September 2023[edit]

  1. Athena Massey: nominated at AfD; notified Keith0603 (talk · contribs) 08:49, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Since the last AFD in 2020, she's had no new roles, apart from a minor appearance in a documentary made this year, We Kill for Love, for which she gets passing mentions in the four Google News hits for her name. This version is substantially longer, having been padded out with a lot of highly promotional fan language, and still using IMDB for about a third of its sources. I can't find SIGCOV of her in reliable sources, just a lot of mentions in film and TV credits as you can see in the cites here, and a few interviews on podcasts and YouTube. Article mentions that she was featured twice in Femme Fatales (magazine), but as the WP article notes, " It was unique in that it encouraged contributions from the actresses themselves...", and I can't see that as counting substantially toward meeting WP:NACTOR.
  2. Federal Soft Systems: nominated at AfD; notified Gaargi Puri (talk · contribs) 08:03, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unremarkable company, fails WP:CORP, sourced only by press releases and trivial coverage, and in a WP:BEFORE search I can't find any better coverage in RS.. No indication of notability for awards won.

October 2023[edit]

  1. Border Model: nominated at AfD; notified Stefantangen (talk · contribs) 05:31, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable manufacturer, doesn't meet WP:NCORP. A WP:BEFORE search in English and (machine translated) Chinese turned up only this product review from what looks like a RS. The rest are all adverts from model sellers, and a few blogs. Article currently has only one primary source from the company, plus two from vendors.
  2. Ko'asek (Co'wasuck) Traditional Band of the Sovereign Abenaki Nation: nominated at AfD; notified Ksherin (talk · contribs) 08:24, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: The Abenaki nation is obviously notable, but I can't find significant coverage from multiple secondary sources for this particular group, just routine local coverage. Most of the references aren't about this group, but about Abenaki history in New Hampshire and further afield, which could usefully be merged to Abenaki along with a paragraph on this group, but it's not yet notable enough for a separate article.
  3. Jeremy Bieber: nominated at AfD; notified Bigbrother0702 (talk · contribs) 08:58, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable relative of notable person: on Wikipedia, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. In a WP:BEFORE search, all I can find is tabloid gossip about what he might have posted to social media etc, and always in connection with his notable son, with no independent coverage whatsoever.
  4. Oh Geeez: nominated at AfD; notified NahuelFanboy2004 (talk · contribs) 10:20, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:BAND. This has bounced back and forth to draft in at least three copies that I can see, where it was declined twice for notability and poor sourcing. It would probably qualify for speedy db-band if not for the Animation World Network reference, but that's quite short, and I can't find significant coverage in reliable sources in a WP:BEFORE search.
  5. Henry Mascot: nominated at AfD; notified SeptemberGab (talk · contribs) 07:13, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:BIO: CEO of a startup, and in a WP:BEFORE search the best I could find was this interview in a RS (but interviews are a primary source) and an article about his company in TechCrunch, a source for which WP:TECHCRUNCH says "may be useful for satisfying verifiability, but may be less useful for the purpose of determining notability". None of this amounts to SIGCOV or WP:GNG.
  6. Chechclear: nominated at RfD; Target: Tukhchar massacre (notified); notified Iamozy (talk · contribs) 17:45, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Article deleted in 2007 following WP:Articles for deletion/Chechclear. Redirect recreated in 2016, with attempted expansions by anon editors ever since. It's not currently mentioned in the target article, and there are no inbound links. In a WP:BEFORE search I can't see SIGCOV in RS, and there's little realistic prospect of an article that won't go right back to AFD on grounds of notability.
  7. Jennifer Van Buskirk: nominated at AfD; notified Webmaster IISE (talk · contribs) 18:42, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:BIO. A WP:BEFORE search turned up only press releases, social media, alumni coverage from her alma maters, and an interview on Quartz [1]. Couldn't find secondary coverage about her winning the Stevie Award. Draft:Jennifer Van Buskirk was speedied G11 on 8 Oct, and the article creator is a WP:SPA, with COI evident in the edit history and the promotional photo created by article creator.

November 2023[edit]

