Article has remained unsourced for 15+ years, and I can't find any source that mentions or covers this project. Even the article on Alcatel does not mention this at all.

This was flagged since 2007, although the citations template was removed without improvement [4]. There is only one source on the page and that is just a reference to playing a song on a radio show.

Nomination: How a party decided their prime ministerial candidate is not notable and interesting topic at all. India has Parliamentary system in contrast to Presidential system. According to this logic, Prime Minister should be decided only after the election. This article doesn't demand a separate article. This article doesn't seem notable at all and may be formed due to ideological biasness. This article should either be deleted or be merged to Narendra Modi. XYZ 250706 (talk) 07:30, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete The majority of the info is simply repeated in Narendra Modi section titled Premiership campaigns. His campaigns on there own were not unique and only hold significance because he is the prime minister of India.
- The event doesn't hold noteriaty outside of him so it should be found in Narendra Modi article (which a version already exists).

- Merge to Narendra Modi I support having separate article for political campaigns, especially for someone like Modi. Modi's article already has too much content and part of it should be split off into their own articles. This article would be a great split. It currently has about 20 sources, so there is substantial content here. I am only voting to merge because it needs more work for finish the split, and if the split is not finished, then we should have all the content in one place. I would change to "keep" if editors would check the main Modi article, move content from there to here, briefly summarize the concept, and link the main article to here while avoiding duplicate/WP:FORK content appearing in both places. I want to support keeping this but right now it is a WP:FORK. Bluerasberry (talk) 15:53, 16 April 2025 (UTC)

- Comment. I found this mention in a 1978 edition of The Canberra Times, but it's not quite SIGCOV in my view. I also found this mention in The Australian Library Journal and a few sentences about the journal in this issue of Labour History, but again neither are quite SIGCOV. I thought the discussion in this book looked promising, but like most of what I found, the relevant chapter turned out to be written by one of the journal's editors. It looks like The Push from the Bush was part of a larger project encompassing several journals and volumes called Australians: A Historical Library that was launched to mark the bicentennial, and that wider project is definitely notable, but we don't have an article about it that we could merge/redirect this to.

Consensus has been that notability is not automatic in WP:LISTED (or any other) case. Fails to meet WP:NCORP, WP:CORPDEPTH. Indian media sources should be viewed carefully, as they often present press releases as news WP:RSNOI. Apart from that, activities like quarter-wise revenue targets, share prices, share buybacks, domestic & overseas acquisitions etc., are merely routine coverage WP:ROUTINE, regardless of where they are published.

A WP:BEFORE search turns up no additional qualifying sources, just similar content to the above. As for other criteria, I don't see an WP:NACADEMIC pass. Regarding NACADEMIC #3 and WP:ANYBIO #1, his status as Fellow of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining is not a particularly significant award (the fellowship has an open application process, unlike say the Royal Society that requires nomination from existing members).

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
LUGSTUB article with no credible assertion of a WP:NSPORTS pass.
Grech competed as the Olympics, but merely competing in the Olympics does not automatically indicate notability per WP:NSPORTS2022.
Grech competed in a team that won silver at the 1913 Paris gymnastics tournament (which was not officially the world tournament - this did not start until 1931). However, Grech does not inherit the notability of his team per WP:NTEAM.
The article refers to Grech receiving an "individual gold medal" at the 1913 tournament. However, as the source provided in the article explains, no individual medals were awarded in 1913. Individual scores (not medals) were retrospectively recognised after 1922. A retrospectively-recognised score years after the event cannot be an indicator of notability because it would not have attracted the kind of coverage that an actual award would have - instead it is just a statistical artefact.

WP:NSPORTS-failing LUGSTUB-a-like. No corresponding IT Wiki article.
The article makes repeated statements about Palazzi winning individual "medals" at the gymnastics tournaments in Turin and Paris. In reality no individual medals were awarded until 1922, with individual scores (not medals) only being recognised retrospectively after 1922. Scores conferred retrospectively years after the event, as a statistical artefact, cannot indicate notability, since they are not subject to the same assumption that they will have generated significant coverage that usually attends such awards. Palazzi's team won the team bronze in Paris and Turin, but Palazzi does not inherit the notability of his team per WP:NTEAM. Nothing found in my WP:BEFORE. There was a prominent Italian priest by the same name born in 1917. The only reference in the article is to a bare list that can be seen here. FOARP (talk) 12:36, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

LUGSTUB-a-like with no credible assertion of an WP:NSPORTS pass.
He competed at the Olympics, but merely competing is not an indicator of notability per WP:NSPORTS2022.
He competed at the 1911 Turin gymnastic tournament (which was not a world tournament, since these weren't held until 1931) as part of the Czech Sokol team (who were not "Czechoslovakia" per se). However, Svoboda does not inherit the notability of his team.
The article incorrectly states that Svoboda received individual "medals" at the 1911 tournament. However, there were no individual awards at the 1911 gymnastics tournament - these weren't awarded until much later. Scores (not medals) were conferred retrospectively after 1922, and a retrospective score given years after the event purely as a statistical artefact cannot be an indicator of notability.

