December 2021
- Uranpyrochlore (of Hogarth 1977): nominated at RM; New name: Ellsworthite 05:31, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NATURALDIS, nonstandard disambiguator. Also consider Betafite as a potential target.
- 2028 in sports: nominated at AfD; notified Росул (talk · contribs) 23:00, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:TOOSOON? Only 3 listed events, versus 6 for the preceding 2027 in sports, and 2 of those are the Summer Olympics and Paralympics. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2032 in sports.
- 1993 congressional hearings on video games: nominated at RM; New name: 1993 United States Senate hearings on video games 06:31, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Needs to specify a country.
- Category:Petromyzontiformes: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Lampreys; notified ProveIt (talk · contribs) 16:52, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Taxon with commonly used common name, matching main article Lamprey.
- Hycean planet: nominated at AfD; notified Drbogdan (talk · contribs) 20:10, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fsils WP:NEO, based a single paper in The Astrophysical Journal published in August 2021. All pop-sci coverage, such as the other two references in this article, is about the same study.
- Uranium nitride: nominated at RM; New name: Uranium nitrides 08:19, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Appears to discuss three different compounds of uranium and nitrogen.
- Category:Group 4 silicates: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Silicates; notified Plasmic Physics (talk · contribs) 08:43, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, only 2 articles out of a possible 3, if rutherfordium is excluded for obvious reasons.
- Uranous: nominated at RM; New name: Uranium(IV) 23:47, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: In order to make this article more encyclopedic and less a WP:DICDEF, we should start by changing the title from an adjective to the stock nomenclature that would refer to U4+ by itself. Presumably, the end product will be similar to Iodide (I−), unless U(IV) complexes should be discussed as well, then I would rename it to Uranium(IV) compounds and format it somewhat like Palladium(III) compounds.
- Draft:Faculty of Law, University of Lucknow: nominated at MfD; notified Parantak.yadav (talk · contribs) 21:55, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Draft resubmitted after rejection (see Special:Diff/1051620643/1059203195) for lack of notability, though it is unlikely that the IP who did the new submit, 103.85.96.243 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) is connected to the draft author, Parantak.yadav (talk · contribs). Rejecting user Dodger67 (talk · contribs) recommended merging select content into University of Lucknow.
- Category:Arabic honorific titles: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Arabic honorifics 02:24, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: e.g. Category:Japanese honorifics.
- Category:Fictional Venetian Jews: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional Italian Jews; notified Onifpaz (talk · contribs) 18:41, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, contains only 2 characters from the same Shakesperean play.
- Category:Fictional Australian Jews: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional Jews; notified Onifpaz (talk · contribs) 18:43, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: And Category:Fictional Australian people, per WP:SMALLCAT.
- Category:Fictional Maltese Jews: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional Jews; notified Onifpaz (talk · contribs) 18:44, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: And Category:Fictional Maltese people, per WP:SMALLCAT.
- Category:Fictional Australian people by ethnic or national origin: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional Australian people; notified Shaolin Punk (talk · contribs) 18:45, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary wrapper for two subcategories, one of which is CfD'd below.
- Category:Fictional Ukrainian Jews: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional Jews; notified Shaolin Punk (talk · contribs) 18:47, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Only 3 entries, 2 of which are redirects to the same film.
- List of secret societies in popular culture: nominated at AfD; notified Tom harrison (talk · contribs) 20:38, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Ill-defined, indiscriminate list that mixes real and fictional organizations ranging from the Ku Klux Klan to SPECTRE. Zero references apart from 2 about the real-life KKK, and a primary-sourced entry regarding The Da Vinci Code, and few entries that are notable.
- Psychedelics in problem-solving experiment: nominated at AfD; notified Custoo (talk · contribs) 21:54, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A single science experiment with no reliable medical sources. It was initially redirected by Alexbrn (talk · contribs) in October 2017 after sequentially removing massive amounts of WP:COATRACK and non-RS, but was unilaterally restored in December by Ianneman (talk · contribs) on invalid grounds that "[i]n the current climate of research, fully sourced discussion on this subject is impossible". Alexbrn recently did another trim and then PRODded the article, but was deprodded by Custoo (talk · contribs) without explanation.
- List of films about gold mining: nominated at AfD; notified Superstars8547 (talk · contribs) 20:39, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:LISTN, WP:IINFO. Only references are database entries or news articles about the films, mostly Rotten Tomatoes pages, rather than documentation on gold mining in popular culture. The two external links are top-10 listicles about mining in general. Oddly, there's no delsort about mining or extractive industries.
- List of websites blocked in the Philippines: nominated at AfD; notified Chitetskoy (talk · contribs) 22:17, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Prodded by an IP user with rationale, "We dont need an incomplete list of cruft about this." That is not a good ratioanle, but the deprod rationale by single-edit account Aazph (talk · contribs) was even worse: "Proposing for deletion of information about censorship is utterly ironically an act of censorship." Nonetheless, it probably fails WP:LISTN, since coverage seems to be limited to a mass blocking of about 2500 porn websites in January 2017.
- Category:TV series involved in plagiarism controversies: nominated at CfDS (C2B); New name: Category:Television shows involved in plagiarism controversies 00:51, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Expand abbreviation, not particularly specific to one kind of television show.
- Category:Hwandan Gogi: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Pseudohistory; notified Visviva (talk · contribs) 19:34, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, contains only main and 1 other article (Hwan-guk) after removing an entry that didn't mention Hwandan Gogi. The latter page is already in the merge target.
- User:Annette Maon/Don't loop up: nominated at MfD; notified Annette Maon (talk · contribs) 19:37, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NOTESSAY, user essay unrelated to Wikipedia. Does not technically meet CSD U5 since the user has substantial contributions outside of userspace.
- List of programs broadcast by Minimax: nominated at AfD; notified CrypticalFiery (talk · contribs) 01:42, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I have come to question the utility of the list, since Minimax evidently does not air any original programming. Also, the vast majority of the list is unsourced. I'm unable to search efficiently for precedent, since the delsort archives are lagging my browser and the AfD archive search is clogged with pages from a mass nomination incident in 2017, but I think we delete programming lists that are merely repackagings of programs on other channels.
- 2019 Ambazonian leadership crisis: nominated at RM; New name: 2019–2021 Ambazonian leadership crisis 19:15, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Still an ongoing event. It is likely that it will continue into 2022, so 2019–2022 Ambazonian leadership crisis will likely be the optimal title instead by the time this discussion is finished.
- Category:Real closed field: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Real closed fields; notified Rick Block (talk · contribs) 10:58, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Is a set category, not a topic category.
- Infinity plus one: nominated at AfD; notified MattGiuca (talk · contribs) 23:29, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This is hardly about "infinity plus one", so much as a brief rehash of several existing articles about different kinds of infinity. It would appear that "young people's ideas of infinity", as detailed at [1], is a noteworthy topic, but the sources seem to focus only on infinity in educational contexts or on specific formalisms of infinity such as the surreal numbers.
- Category:Ideals: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Ideals (ring theory) 07:56, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Ideal is a disambiguation page.
- Category:Formally real field: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Rick Block (talk · contribs) 08:06, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Barely used category for a highly technical definition. Both entries are already in the parent category.
- Category:Field (mathematics): nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fields (mathematics); notified Schneelocke (talk · contribs) 08:08, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: There are about 30 entries that are about specific fields or classes of fields, such as Euclidean field and Rational number. Several of the other subcategories in the Category:Ring theory tree use the plural form as well.
- User:Running4uni/sandbox: nominated at MfD; notified Running4uni (talk · contribs) 20:35, 31 December 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Abandoned userspace draft (last edited 29 May 2020) that duplicates the topic of Male infertility crisis.
January 2022
- Category:Unregistered public associations listed as a Russian foreign agent: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Organizations listed as a Russian foreign agent; notified Wikisaurus (talk · contribs) 07:57, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: What is an "unregistered public association"? Also, the listed merge target should not be a redirect to Category:Non-profit organizations listed as a Russian foreign agent, especially one that is included in categories; any organizations that aren't nonprofits could go here.
- Category:Wineries of the Middle East: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Wineries by country; notified Scharks (talk · contribs) 09:05, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary category layer.
- Category:People murdered by police: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:People murdered by law enforcement officers 01:34, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Other subcats of Category:People_killed_by_law_enforcement_officers do not use police.
- Category:Forced disappearances in South Africa: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Forced disappearances; notified GiantSnowman (talk · contribs) 01:37, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, one article about a police kidnapping in the apartheid era.
- Ideal ring bundle: nominated at AfD; notified Марталан (talk · contribs) 12:25, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
- ECPP: nominated at AfD; notified Skysmith (talk · contribs) 06:05, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: It's difficult to discern an overall primary topic from search results; most of the search results don't match a Wikipedia article and are probably non-notable. However, of the two existing articles indexed on this dab, Elliptic curve primality and the redirect listed on this page unambiguously trump the Environmental Crime Prevention Program in pageviews, so this fails WP:2DABS. It is in fact possible that the latter topic is not independently notable from Mario Scaramella, since none of the current sources are suitable for proving notability, but that will need to be discussed at its own AfD.Oddly enough, this dab page was created in 2006 with the algorithm and one never-created redlink, and for several years had an unliked, probably promotional entry as well. Only earlier today did I remove the two bad entries.
- User:Dnshitobu: nominated at MfD; notified Dnshitobu (talk · contribs) 14:04, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NOTWEBHOST, but the statements about the Dagbani Wikipedia are potentially admissible, so U5 may not apply.
- Category:Errors: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Wikipedia errors; notified JsfasdF252 (talk · contribs) 05:18, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: To distinguish from the content category Category:Error. Merge target already redirects here.
- Category:Works about Intel: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Intel; notified CoffeeWithMarkets (talk · contribs) 05:38, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: And the other two parent categories, due to WP:SMALLCAT; only entry is The Innovators (book).
- Category:Non-classical analysis: nominated at CfDS (C2F); New name: Category:Fields of mathematical analysis 21:36, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Only article is also proposed for deletion.
- Category:Cosmology articles needing infoboxes: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified G S Palmer (talk · contribs) 17:55, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unused maintenance category, and most cosmology articles don't need an infobox.
- Sex differences in eyewitness memory: nominated at AfD; notified Kvoigt4 (talk · contribs) 01:09, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Prodded by Xurizuri (talk · contribs) with rationale
The article is a description of a series of primary sources (WP:OR). No reviews or other secondary sources could be located (WP:N).
, and endorsed by Plutonium27 (talk · contribs) due to WP:NOTESSAY. Deprodded by Jim Grisham (talk · contribs) with rationalefix or merge as appropriate
, which is inappropriate if the content is WP:SYNTH and there are no secondary sources to back up the claims. Is any information WP:DUE for inclusion in Eyewitness memory?
- Reason: Prodded by Xurizuri (talk · contribs) with rationale
- Non-classical analysis: nominated at AfD; notified 137.111.13.34 (talk · contribs) 01:14, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Prodded by Felix QW (talk · contribs) due to lack of evidence that this is a coherent topic (WP:SYNTH and WP:GNG). Deprodded without explanation or improvement by Jim Grisham (talk · contribs).
