Does not seem to meet the current version of WP:NBAD as being runner-up in the Egypt International is not enough to gain a free pass from having to meet WP:GNG. When searching in Belarusian and Russian, I am unable to find any significant coverage. Plenty of coverage comes up about a Russian ex-policeman called Vladimir Vorontsov but almost nothing about a Belarusian badminton player of this name.

  • Delete sources in article and BEFORE fail to show anything meeting IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV). BEFORE showed nothing that meets SIGCOV, game news, database, promo.  // Timothy :: talk  02:41, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article appears to fail WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. A large portion of the sources on this article are primary and not independent of the subject. Some of the sources listed fail WP:SIRS, for example citing Google Maps as a source for it headquarters and making up information not present (linking a TikTok account as a source for their marketing and not an independent one) and citing an online flyer. A good portion of the body of this article has WP:INHERITORG, as the sources list expensive items sold on the website without providing context to the subject of the article. The only significant coverage present on this article is related to a controversy regarding some of their products being received in bad quality, but still fails WP:ORGDEPTH.

This article was created and primarily edited by 2603:6080:7C40:5E0:0:0:0:0/64 and User:Jeffhardyfan08, with the range and the user being checkuser blocked. Also to note, this range has vandalized the article multiple times and the associated talk, maybe qualifying this article as a G10 if it was made to act as a sandbox for vandalism. Noting this information, I can say that this article was made for the sole purpose of promoting the subject in a suspicious manner and a quick Google search shows no general notability other from one controversy and sales of items online, which is standard for an ecommerce platform and not notable by itself.

  • Delete. I removed some of the worst content from the article, but didn't have the confidence to nominate it for deletion myself as amongst the majority of poor sources that do not support notability, there are a small number that do provide independent, reliable, in depth coverage (independence being shown by being critical of the company). I'm persuaded by Jennytacular's argument that poor reviews will exist for most e-commerce companies and aren't enough to meet GNG. I believe the article was created to garner publicity for the company, though that might have backfired. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 10:36, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This item has been moved to mainspace after earlier draftify. Several versions of this item have seemingly been created and the creator has received a final warning in respect of disruptive page moves. The topic could possibly prove notable in the longer term but it is not suitable as it stands for publication. Sourcing is poor and a 'naive' search does not reveal additional SIGCOV. In view of the history a discussion is warranted. Eagleash (talk) 22:40, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Hardly a "government in exile" as grandiosely claimed; it's basically a self-declared breakaway movement centred around single individual. This page's title and whole raison d'être are blatantly WP:POV. Worth reiterating that the page only got into mainspace because its author wouldn't wait for the AfC process and kept moving the page out of draftspace unilaterally (for which they are now indefinitely blocked). If, for some reason, this shouldn't be WP:TNT'd, it should be redirected to Simon Ekpa at the very least. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 00:10, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Didn't seem very hard to find articles about this telenovela, including the Spanish language version of this article including a citation that it was listed in Radio Times Magazine as #4 of their top ten list, probably some time around July 2006.[3]. There are articles about how this series was a launching point for several successful actors, from 2019 [4], an article about the work environment of the series, from 2017, [5], an article about an independent network was going to rebroadcast the popular series, [6], and I stopped looking. I'm not a fan of telenovelas, so I won't be editing this article myself, but it looks like it meets WP:GNG to me. RecycledPixels (talk) 16:01, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Interesting choice of a stat to bring up in the AfD... I searched that. I found "According to NamUs (National Missing and Unidentified Persons System), more than 600,000 persons go missing in the United States every year. Anywhere between 89 percent to 92 percent of those missing people are recovered every year, either alive or deceased".1 So she'd be in the ~60,000 not found. It's not about her having been reported missing in the first place, but remaining missing so long after that was reported, and what's happened after. I haven't researched much or reviewed sources yet and so I won't vote, but... half a million people going missing doesn't mean 0 of them are notable.

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

Does not meet WP:GNG. A search on Google, ProQuest, Newspapers.com finds no significant coverage, production information, nor critical reception. Per WP:NSONG, "a standalone article is appropriate only when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article." Everything about this song can easily fit in Ryan Starr.

