- I can only assume that, as he played for both the University of North Carolina Wilmington and the Wilmington Hammerheads, the nominator mistakenly assumed one of them — presumably not the university — was in Wilmington, Delaware (the Hammerheads played in Wilmington, North Carolina, and obviously that is where UNC Wilmington is). That's the only plausible explanation; there's nothing indicating it simply being a delsort typo as I've seen (and even committed myself…) elsewhere.

- Keep As one who took the time to research the subject, it does establish WP:ORGDEPTH. It is both the industry-standard Entrepreneur, Forbes, TechCrunch and other publications, which have written rather adequate (in "length") coverages about this corp, as well as the fact that Leena is evidently amongst the world's top handful AI companies in its niche (conversational and/or agentic) in terms of global market reach and product dev.

- Delete. I do not consider Entrepreneur a suitable RS for NCORP per the September 2020 RFC, but it's a CORPROUTINE announcement regardless. No evidence that the 2025 Gartner report is anything beyond a passing mention, and based on previous versions of the same report I'm fairly sure it is, although I don't currently have a subscription. I think HighKing had a Gartner subscription though, based on comments from a couple of years ago, not sure if that's still the case. (If it is and unlike what I think it goes beyond the trivial mention, pretty please may I get the bit that covers Leena sent to me somehow thanks. There's also the Hype Cycle for Generative AI one, I think.) TechCrunch is WP:TECHCRUNCH of course. Overall my assessment is in the negative. Alpha3031 (t • c) 09:24, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete This is a company therefore GNG/WP:NCORP requires at least two deep or significant sources witHaven't seen sources from forbes though some editors mentioned them above. h each source containing "Independent Content" showing in-depth information *on the company*. "Independent content", in order to count towards establishing notability, must include original and independent opinion, analysis, investigation, and fact checking that are clearly attributable to a source unaffiliated to the subject.
- This seen sources from forbes though some editors mentioned them above. enaai-employees-siri/363925 Entrepreneur article is a regurtitation from this earlier article written by the same author but which more clearly acknowledges that the article relies entirely on information provided by the company and interview with execs. It is PR and fails WP:ORGIND
- The TechCrunch article likewise acknowledges a reliance on info received. It is also PR fails ORGIND.
- Careful reading of the statement by Ovedc that the company has been recently "mentioned" by Gartner is true, but all I can find is that those "mentions" are inclusion as a dot in a graph entitled a "magic quadrant" for an emerging market if "AI Knowledge Management Apps/General Productivity" - there is no in-depth report. So that mentions doesn't meet the criteria because it fails WP:CORPDEPTH.
- There are no sources available that meet the criteria for establishing notability. HighKing++ 19:07, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Reviewing the available sourcing suggests this does not satisfy NCORP as various editors have noted above. The articles from TechCrunch and Entrepreneur rely heavily on info provided by LeenaAI executives and lack independence in my view. With Entrepreneur India it is difficult to tell if the two articles (from the same author as noted above) are independent or paid pieces per WP:NEWSORGINDIA. The article from Business Standard is in the sponsored section and definitely cannot be used for notability. Can't assess the pieces from gartner or axios. The sources I have identified in Forbes are contributor pieces and being self-published are not helpful for establishing notability here. Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 18:03, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

Fails WP:NCORP, WP:NSOFTWARE, and/or WP:NWEB due to lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. Cited Newsweek article (ref 6) is clearly marked as a "sponsor" post and the Forbes contributor article (ref 10) is unreliable as a self-published source per WP:FORBESCON. The Mashable article (refs 2 and 11) lists this website as one of "10 excellent platforms for building mobile apps".
As far as French-language coverage cited in the article, I am seeing the same reliabilty issues with those sources. For example, the Nice-Matin article (ref 1) is labelled as "sponsored by Bpifrance" (sponsorisé par Bpifrance); coincidentally, Bpifrance.fr is cited in ref 3.

- Keep – He has had a record that has charted in a national music chart. TurnTable Top 100 (Nigeria)] — is a recognized national chart that aggregates official streaming, airplay, and sales data, similar in standing to Billboard charts in other countries. Coverage and chart data are verifiable through reliable independent sources such as TurnTable Charts, Pulse Nigeria, Vanguard.
In addition to chart success, the artist has received independent media coverage in reputable music outlets and industry platforms, further demonstrating cultural and professional significance beyond routine mentions.
Therefore, the article clearly satisfies Wikipedia’s general notability guidelines WP:GNG and music-specific criteria WP:MUSICBIO, and should be kept. Vector diehard (talk) 12:44, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

This article does not clearly show that the topic is encyclopedic, and it is unclear if it would ever come to be more than an essay-like not very noteworthy article.

- Well, it seems like it is a bit more established, but we should perhaps look into it as well. It seems like there is a lot of original research going on there; perhaps it should at least be trimmed to a significant extent. BlockArranger (talk) 23:36, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Nominally, I do not think there is much grounds for deletion, but this is an awful article. I am trying to read it but half the time the link between the topic of the article and the actual content is obscure. For example, the section The designing of Dolly - A clone and a hybrid? is such a weird metaphorical mess where I don't know what the point of it is. This article seems like a WP:TNT situation. I would rather have a gap in knowledge briefly for an editor to write a better, more encyclopedic article on the topic than be stuck with this for another 14 years. ✶Quxyz✶ (talk) 23:09, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
- You may have noted that the article specifically states that "the term hybrid institution is not yet well-established or clearly defined in academic literature". If you refer to WP:REFERS, articles are mostly about actual types of objects or phenomena rather than about terms themselves; thus, articles should not take a term and discuss what exactly it may refer to; but rather, discuss the thing that the title is presupposed to refer to, possibly with disambiguation available in the hatnote. Here, however, the article is not even clear on its topic. I think that if it is still the case that the term is not well-defined and that it is not established, I do not think we should include is as WP:NOTABLE unless the possibly ongoing debates about the term are themselves notable. BlockArranger (talk) 23:31, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
- I think those issues are more the article being poorly written than the actual topic being bad. I'm not going to go through around forty scientific papers but I am going to assume at least three discuss the topic in detail (though it wouldn't surprise me if that wasn't even true), which means it should pass WP:GNG or should be merged with hybrid organization. ✶Quxyz✶ (talk) 23:52, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
- The problem is, however, that this article seems to be broader in scope than the one you propose it to be merged into. However, I do admit that it is rather unclear as neither one is particularly well-written. BlockArranger (talk) 00:03, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

- Hi, thanks, I understand it better now.
- Company and product might be seen as similar, but the Platform is OpenNebula, and then it's OpenNebula Systems as company that participates in several initiatives. I'm including some links, since it's my first time proposing links to Wikipedia, feel free to correct me if I'm not in the right direction.
- In any case, I offer myself again to propose a re-edit of the article to make it more neutral and adding more independent resources.
- Also, I'm including the latest news about the company, not sure if you need that I will circle back to a specific date:

