| 2025-05-21 | Chocolate crinkle (Chocolate cookie) | AfD (0 k, 0 d) (I came across this page yesterday refbombed with recipe blogs. I looked for better sources to replace them and could only find two sources with sigcov: Metroscene mag and Field Guide to Cookies. I've since looked closer at Metroscene Mag and see they identify as a blog, leaving only one source contributing to GNG. ATDs: (1) Redirect to Filipino cuisine where they are mentioned. An expansion would give undue weight, they do not appear particularly important to Filipino cuisine. (2) Merge to Filipino-American cuisine: I disapprove of this. The article is currently scoped to Filipino food in America (i.e. food of Filipino Americans) and would be out of scope. (3) Redirect to list of cookies: Oppose a merge as the criteria for inclusion is implicitly "meets GNG". Rollinginhisgrave (talk | contributions) 05:21, 21 May 2025 (UTC)) |

The article should be moved to draftspace as this is a niche topic and sources may be found if given time. I went searching and couldn't find any independent sources.

| 2025-05-25 | Mornflake | AfD (1 k, 2 d) (Delete – The article reads more like a promotional piece than an encyclopedic entry. It provides minimal historical or critical context and instead focuses on listing products in a commercial tone. The references cited are either passing mentions or are not independent and reliable secondary sources with significant coverage of the subject. There is no evidence that Mornflake has received substantial attention in independent publications to meet WP:GNG or WP:CORP. In its current form, the article fails to justify its inclusion on Wikipedia. Unless substantial independent sourcing is found, deletion is appropriate.) |

Most of the sources are WP:PRIMARY, and several are outright impossible to find. Mostly consists of passing mentions and lack of WP:SIGCOV. Madeleine (talk) 22:00, 20 May 2025 (UTC)) |
| 2025-05-20 | Nous Research (AI development company) | AfD (1 k, 1 d) (non-notable company that apparently has a lot of money. everything is interviews or press releases. maybe too soon, maybe just never notable. but either way, it's not notable as it stands. COOLIDICAE🕶 22:21, 20 May 2025 (UTC)) |
| 2025-05-20 | Anthony Pompliano (Media personality and investor) | AfD (1 k, 1 d) (This new promotional draft consists entirely of routine business news and personal interviews. The NY Post and TechCrunch links are obviously interviews, both saying in their voices what the subject wants them to say about him. The Forbes.sites source is a blog, the Bloomberg source is entirely about routine funding, and the WSJ article is about a complaint the subject made about a former employer eight years ago. None of these seem to meet what I would normally consider direct detailing of a biographical subject from reliable independent sources. The page creator has lately arrived on Wikipedia and each of their page creations seem to be badly sourced drafts about crypto subjects. I am sometimes wrong, but this set of edits looks much like undeclared paid editing to this reviewer. I was inclined to tag as A7, but IMHO the big name sources WSJ and Bloomberg deserve a fuller discussion (though neither detail). I can't determine from found or applied sources how this particular subject is more noteworthy than any of the tens of thousands of other aspiring crypto-entrepreneurs out there.

| 2025-05-21 | Baby Gronk (American youth football player (born 2012)) | AfD (0 k, 3 d) (As a biography of a minor-- and especially one who has been involved in social media controversy-- we need to be especially stringent with the sources we use and the information we include. (WP:BLP, WP:BLPPRIVACY, WP:BLPMINOR). The subject's most consistent coverage outside of sports blogs and such (which we don't consider reliable sources) isn't solely focused on him; it mostly concerns his father or his interactions with Livvy Dunne and Rob Gronkowski's interactions with him. This causes the article to fail WP:NOTNEWS; the most coverage the subject has gotten was from a few reliable sources over summer 2023. Since then, it's been mostly local news sources, press releases about apparently joking university commitments, and social media geared sites we don't consider when discussing notability (Bleacher Report, etc.) Maybe this kid will be more notable in the future-- but Wikipedia is not a WP:CRYSTALBALL. If/when reliable sources cover the subject in more detail, a better article can be written on him. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 22:10, 21 May 2025 (UTC)) |

Tagged for WP:COI since November 2019, and "promotional tone" since January 2020, it's time to do a deep dig into this puff piece. References are PR pieces, announcements and churnalism.

