The book notes: "One, Two, Three and Away! Collins 1964. Although the first publishing date of this scheme appears to suggest it might be outdated, this is by no means true. One, Two, Three and Away! first appeared as a series of twelve readers but these were so well received it has now been extended into a very comprehensive reading programme containing big books and little books, 114 readers, early reading card games, 8 phonic card games, work books, comprehension cards, STILE activities, wooden and felt character figures etc. The continued success of this programme lies in the quality of story the books contain and a publisher sensitive to the growing needs of teachers. It has never remained static and the author, Sheila McCullagh, has consistently added more imaginative resources to keep this scheme in the forefront of popularity. Although the vocabulary is well controlled in the early stages it is not contrived. One, Two, Three and Away certainly provides children with a good long runway so that they are able to launch themselves into fluent independent reading"

The article notes: "One Two Three and Away Hart Davis) is an excellent illustration of how this can be achieved. Sheila McCullagh magically continues to extend this series without any loss of quality; she remains sensitive to the needs of teachers and children in all she writes. One Two Three and Away, despite Its 166 items, is not difficult to organize in a classroom. Recent additions include pre-readers 9-12; Introductory M-P (making 38 little books before Book 1); and six new Hum-mingbirds, with some easier Hummingbirds promised later. The publisher, Learning Development Aids, has recently provided a One, Two Three and Away version of Stile, which contains a variety of activities associated with the readers. Stile is very popular with children of all ages - it is both flexible and satisfying to use."

The abstract notes: "This is a simple and attractive reading series for infants, with additional play and teaching material, which will please the busy teacher by its very simplicity. When copies were put in one book corner the children were immediately drawn to them, and once they had looked at the back, with its colourful map, and a suspicion of a mystery maze beloved of children's comics-- what a grand idea this! -the right motivation was apparent and the stories and delightful pictures by Eccles did the rest."

The article notes: "A modern scheme ke One-Two-Three-And-Away!, by Sheila McCullagh, has an approach which ensures that when the children pick up their very first reading books they are in familiar territory. The ability to recognise word and decode is developed alongside the text, which is familiar because the children meet the schemes' characters — fellows called Roger Red Hat and Billy Blue Hat — before they start to read. 'he scheme's imaginary landscape — a place called The Village Wit!: Three Corners – is literally made by the children, who may play with models of the characters. The teacher tells them a story related to their books before they tackle them. Each story is a real story, with something happening, and very quickly the children are reading interesting stories."

The book notes: "Having chosen an appropriate book, which will have only one, or perhaps two short sentences per page, the adult might read the entire book to the child. If the well-weathered One, Two, Three and Away! scheme (written by Sheila McCullagh and published by Collins Educational) were being used, for example, the adult would then return to the first page and say, "Here is Roger Red-hat", pointing in turn to each word as it is spoken (Introductory Book A). Then he says, "Which word do you want me to point to? You choose a word for me to point to", rereading the words as much as seems necessary to help the child and allowing him to help hold the book. When a word has been selected and duly pointed to, the adult chooses one from the remaining words for the child to point to, repeating and drawing attention to the text again, in a relaxed way and as much as is necessary to ensure suc-cess. Such a procedure could be repeated for say, two or even three more pages, so that the adult and child have perhaps covered, 'Here is Roger Red-hat', 'Here is Roger's hat', 'Roger's hat is red', 'Rip is Roger's dog' and 'Here is Mr. Red-hat'. The youngster is being encouraged to scan for words (this being an important skill for the future)."

Fails WP:NATHLETE with a very short career and with nothing saying whether he has retired or not. Since it says he hasn't played in Nine Years, it would be hard to see him play again considering he is 34. Appears to be non notable failing GNG as well.

- Redirect to All-time Phoenix Rising FC roster#K. Fails GNG due to a lack of SIGCOV. While Mr. Kelly has played for other teams besides Arizona United (now known as Phoenix Rising), he has played a majority of his career for this club and his other clubs do not have a roster article. Willing to reconsider if additional coverage is found, so please ping me. Frank Anchor 17:16, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

This BLP is basically unsourced. When created, it had a user generated source that was later deleted and a Mypsace page as a source, also later deleted. The only remaining source is a dead link referencing a Suicide Girls interview, which even if it wasn't linked to an IP address instead of the Suicide Girls website, would be a primary source and therefore unacceptable for establishing notability. WP:BEFORE gave me absolutely nothing except more User Generated stuff, like Discogs listings, Social Media and the like. The article makes claims of the media comparing her to Wendy O. Williams but that is nowhere to be found. She has been a guest vocalist for a couple members of The Dammed, but notability is not inherited.

Fails WP:NENTERTAINER, has so far been a participant in a single reality TV franchise, no WP:SIGCOV outside of that. WP:PSEUDO also applies.

- delete The coordinates are slightly off so it took me a minute to find it on the maps, but it turns out to be entirely encompassed by the easternmost exit ramps of the interchange to the SSW of the point given in the article. And it's elevation is so slight as to be unrecognizable from the overpass; when you follow the ramp around you see a hillside but the only reason this has a name now is because it (and the hill) predate the roads.

I declined a WP:G4 tag on this, as the article appears to be somewhat different to the previous version deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John DenBoer; additionally, some comments at the previous AfD gave the impression this was a "not yet" instead of "not ever".

This article is basically a 'recreation' of a previously deleted page (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John_DenBoer, deleted 1 Nov 2022) and does 'not provide any independent coverage'. All the sources seem user-generated or paid. Therefore, it does 'not meet Wikipedia's notability rules' (WP:GNG) and should be deleted. — Evaowen (talk) 11:17, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and speedy close per WP:SNOW. First of all, this is a notable physician who has valid academic citations. He is also featured in a documentary film and has a TEDx talk. There are plenty of physicians with this level of notability who have absolutely no problems at all staying on Wikipedia, but DenBoer is being intentionally singled out because some angry people out there really dislike him.
Secondly, Evaowen popped out of nowhere to try to get the article deleted. Wikipedia has policies against libel, smear campaigns, and people trying to get articles deleted because of personal agendas and vendettas. This is absolutely uncalled for and has no place on Wikipedia.
Thirdly, archived versions of John DenBoer show that the article looked overly promotional and wasn't suitable as encyclopedic content at the time (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John DenBoer), but now it's been written from scratch again with multiple reliable sources, and the subject also has gained a lot.
Speedy keep, speedy close, and stop the nonsense. Jayyoungiscool (talk) 15:33, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

- @Jayyoungiscool Please keep the discussion focused on content and sourcing, not editors. AfD decisions are based on verifiable, independent, and reliable sources, not opinions.The WP:SNOW argument is not valid here — this is an active AfD discussion with differing views.
- So far, no such sources have been presented. TEDx talks, self-published research, or affiliated documentaries do not establish notability under WP:GNG or WP:BLP.
- Your comments appear strongly biased toward keeping the article regardless of sourcing, which gives the impression of a conflict of interest. If you believe the subject is notable, please provide independent, in-depth coverage from reputable publications.Evaowen (talk) 17:59, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

The only SIGCOV I can find about this company is an interview, so it appears to fail WP:CORPDEPTH. Redirecting to Little Goody Two Shoes (video game) is a potential WP:ATD given that it appears to be their only standalone notable product.

