Indira IVF

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

Fails WP:NCORP. Routine corp news or WP:NEWSORGINDIA type of sources are not enough to pass WP:CORPDEPTH. Gheus (talk) 18:31, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Indira IVF meets WP:NCORP as a leading fertility clinic network in India with 150+ centers, significant media coverage (Economic Times, Livemint, VCCircle, Financial Express), and a $1.1 billion private equity acquisition (BPEA EQT). Its IPO plans, industry leadership, and national healthcare impact establish WP:CORPDEPTH.

Bader Alomair

Comment - as the author of the article I probably oughtn't to vote but regardless of the current depth of coverage (which isn't bad) I am reasonably confident that there remain other sources which I have not yet located, either in English or in Arabic. The BBC News article refers to some of them: "We discovered news articles highlighting instances of Mr Alomair helping those left homeless by a hurricane in Florida, for example. But we also discovered his assistance had extended to more controversial situations." I couldn't find anything on the former incident but it looks like something's out there.

Redirect to ESNE Radio: I suspect if there was enough significant coverage to justify retaining a separate article here (beyond the 2001 Santa Maria Times article), the nominator would not have taken this to AfD.

ANSER

This is an article on a particularly important company, however, it has languished for eight years with only two marginal sources, a situation faced by many B2B and B2G firms. Unfortunately, a thorough WP:BEFORE search fails to find anything that could redeem it, however, this may be frustrated a bit by the non-unique name. I would particularly welcome anyone who can salvage this article and will happily withdraw this nomination if someone can but, I'm afraid, from where I'm sitting right now -- having exhausted a variety of avenues -- deletion is the only realistic outcome.

Leaning keep, or move to draft.

Royce Cronin

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

Completely unreferenced article about an actor. As always, actors are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on third-party media coverage about them and their performances -- but this cites no references at all, and is written in a semi-advertorialized tone that's not complying with WP:NPOV.
As he's a British actor whose strongest claims to potentially passing NACTOR are television roles from 20 years ago, I'm willing to withdraw this if a British editor with better access to archived UK media coverage from the noughts can find enough GNG-worthy sourcing to salvage it, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have any referencing.

I've declined a speedy deletion request as this isn't substantially identical (or even similar) to the version that was deleted at AfD last year. However, none of the previously raised concerns appear to have been addressed—this is still sourced exclusively to routine coverage in databases, with no indication of significant coverage (by Wikipedia's definition of the term). ‑ Iridescent 17:39, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Ode-to-Napoleon" hexachord

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

Looking at the Friedmann 1990 book, the very first source cross-referenced by the article body, I find on page 113:
This hexachord, called by some the "magic" hexachord, is used in Schoenberg's Ode to Napoleon Bonaparte.
Similarly, the Straus 2005 book does call (014589) "the hexatonic collection" on page 97 and then proceed to have a section about the hexatonic collection on page 149. Then some quick searching to find something not cited by the article turns up Richard Cohn's Audacious Euphony which says in a footnote to "a hexatonic scale, alternating semitone and minor third" on page 20:
Jazz players know the same pattern as the augmented scale, […] It has also been referred to variously as the Ode to Napoleon collection, Miracle hexachord, Liszt model, source-set E, 1:3 collection, and set class 6–20.
All these certainly seem like a lot of verification of the existence of this. Uncle G (talk) 19:56, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Taxi Maxim

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

No indication of importance No source was found either within the article or outside the article that meet notability. According to Wikipedia's notability guidelines (WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV), a subject must receive significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources to merit an article. All sources used herein are not secondary and do not comply with Wikipedia rules WP:ORGTRIV WP:SECONDARY. Wikipedia is not a promotional medium. Self-promotion, product placement, press releases, branding campaigns, advertisements, and paid material are not valid routes to an encyclopedia article. Information that a company has started operating in a particular country is still not proof of notability, since it is not a measure of the attention the company has received as well (WP:SPIP). By not deleting this article, Wikipedia risks breaching its own policies designed to maintain the quality and reliability of its content.

Keep. Our article says he is a full professor since 2022, so the nominator's comment about associate professors would seem to be completely irrelevant (also dubiously valid: assistant professors are rarely notable but for associate professors I don't think that presumption applies and we need to take each case on a case-by-case basis). Membership in European Academy of Sciences and Arts (note: EASA, not the less-prestigious EURASC) might be enough for WP:PROF#C3, and I think #C3 is even more clear through membership in a national academy (Academy of Sciences and Arts of Bosnia and Herzegovina). Editor-in-chief of a journal from a major publisher (SAGE) might be enough for WP:PROF#C8. And I think his citation record (h-index 37, with 9 triple-digit citation counts) is less weak than the nominator states, enough for WP:PROF#C1. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:55, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This page doesn't reach WP:NACADEMIC, nor other notability criteria. The facts aren't in dispute, as Frantz is doubtless one of the main clinical contributors to a range of clinical trials. No named chair; impact of research is minimal (Scopus H-index 13), and that is obtained almost exclusively from mid-author publications. The most cited of their 1st-author publications seems to be Franz et al, 1989 (American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1989, 108(5), pp. 524–528), with 26 citations.

Keep – Meets WP:NACADEMIC and WP:GNG Notability Criteria

Hi! While this at times has been frustrating, I do want to thank you for your diligence in keeping Wikipedia free of spam and promotional content and making sure entries meet rigorous standards. That said, I’d like to emphasize the sheer scale of Dr. Frantz’s contributions. I believe this case merits closer consideration. Not trying to be hyperbolic, but LASIK is one of the most transformative medical advancements in history, shifting vision correction from a lifelong dependency on glasses to a permanent solution for tens of millions all over the world.