  1. Jol Thoi Thoi Bhalobasha: nominated at AfD; notified Annh07 (talk · contribs) 11:50, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable TV series per WP:GNG. In a WP:BEFORE search in English and Bengali (জল থোই থোই ভালোবাসা), I can find only short promo pieces on the Times of India and the usual TV promo sites, verifying that the show exists, but no significant, secondary coverage. Moved to draft unsourced October 6, then recreated here unsourced by same editor.
  2. Stewart Scott (swimming coach): nominated at AfD; notified Essatki (talk · contribs) 16:01, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:NSPORT, WP:NTRIATHLON, WP:BIO or WP:GNG. In a WP:BEFORE search, all I could find was what's cited in the article now: a passing mention in Macleans, a photo credit in a Globe & Mail article, an article written by the subject, and passing mentions in two posts on Medium. The rest is social media and passing mentions in local event coverage.
  3. Leigh Kilton-Smith: nominated at AfD; notified Primativo (talk · contribs) 11:38, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Doesn't appear to meet WP:CREATIVE yet. All of the secondary sources cited, and all of the secondary RS I could find in a WP:BEFORE search, mention her only in passing. She seems to have quite a successful career, and has worked with many notable actors, but notability on Wikipedia is WP:NOTINHERITED.
  4. Central Coast Community News: nominated at AfD; notified Wikieditor3707 (talk · contribs) 13:50, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unsourced article about a local freesheet, apparently fails WP:GNG as I can't find a single secondary source about it online. Proposed deletion contested by article creator without comment.
  5. List of paintball manufacturers: nominated at AfD; notified Riverprimrose (talk · contribs) 19:31, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
  6. Naledi Mogadime: nominated at AfD; notified Thulo Bala (talk · contribs) 10:44, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Soft deleted three months ago, and nothing notable has happened in her career since. Not yet notable per WP:NACTOR or WP:ENT, with only minor roles and an also-ran in a reality TV show. No significant coverage of her online in RS, just passing mentions.
  7. Zeeshan Khan Rokhri: nominated at AfD; notified Cheetomalik4 (talk · contribs) 16:29, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not notable yet according to WP:MUSICBIO. A WP:BEFORE search in English and Urdu turned up only the four sources currently cited: three local press articles about a cancelled concert in a small venue in England, and a passing mention in an obituary of his father Shafaullah Khan Rokhri. It's been redirected to that article four times since creation in October 2022, on the grounds of poor sourcing or being completely unsourced, as it was when I ran across it today.
  8. Altaf Dadasaheb Shaikh: nominated at AfD; notified Anamika Vishwakarma 10 (talk · contribs) 09:52, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable by WP:FILMMAKER. Initial version had claims of all sort of fictitious awards, but the only one he seems to have received is for the "London Book of World Records", clearly a paid vanity award [2], [3],[4]. The only film he seems to have released so far is Veda BF, which likewise appears to fail WP:NFILM, so I'll bundle that into this deletion discussion.
  9. Carl Judie: nominated at AfD; notified Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk · contribs) 12:30, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable WP:NACTOR. In a WP:BEFORE search, all I can find on him is blogs and WP:THESUN.
  10. Richard Osborne (singer): nominated at AfD; notified DavidWatts212 (talk · contribs) 06:24, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:MUSICBIO. A WP:BEFORE search turned up only music blogs, and the local news story cited here. He's worked with a few notable musicians, but on WP, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED.
  11. Anas Hussain Rizvi: nominated at AfD; notified Saad Arshad Butt (talk · contribs) 14:56, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:NPOL or WP:BIO. In a WP:BEFORE search I can find only passing mentions of him in English, and even less in Urdu. He's from a notable political family, so maybe someday he'll get elected to office, but until then notability is WP:NOTINHERITED.
  12. Hacktivist Vanguard: nominated at AfD; notified Pplkhhb (talk · contribs) 07:21, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable per WP:ORG and WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE search turned up the same self-promotion of the three sources currently cited mostly reposts of the "force for good" manifesto, which in the initial creation had a dozen copied cited on various blogs masquerading as newspapers. It's a recently created group, and may have only one member, as "Hacktivist Vanguard" is credited only as the cinematographer of several films on its IMDb entry. The article is a near copy of Draft:Hacktivist Vanguard, created by two other SPAs. An IP editor tried to credit the group as "hacker group" in the cast sections of the two film articles linked in the See also section, but I can find no evidence of any film roles for this "group" online. It all reads like a recruitment page for a new hacktivist group.
  13. Malyagiri: nominated at AfD; notified Aditya anu (talk · contribs) 06:01, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fails WP:NFILM: released a month ago, but in a WP:BEFORE search I can't find reviews or any significant coverage in reliable sources, in English or Odia. WP:REFBOMB'd with film blog posts announcing its release, but none of them seems to know what the film is about. Proposed deletion contested without comment.
  14. FatherShops: nominated at AfD; notified KushagraBh (talk · contribs) 09:27, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable WP:CORP. A WP:BEFORE search turned nothing about them online, apart form the usual social media PR and the two week-old paid placement articles cited. Proposed deletion contested without comment by article creator.

December 2023[edit]

