July 2020
[edit]- America Needs You nominated at AfD; notified Anotheruser384 (talk · contribs) 05:17, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a press release. The references , are either general ones about charitable contributions , or pure press releases
- Luchy Donalds nominated at AfD; notified MarkCarey911 (talk · contribs) 20:36, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: It does not appear that any of her films are notable ; ThereforeThe references amount to mere publicity
- Freeman Osonuga nominated at AfD; notified Kaizenify (talk · contribs) 21:33, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: This had no consensus a month ago. The individual claims to have received a number of awards, but it is not clear which are real, or what are the actual accomplishments. The internationally important Award claimed in the article is false. He was not named Time person of the year in 2014. A unspecified group of people, several 100 of them , were named "Person" of the year for their practical work in fighting Ebola . 3 or 4 of them were named in the magazine story's film on the web, which is the specified reference. he was not one of them. He might be one of those named in th print issue but that doesn;t make him Person of the year, He has been named as a finalst for a spacetrip. He'll be notable , but only if he is actually selected and goes. He received several national awards, but I do not know how distinctive they are. He founded an advertising network. He was named on a list of influential people , among 100 other people some of whom are actually influential. This is pure PR, which is bad enough, and reason for deletion. But it is also PR based on dubious claims, which is certainly reason for deletion, and, I would say, salting as well
- Juno Healthcare Staffing nominated at AfD; notified Maygrachelle (talk · contribs) 12:26, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: insufficient evidence for notability . Placement on these very unselective promotional is not sufficient to meet WP:NCORP: It needs references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements
- Vijay Kumar Berry nominated at AfD; notified Siddsg (talk · contribs) 16:23, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Consensus has beenSingle award at the second highest level is not sufficient--see WP:WikiProject Military history/Notability guide The sources for this one are particularly week
- Public Oversight (United States) nominated at AfD; notified Lord Milner (talk · contribs) 19:02, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: pure advocacy, no references
- Hamish Thompson nominated at AfD; notified Florapostewrites (talk · contribs) 16:29, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: This is primarily self advertising, and there is no evidence for notability-- Except for two minor awards, and a number of mentions. Most of the article consist of his own claims for his ownwork
- Resident (company) nominated at AfD; notified GoogliGo (talk · contribs) 01:56, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite extensive editing, this remains essentially advertising for borderline notable company most of the references are blatantly and obviously promotional
- 2020 International Conference on Imam al-Maturidi nominated at AfD; notified TheEagle107 (talk · contribs) 02:38, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: individual conferences are not usually considered to be of encyclopedic importance.
- Draft:Marisabel Bazan nominated at MfD; notified Jess-Molnar (talk · contribs) 02:43, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: highly promotional article submitted many times without improvement
- Andrew J. Levander nominated at AfD; notified Mheffner201 (talk · contribs) 05:15, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: non-notable attorney. Involvement in a great many fairly routine cases. I think our usual standard is either extensive press coverage for himself not primarily in connection with a case, or involvement in cases which are notable in the WP sense, or head of a state bar association, or the like. None of these are present. Awards like best lawyers in America are pure PR, just like this article.
- Laura O'Connell Rapira nominated at AfD; notified Pakoire (talk · contribs) 11:33, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: entirely promotional .I thought of afc, but i don't think this is capable of improvement.
- Meritas (law) nominated at AfD; notified Linzc 02 (talk · contribs) 05:46, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet current standards for notability off organizations almost all the references are just about people on joining or leaving the firm
- List of musicians from the Southern United States nominated at AfD; notified GamerKiller2347 (talk · contribs) 09:16, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Impractical list; normally I would say that this a category & list should go together but this is one of the cases where a category would make more sense.
- Griffith Kimmins nominated at AfD; notified Merrick Sulyma (talk · contribs) 18:32, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: not my field, but almost exclusively documented to IMDB
- Draft:Monica Sedki nominated at MfD; notified Fady Nabil Ibrahim (talk · contribs) 04:25, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Submitted several times without improvement. Purely promotional .
- Draft:Evan Nied nominated at MfD; notified 360nosc (talk · contribs) 04:27, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: inappropriate autobiography of a high school student
- Draft:Back Office (company) nominated at MfD; notified K-Dubba-U (talk · contribs) 04:29, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: repeatedly resubmitted advertising
- Rachel Zietz nominated at AfD; notified Gdwllhntng (talk · contribs) 04:55, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: There's a lot of fresh but all of it is publicity more like night more than likely because human interest .she has not yet done anything to be notable about so there's no real encyclopedia content possible. Note that newspaper and magazine lists of prominent young people usually amount to list of people who might possibly be notable someday -- though there are exceptions
- CuriosityStream nominated at AfD; notified Diamante55 (talk · contribs) 05:42, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: pure advertisement, complete with program listing, device compatibility, and prices. And name dropping and extensive links.
- Nebula (streaming video service) nominated at AfD; notified Lefton4ya (talk · contribs) 09:14, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional : in the plainest sense--a list of programs, and a list of those who have appeared on the channel--almost none of them individually notable
August 2020
[edit]- Agoda nominated at AfD; notified Princepete (talk · contribs) 05:11, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Half of this is a series of press releases, which is not encyclopedic material. The second half is a collection of consumer complaints, which are also not encyclopedic material.
- Xero (company) nominated at AfD; notified Benkepes (talk · contribs) 00:27, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: This is essentially an advertisement for a dubiously notable firm. The references are almost all press releases, notices of funding, notices of new products, notices of trivial awards, and promotional interviews
- ThinkShutter nominated at AfD; notified Trigenibinion (talk · contribs) 22:07, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: utterly trivial, not evenworth a redirect
- Draft:Jindal Stainless nominated at MfD; notified Cherryy23 (talk · contribs) 22:21, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Deceptive promotional article start by sockpuppet and continued by ip's. See note on article for the deception.
- Draft:Amari Fields nominated at MfD; notified BlogWorthy12 (talk · contribs) 17:04, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: submitted 5 times; no real improvement; no chance of notability
- Burnet Maybank III nominated at AfD; notified Fogdog59 (talk · contribs) 00:48, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional article based upon unsourced clams and promotional sources. Best Lawyers in America is not a reliable source for notability. Relative minor public positions, relatively minor community activities and awards/ (I tried to fix the promotionalism , but found there was almost nothing left.)
- Transworld Educare nominated at AfD; notified Raghav93 (talk · contribs) 05:51, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: inadequate reliable refs for notability --the refs are basically PR, and so is the article.
- Tata Harper nominated at AfD; notified Dr. Daniel Charles (talk · contribs) 09:19, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional article based on entirely promotional sources. Thje best of them is BBC, but that's a mdel of a promotional intervieww where she says what she thinks about her own business, without any analysis, from an article series designed to let a variety of business leaders do just that. That's not RS journalism, but PR. The other references are even less subtle about it. The only notability here is perhaps her PR company.
- Stewart Francis Alexander nominated at AfD; notified Vinayaraj (talk · contribs) 21:33, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: One event. already mentioned in the article Air raid on Bari
- Draft:Nixs News Tamil nominated at MfD; notified Diwakaran1dan (talk · contribs) 01:27, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Reject 4 times ( now 5, counting myself). No improvement or hope for an article.
- Forget Self-Help nominated at AfD; notified Billywhite86 (talk · contribs) 02:18, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: no apparent major reviews, and not worth a separate article.
- Draft:Jayden Armenson nominated at MfD; notified Sap2001a1007 (talk · contribs) 20:53, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: hopeless personal promotionalism
- Smartwings QS-1125 nominated at AfD; notified Yohananw (talk · contribs) 05:08, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: I do not see how that is compatible with WP:AVIATION "The accident was fatal to humans; or The accident involved hull loss or serious damage to the aircraft or airport; or The accident or incident resulted in changes to procedures, regulations or processes affecting airports, airlines or the aircraft industry." (but this is not my area of work here, so I leave it to the community to decide)
- Jen Perelman nominated at AfD; notified Stefania0 (talk · contribs) 05:36, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Normally, a defeated candidate for a primary election is non-notable. The question here is whether the local coverage of the campaign is sufficient in this case, and whether the inclusion of the material about the police report meets BLP. I have no fixed opinion, and leave it to the community.
- The Current Sea nominated at AfD; notified Bagelcreamcheese (talk · contribs) 21:39, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: non-notable advertising for non-notable advertising consultancy. Apparent coi.
- THAT Agency nominated at AfD; notified Caseykurlander (talk · contribs) 21:40, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Pure advertising, cited to promotional interviews and promotional awards
- Freedom Center (mental health organization) nominated at AfD; notified Wiltonhall (talk · contribs) 21:42, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: advertising for a charity--purely promotional style more suited for its web page.
- War of the stop signs nominated at AfD; notified Robot8A (talk · contribs) 10:50, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: trivial one event
- Edward Weld (Senior) nominated at AfD; notified Po Mieczu (talk · contribs) 20:52, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: loal notable, involved in a fe trivial incidents. No lasting influence on the historical record
September 2020
[edit]- Cinzia Moniaci nominated at AfD; notified Maxman732 (talk · contribs) 01:29, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: not my field, but the notability seems to rest on press releases
- EvAngelos Frudakis nominated at AfD; notified Cher Skoubo (talk · contribs) 01:34, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of meeting criteria for visual artists--no evidence of work in major museum, or critical studies
- Murder of Hanna Mack nominated at AfD; notified Heidil37 (talk · contribs) 01:37, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: NOT NEWS. -- no general significance WP is not a list of murder victims.
- List of Tamil films dubbed by Sreeja Ravi nominated at AfD; notified Sidrosh (talk · contribs) 09:29, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: unnecessary list, WP is not IMdB.
- List of other language films dubbed by Sreeja Ravi nominated at AfD; notified Sidrosh (talk · contribs) 09:29, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: unnecessary list, WP is not IMdB.
- Alberto Crescenti nominated at AfD; notified Flipwared (talk · contribs) 09:44, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of particular notability
- Edith Dale Monson nominated at AfD; notified NadhirNazree92 (talk · contribs) 09:44, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meeet criteria for WP:CREATIVE
- Devin R. Pepper nominated at AfD; notified AFLBulawan (talk · contribs) 09:47, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: does not meet criteria for WP:MILITARY -- no major commands, not yet of General rank
- Mitratech Holdings Inc. nominated at AfD; notified Jonasrave (talk · contribs) 18:10, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: does not meet WP:NCORP. Every reference is a notice or a press release, or a mention of it in another context or a PRcelebration that someone bought their package
- Michael K. Obeng nominated at AfD; notified Fattysmokes (talk · contribs) 18:15, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: PR from an undeclared paid editor. Fails WP:PROF--just one publication; the references are basically press releases. The reason there are so many is they are copies of the same PR published in multiple papers. Most of the pr is because he has operated on some celebrities like most plastic surgeons in his geographic area. .
Minor charitable work, man
- Axis Forex Online nominated at AfD; notified Jonasrave (talk · contribs) 18:25, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional only page by known undeclared page editor in violation of tou -- the contents is all pr and would be a candidate for deletion no matter who has written it.
- Draft:Brad Perrott nominated at MfD; notified Rohishaw1999 (talk · contribs) 18:51, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: attempt from now banned undeclared paid editor
- User:Rohishaw1999/sandbox nominated at MfD; notified Rohishaw1999 (talk · contribs) 18:52, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: attempt from now banned undeclared paid editor
- DJ Pope nominated at AfD; notified Andreapereznov (talk · contribs) 23:30, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: G11 declined by another editor because it was not really exclusively promotional. Not a field where I know enough to judge notability, so I'm sending it here to afd for a community decision.
- Yixi Chen nominated at AfD; notified Torpedonista78 (talk · contribs) 01:00, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: It is conceivable that his company is notable, but clear that he individually not. 30 under 30 is a pr award, and does not indicate even importance.
- Osuolale Farouq nominated at AfD; notified Uyimwen1981 (talk · contribs) 04:06, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: pr. The apparently impressive references are PR or copies of pr, and do not show notability
- Warriors Day Parade nominated at AfD; notified Michael Dorosh (talk · contribs) 08:42, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: I see no evidence of notability for this event in the article as accepted, but perhaps these is evidence elsewhere
- Men of METRO nominated at AfD; notified Lightofdiogenes (talk · contribs) 09:56, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: individual college organizations of this sort are not usually considered notable
- Template:NotablityEstablished nominated at TfD; notified Nemonoman (talk · contribs) 00:49, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: I can think of no proper use for this template; it seems to have been added to the top of articles or talk pages by a total of 3 editors.
- Buck’s Store Museum nominated at AfD; notified Grantwong22 (talk · contribs) 21:53, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: All links appear to be PR or notices from the immediate area.
- CloudApp nominated at AfD; notified Veolkians (talk · contribs) 03:10, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Roputineproduct, with routine pr and notices, but no significnat discusssions I could identify. The version in the esWPis almost identical.
- Youtooz nominated at AfD; notified Figurinesfan2014 (talk · contribs) 01:01, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: not exactly my field, but judged merely as a company, there is no substantial independent reference from a reliable general interest publication. Even if the Daily Star is accepted as a RS, what they published is a promotional interview, where he proprietor of the firm is allowed to say whatever he likes about it -- such references are not truly independent. The others are trade publciations.
- EUniverCities nominated at AfD; notified Wandea (talk · contribs) 14:28, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: litle evidence for notability
- Super Pollo nominated at AfD; notified AntonioMartin (talk · contribs) 15:32, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: non notable -- very minor political role covered by NOT NEWS
- Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce nominated at AfD; notified TarHippo (talk · contribs) 04:34, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional article for promotional organization-- almost all sources are its own website
- Blackball Museum of Working Class History nominated at AfD; notified MurielMary (talk · contribs) 05:46, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: The references consist only of two travel guides and two press releases. The coverage in each of the guides is only a single paragraph. It's already included in the article on the town.
- History House Museum nominated at AfD; notified MurielMary (talk · contribs) 08:52, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: References consist only of one paragraph in a local newspaper, plus 3 from its own web site or organization
- David John Henry Ingham Roper-Curzon nominated at AfD; notified Mineraltimer (talk · contribs) 09:19, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Somewhat over extensive genealogy, for an individual who had done nothing notable. This is not a proper use of WP.
- Chad Horstman nominated at AfD; notified Jcs2181 (talk · contribs) 09:58, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: n independent notability -- covered adequately in the article on his company.
- Faisal Farooqui nominated at AfD; notified Randomsmile (talk · contribs) 05:35, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: I closed AfD1 as delete on 5 Feb 2017. Normally I wou,d just list it for speedy as a recreation, except that it seems to have a complicated edit history past that date. I think as the consensus thought then, that the references are at best promotional interviews, and the attempts to defend the article by accusing us of prejudice against Indian source irrelevant-- newspapers in all countries, even ordinarily reliable ones, publish promotional interviews--the party notable in such cases is the press agent. There does not seem to be any actual accomplishments.
