This is a procedural nomination on behalf of 35.139.154.158 (talk) who requested at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion#AFD request - Terrorist tactics, techniques, and procedures that this article be nominated for deletion. The supplied rationale is:
WP:CFORK of Tactics of terrorism. Collection of this as a distinct topic seems to be due to a single author, C. Flaherty, which not so coincidentally is rather similar to the username of this article's creator and primary contributor.
I am not offering an opinion at this time beyond noting the creator was user:CFlaherty, who has not edited since 2021. Thryduulf (talk) 21:13, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

The AN/MPN-14K is a modified AN/MPN-14 which is fully described in the article AN/MPN. There is a wikilink to the -14K article within the AN/MPN article which is wholly unnecessary since the -14K article does not meet general notability and the -14K article has no citations at all. I recommend the -14K article be deleted (merge unnecessary). — TadgStirkland401 (TadgTalk) 20:26, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Doesn’t seem to meet WP:SIGCOV. 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.) Tried looking for other sources but the only other ones I could find were primary. ApexParagon (talk) 20:24, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

This article is a wp:nor mess. 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.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Spammy bio for a non-notable Nigerian businessperson. The sources are promotional fluff (a visionary leader using technology and sustainable energy solutions to uplift underserved African communities... setting a precedent for innovation and progress across the continent
is par for the course [1], [2]). Other sources are just WP:PRIMARYSOURCES based on the subject's own words about himself ([3], [4], [5]); regurgiated press releases ([6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13]); straight-up sponsored content ([14]); tabloid coverage ([15]);
or his own website ([16]).
His supposed "honorary doctorate" is from an institution that does not appear to grant degrees at all and should not be considered a significant award for purposes of WP:ANYBIO#1. All told, I don't see a WP:GNG or WP:NBIO pass here. Dclemens1971 (talk) 16:13, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

- DankPedia (talk) 18:22, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: While I understand the concerns raised, there are several points worth clarifying:
1. Notability (WP:GNG/WP:NBIO): Vwakpor Efuetanu has received substantial coverage in numerous independent, reliable sources across Nigeria’s top-tier media. Outlets such as Tribune Online, Leadership, The Nation, The Guardian Nigeria, and Vanguard have all published extended profiles or interviews. These publications are not merely blogs or PR reposts; many are mainstream national outlets with editorial oversight.
2. Depth of Coverage: The articles in Tribune and Leadership go beyond passing mentions. For example, this piece discusses Efuetanu’s partnerships with HP, Beats by Dre, and Nexford University, and his AI empowerment efforts in Edo State. These are not trivial activities, and they have received regional and national recognition.
3. Independence of Sources: While some sources may contain promotional language (as is common in coverage of entrepreneurs), this does not invalidate the independence of coverage. Many pieces were written by journalists, not submitted press releases, and they include third-party analysis of impact and reach.
4. Significance of Achievements: The subject’s work in AI education, youth empowerment (over 30,000 trained individuals), and partnerships with state governments (e.g., Edo State Government) show a demonstrable impact in a sector (AI and renewable energy) that is recognized as both emerging and of global relevance. These accomplishments are covered in national outlets, indicating the individual’s notability under WP:NBIO #2 (significant coverage of professional impact).
5. Honorary Degree – While the awarding institution (CIPRMP Ghana) may not be globally ranked, it is commonly cited in Nigerian media, and such honorary recognitions are frequently mentioned in bios of other notable figures. That alone is not the basis for notability, but it is part of the broader picture of public recognition.
6. Primary Sources / Website: The subject’s website is used only as a supplementary source for factual background and not as evidence of notability. The article itself can and should rely primarily on independent secondary sources, which are available and already cited.
I welcome efforts to further improve the article’s neutrality and tone, and agree that removing any promotional language or overly close paraphrasing is essential. However, deletion is not necessary. The subject clearly passes WP:GNG and likely WP:NBIO based on multiple independent, reliable sources with significant coverage.

Article about a hockey player, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for hockey players. The leagues he played in, the American Hockey League and the ECHL, are specifically listed in WP:NHOCKEY as conferring notability only if the player "Achieved preeminent honors (all-time top-10 career scorer, first-team all-star)" -- but there's no claim being made here that he ever achieved any such thing in either league, and he hasn't been shown to pass WP:GNG either as the article is referenced entirely to content self-published by the teams he has played or worked for rather than any evidence of independent coverage in third-party media sources.
The article has, additionally, spent 18 full months with WP:BLP-violating nonsense like "He is currently an ambulance driver in Alberta. He once smiled, but really didn't like it. Chris also had the pleasure of providing the Rebels staff with water in their mouths." in it until I found and poleaxed it just now, which isn't a deletion rationale in and of itself but does speak to how many responsible editors have actually seen the article.

Bingo! In any event, there's never been any iteration of NHOCKEY under which this player, whose career was multiple rungs below top flight, has been considered presumptively notable.

coverage isn't sufficient ... [for a] GNG-based exemption from WP:NHOCKEY
– ?? NHOCKEY is an inclusionary criterion, not an exlusionary one (and a broken one at that -- if you meet NHOCKEY, you may be notable if you pass GNG; if you do not meet NHOCKEY, you may be notable if you pass GNG). The only thing that matters is whether he meets GNG, and national coverage is not necessary for that. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:25, 21 April 2025 (UTC)- There's no such thing as a distinction between "inclusionary" and "exclusionary" SNGs. GNG does not just count up the number of media hits and keep anybody who's surpassed an arbitrary number, without considering the context in which the media hits exist — as I've said more than once, if GNG just concerned itself with the number of sources a person had, and didn't care about whether the context of what the person was getting covered for was actually of any broad or sustained public interest or not, then we would have to keep an article about my mother's former neighbour who once got a blip of media coverage for finding a pig in her front yard. (Hell, if all GNG cared about was the number of media hits that could be found, and didn't measure for whether the context of what those hits existed for passed any notability criteria or not, then I would even be able to claim that I qualified for an article.) So media coverage doesn't just have to hit some arbitrary number of clippings, and also has to verify passage of one or more notability criteria. Bearcat (talk) 18:23, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- The sport-specific sub criteria is just leftover stuff from before WP:NSPORTS2022 that wasn't participation based (all of the participation criteria was removed). None of the individual sport guidelines have been updated with replacement criteria so we're pretty much just left with skeletonized guidelines that offer unhelpful advice like likely to be notable if they've been inducted into the hall of fame. There's isn't even any guidance currently on football, gridiron football, or baseball. In regards to NHOCKEY, the only NHL guidance mentions first-round draft picks, which is obviously too strict given all of the blue links at 2017 NHL entry draft (and there's never been an overabundance of hockey players anyway). ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:58, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

