2025 Bloomington, Illinois, mayoral election (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)

The 2025 Bloomington, Illinois, mayoral election was a run of the mill election in a mid-sized city. For context, Blooming is 13th in population in Illinois and 5th outside of the Chicago metro. The election received coverage in the Bloomington-Normal media market (as expected) and owing to both political nerdiness and the presence of a former longtime state legislator in the race (Dan Brady), coverage from Illinois-centric politics publications most of which would be seen as blogs. As such, I do not see this election passing a test of historic significance and the appropriate course of action is to delete the article. Please see AfD: 2025 Alton mayoral election, and AfD: 2025 Aurora mayoral election as precedents and other thoughts. Mpen320 (talk) 19:18, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Faris Ramli#Early life and education. Disputed redirect. Fuad Ramli does not have independent notability as there is only one piece that can be called significant and independent coverage.

Despite having 72 sources, this article still fails WP:GNG. Most of them are either praises/critiques from communist parties and groups (which are not reliable and independent sources) and minor mentions of this organization by russian state-controlled medias (which, again, are not reliable and independent sources). I tried to find more sources about this organization but unfortunately there is nothing exepct more unreliable communist groups. WhoIsCentreLeft (talk) 17:58, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • TASS and RIA Novosti, while deemed biased and unreliable for statements regarding the RUSUKR conflict, were not deprecated in all cases
  • bankingnews.gr, I cannot find it on WP:RSN, but that doesn't mean it's automatically unreliable or not RS
  • Daily Worker is also not deprecated
And so on.
I don't deny that there aren't problems with the article, but if you think that all of its ~79 citations are unreliable, or inadmissible for one reason or another, then you have to make a case for it. TurboSuperA+(connect) 06:59, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What a strange interpretation of the nomination. Could you please explain it? Zanahary 18:33, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as mentioned above, communist publications are not always unreliable. It is very expected that the communist international is covered primarily by communist sources, especially because the communist ideology is on the fringe of the political spectrum. Compare sources to International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties, a clearly notable organization that includes the communist parties of Greece and China, is also covered mostly by communist sources.

No indication of notability with the only sources being WP:PRIMARY listings of his books. Doing a WP:BEFORE, I could only find more self-published content and this press release, nothing counting for GNG.

The promotional nature of the article makes this borderline G11 (especially since it is an autobiography), but deletion is not cleanup and it might not be blatant enough to justify speedy deletion. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 17:55, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Obvious COI editor created the article about themselves, Jeromeenriquez matches the page title almost exactly (missing a space between the "ee" and also missing "john". All sources are self published or primary sources (the main source is a press release by the subject). Promotional language is quite clear throughout the article. Sources are from only two websites (goodreads.com and PRLog.org) PRLog.org is a distribution website for press releases.

There are links to the books and biography on Amazon as well. Does that count as the source? Jeromeenriquez (talk) 21:47, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, Amazon product pages are not independent sources about the creator of the product. jlwoodwa (talk) 23:45, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeromeenriquez like @Jlwoodwa said Amazon pages are not considered reliable sources per Wikipedia policy. What you need is a in-depth review in a newspaper/website about the books or the author (author would count more since they usually throw in a quick review of their books as well.) (good reads is ok for a couple of things like showing who the author is and other basic facts about that book, it can also is used to cite books. (Sometimes they have a online version of a book, so we cite the book using the good reads web address. In that case the book is the RS, good reads is just the middle man to us. Same thing applies to the Internet Archive.) If you cite a newspaper it would be best if it is at least national, if not international. Also we can use reliable sources that are in Portuguese. (Personally I prefer English sources, but I only know English). Sheriff U3 04:20, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. All of the books appear to be self-published on Amazon and are less than 100 pages long (one of them being just 13 pages long!), which tend to be pretty big red flags in my experience. I wasn't able to find any RS reviews for any of the books either, and I don't see any evidence that the subject has created a significant or well-known work or collective body of work.