It is clear from one of the references ("Marketing, Branding & Public Relations Fast-Track Cyber Security Start-up") that he has spent a lot of work on his marketing and this has generated a lot of press releases and interviews used in this article, but there's nothing here that I consider to be in-depth, independent coverage about the man himself. He has written a book, published about 6 months ago, but it hasn't garnered a single review on Amazon. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 16:48, 22 May 2025 (UTC)) |

The article also leans promotional in tone, with excessive detail on YouTube milestones and trivial career facts, which goes against WP:NOT and WP:BLP. Being internet famous is not inherently equivalent to being notable by Wiki. BharatGanguly (talk) 08:22, 23 May 2025 (UTC)) |

| 2025-05-25 | Steve AJ Broad (Game writer) | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (Non-notable biography of a developer. The 'biography' is constructed mostly from stringing together primary sources being the database entries of the developer's games. There isn't as I see it much reliable secondary information or coverage provided on who this developer is, what their background is, and much beyond that their name is attached to these titles. One exception is the mention of a Retro Gamer interview that is WP:OFFLINE. Even if the developer's body of work had significant coverage - which it doesn't - the article unfortunately contradicts the general principle that notability for one topic is not generally inherited from the notability of its subtopics - there's just not enough about Broad himself here to warrant an article.

| 2025-05-25 | To Pixelia (2025 video game) | AfD (0 k, 3 d) (Unfortunately a non-notable game. Sourcing is just not there for a recently-released game and is mostly drawing from the Steam page. The cited Metacritic page is empty. The Reception section has a paragraph dragging out a non-RS review from GamerBlurb and significant attention to the Steam reviews which is not encyclopedic.

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)) |

It was "improved" with other sources, but when the first source gives a 404 ([1]), as does the WSJ one[2], and I see a source like this one, I don't think it is worth keeping the article or the editor involved (note both the names of the writers and the ISBN):
Smith, John; Doe, Jane (2023). "Key Players in Virtual Event Platforms". The Evolution of Event Technology. Tech Press. pp. 112–115. ISBN 978-0123456789. And then we have actual, working sources that don't even mention VFairs[3] Fram (talk) 07:58, 26 May 2025 (UTC)) |

| 2025-05-26 | Perennial sources list (List of source ratings on Wikipedia) | AfD (4 k, 0 d) (Note: This is not about deleting the non-article page Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources which has nearly the same name as the article about it, To lessen confusion I will refer to the non-article page as WP:RSP.
WP:CIRC is unfixably violated. The policy is "Also, do not use websites mirroring Wikipedia content or publications relying on material from Wikipedia as sources." -- and of course any publication that is quoting WP:RSP or WP:RSN is doing exactly that. We must look at "An exception is allowed when Wikipedia itself is being discussed in the article." which arguably includes WP:RSP (though it's just an essay-class page not Wikipedia itself); however, in that case WP:CIRC says the sources must be considered primary sources and WP:PRIMARY says "Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them." Wikipedia:Notability is not as clear as it might appear. I see cited articles with little or no mention of WP:RSP, for example this Jewish Journal article doesn't mention it, this Slate article doesn't mention it, this USA Today article vaguely mentions a "list" without naming it, this CNBC article was written in 2017 before WP:RSP came into existence in 2018, this wired article has a sentence with a link to it but thinks it's a "guide to sources". To some extent this happens because much (or in my opinion "most") of the article is not about WP:RSP but about WP:RSN discussions. So a count of cites and subtopics would be deceptive, although I'm admitting there are several that indeed mention WP:RSP. WP:SOAPBOX is inevitable. A glance at the history pages will show that some contributors have also contributed to WP:RSP, and a glance at the article will show it contains hurrah wording like "community-maintained", "significant news coverage", without direct links to criticisms of the WP:RSN rulings even when talking about them (for example "Though the Daily Mail strongly contested this decision" does not and can not cite the Daily Mail without violating policy) (for example "the list was criticized by American conservative group Media Research Center" does not cite Media Research Center which is listed as generally unreliable on WP:RSP). I will not object if the article's defenders canvass by posting to places related to WP:RSP, but hope any closer will be 100% uninvolved. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 19:24, 26 May 2025 (UTC)) |

