Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Deletion sorting

Note: this page is purely an aggregation page of transclusions and not in the same format as other Deletion Sorting pages. "Generic biographies" should be added to Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/People, which is transcluded directly below.

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to People. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Note: In most cases there is another, more specific category than this one.

If possible, please use one of these instead:

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary, it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Deletion sorting|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to People.

Does not pass WP:GNG, non-notable, promotional. Article has been draftified [1] and declined by the AfC process [2][3][4][5][6] prior for a lack of reliable sources and promotional tone, both issues are still present.

These are not self-published or trivial mentions. The article can always be improved, but the notability bar is met.

LLM-generated comment collapsed per WP:AITALK

Comment by subject:

Thank you for the feedback. While some editors suspect the coverage might be paid, the sources used in the article — *Punch, Guardian, ThisDay, Vanguard, The Nation, and Daily Trust* — are all major, independent Nigerian newspapers. The article is written in a neutral tone and avoids promotional language. None of the sources are labeled as sponsored or advertorial.

It’s worth noting that an editor previously reviewed the article and declined the speedy deletion nomination, recognizing that the sources present make a credible claim of importance.

I’m open to improvements and edits, but I believe the subject passes the general notability guideline based on national media coverage. — Realjjfrosh (talk) 07:48, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This came up at WP:COIN, where there has been argument also over whether the subject is notable or not. Bringing here to get a clear consensus. I am personally a weak delete: the source I see are all either glancing mentions or human interest reporting of the sort that I do not think adds much to notability. I am influenced by WP:TNT: this overweight article has little to do with what an eventual article on the subject would look like. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 19:49, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The article appears to be well referenced on its surface, but upon further investigation they are very much lacking. The sources marked US Chess are actually from the US Chess Federation, whereas reading US Chess initially implied to me it was some sort of news publication - the rest appear to be largely passing mentions, or routine coverage and scoreboards. I also concur with the nominator that TNT bears some weight here. I'd be interested to hear the opinion of a chess editor but from my point of view there's not much to build an article on. MediaKyle (talk) 21:01, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I can confirm the assessment of MediaKyle that the cited sources are largely passing mentions, coverage by local news outlets of "local boy does good", and crosstables. The edit history shows that the whole article was written by Chessy12, whose user page declares a conflict of interest over the article. In other words, the article is an WP:Autobiography.

Individual lawyers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, but this is not citing any WP:GNG-worthy reliable sourcing to establish notability here, and it can't just stay in draft form since I'm not seeing anything in a Google search that suggests any kind of salvageability.

Comment: Looking at the condition of the article, I don’t think it should be kept. Aside from the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi Award, which gives him some notability. Most claims are unsourced tagged. I'll wait for other wikiusers input....strong sources that could change my mind, but for now, not seeing enough to justify a standalone article. Chronos.Zx (talk) 08:50, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Being a recipient of Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi Award is enough for notability claim. Ramanchakyar was the founder of the oral drama in Chakyar Kooth and Koodiyattam. He has contributed to revive both these art forms and is known as the renaissance hero in Koodiyattam art. This makes him eligible as per the second point stated in WP:ANYBIO. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field. I would also like to add that the condition of the article should not be considered while nominating it for deletion. If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD. If an article has issues try first raising concerns on the article's talk page, with the main contributors, or an associated WikiProject, and/or adding a cleanup tag, this ensures readers are aware of the problem and may act to remedy it.

It is mostly about a controversy with another creative Bobrisky; which has this article leaning towards WP:PSEUDO. Besides him being known for cross-dressing in Nigeria (an act that would be reported by the blogs/websites/news regardless of the person), there is no point in this person having an article. It also fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:BASIC. There is no sources that are verifying this person as a professional dancer.

Weak keep. An article being in bad shape is not a good reason to delete. With a quick news search, I found a decent source for him being a dancer, along with other material showing an argument for WP:BASIC as an internet personality: Brown was featured in a notable documentary, and there is a volume of ongoing coverage about him in Nigerian press. However, much of that is relatively light coverage rather than substantial in-depth coverage. I suspect that somebody else could spend a bit more time here and gather together more sources to assemble a decent article. Dreamyshade (talk) 21:03, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
While I appreciate the restructure of the page and I respect your comment but he is not a professional dancer. Also as I said in the above comment, "Besides him being known for cross-dressing in Nigeria (an act that would be reported by the blogs/websites/news regardless of the person), there is no point in this person having an article." Anyone who "cross-dress" in Nigeria would receive significant coverage by the media. Public disagreements should not be mentioned in the 'personal life' section. Also the film or documentary that he is featured in does not feature him as main topic. He is just a person that was interviewed in the documentary, he is not even mentioned as a cast member. Sackkid (talk) 22:17, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The notability claim is for being an internet personality. The article doesn't claim he's a professional dancer, just that he's a dancer, and the source I added verifies that he's a dancer.

Are you saying that coverage of a cross-dressing person in Nigerian news media seems to be WP:ROUTINE, so it doesn't count for notability? I don't see evidence supporting that in the news coverage about him. Much of the news coverage repeats or reflects something he said or did on social media, which seems to be newsworthy because he has such a large social media following. A fair bit of the coverage also has an aspect of tabloid/WP:SENSATIONAL coverage related to his gender non-conformity, with superficial reporting that does not make an effort to verify claims, which is a large part of why I voted weak keep.

As you can read in the sources I added, the NY Times review and Vogue review both describe Brown as one of two main figures in the documentary, not simply interviewed in the film. Dreamyshade (talk) 01:45, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In a nutshell, that's exactly what I'm saying. I can list several people in Nigeria who have gone viral several times and provide an article that mentions their names but it doesn't make them notable. He hasn't done anything of notable status. Social media posts and everything of that nature are trivial. The mere appearance of the subject in a film, song, video game, television show, or the like is insufficient. Furthermore, when we describe a topic's profession, that's just what it is.. a profession. So with that being said, if he is not a professional comedian, professional dancer, or anything else, it should be removed. For example, when Wikipedia says "Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman". All of those titles are appropriate because that is a profession that she earns money in. It doesn't say "dancer" because she is not in the profession of dancing, nor does she make her money from dancer. And regardless of his position in the film or documentary, it still unnecessary for him to have a page. If anything, then this page should probably be merged with the film. You yourself voted that the page was a weak keep, which basically means it might as be deleted because it is not worth keeping. And as said before, it still fails the criterias mentioned above. Sackkid (talk) 02:23, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As a comedian, it needs to be established that he does comedic work (stand-up, comedy-streaming videos, etc.). As a singer, he needs to have a charting song/album, certified album, major-label music release, etc. If you are claiming that he is a brand influencer, he needs to have been involved in major endorsements. If you are claiming that he is an internet personality or content creator, he needs to meet the guidelines of WP:CREATIVE. None of these apply to him. Sackkid (talk) 02:29, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A person doesn't have to meet WP:CREATIVE if they meet WP:BASIC. I've added more sources, and it still looks to me like there's an argument for WP:BASIC, but I'd like to hear from people familiar with Nigerian news media who can better evaluate the sources. Adjusted the article to describe his dancing, comedy, etc., as part of his content creation work, rather than as a separate profession. Dreamyshade (talk) 03:42, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. So the page has been restructured so that handled the WP:PSEUDO problem but it still fails WP:CREATIVE and WP:ANYBIO. He is still only known for his viral moment and the fact that he cross-dresses in Nigeria; a defiant of Nigerian law which many have gained recognition from. Also, the infobox on the page says he is a comedian and also a brand influencer but there is nothing supporting that he is a professional comedian or professional brand influencer.

While I agree that it is probably a hoax, I'm not absolutely sure. I tried to locate sources, and came across [38].

Delete. I mean, look. For individual statements of fact, we aim for 99.3% confidence that it's true. That's the best we can humanly do. That is not met by facts of which it can be said "most probably true" let alone "could be true" or "might not be false". So, "While I agree that it is probably a hoax, I'm not absolutely sure" is um well short of the confidence we need to state a fact, let alone keep a whole article. The statement admitting guilt by the hoaxers, above, is pretty damning. It could itself be a hoax, but I doubt it. Finally, the Turks deleted their article in 2017. While that doesn't prove anything, it's not an endorsement for the article existing here if the Turks themselves don't want it. Herostratus (talk) 18:36, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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

The subject is a non-notable actress and model who has made only minor appearances in films and music videos. The "Filmography" section is misleading, as she did not have a lead role in Kesari Veer. The article relies mainly on primary sources, mentions, interviews, and WP:NEWSORGINDIA and lacks WP:SIGCOV coverage.

Concerns include potential manipulation of her date of birth, with primary source citations (e.g., Instagram) contradicting verifiable information, such as her being 20 in 2016 during India's Next Top Model season 2. The article may be affected by COI/UPE and violates WP:TOOSOON.

What about significant coverage in secondary and reliable sources?

