Him and His Sister

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

The only source cited is to a Czech film database that can be edited by anyone with an account. (like wikipedia) It's not reliable. Likewise, the foreign language wiki pages only have film databases like IMDb which are also editable by anyone and considered unreliable. No evidence this film passes WP:NFILM or WP:GNG.4meter4 (talk) 13:35, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Eight Schools Association

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

The ESA is an association of wealthy college-preparatory boarding schools in the Northeastern United States. I am concerned that this page does not meet WP:GNG because there is minimal direct coverage from outside, reliable sources, based on a review of Google News, Google Scholar, and the Wikipedia Library (inc. EBSCO and JSTOR). In addition, the material in the article (based primarily on sources and data from the member schools) suggests that the ESA has not been very active since 2013. Several members of the association attempted to start an athletics league, which used to have the Wikipedia page Six Schools League. The SSL page was deleted in July 2024 via WP:PROD, as there was no evidence that the league ever began play. I don't think there was any substantive discussion about the deletion then.

As far as I can tell, the only meaningful discussion of the ESA by an outside source appears to be a 2018 book about campus planning by architect and Princeton administrator Robert Spencer Barnett with photos of the ESA campuses. In his preface, the author states that "limiting the scope [of the book] to this group may seem overly restrictive," but "these schools embody most of the opportunities and challenges that exist at peer institutions."

Other than that, specific descriptions of the ESA in outside sources have generally been limited to offhand mentions in articles about member schools.

A 2015 Associated Press article about St. Paul's School (New Hampshire) that briefly refers to the ESA "a sort of Ivy League for prep schools."
A 2019 Quadrant Magazine article by William Rubinstein noting that Edward Said attended Mount Hermon, an ESA member. Rubinstein says that the ESA is "the American equivalent of the Clarendon schools including Eton and Harrow," without elaboration.
A 2011 Fast Company article about member school Choate, which states that the ESA is "an alliance of posh - and highly competitive - New England prep schools."
A 2007 article in Education Week saying that the Concord Review student journal is trying to get the ESA schools to subsidize the journal's continued production, and calling the ESA "a group of elite private schools in New England."

In addition, on February 6, I left a notability tag and a message on the article's talk page requesting help finding additional sources, with no response. Namelessposter (talk) 18:43, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep I am leaning towards weak keep because of this article and there are also several citations in the references that are not available online, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they exist with additional coverage.Darkm777 (talk) 19:46, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My concern with that article you linked (which is already cited on the Wikipedia page) is that it's a piece in one of the member schools' student newspapers, so it's not exactly an outside source. It's also from 2010 and the scale of the ESA's work appears to have dropped off significantly since then. Namelessposter (talk) 20:05, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The island has a strong fishing industry [1] and a protected mangrove area [2]. That's enough for notability per WP:NATFEAT. Astaire (talk) 17:46, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:NATFEAT also says if not much can be said about a named feature, the relevant information could be mentioned in a more general article. In this case the economy and geography section of Zamboanga City Hariboneagle927 (talk) 12:58, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - That applies when the article cannot be developed using known sources, using the example of a river island with no information available except name and location. That's not the case here. Astaire (talk) 02:11, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    - This is barely an article. I will have to beg to disagree with the interpretation of that provision. The river island is understood to be a just an example. All we have is the name and location and a brief about its "strong fishing industry" contribution to the economy of one of Zamboanga City's district and the island being part of a bigger mangrove area - which can be mentioned in the Zamboanga City article. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 03:51, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I understand this area may be called Vitali Island, but is it actually an island at all? Perhaps rivers technically separate it from the mainland -- though i'm not sure of that -- but it certainly doesn't seem to be "offshore" in the normal sense one would expect.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 17:58, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- I spent some time squinting at maps. There does appear to be water all of the way around, separating it from the main Zamboanga Peninsula. It is really difficult to find any English language geographical information — or at least usable information. I had to be really careful with the source that I found, as it has really dated very badly, although seems still usable for the barebones geographic information. Uncle G (talk) 21:17, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'm convinced it is an island now - this 1950s US Army map shows it nicely [3] - the gap to the mainland looks marshy and perhaps has gotten more built up with aquaculture facilities over time. I'm loathe to !vote "delete" on a landform of this size and may dig around more if time permits.--Milowent

I'm a Keep. Yes, it needs more work. I tracked down today that the island also gets called "Limaong Island" after one of its barangays. Internet coverage of the entire Zamboanga City area is less than robust. But the island has over 7000 inhabitants and a number of schools, known beaches, etc. Compiling will take some work but I'm not convinced there's a lack of notability. E.g., I can tell there is a single bridge to the island, which was wooden and collapsing in 2009, and rebuilt as a concrete bridge in 2017, but still looking for a better source than a Zamboanga-specific wiki.[4].