- WP:SIGCOV does not exclude local coverage, and makes no mention of national coverage. Flibirigit (talk) 15:57, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- Local coverage isn't excluded from usability, and I never said it was. But local coverage is not necessarily enough to hand a person a GNG-based exemption from normal inclusion criteria all by itself — unelected candidates are not exempted from NPOL just because they can show a handful of local campaign coverage in the local media of the area where they were running without any evidence of broader significance, actors who don't otherwise pass NACTOR's achievement-based criteria are not exempted from them just because they can show a handful of "local aspiring actor gets first bit part in movie" coverage in their hometown media without any evidence of broader significance, high school and junior league athletes are not exempted from the inclusion criteria for their sport just because they can show a handful of hometown local coverage without any evidence of broader significance, local bands are not exempted from having to pass WP:NMUSIC just because they got a few hits of "local band plays local pub" in their local newspaper without any evidence of broader significance, and on and so forth.
If a person is properly established as passing an SNG on an actual inclusion criterion, then we genuinely don't care whether their sourcing is "local" or "national" — but if a person's coverage isn't establishing passage of any specific inclusion criteria, and instead you're trying to argue that they get over GNG purely on the number of media hits that exist in and of itself, then a local vs. national coverage test does come into play, because lots of people can show some evidence of local coverage in contexts that don't pass encyclopedic standards of permanent international significance. Bearcat (talk) 18:23, 22 April 2025 (UTC)- WP:BLUDGEON and WP:WALLOFTEXT may apply here. Flibirigit (talk) 21:01, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- If the only coverage were a couple of articles from Neiszer's home town of Craik, Saskatchewan stating that he made it to a WHL team, I'd probably agree that he does not meet GNG. But he has much more extensive coverage from Red Deer, Alberta, which is not his home town (or even his home province) plus significant coverage from Las Vegas, Nevada, which is not even his home country. That's not to mention a lot of insignificant coverage in other newspapers in other ciites. So he actually has not only national coverage, but international coverage.

- Note to closer This is due for close or relist today, but I don't see any source review. Could we get a relist to do that properly. My first observation is that 6 of the 7 sources come from the same newspaper, and so these would only count as a single source for purposes of GNG. The links have ot been set up through the Wikipedia library so I will need to do a bit of work to review them, but that is at most one source. The other, the Las Vegas Review, is a report on their return, but is primarily an interview, so the biographical information is not independent, and is primary. I think this needs more work.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Toadspike [Talk] 09:01, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - Source review - Thanks for the relist. I have now looked at the six sources above, and here is my assessment (in conjunction with my earlier comment about the Las Vegas Review source).The following are all from the Red Deer Advocate, a local paper for Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. They are mostly from one staff correspondent. One is from an alternate staff correspondent. The page subject is only associated with the Red Deer Rebels. The Red Deer Advocate is owned by Black Press, but coverage of a player on the local team in a local paper is clearly WP:ROUTINE or of questionable independence. To be notable, the player must surely be noticeable beyond the local paper.
- 1 (Meacham, 2001) Looks like SIGCOV, and secondary. As above, questionable independence.
- 2 - Not SIGCOV.
- 3 (Meacham, 2005) Looks like SIGCOV, and secondary. As above, questionable independence. Additionally information appears to be obtained via interview, and aspects of this are primary reporting.
- 4 (Meacham, 2010) Looks like SIGCOV, and secondary. As above, questionable independence.
- 5 (Rode, 2005) This appears to be a write up of an interview, so the biographical information is not independent.
- 6 (Meacham, 2003) Looks like SIGCOV, and secondary. As above, questionable independence.
- 1 (Meacham, 2001) Looks like SIGCOV, and secondary. As above, questionable independence.
- The six sources count together. While some are excluded, there is SIGCOV here in this local paper about the local team. But can they be used for notability? Certainly not on their own. They provide some useable biographical information, but they do not indicate notability. GNG requires multiple sources in any case. If we had national coverage at this level, we would keep, based on the coverage, but as things stand, if this is all we have, we are not yet at GNG. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 12:16, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- Nothing in our guidelines suggests that coverage by a "local team in a local newspaper" is of "questionable independence" or necessarily routine. And the Las Vegas article (which is not an interview) is not Red Deer, or even Alberta, or even Canada. So there are multiple sources, and not just national coverage but international coverage. Rlendog (talk) 13:23, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Very much disagree with the source review above. The Review-Journal is an ~800 word story on him that is not solely an interview. Sirfurboy seems to be stating that any story that has any quotes or such is automatically non-independent, but that is clearly incorrect and including quotes from closely related people is a feature of almost all good sports reporting. Review-Journal is SIGCOV source 1. Then we've got an avalanche of coverage from the Advocate. "Questionable independence"? No, the paper is not owned by the team or anything like that. Being local does not mean non-independent! And there is no requirement that a subject receives national coverage. The Review-Journal has SIGCOV and then the Advocate has SIGCOV. That's multiple sources with SIGCOV, and that meets GNG. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:54, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- Nearly everything in the Review is indeed from an interview. I missed that 89 words of direct quotation actually come from Glen Gulutzan, his coach, saying:
Other than that, the only material that is not directly from the subject is that he spent last season in France (signed because of his agent), his offense has improved, he scored 23 points in 26 games, and he is reunited with Justin Taylor. This is primarily an interview with a returning player. Where is he returning to? Las Vegas. And this is the Las Vegas Review. What is not interview is news reporting, city wide but local. Again, if we had any national coverage it would be different, but coverage of who is rejoining a local team is routine, match reporting is primary and interview content is not independent. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:31, 7 May 2025 (UTC)Early on he's had some offensive success, but what we can count on him for is the same game every night. That's why he's good for our younger guys. His game doesn't fluctuate every day. It's the same every day.
"He kills penalties, plays in front of the net on the power play and on 5-on-5 he's defensively responsible. We know every night we can rely on him in tough situations. He's just a well-rounded player, and that's how he has to be to get to the next level.
- There's 260 words of coverage of Neiszner that is not from quotes – that's SIGCOV. There is no requirement that the coverage be non-local. Whether you personally judge it to be "routine" because its of a "returning player" is irrelevant. The only thing that matters, aside from it being reliable and independent (which it is), is whether it is in-depth coverage (SIGCOV), which it is. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:47, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- If we're discounting "local" coverage and entire sources because they have some quote material (which is standard sports journalism), then there are a decent amount of NHL players that wouldn't even pass GNG. Would an article on a Philadelphia Flyers player in The Philadelphia Inquirer not count since it's "local"? Only All-Star caliber players and those who have played for 10+ years will have national SIGCOV. I'm not going to "die on the hill" (for lack of a better phrase) for this minor leaguer but I would for an NHL player. Here is an example of a Q&A type interview that wouldn't count towards notability. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 20:06, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- Quotes can be valid coverage, especially if they are not from an interview with the subject. Rlendog (talk) 13:26, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
The general rule is that any statements made by interviewees about themselves, their activities, or anything they are connected to is considered to have come from a primary source.
- see WP:IV. As we want biographical SIGCOV of the player, the quoted information is primary, and cannot be used for SIGCOV. What we can take into account is the question of why the interview happened. Why did a newspaper believe interviewing this subject was important? Does that indicate notability? But that takes us to the occasioning of the sources, and relevant here is that these are coverage of the local team, and this is run of the mill stuff. Look at the 89 words from the coach above: it's just talking about him as a team member. We need something more here. If the subject is notable, someone other than the local paper will have taken note in something other than simple team news reporting. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 14:18, 9 May 2025 (UTC)The general rule is that any statements made by interviewees about themselves, their activities, or anything they are connected to is considered to have come from a primary source.
– correct, which means that the quotes in the article cannot count as coverage of the subject. However, the ~260 words written by the journalist on Neiszner is coverage that counts as SIGCOV. All good sports journalism includes quotes, so you're suggestions that including quotes automatically makes sources primary and unusable would make basically all sports SIGCOV unusable, which is very obviously in error and a ridiculous assertion that I have never before come across in my five years of participation at hundreds of sports AFDs. Once again, whether you personally think this is "local run of the mill stuff" is entirely irrelevant; all that matters is whether there is SIGCOV in reliable sources, which we have here. BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:47, 9 May 2025 (UTC)- I make it 171 words and I already dealt with that above. It tells us that he spent last season in France (signed because of his agent), his offense has improved, he scored 23 points in 26 games, and he is reunited with Justin Taylor. The source is primarily an interview in local press about a returning player. It is routine, and the occasion of the source (that he is a returning player) makes that information primary. Biographical information may be secondary, but there is no independent biographical information to speak of. It is almost entirely not independent. And we routinely treat routine local press more cautiously for notability. You are attempting to make this a black and white, any two sources and it's in. That's not what the policy says. What it actually says is this:
Under the accompanying note it adds "Lack of multiple sources suggests that the topic may be more suitable for inclusion in an article on a broader topic." If we had one national source, I'd accept these take us to multiple sources, but they are simply not enough on their own. Thus, at this stage, my !vote is Delete. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 16:35, 9 May 2025 (UTC)"Sources" should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected.
- Not sure how you get 171, but it is ~260. Per GNG, a topic is notable
when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
It says nothing of "routine local press" being discounted. And I'll add that the Las Vegas Review-Journal is no small-town paper, but a large one, the largest in the state of Nevada. That the source is about a "returning player" is irrelevant; once again, the only thing that matters is if there's SIGCOV. It is not primary, and that there's some quotes in the article does not make it so, for quotes are a feature of all sports journalism. The suggestion that quotes automatically make a source unusable is ridiculous and would result in the deletion of the vast majority of all sports articles. National coverage is not required...