The only significant coverage from a reliable source I can find about this game is a single review here. It doesn't seem to pass the bar of WP:GNG. Little Goody Two Shoes (video game) might be an WP:ATD given that the game is a prequel to this one, it would make sense to incorporate something about it. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 10:45, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

- Hello, thank you for reviewing my article and explaining everything clearly. I understand now that I should have improved it more before publishing. I really appreciate your feedback, and I’ll move it to my draft space to work on sourcing and rewriting it properly. Thanks again for your time and for helping me understand the process better.

- First of all, please don't move articles when an AfD is in progress. As the banner says, do not remove this notice before the discussion is closed. You'd have to actually ask me to withdraw my nomination first.
- If you had asked me though, it's unlikely I would have because I believe this is a WP:AKON situation. I don't believe this article would be notable in any incarnation so redirection or deletion are the only potential options for it in my view. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:41, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

- Maybe keep. @Oaktree b: Did you search without the honorific title "Veer"? He's most commonly known as "Bhai Kotwal" without the Veer or Vir (which is a Hindi title given to honor heroes). If you search for that there are tons of hits in google books with snippet views of promise. Note that there are buildings and schools, a road, etc. named after him in India. There was also a 2020 film about his life. He's clearly a well known figure. I might suggest removing the Veer from the title because it literally means/denotes "hero".4meter4 (talk) 15:09, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

For an event to be presumed notable on Wikipedia, it must demonstrate lasting major consequences or affects a major geographical scope, or receives significant non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time. Coverage should be in multiple reliable sources with national or global scope.
Indeed, going further, and we get most crimes[...] – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance.
This is a fairly high bar, and not one this article topic appears to pass.
Created in the week after the event was reported, but it wasn't even posted at ITN because, unfortunately, gang rapes are much too common in India and nobody could see any WP:LASTING impact.[4] Several months later, that remains true. There's been a handful of news article doubting the 19 year old's story, evidence that at least one claim may be false (which is why we don't write sensitive articles with breaking news stories), an announcement that the police stopped arresting people after new evidence emerged, and a few news stories when the SIT report was released, saying only that it couldn't rule out that a crime had occurred [5][6][7], but that's it. - Admittedly, my WP:BEFORE was hampered by the fact that that there were several gang rapes in Varanasi this year and last, (Wikipedia:ROTM) and the 2024 case kept coming up instead of the 2025 case, but I'm still not seeing sufficient, continued coverage. While Modi and a few other public figures made statements (or campaign promises) at the time, there were no mass protests, no actual change effected, and, as such, no more sources to work with. The article also has many BLP issues - the first revision was the worst, but it still presents many claims as facts in wikivoice ("[X Name][...]later threatened to circulate the footage as revenge porn."..."he raped her before leaving her in the Nadesar area"... "man identified as [Y NAME], who took her to his residence in the Hukulganj area" - some of these are taken directly from quotes attributed to the mother, and the newspapers do not state them in their own voice. I shouldn't need to explain to anybody what that's problematic.
TL:DR; Could this be notable in the future? Yes, absolutely. Is it now? The sources don't indicate so, and we are, by design, a lagging indicator of notability. If we were to have an article on this subject, it should be based on high quality, non-breaking news stories. It should be balanced, respectful of the living people whose lives were impacted by the event, and not be based on two weeks worth of breaking news coverage. I'm willing to push NEVENT a bit for events that are very likely to be notable, such as airline crashes or natural disasters, but not crimes. Let the world write the sources first, and we'll follow.

It also satisfies WP:LASTING with sustained follow-up reporting on its real-world consequences, including the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT), the transfer of a senior IPS officer, and the PMO seeking a report on the case.Longewal (talk) 22:34, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
- No, it doesn't. This is a routine crime news, especially in a country like India. Some government moves are not indication of notability. Zalaraz (talk) 03:20, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
- While I understand where you're coming from, the fact that there was an investigation is expected, not a reason for notability and internal personal changes is not a LASTING impact. For that, we'd be looking for something like what happened in the Nirbhaya case: mass protests sweeping the country, serious calls for change, going to the Supreme Court- and we've got sources discussing all that. And I'm not saying those sources will never exist for this one - somebody could wake up tomorrow and start writing a book on it. But we only write articles once we've got sources, the sources just aren't there yet. And that's resulted in serious BLP issues, that could potentially negatively impact all the parties, especially the teenage girl. GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 03:39, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Per BLP issues and WP:NOTNEWS. Zalaraz (talk) 03:24, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
- Keep I am the article's original creator but others have contributed significantly to it. There are two issues here. One is compliance with WP:BLPCRIME with regard to names of involved people, and the other is WP:GNG of the overall event. I think the major complaint here is BLPCRIME, and I propose 1) WP:TNT to restart the article but omit all names while 2) confirming that this overall event passes GNG, and that a remake without names is welcome. The event happened in April 2025 and the last major update was the special investigation report in July. Modi the Prime Minister commented on it, which is unusual for any such case, and also this case has been in many newspapers over months. I count 3 major gang sexual assault incidents in the media, in this town, since this incident, so doing Internet search to sort the cases is a bit confusing. The two most unusual sources are the Prime Minister's statement and the Special Investigation Team (SIT) report which says, "Can’t be denied that the accused committed the crime". There are other unusual media items, including the primary source police interview which secondary sources report, and various articles which share the perspective of the accused.
- @GreenLipstickLesbian: You mentioned risk to the victim, whom I think is not named in any of the identified articles. Do you see a risk to the victim for this article existing if 1) she is not named and 2) the accused are not named? Bluerasberry (talk) 16:36, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
- Since you pinged: GNG is not relevant: as an event article, NEVENT applies. An SIT report is, in fact, a good thing that a government should produce - and none of the coverage on it is anything but routine.
- To answer your question, though - I think there's a risk to every party if we built sensitive articles on breaking news headlines, present unclear facts as though they are definitive, names included or otherwise. Why are you so opposed to recreating this in, say, three to five years, when the better sourcing emerges? GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 16:55, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
- Do agree with TNT though. GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 17:03, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
- WP:N states "A topic is presumed to merit an article if: It meets either the general notability guideline (GNG) below, or the criteria outlined in a subject-specific notability guideline (SNG)". The GNG is always relevant. Katzrockso (talk) 06:28, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
- WP:SNG are always preferred when determining notability, should they exist for a topic. Zalaraz (talk) 04:25, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
- Doesn't matter, since per WP:N very explicitly states a topic is notable if it meets either the WP:GNG or a particular WP:SNG. Katzrockso (talk) 23:48, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- No, it says that it's presumed notable. You can overcome that presumption; for example, if the sources are weak enough that you can't build an article adhering to core PAGs. GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 23:51, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- This is true, but relates to the fact that notability doesn't guarantee an article if an article fails other Wikipedia policies like WP:NOT, not whether or not the topic is actually notable. This is also a new argument not presented in the nomination (which focuses on claims of notability I believe were adequately addressed) and not one that I think can be successful. Do you really think the "sources are weak enough" here that it isn't possible to build an article adhering to PAGs? I have a hard time believing that. Katzrockso (talk) 10:27, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