Miho (Sin City)

Minor comic character. The usual issues with WP:GNG - article is a plot summary + list of appearances; reception is very short (just two listicles). My BEFORE is of no help. WP:ATD-R gives us a plausible target: List of Sin City characters.

  The article notes: "Curious and Unusual Deaths—which moves to Discovery Channel for its second season Friday, March 16, after a run on sister channel Discovery World—dramatizes offbeat ways people have met their demises over the years. The stories involve everything from a fisherman buried in sand to a gust of wind carrying a kite flyer into the air and a mechanical breakdown causing a man to be smothered in his sleep. Every episode tells three stories of people who came to bad ends in unlikely ways. And after watching it for a while, you might get the creeping sensation that danger lurks everywhere. ...

The salesman was struck down in midpitch on a cloudless Florida day. By the end of the segment we know that the phrase “bolt from the blue” isn’t just an expression, and that a Bible is apparently no protection against random death. The premiere also explores the departures of a scientist who worked on the Manhattan Project and a not-very-bright lawyer who worked on the 24th floor of a glass tower in Toronto. As if that weren’t enough for the easily unsettled, the show sprinkles each episode with factoids related to the deaths examined, just rolling them out there without explanation."

The fact it has a website and forum is no indication that it meets the criteria of being notable. All but one of these sources are not suitable as they are missing key criteria such as significant, reliable or independent. The first one is the only one which may meet the criteria. The second is just a listing of its features not a review. The third is a personal blog, not reliable. The last 2 are not independent, no byline to say an independent person actually wrote these.

The software has a homepage, and a latest release this year (2025) for several mainstream OS's. How's that not enough? 130.238.197.107 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 14:03, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep For all the reasons stated above. I see that improvement can be made in the references, and as the main contributor to this article, I will try, in the next few days, to reference some of the technical web sites that reviewed this software. The problem with WP:GNG is that it is heavily one-sided towards large news sources and academic work. This is not relevant to most, if not all, the Open Source software where development is done by a small group of even a single developer. Such pieces of work have significant numbers of followers and users satisfying specific niches. In the case of Strawberry, it started from a general audio reproduction application and added significant options catering towards audiophile audiences.

Usually large news/media sources tend to review OSS where there is some financial reward even if that is only due to advertisement. I wish that WP editors consider these facts and apply notability requirements appropriately instead with utmost strictness without any consideration to the subject matter. --Ank (talk) 11:13, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That wasn't the issue here, the issue here is the article didn't have any suitable references. Everyone one was connected to the software/developer or did not provide any actual independent insight to the software or why it is any more notable then any other software on github. I couldn't find any source not connected to the developer when I did my before search. So this wasn't a strict application of the guidelines it was a poor choice to move into the main space without even one decent source. I am not opposed to this going back to draft space to incubate longer as an alternate to deletion and to give more time for proper sourcing to be found.

She has been cited in multiple independent media sources, including New York Post, Cottages & Gardens, and Mansion Global, for her work in designing luxury homes in high-profile locations such as The Hamptons, Palm Beach, and Upstate New York. These publications are independent, reputable, and widely recognized in the real estate industry:

Combined with the problems with the reliability of Africa-based sources, I fear that Berulo fails WP:BASIC.

Thank you for your feedback. I understand the importance of maintaining Wikipedia's neutrality and ensuring that all subjects meet the notability criteria.

To address your concerns:

Independent and Reliable Sources: While some sources may seem promotional, there are independent and well-established media houses that have covered my work objectively. For instance, The New Times Rwanda has published an article detailing the impact of his initiatives. You can find it here: [5].