I have doubts about the Billboard chark peak; the Digital Songs online archive goes back to October 30, 2004, and it is not listed, nor is it in physical issues. Billboard had a regular column about the Digital Songs chart, and certainly if it had sold 130,000 units in one week (which is unsupported by the MTV reference, by the way) that would have been noted. A search of Billboard on Google Books shows nothing for this song. Perhaps it was issued for free on iTunes and that's why it reportedly sold so much. I believe previous editors have confused topping the iTunes chart with topping the Billboard Digital Songs chart. Heartfox (talk) 16:30, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Ryan Starr#Post-American Idol music career: Worth noting WP:RSP's entry on the Guinness Book of Records which says it doesn't provide for notability. The MTV article (archived here) seems to base its number off of Guinness so I'm unsure that's reliable either. Without more sources, the origin of that downloads number seems suspect. And, of course, you'd be relying on just MTV for notability, and that alone is definitely not a GNG pass for this song. Redirect target has significant prose on the song with room to add more if anything here is of value and worth saving. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 19:28, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect. If it sold 130,000 units in one week in 2004, it 100% would have appeared on the overall Hot 100, not just number one on the Digital Songs chart. The page also claims that Starr gave an interview to MTV in which she "confirmed that the single had sold at least 360,000 units", but the web page (as shown in the archive link by QuietHere above) shows Starr didn't say that to them, they brought up the Guinness claim and the figure themselves. The book source quoted for making this claim has a footnote that first cites Starr's last.fm page (lol) and then cites this Rolling Stone "Where Are They Now?" article about American Idol contestants, which was published in 2011 and most likely took the claim from the Wikipedia page or the MTV article. It should be noted that the Wikipedia article claim of the Guinness record pre-dates the MTV article (this revision pre-dates the May 2007 MTV article by six months), so I think we're seeing a textbook example of how writers and journalists trust Wikipedia's claims without independently verifying it. It's basically all built on BS claims (thanks to @Heartfox: for uncovering this tucked away on a former American Idol contestant's page, I say). Just to note: I've gone ahead and removed the claim of going to number one on the Billboard Digital Songs chart from the article and attributed the Guinness claim solely to MTV, even if it seems pretty obvious the source for this claim was Wikipedia itself. Ss112 20:31, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Also, check out this original version of the article by the editor Aceofhearts: [7] Cute made-up quotes from Entertainment Weekly and Rolling Stone and an individual song rating from AllMusic too! The next month, they decided to "add information from the Ryan Starr Wikipedia article", which was inserted by an IP editor, who said they "added a very exciting peice of information from guinness book of world records. quite impressive." and appears to be the original basis of the Guinness claim. This is how misinformation spreads to reliable sources: Because somebody made something up on Wikipedia in 2006 and nobody questioned it. Ss112 20:57, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    (Technically it wouldn't have appeared on the Hot 100 because downloads were not incorporated into the Hot 100 formula until February 12, 2005. Nonetheless, it seems like all the claims are fabricated. I didn't come across the page; it was through a redirect by Aoba47 which was reverted and then mentioned in a move proposal).

Redirect to Ryan Starr#Post-American Idol music career: Thank you for the ping. I do not believe there is significant coverage on this song in third-party, reliable sources to meet the notability standards.

  • Delete The sources that could be found, in English or Bengali, are passing mentions, not significant coverage. The reception section, full of poor machine translations, is particularly problematic. It glues together brief platitudinous remarks about actors a decade or more later: "got a lot of love from the audiences", "made a name for himself", "came into the limelight", "very appreciated", and similar statements without foundation. The Daily Naya Diganta makes a cryptic reference to an actor receiving an "award by an organization", but significantly doesn't name the organization. It wasn't any of the notable awards. I suppose any group can make up an award. There are no reviews of the film, and no evidence that it did well at the box office, had a substantial run in theaters, or has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:27, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

South Central Pennsylvania (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The region of South Central Pennsylvania (SCPA) is not verifiably notable because it exists only as a colloquialism at best. It's composition has not been and cannot be well sourced here, and the article as it has been is an assembly of facts about the places that supposedly comprise SCPA, and the majority of these are unsourced. The citations that currently exist only regard a road between Philadelphia (notably never considered SCPA) and Lancaster, a dialect spoken only in specific groups in specific regions of supposed SCPA, and two pieces of media filmed in, but not about, supposed SCPA.
Previous versions of the article use an unsourced list of counties and an editor's own illustration to depict a specific list of counties as being SCPA. After some research I was able to find no consistent pattern of organizations describing SCPA, except that Dauphin and Cumberland counties are usually included. Below is the list of the best sources, in no particular order, I found that could even be used to describe what SCPA is.