Otteskov - consensus appears to be that ambassadors are not inherently notable. As for WP:GNG - Most of the sourcing is either non-independent or just mentions subject (i.e. does not cover her in any depth). There are 3 sources that don't appear to mention her at all. I have decent access to Scandinavian papers and speak Swedish so I also looked for any possible WP:SIGCOV there and was not able to find anything besides one mention. The Kenyan award she received, Burning Spear, does not appear to be exceptionally prestigious (she received the third class variety of the second tier order overall, alongside almost 200 ppl) so I'm doubtful if it could confer inherent notability on its own.

| 2025-05-20 | Richard Hunt (editor) (British activist) | AfD (1 k, 0 d) (1 relist) (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.

This likely AI-generated biography appears to have hallucinated some facts, for example saying that he was editor of the journal Forum: A Journal of Applied Research in Contemporary Politics, the sole source for which is a permanent dead link. Martinez's own CV does not list this editorship, nor does the journal's website. Since we cannot verify that he was a journal editor, he meets no other criteria of WP:NACADEMIC; his H-index of 22 is well below the normal range for a full professor in social sciences. He does not pass WP:NAUTHOR since his edited books have not had multiple reviews (and there is no consensus on whether co-editing a book counts for NAUTHOR). He doesn't pass WP:ANYBIO#1 for his Fulbright, 800+ of which are awarded every year, so it's not a particularly distinct honor. I don't see evidence that he's quoted regularly on his expertise in the mainstream press. (The AI appears to have hallucinated a nonexistent link to the New York Times website.) The citation for the sentence These books, reviewed in *Palgrave Macmillan* for their interdisciplinary approach, have been cited in *American Political Science Review* and *Political Psychology* for advancing survey measurement of ambivalence.does not actually mention Martinez' books at all and is likely another hallucination based on keyword similarity.

Candidates are not inherently notable or inherently generic. I see nothing about his 2025 candidacy or his 2024 almost candidacies that would meet any sort of ten year test of significance. Senior advisor is a vague title and one that almost certainly does not apply to Martin. He does not show up on Legistorm, or in any FEC disbursements, and Houston Landing describes him as a former intern in October 2023.
The only other area I want to preemptively address is the sources in the article mention that he has a presence on TikTok. WP:ENTERTAINER lays out that either 1) the person has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions; or 2) the person has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. The first one is not relevant. The second one I do not feel he meets. Numerous people confront and/or make fun of MAGA. There is nothing about the content or having 275,000 followers with 20,000 views per week (per a citation in the article) that meets #2. Yes, there was a keep vote on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kat Abughazaleh, but that sourcing was beyond the mere existence of her social media following (which is larger than Martin's) and her candidacy.

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.

The Time source does not feature him as the topic of discussion, The Pink News source simply mentioned that he was one of the attendees but does not state that he organized the protest, The Bloomberg source does not exist, The Out magazine source was written by them (Blaise); which leads that this article could have been created and edited by Matthew Blaise. "In 2020, they were a winner of The Future Awards Africa "Prize for Leading Conversations" but the source does not mention him winning any award of the sort. Also, the page receives very little traffic. If this person is an actual activist, there should be more focus on what they actually changed in the course of history and human rights.

As always, artists are not "inherently" notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on third-party coverage and analysis about them, but this is still based mostly on the exact same primary sources as the first time -- gallery shows sourced to the self-published websites of the galleries that held them rather than GNG-worthy coverage about the shows, a piece about her life and death written by her own daughter, and on and so forth. The very few new sources that have been added still aren't reliable or GNG-worthy either, however: there's a PDF copy of a book that apparently has one of her drawings in it, where we would need to see media reporting "Agnes Gallus drawing selected for inclusion in book" as a news story to deem her notable for that, and there's her paid-inclusion obituary in the newspaper classifieds. There's still nothing here that would be "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to pass GNG on much, much better sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 19:53, 20 May 2025 (UTC)) |

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.

The Forbes.sites source is a blog, the Bloomberg source is entirely about routine funding, and the WSJ article is about a complaint the subject made about a former employer eight years ago. None of these seem to meet what I would normally consider direct detailing of a biographical subject from reliable independent sources. The page creator has lately arrived on Wikipedia and each of their page creations seem to be badly sourced drafts about crypto subjects. I am sometimes wrong, but this set of edits looks much like undeclared paid editing to this reviewer. I was inclined to tag as A7, but IMHO the big name sources WSJ and Bloomberg deserve a fuller discussion (though neither detail).

