Doesn't appear to meet WP:BIO.
The article is about The first doctor from the United Arab Emirates to specialize in cardiology for pediatrics, which appears to be very specific and not something worthy of notability.
She is also the chairperson of some committees, but they don't appear to be of importance. I couldn't find any information on the internet to verify notability. Lolekek (talk) 17:17, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment She is the first female doctor in her field which in UAE might be quite a significant achievement. However, I cannot find WP:SIGCOV other than the sources already mentioned in the page. As a researcher she only (co)authored four papers. Broc (talk) 19:11, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The achievement doesn't seem to have translated into in-depth coverage in reliable sources, which is the main thing we're here to evaluate. (I checked in both English and Arabic and didn't find anything; although I suppose it's possible there are Arabic sources I'm missing, that possibility isn't enough to affect my !vote.) As there's no apparent argument for an WP:NPROF pass, delete is the right outcome here. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 01:00, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG. The articles in Nigerian newspapers (Guardian, Telegraph, Vanguard, Sun) seem to be undisclosed paid articles, which appears to be a common practice in the country, see Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Nigerian_sources_on_paid_article. The Benzinga and Yahoo Finance references are the same article (the Yahoo article being a reprint of the Benzinga one). It doesn't look like a sponsored post, but opinions on the reliability of Benzinga seem mixed ([1]). The Bloomberg "Profile and Biography" is akin to a wikidata entry and contains almost no meaningful info, and doesn't count towards notability. AvBuyer is a marketplace for aircraft and not a source that would indicate notability. Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:47, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I'm calling BS on this. An American person, with apparently no connection to Africa or Nigeria, is extensively covered in Nigerian media.

Delete The heavy reliance on the seemingly-paid sources makes this article reek of self-promotion, and the lack of secondary sources reinforces that. All of that is not to mention that the article is literally orange-tagged for paid contributions. The Kip 01:35, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Calbia

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

An unsourced article on a non-notable fictional location. I can find no actual significant coverage in reliable sources that discuss this fictional country - the best I can find are mentions in summaries of the one story it appeared in. As far as I can find, the reference to a Thomas Fortenberry making comparisons to Marvel Comics in the last paragraph is just based on comments on this page, which is obviously not a reliable source. As the one story that the location appeared in does not have an article on its own, I can find no suitable redirect targets as an WP:ATD. Rorshacma (talk) 23:17, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find definitive proof of any notability of this man. Most of the google results are for a professor of engineering, but that's a different guy who passed in 2023. The lack of a Polish wikipedia article, while not a deal breaker, is a bit suspicious. The handful of books appear to be the other guy as well. The only source I found was [4] but it appears to have mostly been pulled from here and they outright say there that there's almost no information about him.

Delete. I found some additional sources, all in Polish: https://bcpw.bg.pw.edu.pl/Content/5595/PDF/02ik39_nr2.pdf, https://genealogia.okiem.pl/powstaniec-styczniowy/71126/zdzislaw-celinski, https://przegladpolskopolonijny.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/przeglad-polsko-polonijny-nr-5-6.pdf. But they don't really support his notability, so I vote for deletion. Bendegúz Ács (talk) 00:16, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. First hit in Google books has a paragraph long coverage of him [5], with a footnote to a popular history magazine. Since it is from 2006 and cites a 1931 article in said magazine, no citigenesis here. He is mentioned in several other sources as well [6]. Seems like a WP:TROUT for the nom for failure to do a basic Google Book search. PS. The '39 source found by Bedeguz above also seems fine (reliable), although I see only a brief mention on the subject there. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:12, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I split this off from a poor article back in 2006, but didn't actually write it. It hasn't developed since, and that seems to be because there is a lack of reliable sources and no evidence it is notable. It's not even covered in Robert Alexander's International Trotskyism, which is generally a good source for such groups. Warofdreams talk 23:11, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Axborough