Recognition and Impact: My work through the Berulo Foundation and the Murengere Atararenga initiative has been recognized by various stakeholders, including local government authorities and international organizations. These initiatives have contributed to reducing school dropouts and addressing social issues like poverty and stunting in Rwanda.

Addressing Reliability Concerns: While African media is sometimes questioned in terms of reliability, The New Times Rwanda is one of the country’s leading newspapers with a track record of credible reporting. Additionally, I am working on gathering more internationally recognized references to strengthen the article.

I appreciate your consideration and would be happy to collaborate in improving the article to meet Wikipedia’s standards. Let me know if there are specific areas where more verification is needed.

Looking forward to constructive feedback. Cyusa Ian Berulo (talk) 10:16, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that over the intervening 14 years Themfromspace's point about sourcing from the prior AFD discussion has been demonstrated. This might not be, per se, a product catalogue; but it is difficult to know how to construct such a list without sourcing it to a — indeed exactly one specific — product catalogue, as the only possible source that there can be. It was how it ended up being sourced (which it was not at all at the time of the prior AFD discussion, it is worth remembering when reading the prior discussion) in the main article: a list of products with sources being product catalogue entries, only to be taken out by Wctaiwan at Special:Diff/571511813.
Yes, there are magazine reviews of individual products; but was every product reviewed? How do we know? No magazine that I can find has ever done a historical retrospective of the product line as a whole. No-one that I can find has the E250d and the MS312dn, two random model numbers which surely any complete product overview that we could source from would have in one place, mentioned together other than Lexmark. So how does one source an overview of Lexmark's products to a source other than Lexmark? Not even Plunkett's US$400 Alamanac lists Lexmark's individual products model by model, rather just giving the general types of products in a couple of brief sentences.

Taxonomy

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

Egregious WP:DICDEF/WP:SYNTH. It was previously nominated for deletion over a decade ago, which led to strong backlash (note that this was a time when notability guidelines were less consistently followed and enforced than they are now). As of right now, the article is a mix of a malformed DAB/SIA page and somebody's personal essay. While the author seems convinced otherwise, sources fail to indicate that taxonomy/classification exists as an independent field of study separate from a specific discipline. What little viable and potentially useful content exists here is essentially a content fork of Classification. I think this title rightfully belongs to Taxonomy (biology), by far the most familiar and common use of the term. A proper DAB/SIA can be created for the various other uses that find themselves jumbled up in here. — Anonymous 03:28, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First merge (or restore) the content to Classification, then start a move request to move Taxonomy (biology) to this title. Absent multiple reliable sources that each collectively discuss the various topics labeled "taxonomy", this article should not exist. Whether a system of classification,^[Cambridge] a type of formal classification,^[Oxford], a synonym of systematics or classification,^{[Merriam-Webster]} or "the development of an underlying scheme of classes" as the article itself claims, taxonomy is not distinct enough from classification to warrant its own article.

Next papal conclave

Fails WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL. I am making this discussion in response to a challenged ProD, which four editors, including myself, endorsed. I believe that this article is too speculative; this page essentially details the next papal conclave, which we don't know when it will happen. Additionally, I believe this page was created because of the reports that states that Pope Francis was in critical condition, which I believe contributes to the speculative nature of this article.

Comment It seems possible that the subject would meet WP:ARTIST #4 if her works are part of the permanent collections of museums. This article mentions commissions from the Qatar Museums and the Museum of Islamic Art, Doha. Some of the commissions are murals, but others are on paper or fabric. I will try to follow this up. As far as the sources are concerned, I see two as significant - Willamette Week [27] and Doha News [28]. Others mention her briefly, or appear to be based on press releases. RebeccaGreen (talk) 07:06, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Multiple independent reliable sources that cover the subject in depth (cf. WP:GNG), specifically 1 and 2. Additionally this story in the Qatar Tribune is another sources that fits that description, despite not being used in the article. The information sourced to Qatar Museums and the Museum of Islamic Art may not be independent as they are detailing works they exhibited, but they are reliable. While that may not contribute to determining notability by a strict reading of the general notability guidelines, it is important to note that a source can still be reliable without being completely independent of the subject it is detailing.

