Israel–Seychelles relations

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

Article primarily based on 3 primary sources from the Israeli government. 2 of these merely confirm no embassies, a third is a factoid that Seychelles allowed Israelis to visit during the pandemic. There appears to be no third party of these relations. Fails GNG. LibStar (talk) 04:35, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bilateral relations, Africa, and Israel. LibStar (talk) 04:35, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The intro focuses on REFERENCES, while calling these sources. References are in an article. For these one does not have to search. AfDs should be focused on SOURCES, which are out there, per the golden NEXIST rule. A quick scan of the internet proves that there are third party sources, for example in Walla and Mako and Channel 13 of Israel. gidonb (talk) 04:57, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
the Channel 13 source seems an advertorial for Air Seychelles. LibStar (talk) 02:12, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

By now you have reacted to everyone who disagreed with you yet never convinced why this article should be deleted. There should have been a strong case in the intro. We did not see that. Instead, you shopped in the references, now shop in the sources. The problem is that sufficient unchallenged sources remain. And the listed articles are just a small sample. Maariv regularly covers the subject. For example: Maariv1 Maariv2 Maariv3 Maariv4. gidonb (talk) 06:22, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

can you tone it down a notch? LibStar (talk) 06:28, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

and arguing over split hairs over references and sources. Suggest you step back from your combative tone. LibStar (talk) 06:29, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not combative at all. Would be happy to explain why the distinction between sources and references is important but you can also read about all that elsewhere. Have reacted only below my own writings, where you engaged me, as you did with others. Did not make up my mind hastily. And I see nuances regarding the article. Have detailed these below. Unfortunately, you do drain the sources that totally support keeping the article time and again under vague waves. I hope people can see through the noise. gidonb (talk) 08:57, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I find it combative. LibStar (talk) 09:32, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Reliable coverage is easily discoverable from a cursory web search. This topic is significant enough on its own to warrant an article; it just hasn't been expanded beyond a stub yet. Yue💌 19:10, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Which sources did you find from your search? LibStar (talk) 22:08, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. No doubt the article is poorly written and the sourcing is lacking, but that can be resolved without deletion. The topic meets WP:N and WP:RSs do exist for this topic. Eelipe (talk) 04:04, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article lacks citations to reliable, secondary sources, and I am not finding any either. Yilloslime (talk) 01:15, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep by the GNG. The article is supported by multiple sources, identified by me in in the comment above and within the article itself. More sources exist. No compelling case for deletion has been made. The deletion rationale mentions sources, yet only critiques references. It selectively focuses on three references that support the article's content, while ignoring the Israel Channel 12 news item that supports notability. On the downside: the article is rather short, yet meets the threshold for viability. gidonb (talk) 02:25, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Dorian Wallace

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

previously deleted article not yet ready for namespace: non-WP:RS and WP:PRIMARY dependent BLP, no WP:SIGCOV by unrelated reliable sources. JFHJr (㊟) 04:38, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Sources are also not WP:INDEPENDENT- they're all either by the subject, promotion of the subject/subject's work, or not reliable (IMDB). Also fails notability guidelines per WP:MUSICBIO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthnope (talk • contribs) 05:01, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, I would like to mention that I am not very experienced in editing on the English Wikipedia and that I have been more active since June. I mainly contribute to the Serbian Wikipedia, where I am an administrator. On the Serbian Wikipedia, when an article has a "construction" template, no one edits it. So I assumed it was the same here. I haven't finished the article yet and plan to add more references. Here, I mostly write about musicians from jazz and classical music, and for them, there is often a problem with fewer available references. When I started editing here, an experienced user told me that the website allaboutjazz.com is considered a reliable source for musicians of this genre.I found Dorian Wallace while researching the article on John Sanborn (media artist), where his name was in red, and that led me to explore more about him. Could you please tell me which parts of the text are considered promotional? I did use his official website as a source, but I did not copy sentences directly. Dorian Wallace has been mentioned several times in The New York Times, but I haven’t included those references in the article because access requires a paid subscription. I do have a paid subscription—can I include those references in the article? The New York Times is a highly significant media outlet. If you allow me, I will add all the references I can find today and possibly tomorrow. If they are not adequate, you can delete the article. However, I kindly ask for your help in identifying which parts of the article should be removed to avoid promotional content. Thank you in advance for your guidance!--Марко Станојевић (talk) 14:55, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I have added several new references and will add a few more. There are also independent sources, such as The New York Times, but I haven’t included them because access requires a paid subscription. However, I will add them now. Here is the proof: [1], [2], [3].--Марко Станојевић (talk) 12:25, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