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

I can find no indication that "Axborough" exists. The OS mapping 1:25k has an "Axborough Wood", but not a settlement called "Axborough". The article has been unsourced since its creation in 2005. (I came across it while working on the Unsourced Backlog project, where I'm going through the intersection of Unsourced and Category:Mountains and hills of the United Kingdom.) PamD 22:01, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of England-related deletion discussions. PamD 22:01, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Further WP:BEFORE: Victoria County History of Worcestershire has nothing except the single sentence, under Wolverley parish, "Axborough Wood on the east is a plantation made since the Inclosure Act in 1775." Genuki has nothing. Vision of Britain is offline today. PamD 00:12, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There's Axborough Wood (listed by Ordnance Survey as a wood not a settlement), Axborough Lane, Axborough Edge, Axborough Farm, Axborough Lodge in Wolverley and Cookley parish but no settlement called "Axborough" even though its been marked as a hamlet on OSM (doesn't seem right). No presumed notability under WP:NPLACE. This article is about Axborough Hill for which I've been unable to find any reference outside of Wikipedia mirrors etc (perhaps it was a local informal name?); the article may be misleading so unless other evidence turns up, have to recommend its deletion. Rupples (talk) 23:40, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Geography-related deletion discussions. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 00:17, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As noted there doesn't seem to be much evidence the hamlets exists even though its clear the featured named exist. There is however information on the history of the name of the farm which may make it qualify as notable. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:40, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- This further muddles things. The red dot on the map places the farm?/the hill? in a different location to the other Axborough-named features and links a farm (presumably that's what the 'Fm' stands for) to a hill of a different name. I've now found "Great Axborough", an arable field near to Wolverley in a 1796 auction notice. Various reports in connection with foxhunting do mention the name Axborough on its own, but don't specify anything further. Rupples (talk) 22:01, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - OK I see the map is north west of Cookley not south east where the other features are. Possibly it could be related namely the name was used for a large area years ago but otherwise its concerning so probably doesn't qualify as notable. I was about to !vote delete until I did a Google search and found the far source. It probably should be deleted but I'm not completely sure. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:34, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This article started out claiming that this was a village, in 2005. It's amusing that the real village there is Lea Castle Village which didn't exist when this article was written; and apparently it was a hospital before that.
There was a quite extensive Axborough Wood in the 18th century, per ISBN 9780851152769 page 122, next to what in the 9th century was Wulfweardig (Wolverley) Lea. That same book confirms on page 124 that Axbourough Hill gave its name to the Farm and the Wood, and they are both where this article claims them to be, and has the important sentence when talking about the Wolverley boundary at Axborough Hill that "The adjacent land was open common waste until 1778.". I'm sure that the "spurious" charter of A.D. 866 by Burgred to Worcester monastery laid out in Della Hooke's book has a happy place in the Wolverley article if Crouch, Swale or someone feels like pushing that article back 2 centuries using this new source.
But as for this article: All this is in a study of land charters from pre-Norman Conquest times. No village. Ever. Delete.

Strong Keep. Meets WP:NLIST. The subject of the list has been the object of coverage as a group.

Definite Keep, for reasons already stated by the above users, Scott is a prominent filmmaker, and it's useful to cover a aspect of his career (in this case, unmade films) in a separate article as it would seem out of place on the director's main page and since it is a vast amount of information. More than that, there have been countless articles which cover the topic by major publications and websites, which should back up why it's relevant to even have an article dedicated to such subject in the first place. The article also meets WP:NLIST so I see no reason why there's even a discussion of its deletion. ZanderAlbatraz1145 (talk) 3:00, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

This subject article is supported with news articles that will provide its legitimacy. Therefore, this shall not be deleted, but instead additional citations must be added. AtorniYormeJKLlamera (talk) 02:57, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Politicians at the local level of office are not "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to pass conditional notability standards that hinge on demonstrating the impact of their political careers: specific things they did, specific projects they spearheaded, specific effects their stint in office had on the development of the town or city, and on and so forth. But this is basically just his résumé, and features virtually no content at all about his impact.
And a local politician having the merely expected level of run of the mill local coverage is not, in and of itself, an inclusion freebie either — every local politician has local coverage, so if that were how it worked then every local politician would get an inclusion freebie and nobody would actually have to be measured against NPOL at all anymore. So, again, the notability test for a barangay chairman is not "he exists", it's "he has a compelling reason why he should be seen as a special case of significantly greater importance than all the other barangay chairmen in the Philippines", and nothing of that calibre has been shown here. Bearcat (talk) 20:58, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