- Shiboleth LLP nominated at AfD; notified Ayainbar (talk · contribs) 05:40, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Promotional article about a non-notable U.S. affiliate of a non-notable Israeli law firm, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shiboleth, Yisraeli, Roberts, Zisman and Moshe H. Ne'eman, Ben-Artzi & Co.. Insufficient coverage in reliable sources.The contents of this article are a series of promotional bios of the partners. None of them are notable in a WP sense. No consensus in 2015, but there was consensus to delete the article on the related firm. This articles is every bit as inappropriate.
- Jeffrey S. Grob nominated at AfD; notified Roberto221 (talk · contribs) 09:14, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Auxiliary bishops-are not automatically notable , because they have no responsibility for a diocese. No substantial coverage, just announcements.
- The Cat Who Went Bananas nominated at AfD; notified Dylancraigboyes (talk · contribs) 23:13, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: trivial reviews; a separate article is not justified
- Venous needle dislodgement nominated at AfD; notified Inapond (talk · contribs) 03:21, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: This is part of an advertisement for a company making a safety device to detect a type of accident during dialysis ; this part describes the accident & its potential consequences; the company, itself Redsense Medical is described in the article at the adjacent AfD. The references and content here does not meet the standards of WP:MEDRS. I presume there is COI, for trying to get 2 articles when there is at most a very weak case for one is a standard promotional trick associated with paid coi editing .
- Terry Kline nominated at AfD; notified LoonaLover84 (talk · contribs) 06:28, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Vice president of a non-notable hotel company? With not a single reference providing substantial coverage about him from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements. Ref 1 is about the company . Ref 2 has a photo of him but seems to be mainly about hte president of the company; 3 & 4 each mention his name once. Ref 5, dealing with the company progress in the field of acquisitions in which the article claims him to be a leader, does not even mention his name . Written by a contributor who has edited nothing else--except the now deleted page on the president of the company. . I consider this A7 territory, but another admin disagreed.
- Pileus area index nominated at AfD; notified Africa Festival (talk · contribs) 20:40, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: apparently no references to its use by other authors --notifying Aluxosm who commented on this on my user talk page.
- Daniel Otter nominated at AfD; notified Sportscanadabox (talk · contribs) 01:15, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: This isn't my usual field, but I do not think the sources show notabilityThey're sympathetic local interviews for a local promotor. I think this fails encyclopedic significance
- Daxbot nominated at AfD; notified Lizzythetech (talk · contribs) 00:21, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Paid article, and it shows it. First warning sign is the cute professional photo. Then looking at the text, the name of the product is used too much: once in each sentence-- an almost invariable promotional device. Going on to the references, 7 out of 10 references are from local sources discussing a local company; they even say that's why they're covering it. Two are from the company itself. The remaining one is a promotional interview in a trade paper, the very sort that is not accepted as independent according to WP:NCORP, and reading it, it's typical of such: the head of the firm says whatever he pleases about the virtues of his project and the future for it. And if we judge by common sense, rather than the GNG, this product is too minor to be worth encyclopedic coverage.
- Jonas Paul Eyewear nominated at AfD; notified JRSQuest (talk · contribs) 05:17, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional article for non-notable company. The references are almost all mere press releases or mentions (I cannot access the WSJ one) The "Inc.'s 21 coolest products of 2019" is a publicity gimmick, and isn't a reliable source for anything, let alone notability. The contents too is what would be expected of a press release, complete with cute origin story.
- John Friskillo nominated at AfD; notified Twixister (talk · contribs) 02:10, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: non notable victim of a routine crime. The only continuing coverage is that one of the criminals, out on parole, committed a similar crime. That does not make the original victim notable
- Kaspien nominated at AfD; notified Katiecapka (talk · contribs) 02:13, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: The predecessor company, Trans World Entertainment was probably notable. The new one is not. There's no substantial coverage of it that meets WP:NCORP
- JD Scott nominated at AfD; notified Cloudcandy (talk · contribs) 02:18, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: One of a group of articles based on this "emerging writer, who is not yet notable. Articles have been tried on a single story (now deleted), his magazine, and his book of stories. None of them are notable , singly or in combination. I thinks there's very likely to be some coi involved
- Rolex Stella nominated at AfD; notified Instyletech (talk · contribs) 02:20, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Basically PR for a particular group of models of a famous brand. No evidwence its appropriate for an article of its own. WP is not an auction catalog.
- Salar Azimi nominated at AfD; notified SportsOlympic (talk · contribs) 02:31, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: no apperent evidence for notability in this overpersonal account
- Johannes of Habsburg-Lorraine nominated at AfD; notified Yannick Pichard (talk · contribs) 02:35, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: not notable 20th-21st century aristocrat who became a priest. No notability in either role. WP is neither a `genealogical site nor a society column
- Moonflower, Nightshade, All the Hours of the Day nominated at AfD; notified Almascaviar (talk · contribs) 01:29, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: non notable book of stories by minor writer. So significant critical attention. Part of a promotional campaign
- Daniel Ribacoff nominated at AfD; notified LanceNYI (talk · contribs) 04:55, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional article by an apparently connected contributor, who wrote this in 2012, and nothing before or since. Performs as a polygraph examiner on television, and the references are just notes about his appearances there. No substantial sources about him that I can identify.
- Slavica Ecclestone nominated at AfD; notified 213.206.148.225 (talk · contribs) 09:39, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: I do not see how this justifies a separate article. notability is not inherited -- even if it comes with a L 740 million settlement.
- Tape Notes nominated at AfD; notified Wlyons12 (talk · contribs) 12:55, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: not my field, and I do not know how strict the standards are for music podcasts, but every reference here seems either from the show itself, or a mere listing about an individual show. The contributor has worked almost entirely on this DJ and his shows.
- Redsense Medical nominated at AfD; notified Inapond (talk · contribs) 04:03, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: is is part of an advertisement for a company making a routine safety device to detect a routine type of accident during dialysis. This part describes the company and its sole product; an already deleted part Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Venous needle dislodgement describes the accident & its potential consequences. The discussion in that AfD explains why the products is inherently trivial, and it is therefore quite unlikely that the company could become notable. Thus, as expected, the references and content here does not meet the standards of WP:NCORP. I presume there is COI, for trying to get 2 articles when there is at most a very weak case for one is a standard promotional trick associated with paid coi editing . DGG ( talk ) 03:21, 18 September 2020 (UTC)
- Niagara Networks nominated at AfD; notified StrohDa (talk · contribs) 02:25, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of notability . Notices only, except fpr tthe Forbes item which is by an outside contributor, who just happens to be the vice president of the firm/.
- StreamElements nominated at AfD; notified Chase Patrick (talk · contribs) 03:39, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Mentions only, in articles about other things that use some of its tools
- Robin Blau nominated at AfD; notified Bowralbaby (talk · contribs) 03:40, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: His renditions of the national coat of arms are on public display but they are not a significant body of work. No signif.. third party criticism, besides a promotional itnerview with the artist
- Rachel Carson Elementary School nominated at AfD; notified Pi=3.14(Nick) (talk · contribs) 03:53, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: elementary schools are not ordinarily notable , and the naming dispute isn;'t enough to show otherwise.
October 2020
[edit]- Bunq nominated at AfD; notified Jtoddalgami (talk · contribs) 09:27, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Despite mention of controversies, esentially promotional . No general refs meeting WP:NCORP
- Joseph Burke (lawyer) nominated at AfD; notified TruthInfects (talk · contribs) 16:46, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: lawyer, with nothing notable about them, except one reference to participation in a peripheral matter of a major case, No other 3rd part Reliable sources for notability.
- Justin Ross Lee nominated at AfD; notified Crantorus54 (talk · contribs) 17:32, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: pr for non notable career. Even though I would inrterpret much of what is said as negative from my POV, given the titles of the person's books, he thinks its good self-advertisement. Asf or the refs, NOT TABLOID.
- Kerala Police Academy nominated at AfD; notified Apjustin (talk · contribs) 17:33, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: no indication of notability for this police training school. No 3rd party sources
- Graham Short nominated at AfD; notified HandsofGenius (talk · contribs) 17:37, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: considerable publicity, but no major works, no works in museums, no significant critical studies of his work . Just PR
- Flora Call Disney nominated at AfD; notified Scam Guy (talk · contribs) 18:30, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Not inherited. If she was a major influence on Walt Disney's work, we need 3rd party sources saying so
- James Holloway (actor) nominated at AfD; notified 0705csd (talk · contribs) 18:38, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: minor actor , according to the article itself , his 2 best known roles -- are a unnamed minor character in a series , and a partially named, but exceedingly minor character in another.. The refs are PR or mere notices, like the NY Times
- Youssef Chreiba nominated at AfD; notified MehdiKass (talk · contribs) 23:44, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional and non-notable (though I cannot evaluate adequate the Arabic references, they seem merely to reference matters that do not show notability )
- List of awards and honors received by Gordon Rausser nominated at AfD; notified Choielliotjwa (talk · contribs) 22:34, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Attempt to bypass draft space with promotional overcoverage. It was previously contributed, and I moved it to draft as Draft:List of awards and honors received by Gordon Rausser with the comment "Overextensive list. The major awards belong in the article on him/. The minor ones don't belong in WP at all. The ones from his own university don't belong in WP at all This seems to be a promotional attempt to give the same overextended treatment we give performers." Perhaps I should just have merged back the ones worth merging and redirected in the first place.
- MediaMarktSaturn Retail Group nominated at AfD; notified 1ajonsson (talk · contribs) 01:45, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: No apparent sources, either here on in the deWP article. Not surprising, since they are simply an intermediate holding company for some of the assets of Ceconomy. The revenue , employees, and locations listed in the infobox are simply those of the firms it operates.
- Hotelbeds nominated at AfD; notified Jxstevenson (talk · contribs) 21:11, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: article approved by now banned sockpuppet of undeclared paid editor. Promotional and non-notable, fails WP:NCORP Every reference here is either a mere notice or straight-out promotion. Almost all are published in trade magazines, which are not reliable sources for notability , because they will generally accept promotional articles, as can be shown by actually looking at the items here. As a typical device to add verisimilitude to a promotional article, one negative mention is included (ref 22)
- Sarvesh Tiwari nominated at AfD; notified JusticeIndia2020 (talk · contribs) 21:24, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Draft written by obvious coi editor & approved by sockpuppet of banned undeclared paid editor. The charitable work is quite minor, as can be seen by lookign at the article. As far as I can tell from the articles, the two awards listed are worded almostthe same--they're promotional awards for his business activities, not his charitable work, and thee's nothing here to show those activities are notable. The awarding body for ref 8 is not the government of India, but a institute founded or sponsored or chartered by the government. It isn ot shown that either award has the prestige to indicate notability
- Rita Bakshi nominated at AfD; notified Dr. Rita Bakshi Senior IVF Specialist (talk · contribs) 23:48, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: not notable and promotional. Much of the editing is by a clear coi editor supplemented by that on an undeclared paid editor--it should never have gotten out of Draft. . There is no evidence that the center she runs is "one of the most renowned IVF clinics in India." The references are all PR, PR apparently written by the same person for different publication. I know I am saying the Times of India article also is PR: to prove this, just read it.
- Enclothed cognition nominated at AfD; notified Rwardjr228 (talk · contribs) 11:02, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Many other people have discussed the concept, before and since, but their use of this term for it seems not standard.
- The Kinetic (comics) nominated at AfD; notified Arutai (talk · contribs) 19:18, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: entirely in universe, written by (declared) page editor.
- Chaz Stevens nominated at AfD; notified Ophelia97 (talk · contribs) 05:29, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional paid editing. The many refs are either self-authored or represent the subjects other attempts at promotionalism. Some newspapers apparently tolerate this, but WP is an encyclopedia
- List of Jam Urban Adventure Characters nominated at AfD; notified Arutai (talk · contribs) 05:32, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: As the article says, "The following is a list of characters who appear in stories that are related (however tangentially) to the Jammer,". The sources are self-published and merely prove existence. I do not conside this encyclopedic content.
- Sarah Thompson (businessperson) nominated at AfD; notified Postcard Cathy (talk · contribs) 00:26, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: This article rests on one third party source only, a promotional interview--in the New York Times in 2019. I was quite surprised to see it. Read it, the reporter says hardly anything and contributes essentially nothing, while the subject says what she thinks about her own company, I knew the NYT did and continues to do promotional coverage in style and fashion, but those are fields where there's a rather thin line between real promotional and real journalism. This is business, where there's a sharp separation, and they are on the wrong side of it.
- Ancient Tree Forum nominated at AfD; notified Stub Mandrel (talk · contribs) 00:28, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: nothird party sources. The "archived copy" that doesn;t say what its an archived copy of, turns out to be an archived copy of their web site.
- The Storm Runner nominated at AfD; notified PixtonRran (talk · contribs) 01:14, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of notability . Non notable author, almost entirely description of plot, one extremely minor review
- Selimgate nominated at AfD; notified Will Hanley (talk · contribs) 01:20, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Theauthor of the book is almost certainly notable ; the book might be; a separate article on a debate among historians about the quality of the book is not appropriate for an article. I tried to repurpose it for an article on the author, or even the book, but there's not enough to be useful
- J Stoner Blackwell nominated at AfD; notified MiguelR26 (talk · contribs) 01:25, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: fails WP:CREATIVE -- no critical studies of his work, no work in major museums
- Bhupen Dalal nominated at AfD; notified Gruntfuttock115 (talk · contribs) 01:28, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: highly promotional bio, minor notability at best
- Lowenstein Sandler nominated at AfD 05:12, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: this is mostly a list of services, They seem to have been involved in no cases that are notable by WP standards. This was originally contributed in 2007, where standards were lower
- Casey Trees nominated at AfD; notified Casey Trees (talk · contribs) 04:47, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: obvious coi advocacy for a program with insufficient evidence of notability
- Henry David Montgomery, 3rd Viscount Montgomery of Alamein nominated at AfD; notified Thiswillbebrief (talk · contribs) 04:51, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: A7 declined on the basis that "Contesting A7: the subject claims to be a descendant of notable relatives"/ .I do not consider that a credible claim of significance , and there is nothing else.
- Brewery Collectibles Club of America nominated at AfD; notified Porterhse (talk · contribs) 05:07, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: seems to be a private website for the organization.
- Melanie Whelan nominated at AfD; notified Marquardtika (talk · contribs) 06:46, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: As usual in this field, every reference here is PR. What makes a good Press agent is the ability to get plausible sounding stories in major publications. I hope we're not as easily fooled as the conventional media.
- Ruth Zukerman nominated at AfD; notified Rhododendrites (talk · contribs) 06:49, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Pure PR, as usual in this field. Much of this is her own personal views on her own life and career, and that's what you'll find in the references also. Getting such stuff published is what high-grade Press agents do (making the polite assumption she didnt write it herself, directly or indirectly). WP at least should be resistant.
- Cheyanna's Champions for Children nominated at AfD; notified Colin dm (talk · contribs) 22:32, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: essentially advocacy. The usual personal story., with the usual promotional coverage. WP is not a tabloid