He is also mentioned in The Independent [4]--Марко Станојевић (talk) 13:13, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wallace has composed and collaborated with artists including Robert Ashley, John King, Dave Liebman, Frank London, Matt Marks, John Sanborn, Son Lux, Aleksandra Vrebalov, and Pamela Z.--Марко Станојевић (talk) 13:29, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Since the article was nominated for deletion, I have doubled the number of references, added neutral sources, and expanded the content. I would appreciate it if someone could review it again, as it is no longer the same article as when it was initially nominated for deletion.--Марко Станојевић (talk) 15:23, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Even with the added sources, I still don't see any WP:GNG-qualifying. They're a mix of WP:TRIVIALMENTIONs, WP:PRIMARYSOURCES, and affiliated sources. I don't see a pass on WP:NMUSIC either. Dclemens1971 (talk) 06:15, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Supermobile

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

Very minor element of the Superman universe; short article, pure plot summary and list of appearances. Fails WP:GNG. No idea where this could redirect, but always open to consider redirection a viable alternative to hard deletion (closer, please note: if anyone suggests a target, consider me to support it). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:01, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctant delete unless a merge target can be found. There's not really a good merge target for this. Perhaps to Superman#Merchandising given the one source mentioned here mentions it was used exclusively for that purpose? But even so it'd be a brief sentence. This is an extremely minor universe element, so there's not much to be retained here. If a good merge target is found I'll change my vote to merge, so ping me if something changes. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 02:56, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge with Superman in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. We need an equipment or technology section to that page if the Supermobile going to be redirected there as we already know that Batman has a similar section on his page. --Rtkat3 (talk) 02:07, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really feel another section is necessary unless Superman has a ton of technology that has discussion. Batman is discussed for a lot of his tech, and much of his tech has coverage. Superman has comparatively less. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 05:22, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The only other technology I recall him having is the Phantom Zone Projector, but it didn't have an article and was covered in the Phantom Zone page. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:40, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As an alternative, a section could be added to Fortress of Solitude for things located/stored there. There are more items than one might think.

That said, I think the best solution might be to Listify Category:DC Comics vehicles (and Category:Marvel Comics vehicles). If you look at AfD right now, several vehicles are up for discussion, and creation of List of DC Comics vehicles and List of Marvel Comics vehicles would resolve most of them, I think. - jc37 22:28, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The thing is that most of these have valid redirect targets, and the topics themselves are just non-notable. Supermobile is more of an exception in terms of places we can cover it than the norm. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 19:53, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Viraj Bahl

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

The article does not meet WP:GNG as the sources mainly focus on the subject interviews and statements, without providing significant coverage. Majority of cited sources focus on Viraj Bahl company growth (revenue & product launches) rather than his personal notability as an individual. Refs (India.com, TimesNowNews, DNA India) lack depth or are promotional in tone. Coverage in outlets ( Inc42 and ET Retail ) primarily discuss Veeba as a company, not Viraj Bahl individual legacy or influence beyond his role as founder. While his role as a judge on Shark Tank India(2024) adds to his public profile, this is recent and may not yet be supported by independent sourcing to confirm lasting notability failing WP:NBLP and many of the sources here are exactly what WP:NEWSORGINDIA tells us to watchout for.

Delete fails WP:GNG. If anyone is interested in creating an article about him then they should first try creating something about his company. It's his company that has got more coverage. CharlesWain (talk) 08:27, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Passes WP:GNG and NBASIC with significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV) in The Economic Times, Financial Times, India Times, and Navbharat Times, as well as an in-depth article in Business Outreach.