City councillors and vice-mayoral candidates aren't "inherently" notable either, and still have to clear the same high bar as I pointed out for barangay chairmen. The lowest level of political office that automatically guarantees a Wikipedia article to every holder is the provincial legislature, and there's no such thing as automatic notability at the city level at all.

Speedy keep WP:SK3. Together with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Richard Gray (literary scholar) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthony Guest, the third of a series of pointy and bad nominations by a nominator who refuses to accept the validity of WP:PROF#C3 (which Beal passes). If the nominator will not stop doing this on their own they need to be prevented from continuing this bad pattern. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:01, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
How does he pass C3 for Prof, I can't find sourcing to support this. Sourcing is rather scant to be honest. Nothing in RS. Oaktree b (talk) 00:34, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do you see the first piece of text after his name in the article, FBA? It is linked. Go learn what the link means. Also go re-read WP:PROF#C3, the part that says "For documenting that a person has been elected member or fellow (but not for a judgement of whether or not that membership/fellowship is prestigious), publications of the electing institution are considered a reliable source.", and then notice that there is in fact a footnote linking to exactly this kind of source. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:46, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did and I didn't understand what it was. So again, how does he pass C3? Oaktree b (talk) 21:26, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And a one line citation is fine, but we need more than that if you want to keep an article here. Do you have anything else besides a one-line listing? That's not enough for the article to be kept. And please keep the snark to yourself. Oaktree b (talk) 21:28, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Satisfies WP:PROF as a Fellow of the British Academy: [8]. He also has a festschrift ("In the Prayse of Writing: Early Modern Manuscript Studies: Essays in Honour of Peter Beal"). He also satisfies GNG and BASIC. He also satisfies AUTHOR, with multiple periodical book reviews, such as: [9][10] [11] [12][13][14] [15][16][17]. James500 (talk) 08:27, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Perhaps passes Prof C3, but with no sort of extensive sourcing beyond a one line mention in a repository, we don't have enough to keep the article. Perma-stubs aren't really what we're looking for in Wiki Oaktree b (talk) 21:29, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are now as guilty of both failing to apply our notability criteria, and of failing to apply WP:BEFORE, as the nominator. The FBA link is more than one line. It is already enough by itself to satisfy our notability requirements. And if you want plenty more material to fill out an article (and to satisfy another notability criterion, WP:AUTHOR), search JSTOR for published reviews of Beal's books and peruse the many hits that you get. Please make more of an effort. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:08, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't nominate the thing. Oaktree b (talk) 13:18, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And there's no reference in the article saying he's an author, I wouldn't expect to find this. Oaktree b (talk) 13:19, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Again, see WP:BEFORE. Notability is based on what is available as sourcing, not on what is already in the article. WP:DINC. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:26, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is and always has been a list of his books in the article. —Noswall59 (talk) 21:51, 6 February 2024 (UTC).[reply]
Keep re Oaktree b's comment: The thing that matters in AfD is notability, not the size of the article. If the subject passes Prof C3, then it's notable, and shouldn't be deleted. Toughpigs (talk) 06:18, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But we need sourcing, we don't have that. Oaktree b (talk) 13:19, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As you have already been told, the article already contains sourcing adequate for its content and adequate for our notability guidelines, and additional sourcing is plentiful beyond the article as it stands. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:27, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And I also asked to be explained how he passes C3. I'm not in the UK so have no knowledge of how important or unimportant a thing is unless you can explain it. You've thrown a bunch of stuff at the proverbial wall, without really explaining any of it for the lay person. Likely passes the AUTHOR notability, but the lack of civility is concerning; we're aren't here to attack ppl. Simply answer what's been asked and let's move on. I have no interest otherwise. Oaktree b (talk) 21:32, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And I already explained how you could find out the answer to your question: click on the FBA link and find out what the BA is for yourself. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:43, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did, and it didn't make much sense to me, we don't have an honours system here. Not sure what we've accomplished at this point. Oaktree b (talk) 00:42, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your user page suggests that "here" = Canada. Canada certainly does have honorary membership in academic societies: Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada for a start. As in the UK, they are sometimes written in initials immediately after the name: see List of post-nominal letters (Canada)#Academic orders, societies, academians. The important thing is the selectivity of the level of membership in a society, not so much the way it is written. People with an FRSC, at least, would also pass #C3, because the RSC reserves that honor only for top Canadian academics. Other societies from that list might also pass on a case-by-case basis. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:02, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oaktree b:

