Similar to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of irregularly spelled places in the United States, this awful list has nothing that's irregularly spelled, only irregularly pronounced, except it's all subjective. Moreover, many of these names are not even English.... Reywas92Talk 23:37, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

- Delete I'm not sure how a list like this could be anything but opinion. The collision of germanic and latin (french) influences in english make "irregular" spellings the norm. Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 01:07, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what should be done about this, but at the very least I would say remove everything that does not cite to a source specifically describing the spelling as irregular, which might be just about the entire article. I note as well that some of the entries are for regularly spelled names that are purportedly pronounced irregularly. BD2412 T 01:37, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Proposal in 2006 to build a city in India for nanotechnology work. The project never went anywhere and was formally cancelled in 2010. The only sources are two 2006 news articles about the proposals, and two articles when it was cancelled. It is very hard to justify this page as notable, particularly as there is no evidence that this cancelled proposal had any impact -- fails WP:Notability means impact.

- Delete per nom. Very convincing nominating statement. A brief search for sources turned up this, which confirms that it didn't happen. I don't think there's any coverage from after 2011 (no lasting coverage). Toadspike [Talk] 09:49, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep or Merge - Notability means impact is an essay, not a policy. This article meets WP:GNG in that there is significant coverage from reliable sources about the proposal - regardless of whether or not it eventuated.

- Merge into Sabeer Bhatia. That seems like the correct fit for both. — Maile (talk) 00:30, 14 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete If someone wants to mention this on Sabeer Bhatia that's fine. Merging more than a 1-2 sentence mention would seem excessive to me though as there does not appear to be much more than routine news coverage announcing the project and its demise. Tech people/rich people proposing utopias that eventually never happen feels pretty routine these days anyways.Anonrfjwhuikdzz (talk) 01:13, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Non-notable author, professor, and political candidate. He received some national coverage in 2014 because he was the Democratic nominee in the race where Dave Brat primaried out House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, but not very much. The fact that news coverage of him completely dried up after the 2014 race shows he is not a notable person. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 17:05, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

- Comment. It is clear that he does not merit inclusion for his political activity which consists of run of the mill party activism, the 2014 US House election, and a respectable overperformance in a special election earlier this year. This is why professors who run for office are always a tricky one for me. The article is clearly created due to a candidacy, but they might qualify for their professional work. The Mount St. Mary's University directory says that he is at present a Department Chair (which is not to say that Department Chair shares a definition with "chair" at Wikipedia:Notability (academics)). Ultimately, I think this will need to be judged with Wikipedia:Notability (academics) with no regard as to his candidacies. He has a bibliography at Amazon which is NOT self-published works. He also has a number of results on Google Scholar, EBSCO Host, and JSTOR pending verification it is the same Jack Trammell. The article needs an update and to be reframed away from his candidacies. I do hope to have a formal vote before the close of this AfD, but I'm in "weak keep" to "keep" territory at the moment.--Mpen320 (talk) 20:51, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

- I was instrumental to the creation of Grok the web framework so I'm not an unbiased source; in this day and age I would not feel comfortable editing a wikipedia page about it anymore. We're talking about a web framework that had minor but global attention but has had little attention for a long time.
- There is actually a published book about Grok:
- https://www.packtpub.com/en-us/product/grok-10-web-development-9781847197498
- https://www.amazon.com/Grok-1-0-Development-Carlos-Guardia/dp/1847197485
- At some point Grok technology was part of the Plone project:
- https://4.docs.plone.org/appendices/five-grok/background/what-is-grok-and-five-grok.html
- It's not a surprise most of the stuff you could find is in blog sites; this was a web framework conceived during the heyday of blogging and a lot of the primary evidence it had some significance and users in multiple countries is through blog entries. So in the rest I will attempt to show that there was a little global community that used Grok and talked about it. I'm from the Netherlands myself, gave conference talks at least in Germany as far as I can recall.
- The author of the Grok book, Carlos de la Guardia, is from Mexico.
- Here's a company in Lithuania that still has a page up offering Grok consulting services:
- http://www.nous.lt/consulting.html
- Here's a conference talk recording (with terrible audio) about Grok at a Pycon conference in the US:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF77e2TeeQo
- Here's a talk held in Argentina about it:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVbFujCBHjg
- Here's a random youtube video mentioning Grok:
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h17HFEwhz80
- A US developer at Georgia tech:
- And here are some blog entries:
- https://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2007/my-november-grok-presentation/
- A US developer reports on a developer in Brazil (now the author of "Fluent Python") using it:
- https://www.nateaune.com/kirbi-a-peer-to-peer-library-built-with-grok/
- Here's someone blogging in French about it:
- https://www.boureliou.com/2009/grok-1-0-released/
- Here's a presentation in Japanese that mentions Grok:
- http://plone.jp/event-report/opendocs/osw2009-zope
- Here's the website of a company in Germany who talk about a Grok meetup:
- https://www.acsr.de/archive/der-grok-neanderthal-sprint-im-rheinland/
- So it was notable enough to have a small global community of people who used it and talked about t, but it was also a relatively small community. Martijn Faassen (talk) 19:26, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- I also found this paper which discusses Grok:
- "Leveraging Convention over Configuration for
- Static Analysis in Dynamic Languages"