Keep: as Per Orange Sticker and DesiMoore, the article contains several significant coverage sources about the subject from reliable sources and plenty more online about him and his TV work.

Are you suggesting that all judges who appear on the show pay for their spots? That's your personal opinion and it's a separate discussion that would require solid evidence to back it up. Shark Tank is a popular global business show and any such claim would need to be backed by solid evidence. EmilyR34 (talk) 05:05, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, this satisfies WP:GNG and hence it should be there on Wikipedia.Adamantine123 (talk) 14:57, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep– I respectfully disagree with Ratnahastin. The points made by the editors above especially DesiMooreo and Monhiroe regarding WP:GNG and WP:NBIO are valid and can not be overlooked. Having generic bylines does not necessarily mean an article is unreliable or paid for. The sources highlighted by Orange Sticker are neutral with no promotional tone and are totally usable here. I also don't agree with the claim that all the sources in the article are unbylined or promotional. In fact, the majority of the article's sources (about 17) are clearly bylined and come from reputable news outlets. For instance, sources like Forbes India, GQ India, Outlook Business, and Indiatimes are reliable independent and well-established with editorial oversight and significant coverage. These sources aren't promotional and are quite usable in establishing this person's notability. Indian Express, Times Now, and Economic Times are also good sources. Additionally, being a judge on Shark Tank, one of the most popular global business television shows, is significant. This individual has received significant media attention for his appearance on the show and continues to get more coverage from independent media as shown by online searches.EmilyR34 (talk) 04:53, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You clearly have ignored all concerns about WP:NEWSORGINDIA, the articles you have cited [7][8][9] (two of them with generic bylines)are nothing more than puff pieces and should be discounted per the guidance. - Ratnahastin (talk) 03:33, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fully aware of WP:NEWSORGINDIA and everything I wrote above. Almost all media outlets, big or small, publish paid or sponsored content not just in India but worldwide. At the end of the day, media companies aren't nonprofits. Their main job is reporting, writing, editing, and presenting news to the public, but they mostly survive on advertising. You see a lot of display ads on their websites and advertisements in newspapers that's how they make money. That said major media outlets categorize paid stories separately. For example, The Times of India publishes them under "Spotlight," Hindustan Times under "Brand Media" or "Impact Feature," and Inc42 under "BrandLabs." These articles are usually puffery and easy to spot (not lecturing). You're right that they don't establish notability but that doesn't mean we should classify everything that isn't published under those specific categories in WP:NEWSORGINDIA just because they have generic bylines and only consider editorial content. Plenty of Wikipedia articles use sources without bylines. Major publications have strict editorial processes. Proper bylined articles go through rigorous review and fact-checking. I don't think all articles fall under WP:NEWSORGINDIA. Sources includingForbes India, GQ India, and Outlook Business, provide reliable, independent coverage with editorial oversight and are valid sources. As for the other articles, I wouldn't call them puffery. Puffery is exaggerated or misleading praise. EmilyR34 (talk) 05:23, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"publish paid or sponsored content" Yes with adequate disclosure, but that doesn't happen in India, you entirely missed the point of the guidance. Indian media is notorious for publishing paid news/coverage without any disclosure, they publish press releases, churnalist puff and promotional pieces as news, read User:Ms Sarah Welch/sandbox/Paid news and private treaties too. "I wouldn't call them puffery" - Did you even read them? They all have promotional tone. - Ratnahastin (talk) 05:35, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Let's not get into this sandbox as Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources/Perennial sources is the right place to discuss this- I understood what you're trying to prove with your comments, so let's focus on that.

"But that doesn’t happen in India," as you claim, then why did these publications introduce paid content categories and choose not to publish such content under "Staff Reporter" or an editor's name? How did we find out that publications label content as "Brand Media," "Brand Post," "Featured Content," "Partnered Content," "Spotlight," or "Brand Lab" to indicate paid material? And how were they reported and included in WP:NEWSORGINDIA? Isn't that a disclosure?