  1. Abu Hudhayfah Al-Ansari: nominated at AfD; notified Sam6897 (talk · contribs) 15:23, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable spokesman of a notable organisation. The very few reliable sources that mention him do so only in passing; all else I could find in a WP:BEFORE search in English and Arabic is blogs and social media chatter, and it's difficult to verify whether he actually exists. His predecessor's name is a redirect to Islamic State.
  2. Gautam Kapur: nominated at AfD; notified Laxmimadhesiya (talk · contribs) 16:47, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:BIO, WP:NMODEL, or WP:ACTOR. In a WP:BEFORE search I couldn't find any significant, independent, secondary coverage of him, just interviews in obscure news blogs like "Hindustan Metro", passing mentions in film notices, and WP:NEWSORGINDIA paid placement. His acting has all been minor roles so far. According to this reference, the short film he produced was an official selection at the Golden Door Film Festival, but the actual awards he's won so far are all from minor festivals of unknown notability. Zero secondary coverage of his vitamin business. Other editors interested in searching for coverage that I missed should note that there's an unrelated basketball player with the same name, and that this person's surname is sometimes transliterated as "Kapoor".
  3. Lacrima Dairy: nominated at AfD; notified DrhSR (talk · contribs) 08:58, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable WP:CORP, no significant coverage online from reliable sources, only passing mentions found in business listings in a few languages. Original version was highly promotional, and there's a previous history of this from a blocked account a year ago: see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LÀCRIMA DAIRY, and the accompanying article and draft history. Rather than bother with a SPI, it seemed better to clean it up and take it to AFD, but there's no real sign of notability here.
  4. Skye Aurelia: nominated at AfD; notified KhalidFaruqi92 (talk · contribs) 10:51, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:NMODEL or WP:BIO. Speedied G11 three times Draft:Skye Aurelia, but this one isn't eligible for speedy. WP:BEFORE search turned up passing mentions for modelling credits in WP:RS, but no significant secondary coverage - the best I can find is the Harper's Bazaar Serbia softball interview cited here, but an interview is a primary source.
  5. Samuel Leach (trader): nominated at AfD; notified KhalidFaruqi92 (talk · contribs) 11:59, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable WP:BIO. In a WP:BEFORE search all I can find is a ton of interviews and obvious paid placement, including deprecated sources like WP:THESUN and WP:DAILYEXPRESS, but also the cited "contributor" article from WP:FORBESCON, and the Bangkok Post interview cited here but at least clearly marked as PR. His charity work is routine local newspaper coverage. The rest is passing mentions such as the Reuters article cited about a charity sleepout, articles written by him, and unreliable sources like news blogs.
  6. Rajkumar (2024 film): nominated at AfD; notified Sonju10 (talk · contribs) 06:36, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
    • Reason: WP:NFF: hasn't yet commenced principal photography. Sources cited say that filming was proposed to begin in July 2022, but all that's been announced so far is plans.

January 2024[edit]

  1. Manoj Kumar Singh (civil servant): nominated at AfD; notified Bharat.varsh (talk · contribs) 14:27, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable mid-level civil servant, mentioned only in passing (or not mentioned at all) in sources cited, which are on the whole about a 2015-17 jurisdictional dispute at a university, so WP:BLP1E at best. Couldn't find anything better than the sources cited in a WP:BEFORE search. Previously soft deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manoj Kumar Chauhan under this article's original title Manoj Kumar Chauhan; moved to current title by article creator in 2022.
  2. FashFilmFete: nominated at AfD; notified Magould (talk · contribs) 10:02, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: No indication of notability per WP:GNG, just lots of name-dropping in the links for topics of the films. A WP:BEFORE search turned up only the routine local coverage cited. Festival's website doesn't yet mention it running a third time.
  3. Sivam M: nominated at AfD; notified Pranav Raj 1997 (talk · contribs) 11:14, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:FILMMAKER. A WP:BEFORE search for his name in English and Telugu only turns up routine coverage of the film, which claims to be the first children's film released nationally in India.
  4. WhatJobs: nominated at AfD; notified 雷 446 雷 (talk · contribs) 12:17, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fails WP:CORP, with no significant coverage online, just social media and press releases. Sources cited are mostly primary, along with a few unreliable secondary sources that look like paid placement.
  5. Anna Eliza Williams: nominated at AfD; notified Moondragon21 (talk · contribs) 02:58, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO. Notable only for having been the oldest known person for 11 months. Died in 1997; outcome of second AFD in 2017 was to delete. My speedy nomination db-g4 (even fewer sources than the 2017 version) was declined by an admin in favour of redirect to List of the verified oldest people, but the redirect was reverted 6 days later.
  6. Sal Sparace: nominated at AfD; notified Enterprisetv (talk · contribs) 12:07, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:CREATIVE, WP:BIO or WP:GNG. In a WP:BEFORE search the only mention I can find of his name is in articles written by Sparace, about Sandro Paternostro. He's worked on some notable shows as technical director, but on Wikipedia notability is not inherited.
  7. Starry (musician): nominated at AfD; notified Princeisrael2728 (talk · contribs) 09:06, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:MUSICBIO. All I can find in an online search in English is about the same as the current sources: a mix of interviews (WP:PRIMARY) in RS like Daily Trust, Daily Nigerian and Nigerian Tribune, and puff pieces on music blogs. The RS also pretty consistently describe her as "upcoming", "budding", etc. She's put out a single EP, with no charts in evidence, the sources cited for regular radio rotation are music blogs, and the station named isn't national per WP:MUSICBIO #11.

February 2024[edit]