1. WP:PROF#C3 says, "The person has been ... a Fellow of a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor."

2. Beal is a Fellow of the British Academy, which is a major scholarly society for which that is a highly selective honor.

3. Therefore, Beal — a Fellow of the British Academy — satisfies C3.

I believe that this answers your question. Toughpigs (talk) 21:46, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep, WP:SK3, stunningly bad and highly erroneous nomination statement. (1) ANYBIO is the wrong notability criterion; he should be evaluated by WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR. (2) I see no evidence that "He works at The British Academy". The link given contradicts that, stating his current post as emeritus professor at the University of Essex. (3) FBA is a clear pass of WP:PROF#C3. The NAS and RS are for scientists; the BA is the corresponding institution to the RS for literary scholars, among others. (4) the nominator is very confused over whether coverage being "routine" makes it "primary" (no). And there is nothing excepting routine coverage in GNG.

2. https://www.kcl.ac.uk/people/anthony-guest - this is an academic profile but he wasn't a named chair or a distinguished professor so it fails WP:NACADEMIC

3. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/50906/page/5769 - This is a routine press announcement that he passed the bar like many run of the mill lawyers do. Plus, it's a routine press announcement so it's primary.

Plus, The British Academy isn't the same as a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Physics) so again this fails WP:NACADEMIC Signal Crayfish (talk) 16:56, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep (as creator). Guest is one of the leading experts on English contract law; he held a full professor at King's College London, one of the UK's leading universities; was elected a fellow of the British Academy, the UK's national academy for the humanities; and was appointed CBE and Queen's Counsel, significant state honours. He also edited several leading textbooks in his areas of specialism. If he is not eligible for an article here, I am really not sure how many living non-celebrities would meet the threshold. I'm going to address your points in turn.

1. Who's Who is a selective biographic dictionary produced by Oxford University Press, one of the foremost academic publishers in the world. It's inclusion criteria and editorial process is found here and states that:

"An invitation to appear in Who’s Who recognises distinction and influence. ... The holders of some posts, such as MPs, senior judges and high-ranking civil servants, are invited to have an entry as a matter of course, when the appointment itself is of general public interest. For those who do not fit into these categories, a Selection Board meets regularly during the preparation for each edition of Who’s Who to discuss potential entrants. The Selection Board reviews those people whose professions are less rigidly structured, such as artists, actors and sportsmen, as well as professors, scientists and businesspeople. Prominent figures in numerous fields are considered by the Board on the basis of their continuing achievements, and ultimately selected due to their exceptional pre-eminence. Where necessary, the Selection Board consults those with specialist knowledge."

2. WP:NACADEMIC#5 says that holders are presumed notable if "The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon." We don't have distinguished professorships in the UK and named chairs are very rare, at least in the humanities; the highest academic rank is professor, and in my experience this has normally been seen to meet WP:NACADEMIC#5 for UK academics (will see if I can find some AfD discussions to demonstrate this, but leaving this here for now).

3. This is not referring to him being called to the bar; this records his appointment as a Queen's Counsel (or King's Counsel now that we have a king in the UK), which are "barristers or solicitor advocates who have been recognised for excellence in advocacy. They’re often seen as leaders in their area of law", according to the Law Society. In fairness, I don't feel that every KC/QC should be presumed notable to the degree that they all need articles, but this is a significant professional award which, in combination with his other achievements, cannot be summarily dismissed here.