- Kenneth Harris II nominated at AfD; notified BravoCharlieSanta (talk · contribs) 23:14, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Almost all sources here are related to the subject. The Forbes source is just a directory page. The school and local newspapers are not reliable about the accomplishments of local figures. The statement of his actual technical role is too vague to be meaningful. "30 under 30" is a publicity gimmick, and his role as the "Face of NASA" is equally a publicity gimmick. It is appropriate for NASA to do PR, but not on Wikipedia
- Alliance for Local Living nominated at AfD; notified BryceIII (talk · contribs) 01:20, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: This is apparently a political party whose role is limited to two local government areas. Theonly way an article could be produced on such a localized topic is by including excessive detail, which is what has been done here. This is not of nationwide or more general significance. The references are almost entirely from the group itself or from local newspapers. The one that say BBC are worded in a way which makes the look national, but they are not. They're from BBC Dorset, the local edition or distribution.
- Coolspotters nominated at AfD; notified Digitalpapercut (talk · contribs) 19:56, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: no substantial third party references other than the notices of two minor awards, , no indication of importance
- Rose Adare nominated at AfD; notified Literary Art Historian (talk · contribs) 01:19, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: no significant critical coverage, no work in major museums. Mostly local rfs, except for some PR
- Joyou nominated at AfD; notified Pfandtasse (talk · contribs) 01:27, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meeet enWP requirements for notability under WP:NCORP, though it might meet the deWP, which is much more permissive with manufacturing companies. The references are exactly the kind of PR-based interviews and mere mentions about funding that NCORP was designed to address.
- Kitengela Mixed Secondary School nominated at AfD; notified Cyrus mwanikih (talk · contribs) 01:29, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm very permissive about secondary schools, but there is not enough information here, and no third party refs
- Asia House nominated at AfD; notified Rangoon1 (talk · contribs) 06:30, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: There may have been a time when this was considered acceptable. But at this point it is so promotional that it would need to be rewritten, and it lacks any substantial third party references from which to do so. (the references described as "archived copy" without a title arein fact their own publications.)It is quite possible that the organisation is notable, but this is should be thrown out, and started over. (especially since most of it was written by someone having the username of the organisation)
November 2020
[edit]- DSTLD nominated at AfD; notified BurgundySimpson (talk · contribs) 04:27, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Essentially advertising. The contributor's edit history indicates possible coi for this and other articles
- Emily Tyra nominated at AfD; notified PackardTwin8 (talk · contribs) 06:12, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Very sketchy evidence for notability.She has never had a major role in a major production. The closest is one of the secondary characters in Code Black. Everything else is either a minor role, or a regional theatre production, or a junior company, or an understudy. The talk page shows the previous discussion of the draft.The NYT article just lists her in the legend to a photo of the principal performer,; The CBS articles is just a cast list, a listing in playbilll is again a cast list; the film reviewed in Variety is a very minor film, and nothing else is remotely usable for notability
- Alabama Business Today nominated at AfD; notified Milodoggie (talk · contribs) 01:53, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: no third party sources for this lobbying organization. Most of the links cannot be accessed, but they presumably consist only of a mention of the lecture the subject of the link gave there.
- Olympic Hot Doughnuts nominated at AfD; notified Aidanthomas99 (talk · contribs) 07:34, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: The only actually reliable source is the article in the Age, which is not about this eating place, but a later one on the same site.
- Independent Publishing Resource Center nominated at AfD; notified Capnleela (talk · contribs) 07:40, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a promotional web page for the organization, not an encyclopedia article . The sources are all local, and most of them PR or mere notices like a routine inclusion on a listing of events.
- Roy Purdy nominated at AfD; notified AviationFreak (talk · contribs) 01:30, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: This is not my field, but the subject appears to be primarily a musician, and clearly does not meet the relevant guidelines. Theonly reliable sourcesseemsto be a note in Variety
- Gender Through Comic Books nominated at AfD; notified Melaniehughes (talk · contribs) 18:09, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Over-detailed promotional description of a proprietary product. It belongs on the firm's website.
- Simon Peter Carruthers of Holmains, Chief of the Name and Arms of Carruthers nominated at AfD; notified Bruce1745 (talk · contribs) 21:06, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: the family may be notable , but i see no reason for saying that he is, and there are no sources to support anything except his genealog
- Suyati nominated at AfD; notified Tomskurian001 (talk · contribs) 01:00, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Ref. 1, 3, 4, and 5 do not even mention the company, or its brand Ref 2 is just placement on a list, and the remaining ref, is their own web page.
- List of Emmett Leahy Award winners nominated at AfD; notified Dineshkatre (talk · contribs) 01:08, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: very few of them are individually notable, so it's doubtful if a list is justified, nor an article about the award. It is possible the person himself might be notable, but we don't have an article on him.
- The Emmett Leahy Award nominated at AfD; notified Dineshkatre (talk · contribs) 01:10, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Very few of the people given this award are notable, nor is there any 3rd party sources to show that the award itself is. Emmet Leahy himself might be notable, but we do;t have an article on him--just the final paragraph here, where the only actual ref is a quote from his organization. I'd support moving that part to draft.
- Oldřich of Talmberk nominated at AfD; notified Benjamin scot Hamill (talk · contribs) 01:17, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: His father might be notable, as having conquered the Lordship. I see no evidence that the son is.
- Uchenna Charity nominated at AfD; notified Laurettachile (talk · contribs) 06:35, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: One ref is a bio blurb she appears to have written herself, the second a similar PR piece. I don't think there's any likelihood of notability , so no point in sending to draft. The awards is only a student fellowship.
- Austin Reaves nominated at AfD; notified Sportzeditz (talk · contribs) 02:36, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Not at all my field, but I thought the basic concept for college athletes in NSPORTS required more than this. In particular, the sources are all local, and therefore do not show " national media attention"
- Wajid Khan (artist) nominated at AfD; notified Myselfanwer (talk · contribs) 20:01, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: absurdly promotional article with a great many PR references, about half of them to name-dropping. The contributor's only other contribution was a declined draft which is now been continued by another paid editor.
- University of Utah Honors College nominated at AfD; notified KOneill (talk · contribs) 05:37, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: This is essentially a web page abouyt an honors program at a college. I don't think we have ever kept these as separate articles ., nor would there be much to merge except its name; most large public universities have such programs as a common feature, and there seems nothing special about this one. The only third party references is inclusion in a book about the 50 such programs, and one promotional interview in the regional newspaper.
- Temitope Ogunsemo nominated at AfD; notified Kojomo (talk · contribs) 17:56, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional and non-notable . The awards are trivial, and most of them specifically for junior status--which corresponds to the WP Not Yet Notable. All the references are promotion or promotional interviews, or mere notices of an award.
- Draft:Nixs News Tamil nominated at MfD; notified Anithasundharkovai (talk · contribs) 05:42, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: previously deleted at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Draft:Nixs_News_Tamil. Delete and salt, this makes 6 times.
- Manuel de la Rocha Vázquez nominated at AfD; notified Asqueladd (talk · contribs) 13:19, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional bio of minor politician--no elected offices or cabinet rank. The refs seem promotional of mere notices
- Jorge Ortiz-Garay nominated at AfD; notified Pollstart (talk · contribs) 13:22, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: routine obits mostly in local papers -- being first US priest to die of covid is not intrinsically notable
- Basic Economics nominated at AfD; notified Gd123lbp (talk · contribs) 07:19, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Not specifically notable , and I think not NPOV, considering the references and the content of the reviews
- Lilly Iaschelcic nominated at AfD; notified Moja TT (talk · contribs) 07:29, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: pure PR, without a single source that is really reliable enough for BLP
- Impax Asset Management Group nominated at AfD; notified Jehanbokhari (talk · contribs) 09:50, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: does not meet current standards of notability -- see WP:NCORP
- Draft:Adrian Ridner nominated at MfD; notified 172.78.192.135 (talk · contribs) 09:52, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: no notability exceptthrough the company--mostof the eferences deal withthe firm,not with him.
- Caroline Mason (finance) nominated at AfD; notified MerielGJones (talk · contribs) 05:53, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: a good deal of pr, written entirely in PR-talk " a new strategy for the charity " "continued her involvement with social investing" and work for various groups, but with no specific notability.Being member of a Board is not notability, and generaly not even owrth mentioning in an article.
- Sound Credit nominated at AfD; notified DMWare (talk · contribs) 22:35, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: not yet notable , and primarily a catalog entry
- Kassy Dillon nominated at AfD; notified Aj778 (talk · contribs) 02:49, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: almost everything here is her own bio on the web pages of places she write for; the only true 3rd party ref seems to be a very short item no,.2, aboutone of her postings
- Jessie Maltin nominated at AfD; notified Esprit15d (talk · contribs) 06:37, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Is she notable, or is it her father, or the show. There seem to be no references written directly about her.
- Mawj Aldarraji nominated at AfD; notified Jackie.salzinger (talk · contribs) 19:02, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: apparent promotional article for amateur athlete. Anything that would do equally well as a web page for her is promotional. I cannot judge notability as I cannot read the references, but I assume they support the promotionalism. Many seem to be interviews with her where she presumably says whatever she cares to about herself.
December 2020
[edit]- Beat the Chef UK nominated at AfD; notified Kerr1000 (talk · contribs) 03:52, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: The evidence here does not show notability . I do not know why this was moved from draft space
- Barbara Jackson (model) nominated at AfD; notified Shanluan (talk · contribs) 04:03, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: A "2011 Huffington Post Game Changer Awards." is not enough for notability , nor is every individual model at The Battle of Versailles Fashion Show
- Architecture Discipline nominated at AfD; notified DJRSD (talk · contribs) 09:29, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: a number of very minor awards "felicitation"s -- no major ings pp no indepth coverage for either their architecture or their design.
- Universal Coin & Bullion nominated at AfD; notified Excel23 (talk · contribs) 09:49, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: essentially an advertisement. The references are either promotional links, or links to events where the subject was of only peripheral concern--or awards to an individual, not the orgnaization
- Gregory Edwards nominated at AfD; notified Devon666 (talk · contribs) 20:01, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: non-notable ; not in any permanent collection of a museum' no substantial critical studies. Almost every reference is either form the galleries that sell his work, and are therefore not independent, or an interview where he is allowed to say what he pleases about himself, and such interviews are also not independent.
- Draft:My Family Tree nominated at MfD; notified Floralibus (talk · contribs) 10:39, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: needs to be discouraged before he devotes any more time to this
- Stephanie Holmes Didwania nominated at AfD; notified Nicomachian (talk · contribs) 04:39, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: directory entry--no evidence for notability under WP:PROF or otherwise.
- Catalyzer Entrepreneurship Centre nominated at AfD; notified KFIHyd (talk · contribs) 04:43, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: The references are either pure PR, such as "@businessline" -- which is a place to for publishing press releases, or other promotional notices of interviews
- Sandrine Erdely-Sayo nominated at AfD; notified Mikerilke (talk · contribs) 23:24, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: I removed some namedropping and uncited material from this page, but I realized there are no significant reliable sources at all. Everything is either from her web site or from promotional interviews where she says what she wants to .This article was added in 2006, by an editor who has contributed nothing else. It illustrates the standards we had at the time; it shows the need for WP:AFC, for it wouldn't have gotten past AfC today.
- GreenPal nominated at AfD; notified Mikkelangel (talk · contribs) 02:18, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: This article was created by a recently banned sockpuppet a few months before he was banned. It's an advertisement for a lawn service firm, supported by "references" that are either PR, or notices of entry into a market, or about the general topic of similar actually notable firms. A respected editor Cunard has tried to rescue it by removing the worst of the advertising, but I think it is not rescuable, because there are no actually independent reliable sources.( If there were, Cunard would have added them). Thee is also the question of whether we should even try to rescue articles like this. The other articles from this editor have been deleted, and this should be also. It's the only way to stop paid editing in WP, when the paid editing is used to insert promotional articles. I am also listing the article on the founder of the company. The same reasons apply. It's equally promotional. Some of the refs are different. They're apparent PR insertions in articles about a range of businesses, where his business is used as one of the many examples. I congratulate the PR agent for their ability to get these mentions and articles placed. But they should have known to stay away from WP.
- Foundation for International Spiritual Unfoldment nominated at AfD; notified MarekTT (talk · contribs) 05:42, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: There is not a single third party source. Almost all the references are about meditation in general; The others are ref 1, placement on the Government's list of charities, and ref 17, a press release. the contents, as expected is PR.
- Khwaja Mia nominated at AfD; notified Nabil (talk · contribs) 00:02, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Though I cannot read some of the references, they would seem to be merely promotional announcements. None of his positions implies notability , or is likely to give rise references that would show it.
- Amber Yang nominated at AfD; notified 184.89.154.196 (talk · contribs) 06:05, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: not yet notable. Placement of one of the multiple Forbes 30 under 30 lists is not a reliable indicator of anything, , nor is a second-place finish in a high school science fair
- Yewande Sadiku nominated at AfD; notified Pat-Bassey Charles (talk · contribs) 04:23, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: I consider this an unmistakable copyvio of the first paragraphs of the subjectsprofile on their prootional website https://kibusinessforum.com/portfolio/hon-yewande-sadiku/Another admin, whom I have notified, does not agree. Comparing the article the arrangement and wording is followed exactly, except of the omission of a few words or phrases. It's much more similar than what I would normally consider an excessively close paraphrase, and we delete even those. It also fails to show notability: the references are either mere notices, or promotional interviews where the subject says whatever they care to , and are therefor not independent.enough to show notability
- Wishful Thinking: a theological ABC nominated at AfD; notified InklingScholarWycliffeHall (talk · contribs) 20:47, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: almost no third party sources, except a book that covers indiscriminately everything he wrote. No evidence of an particular importance.
- New Age International University: nominated at AfD; notified Pramodpotti (talk · contribs) 22:57, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: no such thing. Purely imaginary.
- AppLovin: nominated at AfD; notified Amin (talk · contribs) 22:48, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: all the references deal only with financing and their stock price, none give comprehsive coverage. (ecept for promotional interviews as in Business Insider). None of this meets the requirements of WP:NCORP.
- Balsam Hill: nominated at AfD; notified Mfisherkirshner (talk · contribs) 05:45, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Contents consists mainly of their PR and advertising, and the placement on various promotional lists--and not particularly high placements at that. This does not meet [[WP:NCPRP{]])
- Unify Square: nominated at AfD; notified Dovely7 (talk · contribs) 06:22, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: not notable and never was. The references are press releases and and notices of funding, and nothing more seems to be available.
- Mika Tosca: nominated at AfD; notified Murha744 (talk · contribs) 06:44, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional article. Meets neither WP:PROF nor WP:GNG. Not yet notable as an academic--assistant professor, highest citations to her work: 25, 24, 24, 22, so clearly not influential yet in her field, and does not meet the standard for WP:PROFThe references are all: either to her own work, to summaries of her work, to non-reliable or non-independent web sites, to local promotional new notices None are to the necessary substantial 3rd party reliable sources, not press releases or blogs or postings or mere notices, to meet GNG. . These are two independent standards--it's possible for someone not yet meeting WP:PROF to get sufficient substantial coverage to meet GNG, but that's not the case here.