- Keep per Bluerasberry and the WP:GNG. WP:NOTNEWS states that "For example, routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities, while sometimes useful, is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject of that coverage". There coverage is neither routine nor does it fall into the listed examples of routine coverage. WP:ROUTINE similarly provides no rationale for why the coverage here should be excluded. Katzrockso (talk) 06:31, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
- Whether the topic meets notability or not is inconsequential compared to the BLP concern affecting all parties involved. Keeping such an article only re-victimizes the victim and portrays the accused as a criminal without a real-life conviction, which violates WP:BLPCRIME. WP:NITROGLYCERIN is the way forward here. Zalaraz (talk) 04:25, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
- These are WP:SURMOUNTABLE problems that could be fixed by editing. WP:Deletion is not cleanup, the job of AfD is not to delete articles that have problems satisfying content guidelines, but whether the topic is notable enough to warrant a different article in any shape or form. One way to resolve your concerns about WP:BLPCRIME is just to remove all the content that violates it, not by deleting the article. WP:TNT is an essay, not a deletion rationale based in policy. Katzrockso (talk) 23:46, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- I'm going to let this be my last comment here: I actually looked into fixing this, before nominating (or at least, sketching out a way this could be fixed) However, I feel that the only way the BLP issues could be surmountable is with better quality sources, further removed from the event. We don't have those yet. Removing the content that runs afoul of BLP crime is deleting the article. GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 06:19, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- Another new argument not presented in the nomination nor one that I believe can be substantiated - the BLP issues pointed to in the nomination are WP:SURMOUNTABLE (referring to the contrast in voice between sources and the text of the article), but now you claim that all of the content that runs afoul of BLP crime is just about the entire article. This is a radical change in position and not one that is substantiated by a provided analysis of the article - I fail to understand how better quality sources would make a difference her with respect to the BLP crime accusation. Katzrockso (talk) 10:37, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- I haven't changed my argument, Katzrockso - I highlighted a different set of examples about how the reporting was a bit dubious with the note
which is why we don't write sensitive articles with breaking news stories
). I'm sorry if that didn't come across as clear enough. If you believe the BLP problems are surmountable, then fix them. I can't see how you get over the uncertainty and the fact that there's been no lasting coverage, no impact, no decent analysis by secondary sources. If you want me to withdraw, then provide those sources. Without them, we end up with articles like Prospect Park alleged police sodomy incident and Long family murder–suicide, aka sensationalist articles that never should have been written, one of which was kept around nearly two decades longer than it should have been.

One way to resolve your concerns about WP:BLPCRIME is just to remove all the content that violates it, not by deleting the article. WP:TNT is an essay, not a deletion rationale based in policy. Katzrockso (talk) 23:46, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Whether the topic meets notability or not is inconsequential compared to the BLP concern affecting all parties involved. Keeping such an article only re-victimizes the victim and portrays the accused as a criminal without a real-life conviction, which violates WP:BLPCRIME. WP:NITROGLYCERIN is the way forward here.

- Since 2014, the China Social Sciences Evaluation Institute (hereinafter referred to as the Evaluation Institute) has conducted journal evaluations every four years. The 2022 release of the "AMI Comprehensive Evaluation Report on Chinese Humanities and Social Sciences Journals (2022)" (third edition) evaluated 1,924 established journals, 117 newly established journals, 148 foreign journals, and 403 academic collections across 33 disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. The evaluations were divided into five levels: top, authoritative, core, expanded, and in-repository, based on the journals' academic level, comprehensive evaluation score, and actual performance.

- 《俄语学习》主编尹城说:“我们的读者群非常广泛——不仅有学生和教师,还包括外交官、商贸人员、科技人员和广大俄语自学者。”
- 北京外国语大学俄语学院毕业生曹定说,《俄语学习》伴他走过了4年大学生活,刊物文章语言活泼、易懂,对提高俄语阅读能力很有好处。“从这本杂志中我还了解到很多俄罗斯风俗民情。”他说。
- 近半个世纪来,《俄语学习》的发展就像一支“晴雨表”,从一个侧面反映了中国俄语教学事业的“兴”与“衰”。

- China’s Most Widely Circulated Russian Language Teaching Journal Marks Its 45th Anniversary
- NEWS.SOHU.COM, October 13, 2004 — Source: Xinhua News Agency
- BEIJING, October 13 (Reporters: Ge Wanqing, Zhang Yan, Wang Zuokui) — As China and Russia celebrate the 55th anniversary of their diplomatic relations, Russian Language Learning (《俄语学习》), the most widely circulated Russian language teaching journal in China, is also marking its 45th anniversary.
- Russian Language Learning was founded in the 1950s, during a nationwide enthusiasm for studying Russian. Published by Beijing Foreign Studies University, the journal has become a window for countless Chinese readers to learn about Russian language, literature, history, culture, national affairs, and current events.
- “Our readership is very broad,” said Yin Cheng, editor-in-chief of Russian Language Learning. “It includes not only students and teachers, but also diplomats, businesspeople, scientists, and self-learners of Russian.”
- Cao Ding, a graduate of the Russian Department at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said that Russian Language Learning accompanied him through his four years of college. “The articles are lively and easy to understand, which really helped improve my reading ability,” he said. “I also learned a lot about Russian customs and social life from the magazine.”
- Over the past half-century, the development of Russian Language Learning has served as a kind of “barometer,” reflecting the ups and downs of Russian language education in China.
- The journal was forced to suspend publication in 1966 during the Cultural Revolution and did not resume until 1985. In the nearly two decades since its revival, it has expanded several times, with circulation increasing from 6,000 copies in its early years to about 8,000.
- Pan Anrong, deputy director of the Foreign Language Reference Books Editorial Office at The Commercial Press and a longtime reader of Russian Language Learning, remarked: “I never expected the magazine to have such vitality. It started as just a few pages, but now it’s a well-produced publication!”
- According to the latest statistics from the Chinese Association for Russian Language Teaching, among 55 surveyed Chinese universities, there are currently 5,467 undergraduate students majoring in Russian, 487 master’s students, 88 doctoral students, and 13 postdoctoral researchers. They make up the journal’s primary readership.
- Professor Liu Limin, president of the Chinese Association for Russian Language Teaching, said: “Over more than forty years, Russian Language Learning has played a positive role in promoting Russian language education and training talent, accompanying several generations of Chinese learners.”
- To meet readers’ growing interest in Russian culture, Russian Language Learning plans to add three new columns: “Russian History and Culture,” “Russian Arts,” and “Russian Literature.” “We are striving to enhance the quality and standard of the publication to better meet our readers’ needs,” Yin Cheng said.
- Second, does the journal meet WP:NJournals (ACADEMIC journal)? Yes.
- I have created an article for AMI Comprehensive Evaluation Report. There is a research article about AMI: A comprehensive analysis of the journal evaluation system in China | Quantitative Science Studies | MIT Press. AMI is now considered one of three major citation indices, alongside CSSCI and A Guide to the Core Journals of China. LSNAWQ (talk) 21:52, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for finding Ge, Yan & Wang 2004, which is the crucial second source that allows Eurasian Humanities Studies to meet Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. I've switched to supporting retention below. LSNAWQ (talk · contribs), thank you again for your great work in creating articles on Chinese journals and databases as this is an area that deeply underrepresented on Wikipedia!

The article notes: "Acumen It would be tempting though not quite fair to say that Acumen now occupies the territory once held by the unreconstructed Outposts: there's the same emphasis on single poems, often by unfamiliar authors ... ... could stand as characteristic Acumen titles. There's a danger of complacency in this, but Patricia Oxley guards against it by attracting excellent established poets (Brownjohn, Ewart, Porter, the indefatigable Heath-Stubbs) and by finding some unusually confident newer voices. Where some editors' open doors let in the dust from the streets, hers admits the bracing fresh air of writers who convincingly reinvent the familiar: David Sutton, in 'Heatwave' ('The world's less real on summer afternoons. / We walk in dazzle, wan as daylit ghosts'); Adam Johnson, whose autumnal 'End of Season' ('lt pulls again, a green wave at my heels, / Furling the summer cinder... ') moves from simple regret to the terror of 'Profound incontrovertible disease'. Acumen shares with Outposts the problem of critical sharpness in its prose: some of its reviews, particularly of those perennial poets well-known ..."

