  • Note The Finnish WP article doesn't look too bad, but notability is still vague. Translation of relevant (sourced) bits: [...] The games are particularly popular in China and the United States, with Finland being a marginal market.[1] The games have voice control in dozens of languages.[2] BeiZ was founded in China in 2010.[3] The company was acquired by Finnish ownership two years later.[4] At the time, entertainment game makers such as Rovio, Supercell, Remedy, Bugbear and Fingersoft were considered the cornerstones of the Finnish game industry.[5][2] Lola Panda educational games have been successful internationally, especially in China, without the publicity of the more well-known game houses.[6] Lola Panda teaches children under school age to learn various skills.[6]sgeureka tc 09:51, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of Liverpool F.C. matches in international competitions[edit]

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

This is an unnecessary and redundant collection of matches that Liverpool have played in international competition. An article outlining the club's record in Europe already exists, we do not need a list of every single match. Considering also that the reader can learn what happened in those matches from the equivalent season articles AND from seasonal competition pages. I understand having smaller lists for clubs that don't usually play in Europe. For example, Burnley's article contains only a few matches, each of which are especially notable. But like most big English clubs, Liverpool play in Europe almost every single season; making most matches almost as notable as any domestic match. A discussion to delete this list reached no consensus just over two years ago now; but I truely believe redundant lists like this have no place on Wikipedia.

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

I am struggling to find sources that discuss Grapevine in depth. Per the article's own description, it was "a [d]isk magazine for the Commodore Amiga published by the [d]emo scene group LSD." (my bold emphasis added). A publication by none other than those involved in the demoscene would have a high bar to clear in order to count as notable. Predictably, the few sources I can dig up refer to it passingly, and some old Amiga magazines did look at Grapevine, but from what I saw, they were reviewing the disk magazine's issues, not writing about its importance or influence in the Amiga community. The only thing that can save this article is if others happen to find more information about Grapevine, and in depth, which I could not. FreeMediaKid$ 23:41, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Redirecting and/or merging to Microsoft Silverlight is an AtD that I'm comfortable with. HyperAccelerated (talk) 20:55, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @HyperAccelerated,
Can you please explain how the most relevant online sources related to software development, such as InfoQ, Visual Studio Magazine, InfoWorld, and SD Times, could be close to Userware? Can you please tell me what you would expect as a source? If I add all the articles written about OpenSilver in the past years, will it increase the relevance according to you? The complete functional source of the framework is on GitHub, with visible contributions from tens of developers and requests from tens of people (I assume representatives of various organizations and individuals who use the framework) for improvements noted under the GitHub issues. OpenSilver is a relevant solution for many organizations trying to find a solution for their Microsoft Silverlight (already discontinued technology) legacy solutions, and it's free and open source. How is it not worth being part of Wikipedia when some of the most relevant online magazines write about its development and growth over the years? Vasbu (talk) 08:31, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I couldn't find any credentials for David Ramel when I first nominated the article. I took a second look, and it appears he's been writing about technology for awhile at this point. I'll consider him a reliable source then. I'll withdraw if you come forth with another source to establish notability, because notability generally requires multiple sources. On the other hand, the number of contributors and pull requests has not, is not, and will never be a metric for notability. Please keep the discussion about sourcing.

Probably this magazine was popular among the few users who clung onto the Amiga, but the OS had been dead for five years when Amiga Active was launched, and I found no evidence as to why the magazine is notable. Simply put, this article does not pass notability muster and is a permastub. FreeMediaKid$ 22:44, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Note AmigaOS 3.5 was released in October 1999 (the same month the magazine was introduced), so at least this part of the AfD nomination is not entirely true (there were few updates even before that - eg. new Installer utility and support for drives bigger than 4 GB). The article in question mentions a connection to former CU Amiga staff, maybe a simple redirect to our Commodore User article may be the best course of action here (the article subject is mentioned there and I may be able to find a proper source for this information). Pavlor (talk) 05:31, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Pardon my ignorance. Having fiddled with Amiga Forever for months now and uploaded dozens of Amiga-related items to the Internet Archive, I should have known better. I would have come across as less hyperbolic with language like, "The Amiga was long past its prime by 1999," and I have heard of AmigaOS 4 (it amazes me to know how such a formerly popular OS as the Amiga would receive continued support long after its original manufacturer had folded, and that was 30 years ago).