- This looks like wikilawyering around the margins. Look, if you are writing a biography, everything the subject of the biography says about themself is a primary source and not independent of the subject, by definition. That is not just Wikipedia saying so. This is true everywhere, and should be self evident. It is also the policy (as I have shown) and the guidance (as I have shown). What you can seek to do with interviews is demonstrate that the fact of the interview makes a case for notability. That is, the occasion of an interview should be considered. It is not a mechanistic thing, but clearly if someone is being interviewed by a variety of different news outlets, there will be a reason why they are being interviewed. I've argued, in the past, that a subject was likely to be notable based on the range and duration of interview material. But that argument is quite apart from the GNG one. For GNG, interviews are neither independent nor secondary. There is no wiggle room there. They are not. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 14:22, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

- I made the note as your general advice

- None of that changes the fact that the article written by an independent journalist who decided to include the quote (or used information from an interview in their article) is secondary. None of what you have "shown" changes that. And the statement that you quoted is solely in the essay WP:IV, not in any of our guidance or policy. Rlendog (talk) 18:08, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- And your claim that "everything the subject of the biography says about themself is a primary source and not independent of the subject, by definition." But some of the quotes you want to exclude from the Las Vegas article are from the subject's coach, not from the subject. But in any case, the journalist who chose to include those quotes in their article is not the subject and not even related to the subject so it should be self-evident that the article is secondary, even if WP:IV was a guideline or policy.Rlendog (talk) 18:15, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

I've AFD'd this, but actually I think it should be redirected to Wriggler (video game). There doesn't appear to be any independent, reliable sources giving significant coverage to the subject of this article. Sourcing is all tabloid news (The Mirror, The Sun, Metro) or passing mentions. Simply appearing on BGT (and not being recognised...) does not indicate notability. Simply being a bit-part actor in numerous films does not indicate notability. Additionally I have WP:PROMO/WP:COI concerns here.
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. Simply being nominated for a Twitter Shorty Award does not indicate notability.

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Crime, and Oklahoma. Shellwood (talk) 09:44, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- I would very strongly oppose redirecting it there, that is not the kind of list we should be redirecting BLPs.
- If there is better sourcing getting the longest prison sentence of all time is notable enough that it IMO invalidates the second prong of BLP1E. So then WP:NCRIMINAL is also a consideration. The sourcing I can find is not great so honestly he probably just fails the WP:GNG. But he does have an extremely generic name so I may be missing stuff. But unless there is more sourcing I failed to find, delete (Not redirect). PARAKANYAA (talk) 17:56, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

Very few WP:MEDRS, much of it is uncited, and the NINDS article (https://web.archive.org/web/20050720074428/http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/encephalopathy/encephalopathy.htm) that makes up a lot of the cited material in the article is actually not specific to toxic encephalopathy. 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.