Not being able to decide what to do with this, I accepted the draft and brought it here for a community decision.She is head of the Texas State Board of Education. In some states, I think this might be a statewide elected office and she would therefore be notable. In Texas, it's an appointment by the Governor. I don't want to open the floodgates to heads of US state departments, but the Board of Education in many states is a very influential office, and there seems to be significant coverage.

- Reason: promotional article on non-notable model moved directly from draft by the new contributor in an evasion of the purpose of AFC. The refs are the usual promotional interviews for the field, and are not RSs. For example, the Marie Claire "article" was 99% written by the subject (or perhaps their press agent) The NY Post article is a somewhat more sophisticated version because they seem to have rewritten the text instead of putting it in quotations, but its apparent purpose is to showcase the photos, complete with prices for the clothing. Harpers Bazaar uses some of the same photos, but is devoted to advertising a different set of products, again complete with prices and purchase links.

- Crest Capital: nominated at AfD; notified EagerToddler39 (talk · contribs) 22:05, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a new one for me: an article whose apparent reliable source might appear to be a US government document about the company, but where the document from the Small Business Administration [1] is actually a web forum where companies can post about themselves,"except when specifically noted, any views or opinions expressed on the Business.gov Community forums, blogs or member-contributed resources are those of the individual contributors... Information on the Business.gov Community site is provided as a service to the Internet community, "The material itself is a promotional interview of the usual sort, with a few leading quest and 95% of the content is written by the president of the firm .

- Soojin Lee: nominated at AfD; notified EagerToddler39 (talk · contribs) 07:02, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: non notable designer, even the article calls her "new and emerging", which in WP terms means Not Yet Notable. A report on one dress for a notable person doesn't show notability of the designer, nor does a blurb in a trade show magazine or routine coverage as one of the minor designers at a show.
- Lyndsay Petruny: nominated at AfD; notified Renzoy16 (talk · contribs) 19:47, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

- Mireya Mayor: nominated at AfD; notified 38.100.17.149 (talk · contribs) 02:39, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a pastiche of a number of sources, especially [3] , and the cited sources. This article was written as if she were a Media personality, with the references and much of this text all apparently copies of the same press release and bioblurb, presumably written by her or her press agent. There is no true third party verification of any part of her adventures. A typical reference from Google is "has Mireya Mayor had her lips done? Expedition Bigfoot viewers question doctor's appearance"[4] (and as PR it's out of date--she has also written an autobiography) She is not a faculty member of any university, and never was. She is apparently director of Exploration and Science Communications at FIU[5] But she is a biologist, and might be notable, but the article would need to be totally rewritten, which I can do if I find an actual CV to establish the objective facts of her life. She did not discover a new lemur species--she has always worked as part of a team as a relatively junior member. - She has been one of the 14 coauthors on a major summary of lemur taxonomy, which was not a formal revision in the taxonomic sense, and she has been one of the 7 coauthors on two papers which have indeed formally revised the assignment of previously known lemurs into a different arrangement of species. This is noteworthy taxonomic work, but not necessarily for the junior members of a group, and I cannot tell from the available material that she was responsible for that work- She's also published other papers, mostly as one of a number of junior coauthors, but some perhaps as the principle author--it will take a more detailed analysis. Thisis a suitable place by TNT if there ever was. IThe only way to revise the article would be to remove almost all the content and the duplicative PR references

- Reason: I have a considerable skepticism about people in ordinary occupations who have professional glamorous photographs.This at least is honest: its the credited work of a professional photographer, not a transparent pretense at "self"But the claimed notable work is developing a non-notable product, and then writing a non notable book. The only way this could have generate news stories is if they were PR stories; nobody would have cared otherwise, and neither should we.I don't trust single one of them for being objective and independent.
- Lotus Group: nominated at AfD; notified Evenmadderjon (talk · contribs) 05:23, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

- CreativeLive: nominated at AfD; notified Jupiters angel (talk · contribs) 00:54, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Promotional and non-notable. It would do very well as a web page for the organization. The Overview half is a product catalog. The History half is a list of funding, and a repetition of their promotional efforts.; the references, as expected, are pure promotion and advertising. --some are even in places like Newswire, which isa dedicate PR site.

- Syngap Research Fund: nominated at AfD; notified Pablo Sultana (talk · contribs) 06:07, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Highly promotional article on non-notable organization, almost all the content does not belong in an encyclopedia but on their web site. A list of grants made is not encyclopedia content. A list of partner organizations (most of them non-notable ) with no accompanying information aboutthe partnerships, is not encyclopedic content.And almost none of the references are third party. They are either a publication of a supported researcher, or a mere news item about the organization. Shouldn ever have been accepted from Draf.
- Organizational orientations theory: nominated at AfD; notified Lori03 (talk · contribs) 06:15, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence for the significance of the theory. Some of the references are untraceable, and Google Scholar and google shows that no publication on this theory has had more than a very small number of references. Some of the people associated with the article are notable -- but that's because of their other work, none of which is very closely related to this. This was apparently the result of an educational assignment back in 2009. We were just starting such projects then, had had very little in the way of standards to go by. .
- Nines Club: nominated at AfD; notified Beefy SAFC (talk · contribs) 04:05, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

- Rashida Richardson: nominated at AfD; notified BrittWadner (talk · contribs) 23:48, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of notability: the works listed are not books, they are a magazine article, a newspaper article, a web page, and a technical report. The references are bioblurbs, presumably written by the individual or their press agent. Google Scholar does show citations to some of the publications, notably the report., but not enough to indicate notability. The only other references I was able to find are social media sites, bioblurbs in connection with lectures or minor appointments, and some of the articles she reported on CBS. I am truly distressed to see that this article was the product of an excellent and responsible project that has produced much better content than this about more clearly notable women. The point of such projects is not just to add articles, but to add articles with good references about important subjects--we rely on the projects not just to get articles written, but to help the encyclopedia maintain quality. It has proven very difficult to write a article showing the notability of a reporter, unless they have won a major award or published notable books. They're not usually a good choice for editing projects, where it's better to choose people whose notability is easier to demonstrate.
- Jonathan Kubben Quiñonez: nominated at AfD; notified Mohirfan03 (talk · contribs) 00:50, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Promotional, non-notable, and non-encyclopedic. Claimed to be a notable "influencer", which I think it means someone whose only significance is getting publicity for themselves. He had a former career as a model, but I see no evidence that he was notable in that either. The Forbes ref is from a "former contributor", meaning it is not a RS for anything. The other references are equally useless. I have not searched Google, because what I find there will be his publicity. There's no reason anyone would ever give him significant coverage. The article was written by a disclosed paid editor , who is naïve enough to admit "an interest in making Wikipedia articles of celebrities from all over the world who has a good following base but they don't have the visibility on search engines. I am a digital marketing expert and a new editor on Wikipedia who's willing to create articles of celebrities and give them visibility with help of Wikipedia."He created his first articles in Draft (and they are still there); once he became autoconfirmed, he created this in mainspace, which is of course against god practice for paid editing --it's time we made that policy. I thought about moving this to draft also, but I don't think there's a chance of an acceptable article.

- One Young World: nominated at AfD; notified Tjuk09 (talk · contribs) 09:30, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: essentially promotionalism . Most of the refs are straight PR, or promotional interviews, . The remainder are mere notices of someone giving a talk, or the like The intent is apparently PR--at this point I find it difficult to believe that anyone who will actually use a reference from prnewswire intends anything else.

- NCH Software: nominated at AfD; notified Jsaksa (talk · contribs) 07:29, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

- Kazuo Toda: nominated at AfD; notified Emissionmonk (talk · contribs) 20:15, 13 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Insufficient material for an article, as is usual with vice-presidents of even large businesses. The position is given as vice-president, but most large companies have many at that level. His other activities are not the sort that lead to notability -- Bunka Gakunin is a vocational school, and "specially-appointed professor" is a non-academic specialist in some field such as business who either teaches a few applied courses from time to time, or gives a few lectures; Chariman of a universities alumni association is not a noteworthy position as far as an encyclopedia is concerned.

- StagsTV: nominated at AfD; notified Stagophile (talk · contribs) 03:55, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

- Reason: non-notable businessperson with unreliable sources. The prev. version was deleted speedy as advertising, and this is not much better. It was able to evade AfC because the contibutor had accumulate the necessary number of edits by creating the now -deleted article. The accomplishments are minor: At AfD discussion in the past few years, awards for 30 under 30 and the like have been usually taken to indicate "Not Yet Notable". They're purely PR awards, they are organized so a great many people get the awards in mone or another of the very many categories, and have no other significance. Similarly the top 100 listing designed for promotion, with multiple categories. And the one possibly significant award listed he didn;t win, it's just a nomination. He founded two non-notable companies. he invested in another. The promotional nature is even more clearly seen in the infobox's education section: "London School of Commerce (Dropped out)" which reminds me of the legendary CV that included "BA (failed)" 00 Tho it's fair to say we have thousand of bios which list "attended" not "graduated" -- some of these are typically non-degree programs, but others, we should re-examine. The photo is an obviously profesionala portrait, licensedd here as "own work"I assume an undeclared coi editor, for they've worked on nothing else the references are what we'd expect: mere notices abut either him or his companies, or promotional write-ups about the minor awards, and promotional interviews where the subject (or their PR representative) is allowed to say whatever they care to. Consensus now is these are not independent.
- Sportsshoes.com: nominated at AfD; notified Colindiffer (talk · contribs) 18:35, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet NCORP: Refs are only placements of promotional lists of "fastest growing" and the like, notices about close of individual store, and a promotional bio of the founder where he says whatever he pleases.

[edit]- Graymatics: nominated at AfD; notified Renzoy16 (talk · contribs) 08:58, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The only potentialy reliable independent sources that are not straight PR publications or industry specific sources or mere notices of funding are 4/ and 7/ . But 7/ is a copy of a promotional announcement. I don't think 4/ by itself is enough for notability, especially considering this is a paid article.
- Andrew Gower: nominated at AfD; notified 213.249.155.242 (talk · contribs) 06:30, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable businessperson .The references are routine coverage, or placement on a list. It is possible to be notable by being extremely wealthy, but not if it's just 566th in Britain.
- Pat Burt: nominated at AfD; notified SKatCBPR (talk · contribs) 02:40, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Promotional article for non-notable political candidate. Currently holds minor office, CEO of various non-notable companies. The references are mostly mere notices.
- Cara Spencer: nominated at AfD; notified Clearance Wood (talk · contribs) 02:43, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional article for non-notable political candidate. This is essentially a campaign advertisement. Routine newspaper notes, no substantial coverage.
- The State of the Union (European University Institute): nominated at AfD; notified Giovanni Zabban (talk · contribs) 06:02, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Pure PR. The article has only extensive promotional sections of buzz-words on the importance off the problems it deal with, and very extensive name dropping. There are almost no third party sources. If there should be sources for notability , it would need to be done over from scratch. It was just as bad when it was accepted from AfC.
- Debut Video Capture Software: nominated at AfD; notified Merrymonger (talk · contribs) 06:31, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I nominated the firm for deletion last month, but the article was perhaps not reasonably kept at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NCH Software (2nd nomination). This does not however imply that all its products are notable, and I don't think this is. Most of the contents of the article is a copy from the article on the firm--as there isn't enough worth saying about this program--almost all the refs here are about the firm in general
- Nathalie Collin: nominated at AfD; notified Johndoe576 (talk · contribs) 05:42, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is the work of a paid editor on the French WP in violation of their rules, now translated into English by a paid editor, probably the same one, and added to by a single purpose account. The translation is a some places rather unidiomatic. The individual may be notable, because of the legion d'honneur , but in that case it would need re-writing from scratch, not based on the French version because that was written in violation of their rules, our rules, and the WMF terms of service. but the contents of this article resort to statements such as "in conjunction with other publishers " "took part in negotiations", "supported [someone else's] proposal", "contributed to creating" "cosigned", "participated". Almost all previous work by the same editor has been deleted as either unsourced or copyvio. Unfortunately, the timing is such that this can not be done as a speedy deletion.
- Inbound marketing automation: nominated at AfD; notified B2bmarketercanada (talk · contribs) 16:00, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: pure jargon, non-encyclopedic; the relevant encyclopedic aspects are covered in multiple articles. The article on "Inbound Marketing" was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Inbound marketing]] on Feb 5, 2021.The Goldman ref. is from Canadianmarketingblog.com. (now a dead link) The others are from SEO.moz.blog and similar sites.
- Steph Korey: nominated at AfD; notified Franheartsu (talk · contribs) 23:28, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This started out as puffery but has now become an attack article -- the best course will be to remove it entirely as not yet notable in a positive sense nor even sufficiently notorious in a negative sense .
- Premise (company): nominated at AfD; notified Czar (talk · contribs) 22:29, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: the references are only notices of financing and personnel changes, and thus do not meet WP:NCORP.
- Lara Julian: nominated at AfD; notified Alyaww (talk · contribs) 03:59, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I don't think this meets the standards for notability of creative artists, There do not apear to be any works in major museums--even some of the exhibitions listed are "private viewings." There do not appear to be any substantial critical studies--all of the references appear to be notices or promotion. As I understand it, part of the purpose of afc is to keep articles like this out of mainspace.
- Flay (James Madison): nominated at AfD; notified Rynb99 (talk · contribs) 05:10, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I don't see thisartwork as notable, tho the artist certainly is. most of the references discuss him and his oeuvre in general, not this painting in particular. And I don;'t think it's really his best known work, which probably would be his one of Jefferson--which is the one the refs seem to be most ly about.
- The Dybbuk box: nominated at AfD; notified Mr.3344 (talk · contribs) 06:04, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

- Nikki Turner (academic general practitioner): nominated at AfD; notified Realitylink (talk · contribs) 06:08, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional article on non notable physician Not everyone working with immunization is notable The references are not really to her work, its to the subjects she publicizes--and the fact that these subjects are socially valuable doesn't make for personal notability :
- Sindee Jennings: nominated at AfD; notified Cs california (talk · contribs) 19:37, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This was nominated for speedy G5, but it has considerably more content and references than it had when deleted previously, so I think it would need another AfD. Beyond that, I have no opinion whatsoever. Whoever closes this, please do not consider my nomination as a !vote for delete or a !vote against deletion.
- PC AGE Career Institute: nominated at AfD; notified Treksamurai (talk · contribs) 20:27, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: It seems to exist, but I could find no third party reference except inclusions on a list. Article present on WP since 2011.
- Study.com: nominated at AfD; notified 96.246.138.138 (talk · contribs) 09:52, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously deleted in 2016, but the present content is more extensive and would require a second AfD. Remains highly promotional the only contibution of its presumably paid ditor.
- Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience: nominated at AfD; notified C.m.keysers (talk · contribs) 18:18, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

[edit]- Wessex Society of Newfoundland and Labrador: nominated at AfD; notified Ohfolkthat (talk · contribs) 00:57, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: non notable organization. I declined the AfC for this; the editor User:HeritageNL, rearranged the sections, added a paragraph sourced only tot he groups own minutes, & moved it themselves into mainspace. The one good reference is about someone associated with the organization.
- Hackolade: nominated at AfD; notified Paul elys (talk · contribs) 01:00, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Mentioned in various sources; most of the refs are refs to other software with which it can be used, Not one substantial 3rd party reliable published source
- Pink House (Melbourne Beach, Florida): nominated at AfD; notified FieldMarine (talk · contribs) 21:04, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: An earlier Afd was closed as keep all , because most of the items listed were on the NHRP, which proves notability . This one isn't, [7] and I can find. no other information. The web site for the hotel occupying the house [8] gives no indication of historic status (There's a Pink House in Savannah Georgia, which is on the register--this make searching just a little trickier.)
- The Colonnade Inn (Sea Isle City): nominated at AfD; notified Jprato (talk · contribs) 21:44, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

- Hoyt House (Fernandina Beach, Florida): nominated at AfD; notified Spoonfighter (talk · contribs) 21:47, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Another inn not on the Register. I do not know if a mere one page listing in the university of florida press book is sufficient.
- Cornerstone Housing Co-operative: nominated at AfD; notified LittleDwangs (talk · contribs) 18:22, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

- Reason: Advertisement for food supplement
- JustAnswer: nominated at AfD; notified StevieSchm (talk · contribs) 23:43, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Essentially an advertisement, with recent efforts to make it even worse. The WSJ and Tech Crunch items are mere announcements of funding, and there is nothing else even remotely reliable: the HufPost is by a "contributor", which makes it not a reliable source, and bizjournals is a site for PR.
- Disappearance of Maya Millete: nominated at AfD; notified CountyCountry (talk · contribs) 11:48, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

- Bill Thomas (businessperson): nominated at AfD; notified Noswall59 (talk · contribs) 03:17, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

- Uncle Don's: nominated at AfD; notified Lily Li Foung (talk · contribs) 05:31, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

- Hoochery Distillery: nominated at AfD; notified Swordswfriends (talk · contribs) 09:22, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

- Singhara Kachari: nominated at AfD; notified Thincrustsamosa (talk · contribs) 10:08, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I do not consider this notable -- I know its hard to tell in this field, but refs 1 and 2 are primarily about other foods. I'm not in able to look properly for references in Hindi, so I'll withdraw this if people can find substantial references.
- Women of the World Poetry Slam: nominated at AfD; notified Jesseparent (talk · contribs) 18:22, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Thee are no third party references to show notability except atlantaintownpaper, which is not a RS. All other references are to its own press releases.
- Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals: nominated at AfD; notified Amsterdad (talk · contribs) 11:50, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a promotional web page about a non-notable organization. Every reference is either a mere note, or from the organization, or related sources, or trade sources that publish promotional material.
- American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute: nominated at AfD; notified Richard Hein (talk · contribs) 11:52, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: "a nonprofit member benefit of the American Hotel and Lodging Association." I'm not suggesting even a merge or redirect, because this is material relevant only for their own members, and belongs on their web site, not in a general encyclopedia . As would be expected,, thee are no reliable 3rd party sources.

