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

Not eligible for G4. Searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from independent, reliable sources to support meeting WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:09, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lazar Kuburović

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

Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject. Amateur level in Judo, "sport jujitsu" does not have guidelines and does not meet criteria for WP:GNG. Non-olympian, Non-notable martial artist. "Top sport" reads like a vanity page.

Tanzeel Altaf

Masscreated LUGSTUB. Fails WP:NSPORTS.

It seems Altaf later became a lower-league cricket player in England but I don't see significant coverage of Altaf as such in the reports around this. Just the usual passing-mentions. (PS - this is the last Cricket bio I'll be nominating for AFD in this series of Lugnuts cricket bios that were all created within a matter of minutes on 15 November 2015 and have never been improved on since).

WRC Rally Magazine

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

This article clearly fails the Wikipedia Notability guidelines for TV. This is a TV show that seems to have been a one-off for the Monte Carlo Rally, lasting for just one season. This smells of promotion, too. There also aren't any citations, and there has been a citations tag since December 2009, 16 years ago. This article must be deleted.

Masscreated LUGSTUB. No credible assertion of notability under WP:NSPORT. I see some passing mentions in match reports and an interview on Sky Sports (which is not an independent source since it's him that's talking, and doesn't contribute to notability).

A Point of Law

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

This book does not pass Wikipedia notability guidelines for books, and the author barely passes. One book in this series was nominated for the Edgar Allen Poe Award, but not this book. This page has had a "no citations" tag for the past eleven years and there are still no citations. This book has won no awards, is not on any lists, and is not a bestseller. Not every random book deserves a Wikipedia page. This book can remain in a bibliography list on the author's page, (John Maddox Roberts), but does not deserve its own page. It also violates Wikipedia guidelines for fiction, given that it consists almost entirely of a plot summary and character list. AnonymousScholar49 (talk) 10:34, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to SPQR series. The book is technically notable — I found reviews in Kirkus Reviews and Publishers Weekly, giving it the weakest possible pass of WP:NBOOK. But with a book like this one that is only barely notable, I think it makes far more sense to just redirect to an article about the series. MCE89 (talk) 10:52, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nasir Ahmed (Pakistani cricketer)

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

Masscreated LUGSTUB. The highly generic name makes this one practically impossible to even verify beyond the Cricinfo link (and Cricinfo isn't always that reliable) but there is no evidence of anything beyond passing mentions in match reports that do not satisfy WP:SIGCOV.

Wajihuddin

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

Masscreated LUGSTUB. The existence of this article casts serious doubt on Cricinfo as a source, since "Wajihuddin" is essentially a surname, with anyone having this name typically being referred to as Wajihuddin Ahmed or Mohammed Wajihuddin. It is entirely possible that the Wajihuddins referred to in the reports collected on Cricinfo are not the same person.

Fails WP:NSPORTS as there is no significant coverage in reliable sources and the only claim to notability is participation-based. FOARP (talk) 10:18, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify if AfD closes before 3 May, keep if it is after 3 May (leaning on WP: CRYSTAL BALL). Is it unnecessary now? Probably yes, given that the only results for now is the walkover. I don't see a need to delete now because when the polling day arrives on 3 May (which is not too far off), there may be so many happenings that one may opt for the summary of the results on the main article and have the details be written on this page. Keeping this in draft for the time being allows for a quick recovery if and when the article is needed on 3 May. – robertsky (talk) 11:12, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mohammad Hamza

Masscreated LUGSTUB. Sole claim to notability is playing for Lahore. Having possibly one of the most generic names possible in Pakistan makes this one difficult to assess.

Delete. I couldn't find anything on Trove apart from a couple of brief mentions in match reports ([1] [2]). There seems to have been another cricketer named Herbie Smith who played in New South Wales, but about 20 years earlier. Couldn't find anything to indicate notability here.

Comment. There are quite a few results on Trove — these are some of what I found: [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]. Most of them are quite brief, but they do imply that he attracted a fair bit of attention and was regarded as a star player for Richmond. Undecided on whether there's enough there to satisfy WP:SPORTBASIC. MCE89 (talk) 10:10, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The last one of those might be good since it at least tells you what he did for a living. Stuff around going to/coming back from England less so, especially the speculative pieces. Could withdraw on this. FOARP (talk) 11:03, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bhopal Bharat Teerth Express

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

It is a random short-lived train service. There is no source that I could find for the "Coach Composite" [sic] information in the article, even if it was notable. It seems to come under WP:NOTGUIDE and WP:NOTDB.

