Xêro Abbas

Semi-advertorialized ("on his return he kissed his land and this attitude of his was welcomed by the people with great enthusiasm and love") WP:BLP of a musician not properly sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to show certain specific markers of achievement supported by reliable sourcing -- but this essentially just claims that he exists, expresses his significance in terms of flowery fluff like the quote I highlighted above rather than quantifiable achievements, and is referenced solely to a single unreliable source rather than any WP:GNG-worthy coverage. And the interlangs to the Arabic and Kurdish Wikipedias also don't feature any other reliable sourcing that could be pulled over to salvage this: the Kurdish one cites only the same unreliable source, while the Arabic one cites one different primary source and one circular citation to the Kurdish Wikipedia, neither of which are valid support for notability either.
As I can't read the Arabic or Kurdish languages, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody who can read those languages is able to find sufficient GNG-worthy coverage to salvage this and neutralize the advertorialism, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced better than this.

Hearth Party

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

This political party has sources, but seems completely trivial within politics. Ran in the 2024 Turkish local elections and gathered 2000 of 46 million votes. When reaching such an incredibly low level of relevance in politics, it is of no encyclopedic interest which hand gestures they like or how they view Atatürk. Geschichte (talk) 09:41, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Merge I think it should be marged and redirected, into a new 'Hearth Party' section on the Ottoman Hearths article as it is the 'political wing' of that group, both are stubs and there seems to be some considerable overlap already. I don't read turkish (and google translate struggles!) but most of the sources seem to talk about them together. JeffUK 10:45, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Delete. This is a ridiculously short list, shorter, even, than the list at Hammett acidity function (not Hammett acidity as given by Pygos, which doesn't exist).

Yet another article on a musician who has done literally nothing notable to pass WP:NMUSICIAN. Sources from here and a cursory search suggests nothing useful. They're either interviews with the subject, or routine coverages that are entirely dependent on the subject. This is, as usual, a properly written article from the author on a non-notable musician to pretend notability. Also, the TurnTable Certification System of Nigeria is dubious in its entirety.

Comment: Has written more than one major hit record, automatically meets WP:COMPOSER, just like a scriptwriter or director who has directed multiple award-winning movies. Even if he doesn't pass GNG, but passes WP:FILMS, he automatically establishes notability. Likewise he passes WP:ANYBIO, with a special recognition from The Recording Academy as a composer. One last thing, I would say the coverage for example [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], add up to a GNG pass, with an extensive list of production and songwriting credits from "No Girlfriend No Problem", "Away", "One Side", "Yawa No Dey End", "My Baby", and many more.--Afí-afeti (talk) 09:35, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

Non-notable businessman. All sources are PR, and I found no reliable sources online. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 04:06, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I've added the {{not a ballot}} template on top, seeing how the previous AfD was filled with socks and SPAs. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 04:08, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

I did my research and read the previous AfD as well. The issues raised in the previous AfD were addressed. I do not think it is right to say sources are PR. For instance, the source with https://aec.afdb.org/ is from African Economic Conference (the equivalent of World Economic Conference in Africa) of African Development Bank (the equivalent of World Bank in Africa). My judgement is that an institution of this nature cannot be regarded as PR Source. Again, from my research, one of the sources TimesKuwait has been in the media space since 1996 and another The African Times have been around since 1989. These are independent sources in their own right. Another source - https://aviationbusinessjournal.aero/ is an influential aviation magazine. Since the subject is a top airline business executive, the rest sources are travel and aviation magazines including one that is associated with Havard. So I think the claim questioning the reliability of the sources is wrong. Again, compare the first article and this article and you will see that all issues violated by the first editor were fixed in this new article. The subject is a notable african airline executive in Africa and North America and I think it should stay with subsequent improvements as with all wikipedia articles. Cheers ! Astra Los Angeles (talk) 08:50, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Delete: Well, it's not a puffy as last time, but the "group vice president for customer experience" is very much a mid-level business executive, just above the rank and file. Sourcing now is largely from trade magazines, so nothing has changed since last time. Still a !delete. Oaktree b (talk) 15:20, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
Comment: The VP is not a mid-level executive. See this [7] Further research here [8] also shows that there are C, V, D and B level executives and the only category rated as mid level executives here are the B level [9]. VPs fall under the V-suite that are rated senior executives and their roles or level of power depends on the organization and the country. Let's refer to the company itself. The GVP is included in Ethiopian Airlines senior level leadership team as captured here [10] but debating whether VP is a notable position or not is not the main crux and we have to refer to the Wikipedia guidelines on notability here Wikipedia:Notability (people) to consider whether the subject meets the notability criteria. First, the sources are independent and sources like the African Development Bank and the African Business Club of Harvard Business School [11] both mentioned the subject's receipt of US Presidential Lifetime Award which recognizes his contributions. Ethiopian Airline is Africa's largest airline and the subject was its face in North America for two years. Even though the VP is a notable position, the subject is not listed here because he is a VP. He is listed here because he is covered by several independent sources (especially in the african aviation industry where he belongs), the role he played in the airline industry during the COVID pandemic as MD in Canada (that earned him the NCBN Business person of the year award in 2021) and the significant award he bagged in the U.S IN 2023 as contained in the sources. When you look at the profiles of many CEOs on wikipedia including the current CEO of ethiopian airlines, that of this subject has more weight. You can be an ordinary classroom teacher and do big things. In the african aviation industry, the subject has earned it.