- I don't see any source here that counts towards notability under the WP:NCORP notability guideline. Press releases, churnalism, government documents, and business directories are worthless for notability. Routine business reporting of company announcements involving joining consortia or starting projects is also worthless. The sources under "Use case about migration to OpenNebula" do not contain significant coverage of the company. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 18:47, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
- On further review, I found a PhD thesis with some coverage of the company, but a single source is not enough for WP:NCORP. None of the article's current sources count towards NCORP; e.g. this article was written by an OpenNebula executive. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 10:16, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect - OpenNebula is in fact notable. OpenNebula Systems is not. I cannot find anything that meets WP:ORGCRIT in Google News and zero hits in Newspapers.com. --CNMall41 (talk) 09:22, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- Ok, what if we edit the page to honour neutralism, without adding too many sources like this (the churnalism and press releases)?. The fact that the company participates in the IPCEI-CIS as an european project is not relevant? (I'm honestly confused on this then, if this doesn't have relevance, how smaller companies can have a page in wikipedia since they don't appear on big media?).
- @CNMall41, What you mean with zero hits on google news?, I tried to include the sources outside our blog, and there are many aside of the above, and I even tried to avoid the churnalism (with no success apparently). I've searched on DuckDuckGo, and Google, using OpenNebula only, or OpenNebula+IPCEI.
- I understand that you are trying to avoid self-promotion, but then I see pages from VMware or Red Hat and I'm honestly think there's a different evaluation criteria. Francjp (talk) 12:05, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- When searching "OpenNebula Systems" I found zero references that show up in Newspapers.com. Notability is not about size or relevance. Notability comes from significant coverage in reliable soruces. The relevant guideline here is WP:NCORP and the references need to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. Nothing I find meets that criteria. It is the same criteria applied to other pages but sometimes things exist that shouldn't (see WP:OTHERSTUFF which is an argument to avoid in deletion discussions). --CNMall41 (talk) 12:11, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the feedback. I want to clarify that my intention is not to invoke WP:OTHERSTUFF, and I apologize if my earlier comment suggested that.
- What I am still trying to understand is whether improving the article by:
- Removing promotional language
- Excluding press-release based sources
- Adding higher-quality independent references
- Would be considered relevant to the discussion. If improvements to neutrality and sourcing are not being taken into account, the rationale for deletion feels somewhat subjective to me, so I’d appreciate clarification on that point.
- Regarding sources: I have found coverage through Google Search and Google News for “OpenNebula Systems,” and there are two mentions in Newspapers.com (which I cannot access due to the paywall). Some of the Google News results are not press-release syndications, and outlets like Ars Technica and The Register appear to have independent reporting. I understand the concerns about churnalism and the requirements of WP:NCORP, but I believe there are at least some sources that may qualify as independent and significant coverage.
- Since the article has existed for more than 10 years with very few edits, I am trying to understand what new information or criteria prompted the nomination now. If appropriate, I would also appreciate guidance on how other companies in the same space have met notability requirements so I can better evaluate whether comparable sources exist for this topic. Francjp (talk) 15:55, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- Promotional language is largely irrelevant to this discussion; the problem is that none of the sources that you have proposed satisfy the strict criteria in WP:NCORP. For example, the Ars Technica and The Register sources mainly cover the product, not the company. The essay Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not Crunchbase may be useful to read for a more detailed explanation of the notability criteria.
- There are millions of articles on Wikipedia, so it is very easy for non-notable articles to fly under the radar for decades before someone stumbles upon them. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 19:22, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- Hello, thanks for your comments and clarifications. As I’ve mentioned before, my purpose here is to clarify and try to solve this situation.
- For independent and reliable sources, as mentioned earlier, there are reference articles from the European Union and the Spanish Government, which can be considered neutral and trustworthy.
- We have these:
- About the IPCEI, which is by far the largest technology-sovereignty open-source initiative in Europe:https://planderecuperacion.gob.es/noticias/gobierno-financia-tres-proyectos-asegurar-soberania-digital-tratamiento-datos-nube-programa-IPCEI-CIS-prtr (this is an official communication)
- The Company also appears in the Linux Foundation Landscape: https://landscape.linuxfoundation.org/ (Inclusion here recognises the company as part of the European Open Source Infrastructure ecosystem.)
- The links from CORDIS included in a previous message, that indicates the relevance of the company on different European projects.
- Chairs of the EU Alliance for Industry Data, Cloud and Edge: https://futurium.ec.europa.eu/de/cloud-edge-wg-eu-cloud-alliance (This is an official portal operated by the EU (DG Connect))
- Could you please let me know if this satisfies notability and neutrality of sources? Francjp (talk) 16:18, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
- These sources do not count towards the WP:NCORP notability standard, since none of them are independent of the company. It does not matter whether the company is a part of impactful projects and organizations. The only thing that WP:NCORP cares about is whether reliable sources who are completely unaffiliated with the company have chosen to write about it in detail without relying on company announcements or routine business reporting.

Does not meet WP:BIO. Almost all of the sources serve just to document specific pieces of information and don't mention Mr. Divine at all or only briefly. Most of the personal information about him is not sourced at all, or only a source that is associated with him(like his company website). The information about his language skills is sourced to the people who educated him- just documentation that provides no information(as one example)
It is entirely possible that the Reconnect organization/movement he founded is notable, or even his films(like the one selected by film festivals that merit articles). But when the unsourced information and information about his movement is stripped out, not much is left other than the fact he hangs out with celebrities who support his movement, but notability is not inherited by association(and, again, would be more relevant to his movement than him personally). Some sources are interviews and thus not independent.
This draft was created by an account by the name Cdlosangeles; the Cd strongly implies they are Mr. Divine themselves. They have denied this, but given what they wrote and their comments(most of which are AI written), I still believe it may be. 331dot (talk) 19:15, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

- Evidence of Reliable Independent Coverage
- Below is a selection of independent secondary sources with significant coverage of Cliff Divine or his work. This list includes more than thirty television news segments across major US networks where he is clearly identified on air.
- Television Coverage (Independent Broadcast Sources)
- ABC7 News San Francisco
- ABC Action News Florida
- ABC News Orlando
- CBS Orlando
- CBS Pittsburgh
- NBC Sioux Falls
- NBC Orlando
- KUTV 2 Utah
- KHON2 Hawaii
- KTVB 7 Boise
- Q2 News Montana
- WKMG News 6 Orlando
- KTVA Alaska
- WESH 2 Orlando
- And many others
- These are full broadcast news reports featuring him as the central on-screen subject.
- Print and Online Coverage (Independent Secondary Sources)
- Orlando Sentinel
- Local and regional US newspapers
- International press outlets
- Film festival programs and award announcements
- These collectively satisfy WP:BIO and WP:GNG.
- A complete link to the full collection of thirty plus news segments was provided above and shows verified, on-air identification of the subject by major network journalists. Cdlosangeles (talk) 20:20, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- His name being mentioned on air doesn't make him notable. I reiterate- his movement/organization may be notable, but not him personally. I suggest that you write about his organization instead. 331dot (talk) 20:48, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

