A WP:HOAX. From a few quick searches, the word "Gallocentrism" appears to refer only to a focus on France, not "an ethnocentric ideology that places a strong emphasis on the cultural, economical, historical, political and social significance of Gaul". Flounder fillet (talk) 22:40, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article also contains multiple references that are blatantly made up, including:
Two papers by John Smith in a nonexistent journal:

Smith, John. "Gallocentrism: Rediscovering Gaul in the 19th Century." Journal of European History, vol. 45, no. 2, 2017, pp. 189-210.

Smith, John. "Gaul and Its Legacy: An In-Depth Analysis." Journal of European History, vol. 25, no. 2, 2003, pp. 123-145.

Fails WP:GNG, Several articles authored by the subject are frequently cited as references; however, they have yet to receive significant mainstream media coverage (WP:SIGCOV). Jannatulbaqi (talk) 22:59, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not my reading of AUTHOR, but in any case Russ Woodroofe's reviews 1 & 3 above are both of The Origins and Development of the Tablighi-Jamaʿat (1920–2000). A Cross-county Comparative Study. Espresso Addict (talk) 04:32, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
NAUTHOR says that a collective body of work should have been the subject of multiple reviews. If it was mainly one work, then I would !vote for a redirect to that work, but I see one book with two reviews, and two other reviewed books. This is just about the minimum that I am looking for in NAUTHOR. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 05:19, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I see 1 & 3 above reviews are on same book. I will change my vote to weak keep because if we remove the sources on the page that are dead and unreliable then these are the only 4 reviews that remain that can be attributed to the page. RangersRus (talk) 10:07, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Weak Keep. All sources on the page are unreliable, dead domains, page not found and non-secondary independent. Fails WP:GNG, WP:NAUTHOR and WP:NBIO. The degree of significance of the subject and of role as writer is not enough to warrant a page on the subject. RangersRus (talk) 16:56, 20 October 2024 (UTC) but 4 reliable sources with reviews were found with one work having multiple reviews that makes the author pass WP:NAUTHOR. RangersRus (talk) 10:14, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Not sure why the rush to delete this. Several of the books look to have healthy citations in GS, and Russ Woodroofe has found multiple reviews. Merely having dead links on the article is not a deletion rationale. Espresso Addict (talk) 07:55, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I always make sure to preserve articles and only consider deletion after thorough investigation. I would advise other editors to follow the same approach: take your time, conduct careful research, and then provide your comments. Avoid rushing the process.

At first look, the BLP appears notable. However, by evaluating the coverage, I'm unable to locate any reference that meets GNG. The sources largely rely on tabloid journalism Norwegian publications such as Verdens Gang and Aftenbladet where sources #1, 5, 6, 7, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19, and 20 are written by the same reporter (Rolf J. Widerøe). The rest of the sources include unreliable Pakistani publications, and spam sources such as source #17 per this which was added as an archived source. Bosecovey (talk) 20:59, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An SPI has been filed against this editor for WP:BE. If proven, their vote should be removed. --— Saqib (talk I contribs) 09:48, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The use of a tabloid journalism source like Verdens Gang by an experienced editor raises a valid concern; however, the individual still meets the WP:GNG criteria.
Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 14:19, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
SheriffIsInTown, I’m not the only one using this source. If you consider it unreliable, please take it to WP:RSN. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 18:01, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless of publication's format (i.e. tabloid format or broadsheet), both journalists, Hans Petter Aass and Rolf J. Widerøe, are well-regarded in Norway and have received reputed awards like SKUP Award and Den store journalistprisen. I think we should create articles about them on English Wikipedia as well for their investigative journalism. Gheus (talk) 11:54, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@SheriffIsInTown According to Wikipedia:RSP#Tabloids They often repeat unverified rumors, have questionable fact-checking, and are often unsuitable for information about living people. Some sources are reliable but still do not help with notability, and lack of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject and still fail GNG.
It seems that the reporter writing for Verdens Gang and Aftenbladet, who has covered this topic extensively, has a clear conflict of interest. This shouldn't raise any valid concerns I guess. Bosecovey (talk) 00:11, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Papers that are in tabloid format aren't unusable. Tabloid journalism does not equal tabloid format. I don't know much about VG, but it seems to be widely used both on enwiki and Norwegian wiki. I can't find any obvious concerns about its journalism from a brief search. PARAKANYAA (talk) 10:33, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Verdens Gang is not a tabloid newspaper in the Sun/News of the World/New York Post/Bild sense of the word. Its journalists have won the investigative journalism prize time and time again. Geschichte (talk) 07:20, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article cites no sources. A Google search for "small castes" reveals no relevant results. I can't find any evidence anywhere that these castes were created by the occupying authorities. On the contrary, many of the castes listed here have their own articles on the wiki, and many of those articles seem to indicate a much more ancient history to those castes. The description of the Teli caste is nonsensical (oil tycoons?) and suggests that the content in this article may have been machine-translated from a non-English source. The one sourcethe article used to cite doesn't mention any of the content in the article. The content of the article is currently being included in AI-summaries for related searches, which is a concern if this information is not true. I challenge the community to either find sources for the content of this article or, if sources cannot be found, to delete it. -- LWG talk 20:36, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I was able to find some coverage of the subject in reliable sources (which I've added to the article), it's not enough to establish notability, and I wasn't able to find anything much more substantial (there are mentions in newspapers). The AllMusic biography ([24]) is very brief, and the AllMusic ([25]) and Exclaim! ([26]) reviews aren't particularly long (both less than 200 words). The other links in the article don't help establish notability, either (and the Punknews.org review isn't a staff review). toweli (talk) 20:27, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Canada. toweli (talk) 20:27, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Links in the article and mentioned above are all I find as well, I don't think they meet musical notability here. Oaktree b (talk) 20:33, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete fails WP:GNG. I also don't see significant coverage about the particular band members. ~
  • Delete. Since any basis for notability here would be at least 20 years old, I also ran a ProQuest search to check for older coverage that wouldn't have Googled — and while I got a good number of glancing namechecks of this band's existence, mainly in concert listings and/or coverage of other bands that they toured with, I found absolutely nothing that would constitute WP:GNG-building coverage about this band. But nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to pass GNG on the sourcing: the article was obviously trying for NMUSIC #5, "has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels", but a record label that exists only as a redirect to a larger successor company whose article is still poorly sourced clearly doesn't qualify as important enough to pass that criterion — and NMUSIC explicitly states that passage of its criteria still have to be properly sourced, and nothing in it ever confers any "no sourcing required because notability claim is asserted" freebies, so even if we accepted it as a sufficiently "important" label the article would still have to be better sourced than this anyway.

