriate only if the later philosopher made this distinction between money-making and house-management a central element of their position.

The result had no impact on the destination of the Premier League title, since Liverpool finished in fifth and Manchester United finished in third, significanly behind winners Manchester City. The "Aftermath" section of the article also fails to hit home the long-term impact of the match.

2025-05-13 | List of Anime with Alvin episodes | AfD (1 k, 1 d) (Two episode lists for YouTube cooking shows, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NWEB. We don't even have articles about the series, just one about the overall YouTube channel that they're distributed on -- and each of these is referenced to a single news article each to verify that the shows exist, while otherwise referencing the actual content of the lists (i.e. the episode titles, airdates and YouTube view counts) to their own primary source presences on YouTube or the host's own self-published website rather than reliable third-party sourcing. So if the shows could be properly verified as having enough reliable source coverage to earn their own standalone articles as separate topics from the overall channel, then we could include the episode lists in the show articles -- but we don't need standalone episode lists if the shows don't even have articles at all, and we'd need to see a lot more than just one reliable source each to justify articles about the shows.

The reception is almost entirely WP:ROUTINE announcements regarding the character, WP:VALNET sources, which do not provide notability, or brief listicle rankings without further SIGCOV. There's also a large chunk relating to Wolfe Glick, but it's not clear why this is relevant; a certain person liking a Pokemon is not important unless that importance is defined by other sources and illustrated in impact: i.e, if Glick's relation with Incineroar resulted in a reevaluation of its popularity, it led to any particular movements, etc.
I've previously done research on Incineroar, and the Pokemon is just non-notable; there's no real SIGCOV on it outside of TheGamer and Smash announcement articles, with the latter falling under ROUTINE. Litten and Torracat have comparatively even less coverage, and don't have any SIGCOV individually or with Incineroar that would be able to salvage this article's Reception. As it stands, I'm not seeing the coverage needed for a separate split here, and I'd support a redirect back to List of generation VII Pokémon as an alternative to deletion.

I find it to be non-notable, with only The Mary Sue article and the ComingSoon.net interview as sources for establishing notability (probably for the former, as it doesn't dive into fan works much). The Washington Post article doesn't provide WP:SIGNIFICANT coverage in my view. The Anthem Magazine interview does cover the relationship between the characters in the stories, but not the fan ship, and the Toronto Star article barely covers the relationship itself, as does the the IGN article. The Kotaku article cannot be used at all due to Kotaku articles written since 2023 having been declared unreliable. The rest of the sources are WP:VALNET sources, which cannot be used to establish notability. Google News searches for "stobotnik", "stone x robotnik", and "robotnik x stone" only brought up some of the prior sources, Valnet sources, and an interview that doesn't cover the fan ship (from reading the automatically-generated transcript). ❤︎PrincessPandaWiki (talk | contribs) 17:18, 18 May 2025 (UTC)) |

As always, while we permit articles about future elections at the federal level to exist practically as soon as the public finish voting in the previous one, that's because there's actually substantive stuff to say about them: public polling on the popularity of the incumbent government, tracking changes in party leadership and seat standings, content about political issues, and on and so forth. But we don't generally maintain articles about city council elections this far in advance, because at the city council level all there is to actually say is idle speculation about who might or might not run, and that's all that's present here. The article, further, is not adequately referenced to show that this is already the subject of any significant coverage as of May 2025 -- three of the six footnotes are primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and two more are from a hyperlocal community blog that doesn't count as a WP:GNG-worthy source at all (but were misrepresented in the citations as coming from a different publication than they really did, until I corrected them). Just one article comes from a real GNG-worthy newspaper at all, which is not enough all by itself. It also warrants note that even Toronto doesn't have an article already in place about its 2026 municipal election yet, and Hamilton's hardly qualifies as more notable than Toronto's. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the spring or summer of 2026, when there actually starts to be meaningful stuff to say and real candidates filing their nomination papers, but we don't need this to already have a Wikipedia article in 2025.