- Thank you for reviewing the article. I would like to clarify several points, because some of the comments above include assumptions that do not match the facts.
- 1. Cliff Divine and Andrew Cliff Tisba are the same person.
- This can be verified through interviews, festival materials, and nonprofit records. Since both names refer to the same individual, all references to him under either name are valid for establishing notability. Several news pieces refer to him as Cliff Divine while others refer to him by his birth name, and they all point to the same person.
- 2. The article includes many independent reliable secondary sources that focus directly on Mr. Divine.
- There is coverage from ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, Orlando Sentinel, KHON2, KTVB, KUTV, Q2 Billings, and international outlets. These are not small mentions. They are full news stories where he appears as the central subject. Film festivals and award committees have also published coverage that includes him in a principal role.
- 3. A link has been provided that contains more than thirty television news segments from major networks where Cliff Divine is clearly identified by name on air.
- These are verified broadcasts, publicly aired, and independent of him. This constitutes significant coverage by reliable independent sources under WP:BIO.
- 4. The majority of the sources are fully independent journalism.
- These materials come from established newsrooms that operate with editorial oversight. They are not self published and not produced or controlled by the subject. They satisfy the independence and reliability standards required for a biographical article.
- 5. Notability is supported by coverage of his acting awards and his public work.
- He has been recognized at film festivals, appears in national and international news stories, and is repeatedly covered for his multistate public initiative. This meets the definition of significant coverage from multiple independent secondary sources.
- 6. For clarity, I am not Cliff Divine, the subject of the article.
- I am commenting here solely to correct factual inaccuracies. Wikipedia asks participants to avoid personal speculation about editors. The discussion should remain focused on the article content and the sources, not on assumptions about who may be editing.
- 7. Regarding @331dot
- I want to acknowledge that @331dot has been helpful in pointing out technical copyright issues related to images. I am working on those with Commons. However, it feels disproportionate that after helping remove all images I spent hours organizing, there is now also a push from him/her to delete the entire article I spent months building with independent sources. I am raising this only to highlight how important it is to keep the focus on policy and content rather than escalating toward removing the whole subject. The notability question should be evaluated strictly based on the independent sources presented.
- In summary, the subject is covered in a large number of independent reliable secondary sources, including more than thirty television news segments and multiple print and online publications. These meet the requirements of WP:BIO and support keeping the article. Cdlosangeles (talk) 20:10, 15 November 2025 (UTC)— Cdlosangeles (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Copyright violations are not a "technical issue", but a serious matter that puts Wikipedia in legal jeopardy if allowed to persist. Most images found on the internet-including stills from TV broadcasts- are not suitable for use on Wikipedia.
- Quite frankly, this article is so glowing in its praise of Mr. Devine that if you aren't him or don't work for him, he should hire you. Most of his personal information is unsourced- where did you get this information? The citations in the Artistry section are largely to the website of people who worked with him- they don't provide significant coverage of him or even say what is claimed- such as "Cliff Divine studied for three months at Identity School of Acting in Los Angeles, founded by Femi Oguns, whose alumni include John Boyega and Letitia Wright." The two sources don't even mention Mr. Devine.
- As I said, his organization may very well be notable. 331dot (talk) 20:27, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- The section about Memory Studios is only sourced to the Memory Studios website and his IMDB entry on Amazon(IMDB is user-generated and not considered a reliable source) and should just be removed. The other citations in that section just document the existence of his work. 331dot (talk) 20:32, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you @331dot for raising the copyright concerns. I want to clarify that I have already started working on the image and licensing issues. The process is ongoing, and I would have appreciated the opportunity to address these concerns before every file was removed. I understand the importance of copyright compliance, and I intend to fully resolve that part of the article.
- Regarding the content itself, the focus of the AfD should be the independent secondary sources, many of which come from established broadcasters with full editorial oversight. These sources provide significant and repeated coverage over several years. The issues you pointed out about certain biographical details or non-independent references are already being reviewed and can be adjusted. These are normal improvements, not reasons to remove the entire subject.
- I would genuinely appreciate support in improving what has taken months to assemble, rather than seeing everything removed in a matter of days. Collaboration is what strengthens articles, and many of the concerns you mentioned can be fixed through normal editing. I am committed to addressing them.
- I hope we can focus on constructive improvement instead of rapid removal. If there are specific areas where you believe revisions would be beneficial, I am open to working on them. My intention is to follow policy and build a solid, well-sourced article, and your help in that process would be welcome. Cdlosangeles (talk) 20:48, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Copyright violations cannot be allowed to stand for even one second. Wikipedia must make every effort to remove them or it is at risk of legal action, if not in this specific case, in other cases. If you have copyright-compliant images, you are free to upload those. 331dot (talk) 20:56, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Entirety of "Personal life and philosophy" section has no sourcing or no relevant sourcing; entirety of "Immigration struggles and the American dream" is unsourced and the sources there aren't about subject. Same with "Recognition and honors" section and those are only the three I looked at closely. Doesn't seem to meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG at all. The whole article reads like an AI bot wrote it, which I know the nom brought up concerns about the user Cdlosangeles being AI - I feel the same looking at this. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 21:29, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Fails WP:BIO for the subject. Also, this is an autobiography. 🦆 Mike Allen 21:35, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete – while there are a ton of sources here, many of them are either primary sources or do not prove anything about the article's subject (for instance, it may look like this source is being used to prove Divine studied under Jack Garfein, but there is zero mention of Divine there). It is possible that Divine is notable, but unfortunately, the flood of irrelevant sources makes it impossible to tell – if that is the case, WP:TNT applies.

- Comment Clearly created by someone who should have at least taken it through AfC, but also should have read some of the policy pages. Most is sourced to his own work, and often on Youtube or his own site "reconnect." They also make the beginner mistakes of saying "he did Y" and then linking to "Y" not to a source that backs the assertion. I removed the Youtube and some other unusable sources. It may be easier to see what reliable sourcing is there, if any. There is discussion at User_talk:Cdlosangeles, the SPA who created this, that makes it pretty clear that there is COI. I'll try to go through some sources to see if GNG can be supported. Lamona (talk) 22:11, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure it makes any sense of us to have "List of [ethnicity/caste] people", but Wikipedia is somehow full of them (Category:Lists of people by ethnicity). regards, TryKid [dubious – discuss] 14:49, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

List article about a thing that isn't really a thing. "Father of medicare" is a phrase that a handful of Canadian politicians happen to have been tagged with by virtue of having played a role in the development of the Canadian health care system, but existing as a phrase is not necessarily the same thing as being a notable concept -- there's no analysis out there about "fathers of medicare" as a thing in its own right, there are no sources that collectively discuss the five people listed here as a group on the basis of policy-fatherhood per se, and on and so forth.
Instead, each entry in the list is referenced to a single source that ascribes this phrase to that individual person, without ever establishing the notability of the overall concept, or linking that individual person to the other four on a fatherhood axis, at all. And further, one of the five references is a dead link that's been squatted by something completely unrelated to the topic, and doesn't look to have been a particularly reliable or GNG-worthy source even when it was live.
So the roles of these five people can certainly be discussed in Medicare (Canada) itself, but there's no need for a standalone list of the "fathers" of it separately from that. See also Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2025 November 4#Category:Fathers of Medicare, as somebody recently tried to pair this list article with a non-defining category for the same five people, which got deleted (although this article itself wasn't newly created, and has existed for many years.)

Redirect to Yugoslavia at the 1988 Summer Olympics#Judo – As WP:ATD. Svartner (talk) 12:27, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep – Per new sources found. Svartner (talk) 16:11, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - This guy is a Bosnian Serb whose actual name is Dragan Kusmuk (Драган Кусмук), and yes, Olympedia is the source of this mistake, which is yet another example of it being inaccurate. You can read an interview with him here. I see some over passing mentions as having won a Republika Srpska sporting award, and this piece about the setting up of a club, but no SIGCOV in my search. The Serbian Wiki article references an Encyclopaedia entry but this is not open for our consultation and, even if it was, would not meet the requirement for multiple instances of SIGCOV.
- Redirection is not appropriate in this case as the name is clearly wrong and creating a redirect under a mistaken name from a low-quality site would only perpetuate this error. If any SIGCOV is ever found it can be used to create an article under this guy's actual name. FOARP (talk) 15:53, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Olympedia is not the "source of this mistake", if you call it a mistake – his name was widely reported to be "Dragomir" in reports from the time of the Olympics, see for example this. Searching the under the name "Dragan", there's a good amount of coverage in newspapers of the time, as one would expect for an Olympian, e.g. this (~400 words), this (~300 words), this (~100 words), and many other mentions that clearly are enough to develop a quality article. That newspapers decades after his career are interviewing him for his accomplishments (apparently he's the greatest judoka in the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina – and has fought against Vladimir Putin...) also clearly indicates significance. The encyclopedia is almost assuredly SIGCOV as well given that the Serbian Wikipedia article bases over 140 words on it, including, interestingly, that he later became an American football coach. BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:23, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Svartner: BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:53, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- These are pure word-counts of articles that mention Kusmuk. That is not evidence of SIGCOV because the articles I found were of similar length but not SIGCOV. You need to show that these actually have any detail about Kusmuk, not just give word-counts of articles you haven't even read. We also have *NEVER* accepted interviews as contributing to notability, because the content is not independent.
- And yes, getting the guy's name wrong is a mistake. Sources don't get to offload their carelessness on to other sources that they carelessly copied. FOARP (talk) 18:30, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- "Carelessly copied"? The official Olympic report literally had his name as Dragomir. I'm not "giving word-counts of articles [I] haven't read" – I do have access to those articles and listed the number of words discussing Kusmuk in them. Interviews alone don't grant notability, but it's pretty darn likely that someone who gets interviewed in newspapers decades after their career for being the all-time greatest judoka in their country is notable. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:53, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- Then you can tell us what these article actually say about the subject.
- And since when was an official document getting it wrong evidence that every other source didn't have to fact-check anything before blinding relaying its data? Can you see why people say this isn't a secondary source if that's what they do? FOARP (talk) 19:48, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- If every single source gave a certain name, it's not an "error" originating with Olympedia like you claimed it is. We don't even know that it's a mistake – Dragan and Dragomir are similar names and it's reasonable that one may be a nickname for the other. The first source I cited is 400 words about a compensation issue that resulted in his suspension, the next is an in-depth story about his performance and bronze medal at the European Championships, and the third is also about a medal at the European Championships. We clearly have enough to write a quality article with what's available, not to mention the odds of the encyclopedia not covering him significantly are very slim. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:56, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

From the guidelines on COI disclosures, I thought that if I disclosed my COI, created a draft version of the page, and then put it through for an editor to review that was the process to help manage the COI.

