This doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG. There's a podcast interview with him, an local news article about him resigning from the local K9 unit, and a local news article used twice with two different links (issuu andnewspaper's website). The Hollywood Reporter article quotes him briefly but isn't about him or his security company at all. BuySomeApples (talk) 07:07, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I removed some unverified and unsourced content from the page. It was already a stub, and now it's even shorter. Deletion seems to be the most appropriate option.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 01:05, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There are some references on the Uzbek wiki (uz:Al-faruq) that look promising, but I can only access this one. I've added some context. It could be notable; I lean towards keep. I realized that those sources are considered unreliable by the nominator who removed them recently. Would be useful to know why they are unreliable, but I trust your judgment since I can't read them. Reconrabbit 19:51, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Reconrabbit: I initially added the sources while working on the Bibliography of Shibli Nomani. Although they are reliable, they are not directly relevant to the text, which is why I chose to remove them. However, if you find them useful, you're welcome to incorporate them. There is no shortage of credible sources available online. The primary concern is that, in its current state, this article does not meet the standards required for a standalone entry.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 20:19, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The linked source from the Journal of Islamic Studies and Humanities dedicates about two pages to this book, which led me to believe it was worthwhile to use it. If it does not meet the standards for an article on a book, it could be redirected back to Shibli Nomani until someone compiles more substantial information.

This article has been tagged for original research, unreliable sources, and unverified content since 2018. Although I have attempted to address these concerns, the article remains poorly sourced and lacks sufficient content to stand as a standalone page.

  • Redirect as I don’t see enough here for a stand alone article. Mccapra (talk)
  • Comment: I surprisingly wasn't really able to find much with the title and author's name. I found a bit more when I searched for just the title, however I would need to have someone more familiar with the sourcing to really verify it. I found an article in a journal called Shnakhat, however I'm unfamiliar with it and I'm unable to open the link since it won't go past the verify page. There also seems to be some coverage in the Gomal University Journal of Research, Al-Azhār, Ulūm al-Sunnah, and Peshawar Islamicus. However since I'm really only familiar with journals typically published in the States and rely pretty heavily on Wikipedia articles to give some indication of usability, I'd rather have someone with more knowledge of these weigh in if they're actually usable or not.

This article lacks notability - specifically, reliable, secondary sources that are not just interviews. WormEater13 (talk) 02:28, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As the nominator says, its the article that lacks citations, not the organization that lacks notability. I have added a half-dozen citations from reliable 3rd party sources and will continue to work on it until the nominator is satisfied. Freechild (talk) 19:30, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
A large majority of the new sources that you've added to the article are interviews with individuals closely connected to the subject, and upon searching for notable sources about the subject, I can only seem to find primary sources. There's also many citations that you've added that don't have URLs. For example, one source you linked is the CEO of Youth Service America (Steve Culbertson) announcing that he will be speaking at his alma mater for a keynote, which is a clear connection to the subject, and is also not related to Youth Service America.

  • Weak Keep, on the basis that she fronted (as a main or co-host) several TV programmes, especially during the 90s and has been a reporter/presenter in various others. Had difficulty in finding much in the way of WP:SIGCOV specifically about her, although plenty of mentions of programmes/episodes she has been part of, or been the lead reporter in. I have added a ref for the 1993 'Missing' TV series, which does also discuss her personally (career and personal life) aside from the programme.

Declined prod with no attempt to add additional sources. Lacking third party in-depth coverage to meet WP:SPORTSCRIT. LibStar (talk) 04:42, 13 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 Kuwait. LibStar (talk) 04:42, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, I expanded the article with new sources including Al Rai describing him as "the grandfather of training". Subject did much more than just competing at a single Olympics, he had a twelve-year career spanning multiple international championships for Kuwait. A Wikipedian who knows Arabic should take a look at these search results for further coverage. --Habst (talk) 14:40, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per Habst's expansion, WP:NBASIC and common sense. Any understanding of the sport and country would indicate that a twelve-year international career with multiple Olympic appearances, and becoming known as the "grandfather of training" for his coaching after his playing career is, I guarantee, something that would be further covered significantly. The issue is that our access to sources from the time are ridiculously poor and this guy has like a dozen names he could have been covered under, and none of us speak Arabic, which makes this extremely hard to search for. Nonetheless a decent article has been developed with his significant accomplishments and coverage has been found showing he was known as a very accomplished figure in Kuwaiti athletics. He's notable.