Just because some publications or journalists engage in this practice (posting paid content without proper disclosure) does not mean we should assume the same for every outlet. I'm not claiming media companies are NGOs (please refer to my previous comment carefully). However, making broad generalizations about all publications is neither accurate nor fair.

Notability should be evaluated solely based on the sources used- if independent sources provide sufficient coverage, the subject meets our notability criteria. If not, the content should be removed. The sources I presented above offer sufficient, independent, reliable, and significant coverage and meet WP:GNG. I will end it here. EmilyR34 (talk) 07:04, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
AfD is the proper place to judge sources which what we are doing here. "paid content categories and choose not to publish such content" - You are failing to understand that guidance is clearly about undisclosed paid editing in Indian media, these media houses publish press releases and puff pieces intermingled with regular news. - Ratnahastin (talk) 08:00, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, AfD is the right place to evaluate sources and that's what I pointed out in my comment above. However, it seems like instead of doing that we're lumping everything under WP:RSNOI. EmilyR34 (talk) 08:13, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sydney nurses anti-Israel remarks incident

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

WP:NOTNEWS. While this incident got plenty of coverage in primary sources, it is way too soon to suppose that will have WP:SUSTAINED coverage and will lead to secondary sources. There are also are aspects of WP:BLPCRIME, the two nurses don't need to have their names and actions highlighted for ever in an encyclopedia, they weren't notable and the event is in the end an anecdote, not a major event. Finally, I would like to compare this to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/United States proposed takeover of the Gaza Strip, a much more notable event which was deleted for NOTNEWS and similar considerations (but which has since continued to have real-world repercussions on a major scale). It seems hard to argue that that page warranted deletion, but as the arguments used there apply a hundred times more here, I don't see how the article on this minor incident can stay.

Random ozzy here, not all that up yo speed with wikipedia policy, or procedure, but I did do some basic reading before weighing in, I want to question if blpcrime is applicable here, given that the notibility of the topic isn't that a crime was commited, but that such a position was made by staff in a state run health facility.

I also think it is a notible event, as claims of antisemitism have been thus far not notible by present within the government health system. Where this has shot it into the spot light. It has launched a number of investigations by independent oversight bodies, not just of the incident, but of what is being claimed as a bigger problem. I feel as the event that is sparking such a major investivation, it gets notibility.

Finally, i am very much unsure why its being compared to somthing big don proposed, i don't see the similarities between his pie on the sky ramblings, and an actual event that took place.

Btw i lurk in the talk pages enough to know i need to be civil, and a few other bits, but please take my input with a grain of salt. I just really found the article helpful today in explaining to the wife what was going on, so thought I should throw in my 2 cents. 144.6.103.10 (talk) 11:32, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Sources like Financial Express, Times of India, and Hindustan Times (excluding the Mother's Day one, which satisfies WP:RSNOI's dogwhistles for advertorials) clearly satisfy GNG. TOI is (unfortunately) one of the best sources in India, and its concern at RSP is because their paid content's labeling is not immediately obvious; the source cited in the article that features Dynamo does not seem to have the paid disclosure and has clear neutral tone and byline, so I believe it is not an advertorial. I also doubt Bonadea's claim that the awards are not notable. Aaron Liu (talk) 12:50, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Aaron Liu, for your thoughtful assessment. I appreciate your detailed breakdown of the sources. Based on previous feedback, I have worked on improving the article by adding more independent and reliable sources and ensuring a neutral tone to address concerns about notability.

I have now included sources such as Inside Sports India, FirstPostz, Sportskeeda, Hindustan Times, an official X post by the Government, and an official post by the PUBG Mobile YouTube channel. These further establish significant coverage of Dynamo Gaming from reputable media outlets and official sources.