The article notes: "Acumen is a beautifully produced, paper-back-format literary magazine founded in 1985. Editor Patricia Oxley states that her aim is "to publish good poetry in a critical context." The journal thus publishes articles on poetry, poetic reminiscences, reviews as well as poetry. Each issue of Acumen publishes up to 50 new poems and includes a separate, pull-out poster featuring the work of one writer. Acumen will publish experimental poetry if it's not too obscure, as well as narrative."

The editor, Patricia Oxley, of Brixham, says her aim was to publish good poetry from known and unknown writers, male or female. Yet she found an increasing number of manuscripts coming in were from women. Not only this, many of her subscribers were women. ...

The subject has to demonstrate that their contribution to the show was significant per that language in the SNG guideline. The sourcing here doesn't demonstrate that what Doom did on these reality shows was in fact "significant". Draglicious is an unreliable blog, and routine cast introductions don't indicate notability under this SNG. The Thai magazine article is good, but we need multiple pieces of evidence of this calibre to demonstrate significance.

Fails WP:NENTERTAINER, has so far been a participant in a single reality TV franchise, no WP:SIGCOV outside of that. WP:PSEUDO also applies. In the same way that we do not have articles for every participant on other reality shows (Big Brother for example), appearing on this show does not automatically assume notability. --woodensuperman 12:42, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

- That is not true, I am afraid. There are over 160 accredited MD-granting medical schools in the United States, and even more with other programs. Simply existing does not equal notability. https://www.2minutemedicine.com/counting-u-s-medical-schools-md-and-do-programs-in-2025/
- This particular institution, again, has no reliable independent coverage to meet WP:SIGCOV. It rather appears to be a shell entity of one of the biggest Medicaid fraud cases in the state, which I find quite unexpected - Prem Reddy. I take the name of this institution and Google it, and it shows nothing. While there are no issues with looking up media coverage of actually notable institutions.

- Hi @4meter4! I did not actually heck the sources you added. None of the sources seem to exist. Why is that so and where did you find them?
- Source 1 that you added, describing as an article is virtually a press release. De La Cruz, Rene Ray. "Helping Students Pursue Their Dreams: Dr. Prem Reddy Family Foundation Awards 84 Students With Scholarships". Daily Press. pp. B1, B2.
- Same goes for your sources 3. It is a press release made by the owners of the place. Caruso, Kendra (January 19, 2025). "What is in Store for CMMC? Though Prime Healthcare Foundation is Non-Profit, It Is Operated By For-Profit Prime Healthcare". Sun Journal. pp. A1, A6.
- And where is this source? "Saving Hospitals Starts With Getting the Facts Straight". The Los Angeles Times. October 12, 2014. p. A11. It is a brief passing mention that has nothing to do with the "notability" of a real secondary educational institution. It is nit that hard to prove notability and find sources to a notable educational institution that offer people "graduate degrees".
- Bottom line, so far, there is not even 1 independent article that would provide more that 100 words about this place to help establish notability beyond their own press releases , and re-published press releases. WestwoodHights573 (talk) 05:37, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
- By-lined journalist written newspaper articles are not press releases. You obviously did not read the sources either. They are viewable in newspapers.com.4meter4 (talk) 06:01, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
- I do not see you proving that journalist written by-liner. Can you share those? Source 1 is 99% press release, and it published in an absolutely different website. I am not sure if you are deliberately attempting to mislead people. https://www.vvdailypress.com/story/news/education/2025/06/24/dr-prem-reddy-family-foundation-hosts-scholarship-award-ceremony/84279901007
- If you cannot provide links to the real sources, unfortunately, I will have to remove those that you added, because they do not seem to even exist. WestwoodHights573 (talk) 02:42, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
- I provided you with the link to the website with those exact sources that are 99% press release, 50% interview of the subject, which is by no means at all - an independent reliable source providing in-debt coverage. WestwoodHights573 (talk) 02:45, 29 October 2025 (UTC)
- As an update: I had to remove those press-release sources. WestwoodHights573 (talk) 23:55, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- @WestwoodHights573:I reverted it because the sources were clearly WP:RS for these reasons: 1) All but one source has a by-line by a staff journalist which means they are not press releases 2) None of the sources were verifying anything controversial 3) The sources are from reliable newspapers with editorial boards. 4) The materials have original reporting not found anywhere else. 5) The articles were never published anywhere else as one would expect if these were in fact press releases. 6) Journalist written articles with partial interview text are allowable, and are not discredited as usable WP:RS as you seem to incorrectly imply here. If you disagree take it to the Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. I have every confidence that it will be readily obvious to everyone there that the sources in question are not press release but are independent reliable RS (particularly since the content cited isn't to the interview portions of the materials). Your source analysis skills are woefully off. Fair warning if you remove by-lined journalist written sources published by respectable newspapers again from the article I will pursue next steps which may involve reporting you for Wikipedia:Tendentious editing. It's one thing to disagree about source materials, it's another matter to gut an article at AFD of all its WP:SECONDARY references in a way that could unduly manipulate/ skew an AFD discussion by removing materials from community view. Lastly the first source is available for viewing through the Wikipedia Library in newspaper.com. It was published on July 3, 2022 so the url you provided above for an article published in 2025 is from a completely different article by the same journalist. Providing urls is not mandatory as offline materials or materials accessible only through subscription database access are perfectly legit.

Not yet notable per WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG.

And, even if they were entirely about the subject, wouldn't meet SIGCOV on their own. While I can find the subject mentioned in other news sources (independent.ie, rte.ie, Belfast Telegraph, etc) these types of passing mentions do not contribute to notability. The only sources which seem to deal with the subject as a primary topic are the types of "directory of pretty much every badminton player ever" entries that also don't contribute to notability.

Additional mentions found here, here, here, here, here, and here. That's only via retronews.fr, it looks like there's even more coverage on gallica.bnf.fr and likely other repositories.

It would be wholly unwise for someone to base their decision on what I was able to quickly find without others also digging with a bit of a specialty. Given that he lived in a pre-internet era in a non-English language country, we run the risk of our Wikipedia biases dictating our content here, especially if those who have less experience with searches like this ultimately dictate the outcome, which further reinforces those biases (more: WP:SBEXTERNAL). Not to pile on even more sources for a point that's not mine to prove, I took 5 more minutes and was able to find this fairly substantitive article and that he was the French national artistic gymnastics for three years running in addition to his Olympic appearance and further athletic mentions/accomplishments/reports here, here, here, and here.

- Comment. @Metallurgist: and @Gjb0zWxOb: How does this pass WP:EVENTCRIT or WP:GNG (which requires SECONDARY sources)? Contemporaneous reporting at the time of the event in the news is WP:PRIMARY. To become WP:SECONDARY coverage, sources must have distance from the event, and that doesn't seem to exist in the sources. (see https://libguides.ufv.ca/HistoricalNews which explains when news becomes secondary). I also question whether two separate rocket attacks are even necessarily the same event the way we have put them together here. This is why I thought a merge to Ashkelon could work.