Citing the Bharat Sevashram Sangha website's listing of its address cannot support the claim that the area is famous for that group's presence. Listing the post office pin code does not establish notability because all sufficiently small areas have a single postal code. The Basirhat Police website failed to load, but it seems to only establish the neighborhood's existence, rather than providing significant coverage of the neighborhood as a distinct entity. The claimed 2025 population and literacy rate are made without citation, which is particularly confusing because the 2025 census of India remains indefinitely postponed, while the 2011 census of India only measured Basirhat as a whole, not at the neighborhood level.

Some of its content is lifted from articles that I wrote, but I have seen no evidence that the article topic exists. It makes about as much sense as an article about the "Asian - African conflict" throughout North America from 1700 to present. For most of history there have been more conflicts between different Assyrians and Kurds and it still doesn't make sense to consider either of them a cohesive group that is involved in an armed conflict.

This spirit of this argument against misleading presentation extends to the wider article in this case. The core of this article is an unattributed WP:CFORK of Jund Ansar Allah. Much of the content is taken from there, and its conversion to imitate a country article is misleading to readers as per the RfC. The article presents a one day standoff in a mosque as a country. Development of the shifted material has furthered this. For example, that the entity "Collapsed" is stated in the lead and reinforced by the body, but there was never an entity that existed to collapse. Categories such as Category:Former countries in Asia are entirely inappropriate. The sources in the article, which mostly come from the Jund Ansar Allah article, are about Jund Ansar Allah and the Battle of Rafah (2009).

Over the past two decades, a dearth of significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources has been noted. It seems that the subject's alleged notability was inherited from their affiliation with the Green Anarchist publication and their later affiliation with Troy Southgate's national-anarchism.
None of the sources currently cited in this article give the subject substantial coverage independent of these two areas. There appears to be no information that could construct anything resembling a biography about this person. As this article appears to fall short of our notability guidelines on people, I'm recommending this article for deletion; a possible alternative to deletion could be redirecting to the Green Anarchist article.

Even ignoring the WP:UPE/WP:SOCKing behaviours associated with article's creation (kinda hard to do TBH), my own WP:BEFORE hasn't surfaced sufficient independent sources to support the text of this title (even basics like DOB, POB, etc are unsupported). Not to mind a claim to notability. In terms of WP:GNG, all the biographical sources in the title are either clearly associated with the subject (including two biographical entries from websites associated with the subjects employer, and one interview which doesn't contribute to notability) or ROTM press reporting on a short-lived legal dispute (between the subject and his employer?). A WP:BEFORE search, in national news sources in Ireland, do not return any additional coverage. In short: in the Irish Independent stable of national and regional titles we find a passing mention of the legal case (and nothing else but false positives). On RTÉ news sites we find nothing for variants of subject name. Same goes for Irish Examiner - nothing for either variant.. In the Irish Times the only mentions I can find are the same two sources we find in the article. Nothing more for either variant. While I will admit to not being as familiar with how to apply WP:NACADEMIC, the subject appears to hold a fairly "normal" lecturer/professor role, isn't a named chair or dean or whatever, doesn't appear to be an elected member of a particularly notable scholarly society, and has the same Google Scholar "cited by" stats we might expect for any other working academic/researcher.

It was used by a few other schools, but not researched or written about in secondary sources, with the one exception of a BBC 2 documentary [160] which is a good source, although the programme was generally about schools (part of a series) and this just happened to be used in one of them. It raised some local controversy in schools that used the system, so there are a couple of news reports, but the reporting would fall foul of WP:PRIMARYNEWS. The article itself is full of WP:OR, but the question is not whether the article will do, but rather whether these (or other sources I have been unable to find) would give us multiple secondary sources from which we could write an encyclopaedic article about the system.

The notability claim here is that he serves as a local authority councillor in the City of London Corporation -- but that's the Square Mile, not London in its sprawling entirety, so he isn't entitled to the same automatic presumption of notability that a member of the London Assembly would get, and would have to show really solid WP:GNG-worthy sourcing to establish passage of NPOL #2. But five of the six footnotes here are primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and the only one that does come from a GNG-worthy source just briefly namechecks his existence as a provider of soundbite in an article about something other than himself, so it can't singlehandedly get him over the bar all by itself if it's the article's only reliable source. As always, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody more knowledgeable about British local politics than I am can find solidly reliable sourcing to improve it with, but he isn't automatically entitled to an article just for existing as a local authority councillor, and primary sourcing doesn't cut it.