- On the notability front, I was looking at a couple of other organizations within our industry (Cetera and SS&C Technologies) as references for what may have qualified as noteworthy and to get a structure to follow. Cstills (talk) 22:22, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
- Look, the process they followed is fine, I don't think the article would have been deleted on BROCHURE alone were the sources better, though the sources are very, very WP:CORPROUTINE, to the point where I think Passengerpigeon maybe shouldn't have accepted it (but AFC only goes by "likely" as the threshold anyway, so we can probably count it in their 50% or whatever likely is supposed to be). I think we can accept that everyone tried to do their best here.
As for what kind of sources, Cstills, it would be probably be best if you could find ones that are not on the list at CORPROUTINE linked above. Also pay attention to WP:ORGIND and WP:DEPENDENTCOVERAGE, avoid stuff that is based off press releases, and only use trade publications if they very, very obviously meet those criteria. Depth and independence are to be interpreted jointly here, so you need to remove everything your company provided before looking for the detailed secondary coverage, to the point that you can write a whole article on two or three. If you find the best three sources that meet that, copy them here.
Looking at Cetra, I would probably nominate that for deletion if there weren't more sources, to be honest. If you wanted a reference article... hmm, can't really think of anything off the top of my head, Qapital maybe, but that's on an app rather than a company and we tend to look for different things there.

- I am a current student. I don’t understand well the inner workings of Wikipedia, but many of these songs and yells are indeed notable and this article is the main way for students to easily get them if they don’t have them memorized, and stay in touch with the history of the university. They are of course difficult to source by nature, but it is worth noting that this article has real value to a community of students, where you can see phrases like Niminium Cervisi (the name of one of the songs) on plaques in the halls. If it is a question of relevance, this article should stay. If it is determined for some reason this article needs to be deleted for reasons besides relevance, while I should like the entire article to stay, at the very least there are a number that are still culturally significant and should be merged into the Trinity College Article -housemaster1111 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Housemaster1111 (talk • contribs) 04:31, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

- Delete and redirect to List of ECO codes. Chess openings do not have official names. Many chess opening names are well established and widely recognized, but a vast number of chess opening names are local vernacular. Internet chess forums including reddit have lead to dozens or hundreds of meme opening names, and even more reliable sources do not always agree on the names. One would think that it should be possible to enforce WP:RS sourcing requirements to address this problem, but WP:CHESS editors have struggled trying to redeem this list for years without success and many of us have concluded that this list is not maintainable. It's truly an attractive nuisance which is a magnet for low quality edits. The list of ECO codes article avoids this problem by specifying a single authoritative source for a list of chess openings. (In fact the ECO doesn't name chess openings, it simply lists the moves. Some editors have been augmenting the list of ECO codes to make it more useful by adding links to the Wikipedia chess opening articles describing the moves.)

Merge 1-2 principle lines to Mantra#Hinduism#Other and Delete: That would be better than a complete deletion. Doesn't qualify for a standalone article due to the lack of SIGCOV and the following GNG failure. But since it is a staple prayer in existence, mentioning it under an umbrella article would be enough.BhikhariInformer (talk) 13:43, 23 October 2025 (UTC)- Delete There are Hindu texts that suggest chanting of mantras, before having food, but worthy of a detailed discussion.

Merge and delete per BhikhariInformer, also agree with nom that there's not much info available in secondary sources.EM (talk) 15:40, 24 October 2025 (UTC)
- Merge with Prasada. I've added some more detail to to Bhojan Mantra but I agree that there is not usually more than a passing reference to the mantras recited before a meal in secondary sources. Since the mantras transform the ordinary food into prasada, according to the secondary sources, I think merging with Prasada would be the best fit. The prasada article needs work as it is, so this merge could help improve it. Katiedevi (talk) 23:39, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
- Weak Keep: I am not sure if this meets notability, so weak keep - I see the suggestions above for merge and delete, but not quite sure if the suggested targets are appropriate - e.g. merging to Mantra#Other might not work because seems currently two mantras are noted here, and possibly there are more such? and merging to Prasada may not be right - are these bhojan mantras just for prasada? Not quite sure yet if there is another appropriate page for merge. Asteramellus (talk) 18:48, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. In just looking in google books I think there is enough coverage to build a verifiable article of interest. There's are some legal issues of significance as it relates to school prayer in India. For example a law was passed by the Government of Madhya Pradesh in 2010 making it mandatory for school students to say the Bhojan Mantra before meals (see [10], [11],) which of course creates problems for students of other religions (such as Muslim students). The Government of Rajasthan also considered passing a law mandating the prayer before meals at the roughly 500 youth hostels in its jurisdiction ([12]). On page 223 of Sarto Esteves's 2002 book Freedom to Build, Not Destroy: Attacks on Christians and Their Institutions states that Christian schools have been forced to recite the Bhojan Mantra because the laws make no religious exemptions for institutions based in other faiths. He views this as an attack by the state on Christian institutions in India. Best.4meter4 (talk) 20:06, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This is a hyper-specific topic within an already niche subject (basketball analytics), and therefore does not merit its own separate article. It is based on a few published analyses, themselves no more noteworthy than dozens of other published analyses in the field of sports analytics. The only article that links to this is the article on the more generalized topic (Advanced statistics in basketball). Even the basketball statistics template does not include this. Therefore, I am flagging it for deletion as it does not meet the criteria for notability.
Other notable advanced basketball metrics that have their own pages such as Adjusted Plus Minus, Player efficiency rating, or Effective field goal percentage, are widely published and utilized. Further, they have static formulas that can be used to accurately recreate them. However, there's no published and regularly updated public source for what is presented in this article, nor is there a static formula that can be followed to recreate the results.
If desired, the contents of this page could be shortened into a paragraph and added to the existing Basketball statistics page, with references to the source academic paper. Gabefarkas (talk) 18:12, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

Fails WP:LISTN, WP:NCORP, WP:NOT, and common sense.
WP:LISTN and WP:NCORP are failed because none of the sources provided in this article are secondary, reliable, independent (WP:SIRS) sources giving significant coverage to the topic of the services offered by Air Mauritius. Instead they are:
- PDF copies of time tables published on the airline website.
- PDFs of old copies of the Flight International directory, which is industry press (see WP:TRADES) whose information came directly from the airline, and who only provided a bare listing of destinations.
- The CAPA website, an industry organisation which Air Mauritius is a customer/business-partner of. Not independent.
- The website of the Corporate Travel Community, which is part of CAPA and is
" a network of corporate travel buyers and other personnel who manage their organisation’s travel portfolios"
. - A FlightGlobal.com article about a press-conference. WP:TRADES, not independent.
- The annual report of Air Mauritius, enough said.
- A single-paragraph story in Air Journal based entirely on a company announcement, WP:TRADES, not WP:SIGCOV.
- A brief Xinhuanet report about the opening of a single route, based entirely on statements from the CEO of Air Mauritius. Not WP:SIGCOV, not independent.
- A Reuters story about airlines cancelling flights during COVID. Not SIGCOV of the topic of the routes of this airline.
- Routesonline, a corporate blog which is not reliable and independent per our discussion at RSN.
- A Twitter post by JetArena, enough said.
- WP:AEROROUTES
- A press-release published in Le Mauricien (they literally just screen-capped the letter from the airline).
I could go on but it would be tiresome for all involved. None of the above sourcing is a WP:SIRS pass.
WP:NOT is failed as this is an exhaustive listing of all of the services offered by a corporations, and as such a WP:NOTCATALOGUE/WP:NOTGUIDE fail.
Common sense is failed because this is predominantly a listing of places this airline does not fly to (of 44 destinations, 31 are listed as "terminated"). Why on earth should we maintain such a list?