The subject of this article does not seem to be notable whatsoever and the only sources used are from a since deprecated Iranian source. When I first reviewed this page for B-class it was flagged as only failing B4 grammar, however it was clear it was full of what was essentially Iranian government propaganda figures and claims backed up by these deprecated sources, as can be seen on the last version of the article before I first edited it. I propose this article for deletion for these reasons as I can't see how the subject is notable; the original Iranian editor clearly believed Safa deserved an article because he was a "Martyr" who died for Iran, as was his honorific prefix in the infobox before removal, but the lack of any reliable sources showing his notability say otherwise.

This article is largely a WP:CONTENTFORK of an isolated incident of a company with lots of history going defunct after a buyout. All of this information of the dissolution of Turner Broadcasting System is adequately covered at that company's page, and this fork article attempts to pinpoint select parts of that company's history and the fate of its assets together to justify its existence. Such "dissolution" articles are typically only warranted for regime changes, ie, the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and not business decisions, especially when they lack much sourcing and any critical commentary or analysis of any potential impact this decision may have had. Not everything needs its own article, and I would think many readers would expect to read more about this company's fate in the article about the company itself, not a spin-off one that is probably not as easily found or sought after. — Trailblazer101🔥 (discuss · contribs) 03:20, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

This is a very WP:MILL slow absorbtion of one company into another and just reads as someone who loved Turner axe-grinding via an article that their favorite company was 'taken out' and mourning about it, which is not an appropriately-toned article at all.

- You are right about WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, as for WP:ITSIMPORTANT if you want me to be more specific, as partly stated before:
- 1. The article is about the destruction of a cultural and religious building which involved multiple civilian deaths.
- 2. It received international coverage from various news outlets with articles dedicated solely to covering the event.
- 3. It received statements from non-domestic leaders, Pope Francis and Cardinal Pizzaballa.
- 4. It recieved post event coverage.
- I fail to see how the article is insignificant enough to be relegated to a redirect. Red Phoenician (talk) 02:55, 28 October 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. In addition to a flurry of international press at the time of the event, there was much coverage of the church during the Christmas and Easter seasons following.

Greek City Times. and Frayer, Lauren (December 23, 2024). "What the Israel-Hezbollah war did to Lebanon's cultural heritage sites". NPR. This article refers to the church as heritage site.

This article was recently deleted at AfD on October 6, but was quickly recreated. As I wrote then, she was a contestant on one season of one reality television show, where she was runner-up. Besides that, she's had a handful of fairly small-scale modeling appearances. Does not appear to meet WP:ENTERTAINER, and the fairly insubstantial coverage makes me skeptical she passes the WP:GNG.

- Olandria has since won the People's Choice Award from EBONY Power 100, she's been listed as a luminary by Cosmopolitan, and she has been recognized by Vogue and Vanity Fair. Additionally, a runway debut for a luxury fashion brand is simply not a "small-scale" appearance. Moreover, the sourcing claim is simply false. The sourcing has greatly improved, including a plethora of coverage from established magazines and news organizations, such as CNN, New York Times, Variety, and USA TODAY. All this certainly makes Carthen meet the entertainer and notability guidelines. There are articles on Wikipedia for people with less recognition and less coverage. Daring Dolphin (talk) 16:49, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
- All of this is the case from the previously deleted article as well, with the exception that Carthen had only been nominated for the EBONY award at that time. Being included in a magazine's top 100 list (or I guess named as a "special honoree" but not included in the list?) does not tip the scales to notability. Regarding "there are articles on Wikipedia for people with less recognition and less coverage": yes, but we are discussing this article at the moment. See WP:OTHERSTUFF. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 22:01, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
- There is no reason for her not to have a Wikipedia page. I literally just went on Wikipedia to try to figure out if she is 27 and she went to college for four years (18-21/22) and in college she was recruited to be a elevator sales person which she said in yesterdays podcast she did for 3 years (22-25)what did she do in the other 2 or 3 years… yes, she was found on reality TV. But she has tapped into something so much bigger and that should be acknowledged. 2600:4040:5F05:9600:1081:ECA6:6B0:56DB (talk) 12:26, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: This notion that nothing has changed since the previously deleted article is false. The previously deleted article (from September) did not adequately showcase her career since her appearance on the reality show, and the previous article had rather weak sources. There have been notable changes since then, which must be acknowledged as to why this article should not be deleted:
- - She made her runway debut in Sergio Hudson - a luxury fashion brand.
- - She won the EBONY Power 100 People's Choice Award, an award in which her fellow nominees included well-known actors, a politician, a musician, and an athlete, solidifying Carthen's notability as she won the award over them. And the magazine recognized her as such.
- - The new sources in this article, which were not in the previously deleted article, validate Carthen's notability and solidify her entertainer status. If being recognized by CNN, The New York Times, Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Cosmopolitan don't speak to her notability, I simply don't know what does.
- In summary, a lot has changed since the previous deletion (both in Carthen's life and in this article). These changes nullify any nomination for a deletion. Daring Dolphin (talk) 02:02, 21 October 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: I said last time that the Ebony (magazine)'s Power 100 was about to be awarded and in the meantime....she won the People's Choice Award.

Relisting comment: Could we see a source analysis table for this article as we have very different opinions here on the state of the article sources and whether or not they are sufficient for establishing notability, as Wikipedia judges notability.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 19:26, 27 October 2025 (UTC) - The case for retaining Olandria Carthen’s Wikipedia page is clear and compelling. Carthen’s notability is thoroughly substantiated by her high-profile modeling career, major brand partnerships, and consistent media coverage. She has secured a People’s Choice Award from EBONY Magazine, walked the runway at New York Fashion Week, and participated in acclaimed campaigns with brands such as UGG, Microsoft, and NYX Cosmetics—each covered by reputable publications.
- This level of achievement and recognition is not only significant in its own right, but it also meets the standards commonly used to justify the inclusion of other public figures. For example, Amaya Espinal possesses a comparable, if not less extensive, record of professional credits, yet her Wikipedia page remains unchallenged. The discrepancy in the scrutiny applied to Carthen’s page, as opposed to Espinal’s, raises questions of equitability and consistency within the notability guidelines.
- If the aim is to uphold Wikipedia’s standards, then Olandria Carthen’s portfolio—marked by industry accolades, media attention, and cultural influence—should be more than sufficient for her continued inclusion. Jessy4sho86 (talk) 21:39, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Based on multiple independent, reliable sources, including CNN, NYT, Deadline, etc, Carthen receives significant coverage that is clearly focused on her television, professional, and cultural contributions. She has been recognized and awarded for those contributions, as an influencer, TV personality, and model, by Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and EBONY Magazine. A review of both in-depth and partial sources demonstrates that she meets Wikipedia’s general notability guideline for entertainment figures (WP:N).— Preceding unsigned comment added by Daring Dolphin (talk • contribs)
- Delete. Clearly fails WP:BLP1E.4meter4 (talk) 05:11, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- Not truthful that Olandria’s career surrounds one event. In the Wikipedia article, as it currently stands, the first paragraph in her “Career” section is focused on her stint on the reality show. The following three paragraphs focus on her career moves after her TV appearance, including her modeling career, and sources highlight that as well. Carthen has been specifically acknowledged and praised for not being a one-hit wonder and building a career as a model and influencer outside of the show. Therefore, I don’t believe it’s fair or accurate at all to state that the subject is tied to solely one event. Daring Dolphin (talk) 14:10, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