Zuck28 (talk) 16:14, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
What about it? I've added a few secondary sources to the page. Also 1) I've added a source indicating she plays one of the four main characters in Kesari Veer (and see Leading actor) and the filmography can hardly be described as "misleading". 2) A page cannot "violate" WP:TOOSOON, which is an essay, not a policy but, most of all, citing that essay may have been useful back in 2017 but certainly not today, as she has now an already notable acting career 3) Stating that she has "made only minor appearances in films" is totally inaccurate, for that matter. I have no idea about potential conflicts of interest regarding the page but in its current state, it does not strike me as an issue. Eva UX (talk) 16:58, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There’s no Wp:SIGCOV in Wp:RS. Only passing mentions, wp:NEWSORGINDIA, and interviews.Zuck28 (talk) 08:52, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Even if that assessment was correct, she still would pass Wikipedia:NACTRESS. And please note that WP:BASIC indicates that "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" (the different reviews in reliable sources of the 3 films she had lead roles in mention her performances with critical assessment and those mentions, some being brief, cannot be considered trivial nor passing mentions). Eva UX (talk) 16:26, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NACTRESS. What secondary sources are you looking for, reviews suffice. The 2 interviews should be considered for sourcing since they are not the bulk of the sourcing. You can always tag the page for needing citations instead of deletion. DareshMohan (talk) 05:58, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Interviews are primary sources and therefore unreliable for supporting claims in articles. While interviews can be used to establish that an interviewee made a particular statement, they are not considered reliable for verifying the accuracy of those statements. For example, this actress lied about her age in one of her Instagram posts, and later that post was used as a reference to manipulate the date of birth on Wikipedia. See wp:IV

There are reviews of the movies as citations but none of them can really provide in-depth reporting. See Wp:SIGCOV.

while someone passing Wp:NACTOR may be considered notable, but this is not always necessary.Zuck28 (talk) 07:00, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Meets notability criteria per WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. She has acted in films across major Indian language industries (Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada), with roles that received individual mention in professional reviews. The Times of India described her as "bold and glamorous," while The New Indian Express and Cinema Express included her debut in their critiques. In addition to her film roles, she has appeared in high-profile music videos performed by prominent artists like Badshah, Tiger Shroff, and Harrdy Sandhu — each of which has received notable media attention. Her modeling background, including participation in India’s Next Top Model, further supports a career with sustained media visibility. I think reliable sources, both mainstream and entertainment-specific, provide significant coverage of her career, satisfying the general notability guideline.

keep as a stub or delete the redirect. I am of course familiar with Shane Jacobson, and have several of his films in my library, so when I stumbled on the name "Shane Jacobsen", unlinked, in an article on an unfamiliar film I was surprised. I linked it without saving, to see where it would lead, and found to my surprise that it led to the Australian actor. Not impossible, as many Aussie actors have found their way into American films. Off to IMDb, where Shane Jacobsen of New Orleans is mentioned as appearing in three or four movies, two having WP listings and, quite properly, neither one linked. How much time did I waste? Two minutes tops. Had it confused anyone else? Maybe not. Would someone turning those unlinked "Shane Jacobsen"s blue reduce Wikipedia's usefulness ? Absolutely. The beauty of this solution is the hatnote. Anyone looking for either person by that name gets what they want.
- We cannot keep it because he is not notable. The notable actor's name is regularly misspelled this way by sources, so it is just as likely someone would be searching for him - sen/son are regularly confused in names and this mistake is in many news articles referring to him. Sometimes, people have similar names. PARAKANYAA (talk) 06:08, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect: To Shane Jacobson. The person who made the existing redirect into a stub first initially made a stub worthy of BLPPROD. Took me two reverts explaining in the edit summary why this is a bad thing to prompt them to make an actual stub, albeit still unsourced for the time being. This was good enough for me. Now that the stub is in AFD now, I'll be truly honest. Even after a source got added by another editor, I just don't see how this actor meets NACTOR, he's just too obscure of an actor. Plus that Shane Jacobsen is a valid misspelling of Shane Jacobson. Yelps ᘛ⁠⁐̤⁠ᕐ⁠ᐷ critique me 15:31, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
no contest re notability of actor Shane Jacobsen, and I have reverted the links I made in those two film articles.

These are not routine mentions but in-depth pieces that satisfy substantial coverage. In total, more than five articles across major outlets profile his work and background.

My concerns about this person's notability still hasn't eased since the previous AFD discussion, which resulted in "kept". Re-reading the discussion, the "keep" votes aren't without caution if not suspicion.

One promised to improve the article or something (to further verify this person's notability), but I still don't see logs of edits made by that voter. Another is now blocked for abusing multiple accounts. Another cited WP:NACTOR, which is what I was unwilling to challenge then due to lack of votes favoring either deletion or redirection.

I re-raised my concerns recently not too long ago:

Transcluding from Talk:Ben Driebergen

I'm concerned again about this person's notability. The following I cannot use to verify because they are just interviews, i.e. primary sources, which neither WP:GNG nor WP:NBASIC would allow such sources to be counted: Ent Weekly (another), Pajiba. Screen Rant (source) is discouraged per WP:RSP#Screen Rant. Reality Tea displays just his brief profile. I was able to listen to the Idaho Statesman article; it just previews his then-upcoming The Challenge appearance. Maybe I'm doubtful again about this person, but the reliable sources verifying his general/basic notability have become scarce. George Ho (talk) 17:58, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Since then, I've yet to see my concerns readdressed. To challenge the past assumption that WP:NACTORS suffices, this person must also comply with WP:NBASIC per WP:BIOSPECIAL. I've still yet to see reliable independent sources verify his notability in Survivor: Winners at War and/or The Challenge and/or any other non-television field even as a war veteran.

To make either WP:BLP1E or WP:BIO1E applicable (or WP:PAGEDECIDE/WP:WHYN/WP:FAILN if neither), this article should be preferably redirected to Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers, his winning season at his Survivor debut. George Ho (talk) 16:56, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to watch it. Already, he won just one season and reappeared as one of established winners in the winners-only season.

weak keep: Lots of coverage in Gnews about the Survivor win, from 2017 then again in 2020. Shows sustained coverage. It's a mix of interviews, how he'll spend the money and the usual celebrity news, but he's well-known to the public. Oaktree b (talk) 14:25, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why am I not surprised about your mentioning of Google results? from 2017 then again in 2020 Ones from 2017 are primarily about him winning and how he won Heroes vs Healers vs Hustlers, which can be already detailed at the season page. Ones from 2020 still refers him as the winner of that season and probably promoted the Winners at War season before the season started. Ones covering his Winners at War gameplay were just recaps and interviews with him.

a mix of interviews, how he'll spend the money Still didn't prevent the article about the Survivor 43 winner from being redirected to the season article (AFD discussion), despite giving all to charity.

he's well-known to the public. As I see, he appeared in Quiet Explosions: Healing the Brain, a documentary film about war veterans and PTSD. Then again, WP:NBASIC. Anyways, with that quote said, any "well-known" Survivor winners that have been redirected to their own winning seasons? What about the Blood vs. Water winner (AFD) or The Australian Outback one (AFD) or...?

There are even discussions in Gscholar and Books about him, studying adversarial networks. Hmm... You're getting there maybe, but... No, wait, the Google Scholar shows just few or several results, including one German database showing info about this book and one turning out to be a student's thesis. Some of the results there are repeated in Google Books, like this one. Well, the sources are just covering his HvHvH gameplay. I've yet to see them cover his gameplay in Winners at War and The Challenge, like his med-evacs there.

Well, I can't help being nitpick-y about your rationale for your "weak keep" vote. I don't know how else to convince you, but then I'll stop here, hoping that someone else besides me can disagree with you. George Ho (talk) 20:13, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be deleted because the subject doesn’t meet Wikipedia’s rules for notable academics or public figures.

His h-index and i10-index are much lower than what is normally expected for a professor in the Humanities.

Delete I'm not sure I agree that evidence of Wahlgren's notability would predate the digital age (most of her listed accomplishments are post-2005), and given that much of her work focuses on technology, I would expect it to be documented even in the earlier days of the Internet. The non-primary sources appear to either be permanently dead links (e.g., the silicon.com article) or don't actually mention Wahlgren (e.g., the MLS relocation or Ticketmaster) so there still doesn't seem to be WP:SIGCOV, and more importantly, no WP:Verifiability of her role in those accomplishments. And overall, the article reads like a CIO's resume, so it's tough to square with WP:NOTPROMO. Local Internet User (talk) 17:41, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Giovanni Baldelli

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

Having gone through the available source material, I have been unable to find anything to establish significant coverage of this person in reliable sources. His main work of note was a single book about social anarchism, which has received some attention but not much more than a passing reference in most sources (see Google Scholar results). David Wieck's obituary for the Social Anarchism journal, listed in the further reading, appears to be the only work specifically about Baldelli that could lead to any development of this article. As this article appears not to meet the notability guidelines for authors, I'm recommending it for deletion. A possible alternative to deletion could be redirecting to social anarchism, although he's not mentioned in the body of that article, so this may not be appropriate.