Delete. Yes, he does appear to be a crackpot. That might not be sufficient reason for deletion if he had a significant influence on mathematics, but as far as I can see he doesn't. Athel cb (talk) 12:53, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- Compared to other fields, mathematics is much more tolerant of what would normally be labelled "crackpots" - rejecting an established axiom or theory usually means building a contrasting theory, which can be mathematically interesting in its own right. (WP:CRACKPOT's term for this would be "alternative theoretical formulation".) That said, "transreal arithmetic" has absolutely not developed into a theory of any interest to mathematicians, which means I'm more than comfortable applying the label.
- I think a particularly useful point of contrast is inter-universal Teichmüller theory, which also makes dramatic claims that are (in the opinion of many number theorists) not properly substantiated, but remains of significant academic interest for its potential applications. "Transreal arithmetic" has attracted no such attention, and the only one to claim applications is Anderson himself. Fishsicles (talk) 14:28, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

- Delete "Anderson has been trying to market his ideas for transreal arithmetic and "Perspex machines" to investors. He claims that his work can produce computers which run "orders of magnitude faster than today's computers".[7][12] He has also claimed that it can help solve such problems as quantum gravity,[7] the mind-body connection,[13] consciousness[13] and free will.[13]" So, first of all, yes, that could be straight out of Underwood Dudley's book. Second, Anderson made one tiny news/blogosphere splash nearly two decades ago, and there's nothing else to go on.

Page for a defunct centrist faction of the Hong Kong Liberal party. Four citations all to local news that stops with the collapse of this group. Considering they were a minor faction that never really accomplished anything and then folded its unlikely there will be more coverage in the future which means four local newspaper articles is likely what we've got.

- Keep: I think it is clear that the party did fulfil GNG/NORG with those sources and this AFD seems to focus more on whether it deserves a standalone article. The article currently includes four sources from the Hong Kong Economic Times and HK01, both of which are credible media outlets and generally reliable sources on zhwiki (see WP:HKRS#HKET and WP:HKRS#HK01), rather than some small-scale local tabloids. The coverage in this HKET article[20] and this HK01 article[21] appear to be adequately significant to me. The corresponding article on zhwiki also includes a few sources from Initium Media and Citizen News, and I found more news coverage during the party's operational period, such as a Ming Pao article about legal scholar Jack Lee announcing his decision to join the party.[22] There are also some commentaries on this party, like an Initium Media article thoroughly analyzing whether this party's centrist stance has any chance of survival in Hong Kong,[23] as well as opinion pieces from Ta Kung Pao and Orange News discussing potential reasons for founder James Tien to establish the party and his future political agenda.[24][25] I personally do not believe being defunct or a party's achievements are relevant to notability, especially since the founding members are all notable politicians (James Tien, Selina Chow, Miriam Lau, Felix Chung, Lam Man-kit ), not just random people forming a joke party or something. The nom is absolutely right that there has been a significant drop in media coverage about this party after its closure. But the coverage we got is more than sufficient for a GNG pass, and Wikipedia also records history, so a notable political party, even if it no longer exists, is still worth documenting. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 15:04, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- From the sources I think it's actually incorrect to call it a party - it was formed as a corporation to circumvent normal party formation requirements. However I still think the absence of any coverage outside of HK and the fact that it didn't have WP:LASTING coverage override the bare presence of a few sources. Simonm223 (talk) 15:46, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- WP:LASTING applies only to events, not defunct organizations. I also do not see any issues with notability merely because the coverage is local. Sources with a regional audience can still serve as strong evidence of notability per WP:AUD. The media outlets listed above, like HKET or HK01 or Initium, are among the most credible sources in Hong Kong. I think it is entirely reasonable for a local organization to operate solely within its region and exert local influence. It does not need to expand its influence to a global level or be reported by English-language sources to be considered notable (non-English sources are perfectly acceptable per WP:NONENG). Otherwise, it would promote an Anglo-centric bias on Wikipedia by rejecting subjects that have not received international or English-language coverage. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 16:33, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- I would at least expect SCMP or similar to mention it if this group had even regional significance. Like we're not talking about press coverage limited to one country or to one province. We're talking about press coverage limited to one city. Simonm223 (talk) 17:04, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- I believe the term "regional" in WP:AUD (which is pipe-linked to Newspaper#Local or regional:
A local newspaper serves a region such as a city, or part of a large city
) is perfect for the case of Hong Kong, and I do not really understand the logic here: SCMP is still a local newspaper and should be dismissed if you are expecting coverage outside of Hong Kong specifically. I do not see a significant difference between SCMP and the Hong Kong Economic Times or Ming Pao aside from one being in English and the others in Chinese, which brings me back to my point about WP:NONENG. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 17:19, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

There is no doubt that the subject is notable as a book. 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. I propose redirecting it to the article on Ashraf Ali Thanwi.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 15:37, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. I came here expecting this to be an easy delete !vote on a non-notable minor noble. However, a web search for "christoph zu hohenlohe", one version of his German name, turns up a bunch of significant coverage: [27][28][29], most of it about his death but some from long afterwards (that last link is from 2020). I'm gonna do a deeper dive for sourcing, but I'm leaving this here for now. Toadspike [Talk] 13:38, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
- There is English-language sigcov on his death the Independent article already cited in the article [30], and French/German coverage in "L'étrange mort d' un noble lausannois", L'Illustré, 16.08.2006 by Arnaud Bédat; "Prinzessin Ira von Fürstenberg «Man hat meinen Sohn umgebracht»", Glückspost, 17.08.2006, by Marco Hirt and Roswitha vom Bruck;"Ende eines Genfer Jetset-Prinzen", Tages-Anzeiger, 11.08.2006, by Bernhard Hülsebusch. There is also an article over 1000 words long in the Sonntagsblick of 20.08.2006, titled "Keine Maiglöckchen im Knast", by Helmut-Maria Glogger.
- Good search terms include "Christoph von Hohenlohe", "Christoph Prinz von Hohenlohe", "Christoph zu Hohenlohe", "Christoph Prinz zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg" (which appears to be his full and correct title), and "Christoph Vittorio Umberto" (his full first names). I see some articles from the time saying that his death was first reported in the Italian press, which I do not have great access too – for instance, my sources mention his brother and mother speaking to the Corriere della Sera, but I cannot find the original coverage in that paper. (The article current links to an English translation of a Corriere article, but this doesn't quote Ira, so clearly there was more.)
- I don't think BLP1E or BIO1E preclude an article here, but in case that comes up I've also found some indications that he received significant coverage before his death. He is mentioned repeatedly in articles about his mother, Ira von Fürstenberg (a very underdeveloped article – she seems to have been quite famous). In a 1978 interview of Ira in the Schweizer Illustrierte, Christoph is mentioned several times, not least when the interviewer asks "Christoph hat anscheinend, wie man in den Zeitungen lesen kann, einen Riesenerfolg bei Frauen." ("Christoph clearly has, as one can read in the newspapers, great success with women.") – so he was clearly being covered elsewhere, too. Toadspike [Talk] 14:16, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