Not to mention there are factual errors, like claiming James Gandolfini had a role in Bullets Over Broadway.
Also, in general, there are not really many actors in The Sopranos and Goodfellas whose roles are both interesting. Do we really need a list that says "Gaetano LoGiudice" played "Member of Hill's sixties crew" in Goodfellas and "Bada Bing! customer" in Sopranos?

Further, the only attempt at anything more than "actor who exists" here is that she received a short film acting nomination for a regional film and television award, which would be fine if the article were properly sourced but is not nationally or internationally prominent enough to confer an automatic notability freebie on an otherwise unsourced article.

They also seem to have been nominated and deleted previously, and judging from the nomination that time, there doesnt seem to much of an improvement this time around. No charting album, not on a notable label, no inclusion in any big publication. In fact most of their 'press' seems to just come from underground metal online tabloids like Metal Injection and MetalSucks, like many others of this bands size.

There is a single artist out there, Kevens, who describes his own influences as including both reggae and EDM ([83], [84]).

There are no reliable, independent, secondary sources that provide WP:SIGCOV of this topic as a subgenre and thus fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. The remaining sources describe music as drawing from both genres without describing it as a new genre ([89] [90]), or they talk only about reggae ([91] [92] [93] [94] [95] [96] [97] [98] [99] [100] [101]) or only about EDM ([102], [103]), or mention both but don't draw any connection ([104] [105]). Other sources are unusable because they are self-published blogs ([106] [107]), non-independent ([108], or are social media posts ([109]).

"Gladly" barely made into the top 100 of the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in 1999 and "Fly Away with Me" supposedly charted on the Adult R&B Songs chart but they have no other charting entries. They do not have two or more musical releases on a major record label.

WP:CIRC is unfixably violated. The policy is "Also, do not use websites mirroring Wikipedia content or publications relying on material from Wikipedia as sources." -- and of course any publication that is quoting WP:RSP or WP:RSN is doing exactly that. We must look at "An exception is allowed when Wikipedia itself is being discussed in the article." which arguably includes WP:RSP (though it's just an essay-class page not Wikipedia itself); however, in that case WP:CIRC says the sources must be considered primary sources and WP:PRIMARY says "Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them." Wikipedia:Notability is not as clear as it might appear. I see cited articles with little or no mention of WP:RSP, for example this Jewish Journal article doesn't mention it, this Slate article doesn't mention it, this USA Today article vaguely mentions a "list" without naming it, this CNBC article was written in 2017 before WP:RSP came into existence in 2018, this wired article has a sentence with a link to it but thinks it's a "guide to sources". To some extent this happens because much (or in my opinion "most") of the article is not about WP:RSP but about WP:RSN discussions. So a count of cites and subtopics would be deceptive, although I'm admitting there are several that indeed mention WP:RSP. WP:SOAPBOX is inevitable. A glance at the history pages will show that some contributors have also contributed to WP:RSP, and a glance at the article will show it contains hurrah wording like "community-maintained", "significant news coverage", without direct links to criticisms of the WP:RSN rulings even when talking about them (for example "Though the Daily Mail strongly contested this decision" does not and can not cite the Daily Mail without violating policy) (for example "the list was criticized by American conservative group Media Research Center" does not cite Media Research Center which is listed as generally unreliable on WP:RSP). I will not object if the article's defenders canvass by posting to places related to WP:RSP, but hope any closer will be 100% uninvolved. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 19:24, 26 May 2025 (UTC)) |

The 'biography' is constructed mostly from stringing together primary sources being the database entries of the developer's games. There isn't as I see it much reliable secondary information or coverage provided on who this developer is, what their background is, and much beyond that their name is attached to these titles. One exception is the mention of a Retro Gamer interview that is WP:OFFLINE. Even if the developer's body of work had significant coverage - which it doesn't - the article unfortunately contradicts the general principle that notability for one topic is not generally inherited from the notability of its subtopics - there's just not enough about Broad himself here to warrant an article.

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.

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.

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.