  • Leaning toward delete. I've been looking into this too, I get no results for him (or his birth name) on various 20th century newspaper databases. The sources cited are art auction related and Worthopedia seems like it might be user generated content. All three references have wording similar to the Wikipedia article, suggesting there's some plagiarism going on here possibly although it's unclear in which direction. For example "His life can be described in a few words: a big passion for painting and art and a great love for Paris" appears in both Wikipedia and the Worthopedia reference. Not sure what's going on exactly but it does not make this source seem credible. I will keep tabs on this to see if anyone can find better sources. --Here2rewrite (talk) 19:27, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The only results I've been able to find have been of very low quality, and the sources the article itself uses are of dubious quality (as has been noted). No idea about claims of non-existence, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of reputable biographical sources. If anyone does have citations that would meet standards I'd be swayed, but as it stands the article has too many issues and too little grounding for it to be worth keeping. Occo5903 (talk) 22:00, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Looking into the previous AfD, as well as the largest contribution here, it seems like this is possibly a real entity. However, this does not seem to pass WP:N, since there are barely any 3rd party sources referring to this artist. In addition, his website (Wayback link) seems to refer to "Antonio De Vity" as a *studio* name, which is supported in the plain text, as the "born Umberto Marone" statement.

I'm unable to find any significant coverage of the subject, that would indicate that either WP:BIO WP:CORP or WP:CREATIVE are met. The sources cited in the article are either unreliable ([14] [15]), contain only very brief mentions ([16] [17]) or were written by the subject: [18]. My own searches have only turned up more of the same, e.g. [19] SmartSE (talk) 17:05, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Mentions of "Harlette de Falaise" are almost exclusively to Herleva, who was known by this name. Mentions in references cited in the Harlette article appear to be to a brand rather than a person. This is confirmed by a search at Companies House – Harlette is a limited company, not a person.[20] This article appears to be a work of promotional fiction. Robminchin (talk) 20:32, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom and other comments. I started looking into this after the recent unsourced additions; I also found that the existing sources referred to the company rather than a person, and am unable to find anything about her from reliable sources.
Naomi McGill appears to be the owner of various Harlette companies, and indeed old revisions such as this one list Naomi McGill as if it's an alternative name for the article's subject.
I wondered if the page had been hijacked from being about the fashion brand itself but it appears it's always been like this. Ligaturama (talk) 21:57, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete For the reasons mentioned above. I would also like to thank Robminchin for pointing out that this is promotional fiction, because I tried to look for sources (as well as looked at the sources added in the recent COI-editing spurt), and found no reliable sources other than the historical figure, which is not the subject. Harlette, in the modern sense, appears to be some sort of business pseudonym, as the Arab News source (citation 4) has no mention of a Harlette whatsoever, but it does mention a "Nayomi", which is a similar name to the Naomi McGill mentioned in the Sunday People sources, as well as the Parliament submissions that the COI editing keeps trying to add. Even then, the real person, Naomi McGill, appears to not have the credentials she claims. The COI editing claims Harlette having a PhD in Space Telecommunications from Kings College London (which are attempted to be proved by the Parliament submissions) are also bunk, as the university doesn't appear to offer - or to have ever offered - any sort of degree with the name "Space Telecommunications." Therefore, this shouldn't be a BLP at all - this article, for all intents and purposes, is a hoax. There is no Harlette de Falaise, as the article purports.

Even if there was an attempt to remove the fabricated parts of this article, and make it just about the real person, Naomi McGill, there aren't any reliable secondary sources that prove notability as a BLP. There are only short promotional blurbs from various news outlets, such as the PR Newswire piece. Therefore, I support deleting this article.--Panian513 21:17, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak merge: This covers him, but not significantly, given it's more interested in other things. This I cannot access. There are several sources, mostly dead links and bad ones, on the Illinois Elevator Safety Board, discussing the organization giving $10,000 to a politician who appointed him somewhere, but that can be merged.
The really strange thing, though, is that he appears to have possibly won a World Peace Prize? See [worldpeaceprizewashington.org/journals/ here]. But the formatting is terrible, it's unclear how official or important the website is, and it doesn't actually say whether he won it or not, besides the fact that the biography in there appears to be written by him, thereby not providing significant coverage.