Redirect simply as an alternative to deletion. The keep comments above have not established which sources as a group meet the GNG. If all we have is the one encyclopedia source and passing mentions in books (which is all I've found), then that isn't enough on which to base a standalone article. It would require a much deeper scavenge of period Italian-language sources to find reviews for his other works, as his 1972 Social Anarchism was not apparently reviewed in English-language periodicals or indexed in Book Review Digest. czar 15:47, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As an aside, it's completely absurd to think this person might not be notable. They founded the most successful chess journalism / media company ever, and are one of the most well-known media figures in chess. The nominator lacks the WP:COMPETENCE to be familiar with the subject and did not put adequate effort to look for sources. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 14:08, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sources from chessbase.in are WP:SPS, and thesportzplanet.com, perlenvombodensee.de, and fountainink.in are more like blogs with little or no editorial oversight. To clarify, ChessBase has existed since 1986 and the Indian version was only co-founded by him. Claiming that “they founded the most successful chess journalism/media company ever, and are one of the most well-known media figures in chess” reflects your bias and is not policy based. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 15:02, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Complete nonsense. Media-wise, the Indian version of ChessBase is way more important than the German version. How do you not know that? Sportsfan77777 (talk) 17:55, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, Perlen vom Bodensee is not just a blog, [58], it is a very reliable source, also trusted by de-wp, for what it's worth. - Squasher (talk) 13:18, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please double check? Because from what I see, the only author who consistently writes on Perlen vom Bodensee is Conrad Schormann, who is also the founder. Six articles were written by Stefan Löffler and a few by Roland Neumeier. The translated DE wiki article states that "The site's editor is Conrad Schormann, who is supported by a team of 18 authors.", which I believe is misleading based on what I’ve seen so far and the fact that the article has very few edits also doesn’t help its reliability. In any case, having a page on DE wiki doesn’t automatically make the source reliable, especially since the standards on EN wiki are significantly higher, which I believe you already know. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 15:34, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing to add or to check. I saw the article this afternoon by chance and also the the AfD, with a comment I did not completely agree and just wanted to leave a note that might help. The source is viewed as reliable in de-wp by the chess portal, if you do not agree, that is fine for me. Sagar Shah is at least in my eyes a relevant topic for someone like me, who follows chess purely from an interested viewer point of view. He is very well known in the chess eco system, in de-wp he is notable already just by having reached the IM title. If he doesn't meet the criteria here, because no sources can be found, that are seen as sufficient, so be it. - Squasher (talk) 20:19, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ChessBase India is not an WP:SPS. He is not the one writing the articles that are about him. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 17:26, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'll also note that ChessBase India is probably the most reliable WP:RS among chess publications. If you don't want to count it for the subject of this article because he's the one who created it, there's some lacking WP:COMMONSENSE going on here. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 17:26, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Another note, the nominator does not understand what ChessBase or ChessBase India are. These sites exist to sell chess products (e.g. software, under the name ChessBase), hence why they have similar names. They also both have a media/journalism component, but the two media/journalism components are completely separate from each other. ChessBase's media/journalism component is not considered particularly important or successful, while ChessBase India's media/journalism component has been so successful that a lot of people believe the media/journalism component has overtaken the chess products component in terms of the company's image. I can provide sources to back this up, but this is just common knowledge if you are familiar with chess. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 17:40, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Although you are correct that Chessbase India is not a WP:SPS, as he is its founder, I don't see how it can be considered independent of the subject. Also the interview with him is primary - see WP:IV. Interviews are not fine - they are primary sources. But despite that, the Perlom vom Bodensee article looks good - SIGCOV in an independent reliable and secondary source. We need multiple, of course. There are mentions in a few other places, but I haven't yet found more. All the same, I think based on coverage that does not rise to significance or where independence is questionable, I still think we could support a presumption that more exists. That being said, there is a caution: the text of the Perlom vom Bodensee article has Werbung (advertising) just before the body text. If the whole article is paid advertising, then it is not independent. In that case I would say this is a clear case for deletion. Only if we can verify the independence of that article would I say it's enough to support a weak keep. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 18:16, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:IV says some kinds of interviews are fine. I agree with you that the video interviews are primary, but the written interviews vary. This one and this one are both definitely acceptable in that regard. For Perlom vom Bodensee, it's not a paid article, if that's what you mean. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 18:41, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If ChessBase India's media/journalism work is successful, then it deserves its own standalone article. By WP:SPS, what I was trying to point out is that he owns the Indian site, so anything it publishes about him can effectively be considered as self-published, even if it carries an author byline. I realize now that I phrased that poorly before but my main point is that these sources are not independent.

Likewise, the Chess.com Creator of the Month feature would be considered routine coverage if it were about any other YouTuber/streamer. From what I understand of the standards here, the bar for notability among YouTubers and content creators is quite high and a single interview or profile like this wouldn’t be enough to establish it.

Perlom vom Bodensee cannot be verified to have any kind of editorial oversight, as it is the founder publishing the majority of the articles and this is once again an interview. Jeraxmoira🐉 (talk) 06:40, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For most of the Creator of the Month articles, the issue would be it's not independent, as almost all of the featured creators are affiliated with Chess.com. But that's not the case with the subject of this article. He is one of the only creators featured who isn't affiliated with them. So it's not WP:ROUTINE. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 08:16, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Likewise, it's ridiculous to frame the subject as just a content creator when he is primarily known for creating an entire media platform. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 08:16, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Lean keep - Haven't investigated in depth but I've certainly heard the name before, he's a strong player (just below GM level) and I'm familiar with his writing on chessbase.

This article reads somewhat like a resume mixed with a blog, possibly because the subject, per the article, "keeps a low public profile". The references, though 30, are not predominantly about the subject; many are ammouncements about his company, and several others are general articles that mention him in passing. The few sources that are actually about him profile him for having a lot of money, either locally or in Forbes, and are not generally in depth. He does not appear to be personally notable.

Second nomination, but it's been 10 years and the previous one was no consensus on the erroneous assertion that founding companies makes a subject inherently notable. Related nomination to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryan Steelberg but I'm writing this one separately because it is a second nomination, even though the articles are substantially identical.

No evidence of notability. Search through Proquest, Google News, and other internet searches yield no apparent coverage other than in connection with his job. While frequently quoted in interviews, there is little to no notability-establishing 3rd party coverage in reliable sources treating him personally. Award lists do not contribute to notability. Relevant information here is already included in articles about the companies he's founded, and founding companies does not confer personal notability in and of itself (not in WP:BIO). The article is congratulatory in tone and it has not been possible to improve it using WP:RS since 2015 due to a lack of relevant sources.

This article was previously moved to draft space due to concerns about notability and insufficient coverage in reliable, independent sources. I reviewed the draft and declined it for lacking significant coverage to meet the general notability guideline (GNG). However, the creator has since moved it back to mainspace without addressing the sourcing concerns. While the subject has received an award, I believe it is not sufficient on its own to establish notability without substantial independent coverage. I'm bringing this to AfD so that other editors can review the article and share their opinions on whether it meets Wikipedia's notability standards. Afstromen (talk) 16:37, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kingsley Wilson

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

While I have no doubt in the reliability of references provided in the article, this subject does not look notable to me for several reasons. She has only been in office since January, with there being little coverage of her life and career, particularly because there does not seem to be significant coverage of that in reliable sources (as it can be seen, the references only briefly pass over what she has actually done in her life and instead concentrate on her political beliefs). As far as I'm aware, an official is not presumed to be notable only based on their political beliefs (most of this article is actually related to that instead of her short career). This then might be a case of WP:TOOSOON, where a politician could become notable in the future for their career accomplishments, and not instead of their political views. To close this off, there is coverage of this person in reliable sources independent of the subject but is this coverage "significant"? We could write a ton more articles like this where there's news coverage of someone's political beliefs, but little to none about what they have accomplished. I should also note that while the creator of this article has expanded several major articles to B-status which is sure appreciated, they were previously banned from creating articles in the mainspace and instead had to use the AfC system. This is one of the articles created since the ban expired in April. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 15:02, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:SIGCOV, I think you've confused significant coverage with coverage of what you think is significant... Your argument doesn't make any sense otherwise. Significant coverage of political beliefs counts just as much towards notability as significant coverage of political accomplishments. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 15:45, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Other than WP:TOOSOON, I would argue independently of that, she is not notable. Most of the sources were published at the same time so there is no demonstration of sustained coverage. The citations from the end of May are redundant. existence ≠ notability. There is a lot of masking a lack of notability. The article lists every job she's ever held. A vague position at Gettr for an unlisted amount of time is not encyclopedic. The sourcing is also misapplied. For example, the statement that she was sworn in on May 27th does not appear in the Forward despite the citation. Again, adding references to mask a lack of notability.--Mpen320 (talk) 18:34, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Kingsley, and some of her commentary, have received significant coverage from major sources in the short time she had been in the public eye.

Wilson has been in the news nonstop lately. I did a quick Google News search and gave up looking at news results by the 20th page. Of course some of those may be passing mentions or low quality but clearly this person is now one of the most prominent people in the States.

Moreover, her prior statements may be helpful in evaluating whether a given statement she may make in the future is affected by bias.

Thanks for your interest in this article, Anish Shah qualifies under WP:GNG, as he's the CEO of Mahindra group which is in India's top 25 companies. And he has significant coverage in reliable, independent sources as far as I researched after founding this article via Special:Random/Draft.

So I will improve this article asap to follow the Wikipedia:GNG completly. and kindly explain this- Business person does business things so I can know what wrong I did in this so I can improve that also. iVickyChoudhary (talk) 15:31, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@IVickyChoudhary: Being connected to a notable entity does not grant notability per WP:INHERIT. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:06, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I fully agree that notability is not inherited by association per Wikipedia:INHERIT. However, the argument for keeping this article is not based solely on Anish Shah’s role at Mahindra Group, but on his own notability, which is independently established through. Multiple reliable and independent sources that provide significant coverage of his leadership, strategic decisions, and business vision as Managing Director and CEO of Mahindra Group. Kindly search on Google about him. iVickyChoudhary (talk) 06:31, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

References say he's a businessperson doing business things. That's not SIGCOV. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:11, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your review. While I understand the concern that "businessperson doing business things" doesn't automatically imply notability, I respectfully argue that Anish Shah meets the WP:SIGCOV, and WP:GNG.

He has received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources such as Forbes India, Economic Times, and Business Today, which profile his leadership, strategic direction, and impact at Mahindra Group. This coverage goes beyond routine job announcements, it reflects independent journalistic interest in Shah as an individual business leader, not merely in the company he leads. His coverage is not trivial, routine, or tied to a single event. I will continue to improve the article by adding more sources that fulfill WP:SIGCOV and will restructure the article to reflect their depth and focus. iVickyChoudhary (talk) 07:58, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - "Business person does business things" … and on a global scale in ~~Choudhary's~~ Shah's case. Mahindra Group is huge ($23 billion plus).

Delete it appears many of the significant sources are resume-like or procedural "Shah picked as ..." or fall into the tabloid category "What is Mahindra Group's CEO Anish Shah's monthly salary?" but we don't necessarily get a substantive view of what makes him notable beyond running this company. The most significant pieces are on the business, not him as a person.

