Comment I added some sources and info to the article. Some info has been removed by the AfD nominator with the summary "this is false information" with no explanation of why it's false. Please have the courtesy to explain, not just make assertions. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:09, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
See here.

I should've explained the entire organization and associated articles are fishy. There isn't a single mention of the organization before 2024. Its website is full of AI articles and the first post is from 2024. There is no indication that the organization existed before 2024 and all sources that mention it are unreliable blogs.

Here's one weird example [4]. "Portal S4" was created on June 21, 2009 [5] and there's a news article supposedly from May 9, 2009, talking about the organization [6]. I don't know what's happening off-wiki regarding the organization but it is at very least strange. Skyshiftertalk 15:02, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

1873 NYU Violets football team

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

I hereby nominate all NYU Violets football season articles, for merger into larger chunks of, say, 20 year periods, merger into the main article of the college team, or outright deletion.

All articles within this class are permastubs, which the Notability guideline advises to avoid unless there are valid reasons to keep. It is unlikely for now that anyone will make a concerted effort to dig up material about 150-year-old college football seasons, so I believe that articles without a realistic and likely scenario of quitting a permastub state should be merged into something larger, or outright deleted.

For articles after 1920, the articles unambiguously fail WP:NSEASONS because since then a higher league was operating in the United States, and the sports SNG does not presume notability for seasons of top-tier collegiate teams, though it does so for competitions. You can argue that before 1920, collegiate football was the highest-tier football league in the United States, which would theoretically allow individual seasons of top-tier teams, but then again the guideline speaks of individual top-tier professional teams, which varsity teams are definitely not.

Several season articles have notability tags hanging for over a year and nobody seems to care; other articles are of the following template:

The [year] NYU Violets football team was an American football team (stop, what? were they actually called "[year] NYU Violets?") that represented New York University as an independent during the [year] college football season. In their [cardinal_number] year under head coach [coach_name], the team compiled a [win-loss-tie] record. Optionally: a random and rather trivial fact about the team during that season

Table of scores, which are the only sources or almost all of the article sources.

While I can't pinpoint to a specific position of WP:NOT that the template violates, this appears like something that a sports database would have, and if the only thing you can do to write up an article is come up with a database sourced only to primary sources (which reports on football matches that just happened very certainly are), chances are the article is pretty bad; in particular there is a requirement for articles to be based on secondary sources, which in this case at best are scores databases and at worst secondary sources are non-existent; so, yeah, not good.

Jewish fascism

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

I will repeat the reason for the PROD by user Iamnotanorange~enwiki: "There is no political movement known as Jewish Fascism, which means this article is synthesizing new information by making an analogy between Italian Fascism and rightwing Jewish political movements, all of which have their own pages and do not need to be grouped together into this page. Without a coherent, non-synthesized topic for this article, this article is an Indiscriminate collection of political movements. See Talk page for more info and discussion."

I might add that I proposed to rename the article to "Political spectre in Judaism", but now I realize that wouldn't work. First, the article would have to be fully rewritten anyway, so WP:TNT should be used all the same. And second, we already have Politics of Israel for the full picture, and Far-right politics in Israel for the topic of this article. Cambalachero (talk) 17:27, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mason & Associates

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

Mason & Associates appears to fail GNG, based on the following reasons:

Unable to find any news regarding this ad agency in Australia
Of the four citations:
1. Dot Net Magazine reference is broken as essential information is omitted. Attempts to find this information have not been successful in establishing possible SIGCOV. But at most that might be the only (non-verifiable) coverage.
2. Web Design Index book, is a trivial mention in a generally unrespected catalog of websites. Sufficient to establish that Astron was a client, but not notability (ie NINI & SIGCOV).
3. 2x at American Design Awards 2007 & 2009 are non-notable, (cf List of design awards) and no credible reference has been found to establish this award as noteworthy. The website link & domain is dead.
  - Looking at the annual awards via Archive.org, unable to find either Mason or Toshiedo listed as a semi-annual winner 2007 winter, 2007 summer, 2009 winter, 2009 summer
  - The only alternative is they might have been one of their "monthly winners" which seems to be insufficient to establish any true notability.