- If terminated destinations are important, then why is the coverage of them only in blogs, industry press, press-releases, company statements, and the company website?

- Merge only the prose summary from above the table to Air Mauritius#Destinations. The RfC mentioned above as "WP:DESTNOT" was very specifically about one destination list for a large airline and does not apply to all destination lists, especially not ones as outdated and poorly sourced as this, for which there is ample precedent to delete or merge/redirect. Rosbif73 (talk) 08:50, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep I completely disagree with the entire premise of the nomination. Lists don't need to meet NCORP, especially for a defunct corporation. This is also well sourced! Lack of verification can be remedied - there's no suggestion that any of the information here is wrong, just that it does not contain a reference. Lists do not violate NOT per a recent RfC, and these AfDs - by one user who doesn't like them - are trying to be an end-around to this. SportingFlyer T·C 11:09, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
- Merge into Air Mauritius#Destinations as an alternative to deletion per WP:GNG and WP:NLIST – Searches performed in the languages that Mauritius uses did not uncover any significant coverage in reliable and independent secondary sources of a "list of Air Mauritius destinations" which would establish the list's notability. Most of the coverage is just primary routine news reporting. The best that I could find was this book that noted that the airline had 27 destinations (as of 2009). In addition, some coverage found also talked more about specific routes operated by Air Mauritius rather than the airline's network as a whole (the information of which could be added into the airline's destinations section if merged).

- Keep per the consensus at WP:DESTNOT that these lists do not violate WP:NOT. This is a valid informational list under MOS:LISTPURP and any supposed issues with sourcing are WP:SURMOUNTABLE. Oppose a merge on the grounds that this table would not serve readers interests in reading the article Air Mauritius as it is bulky (WP:SIZE) and would take up more space than most of the rest of that article, impeding the reader experience at that article, who are likely more interested in the historical information about the airline.

- Comment. Here are the sources identified by Kelob2678, alongside a couple more I found from a WP:DILIGENCE search of Google Books and The Wikipedia Library. My preference as an editor would be to merge to Air Mauritius#Destinations, as WP:NPRODUCT states
Avoid splitting the company and its products into separate articles, unless both have so much coverage in reliable secondary sources as to make a single article unwieldy
, and I don't think WP:SIZE is an issue (Air Mauritius is roughly 3000 words, well under the 10000-word split threshold). Having said that, I think it would be reasonable to interpret the primary (SIRS) NCORP criteria as being met by the first four sources listed below (while the Encyclopedia of African Airlines is a tertiary reference, I don't think the secondary/tertiary distinction is important here). Whereas NPRODUCT falls within the (optional)alternative criteria
section of NCORP. So I don't think there's a strong case to make a formal recommendation either way.- Guttery, Ben R. (1998). "Air Mauritius (1967–)". Encyclopedia of African Airlines. Jefferson, N.C.: McFarland. pp. 123–125. ISBN 978-0-7864-0495-7. Describes why Air Mauritius's network is important (the carrier was established to improve air links with other countries, facilitating tourism), as well as providing a substantial history of how and when this network was developed.

I can't quote from this report due to licensing issues, but it notes Air Mauritius's extensive network and describes its reach, including a detailed listing of direct destinations (dated to 31 March 2019) and an overview of indirect destinations (via airline partners). The report also gives a historical overview of when new destinations were added (1973–2019), which is likely to be helpful for verifying claims made by the article / other sources we would like to cite (e.g. the Encyclopedia of African Airlines).

- Thank you for the sources. I believe the relevant policy here is WP:DUE. This table, if added to the parent article, would take a disproportionately large space, and then editors could argue that it should be removed or trimmed. In structuring articles, we should serve the reader. At a time when most readers use mobile devices, it is better to have shorter articles. Kelob2678 (talk) 16:57, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- 12 destinations that are actually being served would take up too much space? Once you strip out the WP:OR "terminated" destinations (seriously, if you're comparing schedules and saying all the services not listed in the later one are now "terminated", this is what you are doing) that's what you're left with. FOARP (talk) 09:11, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
- I don't see WP:OR here. I suppose this can be resolved by replacing "terminated" with something like "As of 2020, the route was not operational". Kelob2678 (talk) 09:59, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
- Hmm. Why can't the table just list the start/end dates for each route, which seem adequately sourcable? To pick a random example, the Sydney route began in 1986 (tertiary source: Encyclopedia of African Airlines p.125) and was terminated (alongside several others) in 2012 (primary source: Le Mauricien article quoting the company). Declining to list a route operational for over two decades smacks of WP:Recentism to me. Preimage (talk) 11:05, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
- Saying that that route had operated for that entire time, based on that sourcing, would be full-on WP:OR. No source says they operated that route for 20 years. Similarly
"As of 2020, the route was not operational"
- If you're going to say that, you need a source that actually says that. Not just a source that doesn't list it. FOARP (talk) 13:14, 24 November 2025 (UTC)FOARP (talk) 13:12, 24 November 2025 (UTC)- That's not original research.

"If a map or timetable of current destinations do not show any particular city as currently served but another reference shows it was served in the past there is nothing to argue: the destination is terminated"
- There absolutely is something to be argued because 1) the service may never have operated, just been announced, 2) the reference saying it was served may have been wrong, 3) the reference not including it as presently served may be wrong. Stating that it was operated but has since been "terminated" is OR if no source says so. FOARP (talk) 14:47, 24 November 2025 (UTC)- You're putting in doubt all sourcing in Wikipedia with your reasoning. You're complicating something that should be simple. WP:VNT applies.--Jetstreamer Talk 14:53, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
- Very few things on Wikipedia are sourced to OR in the way you suggest. Most things that have a source have a source that explicitly supports what Wikipedia says, and don't engage in faulty guesswork. It's not complicated, it is very simple: don't WP:SYNTH sources to say something they don't actually say. FOARP (talk) 15:58, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
- You have that backwards. You are arguing it is self evidently truth that the destination is terminated since it was listed and now it is not listed. That may be truth, but you haven't verified it. You would need a source saying that it existed and was terminated to verify it. It is your synthesis that takes those two sources, neither of which say it was terminated, and use them together to say something that neither source explicitly says. WP:SYNTHesis is original research. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:58, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

