The article looks like it was generated by an LLM. I have already removed non-existent references that were probably hallucinated by the LLM, and the claims that those references purported to support. The remainder of the article is poorly sourced. The topic looks as though it is notable, but I suggest WP:TNT because the content, as unchecked LLM output, cannot be trusted. SunloungerFrog (talk) 06:28, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete possibly notable, but the article seems unrecoverable. Let's start from scratch. SportingFlyer T·C 10:56, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Probably notable but with the WP:V concerns raised by LLM used, the article can't be trusted. Also we should not encourage editors who want to create articles with LLM's and then wait for others to fix their problems. Let them redo it the right way.

we never trust the article, we trust reliable sources. If the topic is notable, reliable sources exist. —Rutebega (talk) 19:34, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: WP:DELETIONISNOTCLEANUP. Unsourced or unverifiable claims by LLMs are not more dangerous than those inserted by random IPs, and they have no bearing on deletion policy. Grind this thing down to the stump by all means, but deletion seems to me totally symbolic and a much bigger waste of time. —Rutebega (talk) 19:28, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You're citing an essay, which also almost immediately notes that However, some articles do reach the so-called TNT tipping point: an article should exist, but the article (and all the versions in history) is too deeply flawed to work from. When that point is reached, deletion provides a reset, and gives editors a clean slate. I would also note unsourced or unverifiable claims by LLMs are more dangerous, because they're clearly made up out of cloth, but are presented with authority.

Delete per WP:TNT. The creator claims to be a "story teller" but seems to be making up stories: several pages created by AI have been deleted or in the process of being deleted for the same reasons. This could not happen at the worst possible time. Bearian (talk) 16:44, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Disagree with the keep vote. If the claimed notability of the subject relies on made up sources, then the main problem is not cleanup being needed, it is notability. Yue🌙 22:38, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TNT. Yet another article created because of this editathon. Children Will Listen (🐄 talk, 🫘 contribs) 06:41, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
We really need to contact the editors running this edit-a-thon about all the AI-generated/WP:SYNTH articles being created as a result. Half of the suggested article titles in the "article list" are not suitable for Wikipedia articles, and sound like the titles of argumentative essays instead.

Delete for now, not only due to the AI-generated mess with fictitious sources this is, but also due to the topic not being notable enough for its own article.

If more reliably sourced info on reparations can be added to Pan-African Congress (there’s only a sentence about it right now) then redirect there. Due to this article being fully/near-fully generated by AI and having fictitious sources, and containing a lot of info unrelated to the Pan-African Congress, nothing should be merged.

Delete more LLM garbage which should be hastily relegated to the rubbish bin. Iljhgtn (talk) 10:37, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