  1. Teri Ik Nazar: nominated at AfD; notified Pllutin (talk · contribs) 12:40, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable per WP:GNG and the essay WP:NTV: in a WP:BEFORE search I can only find the briefest mentions of the series, in articles about the actors who appeared in it. The rest was bootlegs of the series on social media. It was one of several series nominated for a Lux Style Award in 2010, but I can't see how this alone brings it over the line for WP:GNG.
  2. Excelacom: nominated at AfD; notified Engineering Guy (talk · contribs) 02:49, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fails WP:CORP, borderline speedy delete. The only source close to a secondary reference in a reliable source I could find in a WP:BEFORE search was this passing mention on MarketWatch. The rest is press releases and company listings.
  3. Forcas and Careiras Ocean Territory: nominated at AfD; notified ItsMeGabeProductions (talk · contribs) 10:52, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per previous nomination,alleged micronation based only on old fandom page. No reliable sources found.
  4. Usman Butt: nominated at AfD; notified EmmBee91 (talk · contribs) 20:22, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable WP:NACTOR or WP:NMODEL. All minor acting roles so far. What's cited here already is all of the reliable sources I could find online in English or Urdu, and all are primary sources: interviews, and an appearance on a TV panel game show. The only secondary coverage I could find was passing mentions in films. Editors wishing to search should note that the first name is sometimes spelled "Osman" in English, and the surname is sometimes Bhatt. There's a lot of secondary coverage of the unrelated actor Osman Khalid Butt (عثمان خالد بٹ), so I tried to exclude "Khalid" (خالد) from the search, but still couldn't improve on the sources cited.
  5. Eric Wilson (politician): nominated at AfD; notified DCevents05 (talk · contribs) 04:57, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable WP:NPOL: candidate not elected to any office yet, currently one of three candidates running in a primary election for selection as a party's nominated candidate for a November 2024 election to national office. In a WP:BEFORE search I can find only routine local coverage.
  6. E valayam: nominated at AfD; notified The Indian Cinema (talk · contribs) 19:42, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
  7. You Alone Exist: nominated at AfD; notified Fostera12 (talk · contribs) 06:38, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fails WP:NFILM. In a WP:BEFORE search I couldn't find independent, secondary coverage in WP:RS, just some passing mentions of it in various Meher Baba organization's websites, that "Culture Unplugged" post of the film by its director (with a link for funding), and social media.
  8. Manzur Shafi Chowdhury: nominated at AfD; notified Growithm (talk · contribs) 08:22, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:NPOL. He's the chair of an upazila, and WP:NSUBPOL notes that for Bangladesh, there's no presumed notability for subnational politicians. There is some routine coverage of him being selected for a government award for "best upazila chairman" [5], but it's unclear how notable this award is. The rest of the coverage I can find on him, and most of what's cited here so far, is that he's a candidate for a national assembly election, but WP:NPOL notes that just being a candidate doesn't confer notability, and the coverage of his candidacy in RS so far is pretty thin.
  9. Alex Heckler: nominated at AfD; notified Hazooyi (talk · contribs) 16:14, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fails WP:BIO and WP:NPOL. He's worked for some notable politicians, though I can't find reliable, secondary sources in a WP:BEFORE search to confirm many of the unsourced claims made here. All I can find is passing mentions of him in articles about Florida politics. He may well have worked for some US presidents and senators, but on Wikipedia, notability is not inherited.
  10. Akshay Akkineni (filmmaker): nominated at AfD; notified Fostera12 (talk · contribs) 06:27, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Still fails WP:FILMMAKER. Since the last AFD, he was assistant director on another film. Article also says that he has notable relatives, but notability is not inherited on Wikipedia. In a WP:BEFORE search, the best I can find in RS is gossipy reports about his wedding.
  11. Fisayomi Abebi: nominated at AfD; notified Jutos222 (talk · contribs) 05:58, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:NACTOR or WP:PRODUCER, child actor who produced a film at the age of ten. Article says she has "worked on set" with notable actors, but on Wikipedia notability is not inherited. The only reliable source I can find for her online is the Nigerian Tribune Interview cited, but interviews are WP:Primary sources, and I can't find coverage of her in independent, secondary sources, just a lot of social media, and some passing mentions in gossip articles about a purported relative.
  12. Shehu Ahmed Tukur: nominated at AfD; notified Abu ogah (talk · contribs) 08:21, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:NPOL: not yet been elected to office. The only secondary coverage I can find on him in reliable secondary sources is routine coverage of his candidacy, and passing mentions in election articles. The one exception was this article on a brief legal dispute over his win in a 2022 primary election [6], but I don't think single reference that pulls him over the line of WP:ANYBIO or WP:NPOL.
  13. Mark E. Shaw: nominated at AfD; notified Mushroom1498 (talk · contribs) 10:13, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable by WP:BIO or WP:GNG. I can't find significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources, and most of the sources here are his own writing. There are passing mentions of him in the three World (magazine) articles cited, but all thre articles are about addiction generally, not Shaw himself.
      A similarly worded attempt in April 2023 by a sockpuppet of User:BrookeCook at Mark Edward Shaw was moved to draft, then speedy deleted G5, and the SPI for BrookeCook has been pretty busy lately.
  14. Gem Television Tamil: nominated at AfD; notified Gokulakannan SK (talk · contribs) 15:56, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fails WP:GNG: I can't find any secondary sources about this channel, in English or Tamil. It was sent to draft once, then moved back to main space the following day with only a Google search cited as a reference.
  15. Rodeo Dental & Orthodontics: nominated at AfD; notified Jahanzaibnaqvi (talk · contribs) 08:23, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: WP:CORP, not yet notable. In a WP:BEFORE search, the only coverage I could find in secondary sources was inclusion in a Fortune "Impact20" list [7], press releases, puff pieces on dentistrytoday.com (for which I can't find evidence of editorial oversight), and a "sponsored content" piece on a local FOX affiliate [8]. The inclusion on the Fortune list is about it for secondary coverage so far, and I don't think that alone brings it up to WP:CORP or WP:GNG.
  16. Mesivta Ohel Torah: nominated at AfD; notified ישיבה גדולה (talk · contribs) 09:37, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not notable per WP:NSCHOOL, that is, per WP:ORG or WP:GNG. All I can find about it online is similar to what's here: passing mentions in articles about other things, and routine school listings. Proposed deletion last week was contested without comment by the article creator.
  17. Zachary Garmers: nominated at AfD; notified Thefatherferret770 (talk · contribs) 10:54, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:NACTOR: only minor roles so far, and I can find no significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources.
  18. Shafique Mohamed Ali: nominated at AfD; notified AbscondingAlibi (talk · contribs) 09:47, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:NFILMMAKER: I can find only passing mentions of him in film reviews and film credits, with no significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources.
  19. FXGT: nominated at AfD; notified Nolla Emerald (talk · contribs) 17:04, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: There's no indication that this meets WP:CORP or WP:GNG. The company won "Best Hybrid Broker 2022 at the Ultimate Fintech Awards", an award of unclear notability from what I can find about them online. Sources cited for the company are press releases, an interview, reviews on sites of unknown reliability, and routine inclusions in listings. There's plenty more of that online, but no significant coverage that I can find in reliable, secondary sources.
  20. Category:Islamic Rationalists: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Islamic rationalists; notified Greywolf28 (talk · contribs) 12:31, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: C2A, capitalization fix
  21. Okeke Chika Jerry: nominated at AfD; notified Otuọcha (talk · contribs) 16:51, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NPOL. In a WP:BEFORE search, As a politician, there is only routine coverage of his candidacy for governor in 2021, along with opinion pieces by him about how he would govern. As an author, his name is mentioned in passing in a few books, such as inclusion in a list of novelists in the appendix of this book, but there isn't the level of substantial coverage of his work yet to meet WP:NAUTHOR.
  22. Vipin Reshammiya: nominated at AfD; notified ArjunKR92 (talk · contribs) 11:51, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO, WP:CREATIVE, WP:BIO or WP:GNG. I can find only passing mentions of him in reliable English and Hindi sources, nearly always in connection with his notable son Himesh Reshammiya. I did find this quote from him in a RS book, but that's effectively a WP:Primary source. He's worked with some notable people on some notable films, but on Wikipedia notability is not inherited. We could redirect to Himesh Reshammiya as an ATD, but I'm bringing it to AFD for discussion.
  23. Spanish Fly Pro: nominated at AfD; notified Jemo Albasat (talk · contribs) 14:18, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fails WP:NPRODUCT. I can't find any significant coverage of it in reliable sources, just lots of paid coverage and advertorial like this and this. Spammy tone and edit history suggest undisclosed paid editing, and an article with the same title was speedy deleted G5 and G11 in 2017, but this article didn't quite seem to meet WP:CSD#G11.
  24. Bholananda National Vidyalaya: nominated at AfD; notified Wowlastic10 (talk · contribs) 16:17, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable WP:NSCHOOL. In a WP:BEFORE search, the best I could come up with was a ranking of the school for their district. The rest is passing mentions, with no significant coverage per WP:GNG. Moved to draft once, then moved back to main space by article creator without improvement. Proposed deletion was contested by article creator.