- Faith Oyedepo: nominated at AfD; notified Timmylegend (talk · contribs) 00:07, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: not notable, or at least not independently notable . The references are not in my opinion very reliable, but in any case they mostly cover her as David Oyedepo 's wife, not independently
- Vinveli: nominated at AfD; notified Kavalan1 (talk · contribs) 14:06, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

- Animal Charity Evaluators: nominated at AfD; notified Throughthemind (talk · contribs) 00:21, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: non notable and promotional for the organization and its work. A list of whivh this private organization considers top rated charities is not encyclopedic content. This is a restored excerpt for an earlier draft deleted as promotional paid editing at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Riceissa/Animal Charity Evaluators. It consides of the ratings, a promotional introduction, though much less of the surrounding fluff.
- Genies, Inc.: nominated at AfD; notified Bryanbeckford (talk · contribs) 18:01, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

[edit]- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City: nominated at AfD; notified Karenblue (talk · contribs) 00:13, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a local affiliate of a large national organization. There are many dozens of these throughout the US, and I do not see that any of them are specifically notable , or that they are of any interest to people outside the region they serve. It's therefore not our practice to include them, or we would be violating NOTDIRECTORYThere is not a single source except a local newspaper. (Kansas City Business Journal is a place to publish pR, and thus not a RS any more than the press releases that it publishes. This is, as one would expect, an article by a declared paid editor
- Tucson Poet Laureate: nominated at AfD; notified Julielovesthedesert (talk · contribs) 00:23, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

- Elijah Alejo: nominated at AfD; notified 152.32.110.145 (talk · contribs) 00:29, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

- Folu Adeboye: nominated at AfD; notified Timmylegend (talk · contribs) 10:11, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

- Stephanie Cmar: nominated at AfD; notified Samsmachado (talk · contribs) 18:28, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: appeared in Top Chef several times, but never won. I don't think that qalifies for an article; generally we have only the winners. I am listing the other non-winners who have articles but show no obvious notability; I'm listing them separately, because checking might show that some of them might have notability otherwise.

- Hridith Sudev: nominated at AfD; notified 85.154.118.83 (talk · contribs) 16:42, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Much of this self-promotional BLP has been uncited since 2012 (some earlier versions were even worse). If the uncited material and puffery is removed, there won't be enough to support notability . Among the unsourced claims are:#that International Energy Globe Awards, Austria (about which we do not have an article) , awarded to an organization for which he was one of the founders, is "Nature's Nobel Prize"#that he is "one of the youngest recipients" of this award #that his self-published poetry book is "one of the best-selling English-language poetry books in the Middle-East."#That he is a graduate of the schools he lists. Material cited only to self-serving local pseudo interviews where he says what he cares to.#that his high school eco-club developed into a major organization # that his work was inspired by his grandmothers household practices# that "He has worked extensively on ending gender-based violence and racial discrimination, informed by his own personal experiences."#that his occupations are "poet, Environmentalist, Public Speaker". His actual status would seem to be college student, (thought that too is an uncited claim) among the puffery or extremely minor material and extensive namedropping, even if some of it should happen to be true:#that he is descended from a Royal family#that"as often been called the 'World's Greenest Boy' for his environmental stewardship"#his self description in the personal life and activism section#that his latest venture might "help solve the world water problem in regions with water scarcity."#that he has a "scientific career" in medical research#that his one published paper on water purification amounts to a scientific career in Water resource management that he has a career of s fiction writer when he has not yet published a single work in that field#that he " participated in Black Lives Matter rallies in Denver and Aurora, and expressed solidarity with George Floyd, Elijah McClain, Trayvon Martin, and Breonna Taylor in an Instagram video shortly afterwards.[10]"#that he " named poet and Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda, writer and activist Jessica Mitford, and Instagram-based writer, Lindsay O'Connel as his literary influences. #that "On multiple occasions, Sudev has identified PennState researcher, Stephanie Butler Velegol, on whose work his research is based on, as is his biggest inspiration in science alongside Russian chemist, Dmitri Mendeleev and Indian rocket-scientist, A.

- Project GreenWorld International: nominated at AfD; notified Hridith Sudev Nambiar (talk · contribs) 16:47, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a project of Hritdith Sudev, that I have just listed at AfD. I list this separately, because it is conceivable though in my opinion unlikely, that it might be notable, if promotional material were removed Essentially all the material is unsourced, or sourced only to self-serving promotionalinterviews that do not meet WP:NCORP
- David Vetter (farmer): nominated at AfD; notified Thriley (talk · contribs) 02:11, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is promotional anfd non-notable . The references are mostly local notices, and promotional interviews where he says what he pleases-- een the LA Times feature is a rewritten promotional interview, not a true news story. The material is over-personal, in the typical PR fashion.
- Diana Prata: nominated at AfD; notified Roundtheworld (talk · contribs) 05:01, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet WP:PROF. No paper with over 100 citations. No notable awards.
- US Microbics: nominated at AfD; notified Brandymae (talk · contribs) 05:04, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: It is possible that this firm is notable, but the article is almost completely unsourced, written in a highly promotional manner, and makes claims for many firsts without any evidence whatsoever. I think it highly unlikely that a firm with a revenue of half a million dollars could have done any significant amount of what is claimed. The links to the various local newspapers go to the firm's website , not to the articles.
- Unlimited Group: nominated at AfD; notified Philafrenzy (talk · contribs) 21:23, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

- Social Venture Network: nominated at AfD; notified Common Man (talk · contribs) 21:02, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Entirely promotional and non-notable , with lack of good sources for notability that meet NCORP. I am not even sure how much of this is still active, or ever was-- I cannot identify any books claimed to be published. There are no references for the affiliations listed, or for individuals being memebers.

- Maliban: nominated at AfD; notified BlueLotusLK (talk · contribs) 03:44, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The firm might conceivably be notable but none of the sources are usable to show it. The articles in the Sunday Times are all the sort of promotional interviews where the head of the company says just what they please; by WP:NCORP, these do not count toward notability

- Reason: There do not seem to be any sources that meet the requirements of WP:NCORP. Almost everything here is either from the company, or a mere notice about an acquisition. (There is an alternate way of looking at it, which is that any company with value > $1 Billion should have an article. I have suggested this in the past, but I now have my doubts, unless we could actually find people without coi interesting in writing such articles. )