- (Articles linked in paragraph)
- Carthen has partnered with mutiple companies and spoken on multiple campuses, solidifying her career as an influencer. She made her runway debut for a luxury fashion brand during New York Fashion Week in September. She has modeled in brand campaigns as well. She's been awarded by EBONY for "her impact that extends far beyond reality TV" and awarded by Cosmopolitan for "entertain[ing] the masses". She's been acknowledged and covered in-depth for demonstrating how to build influence that lasts. Carthen started on reality TV, yes, but she has gone on to build a notable career afterwards. And time and time again in this deletion discussion, I and others have provided multiple sources that highlight that career and contribute to the general notability guidelines.
- And I also think it's pertinent to highlight a point we keep circling back to: During the 1st nomination of deletion of this article, deletion was justified (then) because it was very early out from her TV stint and there was limited notable coverage. That has since changed, which is why the second submission of this article was approved for creation. Notability has been established, significant coverage has been granted, and sources have been provided, improved, and assessed (now at length). Therefore, this current article simply does not warrant a deletion and should be kept. Daring Dolphin (talk) 16:19, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

- Delete/redirect What "significant media coverage" has this person received outside from their own community? A People's Choice Award does not signify "significant media coverage."

I would take this discussion more seriously if it wasn't proven already that the subjects fans have orchestrated public campaigns on other sites (most notably X) to keep this article up. Doesn't help that many Wikipedia users were harassed and targeted by these same fans for voting to not keep the article. Also, the last time this article was created, it was made up of entirely AI. Administrators also detected multiple sockpuppet accounts voting multiple times to keep the page up. If this behavior persists they will be pinged again.

- - As listed in source assessment table, CNN, The New York Times, Deadline, and USA Today are not tabloids.
- - There has been limited involvement of the "Subject's fans" in this deletion discussion, compared to previous deletion discussion. Current article was approved by Wikipedia user, and multiple Wikipedia users have stated the article should be kept in this discussion, adding to consesus.
- - Can confirm that this current, fleshed out article, as it stands, was not written with AI. Daring Dolphin (talk) 03:26, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Is there more sources from CNN, NYT and Deadline? Or is it just those provided? I see multiple from Cosmopolitan, Variety and Vogue. Kokaynegeesus (talk) 16:16, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- I kindly advise you and all users participating in this deletion discussion to view the source assessment table that was provided per request. The source assessment table provides a list of sources that are independent, reliable, and showcase significant coverage of the subject. The SA table also proves that this article has changed from its prior nomination (as coverage has grown and sources have improved) and that the subject meets the general notability guidelines.
- With the source assessment table, @Katzrockso’s extensive analysis of sources and arguments presented in this discussion, and the input provided by multiple Wikipedia users, I believe consensus has been reached for the article to be kept. The main arguments for it to be deleted/redirected have been rebuffed. With that in mind, and in line with Wikipedia’s recommendations (WP:RELIST), I would advise against prolonging this discussion and/or relisting this discussion once again.

- Is there more sources from CNN, NYT and Deadline? Or is it just those provided? I see multiple from Cosmopolitan, Variety and Vogue. Kokaynegeesus (talk) 16:16, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per the WP:GNG. That the subject is notable is quite well-established by the sources given in the source assessment table above (despite several issues - several sources like Essence and Ebony provide more marginal WP:SIGCOV because larger portions of the content are derived from interviews, but I think the CNN, Deadline, Montgomery Advertiser articles establish notability most definitely in the context of the 1E, and the Deadline, Variety, and USA Today articles demonstrate that the notability goes beyond the 1E), that I doubt anyone can convincingly rebut. The more legitimate argument here is that the article fails WP:BLP1E, given that a large amount of the sourcing surrounds her coverage as a contestant on Love Island. However, as noted in WP:BLP1ENOT, in order for an article to fail WP:BLP1E, all three criteria must be met, and I would argue all three fail. Reliable sources cover the person in contexts other than the 'one event' (the game show) - see e.g. her coverage for the runway debut. She is not a 'low profile' individual - she was already an Instagram influencer with a substantial number of followers before even the show, from what I found online, and she has only increased her high-profile figure following the show, where she has engaged in many interviews, etc. Finally, the third prong would require that her "role within the event was [either] not substantial or well-documented". I think her role in the TV show was both substantial and well-documented. Well-documented is obvious from the extensive coverage on her, but substantial from the fact that she was in just about the entire show, finishing second place and sparking a lot amount of the media coverage with her relationship with costar Nic - she was not a minor character pushed out in episode 1 or a staff member.
- As for the previous AfD, editors did not analyze any sources found in a WP:BEFORE search, so either they failed to find the same sources that were identified by Daring Dolphin here or the lack of analysis of sources means the !votes are mere WP:JNN.
- For the record, I have never watched this show in my life and have no plans to. Katzrockso (talk) 11:17, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

I can find no evidence that this person meets WP:BASIC. The best source I can find is from Michigan State University. Others are less helpful in a notability context. This obituary comes from a small publication where Krysa had a weekly column, so I don't think it's independent. There's also a local news Q&A, which is effectively a primary source. There are other scattered mentions of Krysa out there, but none focus on the man himself (nor can I find sources that support much of what's in the article right now).

The review notes: "Kangaroo Jack: G'Day U.S.A.! is a very silly movie that, on occasion, veers into obnoxious humor. In other words: This movie is unafraid to use flatulence to garner some laughs. Much of its humor is derived from food fights, one-dimensional portrayals of, say, "surfer dudes," and slapstick-style violence. None of this is quite enough to carry the movie, but it's enough to keep families entertained, assuming this is their style of humor. Even when showing the plight of exotic animals captured by poachers, this is still, at its core, a cartoon caper. For families, the entertainment value of the film is inevitably dependent on how much they enjoy this kind of thing, and how much silliness they're willing to tolerate."

"I was all set to do the 'Kangaroo Jack 2' movie, and I don't want to pooh pooh the next film," he explains, "but a lot of people were calling me 'Kangaroo guy,' and it was a little tough to shake.

[edit]Category:Fictional bison

Category:Fathers of Medicare
[edit]- Nominator's rationale: Category for a non-defining characteristic. These people did not work together collectively to develop Canada's health insurance system, but rather each acted on their own in some capacity in different political bodies at different times, so they don't constitute a defined or organized group that get covered or analyzed in aggregate -- "father of medicare" is just a term that some of them have been labelled with, not an encyclopedically notable concept. Even the "head" article is based entirely on sources that individually ascribe the people with that term rather than sources which cover them all together as a group, so it doesn't demonstrate that there's a categorizable concept here either.

Category:Massacres in Albania by communist regime
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Massacres in Albania by communist regime to Category:Massacres in Albania

Category:Xn
[edit]- Propose renaming Category:Xn to Category:Wikipedia testing categories
- Nominator's rationale: "Xn" is a meaningless name as it is not clear what the "X"s are for. Additionally, not all entries are in that naming style, see Category:Test for category redirects. Open to alternative names. Gonnym (talk) 09:49, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Support to clarify that it's a container for the test categories and not a test category itself (I think). The name isn't meaningless though – the n is a mathematical placeholder for a number because the subcategories are named X1, X2, etc. But the name isn't clear.