4. This is the official record of him receiving the CBE, which is a fairly high-ranking and quite exclusive UK honour; it's particularly rare for academics or lawyers (other than judges) to receive a CBE.

5. The British Academy IS the UK's national academy for the humanities and social sciences. Election to its fellowship is a highly exclusive honour; in 1993, when Guest was elected a fellow, he was one of only 36 academics to receive this much-coveted status.

Furthermore, Guest's extensive publication list suggest that a great deal of critical engagement with his legal work should be found in scholarly articles and reviews; I don't think, for all the reasons listed above, that this is necessary to establish notability, but a quick search should settle the matter if others disagree.

Keep. Entry in Grove Music Online ([19]), entry in The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Music, entry in Contemporary Composers ([20]) -- meets WP:GNG. Jfire (talk) 02:19, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Satisfies GNG. For the purpose of our notability guidelines for authors, there is no such thing as a "routine" book review. This article is not about an organisation. A book review can be "insignificant" if it is so brief and short that it is not lengthy enough to pass GNG, but it cannot be "routine". James500 (talk) 08:55, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I can fix the Grove Dictionary of Music link (sorry, my mistake, the link was to my library access portal), though it's a subscription service, so the whole article won't be available. Brown is retired now but was at RAM for 40 years and retains links to King's College. He is a composer of many substantial works that (especially choirs) still perform, so there's a need for reference material. The two main reasons I added the article were that 1) many links to the American composer Chris Brown's entry should actually have referred to the British Chris Brown (I have now fixed them), and 2) The new recording of his 24 Preludes has just come out, and new reviews are likely to come out over the next few months - with other works likely to be recorded as well. He was the teacher of at least three blue link composers and of at least one more that would justify his own entry. There's room to expand the article by going into the music in more depth. On the Lennox Berkeley link, there's no need for independence here - LB was a very famous composer, the proof that he taught Christopher Brown is not disputed. The link was included to help explain how Berkeley influenced Christopher Brown's music.Sfjohna (talk) 12:37, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The PhD dissertation talks little about the subject and are in the footnotes as much as in the body, which is weak.

Comment. This article in Israel's most-sold newspaper counts toward notability. It's a SIGCOV and RS description of the comedians/content creators by two journalists, without interviewing anyone. gidonb (talk) 15:42, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gidonb: How? "The "Shugar Zaza" thing about Pokémon undoubtedly draws on the personal experience of Trager and Paz, who even managed to predict the madness that will take over the world more than six months in advance" I don't see SIGCOV there, regardless that the source is RS. And, a single article along with aformentioned dissertation still seems too low for GNG. Chris Troutman (talk) 17:54, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is based on analysis of their outputs, strengthening the SIGCOV. Also, did you notice that you are answering to a comment, not to a !vote? It makes your comment that this is just one source a bit premature, doesn't it? gidonb (talk) 18:04, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"did you notice that you are answering to a comment" Yes. "...a bit premature, doesn't it?" No. Sometimes I decide to let editors cast wrong !votes and say nothing. Other times when I see someone saying something like a given source is SIGCOV and I don't see it, I ask how. I examined each of the citations present and did a BEFORE search ahead of this nomination, so it doesn't seem to me unreasonable to question why other editors would interpret sources differently. Normal people ask questions and discuss. If you take offense at my questioning of your logic, maybe AfD isn't for you since argument is typical in these discussions. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:16, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why would I take offense? I found one valid source that counts toward notability. That's not enough for a keep yet maybe a beginning for the next person. Therefore it was a comment. You have every right to comment below my comment. So do I. gidonb (talk) 19:11, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Passes the GNG. The sources are the most-sold newspaper of Israel and Israel's newspaper of record. The characterization of the Haaretz source in the intro as a passing mention is a complete mischaracterization. That entire article is about the activities of this couple and how these were received (badly). There is much more coverage of this duo but these are two SIGCOV RS sources that satisfy the GNG. gidonb (talk) 03:43, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Oaktree. It's a common comment for Hebrew and Arabic sources. These are very concentrated languages.