Footballer that fails WP:GNG, no sources beyond profiles and stats from databases. WhoIsCentreLeft (talk) 17:23, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep This guy played for fair sized clubs including Lech Poznań and a lot of football at that, he played at the top of his game and played European games. Playing football is not a NOTSTATS issue. I don't know how much media coverage he had in the countries he played for at the time, but I am betting on newspapers here. WP:OFFLINESOURCES. Yes there doesn't seem to be coverage issue, but the internet at this time, is not at the same level on the region, it was still being built up in Serbia at that time. It doesn't help the fact he played during a time of strong geo-political issues in the region. So that might negate searches. I am going to assume good faith here for my weak keep.

No evidence that this promotional biography of an Indian businessman passes WP:GNG/WP:NBIO. Appears to be a WP:ROTM corporate executive and charitable giver.

Keep: I believe this article is well supported by its Reception section and through it passes WP:GNG, which is something previously deleted Pokémon species articles did not do. Additionally as mentioned by Pokelego above, "the entire first and second paragraphs" do not need to be cited as this would fall under MOS:LEAD, ergo it should not be used as a reason to delete this.

  • Delete The deletion rationale was poor, but in my opinion this article fails WP:GNG. It suffers from significant WP:REFBOMBing, but lacks WP:SIGCOV besides the source from the Journal of Geek Studies. While this particular source is impressive, it is too little to base an article on, and the rest are trivial mentions that just touch on how topical the concept of the Pokemon is and for the most part say the same thing. I wouldn't have created this article if I only found these sources, as they don't demonstrate some tangible analysis. This is easy to explain, since the majority of Pokemon don't feature as characters in their own right. There could be another angle, such as their gameplay, but simple commentary on their design is superficial and happens with the majority of newly-introduced Poke's somewhere. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 09:17, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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

The event described—the Chola "invasion" of Anjuvannam—appears to be fictitious. It lacks reliable scholarly sources. Some of the cited sources fail verification, as they do not support the statements made. There is also a possible misrepresentation of sources. Anjuvannam was a south Indian merchant guild, not a political entity, making the described "invasion" historically implausible.

The article's creator seems to have been confused by reading the books and some of the events described in them, such as the granting of the Jewish copper plates c. 1000 AD [and the 72 privileges conferred by the ruler of Cranganore]. It also appears that the creator confused these events with the 11th-century Chola attacks on Kerala, which he/she strangely dated to 1165 AD.

The cited source mentioning this "invasion" is a quote from a layperson interview (Elias Josephai), with no corroboration in academic or peer-reviewed literature. JamesMdp (talk) 13:52, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I say merge to List of Supernatural and The Winchesters Characters, but that page is so bloated and needs trimming as well (much of the information seems lifted from the Supernatural fandom).

There is no conflict such as the "Ahluwalia–Ramgarhia War", sources do not support it and provide no significant coverage to a conflict under this name.

  • Delete - The coverage in the sources is not enough and none of the sources support this neologism made up by the author "Ahluwalia - Ramgarhia war" , in fact sources do not even support that this was a war, sources at best refer to it as skirmishes and do not provide significant coverage to them. Anyway given the author's history of making copyvio, I doubt this article is free of it. The relevant details (not closely paraphrased) can be covered at the articles of relevant personalities.

The company does not meet the notability criteria per WP:CORP due to a lack of significant coverage as required by WP:SIGCOV.