But beyond this, there is a mess:

The official website link is for a different company, a business development company called "Mason Associates Group" not "Mason & Associates". On page link was replaced with an archive.org version of how it appeared previously under this company.
Due to the domain name change, and that social media accounts are also dead [7] and [8], it appears this company no longer exists.
James Mason (founder) seems to be all over the place with his company name over the years, including the in-article mentioned Toshiedo which was moved into this article title, but more recently starting a new firm DRAFT:IAMJAMES which is simply a copy-paste of this article after having a move request rejected for WP:NAMECHANGE. That draft was declined due to WP:RS issues.
Looking at the founder's LinkedIn profile suggests this is simply a side gig, as opposed to an actual notable business.

Aldona Skirgiełło

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

Subject is a politician who was never elected to any notable office thus failing WP:NPOL. GNG is not satisfied either as there are insufficient sources to satisfy it. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:58, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Politicians, Women, and Poland. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:58, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - the subject is not just a politician, but also a celebrity. She played a star role in documentary series and that produces coverage for her even before the 2025 presidential election. Some examples of articles centered around her before 2025 - (1), (2), (3), (4). To translate a fragment of the 4th article:
Aldona Skirgiełło is becoming increasingly well-known in Poland. She has gathered a large group of fans thanks to the programme ‘Żony Podlasia’ (Wives of Podlasie). The woman has extensive professional experience and a university degree. She currently lives in the countryside, but at one point studied at the University of Cambridge, where she majored in hippology. She also lived in Warsaw for many years, where she worked organising horse races at Służewiec. She was a horse rider and photographer.
Now she is fulfilling herself in the world of show business and is also an influencer. She shows her life in the countryside, and soon her book will hit the shelves. Unfortunately, she also faces online hate. Recently, someone commented on her smile, criticising her crooked teeth. However, the celebrity was not bothered by this. She posted a video on TikTok in which she showed her teeth and emphasised that this kind of smile can turn men on and therefore she has no complexes about it.

The subject also released her biography, and coverage on this claims: Meeting with Aldona Anna Skirgiełło, organised on the occasion of the premiere of her debut book ‘Aldona z Podlasia’. The event attracted a large audience not only from Siemiatycze, but also from Warsaw, Radom, Kutno and even from the vicinity of Toruń, which proves the broad interest in the author's work and personality. This biography has also gathered enough attention to receive reviews.

Now a bit on her coverage as a politician - this article states: She is Aldona Anna Skirgiełło, known as ‘Aldona from Podlasie’, the heroine of a popular TV series, supported by the Samoobrona party.

Or this one: The protagonist of the TV series ‘Wives of Podlasie’ will run in the presidential elections. Aldona Skirgiełło announced her decision at the national congress of the Samoobrona party, of which she has been a member for years. The series ‘Żony Podlasia’ has been broadcast on TTV since March 2024. It tells the story of the everyday lives of women living in the Podlasie region. And one of the most recognisable characters in the series is Aldona Skirgiełło.

Interia, one of the major news websites in Poland, also has a page dedicated to her which summarizes her life, which can be found here.

There is significant coverage and numerous claims of popularity/recognizability. The article should be kept and expanded upon (I can try to do the latter, since I know Polish anyway). Brat Forelli🦊 15:24, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have much more to add than Brat Forelli above, I mostly wrote this to detail her political career (as she is also the first presidential candidate of a former major political party), but she is also the star of a somewhat well-known television series, which could perhaps be ellaborated on.

37th parallel north

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

The only claims for notability (paranormal activity) are completely unsourced. A quick search brought up a book called "Earth Frequency Sacred Sites, Vortexes, Earth Chakras, and Other Transformational Places" by an author that describes herself as "a professional intuitive coach, frequency specialist, energy worker, spiritual advisor, medium, and animal communicator" (not someone who I'd consider a reliable source) and the name "Paranormal Highway" only leads to a very poorly reviewed film.