Keep: Haaretz, Ynet and Walla are leading media. The TV coverage was also made by some of the most watched channels. It is important to remember the proportions of Israeli media and entertainment industry. Sugar Zaza's videos have made very impressive viewing numbers (especially in comparison to the potential of Hebrew content). Their works are some of the most popular and notable viral hits in Israeli web. They also have one of the longest ongoing careers by Israeli independent content creators.

However, the parts about their international success certainly do require additional sources. JamesB007 (talk) 12:26, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify I see no problem with the content of the article per se, or the fact that it may have been machine-translated (rather good quality if so). However, it appears that the specimen has not actually been classified yet - it has not received a binomial (genus and species remain unassigned). See the article here [22], unfortunately in Japanese only. Under these circumstances, I don't believe we should have an article about the fossil.

Possibly Move to "List of informally named non-dinosaur fossil reptiles" or such a page? Japan have multiple undescribed reptile fossils, such as another plesiosaur Hobetsu-araki-ryu, Since there are many unnamed materials of pterosaurs, plesiosaurs etc from the world, I assume it is reasonable to create page like List of informally named dinosaurs. While this and Satsuma pterosaurs are pretty important for Japanese paleontology topics, but sadly to be honest I don't think it would be enough notable in English Wikipedia until described.

Hasn't played professionally since 2020 and insufficient coverage for WP:GNG or WP:SPORTBASIC in my searches. His name is "Δημήτρης Ρασπάς" in Greek. Phile News mentions him scoring in the Europa League and then going on military service. Since that military service, he seems to have disappeared into the amateur tiers of Cyprus. Phile News mentions him again in 2022 but it's just a transfer announcement with no independent analysis. There are further copied and pasted transfer announcements in subsequent years. In 2023, we have Sport FM and, in 2024, we have Cyprus Times. Transfer announcements that are copied and pasted from the club websites are not acceptable for SPORTBASIC.

The references I checked are either broken or don't support the claims they are footnoting, and I had to remove some potential libel that failed verification.

Keep. This seems to be a legitimate topic in foreign affairs, and it seems to be decently cited.

Delete - The article covers a topic that should be part of either Caroline Sturdy Colls or Treblinka extermination camp. The latter already has a already a section for archaeological studies, which clearly mentions these archeological surveys and findings, referenced by a BBC article authored by Sturdy Colls. I don't think there is a significant amount of information to be taken from this page which is not already included or has been considered by editors beforehand on either page. Shazback (talk) 04:20, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is clearly a notable topic and it encompasses more than just Colls' work on the Treblinka camp.[26] Both the essay-like tone and reliance on a limited number of (perfectly good) sources are surmountable problems and deletion is not cleanup. – Joe (talk) 12:34, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Article looks fine. While I note the nominator's concern over advertising, I'm not seeing evidence. It's a state school, so do not immediately see a promotional angle. It's been written differently from most AfD'd schools, which tend to concentrate on facilities offered. This provides content on the school's history/background. Granted, sources are not great but one should take into account the possibility that offline Bengali language sources exist especially given the school has been in existence in various forms for 150 years. Based on this and existing sources, I'm giving a weak pass of the GNG. I'm also aware there's an apparent conflict of interest. The article creator's user page states they previously attended this school. I don't on the face of it see this as a big problem, given the way the article's been written.

Comment Most of the information mentioned in the history section is not cited by any online or offline source. The editor is trying to add and keep a website as the official website, which is made by the alumni of the school. Significant coverage was not found. GoddessFG (talk) 03:02, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Article has written impartially or neutrally. I don't see anything promotional here. In the article editors focused on its history and I think it is connected with the education history of Bangladesh to a great extent. It is right that some content is not coverd by reference. This article is translated from Bengali Wikipedia where many sources are not cited, but the editors have cited some source here. In this case, the article can be kept by removing the unsourced materials and keeping the sourced material. And I can't see any evidence about the website being unofficial and website is not used as a source in the article. As the website's domain is a country top level domain prefixing .edu so, I don't see any possibility of it being unofficial. That's not a big problem.

