List of songs referencing Elvis Presley (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)

This list fails WP:NLIST and I can't find sourcing indicating that this list topic has been discussed by reliable sources. A good number of these songs are unsourced, and this is simply a trivia page. We deleted a page like this relating to Beyonce, and I don't think we need one for Elvis either, or any artist for that matter. 750h+ 13:22, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will be first to admit this is a notable topic. But the article is 100% LLM slop, with all the greatest hits: Meandering text, uniformly-sized and -paced subsections, bulleted lists, "advantages and disadvantages", the obligatory "implications for..." section, key principles and niche offshoot applications given equal weight in the text. It's an absolute mess.

I just finished a complete rewrite of another article that was LLM-written and structured very similarly to this one. I didn't think it should be deleted because it too was a notable topic. After that ordeal, I don't ever want to bother again. Blow the whole thing up and let a user who actually cares write the article. This one at least has real references to get you started. An article created without effort should be deleted without effort. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 10:53, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of meeting WP:NFILM. Last deleted by prod in 2021, with the rationale "Does not satisfy any version of film notability guidelines because the film seems to be in development limbo, so that an article is crystal balling.". The previous version was created by User:Rashkeqamar, now blocked as a sock of User:Chutrandi, with the title Nastik (2018 film). That was moved to Nastik (upcoming film), then prodded. In a WP:BEFORE search, I can find no evidence in English or Hindi RS newer than 2018 that the film will ever see the light of day, apart from passing mentions in articles about notable film actors, e.g. [1] and [2], where it's described as "in the pipeline" or similar. This new attempt was originally titled Nastik (Varma) for some reason. Wikishovel (talk) 09:23, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence of coverage in his own right in sources, either in the article or via a Google search.

  • Comment. The source above is pretty short, and I am unsure if it is reliable. Pl wiki has nothing better. It seems like a person that should be notable but right now we have little to go on, except primary sources. Pl wiki does have, in further reading, a two-page reference to a book - would be good to verify what's there. PS. I started AfD on pl wiki and asked for a scan of the pages; ping me if this is relisted/closed and I'll update on current progress. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:22, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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

American Baptist pastor and theologian (BLP). The sources all seem to be academic references to his work (the kind of thing that any academic would have), or references to his own organisation (Way of Life). As previously tagged by another editor, there's not a single source here that provides significant coverage of the subject as such, and so this fails WP:BASIC. I don't think there's any basis on which he would meet WP:ACADEMIC either.

The article was previously deleted via an AfD in 2008. Dionysodorus (talk) 07:58, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • I thought that by now, the amount of referencing the person had was sufficient for inclusion, for example the sources of Straub, Jeffrey among others discussing his life and work without being merely brief in their descriptions. However, I may have been mistaken. --ValtteriLahti12 (talk) 08:51, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Straub discuses Cloud just for a few sentences, alongside several other people who probably wouldn't fulfil our notability guidelines (p. 50 here), and the other items cited all seem to be routine brief academic references, or work written by Cloud himself or his organisation. To meet WP:BASIC, we would need maybe two or three sources independent of Cloud that discussed him in detail in a way that implies recognition of his significance, which I don't think we have here. It would be good to hear what some other editors think though. Dionysodorus (talk) 23:17, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vietnamese medical doctor (BLP). I can see (with the help of Google translate) that the references are mostly just passing mentions or articles quoting the subject, so nothing amounting to significant coverage that would meet WP:BASIC. The only page actually focussing on the subject is this one (i.e. ref. 4 on the page), which seems to be a bio on a commercial website. Nor does the article list any specific achievement that would suggest notability. But I don't speak Vietnamese, so it may be that there is better coverage that I cannot identify.

Subject fails WP:NMMA because they are not ranked in the top ten in the world, with their current ranking being #77 in Bantamweight and their best ranking being #55 - see HERE. Subject also fails WP:GNG for not having significant coverage from independent. reliable sources where byt the sources talk about the subject in length and in depth, and not only passing mention.

  • Delete He fails to meet WP:NMMA and rankings do mean something. Boxing has relied on it for decades. However, for WP it's more important that he meets WP:GNG and my search for references did not find what I would consider to be significant and independent coverage. I found fight announcements, posters, results, and even interviews--but nothing to convince me WP:GNG is met. Of course I had to rely on machine translations since I don't speak or read Polish.