    Please see WP:Other stuff exists, where the existence of other similar articles is not a justification for the existence of this one. Moreover, this is not a glossary. The entry at wikt:glossary defines one as "A list of difficult words or specialized terms used in a particular book or document, or in a particular domain of knowledge, with their definitions; a list of glosses (explanatory annotations)." This is merely a list of slang words claimed to be used by old people. Besides the inclusion criteria issues I alluded to above, that's what a slang dictionary is, with the only exception being restriction to a vague timeframe or something. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 21:57, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the sourcing is too bad; BuzzFeed and BusinessInsider listicles (or "descriptions" that say the terms pre-date 1960).

  • Delete per Walsh90201. These sources are very bad, BusinessInsider and Buzzfeed are just mediocre listicles, not reliable or useful sources. One is titled "20th-century slang terms", not terms used by Boomers specifically. Just because a term was coined or was used in the '60s doesn't make it "Boomer slang". Calling Flip-flops "thongs" is still in use by many. Searching for "submarine races" does give some results that corroborates the definition, but it doesn't appear to have been widely used. A quick search for "slurg" has zero sources that this was a even real term besides some articles about "50s slang", which would mean it's not "Boomer slang". "Skinny" is also still in use; if it was first used in WWII, what exactly makes it "Boomer slang"? Just a vague, awful list here that I don't think can be salvaged.

List of people with non-binary gender identities[edit]

List of people with non-binary gender identities (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

While I'm sure this list seemed like a good idea when it was started in 2015, it is no longer practical to keep it updated. According to Wikidata, there are about 1000 non-binary people with Wikipedia articles. This list only includes about 200 of them (including some that probably don't belong, like Prince). The number of notable non-binary people is growing at a rapid rate and I think this information is better handled via Wikidata and categories (the same as we handle other genders). By only listing a small fraction, we are giving the false impression that there are a much smaller number of notable non-binary people than there really are. If you disagree, please elaborate on how you think this list can be realistically kept up-to-date into the future. Nosferattus (talk) 16:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support: Seems reasonable to handle the same as other gender identities. Is it possible to redirect to Category:Non-binary people (even though it's out of the article namespace)? The downside would be that there's no central list: categories organize things as trees, and it's impossible to view an actual list of all the people. But that may be inevitable. If wikidata gives a list view, maybe it's possible to link to wikidata somehow? Mrfoogles (talk) 16:22, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually let me reword myself. I won't be against it.CycoMa1 (talk) 23:48, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As far as the policy reasons for deleting, it would be WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:DEL-REASON #14: "Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia". It is not appropriate for an encyclopedia to have constantly-changing unmanagably-long lists such as this one. There is precedent for deleting lists that are too long and unmanagable: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lists of Salticidae species (2nd nomination), although that case also involved redundancy. Nosferattus (talk) 00:03, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There is no reason to delete the article per the things I said earlier.CycoMa1 (talk) 18:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. We maintain a list of the 1,025 Pokémon, so why not the roughly 900 pages in Category:Non-binary people? That's a large but not intractable number of entries, and not even close to the largest stand-alone list on Wikipedia (I've personally touched List of women authors which includes over 8000 entries). Updating the article to include all current English Wikipedia biography subjects in that cat (excluding the dozen which are fictional, like Toad) is a perfectly feasible task for a motivated volunteer with a spreadsheet. There is no deadline. –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (💬 • 📝) 19:51, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If it's helpful at all, I got an LLM to spit out a SPARQL query, which retrieves the relevant data for whatever set of article subjects are correctly tagged as being non-binary humans in Wikidata (875, at time of writing). –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (💬 • 📝) 20:09, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@RoxySaunders: That's a good start, although there are also 46 gender identities in Wikidata that are subclasses of non-binary. Plus we need references for all of them (or at least the living ones, which is most of them). Nosferattus (talk) 23:21, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't able to find significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources. There is a Digi.no article, but it consists of telling what one of the organizers said. Other than that, I was only able to find mentions and short descriptions, such as "The two pure demo parties in Norway are Solskogen, which is organised in July every year, and Kindergarden, which is held in November. Kindergarden can boast that it is the world's oldest demo party that is still organised."

A possible alternative to deletion is a redirect to Demoscene#List of demoparties. toweli (talk) 14:35, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect: All the sources are self-published or that Digi.no article which is pretty much just an event announcement. Could not find anything on google for it either.