Regarding the awards, I have tried to verify their notability and coverage—if you have any recommendations for strengthening this section, I’d be happy to refine it further. Sarthak14331 (talk) 17:05, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
None of the sources you added help notability. Interviews aren't secondary, InsideSports looks sketchy and has very little information and thus no significant coverage, the government is a good source for that claim but does not provide significant coverage, PUBG mobile has a financial interest in promoting itself and thus isn't really secondary, and SportsKeeda is completely user-generated with little editorial credibility. Aaron Liu (talk) 17:37, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your feedback, Aaron Liu. I understand the concerns regarding the nature of the sources, and I appreciate the clarification on what qualifies as significant coverage.

I will look into adding more independent and in-depth sources that provide substantial coverage rather than just passing mentions or interviews. Based on your concerns, I will remove Sportskeeda and InsideSports as they do not meet Wikipedia's reliability standards. If you have any recommendations for reliable sources that could help establish notability, I’d be grateful for the guidance.

Regarding the government source, while it may not provide significant coverage on its own, it does help verify certain claims. I’ll also review the other sources and see if there are better alternatives that align with Wikipedia’s guidelines on reliable secondary sources.

Thanks again for your time and insights—I’ll work on improving the article accordingly. Sarthak14331 (talk) 17:59, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. MimirIsSmart (talk) 06:59, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your input. However, I have already improved the article by adding better sources and removing weaker ones like Sportskeeda. Additionally, I have fixed the promotional tone and added more reliable sources, including Hindustan Times,Times of India, IGN India, Financial Express, FirstPost, an official government X post have been included. If you believe the article still lacks notability, I would appreciate any guidance on additional sources that could help establish it. Sarthak14331 (talk) 09:21, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why you claim that you removed the Sportskeeda sources or why you seem to still think you added sources that establish notability. In fact this all seems like RefBombing. Aaron Liu (talk) 12:55, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Aaron Liu:I apologize for the confusion regarding the removal of the Sportskeeda reference. Upon reviewing the edit history, I see that you were the one who removed it, not me. I misspoke earlier, and I appreciate you pointing that out. Thank you for catching that.

Regarding Dynamo Gaming, I believe it meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines due to its significant presence in the esports community and the Indian gaming industry. It has been covered by reliable, independent sources that highlight its achievements and impact.

Thank you for bringing up the concern about refbombing. I want to clarify that my intention was not to overwhelm the article with references but to provide sufficient evidence of Dynamo Gaming's notability. Each reference I included is from a reliable, independent source and directly supports the content in the article. If any of the references seem excessive or unnecessary, I’d be happy to review and adjust them. I’m open to your feedback and would appreciate any suggestions on how to improve the sourcing further.

Pleasant Ridge, Jasper County, Indiana

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

So here we hit yet another conundrum in Jasper County, which seems to have more than its share, mostly due to Mr. Gifford of railroad fame. And this is plainly a point on a railroad (though not on his), as I find a tax assessment for the depot. The problem is that leaving out a soil series name use, everything is either using this to locate various properties/people, or records a series of industrial/agricultural facilities at the spot, of which there are three at present: a trailer manufacturer which occupies the westernmost and oldest spot, an ag co-op which may be the descendant of the oldest documented business, and a bio-energy plant which is a relative newcomer. The irregular lake to the north is the remains of the fourth business, a quarry which was apparently opened up around 1960. Both the co-op and the quarry have secondary documentation; interestingly, I also found this ad for a property sale, a tile factory which clearly wasn't here, but the agent of the seller apparently was. Or at least, he picked up his mail there. But once again, there's no sign anyone ever lived here. There was what looks from the air like a farmstead directly at the RR crossing in 1957, but it disappears after that; another disappears into the quarry property. Otherwise it's all farm fields surrounding the industry. Can anyone find something that actually describes the place? Mangoe (talk) 04:09, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Marvel Comics and MCU are two separate franchises, so a merge is not a viable option there.

Keep. This article was created in the first place so we would not need to have separate articles on each school and business associated with Spider-Man (all of which could survive as freestanding articles, given their representation across multiple media over decades).