{{collapse top|From [[Talk:Non-classical analysis#OR?]]}}Do we have any sources for all these items being grouped under such a heading? Tkuvho (talk) 10:01, 11 November 2011 (UTC): I don't think we do actually, the distinction here clearly isn't in the non-classical logic sense, given the topics. And while there are many books on "Classical Analysis" it is not clear to me we should group these topics together because they are are not in these texts. Thenub314 (talk) 03:05, 13 November 2011 (UTC)::This is actually a nice umbrella term, although the list as its stands seems to be OR. Felix QW has PRODded it, although I winder if draftification might be better until we figure out what to do with the idea. I'd be prepared to steward the article through AfC. — Charles Stewart (talk) 12:42, 10 January 2022 (UTC):::In that case, I'd be happy to take back the PROD. I wanted to tidy up the page, as I couldn't figure any sensible grouping which included p-adic analysis and intuitionistic analysis but excluded non-standard analysis. So I did some research on the concept, and I only found one pertinent reference. That is a philosophy paper by Harrison on Zeno's paradoxes, in which the author explicitly states that we he calls non-classical analysis is usually called synthetic differential geometry (p. 279 there). :::So I became convinced that the term isn't actually in general use, and since I couldn't figure out the inclusion criteria used here either, I thought it appropriate to PROD it. Felix QW (talk) 13:50, 10 January 2022 (UTC)::::It's a mess of OR (I don't suppose there is a reliable source that gives the same definition as in the lead) and false claims (all widely accepted constructive analysis can be formalised in ZFC). We're better off not having it in articlespace as it stands. I just think it isn't a terrible skeleton on which to build a defensible article. — Charles Stewart (talk) 00:10, 11 January 2022 (UTC):::::Agreed! So how do we go about this? WP:DRAFTIFY seems to suggest that we would have to go through AfD to draftify an "old" page? Felix QW (talk) 08:31, 11 January 2022 (UTC)::::::Wait for the PROD to run out. If it's soft deleted, I can ask to draftify it, if it's deprodded, I can list it at AfD. — Charles Stewart (talk) 09:45, 11 January 2022 (UTC):::::::De-Prodded by Jim Grisham already. Would you like to list it at AfD then? Felix QW (talk) 11:13, 11 January 2022 (UTC):::::::*OK, I'll start one before long. It occurs to me that redirecting to Mathematical analysis#Other topics is simpler than draftifying. It's worthy of discussion. — Charles Stewart (talk) 19:14, 11 January 2022 (UTC){{collapse bottom}}
- Reason: Prodded by Felix QW (talk · contribs) due to lack of evidence that this is a coherent topic (WP:SYNTH and WP:GNG). Deprodded without explanation or improvement by Jim Grisham (talk · contribs).
- File:TNBC (1993-2000) logo.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified QuasyBoy (talk · contribs) 03:36, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This non-free logo is not needed at TNBC in addition to the one used from 2000–2002 (File:TNBC (2000-2002) logo.png), per WP:NFCC#3a and WP:IINFO.
- Category:Invalid proofs: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Mathematical fallacies 20:15, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Category:Independence movements in Antigua and Barbuda: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Separatism in Antigua and Barbuda; notified 123waawaaaa (talk · contribs) 00:56, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, only subcategory of Category:Independence movements by country.
- Category:Pandigital numbers: nominated at CfDS (C2F); New name: Category:Base-dependent integer sequences 04:00, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
- Category:Nusantara: nominated at CfDS (C2F); New name: Category:Proposed populated places 16:37, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The article Nusantara (city) is already in multiple subcategories of the very large Category:Indonesia, so don't merge there.
- Traci Hovel: nominated at AfD; notified Some Dude From North Carolina (talk · contribs) 02:16, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Was unilaterally redirected to What Would You Do? (2008 TV program) by the article creator Some Dude From North Carolina (talk · contribs), but given the long list of (mostly minor) roles, the redirect target is probably inappropriate, and deletion may be required if she fails WP:NACTOR and cannot be redirected to What Would You Do?
- Green tensor: nominated at RfD; Target: Deformation (physics) (notified); notified Cdang (talk · contribs) 03:28, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not mentioned in the current target or the former targets Strain tensor or Finite strain theory. There are tensors with Green's name attached to it, but those fail WP:PTM.
- Category:African American–Asian relations: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Hindbærbrus (talk · contribs) 02:29, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT — contains only 1992 Los Angeles riots, which does not appear to directly involve race relations.
- Category:Asian-American issues: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified HongQiGong (talk · contribs) 02:34, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Lacks a well-defined scope, and is largely redundant to other subcategories of Category:Asian-American society.
- Category:Tetragonal crystals: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Eric Kvaalen (talk · contribs) 04:01, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Content is identical to Category:Tetragonal crystal system.
- Category:Triclinic crystals: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Eric Kvaalen (talk · contribs) 04:02, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Content is identical to Category:Triclinic crystal system, apart from main article.
- Category:Trigonal crystals: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Trigonal crystal system; notified Eric Kvaalen (talk · contribs) 04:03, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Redundant category structure.
- Fictional world of The Hunger Games: nominated at AfD; notified Glimmer721 (talk · contribs) 07:35, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Entirely weakly-sourced plot summary with no attempt whatsoever to establish real-world notability. I see evidence that there may be academic analysis of the setting, but that would require a rewrite almost from scratch. How would I judge this from Google Scholar results?
- Tom Jones (TV series): nominated at RM; New name: Tom Jones (TV programme) 21:15, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Is this really a television series, or is it a non-serial variety show?
- List of fictional states of the United States: nominated at AfD; notified Branddobbe (talk · contribs) 02:58, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The list has few sources and seems to fail WP:LISTN. A large number of the entries are themselves non-notable as well. I usually tolerate plot-significant states in notable works, and sometimes also fictional things from non-works, but like many low-quality lists of fictional elements by type, many entries are mere passing mentions; from works that do not have articles, including books by redlinked authors; or places not even confirmed as US states. A good example of the latter is "North Montana" as a future version of Canada in Meet the Robinsons, which is mentioned as a one-off gag and is never claimed to be part of the US — all that is said is that it "hasn't been called Canada for years."Aside from notability concerns, the article has serious problems with its scope. We have everything from purely fictional states (the ostensible topic, and same as Category:Fictional states of the United States); fictionalized versions of real or proposed states, such as works where the proposed State of Deseret became reality; various alternate history or otherwise fictionalized versions of the US, such as scenarios where the American Revolution failed; and breakaway states formed from the US, such as fictionalized versions of the Confederate States of America.
- 9/11 conspiracy theories: nominated at RM; New name: September 11 conspiracy theories 22:36, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Most other articles in the topic area call it the "September 11 attacks" or just "September 11", not "9/11". The last move request was in 2010, but consensus could have changed since then. Another alternative could be Conspiracy theories about the September 11 attacks.
February 2022
- Template:Aleph: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:Rhr (notified); notified Kwamikagami (talk · contribs) 08:55, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Rather misleading since the target is not necessarily a transcription of aleph in a Semitic script, and especially since it makes it harder to describe aleph numbers in mathematics.
- Sokha Hotels: nominated at AfD; notified Ericmc007 (talk · contribs) 22:52, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unreferenced microstub since 2015, with the only claim of significance being that it is the largest hotel chain in Cambodia. I'm not sure how to discern notability for this topic area, but the search results I've found in English aren't promising. There may be sources in the Khmer language, but no Khmer-language name or kmwiki article is given which could be searched.
- Category:Fictional states of the United States: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional regions; notified Branddobbe (talk · contribs) 11:54, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Like the recently deleted main article, most of these articles and redirects are not actually U.S. states; the four that are (Calisota, Springfield's State (The Simpsons), Winnemac (fictional U.S. state), and possibly Pennsyltucky) can be merged into Category:Fictional regions and Category:Fictional locations in the United States; Moosylvania and Panem could also be incorporated into relevant parent categories.
- Interplanetary transport (disambiguation): nominated at AfD; notified 65.94.171.217 (talk · contribs) 14:12, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Disambiguation pages are supposed to navigate topics with the same name, not similar topics. The contents are two partial title matches, the target of the redirect at the base title, and List of interplanetary voyages that is included for no reason except being a subtopic of the aforementioned.
- Category:Comets with aphelia greater than 1000 AU: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified DN-boards1 (talk · contribs) 23:48, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:ARBITRARYCAT and contains only two articles.
- Category:Replica of stave churches: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Replicas of stave churches 00:22, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unambiguously a set category.
- Category:Replica of stave churches in Sweden: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Replicas of stave churches in Sweden 00:23, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unambiguously a set category.
- : nominated at RfD; Target: Eggplant (notified); notified Silas S. Brown (talk · contribs) 00:20, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: What is this Private Use Areas character, and should it be redirected back to Private Use Areas?
- Evan Jones (Blue Heelers): nominated at AfD; notified BKBTE (talk · contribs) 21:57, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTPLOT, according to prodder Avilich (talk · contribs). Changes made by the deprodder, Jlmtw91 (talk · contribs), did not address these concerns, and the new refs are primarily IMDb entries about episodes of Blue Heelers.
- Index of Malawi-related articles: nominated at AfD; notified Stan Shebs (talk · contribs) 22:20, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The previous AfD agreed to move this index to WikiProject space at Wikipedia:WikiProject Malawi/Index of Malawi-related articles, but it was moved back in December 2013, in ignorance of consensus, by a request at WP:RMTR. With a large number of redlinks and over 13000 pages in the Category:Malawi tree, this is useless for navigation.
- Index of Andhra Pradesh–related articles: nominated at AfD; notified Kwdt2 (talk · contribs) 01:27, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Huge wall of over 5,500 articles and 340 categories, and 11 navboxes and sidebars, out of around 17,000 in Category:Andhra Pradesh, is useless for navigation and burdensome to edit on some systems. There are still some articles about the state of Telangana, created in 2014, that haven't been moved to the corresponding Index of Telangana-related articles.
- Index of Telangana-related articles: nominated at AfD; notified Muthye (talk · contribs) 01:32, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Huge wall of over 5,600 articles, 439 categories, and 5 navboxes, out of around 15,000 in Category:Telangana, is useless for navigation and burdensome to edit on some systems. Some entries are anachronistic or misplaced, since the state was separated from Andhra Pradesh in 2014.
- Index of Uzbekistan-related articles: nominated at AfD; notified Nedim Ardoğa (talk · contribs) 01:49, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Deprodded in an attempt to complete the list. This index is more narrow in scope than other country indices, focusing only on the core topics such as major cities, but Outline of Uzbekistan already serves that purpose. There are nearly 40,000 articles in the Category:Uzbekistan tree.
- Hyperline: nominated at RfD; Target: Square (notified); notified Datapacrat (talk · contribs) 14:13, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not mentioned at target; only use on enwiki is an undefined term at Bootstrap error-adjusted single-sample technique. Most search results are about commercial products not mentioned anywhere on enwiki.
- File:MarioKart8Deluxe.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified ChallengeCick (talk · contribs) 08:40, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: We don't need both this image and File:MarioKart8Boxart.jpg on the same article (Mario Kart 8) to represent two editions of the same game that are both covered in the article. Aside from that, this image is oversized and, if kept instead of the cover for the original MK8, should be reduced to no wider than 257 pixels.
- Category:Physical Chemistry articles needing expert attention: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Harryboyles (talk · contribs) 19:44, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Empty category without a matching WikiProject, only entry has been removed because it used the category without the {{expert needed}} tag.
- Mathematical constants by continued fraction representation: nominated at AfD; notified XJaM (talk · contribs) 23:53, 20 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unreferenced, indiscriminate table, with context supported only by links obscured with LaTeX math markup, e.g. (Gauss's constant). A user removed all the continued fractions at List of mathematical constants in 2019 because it was causing excessive clutter. Can't find similar tables online, but not 100% confident that it fails WP:LISTN.
- Soumen Sikdar: nominated at RfD; Target: Presidency University, Kolkata (notified); notified Soumaniac (talk · contribs) 01:32, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Person not mentioned at target, or anywhere else.
- Gerner Kronick + Valcarcel Architects: nominated at AfD; notified FoodShelter (talk · contribs) 01:31, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Article about a company that seems to fail WP:NCORP. All references are either dead or about their projects (e.g. 5 Beekman Street), not them. Notability is not inherited from designing notable or quasi-notable buildings. Note that the company name is sometimes spelled with an & instead of a +. The closest I could find to a notability-supporting source was [2], which shows that they won an award that does not have a Wikipedia article for designing a Park Hyatt hotel in Istanbul.
- Soumen Kumar Mondul: nominated at RfD; Target: St. James' School (Kolkata) (notified); notified Soumaniac (talk · contribs) 05:06, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Person not mentioned at target, or anywhere else.
March 2022
- Category:Waste facilities in Israel: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Waste processing sites; notified Flymeoutofhere (talk · contribs) 05:22, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Only 2 articles, and not part of an established country scheme, possibly due to the small size of Category:Waste processing sites.
