A corner with no documentation besides GNIS and appearing in a list of places in a history of the county. Mangoe (talk) 00:53, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright -- the subject of this article fails WP:GNG, and notability for companies because of lack of WP:SIGCOV, and WP:SUSTAINED in WP:RS. There are lots of sources, but they are either WP:ROUTINE, very old announcements of the opening, or not independent. This article has serious NPOV issues to go along with that -- seems like advertising and promotion. This article doesn't belong on Wikipedia.

This is an article about a mountain lake in Norway -- fails notability guidelines, by virtue of being a random lake in Norway. There are 300,000 lakes in Norway. Besides that, most of the article fails WP:NOTPROMO, and WP:NOTGUIDE; it talks about the amenities of the lake, like hikes, grills, and a nearby campsite. Serious NPOV issues, doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Needless to say no WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS. AnonymousScholar49 (talk) 00:40, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This guy doesn't meet the notability requirements. Article is an orphan. He plays for a division four team in Sweden -- an amateur league -- Wikipedia doesn't cover amateur football per guidelines. Finally, one of the sources seems to be a blog, and the other two aren't reliable sources. Not WP:SUSTAINED, fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:RS, and has serious NPOV issues. Also not notable bc it's only of interest to local people. AnonymousScholar49 (talk) 00:35, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This looks like a hoax. Completely unsourced, and searches on gbooks, JSTOR, advanced google search, news, and more bring up literally nothing. AnonymousScholar49 (talk) 00:30, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NORG -- lacking WP:SUSTAINED notability backed up by WP:RS. Amigao (talk) 00:30, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright -- this article does have some reliable sources, including TheConversation. The issues here are this: this is an orphaned article, and this vehicle is a concept without WP:SIGCOV. See: it doesn't exist in its final form/ yet. As it doesn't really exist yet, WP:TOOSOON, also seems a bit like it violates WP:NOTPROMO. AnonymousScholar49 (talk) 00:28, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of problems: first, subject fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:SUSTAINED, and WP:RS. One of the sources is "Nerdist," an unreliable source. Even if it was reliable, it's a piece about a kickstarter. The other source is a defunct self published site, and the last source is a niche magazine. It's also a human interest story. On to the most important part; the creator of the page seems to be affiliated with the subject, with the username matching the title and a COI message on the talk page. Fails WP:NOTPROMO, WP:COI, and finally, nobody wants to hear about your garage band. AnonymousScholar49 (talk) 00:24, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article does not meet the general notability guideline, and does not meet the notability guidelines for companies. The claim to notability surrounds its involvement with human rights abuses, ending in deaths, in Indonesia. This breaks policy because just because the company was the subject of a (probably not) notable event, does not make it notable. No inherited notability. Next, This company does not have WP:SIGCOV that is WP:SUSTAINED, and the sources don't seem to be WP:RS, but I haven't done a deep dive. No other coverage besides this stuff, where it isn't the main story. This company isn't notable. More, the sources are also from 2011, pretty out of date.

NEW NOMINATIONS

Cities in fiction

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: merge, redundant category layer with only one subcategory each. Marcocapelle (talk) 17:31, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lean oppose. Do all of these categories reflect "culture in" those places? If I set a novel in Berlin, or Washington, D.C., but I don't live there, I'm not sure it would be "culture in" either of those places. The existing titles look better to me, since they don't say anything about where the fiction was written or whether it constitutes "culture". P Aculeius (talk) 12:59, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:State funerals in Vatican City

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: There is no difference with Category:Funerals in Vatican City. Normal funerals would take place in Italy, and none of the pope-related articles are treated as state funerals. (CC) Tbhotch™ 05:45, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Disney Channels Worldwide original programming

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Disney Channels Worldwide was renamed anyway so you could technically rename it to CategoryDisney Branded Television original programming, but this seems to be a suiting name. RanDom 404 (talk) 16:59, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hispanophobia and subcats

[edit]
Nominator's rationale The term "Hispanophobia" is vague and often refers to anti-Spanish sentiment specifically or perhaps to racism against all Hispanics/Spanish-speakers, but does not include all Latinos such as Brazilians or non-Spanish speaking Indigenous peoples of Latin America. It is both broader and more specific to say "anti-Hispanic and Latino American/Latino". A lot of the racism in the US is against Latinos anyway and not necessarily against Spaniards. For the main category I suggested "Hispanic and Latin American" rather than "Hispanic and Latino", because Latino is more of a US-centric word and isn't used as heavily in other places like Canada.

Category:Films about Brazilian military dictatorship

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: "Films about Brazilian military dictatorship" is not grammatically correct, and the similar category for Chile has "the" in the title.--JPHC2003 (talk) 01:15, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Category was not tagged; I will do so. If there are no further comments we will be all set for renaming.