- Carl E. Fields: nominated at AfD; notified Adamsamuelwilson (talk · contribs) 05:12, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not yet notable--still a postdoctoral fellow; the awards are student awards. The only 2 publication seem to be Fryer CL, Lloyd-Ronning N, Wollaeger R, Wiggins B, Miller J, Dolence J, Ryan B, Fields CE. Understanding the engines and progenitors of gamma-ray bursts. The European Physical Journal A. 2019 Aug;55(8):1-3., [10] has been cited 7 times only according to Google Scholarand Fields CE, Couch SM. On the Development of Multidimensional Progenitor Models for Core-collapse Supernovae. The Astrophysical Journal. 2020 Sep 18;901(1):33. [11] has been cited 3 times only. The various references are all entirely PR or announcements.
- Katie Gately: nominated at AfD; notified 82.163.127.211 (talk · contribs) 05:23, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: may or may not be notable as a musician, but this article is essentially over-personal PR-
- Salima Saxton: nominated at AfD; notified Spenthrift (talk · contribs) 05:27, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: apparently minor playwright and actor. No major roles in notable productions.
- FedEx Express Flight 87: nominated at AfD; notified Plane'n Boom1 (talk · contribs) 21:35, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not my field, but isn't this regarded as too trivial for an article.
- Air Astana Flight 1388: nominated at AfD; notified Plane'n Boom1 (talk · contribs) 21:37, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: And isn't this one also regardded as too trivial for an article?
June 2021
[edit]- Jennifer Etito: nominated at AfD; notified Nnadigoodluck (talk · contribs) 04:57, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: non notable and promotional. The refs are interviews where she says whart she likes, as even the titles indicate.
- Louis Pierre Comeau: nominated at AfD; notified DesioLasam (talk · contribs) 02:57, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not meet the relevant standard, WP:PROF. The citation record does not show an influence on his profession--the higest citations in Google Scholar are 84, 47, 20, 13 . There are no other indications of notability --being a keynote speaker and helping organize a conference are purely routine for any academic . The references are mostly mere listings, or articles in minor trade publications.
- MacPaw: nominated at AfD; notified Lujkin8 (talk · contribs) 09:55, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is advertising . A list of products, some minor reviews, some promotional awards, and a number of mentions
- Alex Nwankwo: nominated at AfD; notified Nnadigoodluck (talk · contribs) 19:22, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: media personality and PR agent. A promotional article on someone in the promotional industry. A number of very minor awards. The references are almost entirely announcements, supplemented by PR cpverage, including 4 items on his wedding.
- ClinicalKey: nominated at AfD; notified Evenmadderjon (talk · contribs) 07:54, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is advertising for Elsevier. It is basically one of yhe many special subscription arrangement for their paid-access journals, bundled with a link to medline and other material. It of not actual importance, and nobody would both commenting on it unless they had coi of some sort. Therefs , that are still accessible are PR or notices.
- Citylink Neihu: nominated at AfD; notified Heeheemalu (talk · contribs) 08:38, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I don't like having to base this on articles I can evaluate only approximately, but it seems clear that the references are mere notices and PR. If there is any actual notability , it would be for the chain, not this branch.
- The Inevitable Revolution: nominated at AfD; notified Uprisingengineer (talk · contribs) 08:41, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: There does not seem to be any basis for a separate article. Tolstoy published a great many pamphlets and essays, and there's no point treating one separately unless there is some indiction that it is in some way particularly influential.
- JR's Bar and Grill: nominated at AfD; notified Another Believer (talk · contribs) 08:46, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: all 4 references are apparently trivial notices. trivial notices
- Jabez Chickering (minister): nominated at AfD; notified Slugger O'Toole (talk · contribs) 08:50, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence for notability . American churchmen in the 17th century may be notable for historical interest even if there's nothing special to say, but I don't think this extends to the late 18th century. Norwood Mass. was by then neither pioneer nor missionary territory.
- Thomson TO16 (prototype): nominated at AfD; notified 4throck (talk · contribs) 09:18, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I suggest that this and the related models are not appropriate for separate articles.
- Mona Al Sabban: nominated at AfD; notified Dr.KhaledRashed (talk · contribs) 06:59, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Advertising for her cinema school.
- St Luke the Evangelist Church, Brierfield: nominated at AfD; notified RailwayJG (talk · contribs) 10:04, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of notability Parish churches, unless historic, are not automatically notable . The only thing resembling refs is listings in directories
- Camryn Rogers: nominated at AfD; notified Cowsaidmoo (talk · contribs) 10:13, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: qualified to represent Canada is not the same as actually representing Canafa.
- Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar: nominated at AfD; notified Iamdaniyalakram (talk · contribs) 10:15, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of actual notability. No substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, not press releases or blogs or postings or mere notices
- Breeze Song Gao: nominated at AfD; notified Heeheemalu (talk · contribs) 07:46, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: asssuming the Chinese references document what they are being used for, they don't show anything that amounts to notability. WP:RUNOFTHEMILL is the relevant rule here. There's been considerable discussion whether the cutoff for shopping malls should be 50,000 sq m , or 100m 000--but this is 13, 000.
- Margaret Heffernan (Irish businesswomen): nominated at AfD; notified Spleodrach (talk · contribs) 10:09, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The actual notability is her brother's--she became material for news coverage in connection with him, for taking over the family business after his wide range of unsavory activities (I can't say criminal, for he was apparently never convicted)
- Collectabillia: nominated at AfD; notified Sinchana B A (talk · contribs) 23:34, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: almost all the references here are mere notices. about investments or individual items being sold.
- Startup Wise Guys: nominated at AfD; notified Condiwiki (talk · contribs) 06:21, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: does not meet standards for NCORP. the references are entirely mere notices or PR.
- Rapyd: nominated at AfD; notified Condiwiki (talk · contribs) 06:23, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: moved by contributor from draft space, but it remains a promotional article that fails NCORP. Thissort of editing is typically COI.
- Ralph Barlow (priest): nominated at AfD; notified Bashereyre (talk · contribs) 09:41, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: none of this is substantial coverage; bishops are presumed notable, but not Deans.
- Stephen Cheston: nominated at AfD; notified Bashereyre (talk · contribs) 09:43, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: noneof thisis substantial coverage. Fasti is a complete non-selective directory. Dishops are presumed notable, but not archdeacons.The 16th century is not remote antiquity, where we sometimes assume that everyone still identifiable should have an article.
- SS Ben H. Miller: nominated at AfD; notified DeltaSquad833 (talk · contribs) 09:52, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I do not see how this Liberty Ship is notable . Routine coverage only, and no significant events in her career. Looking at the lists of n=Liberty Ships, I see about 1/4 have articles, and in those cases I have checked, there is something much more substantial to say than this. It's not my field, but practice in the field seems sensible to me, but this is beyond it.
- Taaooma: nominated at AfD; notified Dami070 (talk · contribs) 00:05, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I do not see notability here, and the professional roles are ones where it's very difficult to provide reliable evidence--and very difficult to write a non=promotional article. The awards are mere PR, like all ...under... awards, and they pretty much rely of each other for who gets listed. the Gage awards judging from their web page are a concsiously designed PR device, The refs other than the awards are promotional interviews, and therefore unreliable, no matter where published.
- Dénola Grey: nominated at AfD; notified McHael-10 (talk · contribs) 00:10, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A promotional article based on promotional interviews, which are unreliable sources wherever published. There's one award., for "Most promising///" I think that's equivalent to not yet notable
- Yentsch-Schindler Award: nominated at AfD; notified DaffodilOcean (talk · contribs) 16:36, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence for award being notable. It's an early carer award, and it would be unlkely most of the people it is awarded to would be yet notable. There are no 3rd party refs that are not mere notices of the award being given , almost all from the news or pr sites of the university invovled.
- European Conference Physics of Magnetism: nominated at AfD; notified Pkozl (talk · contribs) 17:08, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a web page for the conference, not an encyclopedia article. Very few series of conferences have been considered notable in Wikipedia , because it is very rare to find substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, not press releases or blogs or postings or mere notices . Essentially every single reference here is to its own publications.
- 2N Telekomunikace: nominated at AfD; notified Lena.holkova (talk · contribs) 00:26, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is almost entirely a commercial web page. Almost all the references arefrom their own site.
- TechCrunch Disrupt New York: nominated at AfD; notified Ajdre (talk · contribs) 00:42, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I think this is lacking encyclopedic content. It's a mere list of s series of exhibitions. I don't think it would even belong as content in the main article, so I'm not suggesting a merge.
- House of Today: nominated at AfD; notified SimonBalsom (talk · contribs) 06:14, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: non-notable and promotional . The references are advertisements or promotional writeups or notices.
- Draft:Manchala Yaswanth: nominated at MfD 20:54, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: We are doing harm to let undergraduates embarrass themselves by trying to make wp pages for themselves. We should either remove on sight, or move it to a user page.
- Jan Zobel: nominated at AfD; notified Penny Richards (talk · contribs) 21:10, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: non-notable. This relies on unselective obituaries and notices. References 1 isn't even about her--its about her father and mentions her name as one of his children. The book review is in a student paper. School yearbooks , wether accessed by ancestry.com or otherwise, do not show notability. We need more articles on the women who are actually notable
- Boatsetter: nominated at AfD; notified Bluesistico (talk · contribs) 21:17, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Advertisement -- and non-notable. The areticles consists of a list of services, the references are notice or promotional and fail WP:NCORP.
July 2021
[edit]- Draft:Ansh Jain- Young Talent: nominated at MfD; notified Vishakha.jain (talk · contribs) 02:00, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: 14 year old author of self-published book. Apparently an attempt at self-promotion.
- Draft:Janushi Raichura: nominated at MfD; notified Ianusi Quinn (talk · contribs) 02:06, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: 13 year old author of a self published book. Presumably attempt at publicity. note the sole ref:Fandom Wiki.
- Ummi Hafilda Ali: nominated at AfD; notified Hewkiivorox (talk · contribs) 17:00, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: minor involvement in 1998 legal case. I don't think this meets our requirements for BLPO. I see no point in redirecting, as he;s not even mentioned in the major article (and I see so problem there also about including irrelevnt detail)
- Graduate Prospects: nominated at AfD; notified Shevonsilva (talk · contribs) 17:08, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: not separately notable. The article doesn't make it clear, but the firm is still in existence a/c Companies House. I have not found any 3rd party references that meet WP:NCORP. If they do exist, then a merge with the various services it provides might be a reasonable solution, so I' not nominating the separate aticles on them at this times.
- Draft:Target Integration: nominated at MfD; notified Polestarsofar (talk · contribs) 22:15, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This has been deleted or decline 4 times at least by several editors. There has been no attempt to improve it, and I do not think it could ever be successful
- Hasura: nominated at AfD; notified Mushydost (talk · contribs) 23:13, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Undeclared paid editor, now banned, which should be enough of a reason for deletion. The references without the company name in the title are mostly mentions of the company in an article about a group of other applications, as their titles make evident. The others are notes about funding or promotional interviews. If anyone wishes to defend to, please list only the THREE best sources you can find in the group.
- Odyssey of the Mind: nominated at AfD; notified Ibid~enwiki (talk · contribs) 23:18, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: based entirely on its own publications.
- Destination Imagination: nominated at AfD; notified Justin Blesy (talk · contribs) 23:20, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: based almost entirely on its own publications when it's sourced at all. (I made an attempt to fix it by removing the worst section--see page history--but I think its hopeless)
- OM Association, Inc.: nominated at AfD; notified Bokabu (talk · contribs) 23:21, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The sponsor of the programs on the adjacent AfDs. based almost entirely on its own publications when it's sourced at all
- Isabel Gutiérrez de Bosch: nominated at AfD; notified Karlaalexandra9991 (talk · contribs) 10:21, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: pure promotional promotionalism. The awards are both promotional and trivial. The refs are PR. I decided not to draftify because therewis no way of going forward with an acceptable article.
- Taft Street Winery: nominated at AfD; notified Jake.martini (talk · contribs) 02:26, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of notability . The references available all are write ups in specialize publications that provide such articles on every winery in their area indiscriminately.
- Organisation's goals: nominated at AfD; notified Martynas Patasius (talk · contribs) 02:30, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: An article on a very general topic indeed, but which essentially just the uncritical recapitulation of the very general views of a notable writer on organization theory-- his works are hte only substantial references. I considered whether they might be merged into the article on Mintzberg, but I doubt they are in any sense his distinctive ideas.
- Ethique: nominated at AfD; notified Mazthecat (talk · contribs) 07:00, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Regardless of possible notability , this is hopelessly promotional; if the promotionalism were removed there would be no content besides a list of funding and a list of promotional awards. I actually made an effort at this, despite the fact that it was by a paid editor, but gave up when I realized it wasn't possible. I recognize this is an area where it is difficult to distinguish exceptionally promotional writing, because the entire industry is based on promotionalism -- but that is no reason why we should be a contributor to it. NOT ADVERTISING supersedes all considerations of of notability, though I do mention that I doubt notability also--all the support for this is essential mere notices of funding and PR, none of which meets NCORP. I find it difficult to see how an article with a paragraph about the founder's "passion " for riding the world of plastic was ever approved. There was presumably equal passion for making money, or at least for being in a fashionable business. The least we can expect paid editors to do is not not write such obvious advertising here, whatever they may be in the habit of doing elsewhere.
- Alex Millmow: nominated at AfD; notified HedgedbySeville (talk · contribs) 21:04, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional and non-notable Fails WP:PROF and GNG, and certainly fails the much more important NOT ADVERTISING (TimTrent is not the creator--it's an artifact of a self-move from AfC by the obviously coi editor, who would seem an undeclared paid editor for Federation University Australia--I'm checking their other articles).Two books only, one of which is the thesis--neither are in many libraries. The "frequent commentary" are his own publications, which are too minor for PROF and self-published as far as GNG is concerned.do not amount to notability.The award is a blatantly promotional award from his own university. ,
- Jackie Baumgarten: nominated at AfD; notified Rimsroot (talk · contribs) 05:26, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of notability, besides placement on a list. The refs are promotional or mere notices
- Organisational ideology: nominated at AfD; notified Martynas Patasius (talk · contribs) 18:09, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: totally vague and unencyclopedic , and presented as if it were the only theory of organized behavior. see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Organisation's goals (2nd nomination)
- Kidnapping of Angela Hammond: nominated at AfD; notified Darrelljon (talk · contribs) 04:54, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: there is probably additional local coverage, but the event itself is relatively trivial
- Air Training Corps Association of New Zealand: nominated at AfD; notified Majorconvenience (talk · contribs) 04:56, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: apparently no thirdparty sources, nor would I expect there to be any
- QuestionPro Inc.: nominated at AfD; notified SeaWhiteBird (talk · contribs) 01:21, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: fails WP:NNCORP.The references are all either PR, such as the article in People, or notes entirely about funding or staffing . Ref 1, in the NY Times, is a mere mention in a general article--not even a compelte sentence
- Third Party Mechanic: nominated at AfD; notified Seraphim3 (talk · contribs) 01:35, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Six of the 7 references here are about a single relatively minor case. The 7th is from the organization itself.
- Iamhere (social movement): nominated at AfD; notified Laterthanyouthink (talk · contribs) 01:38, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is advocacy. Although for a worthy cause, it's still advocacy The eferences are almsot entire based on the organization's interviews or PRs. (It might be hard to do anything else, as there seem to be no actual accomplishments)
- Isola (Company): nominated at AfD; notified CaliViking (talk · contribs) 04:13, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: fails NCORP. no substantial coverage
- RB Collection: nominated at AfD; notified Alruozzi (talk · contribs) 04:54, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: moved by the author from Draft without review at afc. It would't have passed if it had been reviewed, since it has insufficient sources for notability and is basically an advertisement

- Scott's Law: nominated at AfD; notified JustinMal1 (talk · contribs) 22:03, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

- Qadhi Saeed Almurooshid: nominated at AfD; notified Iskandar 323 (talk · contribs) 02:37, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: non-notable based a single press release, None of the positions imply notability, nd no reason to think any other ones would be substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, not press releases or blogs or postings or mere notices
- Draft:Manscaped: nominated at MfD; notified Iskandar 323 (talk · contribs) 02:47, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Deleted multiple times by multiple reviewers. Highly promotional, and there will never by a possible article.
- Draft:Manscaped: nominated at MfD; notified Iskandar 323 (talk · contribs) 02:55, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Declined 7 times by 6 different reviewers. The references are PR, and promotional interviews. No chancefor an article.
- Beijing Watch Factory: nominated at AfD; notified Aldis90 (talk · contribs) 23:17, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Insufficient references and material to show notability
- Art into Acres: nominated at AfD; notified Sharon Herrera (talk · contribs) 20:15, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The articles is entirely composed of name dropping of people who have contributed to the project.
- Invitational education: nominated at AfD; notified Moeduc (talk · contribs) 00:03, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I don't think this article as any meaningful content. It's apparent an invented concept for what most people call "Teaching"
- 4Girls: nominated at AfD; notified Tuchmajer (talk · contribs) 00:33, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A promotional article, with no substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, .The first Hebrew reference is their own web site, the second a promotional interview where the representatives of the company says whatever they care to (and is therefore not independent). Essentially everything else is a mere directory listing.
- Chatty Café Scheme: nominated at AfD; notified Chris Howard (talk · contribs) 07:36, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional article with insufficient references. Consensus has always been that MBE andOBE are not intrinsically notable.
- Gundisalvus of Lagos: nominated at AfD; notified RickMorais (talk · contribs) 07:40, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of notability. . Even if we were to consider all RC saints notable, he is not yet a Saint.,
- Draft:Kaynemaile Architectural Mesh: nominated at MfD; notified Understood12 (talk · contribs) 18:02, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Submitted three times in quick succession by by apparent coi editor
- Grooveshark University: nominated at AfD; notified Agamid (talk · contribs) 20:12, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Almost every source is eithe a notice in the local paper, or the company's own PR
- Boatsetter: nominated at AfD; notified Bluesistico (talk · contribs) 22:34, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Every accessible reference here is a promotional interview where the proporietor explains the merits of his scheme--these are not acceptable references for meeting WP:NCORP>
- Bharatiya Jain Sanghatana: nominated at AfD; notified Hazarasp (talk · contribs) 05:57, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Thee seem to be insufficient substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, not press releases or blogs or postings or mere notices See also Draft:Shantilal Muttha
- Cornerstone OnDemand: nominated at AfD; notified Wall-Eeeastly (talk · contribs) 06:01, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

- Harvard Foundation: nominated at AfD; notified Quincytzboy (talk · contribs) 21:06, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No third party sources except for a mention in a book. No documentation of individual awards, and nothing seems available except announcements of those awards.
- Will Powers (doctor): nominated at AfD; notified Likeanechointheforest (talk · contribs) 00:02, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: An interesting combination of an advertisement for a physician sourced to press releases, and a tragic account of the death of two cats. Neither half is encyclopedic. Originally submitted as draft with the title Will Powers (physician), and quite reasonably declined twice by two different reviewers. Resubmitted a third term (with a slightly variant title) and also entered directly into mainspace. The photo was taken by the contributor of the article. NOT ADVERTISEMENT and NOT NEWS.
- Pseudolife: nominated at AfD; notified Pek~enwiki (talk · contribs) 08:21, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a mere definition, for a term being used in a very idiosyncratic way,
- Peter Samsonov: nominated at AfD; notified Joeylonglegs (talk · contribs) 08:26, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: historian, with two publication, neither significant, (in almost no libraries a./c worldcat)and a blog about Soviet tanks. This does not meet WP:PROF nor WP:GNG
- Khali Sweeney: nominated at AfD; notified Alwayslearnedstuff (talk · contribs) 17:20, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No apparent notability except for Downtown Boxing Gym Youth Program, a local youth gym with a very promotional article created by the same editor. I don't think there's even justification for a redirect.
- Azimo: nominated at AfD; notified MSteinburg (talk · contribs) 13:42, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails current standard of WP:NCORP. Almost all the information is about financing and routine features. Most of what look like good refs, like BBC, are actually promotional interviews where the founder says what they please.
- Halley School 7: nominated at AfD; notified The Iowan Unicorn (talk · contribs) 11:04, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: on local list of landmarks, but not on state or national list.. I do not think that;s enough, given there are no substantial 3rd party refs.
- Jay Sidhu: nominated at AfD; notified Financeindia (talk · contribs) 06:19, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a pure press release: referring to him by his first name, relying on sources like Businesswire, a publication whose only purpose it to publish press releases, sources from his own firm, and promotional interviews. As one would expect, it was started by an obvious coi editor , and apparently much revised by others. He might or might not be notable, but the article would have to be started over. The guideline here is TNT.
- George Brooksbank (business executive): nominated at AfD; notified Piers Armstrong (talk · contribs) 06:41, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: non-notable as a businessperson, and, I think, as a cricketeer. Head of a small investment company--the usual level at which these have substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, not press releases or blogs or postings or mere notices is about $1 billion assets under management--but his firm have GBP 70 million. The references are entirely notices about property purchases and financing.or profiles based on self-reported information.
- Oxagile: nominated at AfD; notified Forevertim (talk · contribs) 06:53, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

- Samuel Thayer (author): nominated at AfD; notified Steven C. Price (talk · contribs) 08:46, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