  • Keep UNESCO condemed his murder andv it seems to have gotten quite a bit of coverage in Latin America. I think the fact that he was a citizen jouranlist investigating corruption in Colombia who was then murdered for his work warrants a keep. Agnieszka653 (talk) 17:32, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Agnieszka653: I wonder if you are familiar with WP:CRIME and WP:1E? These policies make it clear that subjects who are known only for being the perpetrator or victim of a single crime are not eligible for articles of their own. There might be a case for moving the article to Murder of Jaime Vásquez if the event can be shown to meet WP:EVENTCRIT (per the discussion above), but an article on Jaime Vásquez as an individual person is unambiguously against policy (unless it can be shown that he is notable outside the context of this single event).

Helioplex (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)

Nomination rationale: Helioplex fails WP:NOTABILITY due to lack of significant coverage in independent sources. The article is a 2-sentence stub derived mainly from a template and lacks encyclopedic value. It exists only via cross-linking through Template:Johnson & Johnson, representing WP:SPAM and WP:PROMO concerns. The entry promotes Neutrogena's branded product rather than describing a notable chemical formulation. Per WP:NCHEM, this violates naming conventions for chemical compounds. See Talk:Helioplex#Removing Helioplex per WP:SPAM, WP:NOTPROMOTION, and WP:NOTABILITY violations for policy analysis. DemocratGreen (talk) 02:18, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For the record (since the talk page content will get deleted if the article does), here is the content at that talk page section:

Text generated by a large language model (LLM) or similar tool has been collapsed per relevant Wikipedia guidelines. LLM-generated arguments should be excluded from assessments of consensus.
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Helioplex fails fundamental notability requirements and represents promotional content masquerading as encyclopedic material. The article is being considered for deletion under WP:AFD, and this section documents the rationale based on Wikipedia policy violations:

1. Notability Deficiency (WP:GNG): The Helioplex article is a 2-sentence stub with minimal sourcing, existing primarily because the Template:Johnson & Johnson artificially creates inbound links. Per WP:NOTABILITY, the subject lacks "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." No evidence of sustained attention from independent secondary sources exists.

2. Template-Based Link Farming (WP:SPAM): The article is included in a major corporate template that injects 50+ artificial links across unrelated Johnson & Johnson articles without substantive context. This is a violation of WP:SPAM, which prohibits "citation spamming" and use of Wikipedia to promote through link schemes. The inclusion appears driven by SEO/link farming concerns, not editorial merit.

3. Brand Name vs. Chemical Structure Violation (WP:NCHEM): Helioplex is a marketing name for a UV filter combo (avobenzone + oxybenzone), not a distinct chemical entity. It does not meet the bar for a standalone article under WP:NCHEM conventions. Other commercial filter names (e.g., Z-Cote by BASF) have been removed for identical reasons — being brand names without independent notability.

4. Promotional Content (WP:NOTPROMOTION): The page reads as a marketing blurb. Its widespread appearance via templates suggests intent to elevate a proprietary product brand under the guise of encyclopedic content.

5. Conflict of Interest (WP:COI): Editor User:Chefmikesf has declared a paid editing relationship with Johnson & Johnson on other talk pages. The inclusion of marginal brand names into high-visibility templates raises WP:COI concerns about promotional editing and undisclosed bias.

Caution for Future Edits: Future attempts to include brand names into corporate templates like this one should be scrutinized carefully for notability, neutrality, and independence from corporate influence.

Per WP:NCHEM, brand names for chemical formulations should redirect to the actual chemical compound articles (e.g., avobenzone, oxybenzone) and not exist as stand-alone entries unless they meet notability through independent sourcing. This article does neither, and its continued existence appears to function primarily as brand visibility support.

I am nominating this article for deletion because I am questioning the subject's notability. The few sources currently provided have reliability issues and are not placed or cited correctly. Much of the information appears to be unsourced or poorly sourced, which raises verifiability concerns. Without sufficient high-quality sources, the subject does not merit a standalone article per Wikipedia's inclusion standards.