I will also present an academic argument against the criticism about being a mid-tier author.

Before excimer laser research, there was no surgical way to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism—now, it is the most common elective surgery globally.

One of the critiques of this article is “minimal impact.” That couldn't be further from the truth. The research behind excimer laser technology laid the foundation for LASIK, and Dr. Jonathan Frantz was directly involved in those early FDA trials that helped bring it to market. His contributions weren’t theoretical—they were part of the regulatory approval process that turned laser vision correction into mainstream medicine.

Dr. Jonathan Frantz meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for academics and medical professionals (WP:NACADEMIC) and the general notability guideline (WP:GNG). The deletion rationale states that his research impact is minimal, but this does not account for his significant role in the development and FDA approval of laser vision correction, a transformative advancement in ophthalmology and modern medicine.

== Major Contributions to Ophthalmology & FDA-Approved Treatments ==

Dr. Frantz was a principal investigator in clinical trials that contributed to FDA approvals for major ophthalmic treatments, including excimer laser technology (LASIK/PRK) and glaucoma drug Lumigan (bimatoprost).

His early excimer laser research in the 1980s laid the foundation for what became the most common vision correction surgery worldwide, with millions of procedures performed annually.

His clinical trial leadership is documented in peer-reviewed journals such as Ophthalmology, Archives of Ophthalmology, and Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science.

== Addressing the "Mid-Author" Criticism ==

A critique has been raised regarding Dr. Frantz’s role as a mid-author in publications. However, it is important to recognize how authorship in medical research is structured. In academic institutions, attending physicians—who are responsible for maintaining tenureship and securing funding—are required to take first authorship on studies, even when much of the research and writing is done by fellows, residents, and junior researchers. This is standard practice across academic medicine and does not diminish the contributions of those in secondary author positions. In fact, fellows and researchers at this stage are typically responsible for the majority of the hands-on research, data analysis, and drafting of papers. The fact that Frantz appears as a named author in major peer-reviewed journals demonstrates his active participation in high-level clinical research, even if he is not always listed as the first author. Dismissing his contributions based solely on authorship order misrepresents how medical and scientific research operates.

== Peer-Reviewed Citations & Research Impact ==

While it is noted that many of his citations are mid-author, Frantz has also co-authored first-author studies on FDA-approved treatments and has been widely cited in refractive surgery research.

His published works contributed to clinical studies that helped validate PRK, LASIK, and advanced intraocular lenses.

His research appears in top-tier medical journals with dozens of citations, demonstrating lasting academic influence.

== Independent Media Coverage Establishes GNG Notability ==

WINK News (CBS affiliate) featured Dr. Frantz in 2019 as the first surgeon in Southwest Florida to implant the newly FDA-approved PanOptix trifocal intraocular lens for cataract patients.^[1]

The Naples Daily News reported on his introduction of the VERION image-guided cataract surgery system.^[2]

He has been featured in trade publications such as Ophthalmology Management and EyeWorld, which are independent industry sources.^[3]

== Meets WP:NACADEMIC via Clinical Research & Institutional Recognition ==

Frantz has led NIH-sponsored research and presented at major medical conferences, including the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO).

His work has been cited in national-level clinical studies that shaped current refractive surgery techniques.

He has received industry-recognized awards, including the American Academy of Ophthalmology Achievement Award and being listed among America’s Top Ophthalmologists by independent rankings.

== Conclusion ==

Dr. Frantz’s contributions to ophthalmology meet both WP:NACADEMIC and WP:GNG standards. His pivotal role in developing FDA-approved eye treatments, extensive peer-reviewed publications, and independent media coverage confirm his lasting impact in the field.

This is a case where the subject’s contributions to medical science, rather than pure citation metrics, establish notability. I also have presented the argument against the criticism about being a mid-tier author. If any specific sections are seen as non-encyclopedic or promotional, I am happy to review and refine them to align with Wikipedia’s guidelines. Editora89119 (talk) 18:45, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have some sympathy with those who publish academic work but are not based in a university. It seems to me that we provide a record for posterity of quite a lot of very nondescript professors who've got themselves into a named chair and merely sat in it doing a bit of teaching, while academics who move out into industry and health care can influence lives dramatically, publish, and still be considered unworthy of a record here. Unfortunately I can't justify keeping Frantz based on Wikipedia's policies, but his article is a better read than those of quite a few distinguished chief editors who've done no notable research. Elemimele (talk) 17:33, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Elemimele:

You comments are thoughtful and helpful because I believe there is a larger concern at play.

If Wikipedia is now biased against private practices, that will have a chilling effect, greatly limiting the information available on Wikipedia and in fact making it an irrelevant source of information. Medical advancements and innovations often come from practitioners who are outside of traditional university systems, and excluding them from documentation would create an incomplete and skewed representation of history.

You raise an important issue about how Wikipedia determines notability for medical professionals outside of traditional academia. Dr. Frantz’s case is exactly that—his influence has been clinical, research-based, and regulatory, rather than tied to a university professorship.

While I respect the concern that Wikipedia's policies lean toward academic tenure as a qualifier, I’d like to emphasize that Frantz’s contributions meet the standard of significant impact in medicine. He played a direct role in clinical trials leading to FDA approvals for laser vision correction (LASIK/PRK) and glaucoma treatments, both of which have transformed millions of lives. His work appears in peer-reviewed journals, has been cited in further ophthalmic research, and has been featured in independent media, all of which demonstrate broad recognition beyond his private practice.