  1. The Pennsylvania Visitors Network, an unofficial .com site, describes a region named PA Dutch - Amish Country, named in reference to a culture greatly associated with SCPA, which is in the region generally described as SCPA. [1]
  2. The Cumberland Area Economic Development Corporation describes SCPA as Cumberland Valley [...] and the surrounding counties[2]
  3. The Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania names SCPA but describes it as a region further west than most definitions, notably excluding Dauphin and Lancaster, two very important counties to the rhetoric of SCPA.[3]
  4. The 2022 Congressional Districts of Pennsylvania are bound by population balance, and the districts are unnamed, but regardless are the most official divisions of regions greater than a county available.[4]
  5. The PA Department of Transportation seperates the state into 11 unnamed districts. District 8 bears a strong resemblence to what is frequently referred to as SCPA. [5]

I am aware that much of the above is unfit for use as a citation in a good article. Any additional sources I've found are much more obviously unfit for inclusion in Wikipedia. I make this point to show that material referencing SCPA is very thin on the ground and of what little is available, sources constantly disagree with each other. While the term South Central Pennsylvania is very familiar to residents of the area, it is not identified in any capacity that allows for us to consistently create an article about it. I.e. if we cannot say what is or is not SCPA, we can't say what can or cannot be included in an article by that title. I propose that any sourced facts on this article not already included in the articles more relevant to them, be added to such articles, and that this article be deleted.

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football, and Greece. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 13:58, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The Greek wiki article for Lekatsas lists "Νικος Λεκατσας: Το Καμαρι Της Νικαιας Και Του Πειραιως" (Nikos Lekatsas: The Arch of Nicaea and Piraeus) as the main source for the article, while also listing "Εθνική Ελλάδος πορεία μέσα στο χρόνο" (National Greece course over time). This, in my opinion, is similar to a number of British football articles for players at this time, who also have book sources listed. Lekatsas was a Greek international, and undoubtably picked up coverage during his playing career. Also, Greece had just come out of the Second World War and a Civil War at the time, so I imagine archiving footballing articles wasn't at the forefront of anyone's mind.

  • Keep. Poor translation of the sources above, let me help. The title of the article in the sports magazine Athletiki Echo reads "Nikos Lekatsas: the pride of Nikaia and Pireaus". I have no access to this article but the high praise in the title essentially indicates that this article is SIGCOV and further sources are likely to exist. The book source given in the article (The Greek National Team through the Course of Time) is pretty generic, I don't know how in depth the coverage of Lekatsas is, but all in all, it's pretty obvious that a solid WP:BEFORE is essentially impossible here due to multiple factors (old age of sources, poor digitisation of Greek sources, barriers regarding alphabet and an intervening language reform etc.). The WP:GOOGLETEST doesn't really suffice so I'll err on the side of presuming notability based on what we have. --GGT (talk) 21:36, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Two database records and two refs another wikipedia that no one can verify is not enough to support an article.  // Timothy :: talk  23:56, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    I mean, just because it's difficult to verify for people who don't live in Greece, it doesn't mean that no one can verify. WP:SOURCEACCESS exists for this reason. The editor who added the magazine citation to the el.wiki article appears active, if one doubts that this article provides SIGCOV, contacting them would be a more constructive place to start as opposed to dismissing the source. The book is also available to order (including for international shipping) online. There is no arbitrary accessibility threshold that sources should meet to support an article. GGT (talk) 20:21, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Biographies need quality sourcing and this individual may be still alive, WP:BLP states, "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV).

