Reviewed all sources and what I found are press releases, primary sources and passing mentions of the company. As of the time of nomination, sources number one to 8 are mostly press releases, and from number 9 to 19 are mostly primary sources. The few ones that look reliable are not enough to meet WP:GNG or WP:NBASIC. Mekomo (talk) 08:19, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

This does not meet notability guidelines for WP:NORG as all sources reviewed are press releases and primary sources closely related to the organization. Only a few give minor coverage and those are insignificant to meet WP:GNG and or WP:NBASIC. Mekomo (talk) 07:37, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This list fails WP:NLIST as there is no evidence (here or in WP:BEFORE search) that independent, reliable sources discuss the entertainment (or any other) events taking place at this sports complex as a group. Without evidence of such coverage, this list also fails WP:NOTDATABASE by being a database of non-notable individual events and fails WP:NOR because the work of compiling this list is itself an effort of original research. I WP:BOLDly redirected the page; however, the page creator reverted my action, so I bring it to AfD to seek a community consensus to redirect this page to Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex.

Interesting idea which received some news coverage and a grant of 100k, but I don't see any evidence that it was picked up by any companies/organizations/entities, or even individual people. All the coverage I can find dates back to 2010-2012. No lasting impact. P.S. sorry about 'indiscernible' category, not sure if this falls under product or technology?

A vanity page and likely autobiography (user = P.D.C.

No evidence of passing WP:NAUTHOR; his books appear to be self-published. No evidence of passing WP:GNG; the sources are limited to passing mentions in government documents/directories and mostly a long run of mentions in various Who's Who lists, a pay-to-play source that is not independent.

Article about a non-notable sports news photography company; fails WP:NCORP. The coverage is limited to:

This company does not appear to clear WP:NCORP. Very few sources were in this article even before a cull of promotional language (the references appear to be taking the place of notes, making this page an exercise in WP:OR), and the sources I found in my WP:BEFORE search are WP:ORGTRIV: routine news of product announcements, transaction announcements, etc. (Any company for which an infobox entry is accompanied by a ?

This unreleased film (apparently filmed in 2022) fails WP:NFILM, which specifies that Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles
. This movie's coverage is limited to tabloid-style mentions in unbylined articles that trigger the concerns of WP:NEWSORGINDIA. Thus, the articles that reference to the film's production are not reliable sources. Until such time as the the production is confirmed by reliable sources or the film is released and given full-length reviews by multiple reliable sources, there is no pass of WP:NFILM or WP:GNG. (Note that the promotional bio of the filmmaker by the same page creator is also up for deletion for similar reasons.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:36, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Highly promotional bio for a Bangladeshi filmmaker whose first film, Antorborti (also nominated for deletion), has not yet been released. At best it's WP:TOOSOON, but either way this filmmaker fails WP:NFILM and WP:NCREATIVE, since none of his other works are significant. The sources are almost entirely unbylined tabloid news from Bangladeshi outlets that have the same WP:NEWSORGINDIA problems with undisclosed paid placement. On top of this, almost none of these sources provide WP:SIGCOV of Kayum. In my search and review I found no qualifying sources for WP:N. Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:35, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect to List of television stations in New York (state)#LPTV stations: as the creator of this article all the way back in 2006, I can assure you this is little more than a remnant article of the far lower, non-GNG-based inclusion standards of the era. Maybe there's something out there that could instead merit a mention somehow at WNGN (FM) (the co-owned radio station), but a history of mostly national services (or more recently, airing nothing but a random .4 carriage of the radio side) does not exactly suggest significant coverage. (What's left of Google's newspaper archive does have two articles in The Daily Gazette mentioning this station, which is more than some other LPTVs, but I don't think they're enough — even if the first article mentions the then-existence of local programming without elaboration.)

Seems like it charted at #1 for about ~1 week in Sweden, and remained in top #100 for a little while after that.[1] I did find a short write-up of this song in particular in the Göteborgs-Posten[2], and it's also given a passing mention in a few tabloid articles about the musician in general.[3][4] Does not seem to qualify for multiple, independent sources of sigcov.