I understand the need to apply Wikipedia’s policies consistently, but WP:NACADEMIC explicitly includes individuals who have made significant research contributions and whose work has been cited as significant within their field—a standard that Dr. Frantz meets. Additionally, WP:GNG (General Notability Guideline) does not require university affiliation, only significant coverage in reliable, independent sources, which has been provided.

If you believe there are ways to better structure the article to focus on its strongest encyclopedic elements, I’d welcome any suggestions. The goal is not promotion, but to ensure that Wikipedia reflects the full scope of notable contributions to modern medicine—including those that happen outside of academia.

Thanks again for your perspective! Editora89119 (talk) 18:46, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The other reliable sources I could find mentioning Suicidal-Idol are all mostly about her song "Ecstacy":

Billboard: SUICIDAL-IDOL's "Ecstasy" reaches a new peak, jumping into the top 10 for the first time at No. 3.

Switched on Pop: We don't really know who this person is. It's an artist who has used the name gore.x.shawty and Heartfelt and is currently going by Suicidal-Idol. They have a song called "Ecstacy" which was originally released in July of 2021 but just went viral on TikTok in 2023, especially with the slowed-down remix of the song.

Official Charts: Earning their first Top 40 entry today are Suicidal-Idol on their viral debut track Ecstasy (33) ...

Polygon: On Oct. 2, a humor account with the handle homestucklover398 shared a video where a young boyish voice sang a parody of the 2022 song "ecstacy" by Suicidal-Idol. The video and sound became an overnight hit on TikTok, where people reacted to the seemingly nonsensical lyrics of the song.

Looking at this now, it might make more sense to merge this into the page for "Ecstacy", but I'll wait to see what others think. benǝʇᴉɯ 20:51, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirecting a musician to one of their songs or albums is uncommon in Wikipedia history because if one of the releases is notable, the musician is typically notable for that reason. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:06, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Despite some comments above, the article (as I type this) still has a bunch of unreliable sources. For actual reliable sources on this musician, I don't think they are only about "Ecstacy" and even if they were it wouldn't matter. The musician satisfies criterion #2 at WP:NMUSICIAN: "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." They also have a sales certification from RIAA. Admittedly there is little to work with because the musician is relatively new to the scene, but for now there is enough for stub article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:10, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Literary work

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

This page is just a dictionary entry, and doesn't cover any ground not covered by Literature. It was created as a stub in 2005 and remained unexpanded for a year before being converted into a redirect. It stayed a redirect for almost 20 years before @Piotrus changed it back into a stub. Except for some category maintenance, it hasn't been expanded. It needs to go back to being a redirect. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 17:51, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It's a stub, with plenty of potential for development, as seen from the sources cited (the topic is notable, with plenty of WP:SIGCOV, and is the main article for Category:Literary works). Which is a different topic from literature (a bit more narrow - it's like saying we don't need article on car, because we have automotive industry...). It exists as an article in 13 other Wikipedias. It simply needs to be expanded. WP:AFDNOTCLEANUP (or explicitly: WP:IMPATIENT). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:45, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Expanded how? What's a thing that's a "literary work" but not "literature"? Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 13:43, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  The concept of literature and a literary work are related but distinct ideas in literary studies. Literature is a broader concept encompassing not just literary works but also theories, genres, traditions, and critical perspectives on literature (ex. discussions about what qualifies as literature, its purpose, and its role in society). Literary Work is a more narrow concept, and refers to a specific piece of literature, such as a novel, poem, play, or essay. If you need an example. Concepts like steampunk, poetry, or rhyme are part of literature, but are not literary works. Literary works are specific works like [name a random book or poem here]. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:22, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. I don't think it's possible to expand this article any further without creating redundancy with Literature. Astaire (talk) 00:48, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect because, as I have noted above, there are already articles on the various types of literary works, which are listed at Literature#Types. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:22, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is possible to expand the article. And clearly some of you would be amazed at the amount that the world has written trying to define what a work is, and having wild disagreements with one another to the extent that they don't even agree about abstractions. literary work is to literature as work of art is to art and musical work is to music, to put it somewhat simplistically. Moreover there are several other definitions of literature (e.g. scientific literature, or the literature of a particular country or language) that do not apply to literary works; which our literature article is truly terrible at explaining, making it seem like they are the same thing to people who haven't read (for starters) Raymond Williams, Peter Lamarque, or Nie Zhenzhao on the subject.