March 2024[edit]

  1. Nicole Starrett: nominated at AfD; notified Jesusisourlord (talk · contribs) 04:50, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Doesn't yet meet WP:NACTOR or WP:NPRODUCER. As an actor she's had only minor roles so far. She was included in a shared nomination for an HMMA in 2021 [9], but that doesn't quite pull her over the line for notability yet. No significant coverage in reliable sources, just passing mentions. Probably WP:TOOSOON. Article creator was blocked for undisclosed paid editing.
  2. Nicolas Carra: nominated at AfD; notified AWantedCoffee (talk · contribs) 09:07, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable as a politician according to WP:POLITICIAN and WP:NSUBPOL. He's a mayor and former councilmember of a small borough with a population of under 8K, and in a WP:BEFORE search I can only find routine local coverage of his campaign and election. The state commission appointment by the governor also seems to have had only routine local coverage. Having been elected at such an early age, he might well move up to an elected state position eventually, and would then certainly merit an article, but for now it's WP:TOOSOON.
  3. Rapper Chauhan: nominated at AfD; notified Nritya02 (talk · contribs) 11:41, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable by WP:MUSICBIO, WP:NACTOR, WP:BIO or WP:GNG, with no significant coverage in reliable sources. A WP:BEFORE search turns up mainly social media, WP:NEWSORGINDIA paid reporting, and obvious paid coverage in faux-newspaper websites like "Punjab News Express" and "Fox Interviewer". An article on the same person has just been nominated for speedy deletion db-spam at Hindi WP, but I tried to clean this one up and find some RS to support WP:NACTOR, as one reference here claims he won an award for a film role. That reference claims he played a police officer, but IMDB says it was a "special appearance", so if any editor has seen the film, please let us know if it's anything more than a minor walk-on role.
  4. List of Jain billionaires: nominated at AfD; notified KRFAAR (talk · contribs) 20:37, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Most of the references so far don't verify that the people listed are both Jains and billionaires, but as User:Fram noted when moving this to draft, it's unclear how the intersection of religion and wealth is in any way encyclopedic enough for a standalone list article.
  5. Scott Wharton (businessman): nominated at AfD; notified Huipera (talk · contribs) 08:00, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable businessman, with no significant coverage in WP:RS. A WP:BEFORE search turned up only more of what's cited here: primary sources, press releases and sponsored content. Tone, unsourced content and creator's user page suggest conflict of interest or undisclosed paid editing.
  6. Maritime Page: nominated at AfD; notified DShafran (talk · contribs) 09:45, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:WEB. It is used as a source in the RUSI and Bellingcat pages, but not actually mentioned. In a WP:BEFORE search I could only find passing mentions of the site in three BusinessWorld articles , citing it for the number of shipyards in the Philippines in 2021: [10] [11] [12].
  7. Kayode Adegbulugbe: nominated at AfD; notified TJO28 (talk · contribs) 14:41, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Just as non-notable per WP:BIO as he was two weeks ago, but as an obvious sock/meatpuppet has removed the db-repost speedy tag, here it is again at AFD. Article creator never responded to questions about use of multiple accounts at their user talk page. Perhaps this AFD will end quickly with a db-repost, once the two accounts have been blocked for sockpuppetry. In the meantime, a WP:BEFORE search turns up only the same gushing paid puff pieces, primary sources (such as interviews), and passing mentions.
  8. Ammar Nemo: nominated at AfD; notified LionelTechTips (talk · contribs) 17:24, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable WP:NACTOR, with only minor roles so far. In a WP:BEFORE search, the only significant coverage I could find was the WDIV-TV source cited, from local television news.
  9. Craig Drummond: nominated at AfD; notified Potpart (talk · contribs) 10:20, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable per WP:BIO, WP:NAUTHOR and WP:ENT. He's a lawyer who's had some notable clients, but on Wikipedia notability is not inherited. The book is self-published, and the only review of it I could find in reliable sources is the St. Joseph News-Press review cited. He has appeared on some local news broadcasts, appeared once on Court TV as a legal commentator (at 4:00 - 8:26 in the source cited), and wrote a commentary piece for the News Journal, but the sources for that are all primary. All I could find about him in a WP:BEFORE search of secondary sources was passing mentions, with no significant coverage of him, apart from him speaking publicly about a case where he was counsel. Article creator is a declared paid editor for another Las Vegas company, and both the unsourced personal details and repeated uploads of promotional photos suggests conflict of interest or undisclosed paid editing.
  10. National Association of Asian American Professionals: nominated at AfD; notified Markkennedy2 (talk · contribs) 16:18, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: No indication of notability per WP:ORG, and almost entirely sourced by primary sources. No significant coverage from secondary sources found in a WP:BEFORE search, just passing mentions of someone winning a NAAAP award [13], [14].
  11. MicroWorld Technologies: nominated at AfD; notified Dadu (talk · contribs) 10:19, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Doesn't meet WP:CORP, though it's WP:LISTED. A WP:BEFORE search turned up only press releases, obvious sponsored content like this in WP:NEWSORGINDIA and on computing news websites, and passing mentions.