The only other claim to fame is as the borders of some US states, however that doesn't mean it requires its own wiki page

Unless someone can find a good book or article written on it that I missed, I think deletion is a reasonable response. Speederzzz (Talk) (Stalk) 12:23, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Given that we have almost every single other parallel right up to the Arctic Ocean, isn't the reasonable response to take the badly sourced rubbish out and leave an article that looks like 38th parallel north? Uncle G (talk) 12:52, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That might be a good point, actually. I am unsure about the notability for articles on such lines. For example I don't really see a reason for 39th parallel north to have it's own page either, but almost every village in Iran has a page IIRC, so maybe geographical topics like this have their own rules for inherent notability.

Speederzzz (Talk) (Stalk) 13:51, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
After quickly checking it seems that WP:NGEO does say that geographical features do actually have inherent notability. I always forget some things have their own notability criteria (schools was one that got me last time). I'll change the article so it looks like 39th parallel north. Then I'm okay with it staying. Edit: It seems that has already been done. Sorry for the AfD.

Speederzzz (Talk) (Stalk) 13:56, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep even though the nomination seems to have been withdrawn. As mentioned on the talk page, "The 37th Parallel: The Secret Truth Behind America's UFO Highway" by Ben Mezrich was published in 2016 by Random House and is very possibly the source of the UFO material recently added by Wiikikiki (diff). This was unreferenced but may have been sourced from the book. This was then removed on account of not being referenced but before any {{cn}} warning. There was also some very "bold" editing which added and removed great chunks. I haven't followed up on this. The book has Google and Amazon previews so additional well-referenced material can be relatively easily added. It would anyway be foolish to delete the article which is part of a set but our deletion procedures do not preclude foolishness. Thincat (talk) 14:25, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They are not user-generated. There is a very limited number of people who have access to a club's Instagram profile. However, they are primary sources and do not contribute to notability. Furthermore, some "transfer sources" are in-depth and some (many) are not, no blanket statement can be made about transfer news - e.g. some sources use the transfer news opportunity to go into detail about the player's career, abilities, personality etc. At this point, anyway, the AFD can be closed in 20 hours after the normal elapsed time.

Antorborti

This unreleased film (apparently filmed in 2022) fails WP:NFILM, which specifies that Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles. This movie's coverage is limited to tabloid-style mentions in unbylined articles that trigger the concerns of WP:NEWSORGINDIA. Thus, the articles that reference to the film's production are not reliable sources. Until such time as the the production is confirmed by reliable sources or the film is released and given full-length reviews by multiple reliable sources, there is no pass of WP:NFILM or WP:GNG.

Draftify.: And wait for release. Not sure all the coverage is really "not reliable", btw. For example, please note that established tabloids can be used per WP:TABLOID. What makes you say, for example, that, Bangladesh Pratidin cannot be used for verification of uncontroversial facts? even not bylined articles.

MY, I fundamentally disagree that the Akolito Bangladesh story (authored by "Entertainment Reporter") and the Follow-UpNews story (with no byline at all) constitute the kind of WP:SIGCOV necessary to make the production itself notable. They cannot be considered reliable. WP:NEWSORGINDIA applies to all South Asian entertainment coverage, in which unbylined coverage has a reasonably high likelihood of being paid/sponsored placement and thus cannot be relied upon per the WP:RSP guideline of Exercise caution in using such sources for factual claims or to establish notability. Look at the tone and language of the article, its placement in the publication, use of generic bylines not identifying an individual reporter or reviewer, overlap in language with articles found in other publications and on other websites, and others. And for a film to remain unreleased nearly three years after shooting suggests this film may never see the light of day, making a "draftify" outcome less useful. (And given the potential COI and promotional nature of the page creator's edits, I suspect this would result in a quick return to mainspace and we'd be right back here again.)

@Dclemens1971"the Akolito Bangladesh story (authored by "Entertainment Reporter") and the Follow-UpNews story (with no byline at all) constitute the kind of WP:SIGCOVnecessary to make the production itself notable.": but that's not at all what I said! I said to use them to verify and source the role in case it is redirected and merged.