- Category:Incinerators in Adelaide: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Incinerators; notified Bilby (talk · contribs) 05:24, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, only 1 article.
- List of incinerators in the United Kingdom: nominated at AfD; notified Vortexrealm (talk · contribs) 05:28, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NOTDIRECTORY of mostly non-notable facilities, no evidence of WP:LISTN, and only list of its kind. Navigation is already provided by Category:Incinerators and Category:Waste power stations in the United Kingdom.
- Template:Don't know: nominated at RM; New name: Template:Don't know license 06:09, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Too vague, could be confused with something else.
- Diuranium: nominated at RfD; Target: Uranium (notified); notified 1YlGC6dsynvm (talk · contribs) 01:19, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The species U2 is mentioned at Quintuple bond and Phi bond, but not Uranium.
- Chithravadham: nominated at RfD; Target: Impalement (notified); notified InarZan2 (talk · contribs) 23:48, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Was an article about impalement as an execution method in medieval Kerala, but is no longer mentioned at target.
- Impale: nominated at RM; New name: Impale (disambiguation) 01:44, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm pretty confident that Impalement is the primary topic for the same reason it's at a base title. Impaling also redirects to that title.
- Category:Architects killed by falling buildings or by falling from buildings: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Accidental deaths from falls; notified Pontificalibus (talk · contribs) 01:40, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:NARROWCAT, and lumps together two very different kinds of deaths.
- List of railway stations in the United States: nominated at RfD; Target: List of Amtrak stations (notified); notified JailBrokenIPODGoneWild (talk · contribs) 21:10, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Too specific a target. Suggest deleting and creating a Lists of railway stations in the United States for the contents in Category:Lists of railway stations in the United States.
- Bellevue Lake: nominated at AfD; notified JFox 0931 (talk · contribs) 21:26, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Created by JFox 0931 (talk · contribs), who has a history of questionable article creations about natural features in northern Delaware, then PRODded by user VickKiang (talk · contribs) with rationale:
Deprodded by a user Djflem (talk · contribs) who thinks it should be redirected to another article, possibly Stoney Creek (Delaware), instead of deleting it outright. Also, the article has poor spelling and capitalization, and unencyclopedic style.A questionably significant article without any refs that is an RS that I can find clearly includes original research that is required for the content. The ref provided is questionable and certainly not denoting "significant coverage", merely a database with a trivial mention of two sentences that "Bellevue Lake is near Wilmington. The most popular species caught here are Largemouth bass, Bluegill, and Black crappie. 309 catches are logged on Fishbrain." Indeed, most of the content of this article is original research, which fails a fundamental policy.

- Aluminum building wiring: nominated at RM; New name: Aluminium building wiring 21:38, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Although the article primarily discusses United States, the topic is not inherently geo-specific and therefore should use standard IUPAC spelling.
April 2022
- Twelfth planet (disambiguation): nominated at AfD; notified Serendipodous (talk · contribs) 02:46, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Is the Zecharia Sitchin book The 12th Planet or 12th Planet (musician) the primary topic? This page should be moved to the base title if there is no primary topic; otherwise, it can be deleted per WP:2DABS with one article having a hatnote to the other.
- Gamma Phi Delta (sorority): nominated at RM (technical); New name: Gamma Phi Delta 22:25, 2 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Disambiguator without a base title or other topic.
- Category:Oecusse Municipality: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Oecusse 06:21, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
- Category:Pseudoastronomers: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Pseudoscientific astronomers; notified Hob Gadling (talk · contribs) 03:40, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: While grouping proponents of astronomy-related pseudoscience is a coherent idea, I cannot find adequate attestation to this neologism. Also, the new name would match other subcategories of Category:Advocates of pseudoscience.
- Traditional fishing boat: nominated at AfD; notified Epipelagic (talk · contribs) 21:51, 14 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:SYNTH, as no reference presents it as a coherent topic outside of the history of a specific culture. Some references, such as Ref. 1, mention some variant of the term in passing without clearly defining the or presenting it as a coherent topic; that reference distinguishes it from motorized vessels, while Ref. 37 (already a dubious source) and Smylie (2013) use it in the context of a specific culture, and Ref 33 does not use the word traditional at all. Similarly, the vast majority of the contents of this article are a mishmash of various boat types and some WP:OR, and it does not really provide a coherent definition of the topic. See also Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_March_30#Category:Traditional_boats, which has similar concerns.
- Electron cloud densitometry: nominated at AfD; notified Samsiq (talk · contribs) 08:18, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded by the IP user 159.253.109.209 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) with rationale:
Seems to be based on the work of one research group published in low-quality journals, most of the article describes only elementary physics.
The author Samsiq (talk · contribs) deprodded the article without adequately addressing the concerns — the new section consists only of background information about van der Waals forces and a description of two images with no clear relation to the section's topic; and contrary to the deprodder's assertion, "elementary physics" as defined by the IP includes basic quantum mechanics. All references are from O. P. Kucherov et al. or are irrelevant to the ostensible topic.
- Reason: PRODded by the IP user 159.253.109.209 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) with rationale:
- Category:Planck units: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Arbnos (talk · contribs) 11:42, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, most items were redirected to main between May 2020 and March 2022, and now the only non-main article is Planck constant. The main article is already in both parents.
- Category:Visualization (graphic): nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Visualization (graphics) 13:30, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Probably also C2A.
- Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act: nominated at RM; New name: RAVE Act 14:03, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Secondary sources seem to discuss the law under the name of the original bill, not the one that was actually passed.
- Category:United States repealed legislation: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Repealed United States legislation 14:13, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Compromise between Category:United States legislation and the siblings in Category:Repealed legislation.
- Game Of Life And Death: nominated at RfD; Target: Conway's Game of Life (notified); notified Codingcat (talk · contribs) 20:39, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: An anonymous user at the redirect's talk page (Talk:Conway's_Game_of_Life#Game_Of_Life_And_Death) asked a question about this redirect, and David Eppstein (talk · contribs) suggested deletion. The history shows a short-lived microstub about a non-notable mobile app.
- Stopid: nominated at RfD; Target: Stupidity (notified); notified Tantamounts (talk · contribs) 20:48, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Misspelling that has had 0 pageviews in the last 90 days, compared to 1151 for the correctly spelled Stupid and 19815 for the target.
- Conway's game of life in reverse: nominated at RfD; Target: Conway's Game of Life (notified); notified R.e.b. (talk · contribs) 16:47, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Life is not a reversible cellular automaton, so this is sheer nonsense. Also, the article does not discuss this topic.
- User:Pfareryy/sandbox: nominated at MfD; notified Pfareryy (talk · contribs) 17:19, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Abandoned,essentially content-free userspace draft that duplicates the topic of 2017 Northern India riots. It was created by a user who has not edited since February 2018, and most of whose other contributions were creating hoaxes.
- User:Timmonaey/sandbox: nominated at MfD; notified Timmonaey (talk · contribs) 17:24, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Abandoned WP:FAKEARTICLE sandbox from July 2017 that seems to be an unattributed copy-paste of the contemporary revision of BDSM.
- Retraction (disambiguation): nominated at RM; New name: Retraction 05:04, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: After pageview analysis and search engine query, I'm convinced that there is likely no primary topic between Retractions in academic publishing, Retraction (topology), and other topics listed on the dab page. The redirects Retracted and Retractions should also point to, or have the same target as, the base title.
- List of Paris Hilton's My New BFF episodes: nominated at RfD; Target: Paris Hilton's My New BFF (season 1) (notified); notified JunkieSerialKiller (talk · contribs) 05:55, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This series has another list for season 2; no unified episode list exists. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 05:55, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
- Bromance (American TV series): nominated at AfD; notified Crowvirgo (talk · contribs) 15:32, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Only non-primary sources are interviews and announcements, some in tabloids, and I'm not convinced that meets WP:GNG. PRODded by TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs), who allegedly found no other usable sources in WP:BEFORE, but deprodded by Matt91486 (talk · contribs), who added two of the current four non-primary sources.
May 2022
- 011000100110100101101110011000010111001001111001: nominated at RfD; Target: Binary number (notified); notified Ricardodude (talk · contribs) 08:40, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: It's Binary in binary. It had 10001 pageviews in the past 1011010 days, compared to 100001011100101011 for the target. A similar redirect 01000010 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110010 01111001 was deleted in 11111011010.
- Henry's World: nominated at AfD; notified SesameFan1989 (talk · contribs) 06:24, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded by TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs) who claimed lack of notability, but subsequently deprodded by NemesisAT (talk · contribs) because the PRODder nominated too many articles in quick succession — 200, according to his count. But I have to agree with Hammer here — there are zero results about this TV show in Google News.
- Super Adventure Team: nominated at AfD; notified PLawrence99cx (talk · contribs) 07:04, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Short-lived TV series that never got much attention. Only source is primary, and Google News returned only a couple of passing mentions. One of 146 articles deprodded by NemesisAT due to concerns about mass-prodding.
- Secret, Strange & True: nominated at AfD; notified Grahambrunk (talk · contribs) 07:24, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: G4 TV show that lasted just under a year and returned zero hits in GNews. One of 146 articles deprodded by NemesisAT out of concern of rapid-fire nomination.
- Three (TV series): nominated at AfD; notified AdamDeanHall (talk · contribs) 07:31, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a difficult title to search, but there seem to be no obvious, relevant GNews results, and considering its very short run (<2 months) I'm convinced that it likely fails WP:GNG. Only source is a book which I cannot check. This is a 1998 TV series that aired on The WB; it has no relation to the 2012 CBS show also titled 3.
- Hot Pursuit (2006 TV series): nominated at AfD; notified Asulca593 (talk · contribs) 07:37, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: One of 146 articles deprodded due to rapid-fire nomination; the rest can be viewed at this userpage, along with various other extremely low-quality articles. Tagged as unsourced since 2017, but it has never had any real sourcing since the creation in 2006.
- Kurdish mastiff: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Kurdish Mastiff 22:18, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Other dog breeds seem to be capitalized, maybe this should as well.
- Anna Devane: nominated at AfD; notified Boygenius1411 (talk · contribs) 01:08, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Article is 100% overly-detailed plot summary and casting history, GNews entries are mostly tabloid-like material and recaps. Most references are primary or about the actress, Finola Hughes. Likely fails WP:GNG.
- Category:Fictional strength sportspeople: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional sportspeople; notified Omanyd (talk · contribs) 07:00, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only the subcategory Category:Fictional bodybuilders, which is already in category:bodybuilding so a dual upmerge is not needed.
- Category:Fictional female bodybuilders: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional bodybuilders; notified Dawkinsfan44 (talk · contribs) 07:01, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Per WP:SMALLCAT; the combined category would have 5 articles.
- Category:Fictional table tennis players: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional sportspeople; notified Atvica (talk · contribs) 07:02, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, contains only Forrest Gump (character).
- Category:Fictional Scottish Backhold practitioners: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional sport wrestlers; notified Atvica (talk · contribs) 07:05, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Per WP:SMALLCAT, only 1 article.
- Category:Fictional blade and dart-throwers: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fictional blade and dart throwers; notified Atvica (talk · contribs) 07:09, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The hyphen is awkward, but there is no article or real-world category with which we can uncontroversially compare.
- Category:Fictional Shōrin-ryū practitioners: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional karateka; notified Kcorilol (talk · contribs) 07:11, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, only 1 article.
- Category:Fictional Lerdrit practitioners: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional Asian martial arts practitioners; notified Kcorilol (talk · contribs) 07:11, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, only 1 article.
- Category:Fictional kalaripayattu practitioners: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional Asian martial arts practitioners; notified Kcorilol (talk · contribs) 07:13, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, only 1 article.
- Category:Fictional belly dancers: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional dancers; notified Atvica (talk · contribs) 07:14, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, only 1 article.
- Category:Fictional improvisational dancers: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional dancers; notified Samantha Ireland (talk · contribs) 07:15, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, only 1 article.