If it's expandable, then somebody would have expanded it by now. Find something, anything, to say about "literary work" that isn't redundant with "literature". Even one sentence would be enough to make your case. But if you can't write that one sentence, why even argue for saving the article? Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 23:45, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First, it existed only for a few weeks (as a stub). Second, a lot of very notable but a bit abstract concepts don't have Wikipedia articles yet. Third, you are conviniently ignoring the fact that a dozen+ wikipedias are prefectly happy to have articles on this (and literature), and nobody there is seeing the need to merge or delete them. Fourth, it seems Uncle G is expanding this right now. Please do take a picture of you WP:TROUTing yourself. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:29, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If my last comment was a bit off, sorry. That said, I believe WP:TROUT applies to this nom. As well as a failure of carrying out a WP:BEFORE, or even reviewing the refs present in the article at the time it was nominated, each of which deals with the concept of "literary work" in a way that clearly meets WP:SIGCOV. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:51, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I make my share of silly mistakes on Wikipedia. But not this time. I took care to describe how this stub went unexpanded for a whole year, spent 20 years as a redirect, then another four months as an unexpanded stub. You chose to ignore all that and make fun of me. I'm not going to engage with you further. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 12:15, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Since in your post above you contradict yourself, treating four months as an entire year - yeah, I don't think there's much else I can say except what I already did. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:57, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - User:Uncle G has now expanded the article and its potential has become evident. My concern is that the article, due to the possible arguments about its scope, might become a magnet for controversy and use up editor time unproductively. If we follow Peter Lamarque, this page might have a solid topic but how many people follow Lamarque? EdJohnston (talk) 16:03, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think this discussion would benefit from a brief summary of what content might belong here but would not belong at the literature article. It would make it easier to make an informed decision about the merits of having a stand-alone article on the topic "literary work" (i.e. make a WP:PAGEDECIDE call). TompaDompa (talk) 19:24, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@TompaDompa, could this be it? Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 05:17, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's why I'm asking. "The article can be expanded with this" is a partial answer, so to speak—are there other things it could also be expanded with? Or contrarily, could that instead be covered in the other article? TompaDompa (talk) 06:19, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Technically, literary work is a subset of a broader concept of literature (just like, let's say, science fiction film is a subtopic of science fiction). Here, we can discuss some topics (related to what is or isn't literary work, what are their characteristics, etc.) more broadly. For example, the idea that most scientific work is not literary work - encyclopedic nugget of information that does not need to be present in article on literature. And various other things mentioned in the article here, not mentioned in literature. Up to an including various definitions and disagreements regarding the very concept of literary work, which Uncle G discusses in his write up - important stuff that has little need of being merged or discussed extensively in article on literature (where at best a brief summary of this can be included). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:49, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My answer below, as to "other things it could also be expanded with", would be "an additional thousand years of arguing about what is and is not a literary work," for which I can particularly think of material from the 18thC and the 1920s. (Also some material on whether letter collections are literary works.) In addition to adding sections on specific periods/debates, I think that would also lend itself to a section on commonly-cited characteristics of literary works, e.g., complex or elevated language; moral improvement of readers; non-commercial or non-political content; etc. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:11, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Ignore all rules for the bigger picture. I'm absolutely certain that our core readership - secondary school and college students - will be looking for this article. Bearian (talk) 16:04, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As the current state of the article now shows, there is a large and somewhat exhausting body of scholarship debating what constitutes a "literary" "work". Getting into the details of this definition at literature would weigh that article down, as it is tasked with the already-large problem of summarizing everything else about literature. I think it would be useful to treat this as a spin-out of the current "Definitions" section at literature; accomplishing that effectively would expand literary work even further with a longer historical overview of these debates, since they didn't begin in the 20thC. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:06, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Salman (myth)

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

This article – an ORPHAN'd stub – has existed for nearly 20 years, and as far as I can tell, during this time it has not had a single reliable source to support its contents. Put simply I don't think this deity is even real – the only source it has right now doesn't mention it at all, and is used to source the existence of another deity that the article claims it might be related to – again, with no source.

Comment original source was https://web.archive.org/web/20160304193127/https://pantheon.org/articles/s/salman.html (blacklisted) "Salman" entry in Encyclopedia Mythica, since removed. Article content seems to confuse Shalman (deity), Shalman (Bible) and Shulmanu. fiveby(zero) 17:44, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As well as Shalim, based on the Solomon claim. Sinclairian (talk) 17:52, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How's your German? Salman appears to be from inscriptions found at Dadan:
Höfner M. (1970). Die Religionen Altsyriens, Altarabiens und der Mandaer. p. 372. SLMN (Salmän)... cited by Dictionary of deities and demons in the Bible DDD our only reference.

Höfner M. (1965). "Salmän". Götter und Mythen im Vorderen Orient.
Pretty confusing but maybe a redirect to Shalim? fiveby(zero) 19:20, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, the sources are referring to Shalim, not some god named "Salman". Sinclairian (talk) 20:40, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Höfner in any case does refer to a god under the name of "Salmān". So there's that, even though I don't get yet if that may be the same god as Shalim. Höfner refers back to yet another source on the topic:

Caskel, Werner. Lihyan und Lihyanisch. pp. 46, 48–49, 58.
Thanks for Caskel, i'll try to find a full copy. I'm wondering how Šulmán from William F. Albright (JSTOR 41662002) and S/Šalmänu from Karen Radner (both seemingly covered in the Shulmanu article) are related to our S/Šalmän. Šalmän and Šulmán are described as Syro-Mesopotamian (Becking does cite Albright but not very clear) and Šalmänu described as Akkadian (one source clearly discussing our Šalmän cites Radner.) I don't know if i'm reading the sources correctly or maybe our sources just cannot be definitive as to how they are related. fiveby(zero) 18:46, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep After following the citations. Becking's 'Shalman' entry is a valid reference, same deity, it is just his particular choice of romanization. Maria Höfner from above has: "Salmän (Šalmän)", S with caron (see del Carmen Hidalgo-Chacón Díez above Figure 4 and "in Dadanitic, the reflex of the Proto-Semitic */š/ and */s/ was pronounced [ʃ]". There probably won't ever be much content, just a list of attestations. I'll add sources to the article. Should probably move back to Salman (deity) tho. fiveby(zero) 06:25, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. To my (pretty limited) understanding of the Near East, the Reallexikon der Assyriologie und Vorderasiatischen Archäologie is a bit like what Brill's New Pauly is for Greece. Radner's article in the RIA seemingly discusses this figure, and her 1998 work "Der Gott Salmānu („Šulmānu”) und seine Beziehung zur Stadt Dūr-Katlimmu" seems to be devoted to the matter. Seeing as this 1998 paper cites Becking's article in the DDD, they would all seem to be speaking about the same deity. Höfner is cited by Becking, and the two are clearly talking about the same figure. That would mean that, seemingly, we have around half a dozen sources, at least one of which is very detailed; so, there's enough for an article of some form.