- This category is fine but the name could be a little clearer. In 1946, the US Government intentionally sunk surplus WWII ships with atomic bombs but Operation Crossroads also involved a large number of support ships for coordination which were not sunk. The rename just clarifies that this is a subcategory of Category:Shipwrecks by type. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:30, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Category:Rivers with fish ladders
[edit]- Propose Deleting Category:Rivers with fish ladders
- Nominator's rationale: WP:TRIVIALCAT and WP:NONDEFINING
- A Fish ladder is a series of pools going up the side of a dam or other structures that allow fish to move past the obstacle. We don't categorize rivers by dams, so it seems trivial to categorize them by an accessory structure and this seems akin to Category:Rivers with bridges. (Incidentally, I went to create a category for the fish ladders themselves, but the only article I found was Pitlochry fish ladder.) - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:30, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- If deleted, it may be useful to add a list section in article Fish ladder. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:13, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
Redirects
[edit]Transpeptidation
[edit]- Transpeptidation → Transpeptidase (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Transpeptidase (disambiguation) → Transpeptidase (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Straight to the point – Reasons 1 and 5 of WP:RFD#DELETE:
Transpeptidation → delete
Transpeptidase (disambiguation) – three options:
→ 1: delete both target page and this redirect
→ 2: delete target instead, move its contents into this redirect
→ 3:[added. 12:30, 28 September 2025 (UTC)] make target into an article, make this redirect into an actual disamb page as named so.
Both link to a disamb page; you'd think the page with "(disambiguation)" literally in its name/title would be the disamb page, but no! It also doesn't make sense to redirect "transpeptidation" to "transpeptidase" – that's like redirecting polymerization to polymerase, and the latter is just a disamb page anyway (despite not having "(disambiguation)" in its name/title). I also don't think that a disambiguation for transpeptidase needs to exist; it's a class of enzymes, it's not exactly a "may refer to" situation since nobody uses the word to mean specifically a particular protein, unless they specified that protein. Since I don't have enough knowledge for either subject to make them into articles myself, I decided to choose deletion, hoping it becomes a red link somewhere for someone see and turn it into an article.
If I recall correctly, I only just discovered transpeptidation/-ase because I saw the former word mentioned in peptidyl transferase center, and I tried to wikilink that until I discovered... (Perhaps no wonder it wasn't hyperlinked?) And that's why we're here now. CheckNineEight (talk) 20:56, 26 September 2025 (UTC)
Note: @CheckNineEight: I've combined these into a single listing. I will update the link at Transpeptidase (disambiguation) so it points to this discussion. --MYCETEAE 🍄🟫—talk 00:03, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
- You might have also missed this: Transpeptidase – which serves as the {{R with possibilities}} rather than Transpeptidase (disambiguation).Can you also fix the link at Transpeptidation, by the way? CheckNineEight (talk) 00:47, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
- Keep
bothTranspeptidase (disambiguation). The reason we have redirects like Transpeptidase (disambiguation) is described at WP:INTDABLINK. Transpeptidation isusuallyoften discussed in the context of transpeptidases; the same is not true vis-à-vis polymerization. Perhaps a one-line description of transpeptidation could be added to the dab page although that might not survive clean up. It may be an {{R with possibilities}} but I'm not sure a description beyond what's in the enzyme articles is warranted. --MYCETEAE 🍄🟫—talk 00:16, 27 September 2025 (UTC)- No, because transpeptidation is the process of joining amino acids or peptides (peptide bond formation), and it's not exclusive to transpeptidases (e.g., peptidyl transferase center; i.e., the word is found on the following articles: Translation (biology), 23S ribosomal RNA). CheckNineEight (talk) 00:40, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
- No objection to deleting transpeptidation. --MYCETEAE 🍄🟫—talk 02:33, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
- I'm glad it's decided only Transpeptidase (disambiguation) should be kept. Also, I forgot that I had a 3rd option for that, which is: swap it with its target and make Transpeptidase – the one without the parentheticals – into its own article (no deletions, but no more redirect – just an article and a disamb). Speaking of options, I realized that I could have worded my original post much better, and I also forgot to put "(disambiguation)" in "Transpeptidase – two options:". (Can I edit my post?) CheckNineEight (talk) 05:09, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
- I think the 'transpeptidase' label is clear enough but you can edit it to add '(disambiguation)'. It's always good to exercise caution around changing the wording in discussion posts but in this case it isn't likely to mislead and you can always add an updated timestamp or make a note about the change. There's some general guidance at Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines#Editing own comments. Transpeptidase is a good candidate for a set index article. --MYCETEAE 🍄🟫—talk 14:28, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

Schmear
[edit]- Schmear → List of English words of Yiddish origin#Schmeer (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
A recent AfD closed with this redirecting to Cream cheese. The closer noted that there was some disagreement about the proper target and suggested further discussion could occur at the talk page or RfD. Shortly after the AfD closed, the original nominator unilaterally retargeted this to their preferred article, which received limited support in the original discussion. Following a brief discussion at Talk:Schmear#Where to redirect? and on my user talk page I am bringing this here for more visibility and input. I will notify AfD participants and suggested target pages.
The proposed options are:
- cream cheese
- List of English words of Yiddish origin
- Bagel and cream cheese

- Retarget to Bagel and cream cheese where the word is defined and appears multiple times, including in the second paragraph of the lead and in an image caption. This has more detail that the other page and provides relevant context. The other meanings in Yiddish are likely of less interest to the average reader but a link to the entry at List of English words of Yiddish origin#Schmeer could be placed in Bagel and cream cheese.

Dawans
[edit]- Dawans → Sigismund-Helmut von Dawans (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This does not seem like a useful redirect - only one "Dawans" currently on en:wikipedia, and although it is a relatively rare name, there are multiple articles on other persons with this name on other language wikipedias, including one with a highly similar name to the current target (see Wikidata, fr:Adrien Dawans, de:Sigismund von Dawans). If not redirect, could be a short disambiguation page. Shazback (talk) 05:36, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Disambiguation with interlanguage links seems the best solution. -- Reconrabbit 18:06, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep The purpose of redirects from a surname is to assist the reader who can only remember the surname or who does to wish to type out the full name. They are used either when Wikipedia has only one article about a person with the given surname (this case) or because one individual is the most likely topic sought by this surname. See WP:RKEEP #6.

- Post Cycle Therapy → Ergogenic use of anabolic steroids (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Not mentioned at target. An article at Post-cycle therapy was redirected per Afd and it doesn't appear that any content was merged. The only mention of the phrase occurs at exemestane but I'm not sure that such a specific topic would be a good redirect target for the term. Deletion may be best. Mdewman6 (talk) 05:00, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Per a cursory Google search this terminology is associated with anabolic steroid use. It's possible that an article could now be written or sufficient coverage could be added to an existing article (WP:RETURNTORED) but the unsourced content in the 2009 article is a poor starting point. It's certainly something people may search for and sending them to an article that doesn't cover the topic is unhelpful. Pointing to one of many drugs that can be used for PCT is also unhelpful. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 15:47, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Pages are not just limited to articles; they are also categories, files, templates, etc. I should also note that Wikipedia:PfD redirects to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion. I believe these redirects should be retargeted somewhere else, maybe Wikipedia:Deletion process#Deletion discussion venues. Also, tell me if there are redirects similar to the ones being nominated that I missed. Thanks, 1isall (he/him) (talk | contribs) 14:13, 25 October 2025 (UTC)