Appears to have won some significant titles in his sport. Lots of passing mentions in Blackbelt and Jet magazines in google books and some coverage in TV Guide magazine in the internet archive. A to Z of sport : the compendium of sporting knowledge names him specifically as a star athlete in its entry on the sport of kickboxing which I think makes him significant as a reference work is highlighting him as significant in the context of the wider sport. This book mentions him briefly but calls him "a kickboxing legend". His work as an actor in the film Blackbelt is covered in these film encyclopedias: [20], [21] In searching newspapers.com there are tons of hits on him. I didn't search much through the archive but got significant articles on him (I can't clip the way my access works, so apologies for not sharing) such as Mitchell, Kent (March 30, 1984). "Nice Guy Hefton is 'Bad' in the Ring". The Atlanta Journal. p. 81. and "PKA's Brad Hefton". The Monitor. September 18, 1984. p. 19. There are literally over 10,000 hits and as far as I can tell pretty much all related to him; although many are fight announcements or television appearance announcements.

The subject fails GNG. The bulk of sourcing consists of routine mentions, primary references, or self-authored works. While seems like marginally notable under WP:PROF, independent in-depth coverage about the individual is lacking. The article relies heavily on institutional affiliations and committee memberships without sufficient secondary sources to establish broad notability. Thilsebatti (talk) 00:29, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I must respectfully disagree with the assertion that Arghya Sengupta fails to satisfy Wikipedia’s General Notability Guideline (GNG). Although it is true that many of the current citations on the page derive from Sengupta’s own publications—sources that were more accessible to locate—there nevertheless exists a robust corpus of independent, secondary media coverage demonstrating his public notability, much of which I have duly cited.
Sengupta has occupied a significant position within India’s legal-policy landscape for over a decade. He founded the Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy in 2013, which The Economic Times has described as India’s “most influential legal think tank.” He has served on numerous "high-level" Government of India committees, contributed to the drafting of landmark legislation such as the Nuclear Liability Act, and represented the government in major judicial proceedings—including Binoy Viswam vs Union of India and Puttaswamy vs Union of India. While minute legal details of these cases may fall outside Wikipedia’s scope, what remains germane for the public record is Sengupta’s leadership in shaping the contours of India’s legal-policy sphere.
It is also pertinent to note that numerous Wikipedia entries for living persons persist with far fewer citations than those supporting Sengupta’s coverage—further underscoring that his page is no less deserving of inclusion than many already present.
Moreover, independent journalistic sources such as The Caravan provide valuable qualitative insights and substantiate his prominence. As one article observes:
“For some time now, technology-related policy-making started with a group of private entities … working with the government with exclusive access to data, to build software and applications. The code that is developed this way is then translated into law”—laws that Vidhi then helps formulate, almost exclusively. “The law is framed to cover and fix the vulnerabilities of the code” developed by these private entities."
Such commentary highlights the substantial influence wielded by Vidhi—and by extension, Sengupta—over India’s evolving data and privacy governance landscape.
Together with the economic, institutional, and judicial sources I have cited, these independent accounts affirm Sengupta’s notability under applicable Wikipedia standards:

In conclusion, retaining the page on Arghya Sengupta, as a start class and even low-importance Wiki Project India article, would facilitate the continued incorporation of up-to-date and verifiable information about the subject's professional contributions, thereby ensuring that Wikipedia remains a reliable and comprehensive resource on India’s legal-policy landscape.

The sources cited do not establish the type of in-depth, independent coverage required by WP:GNG. The Print and Times of India pieces are routine mentions in the context of broader issues, not substantial biographical profiles. The listed interviews are primary/self-promotional sources (eg: Youtube), not independent secondary analysis. Routine visibility in panels, op-eds, or podcasts does not confer encyclopedic notability. Per WP:PROF, mere participation in debates or founding a think tank does not meet criteria without significant, sustained scholarly impact demonstrated through independent sources. The attempt to argue for retention by lowering the bar (“start-class, low-importance”) is not a basis for inclusion; notability is binary. Thilsebatti (talk) 10:21, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Thilsebatti, thank you for noting the routine mentions in The Print and The Times of India. However, I would also like to draw attention to the other sources listed, which I believe add more substantive coverage. In line with WP:PROF, there does seem to be a reasonable body of independent sources discussing the subject’s work, several of which I have already cited in the original article. I would encourage fellow editors to review the article and the sources carefully and to exercise their own independent judgment before moving toward deletion. For context, there are also a number of other biographies of living individuals currently on Wikipedia with less clear notability that have nevertheless been retained.