First you reviewed the article, now nominated for deletion? I don't know what are you thinking, with all due respect. This is a chairperson of public servant post. It is a well known post. I don't understand why nominated for deletion. Normal rookie (talk) 11:45, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is the norm for reviewers to mark the article as reviewed when nominating the article for deletion. The review merely let search engines to index the article. At this stage, you can say that the reviewer (not just Onel, I would too) has given up reviewing by themself and is letting the community decide if the article is notable.
Your response suggest that the post is notable. Notability isn't inheritable on Wikipedia for most cases. With the current sources, I don't see how the subject is notable, if the only thing of note is his appointment, which can be easily summarised and shown at Chairman of the Election Commission of Malaysia.
If there is no improvement made to the article, i.e. addition of other sources to establish the notability of his prior appointments (better yet if these appointments had let to a wider societal impact), I am inclined to nominate this article as a delete. – robertsky (talk) 13:46, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edited to add LVZ, features in Sportbuzzer about the FFV bankruptcy and collapse and her role in co-founding FC Phoenix Leipzig, stories on Phoenix's run of promotions from 2017 to 2019 and their Saxony Cup and Pokal runs against higher-division teams (and Lübcke's match-winning goals in those Saxony and promotion runs). There's much less out there about her current role on Türkiyemspor Berlin, but the FC Phoenix story is significant and her role in it significantly covered, and the LVZ story on the promotion match was print-only as far as I could find, so there may be more offline sources for someone with more access than me. At the absolute worst case, there's plenty here to create an article on FC Phoenix Leipzig due to their unusual story, include Lübcke's role in it, and then redirect to it if this AfD still passes. -71.34.68.140 (talk) 02:43, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for this. I've struck the top of my statement and will WP:AGF with regards to LVZ, as I can't access it.

Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 08:51, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I had a run of good luck with the Sportbuzzer caption tip that led me to the FC Phoenix Leipzig stories, which then unraveled the rest. I managed to cross-reference a dated copy of the print article on the sports section front that was posted as a scan elsewhere, but LVZ's online archive paywalls everything from around that time, so I can't confirm if there's an online equivalent. German paywalls are a struggle.
Also, Sportbuzzer and LVZ both seem to share the RND network, so the Sportbuzzer content might just be aggregated or syndicated from LVZ among others. RND's EIC is Sportbuzzer's managing director. -71.34.68.140 (talk) 15:56, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing the problem with the La Perla del Sur link I had added via this edit here. I have corrected the error via this new edit here. The link I previously intended to include was this one. You may want to re-check it now.
As for your response to my comment above where you clarified that your "semi-decent" comment referred to depth of coverage and not to the quality of the publication, I will take that be your personal opinion and perception as you didn't include any source to back up your statement. In any event, in discussion of this nature what matters is whether or not the source, Primera Hora (PH) in this case, is a WP:RS, and the editor who posted it obviously believes it is. I will second his believe, btw. Of course, if anyone believes PH fails WP:RS, WP provides this forum to challenge that.

    User:AntonioMartin The policy on this, as I recall, is once 7 days have passed without further valid comments. The last such entry made as on 21:19, 5 May 2023, so the earliest (i.e., even the 7 days is not a mandate) would be 21:19, 12 May 2023, if there are no further valid comments made in between. BTW, not sure "valid" is the wording used in the guideline but, as an example, asking "can an admin or uninvolved editor please close this discussion?", would count towards the 7 days, that is, such entries wouldn't "reset" the 7-day clock back to zero.

    User:onel5969 Have you been to the article since you posted your AfD? It has been edited 15 times by 3 editors and, in the process, the number of cites in the article have doubled from 7 to 13. If you haven't, then I suggest you go there first. If you have, then I am not sure what world you are living in that you are even talking about votes when the mere upgrade to the article makes this discussion moot at this point. Please get real; votes become fundamentally a nonissue if the article has been brought up to standards. And, frankly, IMO, the article already met standards when you posted your AfD anyway and, speaking for myself, upgrading the article further was done because I was thinking we were dealing with a reasonable editor, which you do not appear to be.

  • Merge to List of Puerto Rican television series. The show is verifiable, but there doesn't appear to be enough to demonstrate notability. I was hoping to locate an entry in a book about children television shows or something similar, but all that I come up with is the Primera Hora article. I would be fine with draftify, but if this remains in mainspace this should point to the list article. A line or two from the article would be all that entry needs I think. If other sourcing appears (likely to be off-line sourcing I imagine) the article can be broken back out. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 02:25, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with minor changes. There's a lot of reliable records cited here for the proposed existence of this clan and it's widely discussed in anthro circles. The history of the Romani ppl is complex and I think having this separate article with some modifications would help main articles re: Romani people from getting too "in the weeds" genealogically.