Little to no coverage of the song, apart from lyrics. No indication of notability. (Please note that this is different from Konyali.) The only source here is a dead link to some website, so there is nothing to merge. Aintabli (talk) 05:43, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Another failed redirect, later contested by the author of the article. My reasoning is- why doesn't this have coverage around the battle itself? There's no need for aftermath without a substantial coverage of "Battle". Shakakarta (talk) 16:16, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gigantis, the Fire Monster (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Seems unnecessary. Gigantis, the Fire Monster is already covered in detail at the Godzilla Raids Again article, in the American version subsection. Gigantis was just a shorter English dubbed version of Godzilla Raids Again. It wasn't a "heavily localized" version like Godzilla, King of the Monsters! or Godzilla 1985 were; those had some Japanese footage removed in favor of new US-produced footage that was inserted for the US release, as well as the original director's intent altered by the Americans.

But Gigantis doesn't have that -- at least not to a severe degree. Both Godzilla Raids Again and Gigantis are practically the same film, save for some minor creative liberties in the English dub's dialogue. It seems like overkill to dedicated a whole article to an English dub that has minimal coverage that, again, is already covered in detail in another article.

If additional proof is needed of the article's lack of importance, no one's edited on that article since 2006. Even it's own creator, Keratos2190, has been inactive since 2006 as well. I propose simply merging it with Godzilla Raids Again. Armegon (talk) 05:03, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I had created this page, but am not fully sure if the sources currently listed or the sources available are enough to establish notability. So would love to get this into a deletion discussion, to get a consensus soon. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 04:49, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of longest vines (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unfortunately, this list fails on the guidelines for notability of lists. WP:NLIST I have not been able to locate any source that discusses longest vines as a group. In addition I have not been able to locate any sources that support the claims for notability/inclusion of most of the list items. For example "Longest monocot". "The longest parasitic vine." etc.

This is a clear example of WP:SYNTH with the editors doing original research. This would make a great article in a popular science magazine, but WP:FORUM. Wikipedia is not a place for this kind of original publication.

I discussed these issues with the article's primary editor on the talk page, but they have not been able to provide any source that would deal with the notability issue. I placed a synth notice on the page in October of 2024 and no other editor has responded on the talk page or provided a source.

I don't know that there is anywhere appropriate to redirect this article to. Maybe to matchbox bean (Entada phaseoloides) as the probable longest vine. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 04:49, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not appear to meet the WP:GNG due to a lack of WP:SIGCOV.

Hello. Apologies that I’m relatively new at this. I attempted to disclose my conflict that I’m the co-owner and editor of this newspaper. I was not paid by anyone to create this page; I did it in my free time on a weekend. The list of California papers ([[List of newspapers in California#Daily newspapers]]) is full of dozens of other weeklies with nothing exceptionally notable about them at all, and with circulation the same or smaller than ours. We’ve been named the best small newspaper in America several times by the National Newspaper Association (National Newspaper Association and California News Publishers Association (California News Publishers Association), which seems more significantly notable than than other non-daily newspapers with non-deleted wikis, eg the Salinas Valley TribuneSalinas Valley Tribune — with all due respect to my colleagues there!

Individual is listed as a founder of Huntington, WV, however the sourcing does not bear this out. Rather, he was appointed by the founder to manage the purchase of land for the city. Additionally, there is little to no WP:SIGCOV of this individual, with most mentions only in passing. The only secondary source writing that really focuses on this person is an entry in the local newspaper's series on old pictures of the city, one of which includes a photo of the subject. Recommend this content be merged with Huntington, West Virginia#History. nf utvol (talk) 01:25, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge into Huntington, West Virginia#History - agree with nominator. I believe it would be best to merge the article into the history section of Huntington, WV. I don't think the subject is notable enough to warrant a standalone article at the moment, unless further sources are presented.