Weak keep also : Not sure why there are profiles, but there appear to be Il Sole 24 Ore covering his return from America, il Fatto Quotidiano covering Italy 2030, what appears to be a book review I'm not sure of the independence of. Along with another book review, these are the only independent reliable sources the book has. Given a couple news stories about him and a number of sources on his books, it seems reasonable to write a short article. He seems to be notable for maybe the Italy 2030 project and his popular books?
Given the large number of sources, I wonder if it's possible to show they pass Wikipedia:Notability_(books)? That would pretty much resolve this debate, because this article would obviously contain the books. And given he has his own news sources, it seems reasonable to also discuss him.

This article is about an Iranian ballistic missile. The article is clearly written from a fan or someone with a pecuniary or otherwise disallowed interest in the matter, which violates WP:NPOV. Alongside this, the article relies on Persian sources, which would challenge WP:MOS. These sources are biased and the majority are from Iranian state-sponsored news sources and agencies, and the author had designed it this way. The article also has a large amount of grammatical and otherwise errors. I would have liked for the article to remain with a NPOV and grammatically correct form, however at this point I believe that it is too far gone. DeadlyRampage26 (talk) 08:38, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The article's tone is a little odd, but it's okay to like missiles. Also, googling the subject immediately gives a number of reliable sources, which are also in English:
Current article may be bad but if it's bad enough to delete the article can honestly just be blanked and restarted as a stub. Maybe delete everything cited to state-sponsored news, condense the rest, and leave it at that? Mrfoogles (talk) 09:06, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a crypto entrepreneur, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for businesspeople. As always, CEOs of companies are not "inherently" notable just for existing, and have to establish that they pass WP:GNG on third-party coverage and analysis about them and their work -- but five of the eight footnotes here are primary sources that are not support for notability, such as his own company's press releases and his own self-created YouTube videos and a "staff" profile on the self-published website of an organization he's directly affiliated with, and one more is an unreliable source crypto-news forum. And what's left for reliable sources is one Forbes article that just briefly namechecks him as a provider of soundbite and one Forbes article that completely fails to contain even a glancing namecheck of Peter Wall at all, and instead is just here to tangentially verify stray facts about a company.
As always, Wikipedia is not a free LinkedIn alternative for tech entrepreneurs, so nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced much, much better than this. Bearcat (talk) 12:56, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify as suggested: nominator is being unnecessarily harsh by calling it "not a free linkedin alternative" but I cannot find sources googling that are not associated with him, by him, or coverage that does not go into detail of him being in various positions.
Per Wikipedia:Notability, significant coverage (at least a paragraph specifically talking about him and who he is) from at least two reliable, independent (not affiliated with, employing, employed by, working together with him) sources is necessary for an article so that it can be written sufficiently independently and in-depth.

      The book notes: "Monarch Pass, c. 1936. People have been skiing the mountains surrounding the valley of Monarch Mountain since 1914. Monarch's first unofficial winter season was in 1936, when James Kane and the Salida Winter Sports Club brought a Chevy truck engine up Monarch Pass highway. Other skiers instrumental in the initial opening of the area were Thor Groswold, Sven Wiik, and Charlie Vail. By 1939, the club applied to the US Forest Service for a permit to cut trails, construct a lodge, and erect a lift. The first run cut at Monarch was Gunbarrel, an expert trail with a 30 percent slope. During the first official ski season of 1939–1940, season passes cost $1. Rope tow revenues netted over $50, with 25¢ day tickets. Ownership of the resort changed multiple times, with each change resulting in additional lifts, more terrain, and a base lodge. Stability returned to Monarch in the 1990s after a turbulent decade throughout the 1980s when the area filed for bankruptcy. In 2006, the Mirkwood Basin opened to skiers and riders willing to hike."

      The review notes: "Monarch is rare in the ski-resort world, running on 100 percent natural snow (about 350 inches annually) leading to the resort’s motto “We don’t make snow. Mother Nature does.” The resort’s base elevation of nearly 11,000 feet helps keep the snow fluffy and frequent. And most of the more difficult trails remain un-groomed, providing a true backcountry feel with the ease of chairlift access. And for anyone looking for more than a backcountry feel, there are 130 acres of hike-to terrain."