[edit]- Applause (software company): nominated at AfD; notified Eharrison3 (talk · contribs) 21:11, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: fails NCORP: Everything here is a mere announcement. or a mention
- Affinia Group: nominated at AfD; notified PRupp89 (talk · contribs) 00:36, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Everything in the article is the sort of content which would be of no interest to anyone not connected with the firm--I don't think this would be of interest even to its customers.Its sourced to mere announcements--even the 2 nyt itrms ae just announcement of the sale of the firm
- Men Are Like Waffles — Women Are Like Spaghetti: nominated at AfD; notified Neelix (talk · contribs) 01:30, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: One of a range of books by these authors--this has particularly few reviews and library holdings (about 200 worldcat, which for books of this genre is very low). I have been unable to find any serious reviews in a major publiation. .
- The honors college at the university of houston: nominated at AfD; notified Harleyhiker (talk · contribs) 16:59, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Promotional and not notable in its own right. It is not a college in the usual sense of the word. It is not a separate institution. It does not have its own building, but uses space in various parts of other buildings on campus. It does not teach its own courses, except for the one mentioned. It's important only to those associated with the university, or those thinking of attending it--and a focus on prospective students or clients is pretty much the definition of promotionalism
- Eduardo Castañón: nominated at AfD; notified Gencepor (talk · contribs) 17:21, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Only two significantly cited articles. It is not true that every single medical scientist working on problems related to COVID is notable enough to have an article here.
- Mariama Bawumia: nominated at AfD; notified DaSupremo (talk · contribs) 04:35, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of notability .Obituaries, but there are nno specific accomplishments behind them--except that she is the mother of the vice-president . The rule is NOT INHERITED.
- Orm family: nominated at AfD; notified SiliconProphet (talk · contribs) 05:45, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

- Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh University: nominated at AfD; notified Uttarpradeshi (talk · contribs) 22:16, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

- Downtown Boxing Gym Youth Program: nominated at AfD; notified Alwayslearnedstuff (talk · contribs) 00:50, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: this is a local organization which has never attracted any notice outside its own city.
- Michael R. Wessel: nominated at AfD; notified Zigzig20s (talk · contribs) 22:25, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: political operative & commentator -- i do not ses the basis for notability
- Joe Nocera: nominated at AfD; notified Christofurio (talk · contribs) 03:01, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional biography of a newspaper columnist, sourced to his own work. The purpose of his job is to give his opinions; the purpose of WP is not to repeat them.
- Padma Rao Sundarji: nominated at AfD; notified DivineTogether (talk · contribs) 20:42, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: non-notable journalist. One fairly low level award, and one non-important book. Fails WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG
- Brighten A Day: nominated at AfD; notified Juyster (talk · contribs) 00:20, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I don't think this should have been accepted, despite the references. This is trivial human interest, published for the customary human interest reasons of being connected with attractive young people doing something t interesting at an unusually early age. That's enoughfor a newspaper, but not an encyclopedia
- Gamefam: nominated at AfD; notified WaddlesJP13 (talk · contribs) 04:13, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not my field, but the sources do not seem to actually show notability , and there do not seem to be any actually notable games yet produced.
- Research Foundation to Cure AIDS: nominated at AfD; notified KambizShekdar (talk · contribs) 23:30, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: They seem never to have actually discovered or even developed anything, but have a license to use a patented technology to do so. The article serves mainly to hold links to the notable scientists who have actually worked in this specific area, and to discuss the need for the treatment they hope to eventually commercialize, and to say why the potential treatment would be important if they ever do commercialize it. In other words, this is pure PR
- Abdulfattah Sharaf: nominated at AfD; notified Iskandar323 (talk · contribs) 04:46, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: regionalCEO of an international bank. The references are just routine noticesof appointments, notsubstantialcoverage.
- Microsoft Research Asia: nominated at AfD; notified Luogang.china (talk · contribs) 05:40, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

- Fred Muwema: nominated at AfD; notified Sulahboy (talk · contribs) 08:15, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no 3rd party sources except promotional interviews
- Tarun pal singh: nominated at AfD; notified Tpsingh23 (talk · contribs) 08:17, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: not notable by usual wp standards. No clear sources.
- Biotechnology Innovation Organization: nominated at AfD; notified Jjh333 (talk · contribs) 04:14, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Relatively small lobbying organization. References are from its own publications, and from mere announcements.
- The Shipyard District, Inc.: nominated at AfD; notified Satoshistan (talk · contribs) 08:44, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: poorly defined district in a city-- non-notable
- SurveySparrow: nominated at AfD; notified Simplewikipedian (talk · contribs) 08:45, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

- Rockin' Jump: nominated at AfD; notified CaptainNews (talk · contribs) 08:48, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

October 2021
[edit]- William Alexander (architect): nominated at AfD; notified Seasider53 (talk · contribs) 09:34, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I see no evidence of notability except listing in a directory, nor does his work seem of particular importance.
- Zion Clark: nominated at AfD; notified Lamaybe (talk · contribs) 09:36, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: utterly trivial. This belongs in Guiness, not an encyclopedia
- Qualia (company): nominated at AfD; notified Ricecakes55 (talk · contribs) 09:37, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NCORP. Almost all the referencces are routine notices about funding and the like,
- Python Software Foundation: nominated at AfD; notified Chmod007 (talk · contribs) 09:35, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: almost no independent references
- Simon Dawlat: nominated at AfD; notified Von Stanckh (talk · contribs) 19:32, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: the article is not about him, but his two companies, neither of which are notable. this is pure promotionalism , translated from the equally promotionalism article in the frWP.
- Natalie Cohen: nominated at AfD; notified SouperStarz (talk · contribs) 19:47, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not really my field, so I may be judging wrong, but she seems to have had minor roles only, and the references are not substantial 3rd party reliable published sources, but press releases or blogs or mere notices
- Princess Annie-Laurie von Auersperg: nominated at AfD; notified CatchedY (talk · contribs) 08:58, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: sociality. None of the content of the article is about her actual work, but rather about her family.
- Marek Sacha: nominated at AfD; notified Saniorita (talk · contribs) 10:15, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: any notability is derivative from his company, caracare--which its itself a promotional article of doubtful encyclopedic content.
- Michelle McMurry-Heath: nominated at AfD; notified Tarselli (talk · contribs) 09:55, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: executive of an organizartion also nominated for deletion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Biotechnology Innovation Organization there is certainly no justifcation for two articles; this is a typical PR technique, and good evidence that neither is actually notable
- Michael Johnson (scientist): nominated at AfD; notified Jesswade88 (talk · contribs) 09:58, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Science blogger. no signifcant publication so does not meet WP:PROF. I don't think there;s evidence here for WP:GNG either.
- Multimodal cancer therapy: nominated at AfD; notified TiagoLubiana (talk · contribs) 00:41, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a dictionary entry
- Ester Macrì: nominated at AfD; notified Dave12121212 (talk · contribs) 08:55, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: non notable by WP:PROF: extremely low citations for her papers; 9, 5, 2, 1 No indication that her book is importantk of that she meets WP:GNG
- Hennesy Carolina: nominated at AfD; notified EleonorA125 (talk · contribs) 08:57, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: noindividualnotability -- only in the contest of her notable sister
- Joana D'Arc Félix de Souza: nominated at AfD; notified Jesswade88 (talk · contribs) 20:21, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: ::not notable as a chemist. 4 papers on organic synthesis of alkaloids with her thesis advisor, Google Scholar citations from 20 to 40. The later work on reusing wastes is trivial, and uncited. I don't think it's enough of a scandal to meet WP:CRIME, and I'd remove on BLP grounds.
- Draft:Pragmatic Sanction of Charles III of Spain: nominated at MfD; notified RoanokeVirginia (talk · contribs) 04:32, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: unnecessary version of Pragmatic sanction of Naples.
- Talk:Rafeeq Saudagar: nominated at MfD; notified Lepricavark (talk · contribs) 22:05, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Head of a local branch of an organization, One trivial poetry prize, and a physician,. None of this is notable. Some local PR coverage, but no wider attention.
- EVie (company): nominated at AfD; notified Jèrriais janne (talk · contribs) 22:25, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: extremely small exrtemely local company--the only reason I can figure out for it getting any press attention at all is because its so absurdly insignificant.
- John McPheters: nominated at AfD; notified TineWiki (talk · contribs) 01:43, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not sure why this was not noticed at the earlier afD. There is no apparent notability besides his company The only article about him is the interview in complex,.com and it's a tradition promotional interview, where h e says how good he is
- Missing middle housing: nominated at AfD; notified Jennvirskus (talk · contribs) 08:49, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The concept is notable -- it's known as Affordable housing. The particular term is used only by Parolek and his firm of designers.In WP, every time the term is found ,it's just a link to his work. Perhaps there's material here that could be used, but as a term used by a single design firm, I'm not sure it would otherwise be worth even a redirect. The other possibility is that he or his firm might be notable.
- Element Anti-Virus: nominated at AfD; notified Patternjake (talk · contribs) 08:52, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of notability -- mostly trivial or promotional reviews. The material on Softpedia is an advertisement. Software informer is a brief review only.
- Artur Albarran: nominated at AfD; notified Andreasbonde (talk · contribs) 00:56, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Hopelessly incompetent translation from the Portuguese. Listed on Pages Needed translation since April without response. No point in draftifying, as the creator has been blocked as a sockpuppet, the article is highly promotional , and the individual only marginally notable
- Indian Society for Training and Development: nominated at AfD; notified Sajidnasar4 (talk · contribs) 20:26, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Every reference is either an uncritical interview with them, or a mere mention, or other PR,
- Tehreek-e-Soutul Auwliya: nominated at AfD; notified Ttttt321 (talk · contribs) 02:19, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Involvement or sponsorship of a variety of minor events; basically advertorial. Routine references on he events-- provincial acope only.
- Stephen Hogan: nominated at AfD; notified Supermann (talk · contribs) 02:31, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Does not appear to have had any really major roles; a lot of minor ones--mostly as figures in minor documentaries-- doesn't make for a notable actor. I don't see that any of the references discusses him in a substantial way--they're reviews of the minor films which, naturally mention him .
- Sajan Raj Kurup: nominated at AfD; notified ChetanVengurlekar (talk · contribs) 05:22, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Promotional unaccepted draft article moved from draft out of process- clearly written by the subject themselves. I am unsure if notability is possible but it should not have been removed from draft at this point.
- Crowther Lab: nominated at AfD; notified Smmysrz (talk · contribs) 04:35, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a promotional duplication of the article on Thomas Crowther, an article on a notable scientist that has some similar promotional problems that I am in the process of fixing.All notable laboratory scientists in universities , run laboratories composed of a number of post-docs, grad students, technicians, usually undergraduates., and sometimes junior faculty. The work coming from the lab is normally funded by the research grants awarded to the faculty member as chief investigator, with often some institutional funds as well, and the faculty member is considered to have the responsibility of seeing that the work done is of high quality, and consequently competes with other faculty in the field for the best new postdocs and grad students. They may put their name on all the articles, some of the articles, or none of them--this is a matter of individual choice as well as convention in the field. There is normally no sense in which the work of the lab is independent of the faculty sponsor; the content of any article on the lab would have extensive overlap with the article on the scientist--as an indication, the bios of many scientists contain phrases such as "she and her associates" did whatever. If we allowed articles such as this, we would essentially have two articles on every notable scientist. Of course, there will be some few very exceptional scientists known as much for running a laboratory for others to work as for their own work, were it might be justified. and there might be justification for articles on particularly notable multi-lead investigator groups. In each of these cases, there will be extensive secondary literature about the laboratory as such. That's not the case here.
- Beringer Capital: nominated at AfD; notified And Adoil Descended (talk · contribs) 18:41, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: insufficient 3rd party substantial sourcing for WP:NCORP. Pitchbook is just a directory, giving directory information only.
November 2021
[edit]- Karan Tanna: nominated at AfD; notified Blackfishes (talk · contribs) 04:55, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

- Degasoline Motorsport: nominated at AfD; notified Fchi.beta (talk · contribs) 01:51, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I have no idea whether or not they are notable--it's not my field. But it's been in Draft for a while, and the only place to determine this is AfD. Ck article history for coi concerns.
- StudentUniverse: nominated at AfD; notified Skalleberga (talk · contribs) 23:23, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I deleted this as advertising under a variant title many years ago. It remains a cross between an advertisement and a company web page. It certainly fails the current version of WP:NCORP
- Hampton Towne Centre: nominated at AfD; notified TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs) 02:11, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: No evidence it was ever notable. The usual size when a mall is likely to have sources for notability is 1 million sq ft, but this mall had only one-third of that. Thus there are only local and first-party sourdces
- CohnReznick: nominated at AfD; notified Skiguy06880 (talk · contribs) 17:30, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: obvious promotional article for non notable firm. The various "awards" are just publicity gimmicks. The listingin Accounnting today is just a directory listing.Fails. NCIRO.
- OnePlus Nord 2 5G: nominated at AfD; notified Ghostofakina (talk · contribs) 17:31, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

- GRI Tires: nominated at AfD; notified TheLittleWhiteBoy (talk · contribs) 08:28, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence for notability under WP:NCoRP, and promotional
- Tammarrian Rogers: nominated at AfD; notified Kenshocon (talk · contribs) 04:25, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: mnon notable and promotional, based on PR sources. Forbes 50 top anything isa promotional gimmick like all similar lists, and to write wikipedia articles on the basis of being listed there is naïve. Ref 1, barely mentions her in a general article. Ref 2 is Forbes promoting its own lists, Ref .3 is a one paragraph highly promotional quote, but worth reading to see what people will say of themselves. Ref 4. is an interview where she says whatever she wants to in response to leading questions --and there's an advertising tie in--her firm is listing its jobs on the site. 5 & 6 I cannot see., but from the titles 5 is a promotional interview, and 6 is trivial..
- Mathew Tully: nominated at AfD; notified Mikeymike3 (talk · contribs) 06:07, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: There seems to be one significant case, which iis not enough for notability as a lawyer. The refs seem to emphasis his purple heart, the most trivial of US awards, tho he does have one higher--tho not high enough for notability in connection with it --I conclude that the purpose of this article is advertising his practice. .
- Arbour Square police station: nominated at AfD; notified AdamWikiPeedo (talk · contribs) 23:54, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I do not see that an individual polices station is likely to be notable; I see no evidence that this one is.
- Meghan Dressel: nominated at AfD; notified Tanis Coralee Leonhardi (talk · contribs) 04:00, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: wife of a celebrity athlete; a non-notable athlete in her own right. Basically promotional puffery.
- Institute for Black Catholic Studies: nominated at AfD; notified Natemup (talk · contribs) 04:03, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

- Nombulelo Mhlongo: nominated at AfD; notified Gihan Jayaweera (talk · contribs) 04:14, 20 November 2021 (UTC)