- I did a google book search and there are actually quite a few books that mention Grok:
- Professional Plone 4 Development by Martin Aspeli, 2011
- Pro Python System Administration by Rytis Sileika, 2014
- Python for Unix and Linux System Administration by Noah Gift, Jeremy M. Jones, 2008

- Even an article on Dutch history by J.W.J. Burgers – Rik Hoekstra The registers of the counts of Holland, 1316–1345: a digital edition in G. Vogeler (Hrsg.): Digitale Diplomatik
- / Buchrezensionen mentions Grok in a technology credit.
- Oh, and Fluent Python by Luciano Ramalho, a very popular book about Python, mentions Grok:
- Fluent Python: Clear, Concise, and Effective Programming - Page xxiii Martijn Faassen (talk) 19:55, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Here are some papers that discuss Grok in some detail:
- Worth, David, and Justin Collins. "Leveraging Convention over Configuration for Static Analysis in Dynamic Languages." G 2 reHack 012: 27.
- Cerjak, Jure. Razvoj spletnih aplikacij s platformo Zope. Diss. Univerza v Ljubljani, 2010.
- Lederer, Dominique. "zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades” Master of Science in Engineering”/” Diplomingenieur (FH)”."
- Foglia Ardila, Andrés Felipe. "Comparación del desarrollo de un aplicativo web entre los lenguajes de programación Python y Java." (2014).
- There are plenty of other papers that mention Grok as a Python web framework in a more throwaway way, but that still establishes some level of notability. A good way to filter papers for this specific Grok is to look for "grok zope" or "grok python" (the former works better than the latter). Martijn Faassen (talk) 22:56, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

- I think merging it into Zope as was suggested would make a lot of sense, with a redirect. While Grok may be obscure now, I think the sources I dug up do demonstrate a level of notability.
- Is it because another project named Grok came to prominence that this article has received more scrutiny recently? Search engines would be far more likely to lead to Grok the web framework related material in the past than they do now. Martijn Faassen (talk) 00:47, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

This seems to be an article on an obscure, disused term that was coined in the late 90s to early 2000s and is only used in two sources, and doesn't even seem to be meaningfully distinct from something like culture jamming or détournement.

I found no indication in this article that it meets the criteria set out in WP:GNG or WP:Scholar. However, I did come across a video in which another scholar discusses this individual's work, which suggests that the subject may have some notability as a researcher. That said, this alone is not sufficient to establish Wikipedia notability. I propose deletion. I would be happy if someone could provide reliable sources to support the subject's notability and thus prevent deletion.