There are 1000+ articles about individual Indian train services (though at least most of them are about regular services, rather than one-offs like this). See Category:Indian_Railways_trains.

There has been some prior discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barauni–Lucknow Express on this kind of article, which concluded that such generic articles might be worth deleting. There have been several subsequent individual nominations of similar articles, with most of the recent ones being successful.

Would it be appropriate to nominate big batches of such articles for AfD? How big a batch is appropriate? NS-Merni (talk) 09:23, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note that sources for a cricketer playing in Australia over that time period are likely to be mainly print sources - an inexpert search on Trove (Jack Green Cricket) or (Jack Green Victoria) gives large numbers of false positives, but there does seem to be some articles that appear to be about the person in question, although not necessarily about his first class matches. [14], [15], [16], [17] and [18] are examples.Nigel Ish (talk) 09:25, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the article may be bad, but that's not a reason to delete it. The topic passes WP:GNG with many sources specific to the topic showing up with a Google Scholar search. Stockhausenfan (talk) 07:42, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per TNT, or redirect to an article worth reading. I have an open mind on whether we need an article on the topic at the moment, because my Google search produced mostly copies of this article[[20]], material about enzymes that failed to mention enzyme modulators[[21]], or mentioned them as a fuzzy after-thought, and very few genuinely useful articles (such as this [[22]]). There are also articles that talk about modulators of enzymes as possible pharmaceuticals, but it's not clear to me whether they support the idea of "enzyme modulators" as a specific term, or whether this is just natural language (see [[23]] where many of these are titles referring to enzyme modulators but they're just trying to say that a class of pharmaceutical modulates the activity of a particular target enzyme; it's like jam-jar labels, they label jam jars, we talk about jam jar labels but there's nothing special about them beyond being labels that happen to have been stuck on a jam jar. But the fact remains that this article is three sentences. The first is a dictionary definition. The second is only partially correct. The third is a quote taken out of context and entirely incomprehensible (and irrelevant). There's nothing here worth salvaging. Our readers would be much better served by something like being redirected to Allosteric modulator or something similar. Elemimele (talk) 11:46, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The term is just a broad label encompassing enzyme activator, enzyme inhibitor, and allosteric regulator. A large number of Google Scholar hits for such a general term isn't surprising; you'd probably get a lot of hits for "high-speed synthesis"; that doesn't mean the dozens of uses of that term would be a single cohesive topic. I could accept a redirect to enzyme regulation if people feel strongly against deletion, but I don't think there's anything here to save. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 11:54, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I have been working with enzymes, and especially enzyme kinetics, since 1965, and I have never met this term before today. It seems to have been arbitrarily invented by a virologist whose contributions to enzymology have been minimal. Insofar as we need a term that embraces both inhibitors and activators the one established in the literature is "modifier", standard at least since it was used by Botts and Morales in 1954.

This article fails WP:GNG with flying colors. First, notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. If you remove the relationship this person has with Lady Gaga, then you would be hard pressed to find anything written about them. The subject may be accomplished, but there are absolutely no independent, reliable sources speaking on the subject in a way that isn’t mere mention. How can the CEO of a company have their own article before the company they are the CEO of is even notable enough for its own article? Marry Lady Gaga? Doesn’t meet the notability requirement.

hatted obvious LLM-generated content. Write your own ideas yourself

Keep The proposed deletion of Luigi Mangioni’s Wikipedia page is not a neutral act of moderation — it is a strategic erasure of a flashpoint figure in one of the most emotionally and ethically charged public debates in recent memory. Mangioni is not simply a private citizen. He is the alleged perpetrator in the killing of Brian Thompson — a pharmaceutical executive whose role in predatory healthcare pricing has made him a symbol, to many, of systemic cruelty.

Whether one views Mangioni as a criminal, a martyr, or something more complex, the undeniable truth is this: he has become a folk hero to those who see the American healthcare system not as broken, but as functioning exactly as it was designed — to extract, deny, and discard. Mangioni’s name has been scrawled on protest signs, whispered in online forums, and turned into meme-lore precisely because he is perceived to have acted against an untouchable class of profiteers who engineer suffering with legal impunity.

This cultural resonance — whether one finds it inspiring or horrifying — is historically significant. Attempts to sanitize the public record by removing Mangioni’s page under claims of "lack of notability" or "policy violations" are transparent acts of narrative control. Wikipedia cannot claim to be the encyclopedia of the people while selectively pruning the entries that make people uncomfortable.

