Al-'Ashr al-Awakher

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

No sources. No indication of notability. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:32, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Religion and Islam. UtherSRG (talk) 19:32, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What the article is describing is the Night of Power. Whether this is a legitimate name for it is another question. If it is, redirect, but I don't think it is, so delete. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:42, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't changed my mind. How is this different from the subject we already cover? PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:34, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - in its original state, the article contained three references, none of which mentioned Al-'Ashr al-Awakher at all. Since nomination at AfD, the creating editor has added a rough translation from the urwiki article, but I am not sure what to make of the references that are now there - they look like primary sources to me, but my knowledge of Islam is quite poor. In any case, although my WP:BEFORE searches turned up references to the last ten nights of Ramadan and that the Night of Power occurs within that period (so the topic is possibly notable), I could find nothing linking the phrase Al-'Ashr al-Awakher with it at all. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 09:22, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The first version of the article was incomplete, I've improved it now, so I think it should keep. Leo^talk 10:41, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - to expand on my previous delete recommendation, I could find no WP:SIGCOV of either Al-'Ashr al-Awakher or last ten nights of Ramadan in secondary sources: there are plenty of passing mentions, but only in the context of the Night of Power or I'tikāf, both of which are already the subject of articles. The current article, a rough translation of mentions in primary religious sources, should not be kept. SunloungerFrog (talk) 09:09, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Klaus Alinani

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

First of all, I believe this footballer fails WP:SPORTCRIT because he only played 244 minutes in Albania's highest league and spent the rest of his career in lower divisions where attendance can be measured in the hundreds. But does he meet WP:GNG anyway? I believe not, because the two Panorama sources in the article as well as three others I found [1] [2] [3] are either WP:ROUTINE or not long enough to grant notability. In the longest piece, "Nga Ballshi në Sarandë, Alinani rigjen vëllain", over half of the article is a direct quote from Alinani. Geschichte (talk) 05:49, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete highly likley COI in my opinion, article does not meet WP:GNG criteria. Opolito (talk)
Delete: I can’t find any significant coverage by sources not affiliated with the company, as the sites that appear when I search the company are its website, and most of the other ones appear to be its social media profiles on sites such as Facebook and Instagram. In addition to this, there are some aspects of the article that sound promotional, and Samsung.mhi, who wrote the entire article, has a conflict of interest with the company as evidenced by their username and could possibly be an undisclosed paid editor as well.

ZX Touch

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

The sources are two links to the brand's website and two YouTube videos. I couldn't find any other sources through a WP:BEFORE that demonstrate this product's notability. BuySomeApples (talk) 04:44, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: As noted, two of the refs link to the company website, and the other two are videos on YouTube which appear to be reviews of the topic. When searching the subject, most of the links that appear are on shopping sites such as eBay and Amazon, and there doesn’t appear to be any real significant coverage of the subject on websites not affiliated with the subject.

Morgpie

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

Fails to meet WP:GNG. Most sources are not significant coverage or from non-reliable sources. Does not meet WP:ANYBIO, WP:CREATIVE or WP:ENTERTAINER.

Any independent coverage of her from reliable sources seems to fall under WP:BLP1E. A one-off stunt on Twitch to attempt to circumvent guidelines is not notable.

Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED; however, just because it is not censored doesn't mean that pornographic persons get a pass on meeting notability because people are too afraid to nominate them out of fear of being called a censor. ~Darth Stabro^{Talk • Contribs} 03:46, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pennsylvania Governor's Residence fire

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

This likely fails WP:NOTABILITY and WP:RECENCY, as most other arson attacks don't have pages. For similar reference, the 2008 arson attack to the Texas Governor's Mansion doesn't have its own page. Red0ctober22 (talk) 03:34, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails WP:NEVENT for lack of WP:SUSTAINED coverage. Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS. For now, this is at best a couple lines in the main article for the PA governor's mansion. Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:42, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This has gotten major coverage and, unlike the Texas fire, directly threatened the Governor's life.

Mister Philippines 2008

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

Appears to fail WP:NEVENT. Single source is a Blogger blog recently listed as bad source at WP:WikiProject Beauty Pageants/Sources. This would have been redirected to a pageant series article, but no such article exists leading me to think the series is probably non-notable as well. ☆ Bri (talk) 03:27, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Powtoon

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

Through a web search, it doesn't appear that this is a notable company. I've found some web articles [4][5][6], but with a quick read, I'm concerned about significant coverage (i.e., commentary, analysis, etc.) of the company's services within those sources, per WP:CORPDEPTH.