@Nayyn Thank you for the feedback. While I understand the concern regarding routine coverage, I’d respectfully argue that Anish Shah meets the threshold for WP:GNG through sustained, independent, and in-depth coverage.

Articles in Reuters, Economic Times, and Fortune India go beyond procedural appointments. They explore Shah’s leadership in restructuring Mahindra Group ( exit from loss-making units, multi-billion-dollar EV spin-off), his market-shaping role in India's SUV and EV sectors, and his national-level role as President of FICCI. These establish significant coverage focused on him, not just Mahindra as an entity.

And I'm happy to reduce the reference volume to address concerns of WP:REFBOMB iVickyChoudhary (talk) 06:10, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The current sourcing on the article is a bit of a mess and the article reads very promotionally but I think I found 3 sources that are in depth enough to count for GNG.

I think that these should be enough, but I am open to being shown that these sources are not independent enough to confer notability. Moritoriko (talk) 02:05, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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

Weak keep despite the earlier deletion. The coverage of his death seems to just barely qualify him. Pinging Zuck28 who added Pandey to the List of Bhojpuri actors in January. TheDeafWikipedian (talk) 20:36, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that the nominator has a very low understanding of the Wikipedia guidelines. They’re just nominating random articles created by me as an act of retaliation because I nominated a few of the articles they created about non-notable subjects. Their rationale for the AFD is unclear as, why they believe it should be deleted, anyways I leave this matter for fellow editors.

Thank you for pinging me.

Comment: Improved the article. Given his acting career, which includes lead roles in more than 40 films and notable awards, he easily passes Wp:NACTOR.

@CNMall41 OK, looking at WP:MUSICBIO, criteria 7 and 8 appear to be met, unless you consider that 8 only applies to western popular music. PamD 19:51, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No, I think something on the level the award is being claimed to be would fall under that criteria so Western/India would have no bearing. What I am saying is that even with an award, we still need significant coverage. Just winning an award does not guarantee notability. It even specifically says "may" be notable under that criteria. The sources we have are pour such as this (presented in the comment below) which is clearly unreliable as WP:NEWSORGINDIA. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:14, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment- In addition to the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award, Nagamani Srinath was also honored with the Rajyotsava Award in 1998, the second-highest civilian honor conferred by the Karnataka Government[77]. Furthermore, according to an article published in The New Indian Express on June 22, 2015, she was awarded the Sangita Kala Acharya Award by the Madras Music Academy, Chennai, for her outstanding contributions to the field of Carnatic music[78].-SachinSwami (talk) 16:35, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
According to this source she has won some other notable awards such as Karnataka Kalashree. Also she has significant coverage in The Hindu and Deccan Herald.Afstromen (talk) 05:42, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Afstromen, all the sources I included don’t fully support the claim; they are all weak. Mentioning an award alone isn’t enough; you need sources that clearly reference Nagamani Srinath’s work, like a review. For example, in Akaal: The Unconquered, when I checked, all the sources you added were weak. Later, I searched and added 5 reviews in the Reception section, which are sufficient to fully support the film and pass WP:GNG. Though the rules for films and individuals differ, reviews clearly referencing the work are sufficient for support. (I have no intention of misleading editors, so I apologize.) SachinSwami (talk) 08:39, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see that now. Thanks for the explanation. I still maintain that neither of those are independent. I would also think if she won the "highest award" as claimed, there would be more than just NEWSORGINDIA and a few interview type references. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:56, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Endorse PamD above; subject meets WP:MUSICBIO#7-8; also this bio suggests that #11 (and to some extent #12) can also be met. There's more biographical information about the subject in (Rajagopalan 1990, pp. 171) though with limited online preview. Also, the use of "may" in MUSICBIO, to my understanding, means that the fulfilled criteria should be verifiable in reliable independent sources, and not that a significant coverage is required in addition. WeWake (talk) 12:09, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you address the rebuttal as well? There is no such thing as inherent notability. The "may" is there because it indicates the subject is likely notable, not that they "are" notable. Otherwise, why include may when it can be replaced with something more definite. Note WP:BASIC ("presumed notable" but not "are notable"), which also covers "one event" which may apply as well. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:45, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

CNMall41, For a decades long career that's been recognized with several notable awards is not a case of WP:BLP1E in my opinion–the award makes it easier to obtain some news coverage but is not the only basis of notability here. For niche-musicians, traditional coverage might be hard to come by (as is the case here, though I found one tertiary source above). Nevertheless, my two cents is that the subject is "worthy of notice" or "note" through a verifiable statements capturing several subject-specific understanding (of the community) of notability, and should be kept with {{Sources exist}} if existing are insufficient for a BLP. The SNGs allow us to contextualize the requirements of WP:BASIC and avoid a renewed reinterpretation with every article. The use of 'may' in that language broadly captures that these policies are consensus driven and evolve, and thus it cannot (possibly ever) prescribe a definitive criteria of notability. — WeWake (talk) 17:47, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Worthy of notice would have more than just mentions or unreliable sourcing. I would agree a sources exist tag could be used, but that is assuming sources exist. They do not. All we have is what has been presented which falls short. --CNMall41 (talk) 21:22, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

1) first source you say passes the test is this. It is not independent as it is simply taken from her bio and can be seen in this press release, this bio, and this YouTube video description. It is not something that was independently verified. Simply a reprinted bio. 2) Not sure how much indepdnent journalism was invovled in this one based on this. But, let's assume it passes. That gives us one piece of significant coverage. 3) The third is not and "independent feature" or "in-depth article on her career." Unless the link provided is wrong, it is clearly an interview with the subject providing the content. Far from independent. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:54, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

CNMall41 – thanks for taking a look. Few comments: (1) The press release and linked PDF are the same (because they were published by the same source, the award committee). For the shaale.com bio, it's hard to say if they simply didn't copy the bio from the award publication. There's no wayback archive so I can't go back and check and would lean towards trusting the bio from the notable award committee (between the two). The video link seems wrong? It doesn't have anything about Nagamini. (2) The PDF you've linked is something that tons of coaching/preparatory academies or predatory colleges in India compile for students to study for exams that test them on general knowledge. I can say with some confidence that The Hindu article wouldn't borrow from that. (3) source is an interview, but it is a mix of primary (interview) and secondary source in my opinion. For example, the first two paragraphs in this case contain non-trivial coverage that's not coming from the interview/subject per-se. Also, not to mention the book citation from my comment. Cheers! — WeWake (talk) 06:10, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep She meets both WP:ANYBIO with multiple awards (not all in the article yet) and WP:MUSICBIO. The Hindu and Deccan Herald are reliable sources per WP:ICTFSOURCES. I have corrected the year she received the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award, per the source in this article and the info in the article about the award. I also don't think we can claim that no other sources exist - her career has spanned decades, and she has composed and performed in Kannada, Telugu and Tamil, so there would have been print coverage in those languages before the internet. Even for 2010, the year she received the major award, news coverage may not have been either digital or digitised. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:24, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This disambiguation page is unnecessary. At present, there is only one Wikipedia article referring to an individual with the surname Meyzenq, namely Raymond Meyzenq. The creating editor appears to consider an individual listed on the Salomon Group article to be a notable figure and therefore has created a disambiguation page. However, there is no existing article on this individual to substantiate this claim of notability. Therefore, this disambiguation page should be deleted or be redirected, with CAT:RWP, to the existing article on Raymond Meyzenq, since he is the only person with that surname currently covered on this platform.

@PamD: I understand your position. However, it would have been preferable to make the alterations through consensus. That was the primary reason this article was listed on AfD forums. Nevertheless, I maintain the view that this article, whether a disambiguation page or a surname-related entry, requires the inclusion of more notable individuals with existing Wikipedia articles in order to be retained. As you are aware, there are numerous senior executives across various notable companies who do not have individual Wikipedia articles on them and are therefore not included in surname-related pages. Thank you for sharing your perspective. Best regards. QEnigma (talk) 11:15, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@QEnigma I don't think any specific consensus is needed to remove an incorrect {{tl|dab}} template and add the correct {{tl|surname}} template. The AfD template says "Feel free to improve the article".

Plenty of CEOs don't have links, plenty do. I've made a redirect from him to the company, and tweaked the dab page accordingly. PamD 16:23, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've been wondering this for a while, as most surname lists are completely unsourced and almost certainly don't meet WP:NLIST. (For example, is it really the case that Meyzenq "has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources"?)

Delete I came here hoping desperately I could keep, because science communication matters. But the article is supported by only two sources, an imdb and an asteroid database. Google doesn't find anything that's not self-generated, but actually finds a lot of other Anton Petrovs in science, which makes things confusing. Even worse, the imdb site has two Anton Petrov's, one with the biography, but the other one[90] linked to the TV series on cosmology. This is probably just a mess-up of duplicate entries, but we can't really have articles based on (1) a single autobiography (self-published) - with no independent referencing - where (2) there's an element of doubt about who the article's about anyway. And the research paper doesn't help because it was a master's thesis, which is a routine part of an education, not peer-reviewed literature. Elemimele (talk) 11:57, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article seems to cite very, very few reliable sources. In fact, most of its references are self-published sources, such as the subject's LinkedIn profile and many documents uploaded to the subject's personal website. The excessive detail and sole focus on the accomplishments of the subject also makes me feel like it's advertising—the bulleted list of degrees right at the top certainly doesn't help.

As such, I don't feel like this article really fulfills notability guidelines for people, per WP:BIO. I tried looking up some other, more reliable , or even just secondary sources on this subject, and I didn't see any. The subject does not seem to fulfill any of the criteria of WP:NACADEMIC, and certainly just running for delegate once and serving on the Howard County Board of Appeals (a board not even mentioned in any other Wikipedia article) does not qualify this article for notability per WP:NPOL. In general, while I don't have anyway of knowing this, it feels very much like this was written by the subject of the article or someone very close to the subject.