Comment: For perspective, he is (or was) one in a list of 179 similar people [12], so this is very much not a notable position. Oaktree b (talk) 15:22, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
Comment: That is a yet to be updated website page. This is the current page for Ethiopian Airline corporate executive Team [13] - the apex leadership and management team of the company. The subject is listed there. Astra Los Angeles (talk) 09:12, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
One from a group of 16 isn't really helping your argument; we aren't LinkedIn, where every person gets an article. Being listed on a corporate website does not in any way show notability. Oaktree b (talk) 05:27, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
Comment: Your first argument was that "it was one out of 179" and the comment provided in response was only to provide evidence/source to show that the claim was no longer true. Glad you have seen that it is no longer 1 out of 179 but 1 out of 16. Now you talk about being listed on a corporate website. If you read the article, there was no where that the link to the corporate website of the organization was used as reference to validate the subject's position. The subject notability is not hinged on whether he is/was 1 out of 179 or 10 out 10 or whatever number. The corporate website I pointed you was just for the purposes of this discussion/to make clarifications that you needed. I agree with you that we aren't LinkedIn where every person gets an article but you should agree with me that a foreign business executive who receives a US Presidential Lifetime award while serving in the US should get an article among other things listed in the article. You should also note that such recognition was recognized by sources like the continent's development bank, a Harvard affiliated group and other industry sources(which were added to the article). It was never about the position being top, mid or bottom as you want it to be narrowed. Remember to assume good faith Astra Los Angeles (talk) 08:44, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Keep: The subject's notability stems not just from holding a VP position but from significant, independently verifiable achievements in the African aviation industry. Credible sources, such as the African Development Bank and the African Business Club of Harvard, highlight his receipt of the U.S. Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award and his recognised contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic. These accomplishments go beyond routine duties, making him a notable figure in his field. The sources cited meet Wikipedia's reliability standards, and the article addresses prior issues raised in earlier AfDs.

Article lacks multiple sources with significant coverage (WP:BIO asks for multiple sources). The most substantial source is the first in the article, a short article in a newspaper.[14] Source 2 is a primary source listing higher-ups in a given organization.[15] Source 3 is a very short mention in a newspaper.[16] Source 4 is used to mention her role as an interim administrator, but with no other notable events occurring during the period. Source 5 is another primary source. A google search for more coverage yielded only social media. Wizmut (talk) 03:18, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Delete. A regional leader and one-time interim leader of a 5k-person neopagan sect is not enough for automatic notability; we need WP:GNG-based in-depth coverage in publications independent of her and of the sect.

The article was tagged for notability by Randykitty in 2021. A detailed review reveals an over-reliance on self-references and directory websites. There is no indication of notability, and no independent, reliable sources are available to support the subject.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 03:10, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Keep. Finding third party coverage of academic journals in Arabic is not an easy task and I’m not sure the infrastructure even exists to query it as we could an English language journal. In the absence of a hard policy on notability for academic journals I would give considerable weight to its longevity and links with higher education, alongside the fact that it clearly isn’t pumping out pseudoscience or acting as a vehicle for cranks. In any case its important enough for Lebanon’s national news agency to announce the publication of each new issue (1 and 2) and for the news of each issue to be covered in the national press (3 and 4).

Very minor, likely non-notable SoundCloud/Bandcamp musician.

Keep. Judging from the article itself, since the previous nomination, she has led a large team of software engineers to patch a notable public vulnerability, has become featured as a "Builder" on Mozilla, and has been covered in 2 tech articles from reliable sources. A google search reveals some more tech/programming articles like this (a more knowledgeable editor in this area should incorporate that into the article), and a National Review article that mentioned her political views. She's also apparently a globally top 300 Github contributor (probably the most notable thing on this list)

I'm not sure how nominator is evaluating whether notability was "sustained" -- did it hinge on OWS becoming more politically relevant? It was basically defunct by 2014. Getting repeated coverage in an entirely different field should make her more notable, not less. Of the three pro-delete comments in the previous nomination, two cited BLP concerns (i.e. that the article is overly negative on her), which no longer seem to be the case; and one cited BLP1E, which is clearly not the case anymore.