- Category:Fictional female samurai: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fictional samurai; notified Evojhcok (talk · contribs) 07:17, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, only 2 articles. Also dual upmerge to Category:Fictional female martial artists and Category:Fictional women soldiers and warriors.
- List of American television programs by debut date: nominated at AfD; notified Fresheneesz (talk · contribs) 21:27, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This list has over 5,000 entries, and despite being formatted as a plain list, is so long that I have trouble editing it. It is redundant to List of years in American television, has few references to verify claimed debut dates, and the 2020s section has not been adequately updated to include all notable new programs. No other country has an equivalent list.
- List of American television series by setting: nominated at AfD; notified Mothperson (talk · contribs) 21:55, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unsourced, indiscriminate, fancruft list without any references. It is woefully incomplete, in part because it does not include any works with extraterrestrial settings — I can also name a show set in a fictional Arizona town (Clarence) that is not in the list. Although I have not investigated WP:LISTN for any list of TV shows set in a specific real-world location, this combined list fails LISTN.
- Myx (Global): nominated at RM; New name: Myx (American TV channel) 23:15, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Although the channel has a near-worldwide broadcast area, Global is not a standard disambiguator for TV channels and networks, and is miscapitalized.
- Category:Gravitational interaction: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Kri (talk · contribs) 02:16, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary subcategory, synonymous with Category:Gravity, that includes only the main article, Gravity.
- Category:Nuclear force: nominated at CfDS (C2F); New name: Category:Strong interaction 02:18, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Category:Electromagnetic interaction: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Kri (talk · contribs) 02:19, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Synonymous subcategory that includes only the main article, Electromagnetism.
- Category:Strong interaction: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Quantum chromodynamics; notified Kri (talk · contribs) 02:22, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only the main article and a subcategory that is getting speedy merged with this one per C2F.
- Category:Weak interaction: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Kri (talk · contribs) 02:26, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only the main article and two subcategories which are incorrectly included — nuclear fission and nuclear fusion do not involve the weak interaction.
- Bureau of Sabotage: nominated at AfD; notified 65.26.199.222 (talk · contribs) 09:46, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Entirely plot summary and fails WP:GNG, was deprodded by a user who thinks it can be merged to The Tactful Saboteur. The deprodder added two merge tags, one to a nonexistent page, but did not open a merger discussion. I disagree, as there are no references.
- Island monkey: nominated at RfD; Target: List of ethnic slurs and epithets by ethnicity (notified); notified Modest Genius (talk · contribs) 10:24, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Monkey and porch monkey are mentioned in the article, but not island monkey.
- Spin up: nominated at AfD; notified 99.227.39.216 (talk · contribs) 03:32, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded by Zxcvbnm (talk · contribs), who noted the lack of sources that claime dthat it fails WP:GNG. Deproded by Spinningspark (talk · contribs), who claimed (without improving the article) that this is definitely a thing seen in numerous martial arts films and provided an external link about the technique. However, neither the source the deprodder provided nor the existing external link in the article seem to be RS, and my search engine results offer no further sources about the technique under this name.The disambiguation page Spin up (disambiguation) will need to be moved to the base title, even if this article is kept, since there is no primary topic.
- Spin-up: nominated at AfD; notified Yoooder (talk · contribs) 08:26, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded by Zxcvbnm (talk · contribs) on concerns that this is largely WP:DICDEF-level material and WP:OR, and fails WP:GNG. I have reason to believe that this is the case, but it was deprodded by Lurking shadow (talk · contribs), who asserted, without further justification, This isn't PROD material. Some content is also about specific products, failing WP:IINFO. Note that some sources also spell it spin up or spinup.The first source is a manual for a Western Digital product that mentions spin-up only in passing. The second is effectively an informative advertisement from Fujitsu, and is not WP:RS.Power-up in standby was proposed for merger in September 2014 by Petr Matas (talk · contribs), but no merge discussion was opened and the tag was removed in July 2017 by Klbrain (talk · contribs).
- Power-up in standby: nominated at AfD; notified Petr Matas (talk · contribs) 08:36, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:DICDEF. Most content is WP:OR or about a Western Digital product, and all current sources are from Western Digital manuals. I'm not fully convinced that it either meets or fails WP:GNG; the closest I could find to an encyclopedic RS is [3], which is a dictionary entry.MarcZ (talk · contribs) suggested in June 2009 that this page be merged to Spin-up because there are few links and it is only a feature of spin-up, but that article is also nominated for deletion.
- Anti-aging hormore therapies: nominated at RfD; Target: Life extension (notified); notified Jarble (talk · contribs) 09:40, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Misspelled redirect (hormore instead of hormone).
- Amoy dialect/Negative particles/simplified: nominated at RfD; Target: Amoy dialect (notified); notified A-cai (talk · contribs) 10:53, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded per WP:NOTDICT and then redirected, but it is not a plausible search term. The former contents already existed in the target at the time of creation, so attribution is not a problem.
- Category:Texts in unknown languages: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Daask (talk · contribs) 13:43, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Too similar in scope to Category:Manuscripts written in undeciphered writing systems and Category:Undeciphered historical codes and ciphers,the former of which already contains the sole article, Rohonc Codex.
- Before We Ruled the Earth: nominated at AfD; notified JangoFett101 (talk · contribs) 04:28, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded with notability concerns, but it had already been prodded in 2010 over unclear concerns about original research that likely regarded content that is no longer in the article. Only current source is IMDB, Allmovie has no reviews (Part 1, Part 2), and the miniseries is not even on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Digital Copyright Act: nominated at AfD; notified Frontman830 (talk · contribs) 04:43, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Bill that did not pass, and received no coverage beyond its introduction in the 117th United States Congress, i.e. failing WP:LASTING. Not to be confused with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which this bill sought to update.
- Content filtering - Spam: nominated at RfD; Target: Email filtering (notified); notified DudleyDoWrite (talk · contribs) 05:47, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Improper disambiguation from a redirect to Internet filter — we use parentheses for disambiguation.
- Peppercorn (legal): nominated at RM; New name: Peppercorn (law) 11:15, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: To match other disambiguations for legal terminology.
- Category:Group I semiconductors: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Semiconductor materials; notified Forbes72 (talk · contribs) 01:06, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, probably because these materials tend to have large band gaps.
- Food quality: nominated at AfD; notified Anthere (talk · contribs) 23:56, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded by An anonymous username, not my real name (talk · contribs) with rationale:
Endorsed by TenPoudHammer (talk · contribs), but deprodded by StellarNerd (talk · contribs), who asserted importance without further improvement. I agree that this might fail WP:DICDEF, but I am not confident about my opinion.Food quality is a very vague topic that belongs more in a dictionary than an encyclopedia. There is no information here that couldn't be included in a different article.
- Reason: PRODded by An anonymous username, not my real name (talk · contribs) with rationale:
- VSOP (planets): nominated at RM; New name: VSOP model 04:18, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Planets is a poor choice of disambiguation for this topic, since the subject is not a group of planets.
- The Bell Game: nominated at RM; New name: Bell Game 09:57, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Search engine results suggest that this is more commonly known without the initial definite article. The redirect currently at the move target is to an article which does not mention something by that name.
- Epsilon number: nominated at AfD; notified Patrick (talk · contribs) 03:22, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: From internet search, I'm not sure that Vacuum permittivity or Relative permittivity is called the "epsilon number"; almost all results are about Epsilon numbers (mathematics). However, Epsilon 0 would be a valid disambiguation page that would include only Vacuum permittivity and Epsilon numbers (mathematics). If deleted or moved, Epsilon numbers (mathematics) will be moved to the base title.
- List of banned films in the People's Republic of China: nominated at RM (technical); New name: List of films banned in China 08:30, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: To match other sub-lists of List of banned films.
- Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood: nominated at RM; New name: Fairplay (organization) 21:52, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Organization was recently renamed.
June 2022
- Cosmic entity (Marvel Comics): nominated at AfD; notified Mrph (talk · contribs) 05:07, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Like the related article Cosmic entity (DC Comics), this article consists entirely of WP:OR and does not prove that the topic meets WP:GNG. The lone source ia a Polygon op-ed that speaks of a "cosmic universe" in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but not of cosmic entities. The associated list, which is also included in this AfD, seems to be more coherent than its DC counterpart, but is based solely on primary sources.
- Category:Chloride: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Chlorides; notified Brainist (talk · contribs) 04:33, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only the main article and Category:Chloride channels, and is overlapping in scope with the proposed merge target.
- Category:Bobsledders killed while racing: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Bobsledders who died while racing 06:43, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: These people were not "killed" by someone else. Per precedent at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 February 4#Category:Sports competitors killed in competition.
- Category:Cyclists killed while racing: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Cyclists who died while racing 06:45, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: These people were not "killed" by someone else. Per precedent at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 February 4#Category:Sports competitors killed in competition.
- Category:Jockeys killed while racing: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Jockeys who died while racing 06:45, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: These people were not "killed" by someone else. Per precedent at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 February 4#Category:Sports competitors killed in competition.
- Category:Motorboat racers killed while racing: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Motorboat racers who died while racing 06:46, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: These people were not "killed" by someone else. Per precedent at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 February 4#Category:Sports competitors killed in competition.
- Category:Motorcycle racers killed while racing: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Motorcycle racers who died while racing 06:46, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: These people were not "killed" by someone else. Per precedent at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 February 4#Category:Sports competitors killed in competition.
- Category:Racing drivers killed while racing: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Racing drivers who died while racing 06:47, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: These people were not "killed" by someone else. Per precedent at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2022 February 4#Category:Sports competitors killed in competition.
- Category:Individual male horses: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified SMcCandlish (talk · contribs) 06:59, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Why do males get a distinct category while females do not? Either way, this category should ideally include about half of all articles about individual horses, unless our notorious gender bias also affects our coverage on individual non-human animals.
- List of cosmic entities in DC Comics: nominated at AfD; notified Marvelvsdc (talk · contribs) 23:41, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The associated article, Cosmic entity (DC Comics), will almost certainly be deleted at its AfD, and this list has exactly the same problems as the main article — namely, it is pure WP:OR without any references, has unclear inclusion criteria, and fails WP:LISTN — except that unlike the embedded list at the main article, it includes additional characters who are not significant enough for inclusion in the more general lists of DC Comics characters. I'm not sure that the definition stated in the lead is the same as in the other list, and I can once again make the examples of Bat-Mite and Starro I gave in the other AfD. At the talk page, there's a discussion with similar concerns from 2005–2006 that I wish to embed here.During the last AfD in 2020, users argued for trimming the non-notable entries, despite that the trimmed article would be exactly the same as the embedded list at the main article. The contents haven't changed one bit since then.
- List of fictional antiheroes: nominated at AfD; notified Treybien (talk · contribs) 00:07, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The antihero is obviously a notable topic, but I'm not convinced that a list of them is notable in the academic sense. The contents are mostly rolling up listicles and similar non-RS, or sources that label specific characters in passing as antiheroes.Aside from that, this 2008 CfD, along with prior CfDs under different titles, established that the label of an antihero is too broad and subjective for a category, so it is probably also too subjective for a list (WP:SALAT). In light of this, the quality of the references, the tendency to attract unsourced entries, and the removal of sourced entries that editors disagree with, are unsurprising.
- File:Curium target livermorium.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Double sharp (talk · contribs) 22:51, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-free image that doesn't really add anything to the text, and is also low quality. It is already clear from the text that a curium-248 target was used in the initial discovery of livermorium, and nothing that would need an image to be represented.
- Hydrogen water: nominated at AfD; notified MrX (talk · contribs) 01:38, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: We at FTN recently analyzed the article, which is somewhat unfocused and used mainly pro-fringe sources for medical content, and concluded that the rest should be deleted. The remaining sources are all WP:MEDPRIMARY and possibly WP:PROFRINGE, and some of them are not about hydrogen administered in aqueous solution, but rather on purported therapeutic uses of hydrogen in general.
- Category:DC Comics cosmic entities: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Halogene~enwiki (talk · contribs) 21:47, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cosmic entity (DC Comics) was recently closed as delete, and since there were concerns about the label being purely WP:OR without a clear definition, I am also nominating this category for deletion.