Agree with Oaktree b that Forbes is good and independent, and Economic Times has its heart in the right place. Mint is borderline puff piece, not just a press release but not very independent either, but the first three are sufficient to meet WP:NORG Oblivy (talk) 12:28, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The Forbes India article listed above relies pretty heavily on comments from company founders and is part of a list of interviews/commentaries for "tycoons of tomorrow". It is not offering much in the way of significant secondary coverage. Interviews with CEOs are considered primary under WP:NORG so the article from Mint cannot be considered for notability. The article from Reuters appears to be independent + secondary, but it largely reads as routine coverage of the company's valuation after receiving venture capital funding. With the practice of opaque paid-for coverage in India, including Times group properties, I am also concerned whether the article from The Economic Times can be considered reliable as portions read like puffery. It also includes many comments from the company's leaders, though not as many as the Forbes piece. I stand by my earlier assessment that there is a lack of notable coverage in reliable sources and believe this article should be deleted unless additional significant coverage from well-established reliable sources can be found.Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 21:02, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An WP:INDISCRIMINATE list. Doctor Who is an iconic series, and nearly every iconic series has been parodied at some point; there is no coverage indicating that parodies of Doctor Who specifically are notable. The overall topic has no coverage: All GNews hits are from unreliable sources or trivial mentions, while Books and Scholar have nothing covering parodies in particular. There's absolutely nothing indicating the notability of this subject, and none of the spoofs individually appear to be notable either given the lack of strong sourcing for all of them.

Hello, I’m still working on this. Apologies if I published this too early, I’m still learning. Please can it be kept, I’ll have references and tidy it within the next few hours. Is there a way to unpublish it but not delete it? Kwinky (talk) 08:07, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Here’s a tip: create a draft page for the article(s) you’re working on. That way you can edit without the risk of deletion. You’ll be able to get sources, constantly check them to make sure they’re reliable sources (hint: sources leading to sites like Fandom aren’t reliable). Once you feel the page is ready you can submit it and wait for an admin to look over it. If the admin thinks that the page is good, it’ll be published. If the admin thinks it’s not good, the submission will be rejected. Dipper Dalmatian (talk) 08:59, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I appreciate your help. I did edit some articles years ago and thought I would remember but I'm a bit rusty.

Having no sources, lacking categories and looking untidy are not valid reasons for deletion, especially since none of these are true of the article anymore. I don't see any reason why this needed to be nominated for deletion just 15 minutes after it was created when it was clearly still being worked on.
In terms of notability, I don't often participate in music-related AfDs and don't have a strong view about notability in this case.

Article about a hockey player, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for hockey players. The leagues he played in, the American Hockey League and the ECHL, are specifically listed in WP:NHOCKEY as conferring notability only if the player "Achieved preeminent honors (all-time top-10 career scorer, first-team all-star)" -- but there's no claim being made here that he ever achieved any such thing in either league, and he hasn't been shown to pass WP:GNG either as the article is referenced entirely to content self-published by the teams he has played or worked for rather than any evidence of independent coverage in third-party media sources.
The article has, additionally, spent 18 full months with WP:BLP-violating nonsense like "He is currently an ambulance driver in Alberta. He once smiled, but really didn't like it. Chris also had the pleasure of providing the Rebels staff with water in their mouths." in it until I found and poleaxed it just now, which isn't a deletion rationale in and of itself but does speak to how many responsible editors have actually seen the article.

      • No, actually. As I've been told elsewhere recently, DUE only governs viewpoints rather than content, so there cannot possibly be a DUE violation if no RS has any viewpoints, because there's nothing to privilege there. Yeah, not sure I believe that, but even so: requiring the RS to be in one section for a fictional topic isn't supported by any policy or guideline to the best of my knowledge, even though it is certainly a best practice to include RS'ed reception when available. Jclemens (talk) 22:48, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
        • The very first sentence of WP:NPOV says All encyclopedic content on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV), which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic. In other words, the viewpoints must come from WP:Reliable sources. I'm not sure quite what you are trying to say with DUE only governs viewpoints rather than content, so there cannot possibly be a DUE violation if no RS has any viewpoints, because there's nothing to privilege there, but my point was that if we're talking about the subjective parts of the reception, i.e. opinions/viewpoints, we need to use WP:Reliable sources. It would be rather nonsensical to say that the text of WP:DUENeutrality requires that mainspace articles and pages fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by reliable sources, in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in those sources.—somehow implies that we would defer to sources that are not reliable for their viewpoints if there are no reliable sources to use. Indeed, WP:DUE goes on to say Keep in mind that, in determining proper weight, we consider a viewpoint's prevalence in reliable sources, not its prevalence among Wikipedia editors or the general public. More importantly, DUE only governs viewpoints rather than content is technically correct but a bit misleading/WP:WikiLawyer-ish. Firstly, the content equivalent—WP:PROPORTION, which says that articles are supposed to treat each aspect with a weight proportional to its treatment in the body of reliable, published material on the subject—is just slightly further down from the WP:DUE section of WP:NPOV, and "due" is often used as shorthand for this as well (though it could be argued to strictly speaking be wrong to use "due" in this sense). Secondly, that X is worth mentioning, or indeed that Y is not worth mentioning, is a viewpoint. TompaDompa (talk) 05:02, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to List of Greyhawk deities where this has an entry that is just a link to this page, but where other deities have a paragraph each. Not clear why this one gets special treatment. Claims that this has sourcing are quite debatable. Jclemens says some refs give acceptable SPS coverage of the topic. But WP:SPS sources do not contribute to the notability of the topic, and this is nearly everything (or else the sources are primary). Dragon magazine has an article about four deities, but Dragon is an official magazine for the D&D RP games and is thus not an independent source for notability.