User:Dawkin_Verbier also mentioned similar problems on this article's talk page, including its promotional tone, detail, and use of unreliable sources. Also, I'm not sure it was about the same person, but back in 2007, there was a "James P. Howard" that was speedy deleted for lack of notability.

Keep — Notability is well-established; article needs cleanup, not deletion

James P. Howard II clearly meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for academics and public figures. His academic output includes several books with reputable publishers, such as two editions of the Handbook of Military and Defense Operations Research (2020, 2024), Computational Methods for Numerical Analysis with R (2017), and Socioeconomic Effects of the National Flood Insurance Program (2016). These are not minor self-published works, but peer-reviewed or editorially curated volumes from recognized presses, reflecting substantial scholarly engagement.

His published research spans topics such as phonetic-spelling algorithms, blockchain systems, and cybersecurity, appearing in venues like IEEE Security & Privacy and the Journal of Statistical Software. This demonstrates consistent contribution to his fields. Additionally, he has received multiple fellowships from professional bodies, including the British Computer Society (FBCS, 2020), the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (FIMA, 2022), and the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (FSA Scot, 2025). These are not merely affiliations; they represent peer-recognized standing.

That said, the current state of the article is suboptimal. A recent change transformed the education section into a list-heavy format, likely intended to support inclusion on the perpetual student page. This is not encyclopedic in tone and should be rewritten into a more integrated narrative. Moreover, some biographical material appears to have been removed, reducing clarity and context. These are content and formatting issues, not grounds for deletion. Columbia21044 (talk) 20:05, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - reads like a puff piece, without much substantial content. From what I can tell, he's a low-level politician who has taught a few classes and written a few books. Clearly fails WP:NPOL, and does not seem to pass WP:NPROF or WP:AUTHOR either. There might be some saving grace combining everything under WP:GNG, but unless there are some unmentioned major awards or heaps of RS praise for his writing or teaching, I can't find it. - Adolphus79 (talk) 20:27, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:NACADEMIC, the receipt of selective fellowships from major professional societies is sufficient to establish notability. Howard is a Fellow of the British Computer Society, the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, and others. These honors are selective, peer-reviewed, and meet criterion #3 under the guideline. That alone satisfies the notability threshold, regardless of whether WP:NPOL or WP:AUTHOR applies. Columbia21044 (talk) 20:40, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You forgot the second part of that sentence on WP:NACADEMIC, "as substantiated through reliable sources"... that section is completely unsourced, do you have reliable sources to prove his fellowship(s)? - Adolphus79 (talk) 20:49, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The subject is listed in the public membership directory of the British Computer Society (BCS), which is available at: https://www.bcs.org/membership-and-registrations/register-of-bcs-members/

He also appears in the public list of Fellows of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (FSA Scot), viewable at: https://fellows.socantscot.org/members-directory/fellows-public-list/?ind=u&mf=0%3Djames%261%3Dhoward

The third fellowship, with the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA), does not appear to have a public register. However, the subject's FIMA designation is also referenced within the FSAScot entry, which provides indirect verification from a recognized independent source.

Delete. I am very, very sceptical that any of the fellowships referenced above are enough to meet WP:NPROF#C3. C3 is for fellowships that are reserved as highly selective honours for experts in a field, which are generally elected positions that are limited to a certain percentage of the organisation's membership. It doesn't apply to organisations that have a general membership tier that they call "Fellows". Going through each of them:
- Fellows of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland - a quote from the president on their website says "Becoming a Fellow is not an onerous task. It’s not for experts. It’s for people to develop their interests and anyone who’s got an interest or a passion for the past is welcome to join and the process of becoming a Fellow is relatively straightforward."
- Fellows of the British Computer Society - has some basic criteria, but appears to just be a paid tier of membership that does not meet the standard of being a highly selective honour.
- Fellows of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications - again, has some basic criteria, but is just a tier of membership.
- Fellows of the Cybernetics Society - again, just a tier of membership. The title that they reserve as a highly selective honour is Honorary Fellow
- Senior member of the IEEE - multiple AfDs have found that this is not sufficient to meet NPROF#C3, e.g. see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bin Xie (researcher)

I'd also note that it would also be utterly extraordinary for someone to meet the NPROF standard of making a highly impactful scholarly contribution in such a diverse set of fields. This set of "fellowships" in five extremely different fields and the long list of degrees (2 undergrads, 5 masters and a PhD) makes it pretty obvious that this is someone looking for postnominals to put after their name, not someone who is a distinguished scholar in any particular field. MCE89 (talk) 04:36, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the IEEE content, due to there being no James Howard listed in their membership at https://services27.ieee.org/fellowsdirectory/keywordsearch.html?keyword=Howard - Adolphus79 (talk) 15:38, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Both the BCS and IMA fellowships are selective, peer-reviewed distinctions, not paid membership tiers. **FBCS** requires nomination by two current Fellows, evidence of sustained leadership or impact in computing, and approval by the Membership Committee. The process is detailed in a 27-page official guidance document: https://www.bcs.org/media/4b1nq0dg/bcs-fellow-application-guidance.pdf **FIMA** similarly involves nomination and review by committee, with requirements for distinguished achievement in mathematics or its applications: https://ima.org.uk/membership/fellow-membership/

These are evaluated honors conferred through formal peer review. This level of selectivity clearly meets, if not exceeds, the threshold set by WP:NACADEMIC #3. If that is not sufficient in the eyes of some editors, it is difficult to see what would ever qualify under that criterion, or why the criterion even exists. Columbia21044 (talk) 16:58, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That BCS fellowship guidance says that their standard for "research" is met if a person is a co-author of a publication that has been cited all of three times (p. 14). That's nothing.

Your link for the IMA fellowship is broken. According to their website, they're looking for several years of respectable work and a letter from the applicant's boss. That's a far cry from any of the examples given in the academic notability guideline. Stepwise Continuous Dysfunction (talk) 17:22, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I went through the article checking the sources. There are many claims about acknowledgement of his work, but the sources quoted only make minor reference to it. The text is thus quite inappropriate at the very least, and I have added some inline tags. Beyond that his citations are modest with no major prizes so he is some distance from passing WP:NPROF, and there is nothing that comes close for any notability criteria.Ldm1954 (talk) 09:18, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your detailed feedback and for highlighting the areas requiring improvement. In response, I have made substantive revisions aimed at addressing the concerns you raised, specifically regarding notability, sourcing, and editorial tone.

I have significantly expanded and improved the reference base throughout the article. Not only are there now more independent and reliable secondary sources, but these also include peer-reviewed Nature journal articles and major policy documents that discuss or cite Bojić’s work—particularly on large language models and the “CERN for AI” concept. This is intended to more clearly demonstrate that his contributions have been independently recognized in both academic and policy forums, with attention to WP:NPROF and WP:GNG criteria.

Where previous references overstated the subject’s recognition, I have revised the language for neutrality and accuracy. “Acknowledgement” claims have been replaced with verified citations, and a [dubious] tag remains where appropriate for transparency. Direct quotations from new policy briefs and reputable news sources have been incorporated to highlight independent uptake or discussion of Bojić’s ideas, such as in the context of EU deliberations.

Bojić’s institutional roles are now fully cited, including links to the AI Institute of Serbia’s events and the Serbian Government’s official registry of researchers, directly confirming his affiliations.

- Claims relating to his involvement with UNEP foresight initiatives are now supported by official UN documentation.

- Biographical details about family members now cite Wikipedia articles in Serbian, as per cross-referenced WP:BLP policies.

I hope these improvements address previous concerns. I believe the article now meets WP:N, WP:V, and WP:PROF standards, and I respectfully suggest that retention is currently warranted. I welcome any further suggestions or requests for evidence. Devetakapija (talk) 08:28, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – In response to the points raised:

Thank you all for the careful scrutiny and the specific feedback provided above. I would like to summarize the recent improvements to the article and how these revisions address the policies cited by participants (WP:GNG, WP:NPROF, and COI concerns):

1. Addressing WP:GNG/WP:NPROF: Several reliable, independent secondary sources have been added that reference the subject’s work beyond mere self-publication or routine teaching roles:

The Edinburgh Companion to the New European Humanities – a scholarly monograph, discusses the subject’s pioneering multidisciplinary approach to the digital humanities. This is an independent, non-trivial coverage in a reliable source (see NPROF C2).
Multiple peer-reviewed articles about LLM assessment, artificial consciousness, and pragmatics, have cited the subject’s research (including recent citations in Psychology Today and Scieniast). This constitutes some recognition by the academic community (relevant for NPROF C3).
Policy documents (including a Horizon TwON project brief and an interview in Research Professional News (Clarivate)) independently mention the subject by name and reference specific contributions (i.e., the CERN for AI initiative). These references go beyond passing mention, as the policy brief specifically discusses the relevance of Bojić’s research and recommendations in context.
The European Commission's 2025 AI investment initiative, while not naming Bojić personally, closely aligns with models discussed in his work, indicating potential notability through significant indirect influence.
Participation in global initiatives (e.g. UNEP foresight projects) is now credibly cited via official and independent documentation.

2. Reference Improvements: All references were carefully reviewed. The article now takes care to distinguish between brief citations/mentions and deeper discussion. Any previous overstatements have been toned down to match the actual significance of cited coverage, per WP:NPOV and WP:V.

3. Modest Citations and Awards: While it is accurate that subject does not hold major international prizes, NPROF does not require awards per se: it also allows notability to be demonstrated through significant coverage/impact in reliable sources, including peer recognition and applied policy impact. The above sources show the subject’s influence on current research and policy.

4. Possible COI: I acknowledge concerns about single-purpose/COI contributions. The improvements made draw on independent, third-party sources, and I encourage further independent edits/corrections from uninvolved editors to ensure neutrality. I do not have a conflict of interest beyond a desire to ensure coverage is accurate and policy-compliant.

