See the previous nomination - consensus was drawn-out but of the four editors involved three were in favor of deletion on grounds of Original Research, alternatively creating a new page with a new focus similar to this, with the problem boiling down to it not being marked whether any mesoscale discussion is considered "mesogamma" - each item on the list has to be determined by a Wikipedia editor.

Feels like given the 2nd AFD was just closed today by Malinaccier as no consensus (and the first AFD in 2023 was closed as keep), this should have been discussed with the closer first and then perhaps brought up at WP:Deletion review if you still think the close was incorrect, which in part says Discussions to rename the article can continue outside of AfD.Skynxnex (talk) 16:09, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, or merge. Looking on Google Scholar, this seems to be a different concept than Portable Distributed Objects. The article could use some clarification for its uses, particularly for translation, but I see enough notability for it to stay. — BerryForPerpetuity(talk)16:02, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete + comment I looked at this more and also read WP:ANYBIO further. I dont see an exactly "well known" award. Read this quote from WP:ANYBIO: The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times; I feel that just the "Esquire Man 2023" award and the "Forbes 30 Under 30" award just don't fit this rule- I dont exactly think these are major.( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Cooldudeseven7join in on the tea talk12:19, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This person is only notable for achieving second place in a reality TV show. Nothing else about here is notable. There are references from a variety of sources but again these only relate to her appearance in one series of of the TV show and nothing else. Per WP:NOTDIR we don't have to have articles on every participant in a reality show, surely only the winner is (borderline) notable but people rarely remember who came second. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:42, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – she still achieves SIGCOV as there are various independent sources talking about her and her life (especially her wig business). Just because she didn't win doesn't automatically mean she's not notable. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 12:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, leaning Delete I read the talk page message, but I do see a few problems- an NPOV violation is stated. I see that there still can be original research with the sources- however we will have to double check to make sure it hasn't been fixed. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Cooldudeseven7join in on the tea talk12:23, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Aside from the direct quotes, the computations and expositions appear to be original (and, although this does not appear relevant to wikpedia policy, I should say incorrect). I did read through them myself: they were not fixed. The section on "Fictitious forces in polar coordinates" and "two terminologies" is pertinent: the article claims that there are two separate definitions or uses of the term "fictitious force", in particular the centrifugal force - one related to coordinates and the other related to non-inertial frames. More specifically, it argues that centrifugal force terms arise in polar coordinates *in inertial frames*. The citations do not back up these claims. Even if this were edited or flagged for editing, this viewpoint propagates through the entire article, and the numerous uncited computations/expositions. Moreover, it is not clear that this topic requires its own article. Graphitr (talk) 13:49, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The subject is not notable: the article was created by the subject himself (COI violation) and the sources are either unreliable or questionable, with LInkedIn and Spotify being used; there is one source that is reliable in some cases, Apple Music, however here it is not, it is a podcast that probably features the subject talking. Some of the sources, like this one, were written by the subject himself. 750h+08:55, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I created Draft:Priya Hassan and despite it being well sourced, it was rejected at AfC. Now a different user, recreated the draft topic but as an article albeit with barely any sources and only 1 reliable source. The draft was deleted but I requested at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. All of the sources on the draft were interviews mostly.
Unneccesary AfD, I put a PROD on the draft but creator removed it. Likely not notable as a director due to lack of wide spread non interview (primary) sources. If this article needs to be kept, it needs to be merged with the draft. The draft had many sources from here [1], many of which relate to the production of the films themselves, not her. DareshMohan (talk) 07:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: and merge the Draft into it (that was deleted at the time of creation. However, why was DareshMohan's draft rejected?). She meets WP:DIRECTOR in my view; the two films she directed seem notable enough. She does qualify for a page. Mushy Yank (talk) 11:37, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and SALT should have been speedy G4 IMHO - the sources remain the same. Interesting that Jenny Atkinson's sole contribution to Wikipedia is to create this article (impressive from a standing start, no?) and slam it straight into Mainspace.

Comment. There are many episodes on YouTube. It's clearly a real cooking TV show in Pakistan. Not surprisingly there aren't any sources in English, although there are lots of cooking blogs and pinterest posts in English by fans of the chef and his recipes.

Delete - per nomination, being on a school board is not notable. Even so, much of the article describes what the whole board did, with no indication of whether he contributed to those activities.--Gronk Oz (talk) 09:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/Move to Draft - Article reaches both general notability guidelines as established by Wikipedia standards as well as subject specific guidelines for a politician. A school board position in New Jersey is a state level office , thus reaching notability under subnational politician rules. Since an individual or role not accorded presumed notability may still reach notability thresholds through the general notability guidelines, it is important of note that the individual was the youngest muslim elected to public office in the United States (relevant see: Bushra Amiwala). It is important to remember that "notable" is not a synonym for "famous".
Sources cited are reliable, secondary sources of significant press coverage, which has primarily appeared in print or on regional air (TV/radio), and has since been archived. BernieBruh (talk) 11:47, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:NPOL and WP:SIGCOV. Local school board office holders and coverage of those positions is considered WP:ROUTINE historically at AFD; and dismissed under WP:NOTNEWS.

Collection of quotes showing no evidence that "Trump effect" exists as a well-defined, studied concept. There's also a big issue of WP:RECENTISM about defining it as the specific effect of Trump's 2024 reelection, given that previous iterations of the same idea were repeatedly deleted in 2016, in 2017 and in 2023.