Vislor Turlough

AfDs for this article:

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

This is a renomination of the character; I had previously nominated this subject for deletion in June of last year, when I was less familiar with Wikipedia's guidelines and overall argumentation and source reliability, and also when I happened to be put in a real world position where I couldn't respond to the discussion effectively. With a broader understanding of Wikipedia's criterions, I'm going to give a significantly more in-depth nomination as to why this subject doesn't meet notability.

-The sources currently used in the article are weak. WhatCulture is unreliable per WP:WHATCULTURE, flickfilosopher, from its About page, appears to be a self-published blog, which is also unreliable. The third statement is dev info unrelated to public reception, which is also uncited.

-A search through News yielded little hits, both under the name "Vislor Turlough" and "Turlough (Doctor Who)". I got only the occasional listicle or unreliable source, and nothing of substance capable of being added to the article.

-Books yielded nothing bar trivial mentions of Turlough being a Companion during the period of the Fifth Doctor, or brief statements regarding Strickston's casting as the character. One hit in "Who is Who?" looked promising, but was ultimately less so about Turlough and primarily about the themes of the episode Enlightenment.

-Scholar yielded nothing bar a pair of Masters Theses, which are unreliable and did not appear to be cited anywhere else that would indicate reliability.

-The sources acknowledged in the last AfD are insufficient. I am unable to find anything on "Companions: Fifty Years of Doctor Who Assistants", which was mentioned in the last nomination, in terms of text contents, meaning the book's contents are unable to be verified, and thus its usability here is unreliable. If anyone can clarify this book's coverage, that would be appreciated, as it something I have been unable to find.

-The other sources are weak. "Doctor Who: The Companions" is a useful dev info source, but not usable for notability due to being written by John Nathan-Turner, the series' producer at the time of Turlough's appearance on the show, which falls under WP:PRIMARY. "Is there life outside the box?" also falls under PRIMARY due to being written by Peter Davison, a co-star on the series who was highly involved with the series' production. "Queers dig Time Lords" falls under the scope of WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS due to the character only being brought up as a past example of a queer character, with the bulk of analysis being on more recent characters like Captain Jack Harkness. The Fantasy Empire source is admittedly pretty solid, but that's about the only coverage that can be found that seems to be significant in nature.

One source is not an article make, and Turlough's distinct lack of coverage indicates that he has not received much coverage in any form since his introduction. A viable AtD is to Companion (Doctor Who) where the character is listed for his role. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:55, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Mike Yates

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

This character does not appear to be notable. Every source in the article is a primary citation, and a source search yields little else. While Yates is covered in brief in many articles, he is predominantly only mentioned due to his role in Invasion of the Dinosaurs. He is only mentioned in brief manners in every source discussing him, and is only talked about as an aspect of the episode. Some obituaries for his actor also exist, but these are predominantly mentioning Yates as a large role the actor played more than they are discussing Yates himself. The book "James Bond and Popular Culture" has a good short paragraph on his role, but that's about it. A viable AtD for this character is to UNIT, the organization Yates is apart of and associated with, and where Yates receives some mention.

Redirect to Super Friends#Characters - Not only is this current list lacking in any reliable, secondary sources, many of the listed characters are minor antagonists that appeared in a single episode or comic book issue. The current article already lists the villains, with appropriate blue links to those that are notable. It should also be noted that the Legion of Doom also has its own article that covers a lot of the same information on many of the reoccurring villains in the series. So, between the information there and on the main Super Friends article, this is a needless spinout mostly being used to include excessive plot details on minor one-shot character appearances.

Ella, maldita alma (Tv Series)

Ella, maldita alma (Tv Series) → Ella, maldita alma (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Recently created article which I've moved. This redirect isn't a likely search result because of its strange mixed capitalization. Gonnym (talk) 11:46, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Comment The problem with purely capitalization-based disambig errors is that Wikipedia and Google search are case-insensitive with no way to do a case-sensitive search so I physically can't search for JUST those that use "Tv Series" Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 10:30, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

There is no reason for you to search "Tv Series", just as there is no reason for you to search for "Tv SeRies". Gonnym (talk) 11:07, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

I was trying to search for other redirects that have that exact capitalization, because I would be more inclined to !keep if it was common than if it was uncommon Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 13:39, 8 December 2024 (UTC)