  FootballPakistan.com covers the league with complete depth, as it can be seen here [https://footballpakistan.com/category/local-competitions/karachi-football-league/page/3/] if I search by the hashtag there are like 80 articles (10 per page). It is a completely independent platform from the Pakistan Football Federation covering Pakistani football since 2003. Throwawayjamal047 (talk) 14:25, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  That's an extremely rude and unwarranted response User:Altenmann. I'm surprised you've been here 20 years, and still don't know about the 5 pillars and that civility is paramount. I can only respond to what you say - not what I might have thought you meant. I thought you were dismissing these sources as non-independent - perhaps under some misunderstanding that the Pakistan media is government-controlled (which sounds kind of whacky - but we have had others make that argument for other nations!). Still, it's pretty clear from the discussion below, that there is significant independent reporting - so why have you not removed your "vote"? I'm also surprised that people think that any professional league would be not notable. We've had debates before about teams who were semi-professional, and players that are semi-professional - but I can't recall ever discussing an entire semi-professional league!

23 January 2024 Russian strikes on Ukraine

It's enough, for two years we have not created pages for these individual mass waves of attacks against Ukraine and kept them instead at Russian strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure (2022–present). This standard was first broken with 29 December 2023 Russian strikes on Ukraine, I proposed its merger however it had been the largest of such kind of waves and most people opposed the proposal, fair enough. Then 2 January 2024 Russian strikes on Ukraine was created, unlike the earlier this one was a regular wave and its article remains very short, I've proposed its merger and for now enjoys widespread support. And now this article was created. At Russian strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure (2022–present)#Timeline you can see how there have been several dozens of these types of attacks, just look at the see also section of this article, we cannot and should not give articles to each of these attacks, much less after two years since they started.

Keep – The article, as well as the aforementioned previos ones, was created shortly after the attack had happened to show all the details and to bring civilized world's attention to continuing russian war crimes and atrocities towards Ukraine. Articles may be transferred in the general page but only with all of the vital information kept in there. The main preference is still the detailed information.

Television Style Awards

AfDs for this article:

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

My WP:BEFORE can't find any independent coverage, cites mostly to primary sources and the article doesn't attempt to demonstrate notability, only a WP:DATABASE for the awards going from 2015-2017. I don't believe this meets the advice at WP:NAWARDS nor the policies of the GNG. The article lists current as 2024, but the sources website for that says that this is the first year these have been present. So I get the sense that this might even be the conflation of two different but similar events with the same generic name. I'll note that the page was previously deleted, it would be best to review the comments there as well: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Television Style Awards microbiologyMarcus ^{(petri dish·growths)} 17:31, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adrian Stoica

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

Just a dog trainer who has participated in some TV shows. I don't see much notability. By looking up Adrian Stoica on Google and scrolling down a bit I already get results from different people named this way. I also found no sources from 2022 or before talking about him after looking up his name. I had to use a more specific search in Romanian and got some sources which don't look like the most appropriate [47] [48] [49]. I do not believe this person is notable.

keep notability asserted: "six-time disc dog world champion", won a talent show and continues to compete. Also, there is enough detailed coverage, e.g., here. - Altenmann >talk 02:48, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into America's Got Talent (season 18). This strikes me as WP:1E. Unless there is significant coverage separate to the show, the present article, including Stoica's background and linking his participation in America's Got Talent: Fantasy League, could be adequately summarised in a few sentences in America's Got Talent (season 18). IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 20:56, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- IgnatiusofLondon (talk · contribs), I found Italian and Romanian sources from before his 2023 appearance on America's Got Talent (season 18). They are La Provincia 2014, Sala 2018, and Morosi 2016, and La Stampa 2017. Cunard (talk) 10:56, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Cunard's excellent sourcefinding. IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 11:41, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.