As to Shulmanu, looking at the relevant part of the linked source (pp. 388–389), their use of Radner 1998 in discussing the figure means that the two are talking about the same deity, and so (assuming that Radner 1998 and Becking are indeed referring to the same figure) I think all of the sources here are discussing the same figure. If this is indeed the case, Shulmanu should probably be merged here (as I think "Salman" is the more common name, though "Salmanu" would perhaps be best?). – Michael Aurel (talk) 01:39, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Radner cites Becking to say the connection is uncertain and unlikely in her opinion:

Whether Salmānu is to be identified with s/šlmn in Old South Arabic texts, šlmn in Ugaritic texts and (ršp)-šl/rmn in an Egyptian votive stele of the 20th and 21st dynasty[citing Becking] is uncertain and irrelevant to our discussion. However, I consider a connection to be rather unlikely.[also see fn 26 on "extremely speculative attempts to connect to Solomon and Jerusalem]

also:

Following up the aforementioned hypothesis of a pre-Islamic origin for these Arabic names, it makes sense to relate them to theophoric anthroponyms with this Semitic root. Two pertinent deities in the ancient Near Eastern pantheon are the Syro-Mesopotamian god Sulmän (cf. Albright1 932) and the Canaanite deity Salim. The deity S/Šalmän "is attested in Hatra, Palmyra and in North and South Arabian texts" (Becking 1 999 :758). Höfner & Merkel ( 1 965 : 466f.) portray him as a horseman ' s deity; the name form recalls Akkadian Sulmänu.
— Borg, Alexander (2001). "The Enigma of SLM Personal Names among the Bedouin in Sinai and the Negev". Mediterranean Language Review. 13: 175–193. JSTOR medilangrevi.13.2001.0175.

I think that's enough to say Cannanite Salim, Syro-Mesopotamian S/Šalmän and Akkadian S/Šalmänu should be clearly different topics. Still unsure about Šulmán. fiveby(zero) 18:13, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I did see that... I think my confusion arose from the fact that the Mesopotamian Šulmānu is the same figure as the Aramaic and Hebrew šlmn, just – in Radner's view, at least – not the Ugaritic šlmn (figures with the same name, both Northwest Semitic, but apparently separate...). Becking does also note that there are scholars who have seen the Ugaritic and Egyptian figures as being Shulman, though he only cites Albright for this view (who is presumably out of date), leaving it unclear as to who else (if anyone else) might have been of this opinion.

As to Šulmānu and Šalmānu, the latter is the Assyrian name for the former (that is, the two are the same figure). So there would seem to be two figures here – Šalmānu and S/Šalmän – who are (at least in Radner's view, and I think we can trust her) separate. Timm, I notice, is a little more agnostic on the matter, stating that the Egyptian name might refer to our deity here or to the Akkadian god, and saying that the former may have been widespread already by the Canaanite period. Whatever the case, it's probably sensible to keep the two pages separate, discussing the attestation of our deity here from the Middle Assyrian period through to the Roman/Byzantine era, and moving the page on Shulmanu to a better title; then the degree to which the two are separate can be discussed appropriately at each article. – Michael Aurel (talk) 06:43, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of tallest buildings in the European Union

Keep The article stood for over a decade. The European Union is a sui generis federative superstate and as such I find it reasonable to have a separate list for buildings on its territory, seeing it as a near parallel to List of tallest buildings in the United States. Therefore this isn't a redundancy with List of tallest buildings in Europe just as List of tallest buildings in the United States isn't redundant with List of tallest buildings in North America.

Yes, the previous AfD got it wrong and not enough users got a chance to voice their opinion. The article has been on Wikipedia since 2007... It's no good to delete it with 4 votes just like that Chick Pea Corea (talk) 01:26, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This nomination refers only to the reasons in the previous nomination which states "It's basically the same list as List of tallest buildings in Europe minus Russia and Turkey." That is a flawed rationale. The United Kingdom and Switzerland are also not present on this EU list, and none of the top 21 buildings on the Europe list are present on the EU list. So rather than the lists being "basically the same" they are completely different. As to notability, numerous sources (e.g books) refer to the "tallest building in the EU", referring to various specific buildings depending on publication date as the tallest changes over time and buildings move down the list.----Pontificalibus 15:29, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Do those sources cover the tallest buildings (plural) in the EU, e.g. by providing a top list or a timeline, or only the tallest building (singular)? TompaDompa (talk) 15:49, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  WP:NLIST states "one accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group" which means it is not a requirement. It also states "lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes are often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability". This list clearly falls into that category.----Pontificalibus 08:49, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  It's not really discussing the buildings as a group if the sources are only stating which one is the very tallest, though, is it? That's why I'm asking. TompaDompa (talk) 08:59, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  I didn't suggest it was, as I said there is no notability requirement that the buildings as a group should be discussed in sources. ----Pontificalibus 12:00, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  No, but it would strengthen the case for keeping the list. I take it then that they do not. TompaDompa (talk) 13:18, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. List of tallest buildings in Europe should cover all these buildings. This is merely a subset. The EU is not any sort of state, but merely a collection of states. So what exactly is its purpose? -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:38, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And yet the List of tallest buildings in Europe will limit comparison, because many cities in the EU simply have no buildings over 190m tall.