5. Sorting Lists: Thank you for adding the article to appropriate deletion sorting lists. This invites needed community input.

Happy to address further tagging or clarify any remaining issues with sources or content.

Your statement that "The European Commission's 2025 AI investment initiative, while not naming Bojić personally, closely aligns with models discussed in his work, indicating potential notability through significant indirect influence" shows how far you're having to stretch to try to demonstrate notability. I've removed the sentence about this from the article as original research, given that it doesn't mention the subject or his work. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:55, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Crodless Larry, thank you for your effort and guidance. I understand why you deleted this. I understand but I do not agree, as I think it would be useful not because of Bojic's notability, but because of creating informative article. But let's put that aside. The fact that Bojic was the first person to introduce that term "CERN for AI" in scientific discourse is the notable enough, at least in my view. If you are looking for notablity I think there are additional infos now in the Recognition section. Devetakapija (talk) 13:08, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The citation figures are paltry, and every other argument for notability is even more of a stretch. The Psychology Today item, for example, is a vacuous listicle that doesn't even mention Bojic by name. Stepwise Continuous Dysfunction (talk) 17:06, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Psychology Today item cites important scientific paper published by Bojic as primary author and collegues. They do it as the first point:

Here are my 25 intuitive, nonscientific, and entirely subjective predictions for 2025:

As AI becomes more powerful, growing in autonomy and perhaps even showing signs of sentience, we’re bound to become humbler.

Sentience is linked to Bojic's paper. Maybe I am wrong, but for science, it is important to cite work of scientist and not nessearly mention his or her name.

See here:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-romance-of-work/202501/25-ways-ai-will-change-how-we-think-and-feel-in-2025

On the other hand Scieniast is legitimate sceince portal, the most influential in Netherlands, that did an interview with Bojic about that very paper. In that article, Bojic name is mentioned and he is interviewed. See here: https://scientias.nl/chatbots-hebben-verschillende-karakters-de-ene-is-manipulatiever-dan-de-andere/

The same goes for another policy portal which is highly regarded, just that without subscription of login one cannot see article.

I just found important mention of Bojic's work in which his name is mentioned as well, not only link to his scientific paper (which I think is enough):

Bojic's research on the regulatory challenges of the metaverse has been cited by The Regulatory Review.[22] Summarizing his 2022 article, the publication notes Bojic argues that, since laws and policies tend to follow rather than precede technological developments, major technology companies have significant influence over identity, ideology, and truth in the metaverse. According to Bojic, this regulatory gap raises concerns over issues such as ownership, democratization, and the amplification of social problems like hate speech, racism, and sexism within digital environments.

Here is the link that [22] points towards

https://www.theregreview.org/2023/01/07/saturday-seminar-regulating-the-metaverse/

Also as you may have noticed, I previosly added to the article that Bojic was mentioned in The Edinburgh Companion to the New European Humanities as the founder of a new multidisciplinary approach that uses digital tools to inquire into the humanities. The book is open access and it can be seen here:

Most of these are just citations, which don't belong in "recognition" section, which should cover major awards, prizes, etc., not be a blow-by-blow account of each time someone's work in cited in another publication. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:26, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Devetakapija, unfortunately you are misinterpreting what is needed for Wikipedia:Notability (academics). All academics who publish papers get some citations, just being referenced by itself does not make someone notable. Please be aware that postdocs and junior scientists such as starting associate professors also get referenced in papers, but are rarely considered as notable. What is needed is significant numbers of citations by peers, this indicates that the community has decided that the work is important. While this depends upon area, typically we look for something like an h-factor of 40, and several thousand total citations, for instance > 5,000. He has an h-index of 15, and 954 total citations as of today. He has one paper with 234 cites which is a good start, but the rest are below 80. A really impactful paper has more than 1,000 cites.

In the same fashion, we look for major awards as indicators that his peers consider his work to be notable.

Note: in all of this we are looking for unbiased indicators. It does not matter what you or I think of his work, others have to independently and verifiably have found it to be notable. Ldm1954 (talk) 22:43, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but those citations are not from scientific publications. The citations that I brought there were mentions of his name by the important book as the founder of a new direction in humanities. Also, the mentions of him are by policy publications su as the Regulatory Review (University of Pennsilvania). So this is more about quality than quantity. Espcially in humanities the number of citations is not so high, the field is like that but this is not taken into account by you. I think this should be changed. Also the important concept CERN for AI is introduced by him. Thus, I repeat again the reason is quality, not quantity. Please take this into consideration. Devetakapija (talk) 12:38, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"CERN for AI" is not an important concept. Stepwise Continuous Dysfunction (talk) 23:16, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Having reviewed the latest revision, I believe this article now clearly establishes notability in line with Wikipedia standards. Dr. Bojić’s work is referenced not just in academic publications, but also in significant policy documents and reputable news outlets, demonstrating wide recognition and impact. The improved sourcing shifts the article well beyond promotional material, showing independent discussion of his research and policy ideas—especially notable in the context of EU AI policy debates. While he may not have major prizes, the depth and quality of coverage indicate his influence in the field is more than routine. The main concerns about sourcing and editorial tone seem to be addressed, with new references and more neutral language. As such, keeping this article is appropriate, provided it continues to receive regular scrutiny and refinement from independent editors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sara dragisic (talk • contribs) 10:51, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article seems to be entirely about academic activities so we should consider this according to WP:PROF or WP:AUTHOR. Local coverage of his public outreach activities does not amount to WP:PROF#C7 notability. His assistant professor position is not promising and Google Scholar could not even find his publications, at least one of which appears to be in a local historical society newsletter rather than a peer-reviewed journal. The article does not even mention the existence of books so WP:AUTHOR is out of reach. Very far from notable. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:57, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as an essentially unreferenced BLP, too old to draftify. The external link to her faculty profile sources only her present position, and I suppose if we had evidence of WP:PROF notability we could use it to source a one-line sub-stub about her, but although she has some well-cited works there are not enough to make me willing to advocate for that outcome. The other path to notability would be through WP:AUTHOR and through published reviews of her books, which if they existed should also be usable to replace the unsourced biographical material with content about those books. But all I found was a review of one edited volume (doi:10.18261/ISSN.0805-9535-2018-04-07), not enough for notability that way. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:23, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merely having published books, of which there are thousands every year, isn't by itself an indicator of having "made a significant impact in the area of higher education". Are those books the standard texts for courses taught at many schools? Are they known by their authors' names, the way that every physics graduate student knows that Jackson is Classical Electrodynamics?

WP:BLP of a local historian, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for historians. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they have or had jobs, and have to be shown to pass certain defined notability criteria supported by WP:GNG-worthy reliable source coverage about their work in media and/or books -- but this is referenced entirely to primary source content self-published by non-media organizations she was directly affiliated with, and shows absolutely no evidence of GNG-worthy sourcing at all. (For example, people do not become notable enough for Wikipedia articles by having staff profiles on the websites of their own employers, or contributor directories on the websites of publications that they wrote for — media unaffiliated with her work have to write about and analyze the significance of her work as news to make her notable on that basis.)
As her potential claim of notability is primarily local in nature rather than national, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with better access to the necessary resources than I've got can actually find sufficient RS coverage to get her over the bar, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have significantly better referencing than this.

- Comment: She did win awards, including a state-wide award for her work. WP:Author doesn't require national accomplishments. One might make the case that winning an award from the state's primary historical society might be "significant critical attention"? --
Jaireeodell (talk) 21:24, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say people always have to have nationalized accomplishments to be eligible for an article — I said that because her notability claim is local rather than national in nature, I lack access to the kind of resources necessary to determine whether the article is salvageable with better referencing or not on my own, without bringing it to wider attention. People can get into Wikipedia on primarily local significance — but regardless of whether their notability claim is local or national in scope, people aren't exempted from having to have WP:GNG-worthy reliable sourcing.
Also, every award that exists does not constitute an automatic notability freebie — a person is not automatically notable just because the article has the word "award" in it, if the article doesn't have GNG-worthy reliable sourcing in it. "Significant critical attention", for the purposes of GNG, is a question of whether she's had news reportage and/or books written about her and her work, not just the fact of having been singled out for just any old award that exists — an award might help if it could be referenced to a newspaper article treating "Shirley Willard wins award" as news, but it doesn't help if you have to depend on content self-published by the organization that gave her the award to source the statement because media coverage about the award doesn't exist. We're not just looking for "has done stuff", we're looking for "has had media coverage and/or books written and published about the stuff she did". Bearcat (talk) 16:25, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wonderful woman, no doubt, but I simply cannot find any of her writings that aren't "self-published" - i.e. by the historical society she was working with in some capacity. She did get two awards from the Indiana Historical Society, but I don't think that is going to confirm notability. She is given credit for unearthing the story of this "Trail of Death" but I only find a very few mentions of it by folks not directly associated with the historical society. Lamona (talk) 16:11, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just asking for clarification on what you are asking for here- are you asking for the historical veracity of the Potawatomi Trail of Death? If so, there is already a Wikipedia article discussing its history. I am not writing that she was responsible for discovering it, she is just a historian who has taken important steps to preserve its memory in local history. Willard is responsible for the Trail of Courage festival and commemorative caravan, if that's what you meant. Here are some mentions of the Trail of Living Courage Festival and caravan from sources not associated with Willard or the Fulton County Historical Society:

https://www.dar.org/national-society/american-spirit-magazine/beacon-history-shirley-willard (Page dedicated to her on the Daughters of the American Revolution website, already in article)

https://www.southbendtribune.com/story/news/local/2018/09/13/caravan-to-trace-potawatomi-trail-of-death-from-rochester/45724091/ (News article about about Trail of Death commemorative caravan Willard organized)

https://www.in.gov/ibc/legacyprojects/3261.htm (entry on Indiana government website about the festival, already in article)

If these sources are satisfactory, I can start reworking the article around these and replace the Fulton Co. Historical Society ones. DeishaJ (talk) 14:22, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I will look at these sources, but, no, I'm not asking about the trail of death. This article is about HER so we need sources about HER. Lamona (talk) 15:23, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some additional sources I've found:

https://www.carrollcountycomet.com/articles/historian-recognized-with-statewide-award/ (News article referencing her Lifetime Achievement award. I have contacted the Indiana Historical Society to see if they have any writings or press releases on her that would work as citations).

https://www.rochsent.com/willard-featured-on-publishers-blog/article_1ec925d0-4190-541b-9020-c01655ba74d8.html (Lists her history and achievements with the Fulton Co. Historical Society. Also mentions her Lifetime Achievement award and Golden Hoosier award, mentions her being a torch bearer in the Indiana Bicentennial Torch Relay. I have confirmed her participation, she is listed here under Fulton County. Link to the page of the Indiana government website I found the PDF on.