I find no independent coverage of this database. It does appear useful, but appears to be too soon to be a notable product. A BEFORE shows it's in use and blurbs about how the tool works, but it's from the tool itself.

While I would be fine with a redirect to University_of_Erfurt#University_projects, I don't think it's DUE there, and that has already been contested so merits more discussion. Star Mississippi 17:42, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep it, FactGrid was and is in a way part the official roll out of Wikibase as a common database software. The project was an official collaboration between Wikimedia and the University of Erfurt in 2018, and it is now probably the biggest Wikibase community outside Wikidata. The integration into Germany's National Research Data Infrastructure in 2023 has been the biggest move towards the institutionalization of the database. The platform is now an official recommendation for historical projects to use in Germany. It has projects in Berkeley, Barcelona, Budapest and Paris - with a 1 Million database objects and projects that participate with budgets up to € 900.000 it should no longer be a small website. --Olaf Simons (talk) 08:16, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ah. I was the one who originally WP:BLARed the article, and I admit I probably should have responded to the contesting of the redirection and maybe dropped a note or something, but I've essentially treated it as a contested PROD and did not follow up due to personal reasons. I had more or less forgotten about it by the time I had more time. I do stand by my original assessment, and still believe a redirect is the most appropriate option. While there are some sources, the depth of coverage in independent reliable sources (reliable in a general context) is highly limited, and I do not believe it would be possible to write a standalone article of any length from mostly those sources. In fact, with the state of available sources, I don't believe we would be able to expand much more than maybe 2 or 3 times the current text at University_of_Erfurt#University_projects. While that would be 10% of the current article, I do not believe that would be excessive to the point of being proscribed by WP:DUE, especially if other parts are also expanded.

This article has been deleted twice, in 2012 and 2014, for being a list article with an impossible-to-define subject that consists largely of original research. As far as I can tell, this current iteration suffers from the same issues, including selection bias toward English-speaking bands (is BTS not a boy band?) and questionable sourcing.

Notably, the sales numbers are pretty universally incidental to the subject of the sourced articles. In addition, the dates of the articles range from 1995 to 2018. While that doesn't totally preclude the article from existing, it's clear to see that these numbers are not an objective current ranking of sales, and the stretch to source implies that reliable rankings of this sort aren't currently out there. At the very least, the current article is drawing conclusions not made by the sources. Thesixthstaff (talk) 18:42, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Feels like WP:NOTNEWS to me. While Liam Payne was famous, he wasn't famous to the degree that Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain or Michael Jackson were that it would feel like having a separate page solely dedicated to his death would be warranted. What seems to me to be a good comparison would be the death of Matthew Perry , which nobody has decided warrants a standalone article. Wikipedia is supposed to be a summary of knowledge, and a lot of the detail in this article feels superflous. At 3,700 words currently, Liam Payne's article is also considerably below the 8,000 word limit where looking to split the article would be warranted, so I would support the selective merging of the content of this article back into that one.