Keep I have found and added several sources, which are overviews of Arab women writers and literature, tertiary sources rather than secondary. The content within them about this writer is short, but the fact that they include her, and the way they write about her writing, leads me to think that secondary sources exist. The last source currently in the article, at magazine.jouhina.com, is unfortunately a deadlink and not archived (as far as I have been able to find). From what I can see on the Wayback Machine of other articles in that magazine, it would have included critique of her writing, by the author of the article and others, and biographical detail, and would certainly count as SIGCOV. Perhaps a WP editor will have access to it offline. I have tried googling her Arabic name (I do not read or speak Arabic!), and there is one source the title of which translates as Writers from the Arabian Gulf, with the content described as "Arab authors; women Arab authors; Persian Gulf countries; biography." Even if I could read Arabic, only a snippet view is available on Google Books, but if anyone has access to أدباء وأديبات من الخليج العربي offline, it may also be useful.

Keep. Surely it should be obvious that a 2011 play that was adapted into a major motion picture, is widely described as a "hit" and a "success" in articles about the film (e.g. [29] [30] [31]) and has had international runs in recent years is probably going to be notable. It's somewhat difficult to separate reviews of the play from reviews of the film by the same name, but contemporary reviews of the play include these in Le Figaro, Le Monde, and Les Echos. There are also a number of reviews from its Australian run, including these: [32] [33] [34]. The play is also discussed in detail in some coverage of its film adaptation, such as this extended piece of analysis that covers both the film and the play. I'll try to find time to expand the article and add some of these sources, but this should be kept as deletion is not cleanup. MCE89 (talk) 07:18, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Making an accusation that the creator of the article, MichaelQSchmidt, a Wikipedia Administrator with over 61,000 non-automated edits, is an undisclosed paid editor is a pretty bold statement. Aside from that, the subject of the article meets WP:CREATIVE #3 for his role as producer, co-director, and writer of Quantum Quest: A Cassini Space Odyssey and possibly for Earth: Final Conflict but I haven't been able to independently verify his involvement in that series (but I haven't tried very hard).

Comment - Live and learn. Here's what happened, and a good learning curve on this one. The article was created in 2008. It wasn't until 2022 that it was tagged for possible paid editing. With a gap of 14 years, how would anyone know it was paid editing?

Allow me, please, to disagree with your observation about the importance of the length of time, i.e. "With a gap of 14 years, how would anyone know it was paid editing?" Well, information does not necessarily appear quickly. We might learn an article was made by a paid editor, or some other pertinent information, a considerable length of time after the article's creation, something for which I believe no examples need be given.

Delete since subject despite the avalanche of citations, the supporting material does not stand up to close scrutiny. Scalpel, please.

Forensics: We can all agree that our subject is the first to obtain a double doctorate, per All the News That's Fit to Print, and by some obscure Russian website, for good measure - though, we must discard the dead links about that double doctorate stuff, such as this Arizona roadkill.

What else do we have? We have listings on a general theme, in which our subject is mentioned, such as this list of alumni, or routine listings of events, e.g. of speaking appearances, such as this; plus, news items that are similarly about something else and not of our subject, e.g. this report about an upcoming movie, whose screenplay is written by Kloor (mentioned once), or this one about a NASA project where our subject is listed as "workshop attendee", or a Captain's Log entry on a "Star Trek interactive science exhibit" where our subject is name dropped once, and so on. Anything else trawled up belongs to the aforepresented categories.

The strong aroma of vanity, whether intentional or not, is not a problem. After all, anyone can see there is no need for two photo-portraits or that we do not get year of birth. Nor is the fact that a major curator of the text is a kamikaze account. The problem is that we do not have enough sources.

Comment as creator of discussion, this is less a "TNT" case and more "no one here has been convicted, so it is impossible to write an article that is not a WP:BLPCRIME violation, especially since it is named after a BLP". If other people agree with me (doubtful, given past discussions on this topic, and how vague BLPCRIME is) an alternative could be draftifiying this until people are convicted. We aren't banned from naming people accused but not convicted of crimes, but the fact it involves these dubious group affiliations and is named after one make it worse. There is not one clear perpetrator there are a bunch of different people who may well have every different convictions and results.