As far as I can tell Van Nuys as a place, if it existed at all, was perhaps the rail station for the Indiana Village for Epileptics; the label sits next to a pair of buildings by the rail line that runs through the "campus" (actually three widely-spaced "colonies"). The facility closed for its original purpose in 1952 when Van Nuys died, and in 1956 at least part of it became the New Castle State Hospital. Today, the main "colony" has bee replaced with a penitentiary complex. Anywqay, this was plainly never a settlement. Mangoe (talk) 03:25, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Fails all ramifications of WP:COMPOSER or WP:NMUSICIAN. The nominations are not exclusive and so do not inherently confer both guidelines I just mentioned.
Citation 1 from marginally reliable Vanguard with no substantial coverage.
Citation 2 from the same marginally reliable source is utterly unreliable as it lacks a byline and does not provide any useful information.
Citation 3 lacks a byline and is only 104 words, no substantial coverage.
Citation 4 does not only lack a byline, it is definitely a sponsored piece.
Citations 5, 6, and 14 are the usual nomination lists.
Citations 7 and 8 has nothing to offer to this subject's passing of WP:GNG.
Citations 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 provide no substantial coverage about this subject. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:01, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

- I do not agree that this article fails all ramifications of WP:NMUSICIAN, as subject has:
- "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart". | "the highest new entry this week on Top Albums at #4. BILLION DOLLAR DREAM by Jeriq is the biggest winner, moving up by 57 slots to #21."[17][18]
- The Subject's notoriety can be supported by [19], from a notable magazine with a byline, and is named in some Wikipedia articles including Igbo music where he is referenced as one of the "Notable Igbo musicians."
- 2. "Has won or been nominated for a major music award". The Headies being a major music award in Nigeria and Africa has nominated the subject twice, as the links to the nominations has tried to prove. These nominations are seen in The Headies 2023 and the award's website [20] Chukwukadibia1 (talk) 19:16, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- I do not agree that this article fails all ramifications of WP:NMUSICIAN, as subject has:
- Keep I find I cannot agree with this nomination; subject appears to meet WP:MUSICBIO. Further to the verified notable award nominations (it is not clear from the nom why they do not count), and the several above citations (which include a secondary analysis in a reliable source the subject "has been making waves in the Nigerian music scene with his hit singles and collaborations" [21]), there is further coverage including Billboard charting, Billboard critical coverage, concert review in an WP:RSNG source, and the subject had a cover feature on the WP:RSNG TurnTableCharts magazine with a sigcov bylined intro. ResonantDistortion 17:14, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

- You did a good job, ResonantDistortion, but sorry, it doesn't add a pinch of salt of WP:GNG for the subject. Firstly, for the charting, NMUSICIAN says that "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart" (emphasis mine). Not only is the Billboard chart entry being not a single, ("Oganigwe" by Zlatan featuring Odumodublvck and Jeriq), Billboard is not Nigerian's national music chart. Plus, if the song charted No. 47 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs, it didn't really chart to confer notability on who was featured, nope, it didn't. This Afrobeats Fresh Picks also has the same issue, provides nothing to establish the mentioned notability on Jeriq.
- I also cannot comprehend why you do not find the way this article was created deceptively concerning, This, then how it was moved to the supposedly correct title.
- Again, "Nyem Ego" is another feature. Below is my analysis of the sources you added so far. This, coupled with my above analysis makes it evident that Jeriq is not yet a notable musician.