While it may appear that way to you, there are several editors of these comic-related articles who would disagree with that assertion (based on the two other AfDs). Each of these entries could stand as individual articles but were agreed to be merged into this singular list via prior discussions and consensus in those that a singular list would better highlight all of these features related to the character as opposed to being separate articles. There is nothing which precludes such compiled lists from existing, and there are decent sources, with potential for more to be added rather than a complete deletion which would break countless links and leave out much information from this encyclopedia that our readers would be searching for. Trailblazer101 (talk) 02:19, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and consolidate into Spider-Man per Trailblazer. I was worried this would be some massive pile of information to sift through, but the info in the article is relatively concise. Barring the three locations with pre-existing articles, there are two schools and one prison. These locations contain a lot of unneeded information (Do we really need lists of minor characters without articles?) and can be trimmed quite easily to slot somewhere into the Spider-Man article. All locations, including those with articles, can be mentioned in brief there, with a summary explaining what each location is and why it is important to the Spider-Man mythos.

Keep Meets WP:CSC point 2. Jclemens (talk) 08:12, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
CSC only applies if none meet notability, which is blatantly false when three of the article's entries have their own articles. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 14:01, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
An all-or-nothing rule seems ill-considered here, given that Wikipedia has tons of lists of instances for which some are notable and have articles while others are not (e.g., List of mayors of Florence). BD2412 T 17:23, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Notability of a list is often based on the notability of the subject group. Largely unfamiliar with your hyperlinked article, but an important governmental position is likely to be more covered in sources than a list of fictional locations with no sourcing showcasing real world relevance. Many of the subjects in the list are entirely non-notable, and the subject itself isn't notable, either. Notability should not be inherited from the few locations that are notable, either.

Also note that CSC 2 says that "Before creating a stand-alone list, consider carefully whether such lists would be better placed within a "parent" article." CSC 2 isn't exactly a blanket keep statement, even if all the subjects fail notability. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 17:49, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My reasoning here is that Spider-Man is an article on a specific fictional character, not the entire universe this character occupies, which is separately notable. Although this universe is a subset of the Marvel Comics universe it has locations and characters (many of these separately notable) that arise from it and that are specific to Spider-Man media. This is reflected in fact that there are three separate film franchises, including the 1970s one, around this character and their environs completely unconnected to the MCU or anything else Marvel. Of course, there is also the MCU-adjacent film series, which also reflects the locations and character specific to the Spider-Man universe. Perhaps the title of this article needs to be adjusted to reflect that or the criteria for inclusion of content needs to be clarified, but it will not be at all difficult to demonstrate GNG worthy coverage at this fictional world I've tried with the character itself.

There is no indication the Universe of Spider-Man is a notable topic either, though. That's my main concern. Regardless of title, this is just a non-notable topic unless sourcing can be shown. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 05:19, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Which is why there should be allowed time to find sources to prove whether it is or not, rather than forcing an AfD with inconclusive information. This is something to hash out at the list talk, not here. AfD should be a last resort, not a garbage dumb to prove a point. Trailblazer101 (talk) 05:22, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm personally of the mind that if it's at AfD, we may as well stick with the discussion while it's here, but I see your point. Decided to do a quick source run to double check details. There's a fair few hits in News for Sony's shared movie universe, but that's already covered at Sony's Spider-Man Universe, and when Sony is removed, there's not much outside of trivial Wikipedia:VALNET hits, which don't count toward notability. There's a brief hit here [18], but that's very short and more discussing characters than locations. Outside of that, Books has little bar trivial mentions using it as a buzzword for Spider-Man media. I can't view every scholar hit, but there seems to be a lot of hits on the multiverse in Spider-Man, but again that's an entirely different subject. There may be some hits I missed but I did take a look through everything I could and found little. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 05:45, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cabin Creek, Indiana (neé Scott Corner, Indiana)