  • Merge and redirect to Liam Payne#Death - I invite the next editor who is able, to WP:SNOW close this one. Yeah, he was in a super-popular boy band, but there's nothing of substance around allegedly being intoxicated and then falling from a balcony. The death itself, while sad, isn't, probably won't end up being as widely felt as the deaths of the King of Pop or David Bowie. Google didn't crash after Liam Payne died. It's hard to find this event notable beyond the collective public grief as expected from the death of any popular figure. Can't really even condone draftifying.

This is a procedural nomination by which the venue of the discussion that began at Miscellany for deletion is moved to AfD as the correct venue. At the time of my creating this AfD discussion, I have not expressed any advocacy or opinion on the matter. The MfD discussion is quoted below, including the real nomination and a single !vote:

  • Weak Delete I suppose. Keep I guess. I dunno. I'm on the borderline because some tiny but non-zero number of readers will be looking for a Eugene Robinson or Jean Robinson I suppose, and that's too many to go into the Bishop's hatnote, so pointing to a disambig page serves them, otherwise they will not find a link to their desired article, possibly.

—Alalch E. 17:13, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Changed my mind... to expound... first of all, IMO "Gene E. Robinson" should be moved to "Gene Robinson (entymologist)". That as my opinion as people called him "Gene Robinson" without the E. I think, and I'm not a fan of the middle-initial thing when you could use paranthetical disambiguation which tells what the article is about. But either way, whatever, that is not the question here. The question is, are we going to:
  1. Keep the bishop's hatnote as it is (pointing just to the entymologist).
  2. Have the bishops's hatnote point to the entymologist, to Jean, and to the Eugene disambig page.
  3. Keep the disambig page and have the bishop's hatnote point to just it.
Well... #1 gives the reader no chance to find their article if they are indeed looking for Jean or Eugene (rare but non-zero). #2 is a bit long with three entries, that last two being rare. #3 seems to fit the situation best. It is a matter of opinion, and that is mine. Herostratus (talk) 18:26, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The entomologist is a significantly more prominent topic than the bishop. —Alalch E. 22:24, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Already deleted three years ago at a previous AfD. Given the source retrieval dates, and the fact that the same person created the article, it is likely that most of them are the same sources that were already considered previously.

  • Delete. Nothing has changed since the previous AfD. Other than the subject being a candidate (again) for the coming general election. In particular, based on the sources, the subject still doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. The article is otherwise a recreation of the same title/content that was previously deleted (to the extent that it contains the same ref links - several of which are dead, more than a few of which only mention the subject in passing, and at least one of which doesn't appear to mention the subject at all).

  • Delete. As always, the notability test at WP:NPOL is holding a notable office, not just running for one — so he doesn't qualify for an article just for being a candidate in an upcoming Dail election, and the local level of political office is not "inherently" notable at all, so being a councillor for a municipal district is not an automatic inclusion pass either. Municipal councillors don't get articles for existing, they get articles when they can be credibly demonstrated as special cases of markedly greater notability than the norm for that level of significance.
    But the referencing here is extremely overdependent on primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, and purely run of the mill local coverage of the type that every municipal councillor in every municipality is routinely expected to receive, not demonstrating any credible evidence that he would be more special than other municipal councillors.
    Obviously no prejudice against recreation on or after election day if he wins the Dail seat, but there's no basis for permanent notability here yet as of today. Bearcat (talk) 17:07, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a composer and record producer, not properly sourced as having a strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and must meet certain specific criteria to qualify for inclusion -- but the only notability claim being attempted here is that his work exists, and the article is referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability -- mainly his work metaverifying its own existence on the self-published websites of organizations or companies that were directly affiliated with it, but also IMDb -- there's not even one piece of WP:GNG-worthy coverage about him in an independent third-party source shown at all, and absolutely nothing reliable or GNG-worthy turned up on a Google search either.
Also, I strongly suspect conflict of interest, as the article was first created by a WP:SPA who created this as their first-ever Wikipedia edit and then disappeared until coming back four years later to "update" it, and has never edited any other pages on Wikipedia at all.
As his career goes back more than a decade, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with better access than I've got to archives of British media coverage that might not have Googled can find more than I was able to, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass GNG on better referencing than this.