- UN link looks "good" but when you click on it and read it gives an interview format coverage, not reliable and not suitable for BLP:
- https://news.un.org/en/story/2021/06/1093392
- Julian Omalla, who is widely known as “Mama Cheers” after the popular juice brand “Cheers” that her company Delight Uganda produces, is now planning to expand with the construction of a new factory in the north of the country.
- “When I launched my company, Delight Uganda Limited, in 1996, I didn’t know much about running a business. I started it from scratch, and had to overcome many challenges.
- I remember walking for many kilometres, on bad roads, and working in my garden from morning to night. One of the low points came when my business partner ran off with all of the money I had raised to buy stock. All I had left was a wheelbarrow, to take fruit to market, and one red dress!
- I couldn’t get any banks to finance my business, because I didn’t have any collateral, so raising funds to expand was an uphill task. Like most women in Uganda, I had to rely on savings and invest my profits back into the company.
- This link https://unctad.org/news/prize-winning-ugandan-woman-entrepreneur-grows-juice-business-improves-community provides no significant coverage either, and neither this one https://observer.ug/business/julian-omalla-wins-un-award-for-inclusive-business-model/
- Omalla thanked Enterprise Uganda and UNCTAD for the award, and pledged to continue working to support uplift rural women from poverty.
- She said that she intends to reach at least one million women from the current 500,000, over the next 10 years. She also noted that Delight is in the process of installing a modern processing plant in the region so as to increase its capacity to be able to buy and process all the fruits produced by women farmers.

Taking to AFD as a courtesy for further consensus. Whether this topic is genuinely distinct from virtual reality, mixed reality, and augmented reality has been disputed by an editor.

- We don't know that "smaller Ethiopian newspapers" covered cyclists. Not all sports get much coverage in every country at every time. Anyway, Wikipedia's current rules state that the coverage must be uncovered before creating articles, not after. Geschichte (talk) 14:49, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- @AnonymousScholar49, I appreciate being called an expert, but I am just another editor like you. The subject's Amharic name is ንጉሴ መንግስቱ, and it is used in a few articles ([37] [38] (use webarchive)), but mostly mentions that I can find. He might be covered in Jack Trickey's interview considering he was one of two cyclists to run into him, but we can't say that for sure as it's paywalled.
- And for the record, not to be semantic but SPORTCRIT only mandates that SIGCOV must exist in articles, not from their inception; that rule was not in place at the time this article was created in 2014. --Habst (talk) 13:07, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
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)

- Oppose: the term is definitely used at least in Russian-language publications (i.e. Eugene Helimski used it as an umbrella term for 5 separate but related topics) and it's no less legitimate than, say, "Pre-Indo-European languages" or "Pre-Greek substrate". By the way, what I've read on the substrate in Finno-Volgaic languages (Zhivlov & Aikio) make only very few mentions of similar substrate word in Permic. Finstergeist (talk) 20:27, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- In this paper Aikio gives several examples that have Permic cognates, see pages 45-46, and he specifically mentions this:
- "a surprisingly large part of the vocabulary traditionally reconstructed for
- ‘Finno-Volgaic’ and ‘Finno-Permic’ (UEW: 605–827) involves irregular sound cor-
- respondences and other etymological difficulties."
- I.e. Finno-Permic is specifically mentioned (also Finno-Volgaic, but that is a subset of Finno-Permic, and the vocabulary there has the same features such as abundance of š).

- Comment - I don't really understand the problem. The topic of this page is undoubtedly notable. There is another page titled IBM and the Holocaust which is specifically about a book published under that title. Whether that latter page is notable or not is moot given it doesn't appear to be nominated for deletion. To me this nomination is doomed to failure given that the scope of the other page is clearly a book (and the book is clearly about a specific part of IBM history) and whilst it overlaps with the topic of this nom-ed page, by definition doesn't encompass it. Renaming pages or moving to redlinks is not normally something we discuss at AfD. JMWt (talk) 10:52, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

- Comment to summarize, we now have the following articles that summarize info about IBMs involvement during WWII:
- I would say that's a bit much. As an alternative proposal to deletion, I would suggest dramatically shortening the book article and moving that info here. The book is considered a reliable source, but using it in the book article is undue weight due to it being a primary source. PhotographyEdits (talk) 15:21, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep IBM and the Holocaust is an article on a specific book (full title:IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation) by Edwin Black and not an overall topic; Business collaboration with Nazi Germany is about overall business collaboration with Nazi Germany (so not specific to IBM); History of IBM is an overall company history and not specific to their WWII history. I do think that this article should be built out, but I think IBM's WWII history-which ranges from the US Army's use of punch cards (a good example is highlighted in The Fog of War and described in depth by Robert McNamara and not to mention it assigned Major Major Major the rank of Major in Catch-22) to their involvement in the Holocaust and how IBM was able to profit off both sides of the war technically through Dehomag-does deserve a standalone article. That there are parts of IBM's WWII history in other articles is not a valid reason to delete an article specific to the topic. Best, GPL93 (talk) 18:58, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Sure, the book article is about the book, but the summary section in that article basically duplicates the current article. With the exception of the US-side, which is why I originally suggested to move that to a different article. PhotographyEdits (talk) 20:01, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

- Because of how extensive the summary is in the book article. Random example: Berlin: The Downfall 1945. It is described in a single sentence, and link to the articles in case that describe it in-depth. I think that is fine. My point for opening this AfD was because I don't think it's a good idea to duplicate the information across multiple articles. I'm not necessarily proposing removing it from the book article, though. PhotographyEdits (talk) 21:11, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