- Keep: "Local media profiles" appears to be an inaccurate description. Several of the cited sources are news stories, not profiles, and at least two of the news sources are non-local: USA Today is a national news source, and while WOAY-TV is from West Virginia, Oak Hill, West Virginia isn't local—I live just a few miles from the restaurant, though I've never been there, and we've never gotten WOAY in this area; our local ABC affiliate is WCHS-TV. Oak Hill isn't part of the local area; it's more than 90 miles away. The coverage looks like what you would expect for a local attraction, and is more than you'd see for some that meet the minimum standards for notability. The fact that it was once part of a chain—many years ago, apparently—does not make it non-notable as an independently-operated restaurant with a distinctive identity. P Aculeius (talk) 11:47, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
- The USA Today article doesn't mention Billy Bob's Wonderland at all. I think the WOAY and WCHS coverage still would fall under local interest stories. The DCist article is the only one that really would satisfy non-local coverage, and I am not sure that passes the reliable sources test. nf utvol (talk) 00:24, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
- I see what you mean about USA Today. Perhaps this could be solved by merging into Showbiz Pizza. The fate of restaurants that "divorced" from the chain but still maintained the basic concepts and show seem relevant, and since the parent article has major sources, there shouldn't be any issue with using local sources to describe the fate of one such restaurant in one or two short paragraphs. If others are documentable, they can be added too, and a section containing them could be trimmed accordingly, but for now I think some of this content could go there.

That the Washington, D.C.-based website DCist covered a Barboursville, West Virginia–based restaurant strongly contributes to notability.
The article notes: "In Barboursville, West Virginia, at Billy Bob’s Pizza Wonderland, they’re on a perpetual reunion tour. ... One of Barboursville’s social hubs—an anchor of a strip mall on the edge of the village—is Billy Bob’s Pizza Wonderland, a modern-day rendition of Showbiz Pizza Place. Billy Bob’s was buzzing, with shrieking kids working a smorgasbord of arcade machines and stuffing their faces—like animatrons—with cheap pizza.

The article notes: "Dating back over 30 years, Billy Bob’s Wonderland in Barboursville, WV is an indoor entertainment center for the whole family. It comes complete with a variety of old-school arcade games, mini golf, laser tag, and an authentic animatronic band known as the Rock-afire Explosion. This week’s One Tank Trip takes us on the 1 hour and 35-minute drive to Billy Bob’s to get a look at all of the fun to be had behind its doors. ... Formally known as Showbiz Pizza, Billy Bob’s was rebranded to become what it is today. But, one corner of the place still remains the same, and that’s where the Rock-afire Explosion performs. After a long process and luck on their side, it’s the last animatronic band from the 80s and 90s era left standing in the whole country that can legally claim to be an original Rock-afire band."

Comparable biographies of physicians with similar credentials and sourcing have been retained, including those built around regional prominence and leadership roles. Per WP:BEFORE deletion is premature given the demonstrable notability and the potential for article improvement. Rather than remove the article, the appropriate course is editing and strengthening the references, not erasing the subject entirely.

Notability issues abound here. The article is very heavily comprised of detail from one primary sources - the film's website, with some non-notable coverage. The one thing the article has for it is a brief review by C. Robert Cargill (Massawyrm) for Ain't It Cool News, but there needs to be something else. Very limited reliable sources from a search, with search engine only yielding one Empire preview ([25]) that mostly just explains what Warhammer is. No reviews on Rotten Tomatoes except one from Sci Fi Movie Page which is now dead ([26]). A Google News search finds an article from Game Rant which does have some coverage in retrospectively assessing it ([27]) although the source is not exactly high-quality nor reliable (see WP:VG/S). Despite having some notable VAs, this is bafflingly obscure, had a limited release, and doesn't seem to have garnered much in the way of reviews or coverage. I'm not too familiar with the Film WikiProject but this feels pretty under the line for me. VRXCES (talk) 09:19, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

- Merge to Warhammer 40,000#Film, Aint It Cool News review is the only piece of significant coverage by a reliable source. Sci-Fi Movie Page doesn't seem like a reliable source (see archived review). "First look" by Empire doesn't count as significant coverage since it doesn't contain any critical analysis. AllMovie includes a rating [28], maybe a review was included before all reviews were removed from the site.