  • I don't actually question that the town exists. But I don't think your sources are great. Google Maps for example is not needed. The police blotter item is also I hope not serious. The list of towns in the district at least supports the sentence that says the place exists though, but if you want to use the source about the garbage problem you should write a sentence about that, especially since I am going to also remove the sentence about the completely different town. Which leaves us an article that says that the place exists and possibly also that it has a garbage problem. Surely we should do better than that. Also, I am willing to believe this is the same thing as "Pindi Bhattian" but this is not exactly self-evident and should be referenced. Elinruby (talk) 10:51, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:GEOLAND requires a place to be legally recognized and populated. The sources show that is the case. Obviously, populated places have garbage problems and crime issues. Also, as other participants argued, stubs are okay for existing towns. Moreover, as you are the nominator, you should not remove newly added sources and decide on your own what source is good and what is not. Let the community decide now. Insight 3 (talk) 11:29, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Pindi Bhattian is a municipal committee and the subject is a town committee of District Hafizabad. As I have already mentioned the source:Local Government & Community Development Department. Insight 3 (talk) 11:46, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
well, we don't use Google Maps as a source, period, from what I understand. If there is a rule that says the nominator should not remove sources, then I apologize; I rarely nominate anything for deletion, and it hasn't come up before in the AfDs in which I have participated. But here is my issue. We say that this town exists in this district, but the casual reader clicking the reference link finds a police blotter item about a suicide in the district, which does not mention the town, and a list of towns in the district that does not include the name we are using for this town. It seems like people feel I am being dismissive, which is not intended. I am actually somewhat interested in that part of Pakistan, although I don't claim to know much about it. But surely we can do a little better than this town exists and it has a garbage problem? There must be some history, given its location. Since someone has sorted out the sentence that was confusing me, I will actually volunteer to spend some more time on this in the databases. Maybe the article needs to be renamed? In any event the name I was searching was the one the article is using, and if we can do better with that name, I am even willing to withdraw the nomination. if that's appropriate. Fair enough? I won't be available to do this for several hours though. Elinruby (talk) 23:13, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article has been mentioning the District Hafizabad since its creation in 2010, so the town's name is actually "Rasulpur Tarar", not just "Rasulpur" which is in the Rajanpur district. If this is your concern, then it should be resolved now per WP:GEOLAND. As far as, I have searched, there are no articles about this town's history and other details. There is an Urdu book which must contain some history of Rasulpur Tarar as one of the district's towns:"تاريخ حافظ آباد" (The History of Hafizabad). And the source I cited earlier does mention town's name: According to police, Iram Bibi of Rasoolpur Tarar ....
Some news coverage in the Urdu sources is: [25], [26], this is all I believe for this town. There is also a page about this town on ur.wikipedia. Insight 3 (talk) 03:52, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Moved the page to Rasulpur Tarar since that's the full and complete name of the above village in the government of Pakistan records and also mentioned in the existing sources at this article.Ngrewal1 (talk) 15:35, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. While an article may pass WP:GEOLAND, WP:SNG states that topics which pass an SNG are presumed to merit an article, though articles which pass an SNG or the GNG may still be deleted or merged into another article, especially if adequate sourcing or significant coverage cannot be found. Therefore, even though this place has been confirmed to exist, it doesn't necessarily preclude deletion on lack of sources for encyclopedic material, so the nomination has foundation in policy.
Nonetheless, on balance I'm moved to keep in the expectation there's likely material to expand the article. As a start, here's one uplifting news story that could be included [27]. Rupples (talk) 00:29, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

His programmes are available in the BBC archive, and it would be unfortunate if Wikipedians decided that only written material could be counted towards notability.