  12. Cembrit: nominated at AfD; notified Csje02 (talk · contribs) 13:57, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: The original parent company FLSmidth & Co. is notable, but this spun-off subdiary, owned by a few parent companies since, does not appear to meet WP:CORP or WP:GNG, with no SIGCOV in reliable sources that I can find. Redirect might be an WP:ATD, but it seemed best to bring it to AFD as the article was created in 2009. It's now a subsidiary of Swisspearl, which might be notable enough for a separate article, but that hasn't been written yet.
  13. Ray Martínez: nominated at AfD; notified Anagrosso (talk · contribs) 06:58, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Doesn't meet WP:MUSICBIO. Has worked with many notable musicians, and his name appears in the credits for many songs as writer, producer and musician, but I can't find significant coverage of him in reliable secondary sources. The best I managed was the short 1986 Billboard reference I've added, which describes him as a "veteran producer", and his plans for new releases. For the rest of the vague claims here, about him helping to originate the "Miami sound" (editors searching for that, please exclude the word "Machine" from the search, as he wasn't involved with Miami Sound Machine), or about being invited to join Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, awards, inductions into halls of fame, etc., I've found nothing.
  14. Raagini Sutradhar: nominated at AfD; notified Anandrajkumar0000 (talk · contribs) 12:21, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable WP:NACTOR, only minor roles so far. A WP:BEFORE search turns up no significant coverage in reliable secondary sources, just routine syndicated movie promotion, and a few brief articles about her wedding to a director. This Times of India article cited says she was cast in Lage Prema Nazar in 2021, but I can't find a reliable source to verify that she appeared in the released film. Unsourced claims about her early life (now removed) and improperly sourced promotional photo suggest undisclosed paid editing.
  15. Christopher Olsen: nominated at AfD; notified SUNYESF2828 (talk · contribs) 16:42, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: I can find nothing about this person online. The only sources cited here that mention him are listings of his entries into school science fairs. Can't find anything about his company, or that he appeared on Fox & Friends. Falls well short of WP:BIO and WP:GNG.
  16. Killface (2018 film): nominated at AfD; notified Bagujohn10 (talk · contribs) 10:41, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: No significant coverage in reliable sources per WP:NFILM, just routine film listings and a passing mention in a news blog [15] were all I could find in a WP:BEFORE search.
  17. Arrival of the First Africans in English America: nominated at AfD; notified Cfnvama (talk · contribs) 11:02, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable: WP:NFILM. No coverage found online in reliable sources, apart from this passing mention in The Virginian-Pilot. None of the awards listed are notable, though a few of them have names quite similar to notable awards.
  18. The Da Vincis: nominated at AfD; notified Cheetofactory (talk · contribs) 18:39, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:BAND. The only secondary coverage I can find of them in reliable sources is the Under The Radar album review already cited here, and this album review in the Jackson Free Press. They were the local warmup band for two notable bands in their home town in 2009, but on Wikipedia notability is not inherited. I can find no evidence of national rotation, or significant awards. Created by SPAs and speedy deleted three times 2008-10, but for some reason not the fourth SPA in 2010.
  19. Bryttania: nominated at AfD; notified Eakins666... (talk · contribs) 06:40, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:BAND. In a WP:BEFORE search I could find only routine local coverage and passing mentions in gig listings.
  20. Rajen Kandel: nominated at AfD; notified Bradjohnuk (talk · contribs) 17:16, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable businessman per WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Can't see that much has changed from the archived version since the last AFD in 2022: he runs a small chain of private vocational colleges (the London one is on the second floor over a shoe shop). Spammy article by SPA suggests undisclosed paid editing, but they've made no response about that yet at their talk page. Couldn't find any SIGCOV on him in reliable secondary sources, just the usual softball interviews and passing mentions.
  21. Samarth Kulkarni: nominated at AfD; notified Nathan Evo (talk · contribs) 18:09, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable CEO of a notable company. All of the sources cited are about the company, apart from this paywalled article in Stat about him winning a "best biopharma CEO award. He has appeared on television news to discuss the company and biotech more generally, but those are primary sources, and I couldn't find solid, significant coverage of him in reliable secondary sources to show that he's notable independent from the company.
  22. Anna Cope: nominated at AfD; notified IslaMoon (talk · contribs) 14:13, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: As noted in WP:NPOL, Wikipedia doesn't normally consider borough councillors notable enough for a separate article, unless they've received significant press coverage. Likewise, being a candidate for national office doesn't normally meet WP:NPOL, absent substantial coverage in secondary sources, but I can find only routine local press coverage.