I have mixed feelings about this, in large part because it is an African-American place, and the documentation on these tends to be sketchy. The issue here, however, is that once again the article does not accurately relate what the thesis (which is the only source I could find outside GNIS) says about the place. The key failure is in the statement that "it was the home of several families [of] free African Americans", because it says that about the whole Cabin Creek Settlement. The "Scott's Corner" part pertains only to the store, due to the name of the proprietor. It doesn't actually say there was a town there, and it doesn't say that people lived at the corner. At least, that's how it reads to me. And it's basically an isolated intersection now, and furthermore, the aerials indicate that the two houses on the NE corner are recent, and that there was once another building on the SE corner which disappeared around 2010. It might have been the store at some point, or maybe not. It would be nice to find something else to go by, but for instance the county history (which was written early as these things go) doesn't mention it. So reluctantly I think this will need to go unless someone can find better verification. Mangoe (talk) 02:40, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Randolph now, eh? I was wondering what county was going to be next after Jay. ☺
The interesting thing is that the Tucker History does have an entire section (p.134) on the "Cabin Creek Colored Settlement" which has a lengthy laundry list of Scotts. It seems that Cabin Creek, Indiana (running from 40°10′07″N 085°09′45″W / 40.16861°N 85.16250°W / 40.16861; -85.16250 (mouth of Cabin Creek, Indiana) on the White River to 40°03′50″N 85°04′05″W / 40.064°N 85.068°W / 40.064; -85.068) is the real subject here. It has a fair number of sources both as the settlement and as a creek.
The severalfold irony is that the rôte GNIS mass-importers did not give it to us because (a) the GNIS record had it marked as "stream" not "ppl", and (b) the second GNIS record for Cabin Creek that said it was an alternative name for Lamb Ditch, which leads from Cabin Creek at 40°08′38″N 85°08′02″W / 40.144°N 85.134°W / 40.144; -85.134 (mouth of Lamb Ditch, Indiana) past its name at 40°07′16″N 085°07′46″W / 40.12111°N 85.12944°W / 40.12111; -85.12944 (label of Lamb Ditch, Indiana) right to this "Scott Corner", which in turn the GNIS said was "canal" with no clue that it was part of the Cabin Creek true populated place that is in the history books.

Super culture

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

"Super culture" doesn't seem to be an established term in anthropology. The book referenced actually says "To correspond with the term "sub-culture", a new term "super-culture" might be invented..." which suggests to me this is a term that was only used by few people. I don't think this warrants a redirect to "Culture", given that "Super culture" would be a very uncommon search term if it's not in use in anthropology.

Ken Miyagishima

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

Former mayor of Las Cruces, New Mexico, which has a population of ~110k. Looking at the List of mayors of Las Cruces, New Mexico, the only one besides Miyagishima who has a Wikipedia page is Albert Johnson, who is obviously notable as the first black mayor anywhere in New Mexico. I don't see an argument for why Miyagishima rises above the notability level of a standard Las Cruces mayor. Between the news coverage already cited on the page and what I could find on Google, everything seems pretty run of the mill to me. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 01:09, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kumawood

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

No evidence of notability. Three deadlinks and all but one of the remainder are affiliated or interviews. Only the BBC source reliably confirms the existence of Kumawood. Searches reveal social media sources but nothing that amounts to a WP:RS. Fails WP:GNG Velella ^{Velella Talk} 23:50, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Per nom. Nothing that configures notability or any relevant redirection to WP:ATD. Svartner (talk) 10:12, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: if you search for news coverage about this award you will find plenty, especially from local news outlet. Have you consider these? FuzzyMagma (talk) 22:30, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: No consensus yet, but "keep" !voters are invited to share specific sources rather than asserting notability or linking to a list of search results.

Alexander Woodman

A promotional vanity page and almost certainly an WP:AUTOBIO by a non-notable individual. Fails WP:NOTRESUME, WP:NOTPROMO. Fails WP:GNG for lack of WP:SIGCOV in independent, secondary, reliable sources. Fails all criteria of WP:NACADEMIC as a relatively junior researcher with a low to mediocre h-index of 7 and no evidence of passing on any other criterion. The sources are entirely limited to institutions with which he was or is affiliated, or to his own articles. WP:BEFORE search turns up nothing else qualifying.

Delete for reasons given above. FYI: I and another editor removed large amounts of content - mine because my opinion was that it did not contribute to notability and the other editor stated reason as content was promotional. So the cuts were not of content that would support keeping the article. David notMD (talk) 04:34, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