Deleting this page is not about standards — it’s about silence. And silence, in the face of public outrage, systemic injustice, and a growing mythos surrounding Mangioni, is complicity. Let the page stand. Let history record what happened — and let people decide what it means. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.87.13.143 (talk • contribs) 07:48, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Uruli

Sardesai, Govind Sakharam (1946) dedicated 2-3 (I'm overestimating here) lines to the actual conflict, Subrahmanian, N. (1979) mentions this conflict in passing (not by the name it is named as), same thing with Mehta, Jaswant Lal (2005), the only academic tertiary source covering the Marathas , Gordon Stewart (2005) does not even mention this battle, although it is cited here. This article completely fails notability guidelines, there is no significant coverage for the battle and even the cited sources don't call it what the author has named this article.

You are incorrect, the source only has a few lines for the actual conflict itself, most of what you are considering as coverage is in fact about the background and events that happened after it. Your source is also too old to be used and all the relevant detail about the conflict is just this:

On 8th December Nizam Ali occupied Chas, 20 miles north of Poona and pushed on to Uruli less than one day’s march from that capital. Here his advance was halted. His devastation of the places of sanctity had already estranged his Maratha subordinates and sedition was being successfully employed in his ranks. Ramchandra Jadhav and Mir Mughal, Nizam Ali’s brother, deserted him and came over to the Peshwa. This defection in his forces created a serious situation for Nizam Ali, who came to be practically surrounded at Uruli and was compelled to beg for terms to secure his retreat.

Can you provide the full page? From the snippet it says: "Urali, Battle of 140". Ratnahastin (talk) 06:29, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maniacal ! Paradoxical (talk) 08:43, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is what actual "battle" coverage looks like:

he marched directly upon Poona at the head of a powerful army of sixty thousand men, with a determined intention to capture the nerve-centre of the Maratha power and to prostrate it permanently. Fire and desolation marked the trail of Nizam Ali’s invading forces. By destroying Toka and Pravara-Sangam, two great centres of Hindu religious sanctity, in November, he added fierce fanaticism to his political aims. He dug up Sindia’s palaces at Shrigonda for obtaining hidden treasure. The menace so quickly approached Poona, that it then created a scare, in consequence of which the Peshwa’s family and some of the general populace removed themselves for safety to Lohgad, Purandar, Sinhagad and other places.

At this trying moment Madhavrao and his uncle sent urgent calls to Janoji Bhosle and other Sardars to join the Peshwa’s standard,

so that a force of about seventy thousand was assembled by the end of October. With this army they at once moved to oppose the enemy and bring him to submission. Avoiding a general action, they harassed the progress of the enemy at every turn, and wore down his spirit in several skirmishes which took place at Ahmadnagar, Shrigonda, Hivre and Bhuleshvar on the enemy’s route towards Poona. On 8th December Nizam Ali occupied Chas, 20 miles north of Poona and pushed on to Uruli less than one day’s march from that capital. Here his advance was halted. His devastation of the places of sanctity had already estranged his Maratha subordinates and sedition was being successfully employed in his ranks. Ramchandra Jadhav and Mir Mughal, Nizam Ali’s brother, deserted him and came over to the Peshwa. This defection in his forces created a serious situation for Nizam Ali, who came to be practically surrounded at Uruli and was compelled to beg for terms to secure his retreat.

I'm not even quoting the aftermath or prelude of the battle. It's just you conveniently left out other parts. Subrahmanian's citation was for your "sources don't call it what the author has named this article" question, it surely doesn't have more than half a page of coverage. Although the gap is filled by Sardesai. Maniacal ! Paradoxical (talk) 09:03, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Let's break down the so-called "significant coverage", it seems you didn't even read the quote you have pasted here:

November, Nizam destroys Toka and Pravara-Sangam.
October, Large forces assembled by Marathas.
December, Nizam occupies Chas.
December-January, Nizam's further conquests are halted at Uruli(the actual conflict begins)
January, Nizam is surrounded and his men defect.

The real conflict only begins at Uruli in January, you have simply cited the conflict preceding here in this quote, the way Sardesai is discussing the conflict, it is obvious that he is treating this battle as a part of the broader conflict between Marathas and the Nizam, there is therefore no significant coverage about the battle in the sources, it is irrelevant what Subramanian calls it ( he doesn't even call it what the it is titled as), if he doesn't cover the battle. The quote i posted earlier is all there is. Taking an excerpt out of an outdated work and spinning it off into an article is completely unwarranted, this page should not have been created in the first place.