April 2024[edit]

  1. Claudia Rivero (journalist): nominated at AfD; notified Periodista1038 (talk · contribs) 05:06, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable per WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Appears to be an autobiography, and in a WP:BEFORE search the only secondary coverage I can find is what's cited here. The rest is primary sources and passing mentions. The only mention I can find of awards is on primary sources like her website, with no mention of her on the Emmys or AP websites.
  2. Aled Thomas (politician): nominated at AfD; notified Agri2024 (talk · contribs) 14:40, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: As noted in WP:NPOL, Wikipedia doesn't normally consider county councillors notable enough for a separate article, unless they've received significant press coverage. Likewise, being a candidate for national office doesn't normally meet WP:NPOL, absent substantial coverage in secondary sources, and I can find only routine local press coverage.
  3. Ataska Mercado: nominated at AfD; notified Pxsheng25 (talk · contribs) 09:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:ENTERTAINER, WP:NACTOR or WP:MUSICBIO. In a WP:BEFORE search I could find no significant coverage in reliable sources, apart from this review in the Manila Standard. Being a non-winning contestant on a reality TV series seems to be her main claim to fame, and her film and music careers haven't really taken off yet. WP:TOOSOON at best.
  4. Nivedita Majhi Taai: nominated at AfD; notified Hana Shinohara (talk · contribs) 06:59, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable series per WP:GNG and WP:NTV. A WP:BEFORE search in English and Marathi turned up only routine announcements that the show is being broadcast, and interviews with the female lead, who rather tellingly says that this early in her career she can't be too choosy about her roles: [16].
  5. Ucodelite: nominated at AfD; notified Mehzabin P S Alvi (talk · contribs) 10:04, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per previous AFD (interrupted by speedy deletion), "Fails NSOFT (more broadly, GNG) ... BEFORE search turns up no possible reliable sources to indicate notability..." I've cleared out the blatant spam, and what's left is yet another non-notable IDE, with coverage only in primary sources.
  6. Ramgopal Suthar: nominated at AfD; notified Vishwakarma-anie (talk · contribs) 17:48, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: As noted in WP:NPOL and WP:NSUBPOL, Wikipedia doesn't normally consider municipal councillors notable enough for a separate article, unless they've received significant press coverage in that role. The rest of his roles have been low-to-mid-level party leader jobs and a political appointment as chair of Skill Development Board, Government of Rajasthan. No significant coverage of him per WP:GNG or WP:BIO in reliable secondary sources; what I can find on him in a WP:BEFORE search in English and Hindi (रामगोपाल सुथार) is routine coverage of his recent appointment as chair, and some WP:PRIMARY source quotes from his speeches.
  7. Haini Wolfgramm: nominated at AfD; notified Marybrewster (talk · contribs) 05:14, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Member of a notable band, but per WP:MUSICBIO, not sufficiently notable independent of the band for a separate article. In a WP:BEFORE search, I can only find passing mentions of him in articles about the band. The Grammy nomination was for the band. He and his large family were interviewed on a national TV programme in 1994, and that interview was covered by some other media, but that would appear to be WP:BLP1E, and doesn't quite get him over the line for WP:MUSICBIO. A redirect to the band article could be an alternative to deletion, but I'm bringing it here first for discussion.
  8. William Clouston: nominated at AfD; notified MCMax05 (talk · contribs) 07:43, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: As noted in WP:NPOL, Wikipedia doesn't normally consider district or parish councillors notable enough for a separate article, unless they've received significant press coverage. Likewise, being a candidate for national office doesn't normally meet WP:NPOL, absent substantial coverage in secondary sources, and I can find only routine local press coverage. He has written for and been interviewed by some notable media, but those are WP:PRIMARY sources. Looks like a case of WP:TOOSOON, unless he wins a parliamentary seat in the upcoming general election. Restoring the redirect would be fine as an alternative to deletion, but I've brought it here for discussion rather than WP:BOLDly redirecting.
  9. Tiger Reth: nominated at AfD; notified Songha Mao (talk · contribs) 15:17, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:NACTOR or WP:NSPORT, all film roles appear to have been minor roles so far. He in teams of several performers at the openings of national sports events, but this doesn't bring him over the line for WP:GNG or WP:BIO. Couldn't find any significant secondary coverage of him in English or Khmer, just passing mentions and social media.