Although it was Liverpool's biggest win against Manchester United, it's not an overall club record win, and I'm not sure we need to memorialise any club's biggest ever defeat. The fact that Mohamed Salah also set a club record for Premier League goals is also not really something that needs a whole article about it. The result had no impact on the destination of the Premier League title, since Liverpool finished in fifth and Manchester United finished in third, significanly behind winners Manchester City. The "Aftermath" section of the article also fails to hit home the long-term impact of the match. It was a big result between two rivals, but it's had very little lasting coverage due to the limited scope of the match's impact. – PeeJay 15:28, 9 May 2025 (UTC)) |

2025-05-18 | List of princesses of Britain (before 1917) | AfD (0 k, 2 d) (There are several problems with this article. First, the entries after 1714 largely duplicate those in British_princess#List_of_princesses_of_the_blood_royal_since_1714 and British_princess#List_of_princesses_by_marriage_since_1714. Second, as British_princess#History notes, the title "princess" was used sparingly before 1714 and even more so before 1301. That makes some of the earlier entries anachronistic - the creating editor seems to be applying a more modern rule to members of the medieval royal family that is not supported by sources (for example Weir, Alison (1996). Britains's royal families : the complete genealogy. Internet Archive. London : Pimlico. ISBN 978-0-7126-7448-5.{{cite book}} : CS1 maint: publisher location (link) which is referenced a lot). Third, a number of entries in the list are referenced to absurd sources, leading me to suspect that an LLM has been used to help generate this article, hallucinating references in the processs.

None offers the significant, independent, secondary coverage that policy requires. A thorough news‑database and web search turned up nothing beyond routine funding announcements and product‑launch snippets, which are explicitly classed as WP:ROUTINE and thus insufficient for notability.

The term and category of chresmatistics is totally inessential to understanding Aristotle's views concerning which ways of acquiring wealth are legitimate and which illegitimate, or any other philosopher's views. And though the article may point out some real parallels between the criticism Marx and others made of capitalism, I don't think this very obscure Greek word has any real significance, and that any valuable content on this page should be merged to more frequently read general articles concerning philosophical critiques of capitalism, ancient ideas about economics, or into the articles of specific philosophers who developed Aristotle's ideas. Even then, I think that that material would be appropriate only if the later philosopher made this distinction between money-making and house-management a central element of their position.

It was invented at Henbury school, Bristol (now Blaise High School) which page does not mention it. It was used by a few other schools, but not researched or written about in secondary sources, with the one exception of a BBC 2 documentary [194] which is a good source, although the programme was generally about schools (part of a series) and this just happened to be used in one of them. It raised some local controversy in schools that used the system, so there are a couple of news reports, but the reporting would fall foul of WP:PRIMARYNEWS. The article itself is full of WP:OR, but the question is not whether the article will do, but rather whether these (or other sources I have been unable to find) would give us multiple secondary sources from which we could write an encyclopaedic article about the system.

2025-05-18 | List of princesses of Britain (before 1917) | AfD (0 k, 2 d) (There are several problems with this article. First, the entries after 1714 largely duplicate those in British_princess#List_of_princesses_of_the_blood_royal_since_1714 and British_princess#List_of_princesses_by_marriage_since_1714. Second, as British_princess#History notes, the title "princess" was used sparingly before 1714 and even more so before 1301. That makes some of the earlier entries anachronistic - the creating editor seems to be applying a more modern rule to members of the medieval royal family that is not supported by sources (for example Weir, Alison (1996). Britains's royal families : the complete genealogy. Internet Archive. London : Pimlico. ISBN 978-0-7126-7448-5.{{cite book}} : CS1 maint: publisher location (link) which is referenced a lot). Third, a number of entries in the list are referenced to absurd sources, leading me to suspect that an LLM has been used to help generate this article, hallucinating references in the processs. For example:
Taking all that into account, I suggest that the article has no place in mainspace. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 05:46, 18 May 2025 (UTC)) |