As for NEWSORGINDIA, again, I understood why you wish to use it, but doing so has been said to hurt the feelings of certain non-Indian South Asian users (and probably of some Indian users too, or even third-party users). To extend it to all South Asian entertainment might also be seen as expressing a Wikipedia:Systemic bias.

Thank you, Aaron Liu, for your thoughtful assessment. I appreciate your detailed breakdown of the sources. Based on previous feedback, I have worked on improving the article by adding more independent and reliable sources and ensuring a neutral tone to address concerns about notability.

I have now included sources such as Inside Sports India, FirstPostz, Sportskeeda, Hindustan Times, an official X post by the Government, and an official post by the PUBG Mobile YouTube channel.

2025 Sheffield school stabbing

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

Firstly, I'd like to point out that this is my first time nominating an article for deletion, so there might be something I've done wrong. Feel free to point it out if so. With regards to the deletion discussion itself, this article seems like a WP:NOTNEWS violation. While the death of anyone is obviously tragic, stabbings are unfortunately a frequent occurrence in the UK, and the fact that one occurred does not mean it should automatically receive an article - things like these are regularly brought to AfD. I don't think there's anything here that suggests it goes above and beyond the brief regular news cycle. The fact that a vigil march, some standard statements and opinions from politicians, flowers being laid and the school creating a memorial for the student happened, doesn't seem to constitute WP:LASTING coverage. The article is tied together with a couple of contemporary news reports, and the coverage of the incident has already mostly gone away after a week and a half. The policies WP:EVENTCRIT, particularly number 4, and WP:NCRIME are also pertinent here. As we know, Wikipedia is based primarily on consensus, so I've brought the article to AfD to have the community determine if the stabbing is notable or not.

Delete because WP:NOTNEWS.

Nargiz Absalamova

Fails WP:N and WP:1E. The person has not been the subject of any reliable source on her own and has not got significiant coverage in any reliable source. She herself has not been of interest to any reliable source individually. The person only has name mentions or notes about some facts related to her arrest in the sources. There is no other information available to use in the writing of a balanced biography. As you can see from the article, most of the content is facts about the arrest. Participating in an event or being one of the individuals affected by it does not make a person notable. She is simply one of the individuals listed in the context of the case. Sura Shukurlu (talk) 08:37, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly disagree with the assertion that Nargiz Absalamova fails Wikipedia’s notability criteria (WP:N, WP:1E). The argument that she has only been briefly mentioned in sources without significant independent coverage is misleading and inaccurate. Multiple reputable, independent sources, including international human rights organizations and well-established media outlets, have reported on Nargiz Absalamova. Her case has been documented as part of a larger crackdown on Azerbaijani civil society, demonstrating that she is not just an incidental figure but a recognized political prisoner. The idea that she is “simply one of the individuals listed in a case” ignores the fact that many notable political prisoners worldwide have been recognized in similar circumstances.

WP:1E does not apply to cases of political repression that are part of an ongoing human rights crisis. There are multiple precedents on Wikipedia where political prisoners and persecuted activists—arrested in crackdowns—have notability established through human rights reports and international coverage. If Wikipedia hosts similar biographies of other Azerbaijani political prisoners, removing this one would be inconsistent and unfair.

I also want to highlight concerning patterns in the behavior of the editor opposing this article, which may indicate a conflict of interest (COI) or agenda-driven editing. There have been frequent removals or attempts to undermine content related to Azerbaijani political prisoners, edits that systematically favor the Azerbaijani government’s narrative while dismissing reliable independent sources, and targeted efforts to delete information about human rights abuses in Azerbaijan. Wikipedia’s mission is to ensure neutrality and reliable documentation—it should not be used to erase politically inconvenient subjects at the request of authoritarian regimes.