- Delete. MathGenealogy, MathSciNet, and zbMATH all have no record of a person by this name. Having no entry in MathSciNet casts serious doubt on the claim of having a Columbia mathematics PhD. Google Scholar has a profile of someone with a single publication on nuclear weapons policy [6], lists several publications by a linguist studying optimality theory with respect to the Alutiiq (linguistics, not mathematics, but with a PhD from Brandeis in psychology [7]), a thesis of an Australian mining engineer, and a book on pro wrestling. Which is to say, no trace of a fringe mathematician, as our article makes Hewitt out to be. The Babcock Ranch source [8] does not mention Hewitt. The Frontier Communications press release [9] does not mention Hewitt. That leaves us with no evidence of passing WP:PROF or WP:GNG, none of the mainstream sources needed to provide a neutral article on a fringe theorist, and no verifiability of anything. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:51, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for the thoughtful review and the concerns raised regarding verifiability and sourcing. I would like to respectfully clarify and respond to the points noted.
- I am indeed Mark S. Hewitt, Ph.D., and I earned my doctorate in mathematics from Columbia University in 1987. As many researchers from that era can appreciate, online academic databases such as MathSciNet or zbMATH did not comprehensively catalog dissertations or publications prior to the widespread digitization of academic records in the late 1990s and 2000s. My graduate work focused on recursive mathematical sequences, which informed much of my subsequent work in telecommunications and systems engineering.
- Regarding the Google Scholar references — I would like to clarify that none of the sources cited in that search pertain to me. There appear to be multiple individuals named Mark Hewitt across various fields (linguistics, nuclear policy, psychology, and even professional wrestling commentary). I am not affiliated with those works.
- My professional career has been deeply embedded in industry — not traditional academia — which explains the absence of a conventional academic publication footprint. My work has spanned roles at Motorola, Frontier Communications, and several other telecommunications and technology companies throughout the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s. During this time, I contributed to early VoIP infrastructure, digital switching systems, and secure communications frameworks — areas often governed by proprietary development and trade secrecy rather than academic publishing.
- I understand Wikipedia’s sourcing policies, and I appreciate the concern for verifiability. I am happy to provide additional credible references, public records, or third-party coverage that may support the biographical details provided in good faith. I am also open to revising the article to reflect a more modest and factually supported description of my contributions, consistent with Wikipedia’s neutral point of view.
- My intent with the page is not to overstate claims or introduce unverifiable content, but rather to document the emerging theoretical framework I am developing (Tribernachi Theory) in a transparent and respectful manner, acknowledging that it is undergoing peer review and academic discussion.
- I welcome further guidance from experienced editors on how best to align the content with Wikipedia standards or alternative pathways to document this work appropriately within the community. Mark (talk) 21:15, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Could you please clarify if you got your PhD from Columbia University or Columbia Pacific University? Are you lying on your autobiography? Good day—RetroCosmos talk 21:36, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- I found https://web.archive.org/web/20031223054928/http://mark-hewitt.com/aboutme.htm, a 2003 web page in which someone named Mark Hewitt (matching particulars from our article including connections to companies named NextBend and Frontier Communications) describes himself as having a business and engineering degree from the University of Alaska. You might think that if he also had a 1987 Columbia University mathematics doctorate he would have mentioned it there, though, right? —David Eppstein (talk) 06:05, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

WP:BLP of an artist and unelected political candidate, not properly sourced as passing either WP:NARTIST or WP:NPOL.
Artists are not automatically notable enough for Wikipedia articles just because their work exists, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on third-party reliable source coverage and analysis about their work -- but the art stuff here is referenced to sources that are not support for notability, such as calendar listings on the self-published primary source websites of galleries where her work has been shown and/or blogs, rather than detailed or substantive coverage about her art.
And unelected candidates do not get articles just for being candidates -- the notability test for politicians is holding a notable political office, not just running for one, while unelected candidates normally get articles only if they already had preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten them an article anyway (which, again, has not been established here). The existence of a small amount of campaign coverage, further, does not give an unelected candidate a GNG pass that would exempt them from NPOL in and of itself -- every candidate in every election everywhere can always show some evidence of campaign coverage, so if campaign coverage were enough to sideline NPOL all by itself then NPOL would be rendered meaningless and unenforceable, since no candidate in any election would ever fail to get exempted from it. And even some of the sourcing for the political stuff is still primary sourcing (e.g. press releases from organizations, raw vote results tables) that wouldn't be support for notability regardless.
So having the merely expected level of coverage in the context of an election campaign that she withdrew from and thus didn't win does not translate into permanent notability in and of itself, if she has no GNG-worthy coverage in any other context besides that.

Arts council that fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. A BEFORE search, I could not find any other sources that weren't liked to the organization or a brief, trivial mention, it has got some local news coverage, but I'm not sure if that can cement notability. Not to mention almost the entire article's tone is promotional. ロドリゲス恭子 (talk) 18:04, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Canada-related deletion discussions. ロドリゲス恭子 (talk) 18:04, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep The Arts Council- Haliburton Highlands has received independent + detailed in local news at the very least [16][17]. The events they put on in the region have also received non-trivial coverage [18]. They received direct support from the Canadian government to start an ongoing symposium on performing arts in rural communities [19]. News about the organization has been presented in the Toronto Star as well [20] .This coverage spans at least a decade, so it's not a small burst. Between the primary source of its website and local coverage that is sometimes included in major Canadian newspapers, it seems like the council is notable + provides a significant amount of arts programming in the Haliburton region. I vote to keep though I agree the article should be updated.