As always, while we permit articles about future elections at the federal level to exist practically as soon as the public finish voting in the previous one, that's because there's actually substantive stuff to say about them: public polling on the popularity of the incumbent government, tracking changes in party leadership and seat standings, content about political issues, and on and so forth. But we don't generally maintain articles about city council elections this far in advance, because at the city council level all there is to actually say is idle speculation about who might or might not run, and that's all that's present here. The article, further, is not adequately referenced to show that this is already the subject of any significant coverage as of May 2025 -- three of the six footnotes are primary sources that are not support for notability at all, and two more are from a hyperlocal community blog that doesn't count as a WP:GNG-worthy source at all (but were misrepresented in the citations as coming from a different publication than they really did, until I corrected them). Just one article comes from a real GNG-worthy newspaper at all, which is not enough all by itself. It also warrants note that even Toronto doesn't have an article already in place about its 2026 municipal election yet, and Hamilton's hardly qualifies as more notable than Toronto's. Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the spring or summer of 2026, when there actually starts to be meaningful stuff to say and real candidates filing their nomination papers, but we don't need this to already have a Wikipedia article in 2025.

What little there is for reliable coverage comes almost entirely from limited-circulation tech industry trade publications rather than general market media, except for a single article in an alt-weekly which isn't enough to vault the company over GNG all by itself. It also warrants note that the creator moved it into articlespace themselves without a proper WP:AFC review, even though their edit history suggests a possible (but not certain) conflict of interest (i.e. their very first edit was to post a Requested Articles request for an article about this very company, before immediately proceeding to draft and move it themselves a week later.)

However, on close inspection, most of these are to The Debrief, which is unambiguously non-RS. Its editor-in-chief is Micah Hanks (who also reports on Sasquatch, [252] wrote the foreword to a "non-fiction" book on monsters that purportedly live in South Carolina [253], wrote a book about something called "ghost rockets" [254], and used to host a podcast about ghosts and ESP) The other contributors of this site come from a similar pedigree. Additional sources are WP:ROUTINE (e.g. an event listing at the San Francisco Standard [255]) or are purely incidental mentions, such as organization officers being quoted by title in stories. ) |

Even ignoring the WP:UPE/WP:SOCKing behaviours associated with article's creation (kinda hard to do TBH), my own WP:BEFORE hasn't surfaced sufficient independent sources to support the text of this title (even basics like DOB, POB, etc are unsupported). Not to mind a claim to notability. In terms of WP:GNG, all the biographical sources in the title are either clearly associated with the subject (including two biographical entries from websites associated with the subjects employer, and one interview which doesn't contribute to notability) or ROTM press reporting on a short-lived legal dispute (between the subject and his employer?). A WP:BEFORE search, in national news sources in Ireland, do not return any additional coverage. In short: in the Irish Independent stable of national and regional titles we find a passing mention of the legal case (and nothing else but false positives). On RTÉ news sites we find nothing for variants of subject name. Same goes for Irish Examiner - nothing for either variant.. In the Irish Times the only mentions I can find are the same two sources we find in the article. Nothing more for either variant. While I will admit to not being as familiar with how to apply WP:NACADEMIC, the subject appears to hold a fairly "normal" lecturer/professor role, isn't a named chair or dean or whatever, doesn't appear to be an elected member of a particularly notable scholarly society, and has the same Google Scholar "cited by" stats we might expect for any other working academic/researcher.

"XBRLS doesn't have much notability and jus[sic] a few links because XBRLS is a brand new, only a few months old." XBRLS was an idea that never gained any traction, and it's inclusion as a separate page is inconsistent with other XBRL-related developments that are mentioned on the main XBRL page. For example, Inline XBRL is used for millions of company reports every year, including UK tax filings, filings for listed EU companies (under ESEF), and filings to the US SEC, Japan FSA, and South African CIPC, and yet is covered in a section on the main XBRL page. The only relevant first-page hits for a Google search for XBRLS are the wikipedia page, and an article written by the authors of XBRLS. XBRLS was not an official XBRL Standard, and its inclusion as a separate page is likely to cause confusion to readers. Pdwxbrl (talk) 11:41, 13 May 2025 (UTC)) |

I was going to remove all of the material that's cited to NINDS because it may not be accurate to toxic encephalopathy, but at that point it would be leaving the article as mostly uncited or cited to unreliable sources.