December 2021
[edit]- Quil Lemons: nominated at AfD; notified Ariel Cetrone (WMDC) (talk · contribs) 08:35, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I do not see how any of this. shows notability, under WP:creative of any other guideline. The first person to photograph a lead image for Vanity Fa r is not necessarily notable , all the more so the first person of any particular group. All 3 refsare promotional interviews, where he sayswhat he pleases. The similaritiesbetween them indicates the same likely pR source--nothin in any one of them is reliable, let alone for ablp.One of therefsdoes refer to an item in a show at MOMA--if he isis the permaenent collection, we would be notable. Perhaps that can be shown.
- Cashmere Nicole: nominated at AfD; notified Nana2021 (talk · contribs) 05:30, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: non-notable -- any notability is as head of a company---but the company itself is of no notability or even significance. The personal details about her life are inappro priate in an encyclopedia ,and would be better suited to a PR write up. There's. extensive name-dropping, and making much of minor charities. The refs, needless to say, are the expected promotional interviews.
- Aluko & Oyebode: nominated at AfD; notified Londstar6 (talk · contribs) 19:23, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional article by obvious undeclared coi editor (presumably paid) for the firm. It's a routine lawfirm, and most of the work shown here is just "advised so and so," not notable cases. Almost all the references are from the firm's web site, or are case reports, or mere notices. Part of a promotional effort for one of the firm's principals, see next AfD request
- Gbenga Oyebode: nominated at AfD; notified Londstar6 (talk · contribs) 19:24, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional article by obvious undeclared coi editor (presumably paid) for the firm. It's Principal of a routine lawfirm, and most of the work shown here is "advised so and so," rather than the major cases that usually lead to notable coverage. Almost all the references are from the firm's web site, or are case reports, or mere notices, or duplicate the refs for the bank, or are reports of minor honors. Part of a promotional effort for the firm's principals, see previous AfD request
- Raaz-e-Hayat: nominated at AfD; notified Insight 3 (talk · contribs) 19:59, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Using the google translation of references 2-4, they are all excerpts or possibly blurbs for the book, not substantial coverage.
- List of Lux girls in Pakistan: nominated at AfD; notified Insight 3 (talk · contribs) 20:07, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: We don't -- and shouldn't -- have an article on Lux girls. We certainly shouldn't have one for Lux Girls in Pakistan or any other country. The references are the expected tabloid coverage
- Davide Giri: nominated at AfD; notified Peter39c (talk · contribs) 10:54, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of lasting importance.
- Murder of Arthur Labinjo-Hughes: nominated at AfD; notified Llewee (talk · contribs) 11:00, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: no evidence of lasting importance. Written as a tabloid article with emphasis on the lurid details. If it proves notable in the paassage of time , it would need to be completely rewritten.
- Immersion Corporation: nominated at AfD; notified Jedi767 (talk · contribs) 01:24, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Many claims, but no actual notability. They have tried to introduce may things, none of them notable. Most of the references are mere notices, on suing and being sued for infringement, supplemented by a few promotional interviews. This is part of a not very skilled promotional campaign for its sister company, Immersion Corporation, and their founder, for whom see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Louis B. Rosenberg. (I am not nominating Immersion Corporation--I think I may have been able to fix it, but it anyone thinks it's still promotional and non-notable, please let me know when you place the AFD. )
- Dovi Frances: nominated at AfD; notified Sgpremier (talk · contribs) 07:04, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

- Reason: The award is the lowest rank of the order https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Federal_Republic and I can find nothing else that might possible amount to notability
- Michelle Zatlyn: nominated at AfD; notified Kenshocon (talk · contribs) 06:48, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Essentially every reference here, is a disguised autobiography (like the Globe and Mail article listed in the references as "Gale OneFile", which is just an aggregator), or a similar promotional interview where she says what she likes about herself, notices about placement on promotional lists (like two of Forbes multiple series of lists (Unless we are willing to accept that Young Global Leaders is a notable award; I consider it merely another promotional list, all of them designed for the purposes of PR). I think there's no point keeping promotional paid writers out of WP if we merely use what they got published elsewhere.
- Lake Shore Towers: nominated at AfD; notified Erebus555 (talk · contribs) 00:08, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can find no reliable sources--only the advertisements of real estate companiesBeware--do not try to find the actual official site -- the archives.org link given ,which i have now removed from the displayed version, does not work, and a direct search goes to malware.
- Discovery Gardens: nominated at AfD; notified Jpbowen (talk · contribs) 00:10, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

- Carbon Health: nominated at AfD; notified Tambourinist (talk · contribs) 03:16, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

- Phillip Kingston: nominated at AfD; notified Asxworldreporter (talk · contribs) 03:42, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

- Carla DiBello: nominated at AfD; notified Earnsthearthrob (talk · contribs) 09:09, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: article about a consultant with no specific accomplishments except having "worked with" the Khardisians and having "had a hand" in an important football deal. Also a film-maker with 2 non-notable films. The refs are mostly promotional interviews.

The first woman to graduate from medical college would certainly be extremely notable. :The first woman to graduate from a particular medical college might possibly be notable, but not the third; The first woman from a particularc ountry to graduate from medical school would certainly be notable. :The first woman from a particular country to graduate from a particular medical school might even conceivably be notable --but certainly not the 3rd "among first women from India to earn a medical degree" is meaningless--. The first would be, but not among the first. I strongly support the additional of all actually notable women to WP, and there are many thousands still to be done; I am willing to accept "firsts" of this sort despitethe fact that we're NOT GUINNESS--but this is getting absurd.There does not sem to be any other notability.
- Jebel Ali Village: nominated at AfD; notified Nabil rais2008 (talk · contribs) 05:27, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

- Graphene Flagship: nominated at AfD; notified Norma.jean (talk · contribs) 05:47, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

- Choroideremia Research Foundation: nominated at AfD; notified Toddbeckett (talk · contribs) 07:38, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: promotional and non-notable advocacy group with the references being either its own publications or the announcement of its programs. promotionalism is promotionalism regardless of the worthiness of the cause
- The Alaska Triangle: nominated at AfD; notified Another Believer (talk · contribs) 02:06, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

- Phil Lord (academic): nominated at AfD; notified Montrealguy123 (talk · contribs) 02:18, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable academic. Despite what the article says, he is not a professor--references from his college specify he is an Assistant Professor. Very few assistant professors are notable, especially those still in their second year. He has a great many publications, but Google scholar shows that none of them have been cited more than 13 times. Therefore he fails WP:PROF. All the references are either the announcements and faculty page from his college (which are reliable for plain facts, but not for notability ) or directory listings, or interviews with him where he says what he cares to. Therefore he fails WP:GNG.
- Earyn McGee: nominated at AfD; notified Gthh (talk · contribs) 05:31, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: notable neither under WP:PROF nor GNG. The references are not substantially about her as an individual, but as one of a group who helped form a notable organization. I do not think she was the lead figure in that--apparently Corrine Newsome was.

- Troutman Pepper: nominated at AfD; notified Cew3390 (talk · contribs) 05:05, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: insufficient evidence for notability o this law firm. The references are mere notices of routine business events, or a report of one oft he many cases every law firm by their very nature will engage in. It is not notable to simply win one suit for wrongful conviction. A google news search shows nothing more than announcements or their own advertisements.

- Keemstar: nominated at AfD; notified Saucy (talk · contribs) 21:31, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Very much not my field, but I noticed this because of the BLP concerns. Quite apart from the subject, there are a number of living people referred to, many in uncomplimentary terms, based on sourcing which is not acceptable for BLP. It could be argued that any of them are public figures just as much as he is, but this doesnt in my opinion justify an article mainly featuring the negative interactions among them. Apart from being basically written as a BLP violation, sources seem utterly unsubstantial, and I think the appropriate rule is NOTTABLOID. Some of the sources merely cite him peripherally; many are basically promotional notices. I do not know to what extent this is the standard of referencing and article writing in this subject; if most other articles are like this, we should reconsider how we deal with the field
- Shelley Sullivan: nominated at AfD; notified SnesFer (talk · contribs) 22:17, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Hopelessly promotional and so minimally notable (if at all) to be not worth fixing. Most of the references are promotional or trivial material. Most of the content is, correspondingly, trivial or promotional material. The original editor in 2007 was a single purpose editor who has not contributed anything else at all almost all subsequent edits were made by a succession of other spas, culminating in someone whose username was so obvious as to attract attention, (Rebecca Sullivan ModelCo )
- Neighborhoods of West Lafayette, Indiana: nominated at AfD; notified Huwmanbeing (talk · contribs) 22:39, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

- Neighborhoods of Lafayette, Indiana: nominated at AfD; notified Huwmanbeing (talk · contribs) 22:39, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Slightly more justifed than the corresponding article for West Lafayette: all the blue links are historic districts and justify their separate articles . But there's still no reason for a list outside the main article, which is where anyone interested would look,
- GRT Jewellers: nominated at AfD; notified Ravichandar84 (talk · contribs) 19:10, 13 January 2022 (UTC)

- Red Hill School: nominated at AfD; notified Jolly Lolly (talk · contribs) 05:49, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Primary schools usually do not get articles, and this article shows why: The only independent sources are totally unsubstantial: The 1960 article from The Canberra Times is less than 100 words long' the Riotact article is from a community newspaper and is about a parking fee dispute..
- Hertz Nazaire: nominated at AfD; notified OGfromtheGut (talk · contribs) 18:13, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

- University of Toronto Department of Chemistry: nominated at AfD; notified Danhaves (talk · contribs) 01:00, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: We almost never make articles on individual departments of a university-- even a very major one like Toronto--unless there are very good third party sources, specifically about the department, not the individual people on the faculty. Everything subsstantial here is first party.
- The Golden Bengal Tea: nominated at AfD; notified AbuSayeed (talk · contribs) 16:06, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Advertisement, though I think without coi. Even the title use the trade name, complete with "The" The sources are all identical or almost identical, apparently copies of the same press release (as far as I could judge by Google translate). I couldn't copy The Wall to translate it, and abplive is at least partially rewritten, but uses the same phrases. Is there any independent source that is not a press release? Several other teas also show up in Google, from different places and with different names, all claiming to be the most expensive tea in the world, such as "Silver Tips Imperial"
- Disappearance of Christina Calayca: nominated at AfD; notified DinoBenn (talk · contribs) 00:02, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I am not sure what our current standards are, but there is almost no coverage since 2009, therefore possibly not of continuing encyclopedic interest. The article emphasizes details that would seem to be of relevance only in the immediate period, or to those actively engaged in the search for her.

- Draft:Robert Clinton Bogard: nominated at MfD; notified Pip Squeak patty number one (talk · contribs) 11:06, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a personalized political biography of a small town politician, designed for the promotion of the subject and the promulagation of his views. It has no place in an encyclopedia--It's a misuse of WP. If he ever were to become notable, it would need to be started over by someone with the blatant and onvious conflict of interest.
- Draft:PageCDN: nominated at MfD; notified Hamdusa (talk · contribs) 11:09, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

- Priya Sachdev: nominated at AfD; notified Shalimar2002z (talk · contribs) 05:53, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Pure PR. Even the Times of India ref is written as Pr, as can be seen by reading it. Most of the others are similar. The item in Entrepreneur she wrote herself. The NYT articles is about someone else--she's just mentioned.
- Simon Harrison (broker): nominated at AfD; notified Artaxerxes (talk · contribs) 11:02, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

- Esther Agbarakwe: nominated at AfD; notified Blossom Ozurumba (talk · contribs) 01:05, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: not yet notable. Received minor awards for "youth activism", which is a polite way of saying that people think she might one day be notable. The references are either mere notices, or promotional "interviews" such as the one in Bellanaija, where she talks about herself and why she thinks she's importanty. The interviewer just gives her a platform to promote herself and her causes
- OnTheClock (web app): nominated at AfD; notified Cyekii209 (talk · contribs) 01:24, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

- Harold Gunness: nominated at AfD; notified L'Origine du monde (talk · contribs) 06:56, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I listed this for proposed deletion as "no actual notability -- merely being the last surviving veteran of a military expedition is not notability" ; the prod was removed by Necrothesp , with the comment "deprod; we have usually found the last surviving veteran from a particular country of a particular war to be notable"; simultaneously the original and only contributor to the article,L'Origine du monde commented: "I'm fine with deletion - I couldn't find any reliable sources for him." I would accordingly have speedy deleted it as A6, but I think it is fairer to bring it here for a decision.

- Bolaji Alonge: nominated at AfD; notified Norma.jean (talk · contribs) 21:56, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This is advertising. No matter how notable his work may or may not be, the tone is that of a promotional brochure--to the extent that it might also be copyvio. Since there is no evidence any of the exhibitions are significant, there's no basis for rewriting the article.
- Buchalter: nominated at AfD; notified CoachCarter14 (talk · contribs) 06:03, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

- Reason: This reads as a promotional article for a charity--but, it isn't coi; its the product of a WP Ed course in promotional writing.: [13]In one sense the course was successful: it taught how to write advertising copy. In another it was altogether misconceived--teaching how to write promotionalism is the worst possible assignment for WP editing. It's teaching people how to destroy WP.
- Patrick Herning: nominated at AfD; notified Unheardguru (talk · contribs) 01:33, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: There are references, but they are essentially all the sort of self-serving "interview" where the person says what they please about themselves, or notices about their brands. The contents of the article is a list of investments and brands, enhanced by marketing platitudes. If by any chance this should be kept the next step will be to merge in the articles about his companies, which say essentially the same thing

[edit]- Mohsen Naghavi: nominated at AfD; notified Pirhayati (talk · contribs) 02:28, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Google Scholar does show him as one of the authors in several dozen papers with hundreds or thousands of citations each. However, he is one of the several hundred researchers part of the Global Burden of Disease study, and each of these dozens of highly cited papers lists every possibly relevant one of them and thus having several hundred authors each, or, in some specialized topics, dozens of authors each. According to his CV, he is currently head of the University of Washington's institute for health metrics and evaluation , which runs this and similar projects and is there included on all of their papers. This does not mean he has any special academic or scientific responsibility for any or all of them, any more than the Dean of the School would have if he insisted on putting his name on everything the school produced. In this situation the ordinary WP:PROF guidelines fail. He might have been notable as a research before being an administrator, but this is not shown; our standards for being a notable administrator discuss only being president of a n institution or head of an independent school. I am not saying an adequate article would be impossible, but this is not. I will gladly withdraw the afd is someone wishes to clarify the role(s), and can find good 3rd party truly independent references for his importance as an administrator that are more than the usual PR.We've had a number of similar papers in the physical sciences for people who are just one of a group --usually I would have no hesitation in rejecting them as non-notable , but he might possibly be in a more important actual position than just member
- Marty Kemp: nominated at AfD; notified Gamera 1965-2006 (talk · contribs) 06:18, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: There is no presumption tha the gives of state governors are notable, and the main reference at least tis unabashed pr, were she says whatever she (or her pr agenta) wants to. Her own accomplishments do not amount to notability
- Society Stores Supermarkets: nominated at AfD; notified Fsmatovu (talk · contribs) 22:44, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

- Jenna Bryant: nominated at AfD; notified Stravensky (talk · contribs) 07:18, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

- Reason: This is a cv of a non-notable businessperson. "Head of Sustainability" is not a major position. The references are not truly independent, (Ref 1 is a promotional cv, r. 2 is just social media, r.3 is no longer in existence, and r. 4 is a press release.

- Reason: certainly coi and prob autobio. Essentially a post-doc, "Not Yet Notable". Gooogle Scholar shows only one highly cited paper, but it's a large group effort where she is one of 43 authors.

[edit]- Ladies Learning Code: nominated at AfD; notified Bchard25 (talk · contribs) 05:32, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Essentially all of the sources are their own press releases, and the content of the article reads as if this too is a press release. The article is 5 years out of date--I made a search for additional and especially current sources and found nothing except press releases and notices of meeting--the only possibly usable one was [14] from the Toronto Sun, but it too is a collection of statements from supporters. If there were to be an article, it would make more sense for it to be on the overall organization,, Canada Learning Code--some of the statistics here are from that, and some from this section, and some from related allied sections. I am always conflicted when I list for deletion articles on excellent projects such as this -- they generally deserve to become notable , and I do share the feeling that perhaps an appropriate part of our role is to help them. But it isn't: we're not a directory, not even a directory of everything good that is in some way related to our own initiatives. I tend to deal with it by letting pass the ones that are written as real articles, rather than collections of buzzwords, and focussing on the ones like this where every major contributor is a single purpose account.
