Error with the September 28 listing

[edit]

Currently, the listing for September 28 is saying that all 73 discussions are closed. However, the Báthory family (of the Aba clan) AFD that is also from that day is actually still open for some reason. Does anyone know why this happened? And can an admin close the AFD?

The cultural impact of Christina Aguilera

[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_impact_of_Christina_Aguilera

This article should be deleted altogether. It is packed with fan-fiction and should not be on Wikipedia. 2003:E7:1746:B700:6C0A:5319:96AF:62D8 (talk) 10:47, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page for AfD but I feel too new to go through the process myself

[edit]

I came across an article that I think is a candidate for AfD, but I'm still pretty darn new to Wikipedia. I've read WP:BEFORE, I just don't feel confident enough to do myself yet - from a knowledge and a practical using Wikipedia standpoint. I will learn how someday, but I'm hoping it's okay if I share it here for someone with more experience to nominate?

The article in question is Osborne Morton and I didn't find evidence of notability for WP:NACADEMIC or WP:NAUTHOR. It seems to be created by the person originally, and largely edited by them, with no COI declared (not sure how long that policy has been in place). Although they seem to have been very active in the past, the user's accounts (all self-declared) Osborne (contribs), Gigartina (contribs), and Phycodrys (contribs) don't have activity past September 2020.

Thank you! Cyanochic (talk) 01:32, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Given the lack of active editing on the article, I suspect that you could use the much simpler WP:PROD and it would likely lead to the article's deletion. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 02:03, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great I'll do that, thank you! Cyanochic (talk) 03:26, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Josette Marie Laure Baisee

[edit]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josette_Baisse

Is it appropriate to delete this article because she's too insignificant of a person to have her own article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yusuf Michael (talkcontribs) 20:41, October 13, 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you're posting here when you already created an AfD? You'll doubtless hear whether other editors feel the article should be deleted as part of that discussion. DonIago (talk) 17:08, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrectly formatted AfD nomination for Xuemin Lin

[edit]

Could someone please fix the formatting for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xuemin Lin? The nominator appears to have just created a plain text page with their nom reason. The article appears to be tagged correctly though. Fork99 (talk) 10:04, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fork99, I've fixed the discussion page. --Ratekreel (talk) 11:32, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Francesco Banchini

[edit]

'Unregistered users placing this tag on an article cannot complete the deletion nomination and should leave detailed reasons for deletion on Talk:Francesco Banchini and then post a message at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion requesting that someone else complete the process. If the nomination is not completed and no message is left on the talkpage, this tag may be removed.'


Hello, see the message above. I'm new, don't want to register, but would like to help clean up a self-promotor...could some chap please take over? 31.30.165.218 (talk) 11:53, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome! The AFD process is somewhat redundant to the PROD process you've also tagged the page with (and in fact, AFD normally prevents a PROD from going through) but I believe our speedy deletion process is appropriate, so I have tagged the page accordingly.

Cheers, I'm new and not with the lingo 31.30.165.218 (talk) 14:15, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no lighting in the sources. Only press releases and links to themselves. 95.153.180.247 (talk) 09:07, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Given the lack of substantive editing on these articles in recent years, I have used the WP:PROD system to suggest deletion on your behalf. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 13:44, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure back door deletion of possibly unwatched articles is a good thing. If no one is watching them then AfD will give them proper attention, Atlantic306 (talk) 18:52, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are certainly welcome to deprod them and take them to AfD. The problem with unwatched articles going through AfD is that the lack of people watching often means no one participates in the AfD, and they end up going through several rounds of relisting and sticking around not because anyone objects, but because no one bothers to be involved. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 20:02, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly irrelevant, but I couldn't figure out what "There is no lighting in the sources" meant – is this some obscure jargon I haven't encountered before? — ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · contribs · email) 23:59, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Given that the IP is Russian-based (and is commenting on Russian-related entries), I am not expecting perfect English. I guess I took it as nothing that shines the light of notability on the subject. The first is only sourced to an annual report, the second has no references (one external link, but it's to the subject's website.) The one below has more sourcing, but I'm not in position to easily evaluate the quality of that sourcing. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 00:56, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page for AfD - Rebecca Tamás

[edit]

Would appreciate discussion being opened. Cannot go through process myself as an unregistered user. "Daughter of Someone Famous". This is a vanity page which refers to self-published poems and lists university awards as reason for notability. No substantial or notable press or internet presence. Not something one would expect in a generalist reference. Rebecca_Tamás 80.194.211.108 (talk) 22:50, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand your comment about this article. Would you be able to explain about what your concerns are? It is important to make certain that this conversation is grounded in Wikipedia's content policy, and not personal opinion --and without ad hominem reasoning. Rebecca Tamás is an established poet with an emerging body of published work and critical recognition; this seems to meet the notability criteria. If you have any specific elements that you find lacking or problematic in the article itself, please point them out so we can work to constructively improve the page. :PaliGol (talk) 10:29, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