Keep - Passes WP:GNG, SIGCOV exists in the sources (Mankekar, D. r (1976) U.N Day (1978) Hooja, Rima (2006)) this is a chain of nominations made within minutes of one another and complete falls afoul of WP:BEFORE. CharlesWain (talk) 14:37, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Baseless aspersions. The sources you have given don't go beyond a few lines of passing mentions:
- Day: Passing mentions, even the author de-legitimated it with "So called" prefix.
- Hooja: "The armies of Mewar and Malwa clashed at Sarangpur in 1437. The latter army was conclusively routed here." - That's it.
- [31]: Not accessible, no sign of coverage either.
- Mankekar: "The engagement that followed saw Mohmad Khilji routed" - That's it.
Har Bilas is an unreliable source, now prove me wrong by citing a source covering the battle for at least 2 paragraphs. Shakakarta (talk) 10:50, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
how is har bilas unreliable source? Aryanisking (talk) 18:39, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep : @Shakakarta, @Heraklios and @Rawn3012 This is one of the most important battles of 15th century in northern India. The sultan himself being captured by Kumbha forces—an event that highlights the importance of this article. Many notable (WP:RS) sources cover this event. Though there is scope for improvement of article by addition of information from reliable sources, there is no such need for deletion. Check these sources, they cover the battle in more detail; [32] and [33] though preview is limited. You could use Sarangpur/1437/etc. in search option to look for this battle. I had offline copies in library but School is closed due to summer vacations. Someone can improve the article based on the info available in the books if they have it online. I have already asked Rawn for it as he often edit articles related to history of Mewar. Mohammad Umar Ali (talk) 20:50, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Given the debate over the sources, perhaps a source assessment table is in order, or some input from some of our seasoned AfD participants and source analysts.

Improperly sourced WP:BLP cited largely to tweets. The basis to notability here is two conspiracies propagated by this person, which were then debunked. This material does not prove notability for the person especially for the higher standards on a BLP. There is almost no material here about the topic it claims to be about (the person), and barring a single source (AP which is fine) the sources do not contain sigcov about him.

Regardless of how this turns out, thank you Flyingphoenixchips for the reminder about WP:ATD-T. For reference, the relevant guideline is Wikipedia:Notability (people). I think the only sources for this biography that have significant coverage (Honei, Vanguards of Wesea, SEED Cell, and iU) are either not independent or not reliable. Honei could be independent. I consider them to be basically human interest reporting, which is generally not as reliable as news reporting, and I don't see evidence of reliability (like editorial oversight) to refute that generalization. Vanguards of Wesea is – per its website – an initiative of the Wesean High School Students Forum. It looks like its stories are produced from nominations that are then assessed according to that website's definition of notability. Despite the nominations being reviewed by editors, I am skeptical of that source's independence from the subject. SEED Cell and the iU interview don't seem independent. In my search for sources, I only found newsheads.in. That source ended up on the spam blacklist, so I won't spend too much time evaluating it. Overall, I don't see evidence of notability.

Yep, deletion discussion would be the best course of action to get a consensus on notability! :) For now I have added the additional references! I am kinda on the grey area on whether the subject is fully notable or not either. However would appreciate input from other editors here. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 01:32, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I would not like to support a keep or a delete for this article, as I do agree with most of what PrinceTortoise had to say. https://www.iuemag.com/u20/is/an-inspiring-young-entrepreneur-from-the-northeast-india-Prajal-Regmi IU] is definitely not a reliable source. As for SEED Cell it seems reliable to me, because the article itself only reports of the person winning an award, and I do think this might be independent of the subject and is only reporting news about entrepreneurship from the state. As for Honei I defnitely am on the edge. Yes, it is definitely a case of human interest reporting. As for Vanguards of Wesea I do feel the subject is definitely independent from the article. There is a named author for each article, and from their website they state that "Vanguards of Wesea is strictly an encyclopedia... All nominations undergo thorough verification, and our editors ensure each person's notability through third-party sources and confirm that their achievements are legitimate." I do not see anything there that might show tht the subject is not independent from them. But again, yes, the editors listed all seems to be minors so the quality of journalism might be questioned. Not to seem ageist, but I would like to see what others have to say for the same. But yes, I myself have not been able to find any other sources apart from this.

Previously soft deleted, the new page does not establish notability and is largely reliant on self-sourcing. This party is not registered with Elections Canada and is not running candidates in the 2025 Canadian federal election. Wellington Bay (talk) 00:10, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Worth noting that the topic of the article that was soft deleted was a completely different organisation. The previous article was of an unregistered fringe Maoist group, while the new (current) article is about an unregistered fringe Trotskyist group. Regardless, like the previous article topic, this Revolutionary Communist Party has no in-depth coverage by reliable sources and should be deleted for failing WP:ORG.