I encourage all editors to review the reliable sources available before making broad claims about notability. If necessary, I will request an administrator review this editor’s activity for potential bias or government-aligned influence. I am also open to further expanding the article with additional sources to ensure it meets Wikipedia’s standards. It is crucial that Wikipedia remains a platform for factual, independent knowledge and does not become a tool for state propaganda or information suppression. I welcome further discussion, but I urge all editors to act in good faith and according to Wikipedia’s core principles. Kromvell 1968 (talk) 11:48, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Women, Journalism, and Azerbaijan. Shellwood (talk) 13:46, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I also disagree with the deletion. Nargiz Absalamova is a notable Azerbaijani journalist whose work and subsequent persecution have received significant international attention, meeting Wikipedia’s notability criteria.

Professional Contributions: As a journalist with Abzas Media, one of Azerbaijan’s few independent outlets, Absalamova has played a key role in reporting on critical issues such as environmental protests and corruption. Her investigative work has provided essential insights into topics often underreported in the region.

International Recognition and Coverage: Absalamova's arrest in December 2023, widely regarded as politically motivated, has been condemned by major international organizations. Amnesty International has highlighted her detention as part of a broader crackdown on dissent in Azerbaijan, and the Committee to Protect Journalists has reported on her case, emphasizing the silencing of independent media voices. Such coverage demonstrates her impact and the broader significance of her work.

Alignment with Wikipedia’s Notability Criteria: According to Wikipedia's guidelines on notability, a topic merits an article if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Absalamova's work and the international response to her arrest have been documented by reputable organizations and news outlets, affirming her notability. WP:GNG

Furthermore, Wikipedia's notability criteria for journalists state that individuals who are main personalities at notable news sources or have received significant coverage for their work meet the standards for inclusion. Absalamova's role at Abzas Media and the international attention her situation has attracted clearly satisfy these criteria.

Recently, I have observed multiple deletion nominations targeting independent Azerbaijani journalists who have been arrested. This raises concerns about potential politically motivated attempts to remove their presence from public discourse. Wikipedia's mission is to document notable individuals and events objectively, and erasing articles on persecuted journalists undermines that goal. Maintaining Absalamova’s article ensures that Wikipedia remains a comprehensive and balanced resource. Aspectreishauntingeurope (talk) 15:16, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Are you claiming a conflict of interest (COI) here? – The Grid (talk) 18:25, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been nominated for deletion on the Azerbaijani Wikipedia, and I haven’t even participated in that discussion. In that discussion, Kromvell 1968 argued in favor of keeping the article, stating that if the person in question is not notable, then why was the article approved on the enwiki? Since this user attempted to manipulate the discussion with such an argument, and because I was genuinely interested in the enwiki community’s opinion on the article’s notability, I proposed its deletion here as well. I have clearly outlined, within the framework of the guidelines, why I believe the subject of the article is not notable. Kromvell 1968 insulted me in the comment he wrote in Azerbaijani above and has openly violated the rules. I am providing a translation of his comment below for you to read:

Trying to come here and delete an article just because the government says so is honestly pathetic—for your own sake. Maybe they’ve convinced you that you’re part of some kind of mystical information war just to make you feel important. But go read Nargiz’s bio again, take a look at what she achieved at an age close to yours, and then take a look at yourself. Courage is the only thing in the world that can’t be imitated.)))

His writing style in the comment and such admiration to the person indicate that the user has an interest in the article. Moreover, this user is making baseless accusations against me simply because I nominated the article for deletion, attempting to discredit me. It is clear that he is highly interested in keeping this article. Kromvell 1968 even attacked to the user who nominated the article for deletion on the azwiki. The contributions of both users involved in this discussion is entirely focused on this article, and in my personal opinion, they are either sockpuppets (the same person) or are closely connected, indicating a serious conflict of interest. This is why I am being attacked in this manner. This is just my opinion, but I think everything is clear. Sura Shukurlu (talk) 19:04, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In Azerbaijani Wikipedia, a user named "RəqəmsalTaleh" initiated discussions to delete articles about prominent political prisoners, systematically nominating multiple individuals for deletion. When I engaged in discussions with this user, I demonstrated—using Wikipedia’s own rules—that their arguments were factually incorrect and did not align with Wikipedia’s notability guidelines.