- Empire Air Training Scheme: nominated at RfD; Target: Australia and the Empire Air Training Scheme (notified); notified Grant65 (talk · contribs) 02:11, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Should this be retargeted to British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, of which this was an alternative name?
- Daniel Pearce: nominated at RM; New name: Daniel Pearce (musician, born 1978) 02:24, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not sure that this is the primary topic over Eats Everything, which has similar pageviews. The disambiguation page created would also include Daniel Pearce (footballer) and Daniel Pearce (chartered surveyor), which receive far fewer pageviews. (Pageview comparison for the four Daniel Pearces.) Search results are dominated by non-notable people with the same name. The disambiguation is difficult to choose, since Eats Everything is also an English musician.
- List of people on the postage stamps of the Dominican Republic: nominated at AfD; notified Stan Shebs (talk · contribs) 02:55, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Yet another non-notable list of people on postage stamps. Not going through PROD since this has non-inline sources and Johnpacklambert (talk · contribs) made some minor edits recently, but thosr references are two well-known stamp catalogs (Scott catalogue and Stanley Gibbons catalogue) and have no bearing on WP:LISTN.
- Mr. Beast: nominated at RfD; Target: Mr Beast (notified); notified Keith D (talk · contribs) 03:52, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: At least two editors, 71.237.21.218 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and Praxidicae (talk · contribs), disagree on the proper target of this redirect. The IP wants to retarget this to the YouTuber MrBeast, who receives vastly more pageviews than the album Mr Beast. It is also possible that the correct solution is to disambiguate.
- Category:Marvel Comics cosmic entities: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Paul A (talk · contribs) 22:46, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cosmic entity (Marvel Comics) was recently closed as delete, and since there were concerns about the label being purely WP:OR without a clear definition, I am also nominating this category for deletion.
- QuickWin: nominated at AfD; notified Modster (talk · contribs) 19:04, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Undid a presumptive bad-faith PROD nomination by LTA, per Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Software_projects_crosswiki_LTA, but I have reason to believe that this is genuinely non-notable. This purportedly obsolete software has no non-primary sources, and includes a line about an unrelated project with the same name.
- XAMLPad: nominated at AfD; notified Hilton.Giesenow (talk · contribs) 19:05, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Undid a presumptive bad-faith PROD nomination by LTA, per Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Software_projects_crosswiki_LTA, but I have reason to believe that this is genuinely non-notable. My own WP:BEFORE returned no usable secondary sources.
- Template:Timeline: nominated at RM; New name: Template:Navbox timeline 19:33, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This is not the only or main timeline template; there are several other generic templates for different kinds of timeline for use in different context, such as Template:Sidebar timeline to create a sidebar; this one creates a navbox.
- Rui Costa (musician): nominated at AfD; notified Mistico (talk · contribs) 20:02, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not sure that this member of Silence 4 is independently notable. This BLP has no references, and the external link (supposedly an announcement of Costa leaving the band) is dead. I have already corrected the title from an unnecessarily fine band-based disambiguation, since the other Rui Costas are not musicians.
- Epsilon number: nominated at RM; New name: Epsilon zero 13:29, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Epsilon number, there is no source that uses the term epsilon number for anything except Epsilon numbers (mathematics), but vacuum permittivity and the first epsilon number are both called epsilon zero. Epsilon numbers (mathematics) will be moved to this title if this page is moved.
- List of minor Mulliner characters: nominated at AfD; notified Komusou (talk · contribs) 13:46, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: PRODded by Jontesta (talk · contribs) with the following rationale, and endorsed by TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs), but deprodded without explanation by DGG (talk · contribs).
Completely unsourced. WP:BEFORE shows no reliable third-party sources to establish notability for this topic. Almost all entries are simply a name and a profession. They have all been tagged for expansion since 2008 and safe to say that expansion isn't coming.
- Reason: PRODded by Jontesta (talk · contribs) with the following rationale, and endorsed by TenPoundHammer (talk · contribs), but deprodded without explanation by DGG (talk · contribs).
- Diphosphene (functional group): nominated at RM; New name: Diphosphenes 14:21, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Per the updated WP:CHEMGROUP guideline: For groups of compounds named after a simple parent compound, articles about the group should be located at the plural of the parent compound name[.]
- Trinity (story arc): nominated at AfD; notified Waza (talk · contribs) 11:28, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This article came up at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Triarch as a potential redirect target, but several users (and myself) have noted that this DC Comics story arc fails WP:GNG. The content is solely a short plot summary and a list of issues.
- Draft:Hamek War: nominated at MfD; notified Tonyasad2004 (talk · contribs) 11:41, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Was suspected to be a hoax by Nythar (talk · contribs), but they removed their own {{db-hoax}} tag without further comment. The draft is unsourced and with vague timeframe, and I found zero search engine results that mention something called Hamek in relation to Najmadin Shukr Rauf.
- Magonia (mythology): nominated at RM; New name: Magonia 00:07, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Search engine results for Magonia point to the mythological place, or to various other works which do not have Wikipedia articles, particualrly the novel by Maria Dahvana Headley. This page receives the vast majority of the pageviews compared to the genus Magonia (plant). The disambiguation page at the base title should not be deleted, since the Headley book is a valid entry as well.
- Tony Cornhole: nominated at RfD; Target: Tony Kornheiser (notified); notified FitzColinGerald (talk · contribs) 11:32, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find any significant usage related to this person, other than as an insult. Probably why the entry
.*corn[- ]?hole
(titles ending with cornhole) is on the title blacklist.
- Reason: I can't find any significant usage related to this person, other than as an insult. Probably why the entry
- Category:Tetraxetans: nominated at CfDS (C2E); New name: Category:DOTA (chelator) derivatives 20:38, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Match main article
- Zirconium nitrate: nominated at RM; New name: Zirconium(IV) nitrate 20:51, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: While I have not checked whether there are any other nitrates of zirconium, zirconium also has several lower oxidation states, and most other inorganic zirconium(IV) compounds have the oxidation state in the title.
- KDP (disambiguation): nominated at RM; New name: KDP 21:10, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not convinced that there is a primary topic. In particular, Keurig Dr Pepper and Communist Party of Germany receive more pageviews than Kurdistan Democratic Party, where KDP currently redirects, and search engine results are a mixture of Kappa Delta Pi, Kindle Direct Publishing, and non-notable topics.
- Shep Unplugged: nominated at RfD; Target: Shep Messing (notified); notified MageeFan7 (talk · contribs) 01:49, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: During Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shep Unplugged, the nominator repeatedly rebutted comments by other users because none of the sources provided are simultaneously reliable and support the name of the talk show. I was likewise unable to confirm this title.
- Category:Cod complexes: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Cyclooctadiene complexes 15:15, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Expand abbreviation
- Jason Marnocha: nominated at RfD; Target: Meta Runner (notified); notified Childishbeat (talk · contribs) 22:43, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This actor has other roles in notable works, such as Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy.
- Anthony Sardinha: nominated at RfD; Target: Meta Runner (notified); notified Childishbeat (talk · contribs) 22:44, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This actor has other roles in notable works, such as Epithet Erased.
- Zee Living: nominated at AfD; notified Rajesultanpur (talk · contribs) 23:10, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can verify that this channel exists, but I don't see much evidence that it is notable. Google News turns up empty, and ProQuest results are primarily announcements such as [4], which are sometimes linked to the channel Living Foodz (now Zee Zest).
- Graphite-like ZnO nanostructures: nominated at RM; New name: Graphite-like zinc oxide nanostructure 01:41, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Because MOS:ACROTITLE implies that the chemical formula be expanded. Also, I'm not sure if WP:PLURAL or WP:sINGULAR applies here.
- Compounds of aluminium: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Aluminium compounds 01:57, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: To match Category:Aluminium compounds and the other items in Category:Chemical compounds by element. There was an RM about this, but I can't remember which talk page hosted it.
- Category:Diene complexes: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Cyclooctadiene complexes; notified Smokefoot (talk · contribs) 19:53, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: As all but two of these comounds has 1,5-cyclooctadiene as a ligand.
- Draft:Lee Jun-seok (police): nominated at MfD; notified 자투라2005 (talk · contribs) 02:12, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Copy of Seolhwa–Myeonggok station under an implausible title.
- Tetramethylammonium auride: nominated at RfD; Target: Caesium auride (notified); notified Czeror (talk · contribs) 04:08, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I don't think it is a good idea to link to a different compound like this.
- La Bagarre: nominated at RfD; Target: Trouble (Elvis Presley song) (notified); notified Am86 (talk · contribs) 19:18, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't find any significant connection between this title and its target, even when specifying that results also mention Elvis. Target section removed in September 2021 due to apparent lack of notability. Still mentioned at Amanda Lear discography.
July 2022
- Violence in television: nominated at RfD; Target: Graphic violence (notified); notified DadaNeem (talk · contribs) 11:37, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Too specific, not all television violence is graphic.
- Violence in movies: nominated at RfD; Target: Graphic violence (notified); notified Kku (talk · contribs) 11:38, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Too specific, not all film violence is graphic.
- Violence in film: nominated at RfD; Target: Combat in film (notified); notified Dbachmann (talk · contribs) 11:39, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The target is different from the subject of the redirect, and should be the same as Violence in movies below.
- Air Force Integrated Residential Housing, Mazandaran: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 04:18, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Mass-created stub by Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs). PRODded by VersaceSpace (talk · contribs) who asserted that the designation as a "village" and a "military installation" is WP:OR, but I think we will need a WP:BEFORE check to confirm or disconfirm these claims, per WP:NGEO.
- Category:Undecidable conjectures: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified SoSivr (talk · contribs) 12:57, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Redundant to Category:Independence results, which already includes both Continuum hypothesis and the target of Borel conjecture (set theory).
- Alberger process: nominated at AfD; notified 68.110.171.226 (talk · contribs) 19:34, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Previous AfD was speedy closed due to an unclear rationale, an outcome endorsed at DRV with no prejudice for a renomination or merger discussion.I'm not sure from WP:BEFORE that this topic is notable enough even for a merger. Most results are mirrors of Wikipedia, primary, or non-RS, except for Encyclopedia Britannica.
- Yesso Amalfi: nominated at RfD; Target: Yeso Amalfi (notified); notified King of the North East (talk · contribs) 09:20, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Couldn't find attestment to this spelling.
- Yesso: nominated at RfD; Target: Ainu people (notified); notified Danny (talk · contribs) 09:22, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't find anything called Yesso in direct connection to the Ainu — search indicates it is a historical name for Hokkaido, among various other uses. Should I retarget to that page, or disambiguate between Hokkaido and Diego Yesso?
- Category:Tetrazines: nominated at CfDS (C2F); New name: Category:Azines 22:28, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only the main article, Tetrazine.
- Transrational: nominated at AfD; notified MaxCoscia (talk · contribs) 01:48, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Prodded twice, both times because it is wholly redundant to Precognition. As it stands, it is largely a WP:DICDEF. 3 of the 6 references are by the inventor of the term, Ref. 5 is likely WP:PROFRINGE and may fail WP:SYNTH, and Ref. 6 is another Wikipedia article (Zaum) that uses the term, but almost certainly in a different meaning than this article. Not sure about Ref. 3, which is a book about dreams by Vine Deloria Jr., but I suspect that it is also profringe because he also wrote Red Earth, White Lies.
- Stone laterite Borneo: nominated at RfD; Target: Laterite (notified); notified Muhamad Nahrowi (talk · contribs) 07:17, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
- Harry Grammer: nominated at AfD; notified Leesada (talk · contribs) 11:31, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Cannot find evidence that this person meets WP:GNG, or that the honors and awards (CNN Heroes, Obama Foundation Fellow) are significant. The closest I found was [5], which is written like a press release. Only sources are their organization, New Earth, and the award providers. I have not attempted to determine notability of New Earth. Created by a paid SPA Leesada (talk · contribs) with unsourced and promotional content, which has since been removed, and a different SPA Izziyait (talk · contribs) later attempted to add more unsourced content that closely matches that which was removed.