- comment regarding Dr. Paul Elovitz's notability according to WP:NACADEMIC
- Related to Klbrain #1: Beyond reaching Associate Professor at Temple University, in later years Dr. Paul Elovitz was a Full Professor of History at Ramapo College, NJ retiring from his role in 1992. Also, at Ramapo College, Dr. Elovitz introduced courses that integrated Psychology and History, establishing his own curriculums in "Psychohistory" - which is a significant accomplishment for a historian: Integration of any psychological concepts into the field of history were previously met with resistance and scrutiny.
- Related to hroest: Clio's Psyche is a peer-reviewed publication that was established over 30 years ago. It's peer review process is rigorous, involving a minimum of 5 peer reviewers from different fields of knowledge, such as: Psychology, psychoanalysis, anthropology, history, medicine and others. The standard for other well established peer reviewed journals is typically 2 peer-reviewers. The reason for Clio's Psyche utilizing 5 or more peer reviewers is the transdisciplinary nature of Psychohistory. Also, it is one of very few psychohistorical journals. Another journal that publishes psychohistorical materials is The Journal of Psychohistory.
- Related to Klbrain #2: Starting in 2025, Clio's Psyche is being converted to electronic/searchable format and included in the CrossRef database with DOI numbers assigned. This process is still continuing, and will be finalized by September 2025. PepWeb is in the process of acquiring access to all Clio's Psyche issues, when the electronic conversion is done.
- Related to LDM1954: Temple University is where Dr. Paul Elovitz started his career, but it was a short time. Dr. Paul Elovitz went on to a full professorship at Ramapo College.
- Dr. Elovitz was elected as president of The International Psychohistorical Association, a 48 year old international organization. He is the only living contributor to every years annual conference of the organization. This year, May 23-25, 2025 will be the 48th annual conference of the International Psychohistorical Association.
- Based on this input, what content do we need to clean and/or add into Dr. Elovitz's article to meet standards?
- Thank you for your time. PsychologyAdvocate (talk) 14:49, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- PsychologyAdvocate, you have misunderstood what makes an academic notable.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ambrosiawater (talk) 05:43, 15 May 2025 (UTC)- Ldm1954, thank you for your feedback, this is helpful!
- In the meantime, we will be revising the current article showing notability. We will be structurally basing the article on Dr. Otto Kernberg's Wikipedia page, showing that the institutions (The Psychohistory Forum) Dr. Elovitz created as well as the peer-reviewed journal (Clio's Psyche) are transdisciplinary and unique. For example, Clio's Psyche is one of two existing peer-reviewed psychohistorical journals; and The Psychohistory Forum, which has a 40yr history, is a place for academicians, clinicians, students and professors, across diverse fields of knowledge, coming together to discuss and help each other in their work in a hands-on manner - laying a foundation for the field of Psychohistory.
- Uniqueness often is difficult to compare. Do you have a recommendation for describing pioneering work?
- Thank you in advance for your time. PsychologyAdvocate (talk) 13:48, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Until his peers recognize the work there is nothing you can do. Wikipedia is a trailing indicator, we are very conservative about what we accept.

None of the references establish notability. I see only a few relevant hits on Google (The company name is very generic, though.): [41][42][43][44] and similar. All of them seemingly fail all criteria of WP:SIRS. This PDF could possibly have some SIRS coverage on the product, but I think that that is too little to establish notability.

- I would like to respectfully oppose the deletion of this article.
- Hosting Controller is a long-standing and recognized name in automating service provisioning, user management, billing and metering for various on-premises and Cloud services including web hosting, Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, Skype for Business, Azure and Microsoft CSP program, with over two decades of history and global usage. While the company name may appear generic, the product and brand "Hosting Controller" have a distinct and established presence, especially within the Windows hosting and hybrid cloud automation space.
- The following points support notability:
- External Review:
- There are third-party sources, including [industry articles, hosting review platforms, and integration announcements] that cover Hosting Controller’s product offerings, partnerships, and impact in the hosting industry. These sources include:
- Articles in web hosting review platforms.
- Mentions and integrations with Microsoft Exchange, Hyper-V, and other enterprise systems.
- Inclusion in hosting control panel comparisons and industry whitepapers.
- Longevity and Industry Use:
- Hosting Controller has been active since at least 1999, with a consistent product line evolving with market demands—from shared hosting control panels to hybrid cloud automation solutions.
- Product Uniqueness:
- Its support for hybrid environments (Windows/Linux/cloud) and integration with platforms like Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, and Office 365 sets it apart from more common cPanel-style products.
- Potential Sources:
- The company documentation (e.g., whitepapers, PDFs) may not seem like SIRS at first glance, but many are cited or used by third parties in evaluations, comparisons, or implementation case studies. I’m happy to help surface more third-party mentions if needed.
- Given the depth of its niche, industry presence, and long-term use, I believe Hosting Controller meets the criteria for notability and request that the article be improved rather than deleted. Zaighum Khalique (talk) 04:30, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
- Please name the URLs you have found. I haven't found anything except the said PDF document. Janhrach (talk) 08:33, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the feedback. As requested, I am sharing specific third-party and platform references that demonstrate Hosting Controller's notability and industry relevance:
- In-depth third-party coverage:
- ▶"Hosting Controller Delivers a Hybrid Automation Solution for Service Providers" – HostingAdvice.com (2021)
- This is a professionally written and independently published piece that provides a detailed overview of Hosting Controller’s features, hybrid automation value, and market differentiation. It qualifies as a secondary source under WP:SIRS.
- Industry presence on major platforms:
- ▶ AWS Marketplace Profile
- ▶ Microsoft Azure Marketplace Listing
- These are not news articles per se, but they establish Hosting Controller’s integration and credibility within top-tier enterprise ecosystems. Inclusion on these platforms requires vetting and compliance, reflecting notability in its niche.
- Given this, I respectfully request that the article be retained and improved, rather than deleted. Zaighum Khalique (talk) 05:37, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- As for the latter two sources, they are neither secondary, nor independent from the subject. As for HostingAdvice, their website is blacklisted on Wikipedia, because someone has spammed links to the website, which is a good indicator that they publish paid-for content. Also, the author of the article you mentioned seemingly only publishes promotional articles. Janhrach (talk) 15:44, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Please name the URLs you have found. I haven't found anything except the said PDF document. Janhrach (talk) 08:33, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep
- I respectfully oppose the deletion of this article.
- Notability and Independent Coverage
- Hosting Controller has been profiled by a well-established industry publication, HostingAdvice.com, in the article “Hosting Controller Delivers a Hybrid Automation Solution for Service Providers,” which provides an in-depth, independently written overview of its features, market positioning, and hybrid cloud value proposition
- HostingAdvice.com
- .
- Integration in Major Enterprise Ecosystems
- The product’s listing on the AWS Marketplace underscores its enterprise credibility—participation in AWS Marketplace requires rigorous vendor vetting and demonstrates real‐world use by customers across Amazon’s ecosystem
- Amazon Web Services, Inc.
- .
- Likewise, Hosting Controller is available on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, reflecting its validation as a turnkey control-panel solution for Azure virtual machines and confirming its alignment with Microsoft’s partner quality standards
- Azure Marketplace
- .
- Longevity and Global Adoption
- The software has been in continuous development since 1999, evolving from a Windows-only control panel to a full hybrid-cloud automation suite used by over 5,000 organizations in 125 countries
- HostingAdvice.com
- .
- This two-decade track record evidences sustained industry relevance and distinguishes it from ephemeral or trivial products
- Wikipedia
- .
- Unique Feature Set and Industry Impact
- Compared to generic cPanel-style offerings, Hosting Controller’s hybrid multi-cloud support (Windows/Linux, on-premises and public clouds) and deep integrations with Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint, Skype for Business, and Office 365 set it apart in the Windows hosting and CSP market
- hostingcontroller.com
- .
- Independent analyses on hosting review platforms and whitepapers routinely include Hosting Controller in their comparisons of enterprise control panels, further demonstrating its recognized niche impact
- Wikipedia
- .
- Conclusion and Request for Improvement
- Given its significant third-party coverage, enterprise-scale integrations, and longstanding market presence, Hosting Controller clearly meets WP:SIRS and WP:GNG criteria for notability. Rather than deletion, the article should be retained and expanded with these reliable sources to improve its coverage and verifiability. Casaidealeriparazioni (talk) 09:07, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