The BLP was created in the main namespace and later draftified by Maliner. The creator then submitted it for review, but later unilaterally moved the BLP back to the main namespace, to avoid AFC review process.

  • Keep

I am the subject of this article and absolutely appreciate the importance of adhering to Wikipedia’s standards for verifiability, notability, and neutrality.

I am consistently consulted and featured on national and local American television networks; global television outlets; radio stations; in newspapers; magazines; and on podcasts on all aspects of modern manners and contemporary, societal etiquette. I began this work in 2000 and for more than two decades now, my name, likeness and commentary appear with regular frequency in outlets that are broadcast to millions of viewers and listeners.

I only learned of this deletion discussion after being approached by several external parties offering paid services to influence the outcome. I have ignored those emails, choosing instead to engage with the community here, according to Wikipedia’s established guidelines.

For those who have legitimate concerns about the page as it stands, I do hope the community can offer further specific guidance on how the article can be improved—and what my role in that improvement would correctly be.

In my research for how to weigh in appropriately on this discussion, one of the things that has impressed me most is the community’s sincere focus on being respectful of others. In that spirit, I truly appreciate your consideration and welcome your assistance to bolster the page in ways you deem necessary.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

  • Delete: It's difficult to sort through the fluff here given how often Farley himself appears as a writer, but obviously those sources don't meet WP:INDEPENDENT.

  • Comment: Hi Thomas Farley (editing as 12.157.19.205). Thank you for commenting here and not responding to the scam emails offering paid services. Wikipedia:FAQ/Article subjects is a good page to read.

    I would like to support keeping this article as I think it's likely you're notable since you have appeared many times in print and broadcast media. However, in the searches for sources I've done, I've found only articles that quote you. These articles have minimal biographical coverage of you (at most just a sentence or two). On that basis, I cannot support retaining the article yet. The topic needs to pass Wikipedia's "general notability guideline", which says:

    A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

    Are there any independent reliable sources that provide significant biographical coverage about you? Sources that largely quote you do not count. Please read the guideline Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. This essay is also useful as it provides a good summary of what sources will contribute to notability. See also my contribution at another deletion discussion for an example of how I supported keeping another biography.

    As the article's subject, you are best placed to locate reliable sources that have profiled you. If you can find at least two independent reliable sources that provide significant coverage of you (and are not just interviews), then I will support keeping this article. If no such sources can be found, the Wikipedia policy-based outcome is deletion of this article. My hope is sources can found. Thank you very much for your help!

No, these aren't the sort of sources Wikipedia deems usable for proving notable. We want sources from professional publications, not blogging websites where anyone can join and write.

  • Delete I am unconvinced by the presented "sources" which are simply store pages created by the game's creator themselves. It does not seem like the creator is here to build an encyclopedia. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:41, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, there is a problem.
    Most of the sources are in a form of a video reviews, on the YouTube, which Wikipedia seems to hate.
    And the best informational source Black Souls has is an unofficial Japanese wiki that rather covers some lore details, rather than the story itself.
    Here it is: https://w.atwiki.jp/iniminimanimo/
    Of someone would take the idea of making Black Souls article on the Wikipedia seriously, what would you recommend to do? OMGMLGPROGAMER (talk) 15:40, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Zxcvbnm I think @OMGMLGPROGAMER is a bit of an overenthusiastic fan...which is, honestly, fine, but I also think they are intending to building an encyclopedia.
    OMGMLGPROGAMER, the reason why we "hate YouTube" is because YouTube doesn't require editorial oversight. I actually watch YouTube every day. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 15:45, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Indeed, I'd gladly contribute to the Wikipedia by making an article about something I know too well. Even though this is not my article, I feel quite passionate about it. Feeling that this article will be deleted, I'll try to create my own about this subject, even though it will be quite challenging without references to the YouTube as it seems, hmm... but at least I have a little idea of what to do.

    OMGMLGPROGAMER, you're encouraged to write articles better than the any that have been deleted. But I encourage you to create and improve them in Draft space and submit themt to WP:AFC for review by an experienced editor. Too many new content creators put their articles directly into the main space where they are then subject to deletion discussions like this one.

  • It's a horrific thing to contemplate that a road accident killing 55 anywhere in the world wouldn't be notable. We've got little to go on, there are news reports but little ongoing coverage. That said, I don't read Arabic, it seems likely that there would be sustained non-English coverage. I'm going to say unsure in that I would hope that there was more than I'm seeing. JMWt (talk) 09:53, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete – (Revised vote) – Borderline in my opinion. I've found some "detailed" coverage dating back to 2008 plus one in 2013, however, the lack of actual sustained continued coverage post-2009, and the lack of demonstrable lasting effects are enough for me to vote delete, albeit a weak one. As WP:EVENTCRIT#4 says, routine kinds of news events including most accidents – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance, which this event also lacks.