- Comment: A lot of the article text concerns the history of arts initiatives in the area prior to the formation of this Arts Council: such content probably belongs in Haliburton_County#Arts_and_culture (suitably referenced, though). That leads to a wider suggestion that a merge and redirect may be a possibility? AllyD (talk) 07:35, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Article has existed for 10 years and it is still a single sentence. The proposed additions are either irrelevant to the topic, poorly sourced, or rely on primary sources and OR. TurboSuperA+(connect) 15:35, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: a Google Scholar search with the keyword 'Anti-Austrian' turns up quite a lot of results. Stockhausenfan (talk) 21:41, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- The article is not about "anti-Austrian", but about "anti-Austrian sentiment", and that makes a difference because "anti-Austrian" can just mean "against Austria" and can - and does - often refer to political actions taken against Austria in a specific situation. Rsk6400 (talk) 18:34, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep – I dispute all the claimed issues in the reverted additions I made, but regardless page issues that can be solved are not grounds for deletion. The discussion should have been kept to the talk page instead of being escalated to an erroneous speedy deletion tag and then an AfD. Yue🌙 18:19, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Paraphrasing myself on Talk:Anti-Austrian sentiment:
- I can respond to arguments against the relevancy of the additions (i.e. content) if there are specific points made, perhaps a quote of the content that is considered problematic or questionable, instead of just claiming the entirety of the additions as invalid.
- All the sources cited in the original additions were scholarly secondary sources by historians with PhDs and specialisations in Austrian, German and/or European history and culture.
- The only exception to the above point was a History.com source which is considered generally unreliable and is to be used with caution (Ancient Aliens nonsense and such). However, the sentences it was verifying are not controversial facts of history, and alternative sources exist, such as "Anti-German and anti-Austrian printed text propaganda in the Russian empire at the beginning of World War I", a scholarly article by Olena Kolomoiets and Yurii Kolomoiets; The National WWI Museum and Memorial in Kansas City website; Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty.
- The topic passes WP:GNG because it has focused, in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources, which I cited with page-specificity in my additions.

- The inline citations in the new content were page-specific and not conjecture derived merely from the article title. I did not restore my additions out of respect for the resolution process for the original dispute over if the content should be included, but it's pretty non-sensical for the basis of this deletion discussion to rest on an inferior version of the article when a superior version exists, even if one argues the superior version is still problematic or should be deleted.

- Ref 4 about supposedly receiving a presidential order does not mention her name.
- Ref 6, 7, 8 and 10 about supposed endeavors in Latvia do not lead anywhere relevant.
- Why don't any other Wikipedia page (most notably Thirteenth Saeima of Latvia) or interwiki page mention her?
- My google search for "Elvire Jaspers" Saeima yielded 0 results outside of Wikipedia.
- The same thing applies to "Elvire Jaspers" site:.lv.
- This is not a Latvian person at all, try searching in Dutch domains and you will see that she is from the Netherlands.

Article was created by a sockpuppet account named "Novonium", since blocked indefinitely, in 2012. The article appears to have a pretty rich editing history by socks, also since blocked, in the years following its creation. There is a strong WP:DENY argument to be made alone for deleting this article.
Additionally, most of the sources mention Nick Bilton in passing or refer to works of his but are not about the man himself. Therefore, though articles about some of Bilton's work might be notable, the subject matter BLP, Bilton, is himself not notable and the article should be deleted.

But from going over the sources in the article, the person seems to be notable to be a Wikipedia article. Even being the author of 3 books would make them notable.

There's no indication of notability as per WP:NACADEMIC or WP:GNG. The subject probably passes WP:POLITICIAN as a former member of a legislative body SCCR, but it's good to reach a clearer consensus. Xpander (talk) 18:47, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

- Speedy keep, WP:SK3. What is the point of starting an AfD when the nomination statement itself states that the subject probably passes a notability criterion, WP:NPOL? But for the record I think he also has a good case for WP:PROF #C2 (Templeton prize), #C3 (Academy of Sciences of Iran), and #C5 (distinguished professor), so the nomination claim of "no indication of notability" through academic notability is both a WP:VAGUEWAVE and completely erroneous. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:36, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- @David Eppstein. As for #C5 I couldn't find any independent sources for the distinction claim. As for #C2 how is "winner of a course program" and a "former judge" notable? As for #C3 it has hundreds of members most of which are not notable. So I don't think it passes WP:PROF as suggested. Xpander (talk) 21:22, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- You're missing the point. Why would you nominate a former member of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution for deletion when you say yourself that it's enough for NPOL? People who are notable need only be notable for one thing; even if you don't believe he is notable as an academic, notability as a politician is enough. For that matter, he's also likely not notable as an athlete (because we have no record of any athletic accomplishments) nor as a musician (likewise); do you think that should be a valid rationale to delete someone notable as a politician? —David Eppstein (talk) 22:03, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- @David Eppstein I certainly respect your points. The issue with SCCR is that it is not a de jure legislative body, and if it is, it is not a common one, i.e. as compared to the US, UK etc. where the only legislature is the Congress/Parliament/Assembly. On their website they mention:
The duties of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution can be divided into three areas: policymaking, regulation development, and supervision[1].
- So it doesn't say lawmaking specifically, although it is mentioned in their by-law, that in case of needing law-changes they can ask the corresponding body to provide the necessary arrangements:
Article 32 - If the Supreme Council resolution requires a law, regulation, or resources to be implemented, the matter will be sent to the head of the relevant authority or the highest official of the relevant body for legal procedures to be carried out, in order to provide the necessary arrangements.[2]
- So maybe it could be interpreted as an executive body rather than a legislative one? That's why I said probably. Some editors have rejected the notability claim based on membership of this body. So the rationale was to reach as clear a consensus as possible. Xpander (talk) 07:01, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