Additional sources for consideration:

https://www.potawatomi.org/blog/2016/09/28/chairman-barrett-honored-at-2016-trail-of-courage-festival/

https://www.potawatomi.org/blog/2017/06/27/indiana-declares-indian-day/

I will let others decide if these sources are good enough to work in this article, as they are technically blog posts. I will argue, though, that they are from the official Potawatomi tribe website. These sources mention Willard playing a key role in securing proclamations from Mike Pence and Eric Holcomb in recognition of the Trail of Death and establishing remembrance/heritage days. These might be notable additions to her article, but I am unsure if they would meet proper reference criteria. Is there any way to find good sources for these proclamations:

Mike Pence declaring Sept. 20, 2014 Potawatomi Trail of Death Remembrance Day

Eric Holcomb declaring April 22, 2017 Indiana Indian Day

Generally, blog posts are not considered reliable because they are informal and lack a true editorial oversight. The DAR one is pretty good but may not be considered independent because she was a member of DAR and this is a "member profile." Press releases are never considered reliable sources because they are by definition promotional, and thus have a non-neutral point of view. I hope that others will weigh in on the awards.

Keep I would appreciate help to make this article more solid. I'm still learning. Case Lawrence is a very influential figure in Utah business and politics. I have not been paid to make edits on this article. I moved article to the mainspace because I didn't know it had to wait to be reviewed. I understand if it must be deleted. I would appreciate any advice on how to keep pages up. Madlaiscott (talk) 10:49, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the article, I think you've done a good job of keeping things focused on the subject. (And no, there is no rule that you need approval or a draft process to move to mainspace, but you should probably know that doing so against a review is likely to attract an AfD). My advice is to find the ten least significant facts/links in the article (especially those that are not particularly important and are about SkyZone/CircusTrix and not Lawrence) and remove them -- the article looks like someone is trying to make a minor business person seem important by bombarding the reader with lots of tiny assertions of notability instead of focusing on the 5 or 6 sources that actually confirm his notability. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 13:47, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep by WP:GNG for multiple independent sources covering him as an influential business figure (in addition to, and of course in part because of, his success in the trampoline world). There are headline stories about him in Deseret News, a significant news publisher, and Utah Business (which seems to be from the same company but independent editorials) and, also among less significant news sources, the Utah Valley University review and the BYU Marriott Business School review. The first Inc. story is largely about Lawrence's success in addition to the company's success as is the Sacramento Bee story (the LA Times story is about the company and doesn't mention Lawrence directly). Would not pass WP:NPOL or WP:PROF, but only one notability guideline needs to be passed and the amount of news about Lawrence himself is enough to pursuade me to !vote Keep. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 13:42, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. The coverage of CircusTrix seems to have passing mentions of the subject here, at best. Most of the other sources are not independent. The best case for notability is the Utah coverage of the failed candidacy, but I am skeptical that that adds up to a pass of GNG. Might be a case of WP:TOOSOON.

Kevin McGarry (actor)

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

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of an actor, not properly referenced as passing WP:NACTOR. As always, actors are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they've had acting roles -- the notability test doesn't reside in listing acting roles, it resides in the quality and depth and volume of WP:GNG-worthy reliable source coverage that can be shown about him and his performances to support the article with.
But this is referenced principally to directory entries, podcast interviews, one of those garbage "celebrity net worth" PR profiles and content on the self-published production website of the show that constitutes his most potentially notable role, none of which is support for notability at all.
What there is for proper media coverage is one People magazine article that's focusing on his wedding rather than on the significance of his acting, an article in Us Weekly (which per WP:RSP is considered less reliable than People, and thus doesn't count as a strong GNG builder) that's doing the exact same thing, and a piece of "local guy does stuff" in the community news hyperlocal of his own hometown -- which doesn't add up to enough coverage to get him over GNG by itself if the article's sourcing is 85 per cent unreliable junk otherwise.
Just having been in television shows and films is not an automatic notability freebie without significantly better sourcing than this. Also there may be a WP:COI here, as the article was created by an WP:SPA with no history of contributing on any other topic. Bearcat (talk) 14:27, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AfDs for this article:

Was nominated for deletion by Bearcat, part of their rationale was, "WP:BLP of a media entrepreneur, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for media figures. As always, founders of television channels are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on their sourceability -- but this is referenced entirely to a mixture of primary sources and glancing namechecks of the subject's existence in coverage about other things, with no evidence shown at all of any GNG-worthy coverage with him as its subject." Although re-written, this still applies. The second part of Bearcat's rationale dealt with COI editing, which has only been exacerbated by the most recent edits of a blatant COI/UPE editor.

Keep – This subject meets the criteria of WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Youssef El Deeb is not simply a "founder"; he is a significant media figure in the Arab world. His creation of Fatafeat TV — later acquired by Discovery — is a landmark event in Arab media, widely covered in **independent** and **reliable** sources such as *Deadline*, *The Hollywood Reporter*, and *BroadcastPro ME* (not primary or promotional outlets).
He also held senior executive roles at MBC and Rotana, and his creative work in film and TV has been recognized with awards — further reinforcing his notability under WP:CREATIVE and WP:ENT.
The current version of the article uses multiple **independent** and **significant** sources that focus on El Deeb himself, not just passing mentions. This satisfies the sourcing standard under GNG.
The deletion rationale cites past versions, but the article has been substantially rewritten and resourced. The presence of COI/UPE concerns is not, in itself, grounds for deletion — per WP:NOTCLEAN, what matters is whether the article **now** meets policy. It does.
Editors are welcome to continue improving neutrality or trimming promotional tone, but deletion would discard verifiable coverage of a genuinely notable figure in Arab media.

The subject is a non-notable actress and model who has made only minor appearances in films and music videos. The "Filmography" section is misleading, as she did not have a lead role in Kesari Veer. The article relies mainly on primary sources, mentions, interviews, and WP:NEWSORGINDIA and lacks WP:SIGCOV coverage.

Concerns include potential manipulation of her date of birth, with primary source citations (e.g., Instagram) contradicting verifiable information, such as her being 20 in 2016 during India's Next Top Model season 2. The article may be affected by COI/UPE and violates WP:TOOSOON.

What about it? I've added a few secondary sources to the page. Also 1) I've added a source indicating she plays one of the four main characters in Kesari Veer (and see Leading actor) and the filmography can hardly be described as "misleading". 2) A page cannot "violate" WP:TOOSOON, which is an essay, not a policy but, most of all, citing that essay may have been useful back in 2017 but certainly not today, as she has now an already notable acting career 3) Stating that she has "made only minor appearances in films" is totally inaccurate, for that matter.

Even if that assessment was correct, she still would pass Wikipedia:NACTRESS. And please note that WP:BASIC indicates that "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" (the different reviews in reliable sources of the 3 films she had lead roles in mention her performances with critical assessment and those mentions, some being brief, cannot be considered trivial nor passing mentions).

Keep per WP:NACTRESS. What secondary sources are you looking for, reviews suffice. The 2 interviews should be considered for sourcing since they are not the bulk of the sourcing.

Interviews are primary sources and therefore unreliable for supporting claims in articles. While interviews can be used to establish that an interviewee made a particular statement, they are not considered reliable for verifying the accuracy of those statements. For example, this actress lied about her age in one of her Instagram posts, and later that post was used as a reference to manipulate the date of birth on Wikipedia. See wp:IV

There are reviews of the movies as citations but none of them can really provide in-depth reporting. See Wp:SIGCOV.

Keep. Meets notability criteria per WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. She has acted in films across major Indian language industries (Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada), with roles that received individual mention in professional reviews. The Times of India described her as "bold and glamorous," while The New Indian Express and Cinema Express included her debut in their critiques. In addition to her film roles, she has appeared in high-profile music videos performed by prominent artists like Badshah, Tiger Shroff, and Harrdy Sandhu — each of which has received notable media attention. Her modeling background, including participation in India’s Next Top Model, further supports a career with sustained media visibility. I think reliable sources, both mainstream and entertainment-specific, provide significant coverage of her career, satisfying the general notability guideline.

keep as a stub or delete the redirect. I am of course familiar with Shane Jacobson, and have several of his films in my library, so when I stumbled on the name "Shane Jacobsen", unlinked, in an article on an unfamiliar film I was surprised. I linked it without saving, to see where it would lead, and found to my surprise that it led to the Australian actor. Not impossible, as many Aussie actors have found their way into American films. Off to IMDb, where Shane Jacobsen of New Orleans is mentioned as appearing in three or four movies, two having WP listings and, quite properly, neither one linked. How much time did I waste? Two minutes tops. Had it confused anyone else? Maybe not. Would someone turning those unlinked "Shane Jacobsen"s blue reduce Wikipedia's usefulness ? Absolutely. The beauty of this solution is the hatnote. Anyone looking for either person by that name gets what they want.
- We cannot keep it because he is not notable.