- That it's not a Nigerian chart is not relevant, and neither is the fact it's a collaboration. Jeriq, evidently a major contributor to the piece of music, still has featured in the top 50 of a reliable chart aggregator, contributing to WP:MUSICBIO#2. He has been nominated, as a solo artist, twice for a notable national award which is WP:VERIFIED, and contributes to WP:MUSICBIO#8. At least two collaborative works with different artists have achieved non-trivial critical "best of" selections in independent sources, contributing to WP:MUSICBIO#1. The article in TurnTableCharts magazine (a website listed as a WP-reliable Nigerian source) is not only a curated interview but includes notability-supporting journalistic bylined non-trivial biographical information contributing to WP:MUSICBIO#1 (per WP:INTERVIEW). The nature of the page creation is irrelevant to the notability of the subject; for the record I have updated the article to try and improve it. Overall, the evidence points to the subject meeting the relevant notability guideline, and therefore I maintain my position to keep. ResonantDistortion 16:56, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
- Weak keep. The subject's debut album, Billion Dollar Dream, was critically reviewed by Afrocritik and The Native. He has received two nominations at The Headies. As previously pointed out, he charted on a Billboard chart as a guest act. These three reasons should be good enough for a weak keep. When I previously nominated the article, I didn't see reviews of his debut album in reliable sources. I also didn't see his nominations at The Headies. Perhaps I could have done a more in-depth search but preliminary search results didn't show reliable coverage at the time. The article contains a few promotional wording and definitely needs to be cleaned up. Versace1608 Wanna Talk? 17:39, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Anyone who has looked at topos enough will take a gander at this place as it appears on the older maps, and immediately recognize it as likely a resort. And indeed, as far as I can tell, it represents an early stage of the Mount Lawn Speedway, when it had a dance hall and other such facilities alongside the track. As recounted here, the hall burned down more than once and everything except the track itself disappeared, so the area where there were other buildings is now a wooded triangle, but the track is still going strong. It's likely there's an Arcadia book on this place, but that will have to be someone else's search. I'm inclined to delete rather than redirect to eliminate any hint that this was a town.

We have individual pages for 2015 in Danish music and the other 4 Scandinavian countries, there is no reason to have another page grouping these 5 as well, "Scandinavian music" is not some monolithic block or typical genre.
The same applies to these other years as well:

- I fully agree that the concept of "Scandinavian music" is a nonstarter. Though there are only 3 countries in Scandinavia and not 5, there is not that much overlap between the music scenes as to constitute a common sphere. The information about individual concerts and even festivals is not encyclopedically relevant and should be burnt with fire. Relevant albums should be mentioned in country-specific pages where applicable (i.e. 2015 in Swedish music – the albums might already be mentioned there, though).

Where are 2024 in Danish music, 2024 in Norwegian music, 2024 in Finnish music, 2024 in Swedish music? Scandinavia is as clear-cut a region as is Ireland.

- The other Scandinavia ones should later be deleted after the necessary country articles have been made, and no new Scandinavia ones should be created.