I think this article was not a BLP violation when it was on Maland's death, as the perpetrator of that was dead - but then it was eclipsed by the notability of the group. It would be less of a BLPCRIME violation if it was describing the group and its beliefs, but consensus has repeatedly come to removing that material because it was undue weight (and also because the person adding it had very obvious POV issues). I fully expect this to be closed as keep but the BLP problems need to be addressed. Something should be done, I am not sure if that something is deletion, but this is not good. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:07, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

PARAKANYAA, that makes more sense. Should I close this AfD and request a RM to refocus this article's subject back to Maland's killing? — 🌙Eclipse (she/they/all neos • talk • edits) 01:12, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@LunaEclipse Unsure - the notability of that was definitely eclipsed by the group even if it was less problematic like that I'm not even sure we can we cover the Maland killing without it being about the other Zizians? Everything is not settled right now so I don't know. I think this AfD was a bit hasty (no offense intended, you are clearly doing it in good faith to improve the encyclopedia) and there may be other ways to solve the issues right now besides deletion.

So maybe withdraw but I hope other people participate in the talk page discussion. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:16, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Faisal Jassim

Faisal Jassim is one of the most decorated players in the Iraqi league in recent years, one of the most talked about players of the 2023 Arab Club Champions Cup and even listed as a club legend by Al-Shorta SC a major club in Asia that just participated in 2024–25 AFC Champions League Elite.

Weak Delete First, I've seen no evidence in this article or anywhere else that this person has ever met Elon Musk, let alone has a "friendship" with him except, I suppose, in an abstract way in which everyone from Silicon Valley is friends with everyone else? In any case, to evaluate notability:

→ The Atlantic: 27 paragraph biographical profile on the person that is the subject of this article from a generally reliable outlet [42]

→ Reason: 5 paragraph biographical profile on the person that is the subject of this article from a generally reliable outlet (these 5 paragraphs, in the publication's voice, appears prior to a longer, Q&A style interview)

→Business Insider: Mentioned by name 23 separate times from a no consensus outlet, with significant biographical information included, albeit not a "profile" in the form of the above two

→ Brief (1-2 sentence) mentions in the Los Angeles Times, Engadget, and Inc. inclusive of biographical tidbits (i.e. more than a drop quote)

This is basically like one mildly substantial piece of coverage away from tipping into being unambiguously notable. That said, if there's even the slightest moment of hesitation on a BLP we should, in my opinion, delete first and ask questions later. This may be a rare case of a person who is obviously a public figure -- someone who, to quote Lewis F. Powell Jr., has "thrust himself into the forefront of public controversies" -- but isn't notable for our purposes. Chetsford (talk) 02:50, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Undergraduate Student Government at Stony Brook University

AfDs for this article:

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

This article is on a student government for undergraduates at Stony Brook University. First things first, a WP:SIRS check of the sources disqualifies nearly every single one, including "thinksb", a now-defunct student-run blogging publication, and The Statesmen, which is the student-run publication of SBU. It doesn't take much time to realize the subject undoubtedly does not pass WP:SIGCOV — it lacks widespread coverage in secondary sources and, more importantly, the required independent and significant coverage needed to establish notability. Previous editors in a previous AfD rightly pointed out that this particular organization is not so different from all the other student-run organizations at similar universities. This article was created in 2010 by a WP:SPA, as are most of the contributors. GuardianH 00:12, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2022–2023 Moldovan energy crisis

2022–2023 Moldovan energy crisis → 2022 Moldovan energy crisis (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

See Talk:2022 Moldovan energy crisis#Requested move 21 January 2025. The article was moved without any discussion or elaboration by PoppysButterflies on 1 January 2023 [43]. I tried to look into whether this was appropriate and proposed that the article be moved back, which it was. Even the Moldovan government was talking about the crisis in past tense by late January, and solutions to the original causes had already been found in December. This redirect suggests a timeframe that has not been defended by a single Wikipedia editor and is original research. I think it should be deleted to clean up from the undiscussed move. I think everyone can understand, from looking at the edit diff, that the move took place because the editor thought it was appropriate now that we were in 2023, as this editor is not active at all in the Moldovan topic area.