Redirect: To Shane Jacobson. The person who made the existing redirect into a stub first initially made a stub worthy of BLPPROD. Took me two reverts explaining in the edit summary why this is a bad thing to prompt them to make an actual stub, albeit still unsourced for the time being. This was good enough for me. Now that the stub is in AFD now, I'll be truly honest. Even after a source got added by another editor, I just don't see how this actor meets NACTOR, he's just too obscure of an actor. Plus that Shane Jacobsen is a valid misspelling of Shane Jacobson. Yelps ᘛ⁠⁐̤⁠ᕐ⁠ᐷ critique me 15:31, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- I think you're discounting the words "may be considered notable" (my emphasis). Unless my searching is completely off-base, I can find no reliable sources that I would think meet the criteria set at GNG.
- Setting that fundamental problem aside, nearly all of Murnik's roles have been of the minor variety; Granite Flats is the exception. For example, I was surprised to see Vanishing Point in that list. His role was evidently so minor that he isn't named a single time in the (lengthy) Wikipedia plot summary, nor is he one of the six characters called out in Variety's review (the prose, not the cast list). Ed ^{[talk] [OMT]} 07:08, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  Even if your assessment was correct, that would leave us with 3 significant (not minor) roles, at least, which, despite your nomination statement, would be enough for WP:NACTOR#1, and prolific contributions, which corresponds to WP:NACTOR#2. As for GNG vs NACTOR, your own rationale indicates whether that's WP:GNG or WP:NACTOR, so that it seems you consider (and rightly so) it is enough for a subject to meet the requirements of one of the guidelines, not both.

Delete He is a working actor, but I don't find any reasonable sources (lots of show fan sites and movie mags, but in which he is essentially name-checked). (This still needs to satisfy BLP.) Although he has had many roles they are mostly had minor roles ("patrolman"), or roles in one or two episodes of a TV series. He had ongoing roles in Granite Flats and Justified. However, it's hard to see these as "significant" as he was no where near starring, he does not seem to have anything significant published about him, has not won or been nominated for awards (compare him to Walton Goggins on Justified, who was nominated for supporting actor), and he hasn't made "innovative contributions...

Comment: I'm not finding anything - most of his roles are smaller and less likely to gain mention in sourcing. I was trying to find coverage for his theatrical performances, but I'm not finding much there either. With the awards, it looks like those were "best film" type awards for movies he produced. However the issue with awards as producer is that it's harder to establish their role in the production. Some producers are extremely involved and important to the final product, whereas others aren't really "hands on" with the production outside of funding and initial work. Of course then we have to look at whether or not the awards are notable enough to meet NCREATIVE/NACTOR either partially (count towards but not enough on its own to keep) or fully (enough on its own). I've always thought a good rule of thumb is to see if the awards website lists the producer. If so, then it could be usable (assuming the award is notable), if not it likely isn't.

In any case, with the awards, two of them are known vanity awards (Accolade Competition, Impact Docs Award). Nashville Film Festival and the Beverly Hill Film Festival look like wins from them would probably be usable. Tacoma Film Festival is smaller, but probably OK. The other wins are questionable as far as notability goes and the others are nominations so it's irrelevant whether they are notable or not - none of them are at the level where a nomination would be considered noteworthy. That's limited to things like the Oscars.

I guess the question here is whether or not his producing role was large enough for him to inherit notability from the movies in a similar way that one would as an actor or director. Executive producer credits would probably count, but the generic producer credit is where there's pause. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 12:46, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I found a couple of theater reviews. Only three though, which is technically enough I guess to pass NACTOR. I think between that and the kind of nebulous producer notability, that might be enough to keep. I'm not 100% so I am not making an argument for or against at the moment.

What info would you like from me? Emmett James film Life and Larry Brown was short listed for an Academy Award. He has produced a ton of films that are on Netflix, amazon and Hulu where he is the main producer. He is one of the heads of the producers guild of America for documentaries. He does conventions around the world for his acting credits including TITANIC and has appeared as a guest speak at comic con in San Diego for Star Wars. Im a little confused to why this is even a discussion to be honest Savinghollywood (talk) 00:27, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

With the nomination, that would really only help if he was on the final ballot. Normally being nominated (but not winning) would not help count towards notability at all, however the Academy Award is kind of the pinnacle of things one can be nominated for with films in the US. At the same time, being shortlisted doesn't mean that someone ended up on the final ballot. Even then it kind of goes back to the issue of establishing notability for producers. Honestly, most producers tend to end up failing NCREATIVE, regardless of how successful they are. It's just really difficult to argue for notability for them.

What would really be useful here is coverage of James or coverage of the work that gives some detail on him. For his acting roles (including stage), reviews of the work that specifically mention him would be as good as gold. With the notable films and shows, those roles are only as notable as the mention he receives in reviews and independent, reliable, secondary coverage of the episode or film. Many of his roles were background or minor, which typically don't get much coverage. He does seem to have been in a few episodes of some anime, but I'll be honest in that establishing notability for VAs is insanely difficult. I remember trying to argue notability for someone who voiced multiple main characters in several large, notable series. It was insanely difficult, because people usually don't highlight specific VAs - even the anime outlets are bad at that. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 00:00, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK- found the VA I was mentioning. What I participated in wasn't an AfD (although she had been brought to AfD and deleted in the past due to a lack of sourcing), but it was as good as one. It was Brianne Siddall. Her notability is established now, but it was extremely difficult to accomplish this despite her voicing major characters in some pretty iconic anime like Outlaw Star. I don't mean to derail the AfD, I just wanted to emphasize how difficult it can be to establish notability. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 15:13, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Has had some minor roles; has been producer on minor films. I don't find any source that is about him. The good sources here are name checks, and a one sentence "review". Lamona (talk) 16:03, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
By the reviews, do you mean the ones for the theater productions? With that, the reviews for the productions are pretty meaty. One specifically highlights James - Variety doesn't explicitly mention him in the review body (they do mention the gang, which James portrays a member of), but it was a small production. For the other production, the LA Times review is also pretty lengthy and also specifically mentions him as well.

If you are referring to the LA Times review of "Uncomfortable Family Ties" that is the one with all of 2 sentences about him, and that's the most that I have found. If you are referring to something else, I've missed it and need a reminder. Thanks. Lamona (talk) 04:12, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I want to be clear that I'm not exactly arguing for a keep, just that the reviews are in-depth and when he is actually mentioned by name in the review there's mention of his performance quality. However if we discard the Variety source I am aware that these are two reviews by the same paper. I was hoping that Savinghollywood would have access to other theater reviews that are of similar depth and reliability. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 19:21, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not one of these is about him; some just "name check" him in the list of producers; some don't even mention him. There is one 2-sentence "review" in the LA Times: Emmett James is remarkably convincing as Tom. His manner and wails remain so consistent that when he speaks as part of the discords it is startling.

Nisar Rahmath

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

This article was previously moved to draft space due to concerns about notability and insufficient coverage in reliable, independent sources. I reviewed the draft and declined it for lacking significant coverage to meet the general notability guideline (GNG). However, the creator has since moved it back to mainspace without addressing the sourcing concerns. While the subject has received an award, I believe it is not sufficient on its own to establish notability without substantial independent coverage. I'm bringing this to AfD so that other editors can review the article and share their opinions on whether it meets Wikipedia's notability standards. Afstromen (talk) 16:37, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Nisar Rahmath received the Kerala State Film Award for Best Costume Designer, an official and notable recognition by a government cultural body. The article is supported by coverage in reliable and independent sources, including a feature profile in Deccan Chronicle and an interview in Manorama Online, both of which discuss his background, career, and achievements in detail.

Abhimanyu Shammi Thilakan

Fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. No significant coverage and most sources are non-bylined churnalism, mentions, or otherwise unreliable. Previously deleted A7 and G11 under Abhimanyu S Thilakan. CNMall41 (talk) 04:42, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: A case of TOOSOON. Sources are not enough to establish notability and the career is unable to pass Wp:NACTOR as well. Redirect to Marco (2024 film) is also a good idea. Zuck28 (talk) 06:47, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep despite the earlier deletion. The coverage of his death seems to just barely qualify him. Pinging Zuck28 who added Pandey to the List of Bhojpuri actors in January. TheDeafWikipedian (talk) 20:36, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that the nominator has a very low understanding of the Wikipedia guidelines. They’re just nominating random articles created by me as an act of retaliation because I nominated a few of the articles they created about non-notable subjects. Their rationale for the AFD is unclear as, why they believe it should be deleted, anyways I leave this matter for fellow editors.

Thank you for pinging me.

Delete Non notable actor, Mentions, unreliable sources. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. CresiaBilli (talk) 11:29, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How come you decided that the subject is non-notable, given his filmography he easily passes Wp:NACTOR. And all the given sources are reliable sources, kindly let me know which source is unreliable? Zuck28 (talk) 07:25, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep There is a lot of coverage of his death. Searching on his name in Devanagari (सुदीप पांडे), I also find some coverage of his films prior to his death, particularly V for Victor, which could be added to the article. RebeccaGreen (talk) 14:21, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@RebeccaGreen, Thank you for your advice. I have added some additional sources as citations and expanded the article with his political career. Can you review it again?

Zuck28 (talk) 09:17, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Improved the article. Given his acting career, which includes lead roles in more than 40 films and notable awards, he easily passes Wp:NACTOR. Given the significant amount of news coverage about his death and political career, he passes Wp:GNG and Wp:ANYBIO. speedy keep‎ per WP:SK#4.Zuck28 (talk) 06:40, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