- delete without prejudice to recreation with reliable sources. Both this and the station article are essentially sourced entirely to GMaps, which is not a reliable source. The locations are also not consistent with each other. The station article is more likely correct but as it stands in a certain isolation its relationship with a supposed village is unclear. I can't read Hindi so I'm not of much use in writing here, but my recollection is decent articles on these villages can generally be at least partly sourced from the census. At any rate, given that the location information is all we have, and it is rather suspect, starting over is the route to take. Mangoe (talk) 12:04, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT. Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, none of the sources were secondary since none of them contained analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the event itself. The event does not have in-depth nor sustained continued coverage of the event itself with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the accident. No lasting effects or long-term impacts on a significant region have been demonstrated, which is made all the more evident as the Civil Aviation Accident and Incident Investigation Commission did not issue a single recommendation as a result of this accident (Recomendaciones sobre seguridad
– page 23). WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that 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 lacks per the above.

No other Malaysian political party's leadership positions have dedicated article and the position of President of the Malaysian Islamic Party on its own is simply not notable enough to warrant one. Content of the article seems more suitable for the main Malaysian Islamic Party page if not already present.
Edit: Looking through the edit history and it appears the article was moved from the author's draft to the mainspacce by a since-banned sockpuppet.

- I concede that you're right about there being a dedicated article for another Malaysian political party's leadership position, that's my mistake. I will also be nominating that for deletion. As for the argument that the main article about the Malaysian Islamic Party is too bloated, the information you've included in the article nominated for deletion is mostly redundant and what I would support being migrated to Malaysian Islamic Party would take up no more than a few sentences, so I don't think that holds much water.

- The first snippet reads:
"E i combattimenti in terra d'Oltremare porrano le pemesse anche alla creazione dell'eroe e dell eroismo sportivo, un'epos che ha il suo precusore in Otello Capitani"
- In machine translation:
"And the fighting in the overseas lands will also put the omens to the creation of the hero and of 'sporting heroism', an epic that has its precursor in Otello Capitani"
- The second is apparently a quote that reads:
"Questo contributo reco Otello Capitani alla Patria sui campi di Libia..la sua memoria viva perenne in noi"
- Or in machine translation:
"This contribution Otello Capitani brings to the Fatherland on the fields of Libya... his memory lives forever in us"
- This appears to be sourced in the index to an obituary entitled published in 1912 by The Panaro Gymnastics and Fencing Society (La societa Ginastic e Scherma del Panaro), which is in Capitani's home province of Modena and of which he was likely a member. The obituary was entitled "In memoria di Otello Capitani. Nel trigesimo della sua morte" ("In Memory of Otello Capitani. On the thirtieth day after his death"). FOARP (talk) 13:38, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

LUGSTUB-a-like with no credible assertion of an WP:NSPORTS pass.
He competed at the Olympics, but merely competing is not an indicator of notability per WP:NSPORTS2022.
He competed at the 1903 Antwerp gymnastic tournament and the 1905 tournament (which were not world tournaments, since these weren't held until 1931) as part of the French team. However, Dejaeghère does not inherit the notability of his team.
The article incorrectly states that Dejaeghère received individual "medals" at the 1903 and 1905 tournaments. However, there were no individual awards at the 1903 or 1905 gymnastics tournaments - these weren't awarded until much later. Scores (not medals) were conferred retrospectively after 1922, and a retrospective score given years after the event purely as a statistical artefact cannot be an indicator of notability.