  • Delete per TNT, or redirect to an article worth reading. I have an open mind on whether we need an article on the topic at the moment, because my Google search produced mostly copies of this article[[16]], material about enzymes that failed to mention enzyme modulators[[17]], or mentioned them as a fuzzy after-thought, and very few genuinely useful articles (such as this [[18]]). There are also articles that talk about modulators of enzymes as possible pharmaceuticals, but it's not clear to me whether they support the idea of "enzyme modulators" as a specific term, or whether this is just natural language (see [[19]] where many of these are titles referring to enzyme modulators but they're just trying to say that a class of pharmaceutical modulates the activity of a particular target enzyme; it's like jam-jar labels, they label jam jars, we talk about jam jar labels but there's nothing special about them beyond being labels that happen to have been stuck on a jam jar. But the fact remains that this article is three sentences. The first is a dictionary definition. The second is only partially correct. The third is a quote taken out of context and entirely incomprehensible (and irrelevant). There's nothing here worth salvaging. Our readers would be much better served by something like being redirected to Allosteric modulator or something similar. Elemimele (talk) 11:46, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The term is just a broad label encompassing enzyme activator, enzyme inhibitor, and allosteric regulator. A large number of Google Scholar hits for such a general term isn't surprising; you'd probably get a lot of hits for "high-speed synthesis"; that doesn't mean the dozens of uses of that term would be a single cohesive topic. I could accept a redirect to enzyme regulation if people feel strongly against deletion, but I don't think there's anything here to save. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 11:54, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly unnecessary article with all enhancements being sufficiently discussed in the games' respective articles. This is equivalent to "List of PlayStation 4 games ported to the PlayStation 5" with no encyclopedic value of note, while being increasingly cumbersome to manage as more games get their "Nintendo Switch 2 Editions", essentially a designation of ports to the new system.

  • Comment - this nomination is contains multiple fundamental incorrect statements. These are not ports. Switch 2 is backwards compatible with Switch 1, so there's no need for "ports". What the list documents are game with enhancements or new content. Still evaluating if there encyclopedic value here (I think there is) but half this nomination is factually incorrectand invalid WP:OTHERSTUFF arguments.

    I mainly found the list itself having insufficient encyclopedic value. I believe the explanation about the Edition games in the heading of the list article fitting better in a subsection in Nintendo Switch 2#Library alongside notable examples with notable enhancements, like the Zelda duology, instead of documenting all major and minor games whose criteria is just being a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition game. At the same time most of the enhancements' documentation on third-party games in the article are empty at the moment, and they are expected to contain not more than "Added mouse controls, runs at higher resolution and frame rate" instead of Nintendo's dedicated feature. There just isn't a lot of useful information to be documented to warrant a whole list on this topic. MimirIsSmart (talk) 12:27, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand that, I just wanted to make it clear that there multiple factual inaccuracies in your nomination - they are not just "ports", nor are they just like documenting "PS4 on PS5 games". We can have differing interpretations on notability, but like half your nomination is objectively incorrect. I did not want other participants to latch on to your blatant misinformation. You should want to WP:STRIKE the misinformation and WP:ATAs. Sergecross73 msg me 13:19, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - worst case scenario, this should redirect to the List of Nintendo Switch 2 games as an WP:ATD. Its a plausible search term, and since "Nintendo Switch 2 edition" is in many of the game's titles, it would be something that could be seen indirectly there.