I'm more concerned that the statue's notability is inherent rather than independent, despite the sources. Sure, detailing the statue is nice for readers to know, but such relevant info is mergeable into the parent article, Tom Seaver § Awards and honors. Also, I can't help wonder whether the article as-is violates WP:NOTNEWS or WP:NOTEVERYTHING. George Ho (talk) 05:14, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

- Despite being the creator of this article, I suppose I should give the reasoning behind this. I'd argue keep; the statue notable in it being the first - and, to date, only - MLB park statue in NYC. Its also one of the few statues of sportspeople in NYC in general, depicting an iconic cultural figure of the city. Its also one of the few noteworthy statues in Queens, New York.
- Its also a statue which was long fought for and which caused considerable controversey due to the timing of its announcement after the depictee's diagnosis with dementia and, a year later, untimely death. There is more than enough reasonable info about the statue itself to justify a fork, rather than unnecessarily loading up the main article with extra details about the controversy surrounding the statue. Omnis Scientia (talk) 09:04, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep, meets GNG and per Omnis Scientia. I could repeat much of what they say above, and argue further for keeping this unique and important statue, but what comes to mind about this nomination is, why? Randy Kryn (talk) 09:33, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
what comes to mind about this nomination is, why?
Maybe you'll see me as too prejudiced, but do I need to explain myself about something this obvious? If that's not obvious, I'll ask this: Do we need (a flood of) other articles about statues of certain athletes, like this person? Sure, a statue is of an honor, but a standalone article about this statue... Seriously, is this suitable for the project? Other than the inscription, I see no other content that is not mergeable to the parent article, IMO. I fail to see how this article would grow over time, honestly. (No offense to the article creator.) George Ho (talk) 12:52, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. This seems to have significant coverage in NY Times and, to a lesser extent, the NY Daily News and Reuters. The proposed statue had coverage several years before it was actually unveiled, and there was also some coverage in CBS Sports and Fox News about the statue having an incorrect jersey number. I think the nominator's argument of WP:NOTEVERYTHING isn't exactly applicable here, since one could just rebut with WP:NOTPAPER. However, I will say that the sourcing I found isn't enough to expand this beyond more than a start-class article, at least for the moment. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:09, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

- Comment from the reviewer who accepted this at AfC, happy to chime in. I will note that this was a rather borderline acceptance but the draft (now article) did a good job of paring down to just containing the independent reviews of the otherwise routine coverage of the event. The Brooklyn Rail's coverage "Brooklyn's Beachfront Romance With Cinema Continues at the Coney Island Film Festival" does contain some of the most independent analysis but the quoted pieces in the article should be analyzed here (source assessment table anyone?) to see the depth of their independent coverage relative to the article as a whole could meet WP:THREE or if the breadth of the coverage makes up for any shortfalls therein.

- Keep – The Coney Island Film Festival has been held annually since 2001 and has received repeated coverage in independent, reliable sources including the Brooklyn Eagle, Time Out New York, Brooklyn Paper, Brooklyn Rail, and MovieMaker Magazine. While the depth of each individual source varies, taken together they meet the WP:GNG threshold and satisfy WP:NEVENT.

- I will also point the nation article [46] also mentions genocide in gaza where they referenced the list by American Friends Service Committee. [47] Cinaroot (talk) 23:59, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: that would defeat the purpose though as the list specifically refers to companies that are involved in actions that belong to the broader topic of the Gaza genocide. e.g. a company that produces aid packages would be involved in the war but not in the genocide (bad example but you get the point). Laura240406 (talk)
- Fair point. "List of companies involved in Gaza war crimes" would've been a better suggestion. I don't see any problems with the current title personally, but was trying to say that a title change is preferable to a total deletion. EvansHallBear (talk) 03:59, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Leaving aside the questions of neutrality and phrasing, this is not a notable intersection for these companies. The fact
This article does not claim that these companies support genocide in Gaza—it documents their involvement in it,
means it's non-defining, and while that applies specifically to categories, the fact is that none of these companies are notable - it's a WP:COATRACK of sorts to shame the companies in question. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:11, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

- Delete as failing NLIST. Nominator stands correct that the title is bad, yet that part can be changed to something along the lines of companies that supply sides in the Gaza War, or that supply the IDF in the Gaza War. The absence of sources for this list as whole, however, is not a coincidence. The IDF has suppliers of military equipment and these companies really belong to IDF discussions. The supplies are not specific to the Gaza War. For Hamas, state actors are often indicated as suppliers and this is already discussed elsewhere. Supplies were largely or entirely cut off by the IDF. gidonb (talk) 05:06, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: There are sources though: here here here and here (taken from the external links section) Laura240406 (talk) 12:29, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- These sources exemplify the weakness of the argument to keep. Only one of the sources provided is somewhat independent. And even then, The Nation identifies itself as a progressive publication. This means that it has a particular political perspective, and its content should be treated with appropriate caution and attributed to its perspective. In this case it decided to tie general supply information of the IDF to alleged crimes. That isn't NPOV, neither is our article. The other sources provide organizational opinions. One of the sources you provided is even a press release!

- There are of course additional secondary sources in the list tying the use of specific weapons to Israeli war crimes in the Gaza war. These war crimes are well documented by human rights groups and experts. Although The Nation is biased it is considered a WP:RS. Per WP:POVDELETION, concerns about NPOV can be addressed over time and don't warrant deleting the entire article. Dismissing the opinions of multiple UN independent experts because they are in a press release seems like WP:IDONTLIKEIT.

- Delete - my reasoning is a little unusual but runs as follows; it's a serious allegation to make that a company should be added to this list and the risk of false-positives (meaning fake information or wrongly adding a similarly named company) would seem to be high. Unless a company itself was proud of its involvement and publicly stated as such, I don't see that there is sufficient historical inquiry to warrant a page. In my view and without assuming bad faith on anyone, this is currently not an appropriate use of Wikipedia. JMWt (talk) 11:00, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

- With respect, whilst the entries currently on the page are arguably well sourced, the debate is about the topic and the potential that it could be a problem.