- Template:Summer Series: nominated at TfD; notified Topbanter17 (talk · contribs) 12:09, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Main article and all associated articles deleted by PROD, only remaining blue links are all educational institutions that happen to have teams in this non-notable league.
- Aghbolagh-e Khaled: nominated at AfD; notified Passportguy (talk · contribs) 22:31, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Mass-created by Passportguy (talk · contribs) in 2009 based on an unreliable database https://tageo.com. There is something at the specified coordinates, but the fact that this was not overwritten or redirected by Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) when he mass-created Iranian village stubs is suspect. Search engine results for fa:آق بلاغ خالد returned only mirrors of the Farsi translation of this article.
- Yusefabad, Ardabil: nominated at AfD; notified Passportguy (talk · contribs) 23:02, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Mass-created by Passportguy (talk · contribs) in 2009 based on an unreliable database https://tageo.com. There is something at the specified coordinates, but they are actually in East Azerbaijan Province, and the fact that this was not overwritten or redirected by Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) when he mass-created Iranian village stubs is suspect. Neither of the Yusefabad stubs created by Carlossuarez46 matches this place.
- Doug Karr: nominated at AfD; notified Matzonyc (talk · contribs) 19:41, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unreferenced BLP who fails WP:GNG, created by a promotional SPA who edited solely on this topic. All of his films either do not have articles or are at AfD for the same reason.
- Apeiron (physics journal): nominated at RfD; Target: Apeiron (notified); notified Headbomb (talk · contribs) 20:03, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Meant to be a redirect to Apeiron (disambiguation), which does not mention it. No other article seems to discuss this journal.
- File:National Justice Party.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified RKT7789 (talk · contribs) 05:39, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Most likely {{PD-logo}}. The logo is about an organization based in the United States.
- Category:Filmed landslides: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified PaulBHartzog (talk · contribs) 15:30, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Mose modern incidents are filmed, not a defining characteristic.
- Category:Filmed police brutality: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Police brutality; notified Fgnievinski (talk · contribs) 15:31, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Most modern incidents are filmed, not a defining characteristic.
- Category:Dissolution of Syria: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Stefanomione (talk · contribs) 09:51, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Bullshit category — in fact, almost qualifies for G3. Syria has not been dissolved, and the contents are mostly about the Syrian civil war with the exception of Category:Separatism in Syria.
- Chah-e Bid, Rudbar-e Jonubi: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 18:13, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Mass-created Iran geostub by User:Carlossuarez46. Name is of a well, but there is something at the provided coordinates that could be a village.

- Chah-e Allahdad: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 18:33, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Mass-created Iran geostub by User:Carlossuarez46. Name is of a well, but there is something at the provided coordinates that could be a village. I removed unsourced content about an alleged murder that contained dubious information (
The prime suspect behind the bodies is Wanye Al-ballshar[...] [who] uncovered the bodies
;the population has declined by 2 million"
) and was accompanied by an image generated by This Person Does Not Exist.

- Chah-e Chalehi: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 18:52, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Mass-created Iran geostub by User:Carlossuarez46. Name is of a well, and there is no community at the given coordinates. PRODded, but quickly deprodded because I added the wrong rationale.
- Chah-e Reza, Kerman: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 18:58, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Mass-created Iran geostub by User:Carlossuarez46. Name is of a well, and I'm not sure that the given coordinates are for a village.
- Chah Esmail, Hormozgan: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Chah Esmail 21:37, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Disambiguation without a base title
- Chah Mir, Hormozgan: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Chah Mir 21:40, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

- Chah Muri, Fars: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Chah Muri 21:42, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

- Chah Shur-e Olya, Kerman: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Chah Shur-e Olya 21:46, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Disambiguation without a base title. Attempted G14 at the move target resulted in redirect to here.
- Chah-e Akrami: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 22:21, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Mass-created Iran geostub by User:Carlossuarez46. The name contains chah (چاه, well), and the geocoordinates go to a subdivision of Yazd called Akramiyeh (Persian: اکرمیه). Not sure if this subdivision meets WP:NGEO.
- N (math): nominated at RfD; Target: Natural number (notified); notified StrexcorpEmployee (talk · contribs) 03:57, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Cereal eating by humans: nominated at RfD; Target: Cereal (notified); notified StrexcorpEmployee (talk · contribs) 04:01, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Another ridiculous redirect created by StrexcorpEmployee (talk · contribs) based on the GPT2 subreddit [7].
- Touching oneself: nominated at RfD; Target: Masturbation (notified); notified StrexcorpEmployee (talk · contribs) 04:06, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Excessively vague redirect created by a user with several problematic redirects. However, this one does not appear to be derived from the GPT2 reddit.
- Vacuous water: nominated at RfD; Target: Dry water (notified); notified StrexcorpEmployee (talk · contribs) 15:28, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Another nonsensical StrexcorpEmployee (talk · contribs) redirect based on a GPT2 subreddit.
- Smiledog.jpg: nominated at RfD; Target: List of creepypastas (notified); notified Carbrera (talk · contribs) 19:57, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: No longer mentioned in the target, likely because the associated section was deleted.
- Hillary Clintom: nominated at RfD; Target: Hillary Clinton (notified); notified StrexcorpEmployee (talk · contribs) 20:19, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Misspelling with only 25 pageviews since creation on 18 April 2022 and minimal trace online.
- Category:Bengali-language newspapers published in the United States: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Non-English-language newspapers published in the United States; notified Tanbircdq (talk · contribs) 20:30, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: One of several 1-page subcategories of the listed merge target; I will bulk nominate all of them if this one closes as merge. Should also be merged to Category:Bengali-language newspapers.
- New-York Courrier: nominated at RfD; Target: New York Courier and Enquirer (notified); notified StrexcorpEmployee (talk · contribs) 20:33, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Yet another StrexcorpEmployee (talk · contribs) redirect based on a post in the GPT2 subreddit. Can't find any evidence from plain search that this spelling was ever used in English, but the ProQuest results are a bit less clear and may be about a different, French-language newspaper not covered in enwiki.

- Isar, Joghatai: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 01:22, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Mass-created article by User:Carlossuarez46 based on unreliable databases; alternative name "Chah-e Amiq Shomareh-ye Do Zurzamand" of this putative village is of a well. Apparently deprodded by the prodder for no apparent reason.
- Chah Bardi, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 01:31, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason:
The image on the article that supposedly represents the article subject.

- Herisht: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 03:15, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: :(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL):(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)Mass-created article by Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) about a place misidentified as a village, to which the user Rezamihandoostdar (talk · contribs) added unsourced content in 2020 about its supposed significance in Zoroastrianism. I can verify that there is a temple near Ardakan that is called Harisht or Herisht in English, among other names, but as most of these sites are self-published or travel sites, I am not 100% confident that the site meets WP:GNG. Note that Harisht in the search engine also returns matches for people with this name.
- Category:Global warming mass media: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Climate change mass media 22:53, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: And article Climate change in popular culture.
- Bonkuy: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 00:53, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The word bonkuy (Persian: بانک) means bank in Farsi, so it is highly likely that these Carlossuarez46-created geostubs are actually banks and not villages. The dab page itself is also entirely WP:PTM, suggesting that Carlos was also very loppy in creating the Iran placename dabs.

- Reason: The word bonkuy (Persian: بانک) means bank in Farsi, so it is highly likely that these Carlossuarez46-created geostubs are actually banks and not villages. The dab page itself is also entirely WP:PTM, suggesting that Carlos was also very loppy in creating the Iran placename dabs.
- Category:School Boy Records albums: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Schoolboy Records albums 12:51, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Some secondary sources disagree on the spelling, but the main article is at Schoolboy Records; see also Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_August_6#Category:School_Boy_Records_singles.
- Category:School Boy Records artists: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Schoolboy Records artists 12:52, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Some secondary sources disagree on the spelling, but the main article is at Schoolboy Records; see also Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2022_August_6#Category:School_Boy_Records_singles.
- Category:School Boy Records: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Schoolboy Records 01:34, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
- Category:Geringian: nominated at CfDS (C2F); New name: Category:Arikareean 02:48, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
- Category:Set families: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Families of sets; notified Charles Matthews (talk · contribs) 01:14, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: To match the main article, Family of sets. The majority of contents are of a set category.
- Chah-e Shirin, Dezful: nominated at AfD; notified Moondragon21 (talk · contribs) 19:34, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously deleted by PROD because it has the name of a well (چه, or chah, means well in Persian). The new source in this version by a different user does not help us, as it is a database search for the 2015 Iranian census, and this place name failed WP:V.
- Jorge Alberto Rodriguez: nominated at AfD; notified Novemberjazz (talk · contribs) 15:49, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This page was nominated for PROD by Let'srun (talk · contribs) using an incorrect procedure, and then deprodded without comment by Snickers2686 (talk · contribs). The rationale was:
Person is not notable and is no longer a nominee after the seat [at the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York] he was nominated to was nullified by the previous seatholder, David Hurd, withdrawing his senior status.
- Reason: This page was nominated for PROD by Let'srun (talk · contribs) using an incorrect procedure, and then deprodded without comment by Snickers2686 (talk · contribs). The rationale was:
- Template:Da-delete1: nominated at RfD; Target: File:Information.svg (notified); notified Denimadept (talk · contribs) 17:11, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Cross-namespace redirect, likely a botched attempt to redirect to Template:Uw-delete1. See also Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2015_November_3#Template:Da-delete1.
- Template:Colored list: nominated at TfD; notified Ahecht (talk · contribs) 02:22, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Useless template that violates MOS:COLOR and is used only in College of Science, University of Tehran, Housing Foundation of Islamic Revolution, User:Eddy UwU/sandbox, Template:HTML lists, and Template:Medical cases chart/doc.
- Rural District of Iran: nominated at RfD; Target: Administrative divisions of Iran (notified); notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 02:34, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: These redirects should point to the same article.
- Rural Districts of Iran: nominated at RfD; Target: Dehestan (administrative division) 02:35, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Combining with below...
- Muzi Koti Park: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 11:47, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The word park (پارک) means park in Persian, as seen in actual park names such as پارک شهر, putting in doubt whether these pages created by Carlossuarez46 are actually villages.
{{collapse top|All 6 Carlossuarez46 place names containing پارک or پارك in the unromanized Persian}}*Muzi Koti Park (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (موزي كتي پارك)*Parak-e Bashir (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (پارک بشیر)*Parak-e Hutan (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (پارک هوتان)*Parak-e Morad (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (پارک مراد)*Parak-e Sheykhan (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (پارك شيخان)*Parkbarm (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (پارك برم){{collapse bottom}}
- Reason: The word park (پارک) means park in Persian, as seen in actual park names such as پارک شهر, putting in doubt whether these pages created by Carlossuarez46 are actually villages.
- Carlos Hank González (businessman): nominated at RM; New name: Carlos Hank González (born 1971) 12:42, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Because the Carlos Hank González at the base title was also a Mexican businessman, we cannot disambiguate by country or by occupation. If the other page is moved from the base title, it would then go to Carlos Hank González (born 1927).
- User:Eddy UwU/sandbox: nominated at MfD; notified Eddy UwU (talk · contribs) 15:26, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Test page includes borderline fictional content, and the user has no edits to any other page except for their own userpage.
- Ab Bandan: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 22:48, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: All three items on this dab page are WP:PTM: Ab Bandan Kash, Ab Bandan Nonush, and Ab Bandan Sar. Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) created a very large number of Iran placename dabs like this one, many containing WP:PTM; this is just a pilot for the alphabetically earliest one that I found. I have not attempted to verify any of the individual pages under this dab.
- Abassia: nominated at AfD; notified Opera hat (talk · contribs) 23:25, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Is this a valid DAB page, or just cobbling together one entry each of three similar words?
- Abdol Khakhi: nominated at AfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 23:58, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This WP:PTM case is a bit trickier. Several of the Carlossuarez46 place name dabs include two nearby place names differing only in the adjectives olya (عليا) and sofla (سفلي), which respectively mean upper and lower in Arabic; in this case, Abdol Khakhi-ye Olya and Abdol Khakhi-ye Sofla in Salas-e Babajani County.