As a result, this user was blocked—not arbitrarily, but because they were found to have been paid to write articles on Wikipedia, violating Wikipedia’s conflict of interest (COI) policies. Despite the block, another user (who appears to be closely connected with "RəqəmsalTaleh") has now resumed this effort, nominating Nargiz Absalamova for deletion.

It is evident that this user has not conducted proper research on Absalamova’s case. Her reporting on the Soyudlu protests, as well as other critical topics, has been widely covered within Azerbaijan and internationally. Leading human rights organizations and international media outlets have recognized her work and condemned her politically motivated arrest. These sources clearly establish her notability as an independent journalist persecuted by an authoritarian government.

Given the Azerbaijani government's history of targeting Wikipedia editors and administrators who document human rights violations, I find it crucial to highlight the coordinated nature of these deletion attempts. The goal appears to be the systematic erasure of political prisoners and persecuted journalists from Wikipedia—a blatant attempt at information suppression.

I could provide extensive documentation on how similar smear campaigns have been orchestrated to manipulate public perception and suppress critical voices. Many of the sources this user considers "reliable" are themselves aligned with state-controlled narratives. However, I do not wish to engage in an extended dispute over this user’s motivations.

The objective fact remains:

Nargiz Absalamova is a widely recognized journalist in Azerbaijan.

She has received extensive international coverage from reputable sources.

She is currently jailed by the Azerbaijani government in retaliation for her reporting.

Attempts to delete this article are not based on Wikipedia’s rules but on political interests. Wikipedia should not be used as a tool for authoritarian censorship. Kromvell 1968 (talk) 20:20, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Viraj Bahl

The article does not meet WP:GNG as the sources mainly focus on the subject interviews and statements, without providing significant coverage. Majority of cited sources focus on Viraj Bahl company growth (revenue & product launches) rather than his personal notability as an individual. Refs (India.com, TimesNowNews, DNA India) lack depth or are promotional in tone. Coverage in outlets ( Inc42 and ET Retail ) primarily discuss Veeba as a company, not Viraj Bahl individual legacy or influence beyond his role as founder. While his role as a judge on Shark Tank India(2024) adds to his public profile, this is recent and may not yet be supported by independent sourcing to confirm lasting notability failing WP:NBLP and many of the sources here are exactly what WP:NEWSORGINDIA tells us to watchout for.

Of the two sources, one is a directory listing giving the head's name, phone number, and email in a list of 26 madrasas in the sub-district. The other is an encyclopedia article about madrasas in general (it doesn't mention this one). Searches in English and Bengali found no sources that would establish notability.

Comment This is not an easy one to search for - so many ads come up! I have searched for both "Mint chocolate" and "Chocolate Mint", and found a variety of sources and information. Whether it will add up to WP:SIGCOV I am not yet sure. The Tokyo Weekender has an article about how "chocmint" became popular in Japan [33]. (There seems to be a graphic novel series published in Japan called Mint Chocolate, too [34]) A choc-mint drink became a political symbol in Thailand [35] (but is this article just about individual or block mint-flavoured chocolate, or chocolate-coated mint, or does it extend to chocmint as a flavour?). Mashed has an article "Here's Where The Concept Of Mint Chocolate Came From" [36]. One well-known product missing from this WP article is the Girl Scout Cookies#Varieties Thin Mints - I found histories of them here [37] and here [38] (p 110). Chocolate mints on or under the pillow at hotels is described here [39] (not reliable, but gives info that could be searchable). Mathematician Jean Dieudonné promised a chocolate mint to whoever could explain why the social background in which Carl Friedrich Gauss lived led him to 17-sided regular polygons. [40]. Half of boxed chocolate mint sales are in the last 12 weeks of the year. [41] (and that source, Industrial Chocolate Manufacture and Use, has more info about mint chocolate that I can't see. The National Druggist had a recipe for "cocoa-mint" soda drink in 1897 [42] and Henley's Twentieth Century Book of Recipes, Formulas and Processes (1909) [43] also has one. Built on Chocolate: The Story of the Hershey Chocolate Company [44] has 6 results for "mint chocolate", which I can't see all of, but can see that there's info about Hershey's mint chocolate introduced in 1959 and discontinued in 1969 (which doesn't seem to be in the Hershey article, nor this article). I'll try to find other sources. (Btw, I do appreciate the nom's reference to "my assortment of chocolate books"! ) RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:57, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And the name doesn't appear on the map at all. The church is the only thing here, though the county history says it was predated by a convent a mile west of the church's location (which is gone now and which is another anonymous spot).