Odd fork of Vehicle registration plates of China. Another editor redirected it there, but was reverted with the (dubious, in my opinion) reason that "zh wiki has two separate articles". Most of the content here duplicates Vehicle registration plates of China and I can find no compelling reason to keep a fork. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 23:40, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or Redirect to retain the functionality of the language switcher from zh.wp. The xtools reports for the zh articles are pretty interesting: the vehicle registration plates article is slightly older, but the civilian vehicle registration plates article has fifteen times as many inlinks and sees three times as much traffic. Both have similar numbers of edits and distinct editors. This isn't an argument for or against any course of action here, but the fork is somewhat mystifying. Folly Mox (talk) 11:59, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Vehicle registration plates of China. Technically a merge is okay, but the overlap here is massive, making a merge unnecessary. For instance, most of the "civilian" article consists of the list of prefixes by province, which is already included in its entirety in the main article. I consider the "civilian" article a content fork and it should not be kept. Toadspike[Talk]08:46, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Massive overlap. This is a plausible topic, but it is untenable with this cross-article organizational issue. Redirecting does not remove significant content. The article can be restored when editors decide to treat this is a proper spinoff, when they figure out what to put where and how to summarize what was left at the parent article. The current state of things is not helpful to readers.—Alalch E.15:24, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge all toBash Luks and copy edit/trim for encyclopedic tone. While I can understand the need to cleanup after a sock editor with a coi, the referencing in this case is not bad. The articles use multiple reliable news sources from Uganda and Ghana where Bash Luks and/or Lot Fire Records are the primary subject. The Kampala Dispatch and Tower Post are reputable newspapers. News Ghana is a reputable news portal. Capital Radio (ie 91.3 Capital FM) is also reputable. There is certainly enough reliable secondary coverage to support an article on Bash Luks per WP:BASIC/WP:GNG. At this point I think Lot Fire Records would be better covered in that article because I don't think the record label as yet passes WP:NCORP. The list is small, and doesn't need to be a stand alone article.4meter4 (talk) 03:51, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV (barely). There definitely needs to be some serious pruning of bad promotional sources and writing, reformatting of the article, editing for encyclopedic tone, etc. However, there are four articles among the references which are independent significant coverage about Davide Lombardi; three of which are in the LightSoundJournal, which is a professional publication for light and audio engineers, and one of which is from an Italian media source. He works as a sound engineer for notable artists, so I am leaning on the keep side.4meter4 (talk) 03:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A large, entirely summary-style article covering the home planet of the Daleks, Skaro. All sources used in the article are either primary or information used for basic verification, and a BEFORE for Skaro turned up a lot of fantastic sources on the Daleks, but Skaro was only mentioned in passing in many of these. Skaro received reference in a lot of summaries of the Daleks and their origins, but did not receive any analysis separately from the Dalek species. I searched through News (Which only turned up plot summary and trivial mentions of the planet), Books (Which turned up several fantastic sources for the Dalek species, but only trivial mentions of the planet), and Scholar (Which turned up similar results to Books.) This subject is not individually notable of the Daleks, and is only mentioned in passing in every source that mentions it, lacking any form of SIGCOV that would mean it would pass the GNG. A logical AtD is to the Daleks, as it is their home planet and mentioned multiple times throughout the article in the species' backstory. Has one ever considered Magneton?

This was and is a rail point. Formerly it was a crossing of two lines, and the building displayed in the article was the tower which controlled the interlocking. Now the track going north has been abandoned and there is only a junction with the southern line; all of this trackage now belongs to the Kankakee, Beaverville and Southern Railroad. There is a farm immediately adjacent, but it is a farm, not a town. Mangoe (talk) 01:15, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, he received a "bloody beating" according to that 1997 article. According to boxrec.com he lost both of his pro boxing fights. That coverage was essentially a report in a Syracuse paper on a bottom of the card fight in Syracuse. Otherwise, all of the other sources are from two Wilkes-Barre papers where he lived. None of which appear to be notable coverage, plus multiple references from the same source count as 1 source (at most). Competing in amateur MMA fights has never shown WP notability. Still not seeing WP:GNG, or any SNG, being met. Papaursa (talk) 22:45, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Whether you think that his accomplishments are insignificant is irrelevant; whether he meets the MMA SNG is also irrelevant – the only factor that goes into determining notability at this point is whether the coverage is significant. That's it. GNG makes no mention of "exceptions" on if the coverage is for MMA fights – the only thing that matters is if there's "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Feature stories like this are clearly SIGCOV and being local is irrelevant (not to mention there was other articles I didn't list, including a few stories from Texas). He meets GNG – he's notable. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:08, 12 November 2024 (UTC)\[reply]
There are millions of articles on people in small town papers who aspire to be professional singers, athletes, actors, etc. Even though they never succeed, you're claiming that coverage is sufficient to show WP notability? Or are you influenced because he has notable brothers (which should have no impact on his notability)? I never claimed MMA notability was required, but some kind of achievement is, or at least coverage that is more significant than millions of others in the world have received. Papaursa (talk) 21:02, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are millions of articles on people in small town papers ... you're claiming that coverage is sufficient to show WP notability? According to WP:GNG, significant coverage is sufficient. The notability guidelines mention nothing of excluding coverage for accomplishments if one (arbitrarily) deems them as insignificant. Additionally, I don't think that there's "millions" of people who "never succeed in their aspirations" who receive feature stories in moderately large newspapers in several states across the U.S. (Texas, Pennsylvania, New York, etc.) BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:23, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes WP:SIGCOV based on the sources provided by Beanie. There’s sufficiently detailed press coverage across time to meet our general notability guidelines. SNGs like the one on MMA are only one pathway to notability, and those guidelines are not meant to replace and subvert GNG. Also, any article meeting GNG in athletics will meet WP:SPORTSBASIC which this article does.4meter4 (talk) 16:15, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