Please avoid patronising other editors. I'm fully aware what the EU is and is not. But given every country within it also has (or should have) its own list of tallest buildings, this list is pointless. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:11, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
And nothing should stand against making such a List of tallest buidlings in COUNTRY X page. This is a free encyclopedia. But as such, and note this page has been around since 2006/2007--so almost 20 years--a European Union-specific list has attracted specifically large attention and demand.

Well, so far, no cogent argument for essentially discriminating against the EU has been put forth. And I say this as an EU citizen. Yes! There is such a thing as an EU citizen! In fact all citizens of member states of the EU are EU citizens. Is there such a concept in ASEAN? :) Chick Pea Corea (talk) 09:21, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Discriminating? I would on the contrary say that your position constitutes advocating for giving the EU special treatment—we have these lists for countries and continents, but the EU is neither. Would you equally be in favour of corresponding lists for the Commonwealth of Nations, NATO, African Union, United Nations, and so on? If not, why not? What is it that makes the European Union a relevant grouping in the context of tallest buildings? TompaDompa (talk) 10:21, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

People are only citizens of the EU if they are citizens of an EU member nation. There is no separate EU citizenship. It is the nation state that is important, not the EU. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:39, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Though not every EU member state is part of Shengen, there is a free market in the EU. Also, these EU citizens (while still having their national passport) have an 'EU citizen style' ID-card. These facts don't turn the EU into a superstate overnight, but it's a process that has started in the 1950s and is ongoing. Stating that the EU is merely a collection of states is denying an decade-long integration process. Not too be missed: the EU not only has a flag, a parliament, elections and laws but also an anthem. KatVanHuis (talk) 15:53, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This list renders a completely different result from List of tallest buildings in Europe, exactly because it leaves out Russia, Turkey, the United Kingdom (and Switzerland). Which means that indeed Moskou, Istanbul and London don't contribute; creating a better comparison in the sense that more countries and cities qualify to be in this list. KatVanHuis (talk) 18:12, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Question We could, conceivably, create similar lists for any number of groupings or countries (or whatever): List of tallest buildings in the Iberian peninsula, List of tallest buildings in Western Europe, List of tallest buildings in the Schengen area, and List of tallest buildings in European NATO member countries are just some of the possible lists we could create. Many of the possible scopes would overlap susbstantially with others. Given that the geographic scope of the list currently under discussion is a proper subset of the scope of list of tallest buildings in Europe (and a superset of List of tallest buildings in Germany and so on), what is the case for this particular scope having a separate list? Do sources comment on this particular geographic scope in the context of the tallest buildings specifically, or is there some other reason? TompaDompa (talk) 11:27, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So far there are: List of tallest buildings in the Balkans, List of tallest buildings in the Baltic states and List of tallest buildings in Scandinavia. KatVanHuis (talk) 15:39, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That does not answer the question. TompaDompa (talk) 16:50, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That's correct. Yet it shows that lists exist about entities other than countries or continents. I'm sure that (for instance) the Baltic states have strong ties; the integration of EU member states is not going to be less strong. KatVanHuis (talk) 07:52, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per the German IP (WP:NOTAVOTE) just above and per Pontificalibus's comments specifically "referring to various specific buildings" not "buildings as a group" as in, "...there is no notability requirement that the buildings as a group should be discussed in sources. This list is WP:original research and synthesis. It does not matter how "important" the European Union is, how big a "spat" they have with Trump, or the increasing pan-EU identity, without sources a keep !vote is only "but we like long, unsourced repetivelist "lists", which the many ones listed (including this one) is redundant, and unsourced, as groups. Even if Turkey joins the EU the policy states, Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. The fact that improvements are needed for Wikipedia lags far behind article creation. An Admin closer is supposed to consider all the !votes based on policy. It does not matter if all the individual buildings pass WP:NBUILDING or GNG. Ranker.com gives the top 25. Worldlistsmania.com lists 21, with an additional 14 in cities. The criteria for passing notability is what is published significatnely in reliable and independent sources. This article lists 90 buildings, with an additional unsourced 37 in the "Buildings by pinnacle height" subsection, a further 15 in the "Buildings under construction" subsection, and let's add 8 more in the "Timeline of the tallest buildings in the EU/EEC" subsection. Sources added on individual building do not count. skyscrapercenter.com is the closest list (one) and it not a reliable source. an It is advertising site that informs us we can join at the $10,000 level or the $500.00 level. If there is proper sourcing for the list, not one person has added it. As some form of full blown, unsourced, and lengthy aid to navigation: This is why we have categories. As for the lame argument that other stuff exists, an example of redundancy would be List of tallest buildings in North America and List of tallest buildings in Canada. Trump has not yet bought Canada, which is, according to sources, in North America-- Otr500 (talk) 11:23, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The question before us is not whether the European Union is the same as Europe, or even whether the two lists are similar. The question is whether WP:NLIST is met by having this list discussed as a group by independent reliable sources. Other considerations, such as current political alliances, are irrelevant and will be discarded when closing this.