It is a historic and still active asylum started in the 1870s; the main building is a classic of period architecture. It also appears as a rail spot because there was a branch which presumably supplied the heating facilities with coal.

Other than that I get nothing; two county histories mention the Baptist church, but it's off to the west at the county line, as is the Methodist church's cemetery.

I have decent access to Scandinavian papers and speak Swedish so I also looked for any possible WP:SIGCOV there and was not able to find anything besides one mention. The Kenyan award she received, Burning Spear, does not appear to be exceptionally prestigious (she received the third class variety of the second tier order overall, alongside almost 200 ppl) so I'm doubtful if it could confer inherent notability on its own.

Candidates are not inherently notable or inherently generic. I see nothing about his 2025 candidacy or his 2024 almost candidacies that would meet any sort of ten year test of significance. Senior advisor is a vague title and one that almost certainly does not apply to Martin. He does not show up on Legistorm, or in any FEC disbursements, and Houston Landing describes him as a former intern in October 2023.
The only other area I want to preemptively address is the sources in the article mention that he has a presence on TikTok. WP:ENTERTAINER lays out that either 1) the person has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions; or 2) the person has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. The first one is not relevant. The second one I do not feel he meets. Numerous people confront and/or make fun of MAGA. There is nothing about the content or having 275,000 followers with 20,000 views per week (per a citation in the article) that meets #2. Yes, there was a keep vote on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kat Abughazaleh, but that sourcing was beyond the mere existence of her social media following (which is larger than Martin's) and her candidacy. This page should be deleted due to some combination of WP:TOOSOON, WP:BLP1E, WP:NOPAGE, and not meeting WP:GNG. I am agnostic as to a redirect to 2025 Texas's 18th congressional district special election.

Further, the only attempt at anything more than "actor who exists" here is that she received a short film acting nomination for a regional film and television award, which would be fine if the article were properly sourced but is not nationally or internationally prominent enough to confer an automatic notability freebie on an otherwise unsourced article.

I don't see the argument for notability here. He doesn't seem to have gotten any in-depth news coverage of him as a person, even within Buffalo. There does seem to be a lot of coverage of the group he founded, Buffalo ReUse, so maybe that group could have a page, but not Gainer himself.

As always, artists are not "inherently" notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on third-party coverage and analysis about them, but this is still based mostly on the exact same primary sources as the first time -- gallery shows sourced to the self-published websites of the galleries that held them rather than GNG-worthy coverage about the shows, a piece about her life and death written by her own daughter, and on and so forth. The very few new sources that have been added still aren't reliable or GNG-worthy either, however: there's a PDF copy of a book that apparently has one of her drawings in it, where we would need to see media reporting "Agnes Gallus drawing selected for inclusion in book" as a news story to deem her notable for that, and there's her paid-inclusion obituary in the newspaper classifieds. There's still nothing here that would be "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to pass GNG on much, much better sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 19:53, 20 May 2025 (UTC)) |

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.

A search on Google does not yield any evidence of established endonymic usage of the term second lady of India (which is not merely a substitute for vice president wife). Searching "Uprashtrapati Bhawan hostess" also does not yield any quality sources. The role of Second Lady of India (as hostess of the Uparashtrapati Bhavan may not even exist even in unofficial capacity. Or if they do, they don't use the term).

| 2025-05-27 | Automata in the Indian cultural imagination | AfD (0 k, 2 d) (1 relist) (No disrespect to the student editor Meerad247 who created this article for their UChicago Computation, Culture, and Society class, but this article seems built on out-of-scope material and pseudohistory. Its discussion of yantras confuses the term's alternative Sanskrit meaning of machine/contraption as indicating that these geometric diagrams somehow operate as automata. Its discussion of Tholpavakoothu and broader puppetry confuses the field's goal of mimicking life with actual automata. In comparison, the Robot article recognizes Japan's Karakuri puppet as actually mechanized, while the History of robots article recognizes Hero of Alexandria's creation of a mechanical puppet theater.
The extended claim that the Lokapannati legend describes robots guarding the Buddha's tomb, only for Ashoka to defeat them is troubling pseudohistory. The claim is sourced to an article from The Conversation, which in turn cites a 1901 article that makes no mention of such robots (JSTOR link). Given that Mayor's article refers to greater coverage in her 2018 book Gods and Robots, I did further digging. When she presents the story there, it is cited to Raimon Panikkar's 1984 article "The Destiny of Technological Civilization: An Ancient Buddhist Legend Romavisaya" which opens by warning "I shall offer an interpretation of this story which the medievals might have called allegorico-anagogical: I shall consider this text of the past in the context of the present. I shall not make this paper heavy with footnotes or with hermeneutical 'praenotanda' to justify this interpretation." Scholarly recognition that Panikkar's article is WP:PSEUDOSCIENCE includes the 2017 book chapter "Panikkar's Quest for an Alternative Way of Thinking and Acting," which frames that 1984 article as a fringe attempt to treat technology as a Western advancement that poses future danger. Generally, this article has an awkward title that would be better changed to "Robots in Indian culture" if kept as no other article begins with "Automata in ..." and "Indian cultural imagination" is needlessly wordy.