May 2024[edit]

  1. Second inauguration of Nayib Bukele: nominated at AfD; notified Paul Kang Álvarez (talk · contribs) 00:12, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: In a WP:BEFORE search I could find no coverage in English or Spanish of the event claimed to be taking place in a few weeks' time. It's been draftified and redirected, but this always gets immediately reverted. Article creator was globally locked for LTA, and reversions are being done by new account and anonymously, and always without comment. Rather than continue a draftifying war, I'm bringing it here to AFD for discussion. It seems to be WP:TOOSOON at best.
  2. Ashtami (TV series): nominated at AfD; notified 2000editor (talk · contribs) 08:50, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable series per WP:GNG and the essay WP:NTV. Can't find significant coverage in English or Bengali (অষ্টমী). Editors hunting for coverage will need to filter out results for the notable festivals with this name: I used "Zee Bangla" as a search term (জি বাংলা). There was a short burst of WP:NEWSORGINDIA publicity for the upcoming show, but it's been running for a month now and seems to have received very little coverage. Article appears to have been copied piecemeal from the UPE article moved to draft.
  3. SendPulse: nominated at AfD; notified Funny Smile33 (talk · contribs) 12:33, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable per WP:CORP. When I began to shovel out the marketing, I noticed that the references were all press releases and passing mentions. In a WP:BEFORE search, the only significant coverage I could find in independent RS was a product review in The Motley Fool: [17].
  4. Joyce Namirimo Tamale: nominated at AfD; notified Thehopemonger (talk · contribs) 09:20, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable businessperson, fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE search turns up only the interview in the ACCA house magazine cited here, the rest is only passing mentions. Her honorary doctorate is from the "Swiss School of Business and Management", which appears to be a degree mill, since it's not listed in the Swiss Accreditation Council's website. Article was moved to draft, submitted without improvement today, then copypasted to main space four minutes later.
  5. Alex (2025 film): nominated at AfD; notified XPGTGaming (talk · contribs) 07:40, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Article on a planned film apparently created by its director, hasn't actually begun filming yet, zero coverage so far outside of two posts on director's YouTube channel. Moved to draft three times, where it was correctly declined once as failing WP:NFILM. My speedy A7 was declined in favour of another move back to draft, but article creator moved it back to main space minutes later, so here we are.
  6. Zachary Rapp-Rovan: nominated at AfD; notified Buster7 (talk · contribs) 18:00, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: No indication of notability independent of the band Zeds Dead, per WP:MUSICBIO and WP:ARTIST. Nearly all of the content (and sources) here is about the band, and the coverage I can find of him in RS is about his work with the band, including some mentions of the art he displays when the band performs. I proposed a merge on 9 March, but that's had no response apart from the article creator. Creator has now removed the merge proposal template from this article, so I've closed the merge proposal at Talk:Zeds Dead, but the problem of notability hasn't been addressed yet. A redirect to Zeds Dead would be fine as an WP:ATD.
  7. Scott Michaels: nominated at AfD; notified Vastausthezaan (talk · contribs) 19:52, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG, with no significant secondary coverage in RS. The best I could find in a WP:BEFORE search was a few interviews in essentiallysports.com, and the rest is social media, press releases, and some coverage in WP:THESUN and WP:DAILYEXPRESS. Strong aroma of UPE here, including this addition today of a selfie, unavailable on the source claimed at Commons.
  8. Alex O'Connor: nominated at AfD; notified Los Perros pueden Cocinar (talk · contribs) 01:15, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not yet notable per WP:BIO or WP:ENT. He hosts a podcast that has interviewed many notable people, but on Wikipedia notability is not inherited. The best independent, secondary coverage I can find of O'Connor himself in a WP:BEFORE search is the Oxford Mail story about Hitchens walking out on him during a podcast, but this amounts to WP:BLP1E. The rest of what I can find is all WP:PRIMARY, including YouTube clips of him appearing on GB News, Uncensored, this clip on Daily Caller of Hitchens walking out, etc.