  • Delete I found NO independent sources about him that were substantial in nature. I did find a few mentions in The Guardian, but mostly he is name-checked in articles about shows or other topics. I can't tell if he is the same Gareth Mitchell who founded a company called tree2mydoor.com, but I don't think so because none of the articles about that mention his BBC work. The WP article uses references incorrectly, mostly as original research on facts, such as linking to a show site to support that he had a show in which a celebrity appeared. All of that would need to be removed from the article. I did go through and hack out some really egregious things like a tweet saying that he has a brother (really?!) but I don't think that the article is salvageable unless someone finds some strong independent sources. Lamona (talk) 01:53, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Gareth Mitchell has been a technology broadcast journalist on the BBC world Service for nearly two decades as well as reporting on the UK domestic BBC radio 4. He is unusual in that as well as hosting radio programs he also teaches others at the beginning of their career via his courses at Imperial College London thus meaning his contribution to journalism is greater than it may initially appear. He is recognised by the Worldwide Association of News Publishers [10]. Being a primarily radio journalist it is not surprising he has few written articles however the form of his work should surely not preclude someone with a worldwide audience from continuing to have a page on WP.

Delete. It was I who tagged this for notability in 2019. I have just been through the existing references again and I cannot see three decent secondary sources which talk about Mitchell, rather than being interviews or links to programmes in which he appears. It doesn't look to me as if he meets WP:JOURNALIST, points 1, 2 or 4, or the doubly-defined point 3 (that is, he has created a body of work, but I don't see that this has been "the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" in reliable sources).

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Time to WP:TNT this failure to have an article about something. We don't know what we are writing about. Let's figure that out first through discussion and drafting. Currently, the name says one thing, but the article itself says something else. The subject, as indicated by the title, that we're now fabulously stuck with for process reasons and the subject as outlined in the prose are not at all the same. Just as it was with the old name (which had indicated a WP:WORDISSUBJECT topic). It can be reasonably thought that the article confuses our readers and does not provide valid encyclopedic coverage of anything as it is incoherent and devoid of substance. The reasons for this go way deeper than the naming concerns, and are about the subject and content—or lack thereof.
While there are long-lasting disputes on the talk page, the article has never been truly written. This pseudo-article fails Wikipedia:Write the article first: it arose from a desire to have a specifically titled article, but not nearly enough effort was put into filling the resulting page with encyclopedic coverage. There have been multiple comments for years how core coverage of the social phenomenon is lacking (what it is); this was never resolved.
Notice the lack of a body section about what it—whatever it is—is.
Apart from tragic structural deficiencies in coverage, this being a difficult and exceptionally sensitive subject to write about: the quality of coverage in all its parts (irrespective of the nebulous overarching topic) is subpar.
Whatever editors agree to have an article about, some content should be reusable, so TNT doesn't imply that we should start again from a blank page. Draftification may be appropriate. There is no deadline, and while this is being worked out, it is better to offer nothing to our readers than something as unworthy as this. —Alalch E. 02:02, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, per the abundance of reliable sources discussing the phenomenon of terrorism committed by actors claiming adherence to Hinduism. Absent demonstrated verifiability and original research issues, this can be handled in mainspace; we aren't even close to TNT territory. This AfD is a terrible idea; a dispute over the name doesn't change the underlying topic, on which there is broad agreement, and the OP was a previously uninvolved editor who opined at move review, subsequently moved the article without consensus, and then came here after their move was reverted while an RM is open to handle the title issue. Alalch E., I genuinely don't understand your motivation here, but you need to take a step back from this. I strongly recommend withdrawing this AfD, as it is a needless timesink.

Muscovite manorialism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

WP:TNT. WP:OR, Template:Essay-like, has had Template:Inline citations issues for 18 years ever since it was created in 2005. Superficial improvements since have barely been able to fix these issues. I was looking for ways of fixing them, including splitting it into 2 articles for before and after 1240, but fundamentally, this article is just not about what its title says. In an article about manorialism, one would expect information about, you know, agriculture, along the lines of fortified manor house(s) in which the lord of the manor and his dependents lived and administered a rural estate, and a population of labourers who worked the surrounding land to support themselves and the lord. There are small hints of that until halfway the second section, when the word 'manorialism' disappears from the text, the topic switches to military history, and we get an opinion-laden evidence-lacking argument about why Muscovy was "strong" and Kievan Rus' was "weak" (tantamount to violating WP:NPOV). Ironically, the "Muscovite" part is not about manorialism, and the "manorialism" part is not about Muscovy. It's just not worth trying to fix this mess, more than 75% will have to be deleted and the rest thoroughly vetted. Therefore, I think WP:TNT is best.

Delete I'd delete, this is too far gone to be kept. It's an essay from the early days of wiki. Oaktree b (talk) 15:15, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