- Delete all - These are lists that appear to fail the WP:NLIST criteria as a notable grouping discussed by reliable sources. Scandinavian Music is not a defined genre of music. Even the term Scandinavia is ill-defined - it may or may not include various territories depending upon the context. It seems these lists would be better if they followed the individual territories and can align with the current Wikipedia articles separated into territories such as Music of Iceland, Music of Finland, Music of Sweden, etc. — CactusWriter (talk) 18:44, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep per Deb. As far as I can tell from what I found in Google Books, "Scandinavian music" is a thing. You'll find books on "Scandinavian music" generally, and comments such as "Scandinavian music as a whole" [22] and "Scandinavian music . . . is distinctive" and is "a school": [23]. You will find, even in English, Billboard spotlight "review of the year" articles on Scandanavian music in 1971, 1972, 1973, 1979, 1981 and probably every other year, though I can't search the entire run. And Scandanavia has had music periodicals since at least the 18th century: [24]. And I think that indicates that most years in Scandanavian music are likely notable. James500 (talk) 22:19, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
- But what's the point of just repeating the information on the standard by country pages into a grouped page? We are just increasing the maintenance cost for no good reason, it's not as if the entries in the Scandinavia pages are about some cross-Scandinavian things. The 2015 page Is an 80% copy of the Norway page, with some other stuff copied from the other country pages. It adds no value at all. Fram (talk) 08:48, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- As you are fully aware from the previous conversation, most of the years don't have articles for individual countries within Scandinavia. The time for this discussion is when you've created the relevant articles. Deb (talk) 16:03, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
- @James500:, I appreciate you finding those sources. Unfortunately, reading through them only seems to confirm that "Scandinavian Music" is an ambiguous lumping and the music articles are still written on a national basis instead. For example. the 1924 Herbert Westerby book that you cite has a brief page attempting to describe a few similar elements among Danish, Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian music -- and then spends the next 35 pages describing the pianoforte music broken down by each individual country. (Westerly does the same with his chapters combining Spain & Portugal and Austria & Germany.) I also read the 1973 Billboard Magazine and see it lumps the countries into a general section -- but all the articles and data are written about individual nations with Billboard using individual editors from each country. Unless Scandinavian Music can be defined as a unambiguous genre, it still seems to me that listing by individual country makes more sense. And removes the duplication that occurs in 2015 in European music. — CactusWriter (talk) 18:12, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
- If sources say in express words that "Scandanavian music" is a thing, we may getting into the realms of original research if we try to dispute that. Our article on Nordic folk music says it is Scandanavian, and a search for "Scandanavian folk music" in GNews indicates that it still exists, see for example, this Scandinavian folk music festival in 2017: [25]. The 1981 Billboard article, for example, does contain comments about Scandanavia as a whole, such as those in the article "Copryrights gain value". That information could not be placed in the national articles. Music does not necessarily confine itself to national boundaries. The present Sovereign states did not always exist, their boundaries have repeatedly changed, and they use each others languages (eg Swedish is an official language of Finland, and is spoken in Denmark, and Finnish is spoken in Sweden). One can find, for example, articles on Swedish music in Finland, and Finnish musicians in Sweden: [26] (and that article says that a purely national perspective of music is not sufficient to address certain topics). I could argue that our national articles are "ambiguous lumpings". If, for the sake of argument, the quantity of cross-Scandanavian material were felt to be too small to support a separate article, then this page could be redirected without prejudice to 2015 in European music#Scandanavia, and the cross-Scandanavian material added there. That would not require either deletion or an AfD. I was not aware that we had articles on European music. Alternatively, one could merge into decades in Scandanavian music. James500 (talk) 00:52, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
- I agree with you about music crossing national boundaries. That's my point. Your link to Nordic folk music is a good example because it also includes all the Baltic nations and Russia in a discussion of "Scandinavian folk music." Should Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia be included in the 2015 in Scandinavian music list because Finland is? Is Greenland included or excluded because it has a separate music tradition? We agree that music can be a mosh pit across national borders throughout the world. That is exactly what I mean by an "ill-defined lumping." The above lists in this AFD seem to require some WP:OR to determine what is or isn't included. It is better for these music lists -- which are only about dates & events -- to be grouped by well-defined national boundaries as individual nation lists (e.g. 2015 in Norwegian music, 2015 in Swedish music, etc.). That better meets the selection guideline in WP:SELCRIT and the grouping guideline in WP:NLIST. — CactusWriter (talk) 16:29, 18 January 2025 (UTC)
- Scandinavian folk music is inherently Scandinavian, and should be included in this article, regardless of where it is produced. If Scandinavian folk music was produced in Adélie Land, it would potentially belong in this article. If some of the music in the Baltic nations and Russia is Scandanavian folk music, that does not imply that the rest of their music is Scandanavian. When ABBA perform in Britain, they are performing Swedish music, and that does not imply that Rod Stewart's music is also Swedish. If a reliable source says in express words that music is Scandanavian, there is no original research involved in its inclusion in the article. The national boundaries are not well defined in relation to music. The national boundaries give no help in classifying something like Finnish-Swedish music. James500 (talk) 06:39, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- The entries are not about Scandinavian folk music. And that would seem like such a small niche that a "year in x" page is not warranted. Geschichte (talk) 13:22, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

- Keep, this is a fairly iconic line, and it is probably possible to find sources supporting mention of the line to add it to the article. BD2412 T 21:20, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- I suppose I should have elaborated on my delete !vote here, as well. As much as I am a fan of the MCU and Doctor Strange in particular, I do not think this quote is a necessary inclusion for this encyclopedia as a whole. There is currently no mention of this quote from analysis sources or reception to it since the movie released in 2016. Because no mention has been included in the eight-to-nine years since that film's release, it may be telling that it is not important to this encyclopedia. There have been several quote-related redirects being created lately that veer on WP:FANCRUFT. This encyclopedia is not a fan wiki, and I think any mention of this quote without sufficient evidence of notability would be giving it WP:UNDUEWEIGHT. We do not need a redirect pointing to each related project or character for a quote deemed iconic by the fanbase of a franchise, and we do not need to host such redirects. Trailblazer101 (talk) 01:02, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep - Not all movie quotes are created equally. In my experience, this particular quote is entering the culture/English language as an idiom with the specific meaning of requesting something over and over and over again, with the hopes of winning via exhaustion of the other person. I've seen it with regards to scambaiting, and with people requesting refunds from retail stores. I've seen it referring to children begging their parents for something. When a movie quote starts to be used extensively to mean something non-obvious, Darmok style, people are more likely to search for what it means. In this, case, the redirect makes it clear what the source of the quote is by the existence of the redirect, and close reading of the plot section will provide information to the searcher as to what the phrase is referring to. I believe that's enough to justify keeping the redirect. Fieari (talk) 05:43, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Nature Water