- It might do to revisit some tacit assumptions, David Eppstein. I found a potted biography preceding the main interview in Richardson & Slack 2005 , and whilst it has degrees, awards, and books it has no mention of membership of that organization. The claim to membership was not in this article for the first 10 years of its life, only being added without source nor edit summary in 2017. It's not even made in Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, which merely claims, with zero sourcing, membership of a predecessor organization. Is the whole back-and-forth above based upon assuming as a given a claim that is not actually true? Certainly, even with the assumption, what the status of the SCCR is is irrelevant, as the (unsourced!) claim is that this person was a member of an appointed council of university professors in the Cultural Revolution HQ that preceded the 1984 foundation of the SCCR.

- Redirect to Jewish News, where he is named as the editor. I can't find much coverage about him - the best sources would appear to be Britain's Jews: Confidence, Maturity, Anxiety [32], which has about 5 pages reporting on an interview with him, which says he is not religious, and the Spiegel International source in the article already, which gives his age at the time. I haven't found many sources which quote him, either (as distinct from publishing his writings) - the book Muslims Don't Matter [33] has a small para quoting one thing he wrote, but that seems to be about all. I don't see any status or achievements that would meet any notability criteria, either. RebeccaGreen (talk) 04:42, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

- Not as clear notability as the others, but she was a world championship medalist and Olympedia includes a photo that looks recent from the Sportarad newspaper, which indicates that they likely covered her.

The issue is that our access to sources from the time are ridiculously poor and this guy has like a dozen names he could have been covered under, and none of us speak Arabic, which makes this extremely hard to search for. Nonetheless a decent article has been developed with his significant accomplishments and coverage has been found showing he was known as a very accomplished figure in Kuwaiti athletics. He's notable.

Subject lacks the needed WP:SIGCOV to meet the WP:GNG, with only database sources in the article.

No indication of notability for this early century footballer. I dug through some Spanish archives and found some trivial mentions in publications like Mundo Deportivo (1), La Vanguardia (1), La Patria (1), Gran Vida (1), Sport (1, 2, 3), El Mundo (1), Heraldo Deportivo (1), and El Sol (1), but never anything approaching WP:SIGCOV.

Barr Theo (talk) 18:59, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Experienced new page reviewers like myself and @North8000: seem to agree that you have taken advantage of this leeway given to you and created articles like Ubaldo Redó, Florencio Peña, Albert Mercier, Ramón Escolà, Joaquim Torrent and Eloy Matute with no attempt at locating quality independent sources. When no attempt is made, some articles are bound to get sent to a discussion. JTtheOG (talk) 19:12, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Mercier is a French international, Peña played in a Copa del Rey final, Redó netted a hat-trick in La Liga (Spanish top division), Escolà and Torrent have one newspaper independent source (and surely more offline), and Matute will have one when I add this [36]. So, what is your point again? Barr Theo (talk) 19:28, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Participation-based notability guidelines for sportspeople were deprecated over 3 years ago. SPORTCRIT states that
All sports biographies... must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources.

- Keep I know this isn't a good argument, but there are plenty of obscure British cricketers and footballers with articles with no more than an appearance or two. This guy actually had a substantial career.Brianyoumans (talk) 14:33, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep I agree with Brianyoumans 110%. I have created several Spanish footballers more obscure than this one, and JTtheOG simply tagged them with "no sigcov", but as of late, he has been tagging them for deletion. I don't know what changed, but it is disappointing to see such an experienced user like him being so reckless and cutthroat with these obscure footballers who "were clearly notable in their time".