- Also see e.g. here. Laura240406 (talk) 13:28, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Either way, this kind of content isn't neutral and should be avoided. Govvy (talk) 14:04, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- That invalidates your point though since the editors themselves would be liable and not Wikipedia as a whole. This is also not defamation since it's based on sources and doesn't alledge anything. The article doesn't include any speculations as to who is legally responsible or who vocally supports the genocide. It just lists suppliers of the weapons that are used for the genocide and related war crimes, which are statements that are easy to proof and verify.
- e.g. the IAF carpet bombs Gaza using F35Is -> Lockheed Martin produces them specifically for the IAF -> Lockheed Martin produces the fighter jets used for carpet bombing
- Every step of this example can be backed by sources and the logical conclusions can also be backed by sources so it's not original research. There is no room for interpretation or defamation here. Laura240406 (talk) 16:34, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- I’m not a legal expert, but my understanding is that laws like Section 230 (in the U.S.) protect platforms from liability for user-generated content. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, disputed material can be challenged and removed through established editorial processes. It’s not up to individual editors to assess legal liability — our role is to ensure content aligns with Wikipedia’s core policies: verifiability, neutral point of view (NPOV), and no original research.
- Whether or not Wikipedia can be sued is a legal question beyond the scope of editorial decisions. What matters here is whether the material follows wiki policies. If it meets those standards, it belongs — even if it’s uncomfortable or controversial. Cinaroot (talk) 17:11, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: neutrality of the title aside, companies involved in Gaza genocide is something regularly covered in reliable sources, usually in the context of boycotts or geopolitical issues. And they are not only covered individually, they are often discussed as a group, even if it's just a small subset at a time. For example, articles discussing which companies supply weapons. --MarioGom (talk) 19:37, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete mostly per Bushranger above. There are only 4 articles with the title "list of companies involved..." - two of them are about being involved in specific fields. The other is List of companies involved in the Holocaust. That article makes very clear that it is a defining characteristic of the companies involved directly supporting the Holocaust through things like utilizing forced labor, or directly engaging in censorship, or building new plants/factories to specifically support the actions of the regime in severe ways. Merely selling arms to a military who went on to be accused of war crimes is not a defining characteristic - otherwise, we would have an article listing companies involved in the construction or operation of the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, for example.In other words, the one other similar article has clear intentional links between the companies and the war crimes committed. On the other hand, this article is virtually entirely "guilt by association". There is zero evidence that any of the companies listed so far have done anything differently to "support" the actions of the military. In other words, it's an attempt at advocacy through a WP:COATRACK - saying "hey, look at this list of companies that are supplying the Israeli military". It is not a defining feature of these companies, and it is not an independently notable topic. It is likely that the information on who supplies the Israeli military (both now and historically) is due weight to include in an article about the Israeli military. But attempting to split this out like this is nothing more than a POV fork and should not be tolerated.Lastly, even if people think the above issues aren't present, this is a clear example of why WP:NOPAGE exists. Other information provides needed context for this that is not possible to present in a table/list format, such as the history of the conflict, the actual way that the companies' supplies have been used, the use of other supplies not listed in the table, etc. Whereas, again, this page can only ever serve as "ooh look at this list of companies that you should dislike because they supply the Israeli military" - and actually does our readers a disservice by splitting this off from the context and information that would be presented if it were included in other relevant articles, following WP:DUE, of course. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 20:39, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Personally, I don't think your first paragraph holds water. For example IBM were not, as far as I know, directly using slave labour during the Holocaust, they were supplying computer equipment. And they're on the list you mention.
- Similarly I don't think your second holds much water; continuing the analogue you've introduced, a chemical company which knowingly supplied Nazi death camps in full knowledge of what the chemicals would be used for were not just "guilty by association"
- The difference with the Holocaust and this article is that there has been extensive historical research and academic debate about the topic since the 1950s. In the current situation the killing isn't even over. JMWt (talk) 20:50, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- I would support removing IBM from that list then as they were not directly and intentionally involved in the Holocaust. And you seem to be agreeing with my second point - a chemical company (such as BASF, listed in that article) that knowingly sold chemicals specifically to be used for mass murders, and even built a new factory at a concentration camp to be used specifically to supply it... well yeah, that's clearly more than "guilt by association". Merely supplying a military is "guilt by association" without more information and context. Hence why this page should not exist as a standalone list/article. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 21:00, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

In addition to a New York Times article and other periodicals, LxsDos are also featured in a Routledge Companion published book (cited on the page) and the other is an academic text titled "Exploring the Transnational Neighbourhood: Perspectives on Community-Building, Identity and Belonging." This latter text features an analysis of LxsDos's most notable work and their work is also the book's cover. Very perplexed as to why this is not enough. Is there a minimum amount required? Philomena7 (talk) 01:00, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @Philomena7,
- Thanks for the information. Perhaps if you can provide WP:THREE that would help? For example, while Lxs Dos are mentioned and quoted in the NYT article, I'm not sure the content is sufficiently substantive to meet the requirement of being the "primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews..." (my emphasis added)...? Thanks. Cabrils (talk) 02:05, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Noted! Thank you for this clarity. I have added another periodical source where it is the main source of the article. I am also new to writing articles, so I am still learning how much secondary source analysis is appropriate within the Wiki article itself. Would you be able to look over my new edits? Philomena7 (talk) 02:11, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks @Philomena7, that addition helps a lot.
- Could you please confirm you do not have a conflict of interest?
- Thanks, Cabrils (talk) 05:32, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- No conflict of interest! My main motivation is that this article was part of a Wikipedia assignment for a university art history course I was enrolled in, and I dedicated time to learning about my assigned artist, finding sources, and learning Wikipedia’s writing approaches. So I’m invested in the sense that I want to make sure my project (even though I already got my grade for this last year) stays in mainspace. Philomena7 (talk) 12:11, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- P.S I should also add that my grade had nothing to whether or not my article remained in mainspace. Contributing to Wikipedia just became something I was passionate about. Thanks for the input on my edits. Is there anything else I should edit/add? Philomena7 (talk) 12:12, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Unsourced list which seems to fail WP:NLIST. I find no independent reliable sources that justify this being a standalone list. Although each of these teams existed, that does not justify a list. If sources are added, this might be a merger candidate to the section History of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Without any sources, it's trivia that fails notability guidelines.

While this footballer plays in the premier league and seems likely to be notable in the future, I've been unable to find sources to establish notability now; the page cites a database entry and a social media post, and nothing better turns up on my search. — Moriwen (talk) 23:52, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

This appears to be a basic summary of a non-notable commercial operation - no assertion of notability is made, and the service it provides is routine / non-innovative. A mention in a list of eSIM operators would seem sufficient. SeoR (talk) 00:00, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