- What we now know as Project:Articles for deletion was for Project:Pages for deletion for about a week at the end of August and start of September 2005. I myself briefly favoured "pages" over "articles" (as can be seen in the contemporary archives of Project talk:Articles for deletion) which were two of several suggestions, until people came up with the idea that became Project:Miscellany for deletion that satisfied the concerns that led to a preference for "pages". People ran the deletion mechanisms with "Pages for deletion" as the name for that week, until we adjusted what the templates were doing (c.f. the same contemporary discussions), making per-article pages and per-day pages with "pages" in the names. There was likewise a Category:Pages for deletion.
I created Project:Miscellany for deletion at the end of August (Special:Diff/21961239), and the process switched from "pages" to "articles" a short while later. We had already split out images, categories, and other stuff by that point (two years beforehand in the case of images for deletion), so it is not the case that "pages for deletion" ever encompassed things that were not pages, such as images.
I have no attachment to the shortcuts that were created a decade or two after the fact, but the actual Project:Pages for deletion redirect is correctly targetted, as it currently stands, at where both it and all of its sub-pages (Special:Prefixindex/Project:Pages for deletion, including the per-day pages for that week) actually ended up being renamed to.
And yes, pages are not limited to articles. As one of the several people who brought up this point 20 years ago, e.g. at Special:Diff/21958405, I can confirm that none of us who made the point back then has been worried that we've had redirects from "pages for deletion" to "articles for deletion", reflecting the actual history, for all of that time. We've likewise not been worried that Project:Votes for deletion and a similar lot of sub-pages redirect to the same place, even though, 20 years ago, the fact that "votes" are not "articles" was a point similarly made back then. As one of the people who did the work, and even made the point, 20 years ago, I think that it's a little fussy to re-argue it over the redirects that resulted, and inconsistent to argue it over merely one of those many redirects.
- Keep Wikipedia:Pages for deletion as a former name for for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Target the WP:PFD redirects to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion as an abbreviation for Wikipedia:Portals for deletion. -- Tavix (talk) 20:18, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget all to Wikipedia:Deletion_process#Deletion_discussion_venues per @consarn. Unless there is a historical projectspace page that describes that AfD used to be Pages for deletion, we should not add a hatnote per @Pppery. On Wikipedia, every namespace is composed of pages. The "X" in "XfD" functions as an "insert page type here". Retargeting would also maintain consistency with the averarching category for XfDs, Category:Pages for discussion. The fact that AfD was Pages for deletion for a single week from August–September 2005 does not justify retaining the redirect twenty years later. I've never seen MfD referred to as "Portals for discussion" or "Portals for deletion" so oppose retargetting any of these to MfD. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:34, 2 November 2025 (UTC)

So ... Lucid? Delete as hopelessly ambiguous. Steel1943 (talk) 19:51, 19 October 2025 (UTC)
- To be fair I'm thinking this is because a lot of disambiguation hatnotes on Wikipedia-- and elsewhere-- start with "not to be confused with". 𝔏𝔲𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔫🌙🌙🌙 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔐𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔬𝔫𝔦𝔢𝔰𝔱 (talk) 21:52, 19 October 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. This is a common phrase that does not have a corresponding encyclopedia article. I was astonished to see what this targets. The article does not even describe the most common uses, which are for different words that are spelled or pronounced similarly or concepts that are often confused or conflated (which may have very dissimilar names). —Myceteae🍄🟫(talk) 01:34, 20 October 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Just because a corresponding encyclopedia article doesn't exist doesn't mean there doesn't have to be a template/redirect. (That is very common (such as
{{Uw-move3}}). Plus "Not to be confused with" is what the{{Distinguish}}hatnote produces. Cyber the tiger🐯 (talk) 02:57, 26 October 2025 (UTC)Just because a corresponding encyclopedia article doesn't exist doesn't mean there doesn't have to be a template/redirect.
If there is no content whatsoever on the topic or if the intended meanings are too numerous for us to identify an appropriate target than we absolutely should not have a redirect. "Not to be confused" is an extremely common phrase that appears in over 18,000 articles without need for explanation. Many common dictionary words and common phrases don't have encyclopedic entries and don't make for good redirects even if they are so common that we think readers may occasionally search for them. As for the hatnote lingo, the vast majority of readers are not attuned to wiki-jargon which makes it a very poor basis generally for deciding redirect behavior. And {{Distinguish}} aka {{Confuse}} is not even the hatnote used to resolve cases of potential word-sense disambiguation so making this connection is an odd leap even for those in the know. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 19:06, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

At least in terms of Wikipedia usage "Not to be confused (with)" as a phrase is used in the sense of disambiguation, and because disambiguation is redirected there it makes sense for this phrase to lead there. Furthermore, from there there's a hatnote to the corresponding Wikipedia policy. It's simple and straightforward enough to keep the redirect.

- Nominator follow-up: I meant to chime in sooner, but here I am now, about a week or so late. The comments stating this redirect is proper due to it referring to what this phrase might mean within Wikipedia is totally meta to Wikipedia. What I mean by that is there is no expectation that the average reader who is searching this term is intending to find the current target. My nomination statement is to illustrate. This phrase could refer to something else, which illustrates it as ambiguous. In other words, if this redirect was titled "Wikipedia:Not to be confused", I could validate it existing and targeting something within the "Wikipedia:" namespace, but the same expectation cannot be set in the article space as there are other encyclopedic concepts which this phrase could refer. In addition, this phrase without the word "with" at the end is ambiguous; if the word "with" or "for" were added to the end of this phrase, I would've never started this discussion, but as it stands, this redirect is missing one of those key words at the end.

[edit]Witch Beam
[edit]- Witch Beam → Unpacking (video game) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Witch Beam is a video game studio that has developed at least two notable games (Unpacking and Assault Android Cactus). Two months ago, a redirect was created to one of those games, but a redirect here implies that the studio is only known in the context of the one game. I filled out the redirect with a short stub and was reverted by the redirect's creator. We should either have an article on the studio or a redlink with no prejudice against article creation, since there is more than one potential redirection target. Chubbles (talk) 04:44, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- I don't see much independent coverage around the studio itself that are not separate from its games, and one game is more well known than the other with their articles reflecting that. From what can be seen at the first expansion edit at the page, there just isn't much for an article to be needed. Go D. Usopp (talk) 05:54, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- A user searching for Witch Beam will be redirected to Unpacking with no ability to ascertain that Assault Android Cactus is related to the search, despite the fact that we have content about the latter game as well.

There is no mention of "Gaza massacre" in the Gaza war article like there is for the 2008-2009 war, so oppose this. For context the following "Gaza massacre" redirects include; Gaza Massacre (2008), 2010 Gaza massacre, Gaza massacre (2012), and Gaza massacre (2014), thus there is a logic to a disambiguation page that includes not only the war articles but also outliers such as 2010 Gaza flotilla raid.

Is slang for a user of anabolic steroids, but not mentioned at target. Soft redirect to Wikitionary, add sourced mention to target, or delete? Mdewman6 (talk) 00:02, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. The slang usage is easily found online (in unreliable sources per my cursory search) and appears to be the main meaning although there are other uses including a juice company and a song mentioned at Jeff Freundlich. The slang term doesn't appear especially notable and the target article currently does not discuss other slang terms. Both redirects have had barely any views in the last decade: 109 and 249, respectively. Juice Monkey has ≈2.2x as many hits which *maybe* is accounted for by the existence of a few non-steroid-related entities with this proper name. Forcing a description into Anabolic steroid won't improve the target article and is likely undue. A wiktionary redirect seems unnecessary given the lack of traffic to either redirect. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 16:13, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