Article does not provide any indication of notability per WP:GNG, WP:NPOL, or WP:NAUTHOR. He ran for state legislature but did not win, and the sources are links to things he wrote, rather than articles about him. I am unable to find significant coverage of him from a Google search. ... discospinster talk 02:43, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Per WP:POLITICIAN. Local party worker and commentator in his youth. No indication he ever held office other than within his own local party affiliations. — Maile (talk) 13:01, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The statement "Takala was elected chairman of Minnesota's Pine County Republicans at the age of 18. He was re-elected in 2009 with 60% of the vote, and again in 2011" looks promising except that it is without citation. Subject does not meet the notability of a politician and it fails WP:GNG Tesleemah (talk) 13:27, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just standing as an unsuccessful candidate for one, so there's no basis for notability as a politician here — and the notability test for journalists is not passed by referencing their journalism career to sources where they're the bylined author of coverage about other things, it's passed by referencing their journalism career to sources where they're the subject of coverage and analysis written by other people. (And even worse, most of the "journalism" sourcing isn't even leading me to articles he wrote, either: it's leading me to either photographs of politicians who aren't Rudy Takala or articles written by somebody else, not articles by or about Rudy Takala.) So there's no basis for notability as a journalist shown here either. Bearcat (talk) 17:22, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Similar to the recently deleted article on The World Without US by the same filmmaker, no signs of significant coverage. The article's current sourcing is not independent or significant, and I could not find any signs of further coverage after an online search (given that the film has less than 100,000 views on YouTube, I doubt that coverage exists).

  • Delete I suppose... Either way is fine really. I think our de facto standard for films is "it exists (or did)". There are a number of film articles that have less than info than this in them I think. And the director is bluelinked... on the other hand, it looks like he shouldn't be. And it is only 52 minutes... not a short film, but is that long enough for a feature film? If it had a serious release in a serious number of commercial theaters I would probably change my mind. But there's no indication of that, and it seems doubtful. Herostratus (talk) 03:19, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

there's nothing that mentions Felo Barkere and Baunez Ridge together that isn't Eric Gilbertson related/sourced. This location doesn't appear to meet WP:NGEO. Graywalls (talk) 00:02, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Articles like Bikku Bitti have used peakbagger and summitpost blogs as a source, so what's the difference with this article? Any highest point of a sovereign nation should have its article on Wikipedia or at least be mentioned. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 11:13, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sometimes people like Eric or Ginge are the only source of information on peaks like this. Allowing one highpointer's firsthand information (like Ginge on Bikku Bitti) but not allowing Eric's on Felo Barkere seems strange and inconsistent by WP policy. Also, peakbagger has extensively been used as a source for minor mountains (which Felo Barkere would fall under), so what is the sudden change against this? Also, peaks promoted to the main database on peakbagger are looked over and verified by administrators, so some "child sitting on his dad's shoulder" won't be messing up the measurement by 5-6 feet on a peak in the main database as much of the data comes from professionally done surveys. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 11:20, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for bringing up Bikku Bitti. I've cleared out totally unacceptable low quality diary/blog, which appears to have been added over a decade ago. As you look at different articles, you will sometimes find articles written over a decade ago that is chock full of complete trash and ad articles that look like a press release written entirely off of company site. On less lower traffic article that sort of things tend to happen. When you find contents written based on personal website, first see if the site cites a reliable source that meets WP:RS standards. If it does, replace it with that source. If not, I personally encourage removing contents based on some anecdotal evidence. Pruning low quality information is part of improving Wikipedia. If there's trash all over both sides of the road and someone cleans up one side, you can go ahead and clean the other side. Graywalls (talk) 03:39, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: to allow time to find a RS to justify the redirect

  • Comment. CIA Factbook [70] says the highest point in Senegal is unamed so conflicting with "Felo Barkere". Barkere is apparently a village in Guinea so it's questionable the peak has this name in Senegal. This website just calls it "Senegal High Point" [71] and is 10 metres higher than stated in the article. Agree with the nominator's comments and reasoning. As it stands there's basically a single source for this name, so notability not established and it would be wrong to redirect to the Geography of Senegal page under this article's title. So, unless further reliable sources found to back up Felo Barkere, I'm inclined to delete. Rupples (talk) 03:51, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I'm not seeing a way to WP:V so it doesn't feel like there is an ATD. Maybe sources exist in a format we can't access, so this might change in the future and the page can be resurrected. JMWt (talk) 19:21, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