  • Delete - GNG "how" is seemingly there, but the Notability, so the "what for" is not present. So here we are on WP:BIO - three criteria are listed, and I can't get any RS fact into any of the three criteria. If we drill down to WP:PROF, which is a stretch since he's not fundamentally an academic, again no RS fact matches. He's not a judge, so that one is out. Looks like WP:PROMOTION to me, since there is not one adverse fact, this guy is purely legendary, as written. I would like to see more comments/SIGCOV via RS about what people say, or analyse, about him, rather than what he says. ChrysGalley (talk) 16:57, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @ChrysGalley: Appreciate your thoughtful feedback! Let me address your points so that other editors can follow the discussion clearly.
    First, on the question of what the subject is notable for: I have tried to emphasise that he is a prominent Indian lawyer, legal scholar, and an influential figure in the legal policy space. That said, I understand your concern that this could be made more explicit, and I am open to improving the emphasis so that the “what for” is clearer.
    Second, regarding sources: I respectfully disagree that there are no independent, reliable sources. The references currently include critical coverage as well as neutral reporting. That said, I do recognise the importance of strengthening the article with further independent, secondary analysis, and I encourage fellow editors to add such material. I am also open to rebalancing the references—e.g., removing the subject’s own works and retaining only independent sources—to ensure the article adheres closely to policy.
    Third, on the concern about promotional tone: I want to clarify that the article was created in good faith as a straightforward biographical entry, based on available material. The intent was not to present a “legendary” narrative, but to provide a structured overview of the subject’s career (à la an academic biography, in a linear fashion) and invite collaborative contributions. I acknowledge that including interviews and the subject’s own works may inadvertently give that impression, and I am open to trimming or adjusting such content in line with WP:NPOV.
    In short, my goal is not to push a particular view of the subject but to document their career within Wikipedia’s guidelines, with input from other editors. If consensus is that the subject does not meet notability standards, I will of course respect that. But in the meantime, I hope we can work together to strengthen the article with reliable sources and balanced coverage. Achintya2023 (talk) 17:50, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This defunct Turkish 'citizen journalism' website appears to fail WP:GNG, the closest thing I could find that was close to SIGCOV was a short paragraph in this paper published by Freedom House, and even that's dubious because of how short it is. There's a couple of interviews with the two founders from 2013 when it was created (such as this in Milliyet) but nothing that even comes close to making this meet GNG.

@Liz Please point to a policy explicitly stating it can't be kept without specific SIGCOV sources being located. That seems explicitly again WP:NEXIST. Ike Lek (talk) 02:27, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That would be because NEXIST "requires only that suitable independent, reliable sources exist in the real world", not that they may exist - flimsy "guarantees" by an user notwithstanding. More importantly, see WP:BLP. Geschichte (talk) 04:21, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
NEXIST requires it to exist, not that it be located. Another quote from it is "Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article.", meaning that an article explicitly can be kept on the possibility of additional SIGCOV if there is consensus that doing so is appropriate based on the likelihood of existent SIGCOV. On top of that, NEXIST doesn't actually have to be met if there is consensus that a subject is notable regardless. We can disagree on some of the finer points of how this is applied, or ideologically how this should play out in AfDs, but the relist comment given by Liz in not based on policy.

Not encyclopedic; article is only a collection of links with no real sources. Appears to fail WP:LINKFARM. Ternera (talk) 16:00, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly the current list has issues but it can be fixed. The notability guidance for standalone lists (WP:NLIST) lists 2 requirements:
  • WP:NLIST #2 requires individual entries either link to their own articles or cite reliable references if not notable on their own. This can be done with pruning in a few minutes. I'm happy to do it.
To make the list smaller and more manageable, I suggest we limit the list to a reasonable number of larger malls - either >50,000m2 (48 entries) or >60,000m2. That can also be done in a few minutes -- I've already got the draft on my laptop.
--A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 01:34, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to trim the list to sensible criteria, I'd be more than happy to alter my recommendation to keep after the clean-up. I'd prefer the >50.000 m2 as an inclusion criteria. LightlySeared (talk) 13:27, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While I like the idea of maintaining lists of buildings for architectural history I don't see much value in this list and it can probably be combined with another page on commercial architecture in Germany post WWII or something. Agnieszka653 (talk) 21:14, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Major revisions to the list:
    • I changed the criteria from 5,000m2 to 60,000m2 gross leasable area
    • I removed 569 malls. There are just the 30 largest left The list is 6308 bytes, not 63,000+.
    • I ranked the malls by size
    • Most of these malls are themselves notable on the German Wikipedia; I have begun interwiki linking entries to the German articles if we don't already have an English article.
As noted previously, there are multiple reliable references that refer to German malls as a group. --A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 22:36, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:TooManyWalls.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Exciter106 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log). 