Keep. I have found several sources discussing the tallest EU buildings as a group but the notable thing is that there are so few tall buildings.[3][4][5] However there is no requirement for external discussion of the topic as a group - this is only one possible criterion. The relisting comment immediately above shows a slight misunderstanding of WP:NLIST which actually says One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. It does not say that this is the only accepted reason. Thincat (talk) 18:23, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Might also note explicitly that WP:Notability is neither necessary nor sufficient for a WP:Stand-alone list article to be appropriate. Non-notable topics may be appropriate for lists if they serve e.g. navigational purposes, and notable topics may be inappropriate for e.g. WP:TOOBROAD, WP:NOT, or WP:PAGEDECIDE reasons.

Keep, Sure, being a target for blogspammer and promo material should not be a reason for deletion, by that logic we might as well delete the article on search-engine optimization and phishing as well. Coming back to the more legitimate reasons for deletion, I see atleast six highly reliable sources, a NYT article (which imo is about as RS as it gets), a ArsTechnica article (which is a pretty reliable for tech articles), a Tech Crunch article (by a author who does not appear to have a conflict of interest with the product), a Gaurdian article, a Laptop Mag article, a 404 media article (which tbf I cannot access) and a Merriam Webster entry. This is above and beyond the kind of notability that is typically required for most tech articles.

In addition, regarding the claim of "only a single tweet", that unfortunately how tech trends go. To bring up a similar(ish) example, DOM clobbering, started out as a term used by a WP:SME in a blogpost before it started being used by almost everyone in browser security. I see this case as being similar, AI coding is not a new thing or a new concept, a notable WP:SME, (Karpathy) has called that not-new-thing "vibe coding" and the rest of the industry has run with it. That does not invalidate the fact that the concept is notable and a article is still needed about the topic regardless of what we want to call it. Sohom (talk) 15:36, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unquestionably fails WP:SPORTCRIT by a large margin. Never played a single league match above the fourth tier in Japan. Kept before for reasons that are no longer valid; for appearing in a single cup match - the guidelines that were applied no longer exist. As Kotaro Kume barely had any football career, there is no significant coverage either.

Weak Delete First, I've seen no evidence in this article or anywhere else that this person has ever met Elon Musk, let alone has a "friendship" with him except, I suppose, in an abstract way in which everyone from Silicon Valley is friends with everyone else? In any case, to evaluate notability:

→ The Atlantic: 27 paragraph biographical profile on the person that is the subject of this article from a generally reliable outlet [16]

→ Reason: 5 paragraph biographical profile on the person that is the subject of this article from a generally reliable outlet (these 5 paragraphs, in the publication's voice, appears prior to a longer, Q&A style interview)

→Business Insider: Mentioned by name 23 separate times from a no consensus outlet, with significant biographical information included, albeit not a "profile" in the form of the above two

→ Brief (1-2 sentence) mentions in the Los Angeles Times, Engadget, and Inc. inclusive of biographical tidbits (i.e. more than a drop quote)

This is basically like one mildly substantial piece of coverage away from tipping into being unambiguously notable. That said, if there's even the slightest moment of hesitation on a BLP we should, in my opinion, delete first and ask questions later. This may be a rare case of a person who is obviously a public figure -- someone who, to quote Lewis F.

Beware of thinking that creeks are small and unimportant. Some can turn out to be overwhelmingly notable, with reams of documentation from county histories to water-supply papers. Never idly go by what it "seems like". Do the research.
In this case the research reveals that the totality of what is known about this creek comes, via Bernice Eugenia Johnson's 1933 thesis (hdl:10355/64422 doi:10.32469/10355/64422) and the Robert L. Ramsey Place Names Collection (which then went into the GNIS, which here is cited as though it is an independent source), from 1 sentence in the Bates county history (The History of Cass and Bates counties, Missouri at the HathiTrust Digital Library) and Johnson's primary research that added a detail.
The Atkeson county history has stuff that when read in full turns out to be about Mingo Township.
I have a modicum of experience doing creeks, and this creek I'd list as a tributary in South Grand River, which is an GNIS mess article that could do so much better given what sources are available.

Keep: The subject clearly passes WP:NCORP. The sources I found through a Google search [17], [18] and [19] provides significant coverage on the subject not just brief mentions or routine announcements. Taabii (talk) 13:35, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is a Fortune 500 and NIFTY 500 company and highly likely to have coverage in secondary independent sources. In addition to the in-depth sources provided by the above editor, my searches yield analyst commentary[20], independent reporting[21][22][23], and critical reports by independent analysts[24][25]. These sources are more than enough to establish notability under WP:NCORP.Chanel Dsouza (talk) 09:59, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I made the same error in evaluating a company solely based on analyst reports at Senco Gold's AFD.

In this 2, although the research analyst has no financial stake in the company, Apar Industries is part of Capitalmind's Premium Portfolios, as disclosed at the bottom of the article, which funded the report. Therefore, it cannot be considered entirely independent. In the other analyst report 3 & 9 - both points to same link, it is explicitly stated on the last page, in the third paragraph from the bottom, that IDBI Capital (the entity that commissioned the report) or its associates may have received compensation from the company in the past 12 months. Also, they may have managed or co-managed a public offering for the company within the same period. These disclosures indicate potential conflicts of interest, making the report as an invalid source. Charlie (talk) 17:12, 15 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nomination. This was tagged for prod, but because the tagger formatted the template incorrectly (they added the tag manually and thus didn't date it) it got left out of the prod queue and not deleted even after the seven-day prod period expired, but then somebody else came along later and backdated the prod template to the time of its original addition, thus generating a redlinked dated-maintenance category that no longer exists because everything else in it had already been deleted.
So, since the process mistakes left the page unaddressed, but I'm obviously not going to recreate an already-deleted dated-maintenance category just for this, it needs to come to a wider discussion.
The prod tagger's stated rationale, for the record, was "This article does not meet the guidelines for notability", and the article does seem to be staking her claim to notability on YouTube views and internet radio airplay rather than WP:NMUSIC criteria, but I leave it to consensus to decide, and have no opinion other than fixing a process error.

