Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion

message: Please file an AFD for :Kottankulangara Festival. The rationale is "Not large enough to split. A section already exists in the main article. Besides, article size is 6616 bytes (markup), fails WP:SIZESPLIT & WP:SIZERULE. Title is also somewhat misleading as Chamayavilakku is only one among multiple events held as part of temple festival." 157.46.158.170 (talk) 10:59, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

message: Once again, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/Today is not displaying a list of today's nominations. Instead, it has a link to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2024 May 13. I wish people would leave the mostly harmless articles alone, like England women's cricket team in Ireland in 2024 alone (wait a few months and it will become a obviously notable topic) and concentrate on hoaxes and unverifiable claims.

This organization article is missing independent, reliable sources to establish notability. The only reference is a dead link. After searching, found only social media, but no comprehensive, in-depth coverage of this specific organization.
Please submit for "Second nomination" as I'm not sure how to do this correctly. Thanks. JoeNMLC (talk) 12:27, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

text: @Grabup - not on Twinkle. Have a simple notepad file with crib-notes on how to do stuff. Mostly working on de-orphan & unref. articles. Not a lot of AfDs & rarely the 2nd nom. ones. JoeNMLC (talk) 15:59, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

message: I would like to nominate Supersci for deletion with the following rationale:
:Non-notable group, going by available sources. Both with its current ("Supersci") and its former ("Superscientifiku") name, the group is mentioned on some Swedish websites, but with very few exceptions (e.g. sv:Sundsvalls Tidning) either these sources are non-reliable, or the subject is mentioned only in passing.

thread_title: AFD Request: [[Supersci]]

message: I would like to nominate :List of the youngest mayors in India for deletion with the following rationale:
The article appears to be a PR stunt (WP:NOTADVOCACY), created right after Arya won the mayoral election (indirect) and was publicized by the CPIM as the youngest mayor, a claim that is also disputed (see talk page). It does not meet WP:NLIST criteria, as the list has not been widely discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, aside from the heavily publicized political appointment of Arya. Among the entries, only five have sources verifying their age and youth; the others rely on original research, violating WP:LSC and WP:SOURCELIST.

thread_title:  Mistake? 

message: I would like to nominate Sam's Chicken for deletion with the following rationale:
:After attempting to clean up the article (with resistance), it has instead become apparent that it's a pretty clear fail of WP:NCORP.   The article currently has 3 sources: First, a primary report from a local government council about a small fine for illegal dumping of trash, shouldn't even be used, let alone establishes any kind of notability.  Second, a Standard article about SCs being targeted in attacks for ethnic reasons isn't really about the company.  It might belong on some kind of "Sinhalese-Tamil relations in London" article or something, but it doesn't help establish notability of the company itself.  Last, a Guardian article about SC along with other fast food chicken joints being investigated for poor worker treatment/conditions.  This is certainly the best, but it's not enough on its own, and it doesn't go into any real depth about SC itself.  I was able to find no more sourcing beyond the above, either.
:TL;DR, this is a small local fast food chain, and there just isn't enough about it to warrant an article.

thread_title:  AFD Request: Korean excrement balloon incident 

message: This page appears to be a mixture of unsourced information, original research, and potentially self-promotion.
* The primary source for the page, and for the majority of its life the only source, is a Time Magazine article entitled Festivals: Romantic Revival. The article was published in 1969 and is merely a review of a particular event held that year which featured Romantic music (and which was not even called "Romantic Revival"). The Time article contains no claims about broader historical trends of Romantic music experiencing a revival in the cultural consciousness starting in the 1960s, as the Wikipedia page does. In fact, far from suggesting that this is (in 1969) the beginning of a cultural shift, the author is openly derisive of the Romantic music played at the festival.
* The text about Ates Orga's championing of the revival, added much later, is supported only by an accompanying reference to a book written by Orga, and not by any independent source positing the notability of Orga's activities.
* The text about the Romantic Revival Orchestra, also added much later, appears to be entirely self-promotion. No source is provided other than a link to the website of the entity described.

message: I'd like to nominate CDK Company for deletion with the following rationale:
:Possible WP:G11, but I figured AFD is better, just to be safe.  Even neglecting the promotional tone, the subject of the article pretty clearly isn't notable.  Despite the ref-bombing of the lead, none of the sources discuss the dance company (or collective, or whatever-it-is-exactly) in any depth whatsoever.  Rather, they all boil down to something like "hey, go watch this neat viral video" fluff, and only of those even spends more than a couple sentences on it.  Further searching revealed no sourcing of use.