- I'm not sure a significant publication record, as measured by citations, satisfies WP:NACADEMIC though. She might meet "The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.", but that would need to be supported by something beyond just citation count. I think she's more likely to be notable under WP:GNG since there is some coverage of her outside of the academic literature. GenomeFan92 (talk) 17:03, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
- Actually, I checked again, and being the "Barron Hilton Endowed Professor of Financial Economics at Dillard University" [15] might qualify her under "The person has held a distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research, a named chair appointment that indicates a comparable level of achievement, or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon." How do we know if that particular named chair indicates a comparable level of achievement to being a distinguished professor at a major institution? Dillard University has history back to 1869. It's fairly small (so maybe it isn't itself "major"), but the school does say in [16] that its various Barron Hilton endowed positions are "one of the highest honors a faculty member can achieve". GenomeFan92 (talk) 18:31, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
- There's significant coverage of her published by the St. Louis Fed, who I think is independent and sufficiently reliable, in [17] where they decided she was interesting enough to interview about her work for half an hour. And similarly, the "Sustaining Capitalism" podcast has published a similar show about her and her work at [18], and even though the name suggests an obvious agenda in any debate over economic systems, I'd expect them to be reliable on the subject of this person, and I see no particular connection between them and her. Both of these are cited in the article. So Alexandermcnabb I think that meets the 2 independent, reliable sources with WP:SIGCOV of the subject bar that's needed for WP:GNG, right? Or is there a problem with one or both of those sources in your view? GenomeFan92 (talk) 16:57, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks GenomeFan92, that's what I was thinking. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis is a reputable source I would hope, and is not her employer, and they considered her notable enough to feature her work. Likewise the Conference Board is a real organization and not obviously connected to her as you said. And while the Fortune magazine article [19] gave a fairly brief summary of her work, they did consider her notable enough to include in their list. AngieTheMicro (talk) 23:06, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
- Delete – no significant independent news coverage beyond institutional profiles. Does not clearly meet WP:GNG or WP:NBASIC. Shinadamina (talk) 04:39, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Shinadamina: Can you elaborate on why you think https://www.stlouisfed.org/timely-topics/women-in-economics/kristen-broady and https://www.conference-board.org/podcasts/sustaining-capitalism/Kristen-Broady-on-workforce-training-for-the-post-COVID-economy aren't sufficient to satisfy WP:NBASIC? Neither of these is an "institutional profile" as I would understand it (i.e. the web page that an institution puts up to profile one of its members, where you might find biographical text that the person in question may have written about themselves).
- At WP:NBASIC it says: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." Do you think that one or both of those sources don't satisfy all those criteria? Or do you think additional similar sources would need to be found to have enough to demonstrate notability?
- Neither WP:NBASIC nor WP:GNG articulates a specific requirement for news coverage; do you think that news coverage in particular actually should be required? GenomeFan92 (talk) 18:17, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
- @GenomeFan92 these are interviews, which are typically fairly dubious for establishing notability. There usually needs to be non-interview analytical content (think a section introducing/analyzing her work before the actual content of the interview) for editors to count it towards notability. Katzrockso (talk) 00:58, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Doesn't something like this move the needle in favour of keeping the article? -- Cl3phact0 (talk) 08:36, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, @Katzrockso, that does seem to be the reasoning here.
- I did a little more digging looking for why people think this or where this might be articulated. The word "interview" doesn't appear in Wikipedia:Notability or Wikipedia:Notability (people); in Wikipedia:Reliable sources it gets mentioned once on the context of something an article should do to be more reliable. Wikipedia:No original research mentions interviews on a footnote, to say that in some contexts they are primary and not secondary sources, and says to see Wikipedia:Reliable sources § News organizations, which doesn't really clarify the point.
- There are, however, lots of talk discussions like Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)/Archive 2016#We really need a sentence/paragraph/section on interviews and Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(people)/Archive_2020#Interviews_in_WP:RS/WP:IS_as_notability_indicators, which are the latest in a series of discussions calling for the policy page to say something about interviews. There's also an essay at Wikipedia:Interviews which seems to explain the position that interviews ought to be treated as less valuable than normal news coverage for notability, but it hasn't been promoted to policy, I think because the talk discussions aren't reaching consensus.

Existential Comics does not appear to pass the general notability guideline. The American Philosophical Association blog source is an interview, much like the Daily Stoic, Critical-Theory and Hyperallergic sources are. I previously removed another interview from the questionable-looking BTR Today from the article. Of the remaining four sources, two of them discuss a single fleeting event. The Willamette Week is a local newspaper, which is not an ideal source for proving a subject's notability. In any case, a sizeable portion of the three-paragraph article consists of quotations from Corey Mohler himself. The other one, a Salon article, comes from a publication that is generally regarded as being of questionable reliability. The Paste article is functionally a three-paragraph advertisement. The article in El País is the only one that has any real content. A search for additional sources found a few passing mentions and republications of Existential Comics' issues in Philosophy Now. ―Susmuffin Talk 00:53, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

That said, here are some book sources: [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26]. I think these added to what is already in the article collectively pass WP:GNG.4meter4 (talk) 03:55, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- The first one is a paragraph long, the second one is a passing mention that is preceded by a part of a paragraph, the third one is a paragraph that discusses a random tweet that the author made, the fourth one is another passing mention that accuses the author of praising an "abusive, totalitarian dictator and mass murderer", the fifth one is a third passing mention and the sixth one is a brief mention of another random tweet. ―Susmuffin Talk 12:03, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Length is not the only determining factor over whether something is significant coverage. The type of source and the claim being made is also important. In this case, we have scholarly engagement with the material, some of which highlight this as a notable publication within the broader literature of its type. The number of sources is also a factor when collectively much can be said about a topic verified to SECONDARY materials. We can have a reliable article verified to SECONDARY materials of a decent length. That's a good sign of notability, and a good reason for inclusion.4meter4 (talk) 16:41, 1 November 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. This magazine looks clearly like SIGCOV, and the Olympic dream story is 350 words and also clearly SIGCOV. @Hack: Also added several offline sources that are almost certainly SIGCOV as well, including "Jumping the queue; Erwin puts case for Olympics", "Erwin's nervous wait", and "Riding high". If not kept, it should be redirected. Olympians never should be outright deleted as there are always redirect targets, and deleting just to create a redirect makes zero sense. @Enos733, Katzrockso, Let'srun, and Allan Nonymous: BeanieFan11 (talk) 17:41, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
"This magazine looks clearly like SIGCOV"
- it's an interview. Ditto the second piece, also an interview. Didn't we just have a conversation where you acknowledged that interviews don't contribute to notability? FOARP (talk) 19:52, 19 November 2025 (UTC)- To describe it as solely an interview is disingenuous. Quotes from the subject do not count for notability, but independent content on the subject in the sources does. Just because a source has some quotes absolutely does not make it ineligible to count as SIGCOV. The magazine has over 600 words about her that is not quotes from Erwin – which is clearly enough for SIGCOV. The next source has several hundred words of independent prose as well, not to mention we have several other stories that we know are on her and are also very likely significant. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:02, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- I am not being "disingenuous", it is indeed just the plain truth that this is an interview and accusing people of lying without basis is a personal attack. Or do you really think that when the interviewer says, for example:
"She also remembers the first time she jumped the FEI four-star event in Fontainebleau, France. She walked onto the huge grass field feeling starstruck — Big Star, a horse that had won a gold medal at the London Olympics, had gone before her and had knocked one or two rails. The jumps were set very large and the course was intimidating. However, after pulling the first rail, Erwin’s horse Matilda had a clear round. She felt proud knowing that she could have full trust in her horse’s ability to jump a huge track."
- That this is not simply just paraphrasing what Erwin said to her? And the entire article is like this. Same with the second, or do you really think that a sentence like
"In both cases, she intends to bring the knowledge and experience she gains in Europe back to Australia."
is not simply paraphrasing what Erwin said? FOARP (talk) 20:16, 19 November 2025 (UTC)THAISA Erwin jetted out yesterday for what she hopes is a showjumping berth in the Athens Olympics ... Thaisa, who graduated earlier this year with a double degree in environmental engineering from the University of New England and the University of Newcastle, will combine her Olympic quest with an investigation of European advances in the use of renewable energy ... After qualifying for the Olympics in January, Thaisa went on to win the World Cup qualifier at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, riding her 10-year-old show jumper, The Countryman. She and The Countryman will not only trial for a berth at the Olympics but also compete in the European season. Now working for an environmental consulting firm based in Maitland she is involved in renewable energy projects including the establishment of wind farms. Thaisa developed as a show jumping competitor while growing up and studying in Armidale ... Meanwhile, she has taken out a personal loan to pay the extensive cost of air travel to Europe for herself and The Countryman – and living expenses for them both when there. Including the travel and accommodation costs for herself and The Countryman and entrance fees into the World Cup championship events, Thaisa is facing costs of $70,000 to $100,000 ... Now, with the Olympics finally in sight, she is also preparing for the World Equestrian Games in Germany in 2006.
– none of that is accurately described as "paraphrasing what Erwin said", and that's from the shorter article – the magazine has much more non-quote content on her. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:21, 19 November 2025 (UTC)THAISA Erwin jetted out yesterday for what she hopes is a showjumping berth in the Athens Olympics
- So the interviewer is a mind reader? Please. FOARP (talk) 20:32, 19 November 2025 (UTC)- You cherry-picked the one sentence out of the 10 about her that I cited above that could possibly be considered "paraphrasing". Just about all good sports reporting in modern times interviews or includes some quotes from subjects related to the article.