Baker says that this was a village named after the church. There's no Trinity in Jay in any of the gazetteers. As for the references in Jay County, Indiana#Further reading: The Lewis Biographical has the church mentioned ("situated two and a half miles from New Corydon, on section 17") but no village, and the same goes for the Jay History. Nothing in the shipping guides, or post office directories.
I found 1996 Borderline Indiana (ISBN 9780964237131), which looked promising. But it only discusses the church with a "rectory, school, shelter house and playground" on the church grounds. It uses the word "community" but says nothing except stuff about the church and its congregation.
I cannot confirm Baker's claim to a village with anything else. This appears to be a mis-labelling, done some time in the 1950s, for the church that we already have another article about. This article is worse than useless. It's downright misleading.

So you've not read it? But you've already decided that a publication from Jane's fails WP:RS?

further comment Besides not seeing how "they built an actual airship" makes it into something besides a film prop, there is also the problem that, as far as I can tell, it never actually had a name. It's difficult to search this because most web hits seem to depend on our article, but I can't find anything older that gives it a name, and in this interview with one of the guys who built it, he doesn't name it. I also am finding a complete lack of any history of the thing besides its construction and its use in the filming; one source claims it was blown into the trees and destroyed, though I don't know how reliable that account is. At any rate, it wasn't this advanced tour de force of British aviation; it was cobbled together for the film, was underpowered and not entirely controllable, and apparently didn't survive past the end of filming. I supposed one ought to be impressed that they made an actual aircraft rather than faking it with models and sets, but I'm not seeing how this cannot be covered in a reasonably short section of the film's article.

As well as the aforementioned animals in the histories and biographicals, there was a false positive for a pony truss bridge in Jay. An 1896 USPS directory confirms the post office.

The Bald Truth

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

Article about a radio program, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for radio programs. As always, radio programs are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on third-party reliable source coverage about them -- and while this asserts things about the show that could count as notability claims if they were sourced properly, it cites no sources at all besides the show's own self-published website about itself, and says nothing that would be "inherently" notable enough to exempt the show from having to pass GNG.

Doesn't pass WP:GNG as none of the posts they've held are notable for an article, with most notability appearing to be because she is married to a U.S. Representative, going against the principle of WP:NOTINHERITED. Most references do not provide WP:SIGCOV or are not independent of the subject. Epluribusunumyall (talk) 00:31, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning keep, due to her rather high profile as an activist. The subject gets quite a few newspapers.com hits. No objection to moving to draft for improvement to a clearly encyclopedic level of coverage. BD2412 T 01:13, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Josh Seiter

Not a notable media personality. Briefly participated in a reality show and performed two inconsequential publicity stunts covered by celebrity tabloids (EW, etc.). Looks like LGBT media outlets reported on him because one of the stunts involved pursuing a gender transition. Best, Bridget (talk) 00:18, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The subject does not meet Wikipedia’s General Notability Guidelines or Biographies of living persons standards. There is no significant coverage in reliable, independent sources to establish notability.

The article appears to be a self-authored biography, violating Wikipedia's autobiography and Conflict of Interest guidelines. The sources provided are not independent or substantial enough to demonstrate lasting significance.

Per Wikipedia’s policies on notability and verifiability, this article should be deleted unless significant coverage from independent, reliable sources is presented. — bshope (talk) 14:32, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO, lacks independent, significant sources. Likely self-promotional. Brandon (talk) 14:32, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