Fails WP:NCORP. This article has been deleted multiple times here. Creator is a WP:SPA and we have had a lot of promotional edits where even the company itself tried to edit this page. Even now the article looks like a promotional piece. I see there a quite a few pieces from Ottawa Citizens which are basically PR pieces that are largely interviews with the founders and little independent in-depth content that would pass the WP:SIRS criteria.

Delete - Not sure the COI or previously deletion is relevant as those were six and 10 years ago respectively. However, the page clearly fails WP:NCORP. The few sources I did find are mainly about the founder and only mention the company so fails WP:CORPDEPTH. Nothing out there I can find that satisfies WP:ORGCRIT.

I found a Globe and Mail article HERE but it's behind a paywall. The Google blurb says "Opinion: UNLOCKING INDIA'S PROMISE ...He and his partner Mike Manson have helped arrange several deals through their Taraspan Group, which is part of IT entrepreneur Terence Matthews ...". Maybe someone with a subscription could check it out. —Anne Delong (talk) 21:52, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Because the article was not originally written from a neutral point of view, it was sent to WP:AFC and went through the vetting process there, so it should be judged by its own merits and not because of its initial unacceptable state. The Ottawa Citizen is a respected daily newspaper, publishing since at least 1851. I tried to look at those news articles, but only one of the links still works. I found a second one in a paywalled archive. I'm the one who added them as references, and although I don't remember what they said, I assure you that I wouldn't have included them unless each one was (1) written by a reporter, and (2) contained some information in the words of that reporter, that supported facts in the Wikipedia article. Imcdc, if you were able to read the other three articles, can you please link to where you found the text?—Anne Delong (talk) 23:15, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I will post the archive and working links for viewers to see and decide if WP:NCORP is supported.
Globe and Mail (1 and 2) Both are mainly about Raj Narula first and have a significant portions quoting him which hurts independence. Removing these there is not much in-depth about Taraspan itself. Seems like a PR piece.
Ottawa Citizen (1 and 2) Focus is on co-founders. Also again there are independence concerns. (3 and 4) Brief mention of company - Imcdc Contact 13:48, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Container Bob

Looks like a WP:BLP1E fail to me; this was a fairly short news story in 2001, which is made mildly more interesting by some post-9/11 hysteria but still doesn't get any lasting or other notability. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 19:14, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Egypt, Italy, and Canada. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 19:14, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. WP:BLP1E C1-2 are clearly met, but I'm concerned about C3 as it seems like his role in the incident was substantial and well-documented. There was some additional coverage in 2002[26][27] and 2006[28]. He's also mentioned in some government reports (both US and Canada) and scholarly articles[29] about maritime / shipping container security, and in an article (not in-depth coverage of him) in 2014.[30] Zzz plant (talk) 00:57, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment all the sourcing says container boy. This seems to be maybe notable (maybe convert into an event article?) is there a reason we're calling this Bob or is this a 13 year uncorrected typo? PARAKANYAA (talk) 02:01, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Huh! Maybe that's what made source searching difficult, but I'm still not convinced by the sources above to meet the even higher NEVENT bar. The first three are opinion columns, government reports usually don't confer notability, a mention might but i don't see any new facts, and shallow coverage doesn't confer notability. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 03:16, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Like, if this is "substantial and well-documented" coverage, most flash-in-the-pan news stories would pass BLP1E. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 03:17, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hence why I did not vote as I didn't check myself for notability. Just saying "maybe". Just noting the typo. PARAKANYAA (talk) 04:57, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

PARAKANYAA, you speak French to a certain extent, right? Because of the Canadian connection I've found vague references to a few French-language sources. I've only been able to get to two so far, because my computer is going through a bit of an anglophone phase, but do you reckon there's anything usable in these? [31][32] The second one is about a novel by Nicolas Dickner, so obviously unusable for facts, but might point to the event still being referenced by popular media over ten years later. Depending on what it says, of course.

Also sorry, theleekycauldron, but I've added some more modern/academic sources that I think are okay, so I'm making you do the source analysis all over again. I'm kind of with you that I'm not completely convinced this should be a standalone article, but given all the passing mentions over ten years on, the lack of a good merge target, and the fact that this information does seem useful to have somewhere... I'm torn. GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 10:52, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yellow Rat Bastard

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

This article has basically been ghostwritten by a person representing Yellow Rat Bastard. The business is not very notable (very few people know of its existence, even for the people who walk by Broadway every day) and from the image, it seems like a local mom and pop shop, which is clearly not notable. The creator of the page is a user account User:Shadowlurker112 which has made 3 edits, and all of them to this article. Clearly a promotional account. In recent times, an editor User:YRBNewYork has also edited the article and was blocked because of failing to disclose COI and their username was promotional. I fail to see how this is notable in anyway, plus on top of the fact that promotional accounts have ghostwritten the entire article leads me to nominating this for deletion.

Checca sauce

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

First of all, the title of the page is incorrect because "checca sauce" seems to be unknown in Italy, and in fact the article immediately refers to the pasta dish, namely pasta alla checca (https://www.cucchiaio.it/ricetta/pasta-checca/). Coming to the point, we had previously deleted the pages pasta all'ortolana and bomba calabrese because they weren't encyclopedic; I propose to do the same thing with this article.