    3. Scoville, Peter (January–February 2012). "Monarch Mountain". Skiing. EBSCOhost 70248700.

      The review notes: "I first discovered Monarch Mountain in the winter of 1995. I was on my annual pilgrimage from the Front Range to Crested Butte for its ski-for-free weekend when we pulled our old Subaru Outback, bottoming out under five ski buddies and gear, off U.S. Highway 50 into the area's dirt parking lot for a pee break. ... Somewhere between cheap lift tickets, nine inches of fresh pow, nonexistent lift lines, and steep shots like Gunbarrel and High Anxiety that filled back in after every lap, I fell in love with Monarch Mountain. We ended the day in the Sidewinder Saloon, Monarch's only bar, for an après-ski scene that embodied all of the comfort and camaraderie a down-home, slopeside watering hole should. Though I didn't realize it then, that chance stop sold me on the beauty of Monarch and reminded me why I love skiing. Fast-forward 16 years, and nothing much has changed at Monarch. It now sports a terrain park and new steep lines and tree runs that came with the 130-acre expansion into Mirkwood Basin, but those improvements only built upon the fundamentals: deep snow, few crowds, and an unpretentious group of hardcore skiers and beginners alike."

      The review provides more information: "Average Snowfall: 350 inches. Skiable Acres: 800. Vertical Feet: 1,162. Advanced/Expert Terrain: 58%. Lift Ticket Price: $57."

      The article notes: "For this special occasion, deep-winter getaway, a retro theme seemed apropos, with “most snow” and “funky factor” used as criteria for mountain selection. Monarch Mountain, circa 1939, which has been getting hammered by storms all season, won out. Modest in vertical rise — just 1,162 feet of elevation gain between its 10,790-foot base and the 11,952-foot peak – Monarch packs a lot of punch and fall-line skiing into an area slightly larger than Aspen Mountain. At the start of an early January storm that would drop 35 inches in less than 24 hours, we set out from Aspen for a deceptively long drive given Monarch’s close-as-the-crow-flies location (like Crested Butte) in the central Rockies."

      The article notes: "This project has been years in the making. PowderMonarch LLC, which owns Monarch Mountain ski area, filed its application for the expansion on Oct. 6, 2021.

      The article notes: "The ski area had built itself on grit. Locals in 1936 formed a sports club on the mountain, powering a shoddy rope tow with a six-cylinder truck engine. The pass was finished over the next few years, spelling greater access and higher popularity. ... All the while, Monarch has resisted the industry trend of glitz and conglomeration. Possibly on deck for the future: a terrain expansion on the mountain’s backside, along with another lift."

      The article notes: "Monarch Mountain has come a long way from a one-run wonder to the 75-year-old beauty it is today. When Monarch opened in 1939, it was constructed by Works Project Administration workers and featured a 500-foot rope tow driven by a gear box from an old oil derrick. Today, Monarch features six chair lifts and 54 runs plus nearly 1,000 acres of back country skiing opportunities."

      The article notes: "I’ve always bypassed Monarch, assuming it didn’t have enough terrain to keep me interested. I was wrong. The cozy, 800-acre ski area doesn’t have any on-mountain lodging. The closest is the no-frills Monarch Mountain Lodge a few miles away, where you can get a room for about $100 and a free shuttle to the ski resort. Nearby, you can explore restaurants and shops in town, swim laps at the Salida Hot Springs Aquatic Center downtown, or detour over to Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort after a day of skiing and plop yourself into a pool of steamy water right along a riverbank. Monarch Mountain officially opened as a ski area in 1939, but its off-the-beaten path location means it’s less crowded."

      The article notes: "For more than 80 years, this central Colorado ski area along the Continental Divide has drawn powderhounds. Its fairly modest size — 800 acres and a 1,100-foot vertical drop — is counterbalanced by 350 inches of average annual snowfall that can stay untracked for several days past a storm, plus guided snowcat skiing on 1,600 additional acres of advanced terrain. Experts also love the hike-to, backcountry-style runs in Mirkwood Basin. Recent required thinning of pine-beetle-stricken trees has opened up more gladed skiing across the mountain. (Denver-based Meier Skis sells custom Monarch models using some of that harvested wood.) Many guests opt to stay in the artsy, riverside town of Salida, 20 miles east."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Monarch Mountain to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