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.

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 page has been recreated at much greater length but I am not seeing the kind of WP:SIGCOV we need to see. To the extent there is any secondary coverage here, it is either local coverage that is limited to her role as mayor or a mayoral candidate ([198], [199], [200], [201], [202], [203]) or WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS in WP:ROUTINE election coverage ([204], [205]). I am concerned that this article also fails WP:NOT by constituting WP:OR, considering the extensive use of WP:PRIMARYSOURCEs, including official bios or statements ([206], [207], [208], [209], [210], [211], [212], [213]), primary source election results ([214], [215], [216]), and the subject's own Facebook posts ([217], [218], [219]). There is also a high likelihood of WP:SYNTH given the page creator's use of several sources that do not even mention Harding ([220], [221], [222], [223], [224]).

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.

Also, the article itself isn't so well written in general and not particularly well sourced.
Deletion via PROD was contested with the following rationale: consider merge or redirect to "Law of the handicap of a head start" as preferred WP:ATD However, I still feel like this page should be deleted rather than merged/redirected , so I'm starting a deletion discussion. The reasons why I disagree with the proposed merge are: - "Law of the handicap of a head start" is not the same concept as gridlock, even though they share similarities - The current article is poorly written and undersourced, so there isn't much material to salvage anyway 7804j (talk) 19:05, 20 May 2025 (UTC)) |

In any case ,the underlying issue has gone unresolved. I conducted a truncated WP:BEFORE consisting exclusively of a Google News search (because, given the subject, it's obviously not going to appear in any journal or book). This search found pages upon pages of references to this outfit which might incline the casual observer to presume it passes WP:N. 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, [230] wrote the foreword to a "non-fiction" book on monsters that purportedly live in South Carolina [231], wrote a book about something called "ghost rockets" [232], 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 [233]) or are purely incidental mentions, such as organization officers being quoted by title in stories. ) |

The page subject, however, is a zero-tolerance behaviour policy for schools including a one page template document describing it. 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 [234] 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. Many schools have such systems, and personally I doubt there is anything notable about this one. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 20:39, 12 May 2025 (UTC)) |

This likely AI-generated biography appears to have hallucinated some facts, for example saying that he was editor of the journal Forum: A Journal of Applied Research in Contemporary Politics, the sole source for which is a permanent dead link. Martinez's own CV does not list this editorship, nor does the journal's website. Since we cannot verify that he was a journal editor, he meets no other criteria of WP:NACADEMIC; his H-index of 22 is well below the normal range for a full professor in social sciences. He does not pass WP:NAUTHOR since his edited books have not had multiple reviews (and there is no consensus on whether co-editing a book counts for NAUTHOR). He doesn't pass WP:ANYBIO#1 for his Fulbright, 800+ of which are awarded every year, so it's not a particularly distinct honor. I don't see evidence that he's quoted regularly on his expertise in the mainstream press. (The AI appears to have hallucinated a nonexistent link to the New York Times website.) The citation for the sentence These books, reviewed in *Palgrave Macmillan* for their interdisciplinary approach, have been cited in *American Political Science Review* and *Political Psychology* for advancing survey measurement of ambivalence.does not actually mention Martinez' books at all and is likely another hallucination based on keyword similarity. In addition to failing WP:N, this bio has significant WP:V problems for a BLP and should be deleted. Dclemens1971 (talk) 11:00, 21 May 2025 (UTC)) |