Ceased publication in 2021
, which seems to be accurate based on the fact that their website also has no new articles after December 2021. Nobody (talk) 05:50, 16 April 2025 (UTC) - Strong keep. I don't often use the word "strong" before either keep or delete, but here I strongly feel that this discussion is going in the wrong direction. This journal was included in Scopus from 2001 to 2017. That alone we usually take as sufficient to establish notability. It was also included in the Science Citation Index Expanded from 2002 to 2019. There was an expression of concern that the journal had been guilty of citation stacking in 2017, but apparently they cleaned up their act in the next year (current reference 5). Again, listing in the SCIE of almost the complete run of the journal (discontinued in 2021) is generally taken as sufficient evidence of notability. And then there is MEDLINE in which the complete run of the journal was "selectively included", as well as in its even more selective sub-database Index Medicus. Again, this alone we usually take as evidence of notability. Finally, notability is not temporary, so the fact that the journal was discontinued is immaterial. BTW, as an aside: our article states that the journal "was delisted from Web of Science in the 2019 index,[5] after having received an expression of concern a year earlier." In fact, the expression of concern explicitly states "The Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology did not show evidence of anomalous patterns of citation in 2018 and will not be suppressed. Similar analysis of year-to-date 2019 indicated no continuation of the citation anomalies, so that the journals will not be removed from indexing in Web of Science at this time." --Randykitty (talk) 17:55, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
- I wasn't certain about the original nomination because of the implication that it was at some point in the past indexed by Index Medicus, but the lack of information on MIAR and the generally negative slant of the article, short as it is, placed me in the position of nominating this for deletion. That and endorsement by other editors. The evidence here is convincing of the "selectively indexed" criteria. I withdraw my personal reasoning for deletion, particularly with the scopus indexing I missed but as there are others that have recommended deletion this won't be a close. -- Reconrabbit 01:35, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: When I started looking into ISF, I hadn’t expected it to hold up quite so well internationally, but it appears to stand alongside some of the most widely recognized frameworks. I understand why the UK government report might have looked like a passing mention at first glance, but on closer review, it is more substantial. The 2013 BIS report compares 9 major cybersecurity standards including ISO/IEC 27001, PCI DSS, and Germany’s BSI and gives ISF 2 full pages of favourable and independent analysis (pp. 95–96), with strong marks in the comparison matrix on p. 20. Combined with the Carnegie Mellon SEI source, which is already accepted as a reliable reference, I believe this is sufficient to meet WP:GNG. Infosecurity Magazine and Security Magazine provide some lighter additional support. I’ve also trimmed promotional content that was a very valid concern earlier. HerBauhaus (talk) 19:31, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
- It appears as a mention in a single line each in data matrix tables on pages 20, 51, 65 and 83. Those are definitionally trivial. It gets a full-page mention on page 95, but the material on that page is entirely quotes from ISF publications and thus not independent WP:SIGCOV. Finally, GNG is not the applicable guideline. WP:NORG is. Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:44, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: I appreciate the structured source assessment, but I interpret the 2013 BIS report differently. It includes a benchmarking study conducted by PwC for the UK government, comparing the ISF’s Standard of Good Practice to eight other major cybersecurity frameworks. These include ISO/IEC 27001 (international), PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry, US), Germany’s BSI IT-Grundschutz, and the Australian Government Information Security Manual. According to the matrix on page 20, the ISF framework received the highest scores across five security criteria. Pages 95 – 96 explain the rationale for these results in detail, based on a PwC-led gap analysis. This level of coverage is well beyond a trivial mention and qualifies as independent benchmarking.
- A 2006 report from Carnegie Mellon’s Software Engineering Institute also provides an overview of ISF’s structure and security practices, adding further independent coverage. Infosecurity Magazine, a long-standing publication in the cybersecurity sector, discusses ISF’s alignment with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. These sources together offer substantial, independent, and reliable coverage that meets both WP:GNG and WP:NORG. HerBauhaus (talk) 07:39, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

Lacks WP:MUSICBIO and WP:RELIABILITY. Also affiliated with article recreated third time following deletion by nomination. DBrown SPS (talk) 09:16, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Keep This nomination rests on flawed reasoning and misapplied policies. Big Clout is a released studio album, distributed by Columbia Records, a major label already a solid claim to notability per WP:NALBUM Criterion 1.
Coverage includes a contemporaneous album review from HotNewHipHop, a site consistently accepted in similar music AfDs. In addition, DailyLoud and RateYourMusic supporting reception and while not all these sites are perfect individually, collectively they contribute to WP:GNG by showing ongoing attention and critique of the album.
The deletion rationale claims "reliability" and "affiliation with a previously deleted article," but this doesn't hold. FBG Duck's article was not deleted, but kept after discussion, which invalidates arguments based solely on association. Even if it had been deleted, notability is not inherited but it's also not denied based on supposed guilt-by-association. That logic is unsound.
Finally, per WP:NOTCLEANUP, AfD is not the place for challenging article quality or formatting. If reliability or sourcing were truly the issue, the proper action would be tagging or improving, not deletion. Momentoftrue (talk) 14:14, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