- Tilly Norwood (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I have seriously gone back and forth in my mind about making this nomination. For some background, 6 weeks ago I contacted a fellow editor who is very experienced, to get their opinion on the article. (I don't know whether it is okay to link it due to the WP:CANVASSING rule, so I will opt not to.) The main issue was that the entire media decided to report on Norwood en masse, creating a significant amount of coverage in the span of a week. This is evident in the article, which has no sources from after Oct 3. The sources are almost all reliable, there is no question there, however it is quite clearly about one thing and nothing else. WP:BLP1E doesn't apply as Norwood isn't "alive". Norwood, apart from existing, hasn't actually done anything. Literally nothing. WP:GNG is met because of the amount of initial coverage there was. I can't think of a notability policy that hasn't been met here.
This article is an example of WP:RECENTISM, which is an essay, so isn't really strong enough rationale for deletion on its own. I believe WP:CRYSTAL is somewhat relevant as the coverage Norwood has received relates to how she can save filmmakers money in the future by casting her. As of yet, this has not happened. WP:TOOSOON also applies to this. Then there is WP:INDISCRIMINATE, but this falls flat on its face most of the time at AfD, so I am not going to try and make that argument here. I think the strongest policy I can cite here is WP:NOTNEWS.
Basically, this is an AI persona created by a non-notable company, founded by a questionably notable actress. I don't think there is a precedent for this, but I don't believe for a second that Norwood qualifies for a standalone article. This is nothing more than a trend that came into existence and died in the same week. 11WB (talk) 00:23, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

- @MidnightMayhem, I did cite a policy actually, WP:CRYSTAL. 11WB (talk) 02:02, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- CRYSTAL requires a prediction or speculation on the future. I don't see that in the article. Could you cite a section of the article which you see as speculation? Mikeycdiamond (talk) 02:21, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- I think WP:CRYSTAL is a fairly weak argument here considering that most of the sourcing and prose in the article is grounded in current commentary, and all I'm seeing at the talk page is a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT arguing that Norwood is AI slop. I agree with editor Erik's explanation that Wikipedia summarizes coverage from reliable sources, and that if notability is established, quality of the topic doesn't matter. I'll point out again that you admitted GNG and SIGCOV are met. So, I still don't see enough reason for deletion. MidnightMayhem (talk) 02:27, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- I can't speak for other editors, whether IDONTLIKEIT applies or not to them, I am not able to answer. I can only speak for myself in that I make AfD nominations when I believe there is a case for an article to not be included on Wikipedia. @Mikeycdiamond, you have asked me a question, so I am going to assume you wanted me to answer, I want to be very careful I don't come across as if I am bludgeoning. The following quotes from the article come under WP:CRYSTAL:
- '
Particle6 has stated that using Norwood could cut production costs by 90%.
' - This is a prediction. - '
Actresses Melissa Barrera, Kiersey Clemons, and Natasha Lyonne suggested boycotting any agency who signed Norwood, while Mara Wilson asked why none of the "hundreds of living young women" who went into Norwood could be hired instead.
' - This line in the reception section doesn't appear as being a prediction, but the general topic is about whether agencies will hire Norwood in the future. - '
Van der Velden claimed that studios had dropped their objections by May after being opposed in February, and that multiple talent agencies were considering representing Norwood.
' - The source from Deadline, which is reliable, says that this is expected. They were talking about it with them, but it is not a guarantee, so Van der Velden made a prediction here. - I will say the article has been improved since it was first created, which is good. However, it is based entirely on sources that are contemporary reporting, which is covered under WP:NOTNEWS. I have expressed my reasoning in my initial post, it is a tough case to make, but I genuinely believe there is nothing differentiating Norwood from any other AI character anybody could make using Google Veo or another generator. This does need to be my last reply now, as I have already crossed into bludgeoning territory. I am answering @Mikeycdiamond's question and not intending to force a point through. 11WB (talk) 02:39, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- The first quote should probably be removed, but that isn't enough of a reason to delete the whole article, the second quote makes no predictions, and the third quote makes no claim that the agencies will hire her, just that they're considering it. As for your not news arguement, it has gotten consistent coverage for two months, what more could you want? Also, yes, it is no different than any other AI, but we don't get to decide that Tilly Norwood isn't notable just because we think it is dumb. I personally think it is dystopian, but my personal opinion holds no weight here. Mikeycdiamond (talk) 03:10, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- I've gone over this in my head for about a month already. I was told to wait, which I have. However, I bit the bullet and decided to just get it over with. GNG is only met because the media decided to report it en masse. That is not my argument for deletion in this AfD. NOTNEWS, CRYSTAL, RECENTISM, TOOSOON and INDISCRIMINATE are. Of those, NOTNEWS probably has the strongest policy rationale for deletion. CRYSTAL has been rebutted, but the others have not. 11WB (talk) 04:51, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: I am not surprised by the keep votes coming in already. I'm not going to respond to every vote as that would amount to WP:BLUDGEONING. This article from The Independent reports that the company who created Norwood are planning to make 40 more AI "actors". If the next 40 get this much coverage, then surely they should all get their own articles? 11WB (talk) 01:57, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- It is unlikely they will get similar coverage. Tilly Norwood was a shock, and, as much as I hate to say this, an innovation. She represents the distopia that has been slowly approaching since the rise of ChatGPT. The shock of an AI being able to "act" and peoples hate for AI is what likely caused the sparks of debate, and eventually, notability. Mikeycdiamond (talk) 02:26, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

- Delete: Points 2, 3, and 4 of WP:NOTNEWS apply to this article. Although it’s true Norwood meets the general notability outlined in WP:GNG, articles on wikipedia must meet notability requirements “and not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy”. See paragraph four in Wikipedia:Notability. If Norwood actually stars in something and gets another round of media coverage, I could see the NOTNEWS rule no longer applying. JoeyS7 (talk) 13:23, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- You summed this up better than I ever could have. Thank you. For anybody viewing this AfD, how @JoeyS7 explained their rationale aligns with my own. NOTNEWS is the most relevant policy that Norwood violates. 11WB (talk) 15:28, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- I am going to attempt to merge the mini discussion happening at @Benmite's vote and respond to JoeyS7's vote point by point. The following are my arguments against JoeyS7 points:
- Point 2: There is nothing routine about this; Tilly Norwood is a first in the film industry. She also has been covered (at least by the sources in the article) from July 30 to November 13. While the premise of Tilly Norwood is idiotic, it has been widely discussed over a long period of time.
- Point 3: She isn't known for a single event. Particle6, the creator of Tilly Norwood, released a sketch of her on July 30 that Broadcast International made an article about. The company sat on Tilly Norwood for a few months, before showing it off at the Zurich Film Festival, which got it past the notability criteria.
- Point 4: I agree that the article is like a diary when it comes to including every person's view on Tilly Norwood, but per Wikipedia:IMPROVEIT, we shouldn't delete an article because of a fixable problem. Mikeycdiamond (talk) 01:01, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- You are right on point 2. I find your reasoning for point 3 questionable, being shown at an event as a concept and actually being cast in a box office film are two very different things, and the latter has not yet happened. If we are going to allow anything that has been shown at any festival ever, then that isn't a very high bar to meet. You basically conceded point 4, unfortunately it goes a bit beyond being strictly an editorial issue when Norwood's entire history takes place over less than 2 months. NOTNEWS is still very relevant here. 11WB (talk) 03:35, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- The bar isn't being set by the film festival; we are obviously not making being at a film festival a reason for notability. The point I made was that Tilly Norwood was known for two events: the skit and the film festival. Those events weren't connected in any way and is two events under the implied definition set by the policy. If point 3 was applicable, there would be an overlaying event within the article which we could write an article about. Also, what is wrong with the article that is being used for the point 4 claim is strictly an editorial issue. If we trimmed the last three paragraphs to be more condense, the article would be fine.