- Template:SPI: nominated at TfD; notified Mayalld (talk · contribs) 00:23, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Mostly unused template without documentation or categories that contains only a header and an SPI page transclusion function.
- Thái Ngọc: nominated at AfD; notified The monkeyhate (talk · contribs) 00:29, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Person who is notable only due to a scientifically unverified rumor that he can survive without sleep. Deprodded in 2010 by a sock of Azviz (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · logs · block log · arb · rfc · lta · SPI · cuwiki), but then PROD restored this week by Drmies (talk · contribs) on the argument that the deprod was bad faith; the original rationale was:
This is a rumour, and as far as I can tell there are no credible sources - this claim is based on interviews with Thai Ngoc by two minor Vietnamese media outlets, and has not been scientifically verified. Thai Ngoc is not notable for any other reason. Therefore, I propose that this article be deleted unless a sufficiently believable source can be cited.
— User:121.73.78.69
- Reason: Person who is notable only due to a scientifically unverified rumor that he can survive without sleep. Deprodded in 2010 by a sock of Azviz (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · logs · block log · arb · rfc · lta · SPI · cuwiki), but then PROD restored this week by Drmies (talk · contribs) on the argument that the deprod was bad faith; the original rationale was:
- Hub City Writers Project: nominated at AfD; notified Bteter (talk · contribs) 00:37, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Deprodded in 2010 by a sockpuppet of Azviz (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · logs · block log · arb · rfc · lta · SPI · cuwiki); only primary sources and 1 press release for Hub City Press found online.
- Chah-e Sangi: nominated at AfD 18:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Mass-created article by User:Carlossuarez46 based on unreliable databases; name of this putative village is of a well. Incorrectly deprodded, since the prior AfD was for a disambiguation page with 1 entry.
- XXXIII century: nominated at RfD; Target: Timeline of the far future (notified); notified Ignatus (talk · contribs) 21:22, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: There are 572 redirects to Timeline of the far future, at time of writing, but this is the only one to use Roman numerals, which is not customary for centuries. Originally targeted 33rd century before that page was merged to 4th millennium, which in turn got merged to the current target.
- 4570s: nominated at RfD; Target: 4570 (notified); notified Voortle (talk · contribs) 21:41, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm not sure that this decade should be pointing to a disambiguation page which includes only two things numbered 4570, and 5th millennium which redirects to Timeline of the far future. See below also the 236 decade redirects to the latter page.
- Draft:Year 1 kilo: nominated at RfD; Target: AD 1000 (notified); notified Jc2105 (talk · contribs) 21:47, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Implausible search term in draft space with no history as a draft page.
- Draft:5000 (year): nominated at RfD; Target: Timeline of the far future (notified); notified Jc2105 (talk · contribs) 21:48, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Implausible search term in draft space with no history as a draft page.
- Natural Area Code: nominated at AfD 08:06, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I was unable to find significant coverage of this geographic coordinate system; most results are mirrors of Wikipedia or the organization who created the system. The only source is primary, after I removed WP:OR regarding the intellectual property claims on this algorithm.
- PeaBrainC/Hans Gustav Wilhelm Steinert: nominated at RfD; Target: Hans Gustav Wilhelm Steinert (notified); notified PeaBrainC (talk · contribs) 16:22, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Likely an error created by the content translation tool. PeaBrainC (talk · contribs) is the user who created the article using this tool.
- File:Twinsun.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD 01:32, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unused with no forseeable use; the image is an original representation of a setting in Little Big Adventure. Was used on Binary stars in fiction, along with several other similarly unencyclopedic images, before that page was cleared and redirected by TompaDompa (talk · contribs).
September 2022
- Buy More: nominated at AfD; notified DurandalsFate (talk · contribs) 13:50, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a difficult name to search, but the topic seems to fail WP:GNG. Article is entirely in-universe plot summary.
- Category:Fiction about astronomical locations: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fiction about astronomical objects; notified Kgf0 (talk · contribs) 16:30, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: To match the real-world Category:Astronomical objects; space stations are not currently in the category.
- Espresso crema effect: nominated at AfD; notified Xenolithor (talk · contribs) 18:56, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG, and tagged for notability since 2011 — the only usage in Google Scholar are Tschegg (2009) and a passing mention in another article which references Tschegg; the other reference does not mention this topic. Was redirected (inappropriately) in 2009 to Espresso by Materialscientist (talk · contribs).
- Category:Birding and birdwatching: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Birdwatching 22:28, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Is synonym.
- Category:Swedish birdwatchers: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Birdwatchers; notified Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk · contribs) 22:32, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, parent is too small to diffuse by country.
- Noitaton hsilop: nominated at RfD; Target: Polish notation (notified); notified Matthiaspaul (talk · contribs) 02:59, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Previously deleted per G7 following the March 2020 RfD. New redirect does not resolve concerns raised last time. No useful results on the Internet.
- ∑:3: nominated at RfD; Target: Emoticon (notified); notified Renamed user 8d033617698d8cef (talk · contribs) 03:06, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not mentioned in target. Note that the initial character is a summation symbol and not a capital sigma (Σ).
- GRSSK: nominated at RfD; Target: Greek (TV series) (notified); notified Eubot (talk · contribs) 18:13, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Erroneous Eubot creation based on a stylization. Only 7 pageviews in the last 90 days, compared to 89 for the stylized title GRΣΣK and 39920 for the target.
- Grssk: nominated at RfD; Target: Greek (TV series) (notified); notified THE IMPERIOUS DORK (talk · contribs) 18:14, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Same as below, except that this was not created by Eubot. Only 10 pageviews in the last 90 days, compared to 89 for the stylized title GRΣΣK and 39920 for the target.
- My Big Fat GRSSK Wedding: nominated at RfD; Target: My Big Fat Greek Wedding (notified); notified THE IMPERIOUS DORK (talk · contribs) 18:19, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Latinized redirect of the stylization "My Big Fat GRΣΣK Wedding". There is no equivalent redirect containing the capital sigma — GRΣΣK mentioned below is the only one of its kind on Wikipedia — and this redirect mixes sentence case and title case in a way that the film does not. Only 1 pageview in the last 90 days, compared to 152550 for the target.
- Category:Mosques survived from tsunami: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Si Gam (talk · contribs) 04:34, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I find it odd that we have a 2-page category for two buildings of a particular kind, both in Indonesia, that were not destroyed in a tsunami. We don't even have any categories for buildings that were destroyed by tsunamis.
- List of swimming pools in Hungary: nominated at AfD; notified Kov 93 (talk · contribs) 06:23, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not enough entries to justify a standalone list. There are exactly two entries on this list: Alfréd Hajós National Swimming Stadium and Danube Arena. And the only other article in Category:Swimming venues in Hungary is Debrecen Swimming Pool Complex.
- Apeiron (philosophy journal): nominated at RM (technical); New name: Apeiron (journal) 16:10, 11 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessarily specific disambiguation
- Category:Theories of gravitation: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Theories of gravity 04:11, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: for article Gravity; also C2C, per Category:Gravity.
- Category:Persecution of Bahá'ís: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Persecution of Baháʼís 17:12, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The proper spelling on Wikipedia the curly apostrophe (ʼ).
- MTV Presents: The Next Generation Xbox Revealed: nominated at RfD; Target: Xbox 360 (notified); notified Chill Pill Bill (talk · contribs) 08:57, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not mentioned in article
- Xbox Two: nominated at RfD; Target: Xbox 360 (notified); notified IVORK (talk · contribs) 08:58, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Should this page be returned to its longstanding target Xbox Series X and Series S, or kept because the 360 was called Xbox 2 in development?
- Category:Birding and birdwatching: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Birdwatching; notified Jengod (talk · contribs) 02:37, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: It is necessary to rename it to match the main article, Birdwatching. However, it is unclear which term should be used in Wikipedia articles; the annual subcat is Category:Birding and ornithology by year, while Category:Birdwatching sites. I have not ruled out if it is the main article which should be renamed, or if I should bundle this with the entire tree to enforce consistency.
- Job scam: nominated at RfD; Target: Confidence trick (notified); notified Mar4d (talk · contribs) 05:38, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- People Search: nominated at RfD; Target: Search engine (notified); notified Heavyequipment4u (talk · contribs) 07:44, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not mentioned at target. Previous content was a poorly written duplicate article that included copyvios and spam. Only other creation by the creator Heavyequipment4u (talk · contribs) was a promotional userpage.
- People finder: nominated at RfD; Target: Google Person Finder (notified); notified Wikidemon (talk · contribs) 07:48, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Overly generic redirect, since search results are for information brokers.
- Category:Tomato pathogens and pests: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Tomato diseases 00:37, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- Kugelblitz: nominated at RM; New name: Kugelblitz (self-propelled anti-aircraft gun) 20:43, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Kugelblitz (astrophysics) has seen a major spike in pageviews (likely connected to season 3 of The Umbrella Academy), but prior to June 6 the ratio in pageviews between the black hole and this weapon was about 7:6, not a huge difference in terms of WP:PTOPIC. The fate of this RM is tied to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kugelblitz (disambiguation).
- Kugelblitz (disambiguation): nominated at AfD; notified ErkDemon (talk · contribs) 20:46, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Disambiguation contains a German World War II weapon (Kugelblitz), a type of black hole (Kugelblitz (astrophysics)), and the German word for ball lightning. The latter fails WP:FORRED, leaving a WP:2DABS case where there may or may not be a primary topic. The fate of this AfD is linked to an RM at Talk:Kugelblitz#Requested_move_24_September_2022.
- Category:Gender reveal wildfires: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified DefaultFree (talk · contribs) 22:20, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: 2-article category, likely WP:SMALLCAT, with a politcal motive regarding gender reveal parties.
- Bumblefoot (infection): nominated at RM; New name: Bumblefoot 23:41, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- Category:Syrian hamsters: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Golden hamster 23:53, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This is a topic category for one species, so the name should be singular as well.
- Oversaturated: nominated at RfD; Target: Supersaturation (notified); notified Metaknowledge (talk · contribs) 13:04, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Usage on Wikipedia is mostly for excessive market saturation, or other uses.
- Category:Continuous pitch instruments: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified 24.170.177.163 (talk · contribs) 23:15, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:OR. Most members do not mention that these instruments have a continuous pitch range.
October 2022
- Honeydew (color): nominated at RfD; Target: Spring green (notified); notified Keraunos (talk · contribs) 08:13, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The color is no longer mentioned at the target, but instead at Shades_of_green#Honeydew.
- Talk:Sanjay Singh (Uttar Pradesh politician): nominated at RM 16:43, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: There is disagreement on the proper disambiguation to distinguish this person from Sanjaya Sinh and Sanjay Singh (Haryana politician), who are all Indian politicians.* This person has represented both Uttar Pradesh and the National Capital Territory of Delhi in state and federal offices. He is currently a member of the Aam Aadmi Party, but previously served in Samajwadi Party. He was born in 1972.* Sanjaya Sinh has represented Uttar Pradesh in state and federal offices, and is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party. He was born in 1951.* Sanjay Singh (Haryana politician) serves in a Haryana state-level office, and is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party. We do not have a precise birth year for this person.
- Anti-drone rfile: nominated at RfD; Target: Directed-energy weapon (notified); notified Pol098 (talk · contribs) 23:37, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: "Rifle" is misspelled. 126 pageviews in the past 90 days, possibly because Anti-drone rifle has not been created.
- Questionable research practices: nominated at RfD; Target: Category:Ethically disputed research practices (notified); notified Gwern (talk · contribs) 08:56, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Cross-namespece redirect that should point to an article or be deleted to make way for one.
- Appearance of extrasolar planets: nominated at RfD; Target: Sudarsky's gas giant classification (notified); notified NuclearVacuum (talk · contribs) 22:59, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Too narrow for the target article, which is only about gas giants. For example, helium planets are described in their article as appearing white or gray.

- Category:Disc golf in the United States by state: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Iketsi (talk · contribs) 16:47, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Except for 2 pages in the California subcat and 1 in the Massachusetts subcat, all of these categories contain only subcats for disc golf courses. Most of those are themselves WP:SMALLCAT, but will be nominated separately.