- I'm leaning merge to the artist. Someone is trying to flesh out his presence on Wikipedia with the navigation box, the article with the multiple sub-headers, a spun-out discography page and page about his death, etc. But the coverage is simply not that widespread. Here is another review from rapreviews, as well as further news about releases [36][37] but they are not significant. This could be a weak keep as well, but the page about the artist mostly has very short sections and should be expanded before spinouts. Geschichte (talk) 06:28, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article appears to be a likely hoax or satirical fabrication. It lacks reliable sources and has no verifiable evidence that the organization ever existed. The cited references are weak, misleading, or irrelevant. This topic does not meet notability guidelines.
This article presents SPONGE as a real political pressure group, but the claim is unsupported by reliable sources and appears to be an instance of misinformation. The only verifiable mentions of “SPONGE” refer to its use as a racist acronym or gag — not an actual organization. The 1978 Lewiston Evening Journal article documents a high school prank, not group activity. The 1999 commentary by Earl Ofari Hutchinson refers to an alleged use of the term within a police department, but offers no evidence of an actual group. The only historical book cited mentions SPONGE briefly, without treating it as real or notable.
In effect, the Wikipedia article is the fourth appearance of SPONGE, not documenting a group, but continuing the pattern of SPONGE being used as a recurring racist gag. There is no substantiated continuity, structure, or notability. Instead, this article appears to be a case of citogenesis or hoax propagation. It does not meet the standards of verifiability or notability and should be deleted. InvisibleUser909 (talk) 06:32, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

No charting album, not on a notable label, no inclusion in any big publication.

- Keep, I expanded this article just before it was nominated for deletion. Not all the sources are databases; for example Zambia Sporting Score: A Period of Hits and Misses lists the subject in the context of a few of his performances. Subject went far beyond the typical Olympian stub because he qualified for several international championships (African Games, Commonwealth Games, Olympics) and set a 2:22:45 marathon PB in the 1970s as Zambia's top marathon runner. SIGCOV of him would exist in Zambian physical media from that era as soon as those archives are available to us. --Habst (talk) 13:15, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
Navifyto a page mentioning his Olympics and Commonwealth Games. Not even a single full sentence directly on him in the book, which seems to contain a fairly exhaustive almanac of all Zambian international sporting appearances (the context where Chiwala is mentioned, apart from one shared sentence in prose) as well as secondary coverage of the athletes that were more impactful. If Chiwala's performance had actually garnered significant attention we would expect this to be reflected by deeper coverage in this book, but that is not the case.

- Liz Navify is an ATD that has recently been proposed (and used) for various articles which someone could conceivably look for, but the topic may not meet GNG and a redirect to a specific article doesn't make sense. You turn the page into a navigation page, which is like a disambig, listing related topics. A nav page for this topic might look like:
Wikipedia does not have an article on Patrick Chiwala, but you can read about this topic in the following articles:
- Keep: I believe the subject meets WP:SPORTSBASIC particiated at the 1978 All-Africa Games, the 1978 Commonwealth Games, and the 1980 Summer Olympics representing Zambia. He is also a subject of discussion in the book "Zambia Sporting Score: A Period of Hits and Misses" by Moses Sayela Walubita (iUniverse, 4 August 2011).Ekpin (talk) 07:30, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- There is no inherent notability in participating in those competitions. LibStar (talk) 13:31, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect to Zambia at the 1980 Summer Olympics which is the only Olympic Games he ran in. I don't really oppose navify as an alternative to this, but I don't think it is necessary, and that outcome is still bedding in. If closed as redirect, no prejudice to updating the redirect to a nav page when these are better established. This should not be kept as the subject is not notable. I reviewed the book, Zambia Sporting Score: A Period of Hits and Misses. It is a reach to say he is a "subject of discussion". His name is in there 4 times, confirming the events he participated in and that he miscounted the number of laps. But that is all. The mentions are all just listings.

- Redirect to 1999–2000 Preston North End F.C. season. Very common name, hard to lookup, I gave up after 5 minutes of searching. He could have played for other clubs, if not, maybe a redirect to the season page, as he only played three games for that season under David Moyes. Govvy (talk) 11:17, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

- Delete: Gnews shows nothing past 2009. I'm not sure this shows continued notability. The person doesn't appear to have continued down the software road to a career, or it hasn't been covered in the media. Oaktree b (talk) 14:31, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