The page has been recreated at much greater length but I am not seeing the kind of WP:SIGCOV we need to see.

| 2025-05-23 | Isaiah Martin (American political activist and congressional candidate) | AfD (0 k, 5 d) (Delete. The article says he is a candidate in a special election and a political advisor. Candidates are not inherently notable or inherently generic. I see nothing about his 2025 candidacy or his 2024 almost candidacies that would meet any sort of ten year test of significance. Senior advisor is a vague title and one that almost certainly does not apply to Martin. He does not show up on Legistorm, or in any FEC disbursements, and Houston Landing describes him as a former intern in October 2023.
The only other area I want to preemptively address is the sources in the article mention that he has a presence on TikTok. WP:ENTERTAINER lays out that either 1) the person has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions; or 2) the person has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. The first one is not relevant. The second one I do not feel he meets. Numerous people confront and/or make fun of MAGA. There is nothing about the content or having 275,000 followers with 20,000 views per week (per a citation in the article) that meets #2. Yes, there was a keep vote on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kat Abughazaleh, but that sourcing was beyond the mere existence of her social media following (which is larger than Martin's) and her candidacy. This page should be deleted due to some combination of WP:TOOSOON, WP:BLP1E, WP:NOPAGE, and not meeting WP:GNG. I am agnostic as to a redirect to 2025 Texas's 18th congressional district special election. Also, as I am going to end all of these now that election season is afoot, never forget everyone, an article about you or someone you like isn't necessarily a good thing.

| 2025-05-27 | Gridlock (economics) | AfD (0 k, 1 d) (1 relist) (I had proposed deletion via PROD with the following rationale: While the term of "Gridlock" is widely used, it's not typically used in the way described here. The current article seems to be focused on the concept of first mover disadvantage, which is a niche usage. Even the term "First mover disadvantage" is more commonly used to refer to what this article describes. I couldn't find many search results referring to gridlock in this context. Also, the article itself isn't so well written in general and not particularly well sourced.
Deletion via PROD was contested with the following rationale: consider merge or redirect to "Law of the handicap of a head start" as preferred WP:ATD However, I still feel like this page should be deleted rather than merged/redirected , so I'm starting a deletion discussion. The reasons why I disagree with the proposed merge are: - "Law of the handicap of a head start" is not the same concept as gridlock, even though they share similarities - The current article is poorly written and undersourced, so there isn't much material to salvage anyway 7804j (talk) 19:05, 20 May 2025 (UTC)) |

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.

WP:CIRC is unfixably violated. The policy is "Also, do not use websites mirroring Wikipedia content or publications relying on material from Wikipedia as sources." -- and of course any publication that is quoting WP:RSP or WP:RSN is doing exactly that. We must look at "An exception is allowed when Wikipedia itself is being discussed in the article." which arguably includes WP:RSP (though it's just an essay-class page not Wikipedia itself); however, in that case WP:CIRC says the sources must be considered primary sources and WP:PRIMARY says "Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them." Wikipedia:Notability is not as clear as it might appear. I see cited articles with little or no mention of WP:RSP, for example this Jewish Journal article doesn't mention it, this Slate article doesn't mention it, this USA Today article vaguely mentions a "list" without naming it, this CNBC article was written in 2017 before WP:RSP came into existence in 2018, this wired article has a sentence with a link to it but thinks it's a "guide to sources". To some extent this happens because much (or in my opinion "most") of the article is not about WP:RSP but about WP:RSN discussions. So a count of cites and subtopics would be deceptive, although I'm admitting there are several that indeed mention WP:RSP. WP:SOAPBOX is inevitable. A glance at the history pages will show that some contributors have also contributed to WP:RSP, and a glance at the article will show it contains hurrah wording like "community-maintained", "significant news coverage", without direct links to criticisms of the WP:RSN rulings even when talking about them (for example "Though the Daily Mail strongly contested this decision" does not and can not cite the Daily Mail without violating policy) (for example "the list was criticized by American conservative group Media Research Center" does not cite Media Research Center which is listed as generally unreliable on WP:RSP). I will not object if the article's defenders canvass by posting to places related to WP:RSP, but hope any closer will be 100% uninvolved. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 19:24, 26 May 2025 (UTC)) |

"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)) |

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.