Changed to weak keep per refs 3 and 4 below, which add just enough SIGCOV to be considered GNG-passable. I do maintain that redirecting is a viable ATD if there is consensus not to keep. Frank Anchor 15:59, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, I just expanded the article with several new references that include SIGCOV. It's sad but true that most African countries do not publish durable news and analysis from even ten years ago – the SIGCOV articles in this case were only from 2015 but are still only accessible via webarchive which is not searchable, and they wouldn't show up in any Google search. There are surely more, but I'm not aware of any way to access them unless archive.org creates a webarchive search in the next few years. --Habst (talk) 14:12, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Konstantin Čomu (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Does not seem notable. The article has four sources, none offering much info. The first states An increasing number of projectors were owned and operated by such individuals as Milan Golubovski from Skopje and Konstantin Comu from Bitola. (archive link, it's not in the article), with the third stating basically the same ([24]). The second states The brothers Tasho and Kosta Chomu showed film as early as 1909. The fourth states Como brothers give the first performances in Manastir. and includes the photo used in this article.

This person only has an article in one other Wikipedia, Bulgarian Wikipedia, which is home to dozens if not hundreds of biographies of individuals from the region that are not notable (I can elaborate more on this stance if necessary). It only includes one extra reference [25], where he's simply listed at page 14 as "Ciomu Constantin" in a list of graduates of the Romanian High School of Bitola, having later become a merchant according to the source. But it might not even be this person as in this 1906 source "Ciomu Constantin" is marked as a dead person [26] (p. 195). It might be this latter Ciomu that was a student in 1888-1889 according to this source [27] (p. 60). There also was a Constantin Ciomu as a member of the Aromanian community in Constanța [28]. Also there's apparently a scholar called Konstantin Chomu at the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje [29].

Looking in languages that use the Latin alphabet I've managed to find these other sources [30] [31] [32] [33]. What they say is Čomu, among others, helped the notable Manaki brothers open a cinema in Bitola, today North Macedonia's second largest city, that he and his brother Tashko ran from 1909 to 1915 a cinema there which hosted foreign movies and was attended by politicians and diplomats and that they opened another in 1919 that had already closed by 1921. I could find no sources in Google Scholar, Google Books or Scribd using Latin alphabet spellings.

Looking up Константин Чому, most results in Google aren't related to this cinematographer, in fact most are in Ukrainian. Коста Чому yields more results. According to this source [34] he opened Bitola's first cinema with Naum Gogu. In some sources the same is highlighted: he was a collaborator with the Manakis and opened cinemas in Bitola [35]. This is the single source with the most mentions of him I could find in any language, but it only adds that his collaboration with the Manakis ended in financial loss for him [36]. I managed to find some other sources like this one [37], which add nothing else.

This is everything I could find. What we know is he, maybe, attended a notable high school, was a partner of the Manaki brothers and opened several cinemas, including the first, in North Macedonia's second largest city. He did not collaborate with any other individual with an article in English Wikipedia (and most likely in the rest too). Sources don't seem to elaborate much on these initial cinemas in Bitola and they don't seem notable. The level of detail I've included here is about the same as the ones sources give. In fact I don't know where did the birth and death dates come from. So, he does not seem like a notable person per Wikipedia standards. Just a figure in initial Macedonian cinematography.

I would be thankful if I could count in another AfD with the help of Jingiby and StephenMacky1. You don't have to read the text wall above, I'd just be thankful if you could tell if there's much material available on this person after a quick search in your native languages, which if anything would be the most likely ones to host sources for him. By the way, please tell me if I annoy you with pings of this type and feel free to ignore this altogether if you feel like it. Super Ψ Dro 01:18, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