- Delete Passes notability, but not WP:NOTNEWS/WP:SUSTAINED. I'm going to say the page is WP:TOOSOON, and if she continues to be a figure used in the entertainment industry and garners more coverage, then the argument for a page would be stronger. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:59, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. WP:NOTNEWS does not override WP:GNG when the subject has significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources that discuss the topic in depth rather than simply reporting news events. This article clearly meets WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. WP:RECENTISM is an essay, not a policy, so it couldn't override WP:GNG even if it were applicable to this article, which in my view it isn't. I don't find WP:CRYSTAL or WP:TOOSOON particularly compelling because this article isn't making claims about the future that are speculative or unverified; significant coverage has already been clearly established and notability is not temporary. While I understand that this subject matter is bound to draw some strong opinions (and god knows I have my own), the bottom line is WP:GNG is the main threshold and this article passes it. — Hunter Kahn 19:57, 16 November 2025 (UTC)
- WP:NSUSTAINED actually says otherwise. '
Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability. However, sustained coverage is an indicator of notability, as described by notability of events. New organizations and future events might pass WP:GNG, but lack sufficient coverage to satisfy WP:NOTNEWSPAPER.
' This is a pretty firm notability guideline and one which this AfD uses against keeping the article. The sustained coverage is either not reliable or not relevant to the article and Wikipedia, as said above, is not a source for short-lived news events such as Norwood (and any others that follow). 11WB (talk) 22:12, 16 November 2025 (UTC)- Respectfully, but I believe WP:NSUSTAINED is being misapplied here. WP:NSUSTAINED is not a standalone notability requirement, it is an interpretive guidance for how to assess events and bursts of news that do not demonstrate in-depth coverage. The key part of the guideline is that "brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability." In this case, the coverage is neither trivial nor fleeting. There are multiple independent, reputable sources providing substantive, non-routine analysis of the subject, which is exactly what WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV require. — Hunter Kahn 03:43, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
- GNG and SIGCOV are not what's being argued here. The main policy for deletion is NOTNEWS. 11WB (talk) 04:06, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

- Strong Keep There have been sources both mentioning and exclusively about Tilly Norwood from reliable sources published after
Oct 3
: on October 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 31; and November 6, 7, 8, 10 11, 12, 13, and 17. I've bolded the sources that I've already added to the article and plan to add the rest soon, so it's no longer true that there areno sources from after Oct 3
and, as far as the sources that exist, I'd say coverage has been shown to extend far past October 3.
- Whether or not the company or the actress behind Tilly Norwood are
non-notable
orquestionably notable
, respectively, is immaterial to the discussion because neither the company nor the actress are the subject of the article. There have also been op-eds entirely or largely about Tilly Norwood published variously throughout October 7 to 20:- The i Paper ("Hollywood is Getting the Actress It Deserves")
- Wall Street Journal ("Tilly Norwood and U.S. Renewal")
- Fast Company ("What the Tilly Norwood Moment Should Teach Us")
- Los Angeles Times ("It's not acting if it’s just one AI avatar talking at another")
- The Conversation (twice)
- ABC News ("Why calling Tilly Norwood 'a piece of art' spectacularly misses the point")
- Cheddar ("Why AI 'actress' Tilly Norwood is no threat to Hollywood")
- CNA ("What the Tilly Norwood saga proved about AI-generated content")
- All of these are about much more than
how she can save filmmakers money in the future by casting her
, so not only does WP:CRYSTAL not apply here (as established above by Mikeycdiamond and MidnightMayhem), but this nomination is arguably a much closer example of what the policy cautions against, as 11WB writes,This is nothing more than a trend that came into existence and died in the same week

- Delete WP:NOTNEWS is a policy, the GNG is a guideline on how articles can meet notability criteria. There is no "cultural and commercial impact" of Norwood as of yet. Every news cycle will have punditry about its impact, that's not actually determining its actual impact. Discussion of the character only makes sense insofar as discussing AI and issues of personality rights. That doesn't equal a standalone page. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 14:35, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
- Here is a small sampling of the cultural impact so far:
- What AI-generated Tilly Norwood reveals about digital culture, ethics and the responsibilities of creators
- The AI ‘actor’ Tilly Norwood is a symptom of blandified film culture. We need a return to reality
- AI ‘Actor’ Tilly Norwood Isn’t Real, But Could Present Real Problems for Hollywood
- Would you watch a film with an AI actor? What Tilly Norwood tells us about art – and labour rights

- Now tell me again there is no cultural or commercial impact. ~2025-31637-19 (talk) 20:27, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
- Here is a small sampling of the cultural impact so far:
- Keep because it is not just routine news, which is what WP:NOTNEWS actually says. This is more akin to an event, and per WP:EVENTCRITERIA, "Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact or were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards." This "event" has been covered and re-analyzed in the past two months by very many diverse sources. Even doing a WP:SET today continues to show the topic come up in the past week. The "Commentary" section in the article is especially why this topic is not news. Plain old news coverage do not get that commentary. EDIT: WP:NSUSTAINED also applies: "Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability. However, sustained coverage is an indicator of notability, as described by notability of events." Erik (talk | contrib) 03:36, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
- If the page was about an event it would be "Introduction of Tilly Norwood" or the like. It's clearly not with the current title or content. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 08:37, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, regardless of the title as it is now, it's an event. It's also a generated persona. It's also commentary about its introduction and the persona's meaning. I'm fine with the current article title encompassing all of that. If you or others want to request a title move to encompass that better, that's fine too. Tilly Norwood controversy? It could be that the infobox does not need to be topside and could instead be in a "Character" section instead, focusing more on the commentary. There is clearly event-type sustained coverage from many different sources around something that is a bit unusual of a topic as we've had. Based on the above and all the coverage we've seen, I find there to be a basis for a standalone article. Erik (talk | contrib) 12:51, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

- Many new credible stories and mentions have appeared since the page was nominated a week ago. Ongoing references and coverage show that topic notability has been established and reestablished. Randy Kryn (talk) 09:34, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

We already have Culture of Yemen, Demographics of Yemen, Tribes of Yemen, and Yemeni diaspora. Most of this article is a WP:ESSAY-like digression on the genetic diversity of Yemenis, which is sourced mostly to primary sources and is largely duplicative of content in Genetic history of the Middle East and the problematic Genetic studies on Arabs. This section is almost certainly AI-written with mush like "Yemen's unique geographic position raises questions about its infuence on the genetic structure of its inhabitants." (what?!). Delete per WP:ESSAY and WP:TNT; this could hypothetically be a real article because the Yemeni people are obviously notable, but this article is completely unworthy.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
It looks like someone created pages for all the major candidates in the 2017 NJ governor's race, regardless of notability. Brennan is a firefighter who lost in the Democratic primary. His only real claim to fame is that he's made quite a few citizen legal complaints against public officials and got into a bit of a spat with Chris Christie, but that doesn't seem to have translated to any lasting news coverage beyond 2017. The articles about his complaints don't name him in the headline, which indicates that he's not seen as a notable political figure within New Jersey. I'd suggest a redirect to 2017 New Jersey gubernatorial election#Democratic primary. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 00:07, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

It looks like someone created pages for all the major candidates in the 2017 NJ governor's race, regardless of notability.