According to that text, paradigm classification is not a subset of faceted classification. That is not accurate, according to Denton´s blog. The term can also be used in the sense of classification of paradigms, which is how it used in the Ahlberg paper. So, paradigm classification is not widely used and it is used in different senses.

"XBRLS doesn't have much notability and jus[sic] a few links because XBRLS is a brand new, only a few months old." XBRLS was an idea that never gained any traction, and it's inclusion as a separate page is inconsistent with other XBRL-related developments that are mentioned on the main XBRL page. For example, Inline XBRL is used for millions of company reports every year, including UK tax filings, filings for listed EU companies (under ESEF), and filings to the US SEC, Japan FSA, and South African CIPC, and yet is covered in a section on the main XBRL page. The only relevant first-page hits for a Google search for XBRLS are the wikipedia page, and an article written by the authors of XBRLS. XBRLS was not an official XBRL Standard, and its inclusion as a separate page is likely to cause confusion to readers. Pdwxbrl (talk) 11:41, 13 May 2025 (UTC)) |

I've put some through PROD, but some have been dePRODed in 2008, 2010 & 2013 (22, 24 & 25). This one (20th) went to AfD in 2007.

2025-05-14 | Jeringonza (Spanish secret language game) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (I don't feel very strongly about this one, however it was noted in the recent RM discussion (which I closed) that this article lacks sufficient reliable sources to pass WP:GNG. Unfortunately a check of the other two wikis this is on demonstrates a lack of overall sourcing for this topic. This could be deleted, or alternatively redirected to a related topic such as Pig Latin, which seems fairly similar. On the off chance the sourcing is improved while this is listed here, we can always have another RM to discuss the spelling, as it will be relevant at that point. ASUKITE 16:13, 14 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-14 | Mister Model International (International male beauty pageant competition) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (Fails WP:GNG. WP:BEFORE found some media about individual contestants like Inquirer (Philippines) but nothing substantial about the pageant itself. Existing sources are entirely fansites like fernandomachado.blog.br, "Misterology", "The Great Pageant Community", and "Indian and World Pageant" (defunct Wordpress blog, see author's "about me" page); and a non-independent brochure which is found at Internet Archive. ☆ Bri (talk) 19:13, 14 May 2025 (UTC)) |
2025-05-14 | Short break | AfD (2 k, 3 d) (I have been looking for sources to designate and identify this phrase as a standalone encyclopedic subject, and I'm not finding anything. Any subject this phrase could refer to is mentioned at Break, but the inclusion of the word "short" in the title disqualifies this title from being redirected there per WP:PTM. Also, Wiktionary:short break exists. Either way, as an encyclopedic subject, there seems to be a lack of information to define it in such a notable fashion.

2025-05-15 | Pre-Finno-Ugric substrate (Category of words in some Uralic languages) | AfD (1 k, 0 d) (This is a bit of a difficult one. This page covers perhaps four separate topics - the Paleo-Laplandic Saami substrate (which to a lesser extent also occurs in Finnic), the substrate in the Finno-Permic languages (which here is misleadingly described as the Finno-Volgaic substrate even though it also occurs in Permic), the issue of toponyms in Finland, and the substrate in the Nganasan language. Combining these substrates into a single topic of "Pre-Finno-Ugric substrate" is not notable, but the topics individually may have some notability. The Paleo-Laplandic languages topic already has its own article, and the information about the Finno-Permic substrate should probably go to the article about Finno-Permic languages. Toponyms in Finland could maybe get its own article, and the discussion about the Nganasan language can just go to the language's article. Stockhausenfan (talk) 08:39, 15 May 2025 (UTC)) |