This cover artwork was used only for promotional reasons in the United States--it was never released on CD there, so this artwork would not be recognized by many people. In other words, the image provides very little contextual significance (NFCC#8). The Australian artwork is similar but features a blue border, so this image won't suffice as a description of that region's artwork. Considering the commercial UK artwork is now in the article, the usage of this image seems to be excessive (WP:NFCC#3a). ResPM (T🔈🎵C) 11:30, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Undecaploid

Not mentioned at target. Occurs at Ploidy#Polyploidy, but I would argue that should be removed since there is barely any attestation for that term looking at a Google Scholar search (the more correct "hendecaploid" seems to be slightly better attested). 1234qwer1234qwer4 13:29, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Retarget Finger locking and Finger LockingTrigger finger. Nearly every hit on the first couple pages of Google refers to this. Sources aren't necessarily MEDRS but are public-facing, patient education sites reflecting common usage. "Locking" appears in the lead and in the description of signs and symptoms, including in the inbox ("prominent mention" is satisfied). Delete Finger lock. This form is far more vague and ambiguous. On Google this refers to using fingerprints to lock/unlock smart phones and other types of locks, some type of product I'm not familiar with, the self defense/martial arts move, this implement for banjo picking… --MYCETEAE 🍄‍🟫—talk 20:01, 10 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Anorexia (medical condition)

[edit]

Current target is Anorexia (symptom), but I think this disambiguator could also apply to Anorexia nervosa. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 02:28, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect as per Clovermoss. The lead of Anorexia (symptom) states that it's a symptom that could 'indicate a serious clinical condition'. Thus, it is not a condition in and of itself. Since the redirect is looking for a condition, redirecting to Anorexia nervosa seems best. Katiedevi (talk) 03:47, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Katiedevi this is currently a redirect, do you mean “retarget” instead? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 06:10, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Brand new redirect with an implausible disambiguator. Anorexia already redirects to Anorexia nervosa. Presumably someone thought this would make it easier to find the page on the general term, which would make retargeting completely bypass that. But in that case, it's completely pointless, as someone is farrrr more likely to just look for "anorexia" in the first place. Even still, I think the fact that we're here shows that it's pretty vague, and best to just let hatnotes and dab pages direct people where they need; this redirect being here isn't going to make it any easier to find anything. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 06:13, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Templates and Modules

Only two albums, WP:NENAN --woodensuperman 13:28, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maintenance template newly created for use on just one article, with no evidence of any wikiproject consensus that it would be needed. As always, maintenance templates should not just be casually created on a lark -- because they require regular ongoing editor attention, there needs to be a consensus of editors that they're needed and will be used, rather than being created willy-nilly by just one editor for just one article.
Specifically, the problem here is that this template was coded to apply an Category:All pages created by bots tracking category that doesn't exist, as well as a dated-monthly Category:Wikipedia articles created by bots from August 2017 subqueue (which also doesn't exist, and would require the "all pages" tracking category to be populated into the thousands before it was justifiable) -- but precisely because maintenance templates generate process overhead like that, a wikiproject would need to establish a consensus that the new process and tracking queue were needed.
Further, we already have numerous cleanup and maintenance templates to track the various individual issues that bot creation can cause, so it's much more useful to tag for those specific problems than it would be to just indiscriminately track bot creation as its own standalone thing.

Propose merging Template:Contradicts other with Template:Contradicts others.
These templates were created in 2005 and 2010 but have become redundant. Apparently the "other" template was made for referring to one article, and the "others" template was made for referring to multiple. However, this seems moot now as the doc page of the "others" template shows accommodation for a single article entry. Proposing to merge "other" into "others".