Efren Prieto

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

Fails WP:NBIO and none of the sources are acceptable. Sources are a) a Blogspot blog b) Bellezavenezolana.net, listed at WP:WikiProject Beauty Pageants/Sources as the work of one person with no editorial oversight (i.e. a self-published source, and c) the subject's own commercial website. WP:BEFORE did not turn up anything better, and the article has been tagged as poorly referenced for over a decade. ☆ Bri (talk) 00:58, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Important list. An editor from Mars (talk) 00:45, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for the same reason I voted Keep on List of films in the public domain in the United States. These lists are invaluable for a base of information checking and completing filmography articles and lists, etc. Especially if we are creating a table of works list for any bio article. They are also helpful in pointing us towards other information we might need when we create an article. — Maile (talk) 02:02, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Hardly indiscriminate; this is a highly defined list and passes WP:NLIST as the subjects are discussed as a group in Hurst, Rossen, Kehr and other sources in the article. Also passes WP:LISTPURP (and is useful to boot). Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:36, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vincent Confait

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

Declined prod. There are 3 non-database/results sources. This one isn't SIGCOV as it's 2 small 1 line mentions. This and this are about his son dying and not SIGCOV about Vincent. Fails WP:SPORTSCRIT. Medalling in Indian Ocean Island Games is not considered a top tier competition for WP:NATH. LibStar (talk) 00:32, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What's the point of mass AFDing substantially improved articles mere minutes after they're improved? Can't you just focus on worse quality articles instead of obsessing over getting everything improved by a particular user deleted? BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:35, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This was not substantially improved as it is lacking in third party indepth sources. My nomination stands and you won't deter me. LibStar (talk) 00:37, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is absolutely a substantial improvement. In what way would deleting this improve the encyclopedia? BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:38, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It still is lacking in indepth third party coverage. I've already commented how the added third party sources are not SIGCOV. LibStar (talk) 00:40, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In what way would deleting this improve the encyclopedia? BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:41, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I think it's a weak case but the Nation coverage gets close to WP:SIGCOV and I think the ongoing coverage of his career (plus his medals at the Indian Ocean Island Games and appearances at two Olympic games make it very likely that contemporary WP:SIGCOV of his career exists. The fact that he competed in two Olympiads makes it harder to select a redirect as an AtD, and while it is not immediately apparent that he passes WP:NTRACK he appears to have been a dominant athlete in Seychelles during his career.

Constantino Kapambwe

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

Declined prod. 2 third party sources added, the rest are databases/results listings. This is a small 1 line mention and not SIGCOV. Fails WP:SPORTSCRIT and WP:NOLY. LibStar (talk) 00:25, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Olympics, Sport of athletics, and Africa. LibStar (talk) 00:25, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I think that there are two issues here: a behavioral one as outlined in comment; and a content-based issue. I will try to keep my comments here only about the content but it's difficult because I think both are relevant.

Kapambwe was the top Olympian from his country and was noticed by The Baltimore Sun for running the entire Olympic marathon barefoot. It's all but certain there is more coverage than what I found; looking at Zambian newspapers would be a start, which is important to note because none of their 1960s archives have been checked yet. Yes, there's a systemic bias against African countries that affects the coverage available to us, but that's not the same thing as saying that no coverage exists, or even worse that we shouldn't look at all. --Habst (talk) 01:16, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Zambia at the 1964 Summer Olympics: No evidence of passing WP:GNG/WP:NSPORT. The Baltimore Sun "notice" flagged by the "keep" !voter above is a single WP:TRIVIALMENTION: However, three of the contestants started out barefoot. Harbanslal Harbanslal of India, Constantino Kapambwe of Northern Rhodesia and Mathias Kanda of Rhodesia. However, redirecting as an AtD will preserve the page history should future sourcing the qualifies this subject for mainspace be found. Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:50, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Nobody is saying that "we shouldn't look", we should, in theory, but more importantly, we "must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources". According to developments in policy, this must be in place before the article is created, not an infinite number of years after it's created – especially when there is no clear indication of notability such as here. I agree that there are issues regarding behaviour, as well as the D-word, disruptive editing, and I'd like to propose that these athlete prods/afds are placed on hold for a while, as they and the oftentimes nonsensical arguments therein are getting very tiresome.