No mention of "Nature Water" at the target article; readers who might want to learn about water in nature, will not be able to do so due to this redirect, which is totally unexplained at the target. Utopes (talk / cont) 01:36, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

Express newspaper
[edit]- Express newspaper → Daily Express (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Ambiguous, as lots of newspaper use the word "express" in their name. There is also no page which contains the list of newspapers with "express" in their name, so this redirect should be deleted DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 09:55, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to the section Express § Periodicals where there is a list and tag with {{R from ambiguous term}}. Skynxnex (talk) 20:20, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Redirects from Russian to United States
[edit]- Соединенные Штаты → United States (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Соединенные Штаты Америки → United States (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Delete as redirects in a language other than English to a page whose subject is unrelated to that language (point 8 of WP:R#DELETE)/per WP:RFOREIGN). Noting that the previous discussion was closed as a trainwreck, with the closer asking that these be renominated individually. I'm bundling these two together as they are both from Russian. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:37, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

- Retarget to List of country names in various languages (Q–Z)#U where it's mentioned. I'm also fine with keeping it due to the fact that Russia has colonial ties to the United States. -- Tavix (talk) 20:22, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. I absolutely cannot believe that someone typing "Соединенные Штаты" is going to reach List of country names in various languages (Q–Z)#U and think "great, this is exactly where I intended to end up, thanks wikipedia!" At any rate, that article will turn up in the search results, and they'll realize when it does that they searched en-wiki instead of ru-wiki by mistake and leave. Just delete them. -- asilvering (talk) 22:32, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Arthur Cadman
[edit]- Arthur Cadman → Arthur Kadmon (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I don't believe people searching for this are more likely to be misspelling Arthur Kadmon than searching for people known as Arthur Cadman. I believe this is better off a redlink. Traumnovelle (talk) 03:50, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- Weak delete. Search results reveal a couple of people named Robert Cadman who appear to fall a bit short of GNG. If there were anyone clearly notable by the name, I would vote firmly to delete. Similarly, were this individual more prominent, I would vote to keep as a rather plausible misspelling. However, it seems that this Arthur Kadmon, while technically notable, is not a particularly widely known individual, and it seems unreasonable to suggest that a typo of his name will generate a significantly greater amount of traffic than searches for multiple almost-but-not-quite-notable people whose names are spelled correctly. — Anonymous 05:23, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- I've just realised, the 'Arthur Cadman' referenced here: [27] is Alfred Cadman. This appears to be the only incorrect listing of Alfred Cadman as Arthur Cadman from what I can find. This doesn't change my belief the redirect is better off as red-link, but does help show that 'Arthur Cadman' cannot be claimed by one person. Traumnovelle (talk) 08:00, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
Israel and the Nazi analogy
[edit]- Israel and the Nazi analogy → Comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
This wording is ambiguous and could be interpreted as referring to Israel comparing its critics to Nazis (something that has also been known to occur). — Anonymous 02:35, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
Israel–Gaza war
[edit]- Israel–Gaza war → Gaza–Israel conflict (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Retarget to Gaza war. No good reason this redirects to the broader conflict and not the war in question, per recent move of Israel–Hamas war to Gaza war. CNC (talk) 00:19, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Gaza war. I agree with this suggestion. ―Panamitsu (talk) 00:27, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
- Retarget to Gaza war per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC given its relatedness to "Gaza war," which in an RM was decided to be the the primary topic for that war. DecafPotato (talk) 00:28, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
Note: Israel–Gaza War already redirects to Gaza war. CNC (talk) 00:57, 28 January 2025 (UTC)