Delete Only one hit on Google, so this plausible censoring is not actually in common use. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 22:44, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
A little bit on the fence about this one, because the one instance of the term being censored was regarding the film (see above), but ultimately it's plausible here too so keep. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 23:05, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

delete as implausible censoring. just say "b*tch" if you're that worried about the fuck words. of course, this means i'd consider "nightb*tch" to be a plausible redirect. don't you hate it when your stay at home wife sometimes transforms into a dog? that happened to my buddy eric once, and his week was ruined cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 11:22, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

I wouldn't consider "b***h" to be implausible though Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 11:24, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

it certainly is on the more niche side of censorings. maybe down there with "fu*k" and "a*s" cogsan _{(nag me) (stalk me)} 11:58, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

Keep - Plausible censoring. Wikipedia is not censored, but a redirect is not content, it's a navigation aid. The fact that wikipedia is not censored doesn't mean our users necessarily know that, or that they won't self-censor themselves, or copy a search term from someone else who does. WP:CHEAP applies.

Thrustship

Thrustship → List of Star Wars spacecraft (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

The term "Thrustship" is not mentioned nor defined on the target page. The article that brought me it is also the only content page that links to it. Therefore, unless "Thrustship" is considered notable, there seems to be no good reason for this redirect to exist. ZFT (talk) 23:16, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Keep Thrustship is sometimes used as another word for spacecraft. This0k (talk) 23:23, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Comment the redirect Yevethan thrustship also points to the same destination and "Yevethan" is also unmentioned.

Comment: "Thrustship" used to be included at the current target, but that section was deleted. My opinion is that we should either restore that section, restore the separate article, or delete the redirect. ZFT (talk) 20:04, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Coat of arms of Christmas Island

Coat of arms of Christmas Island → Coat of arms of Australia (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

This was retargeted to Christmas Island in 2024, but that target was ruled out in Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2021 December 18 § Coat of arms of Christmas Island. Someone-123-321 requested G4 speedy deletion, but I declined since pages can't be speedied if there's a non-speedyable revision in the history, and reverted to the original target. That said, the original target makes even less sense than Christmas Island as a target, as Christmas Island isn't mentioned once there, so this should still be deleted. And perhaps salted, given that this is the third attempt to make a page out of a thing that doesn't exist—fourth if you count a creation in 2006 containing only the string {{deletebecause|Doesn't have coat of arms.}}! -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 07:51, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

"but I declined since pages can't be speedied if there's a non-speedyable revision in the history" imma be real here for a second, I didn't bother once to check the history before G4ing. consider this a WP:SELFTROUT if you will.

-----------------

Delete and salt Both targets are really inane decisions. Coat of arms of Australia because last time I heard about Christmas Island it's certainly not a redirect to Australia, and Christmas Island because CI's infobox doesn't have a coat of arms in the first place User:Someone-123-321 (I contribute, Talk page so SineBot will shut up) 07:58, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Transphobia in the US House of Representatives

Transphobia in the US House of Representatives → Protecting Women's Private Spaces Act (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

I feel like this is a broader topic, a bit misleading to target it to a specific instance. Jay Cubby 19:48, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Template - {{R from possibilites}} - it may develop into a broad topic, or research may be able to be done now, but no broader topic exists rn. Barnt Toust 21:03, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
Keep or develop into an independent article. Basically there's no reason to delete the redirect as long as the broader article doesn't exist. Simonm223 (talk) 22:24, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
Delete per WP:WTAF, and specifically oppose any sort of justification with the possibilities template. It might very well be a fine topic for an article, but redirecting to a specific bill is pretty inappropriate. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 17:08, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Delete The bill is not called "Transphobia in the US House of Representatives" by any people. I agree with 35.139. Ca ^{talk to me!} 23:32, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Template as a redirect with possibilities. The broader topic has possibilities for development, but for now the target article cites reliable sources that indicate the topic has been noteworthily identified as a case of transphobia/anti-trans bigotry in the United States House of Representatives. If it is not templated, keep. Hydrangeans (she/her | talk | edits) 04:24, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Similar to Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2024_December_18#ITEOTWAWKI etc., no evidence this album is referred to by this initialism. 2A0E:1D47:9085:D200:A441:E116:80BC:26F3 (talk) 00:41, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Keep - Google disagrees, it seems lots of people use exactly this initialism. Some use it in all lowercase, some all uppercase, and some with the mixed case of TRaFoZSatSFM, but I'm seeing significantly more hits than I expected when I searched for it. Looks like a useful redirect for navigational aid-- the title is so long people naturally want to shorten it. I don't think a mention in the article is necessary, this is just to get people to where they want to go without having to type the whole thing. Fieari (talk) 02:53, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