- Category:Unfinished buildings and structures in Lithuania: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Unfinished buildings and structures; notified GiW (talk · contribs) 01:47, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: One-article subcategory by country in a scheme with few country subcats.
- Category:Unfinished buildings and structures in North Korea: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Unfinished buildings and structures; notified CmdrDan (talk · contribs) 01:48, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: One-article, vaguely politicized subcategory by country in a scheme with few country subcats.
- Category:Unfinished Ferris wheels: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Unfinished buildings and structures; notified Mz7 (talk · contribs) 01:52, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: One-article subcategory, likely WP:SMALLCAT.
- Category:Uncompleted nuclear reactors: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Unfinished nuclear reactors 02:47, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Per parent Category:Unfinished buildings and structures.
- Template:IPRangesock: nominated at TfD; notified Iggy the Swan (talk · contribs) 00:59, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Single-use template at User talk:2A02:C7D:8AA4:5600:0:0:0:0/64, we normally don't create user talk pages for IP ranges.
- Category:Archaeoseismology: nominated at CfDS (C2F); New name: Category:Fields of seismology 02:38, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only Archaeoseismology. The proposed merge target is more specific than the actual parent.
- Commi-Nazi: nominated at RfD; Target: King of the Hill (The Simpsons) (notified); notified Shawnc (talk · contribs) 08:09, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Minor joke not mentioned at the target.
- HD 28343: nominated at RfD; Target: List of stars in Taurus (notified); notified Mike s (talk · contribs) 03:52, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This star is not mentioned in the list, possibly due to extreme lack of notability.
- Category:Contact binary (small Solar System body): nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Contact binaries (????); notified Kheider (talk · contribs) 08:44, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This one is difficult. We need to use the plural to reflect its perimarily set-category contents, but a disambiguator matching the main article Contact binary (small Solar System body) is unwieldy for plural form. (Contact binary is about a type of binary star.)
- Equatorial: nominated at AfD; notified 64.166.145.2 (talk · contribs) 09:52, 12 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Everything here is likely a WP:PTM except for Equatorial climate and Equatorial region, which are already covered in Equator in addition to the articles where they redirect.
- Mirza (other uses): nominated at RM (technical); New name: Mirza (disambiguation) 07:25, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Misplaced dab page created while splitting.
- Talk:Mirza (name): nominated at RM; New name: Mirza 09:08, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: There was an undiscussed cut-and-paste move from this page to the base title, which will need to be history-merged; the disambiguation page was moved to Mirza (disambiguation) via an improper title. Is there a clear primary topic for Mirza?
- Dibenzodiazepine: nominated at RfD; Target: Diazepine (notified); notified Mukeshsamani (talk · contribs) 22:48, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not discussed at the target dab page, and different from benzodiazepine.
<gallery>{{pb}}Clozapine.svg|A dibenzodiazepine ([[clozapine]]){{pb}}Chlordiazepoxide structure.svg|A benzodiazepine ([[chlordiazepoxide]]){{pb}}</gallery>
- Reason: Not discussed at the target dab page, and different from benzodiazepine.
- Category:Mid-air collisions in Africa: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Mid-air collisions; notified Jim Michael (talk · contribs) 23:24, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not enough entries to support an Africa subcategory, or to warrant subdividing by country or continent.
- Comparison of free geophysics software: nominated at AfD; notified Kwinkunks (talk · contribs) 08:19, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Prodded by Pppery (talk · contribs) with reference to the following precedents:*Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of risk analysis Microsoft Excel add-ins (2nd nomination)*Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of power management software suites*Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of XMPP server softwareThe previous AfDs concerned overreliance on primary sources and OR with too many technical details and non-notable entries. Then the article was deprodded by Christian75 (talk · contribs) without explanation.
- Scores on the doors: nominated at AfD; notified Phiscoe (talk · contribs) 08:49, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Currently this is based only on primary sources from government websites, and may be WP:SYNTH. I can find attestation to the term, e.g. [10], but otherwise WP:GNG is questionable. Created by a COI SPA who repeatedly shoehorned a commercial website into the article text; see also Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Scores_on_the_doors.
- Hans Gruber (character): nominated at RM; New name: Hans Gruber (Die Hard) 14:34, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Standardize fictional element disambiguation, even in the absence of other characters with the name. I would have done this unilaterally, but that conflicted with an existing redirect.
- Category:Percussion instruments used as theatrical sound effects: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Andrewa (talk · contribs) 03:34, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not mentioned in 2 of 3 articles, and no parallel categories for other types of instruments.
- Yūka Morishima: nominated at RfD; Target: Kiratto Pri Chan (notified); notified CuteDolphin712 (talk · contribs) 19:16, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Person who is also a member of Run Girls, Run! and has an article in Japanese Wikipedia (). Recommend deletion per WP:REDLINK and WP:XY.
- Mocchi ball: nominated at RfD; Target: Navajo Sandstone (notified); notified Atomicthumbs (talk · contribs) 19:18, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The rocks are sometimes known as Moqui balls, but I cannot attest to this spelling. Possible spelling variant or misspelling of Mochi ball.
- Shardul Singh Bakalawale: nominated at RfD; Target: Amritpal Singh Khalsa (notified) 05:25, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: At their user talk page, creator Khalsa Mishima (talk · contribs) claimed that they were personally told by A.S. Khalsa that he has changed his legal name. I was unable to verify this, finding zero results for this name or "Shardul Singh" in connection to his organization Waris Panjab De.
- Dust (Babylon 5): nominated at RfD; Target: Babylon 5 (notified); notified Xuenay (talk · contribs) 16:01, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fictional drug not mentioned anymore at target article.
- Stump Asteroid: nominated at RfD; Target: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (notified); notified 81.236.218.90 (talk · contribs) 16:06, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not mentioned at target, and mentioned in passing in at least 2 other TMNT articles.
- Crystal Sea (Masters of the Universe): nominated at RfD; Target: Masters of the Universe (notified); notified Neelix (talk · contribs) 01:24, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fictional element not mentioned at target.
- Areography (geography of Mars): nominated at RM (technical); New name: Areography 05:22, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Disambiguation without a base title.
- Areograph: nominated at AfD; notified Jasonriggs (talk · contribs) 05:25, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
December 2022
- Invalid cookery: nominated at RfD; Target: List of diets (notified); notified Jnestorius (talk · contribs) 01:08, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Not mentioned anymore at target.
- 2016 February Tamil Nadu meteorite incident: nominated at AfD; notified Manojthansi1 (talk · contribs) 04:34, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:LASTING because there is no in-depth coverage beyond the week of the incident. Kent G. Budge (talk · contribs) was unable to find anything except for a paper that briefly describes three different news reports on unexplained meteorite incidents in loose relation to a strangelet hypothesis.
- Talk:Gyula König: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Talk:Gyula Kőnig 00:51, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: To match associated article.
- Category:First artificial satellite of a country: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:First artificial satellites of a country 16:39, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Should be plural.
- Category:Astronomical places named for Middle-earth: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified ShadowDragon343 (talk · contribs) 20:20, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Contains only one subcategory, and the name is nonstandard. Based on Category:Things named after Tolkien works, I am not confident that there are enough astronomical objects to populate this, not even considering WP:SHAREDNAME to delete the subcategory.
- Cyrillisation of English: nominated at AfD; notified Thiscouldbeauser (talk · contribs) 13:16, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Also included:*Cyrillisation of Italian (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)*Cyrillisation of Portuguese (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)*Cyrillisation of Spanish (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)Because these articles were all created around the same time by Thiscouldbeauser (talk · contribs), and are sourced only to Omniglot. Prodded by Fram (talk · contribs) for failing WP:GNG, but deprodded by the creator on a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS basis.
- XI-B: nominated at RfD; Target: Xi baryon (notified); notified Nono64 (talk · contribs) 18:29, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: The capital B is not used for the
Ξ−
b baryon, if that is what is intended from this redirect. I considered retargeting to Stalag XI-B with a hatnote to the firearm listed in Llama Firearms' article, but am unsure if the former is WP:PTM.
- Reason: The capital B is not used for the
- Stalag XI-B: nominated at RM; New name: Stalags XI-B, XI-D, and XI-357 18:35, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: About 3 geographically associated Stalags, not just XI-B.
- Snake handling in religion: nominated at RfD; Target: Snake handling in Christianity (notified); notified Scyrme (talk · contribs) 19:29, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Overly broad redirect from a merge, as the target is specific to Christianity and does not discuss other religions; there is probably also a missing broad-concept article similar to the stub Snake handler. An incorrect link was found at Mareke giri, a type of street performance in Iran.
- Template:SolarMoonSummary: nominated at TfD; notified JorisvS (talk · contribs) 07:21, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Used only on Natural satellite, recommend subst based on content, which consists of a table with 43 images and two-line labels.
- Template:SolarSummary: nominated at TfD; notified Serendipodous (talk · contribs) 07:28, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unused table with 49 photos of objects; the irregular bodies seem to be chosen at random, even among all the ones that have been seen clearly.
- Seacouver: nominated at AfD; notified HoneyBee~enwiki (talk · contribs) 06:25, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This fictional location definitely fails WP:GNG; search results are a mixture of the non-RS typical of fictional elements, and unrelated things with the same name. Content is almost completely unsourced, including purported real-world background about the name. Can possibly be redirected to Highlander: The Series.
- Category:Russian population groups: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Social groups of Russia 18:22, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Solangi: nominated at RfD; Target: Solanki (clan) (notified); notified مالڪ سولنڪي (talk · contribs) 18:46, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: I cleared out an article here that was a duplicate of Solanki (clan), but I am not sure is this should instead redirect to the surname Solanki. There are notable people with the name, but they are currently not listed at that SIA.
- Solanki: nominated at RM; New name: Solanki (name) 18:48, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Is the surname more noteworthy than the Solanki (clan)? I found a duplicate article of the clan at Solangi and redirected to the clan, but I am not sure if that page should instead redirect here. Although this list currently includes only the surname, there are notable people with the given name Solanki as well (e.g. Solanki Roy), which would be included in the same article.
- Category:Albanian gestures: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Albanian culture; notified Kj1595 (talk · contribs) 07:19, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: WP:SMALLCAT that is not part of an established scheme. Both entries are already in Category:Hand gestures, and one is already in Category:Albanian culture.
- Paakantyi (Darling language): nominated at RM (technical); New name: Paakantyi language 00:50, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unnecessary, malformed disambiguator.
- Category:Victims of OUN-B killings: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Victims of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists; notified Faustian (talk · contribs) 03:55, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Per rename request incorrectly started as an RfC:
For one thing, the current category name is grammatically wrong.
Another thing, some articles in the category were assassinated before the OUN-B was created, which was in 1940 (see here)
— User:Jabbi 19:24, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Per rename request incorrectly started as an RfC:
- Abd al‐Wajid: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Abd al-Wajid 12:53, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: MOS:HYPHEN, hyphen-minus instead of non-ASCII hyphen.
- Abū al‐ʿUqūl: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Abū al-ʿUqūl 13:01, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: MOS:HYPHEN, hyphen-minus instead of non-ASCII hyphen; false-positive MediaWiki:Titleblacklist match for entry
(?!(User

- Reason: MOS:HYPHEN, hyphen-minus instead of non-ASCII hyphen; false-positive MediaWiki:Titleblacklist match for entry
- Before Homosexuality in the Arab‐Islamic World, 1500-1800: nominated at RfD; Target: Before Homosexuality in the Arab-Islamic World, 1500–1800 (notified); notified AnomieBOT (talk · contribs) 13:14, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: This title contains both a hyphen-minus (-) and a non-ASCII hyphen (‐). Most keyboards contain only the former.
- Certified Nurse‐Midwife: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Certified Nurse-Midwife 13:15, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: MOS:HYPHEN, hyphen-minus instead of non-ASCII hyphen
- Category:Imperialist works: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Stefanomione (talk · contribs) 14:29, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unlike Category:Works about imperialism, I cannot see a common thread joining these works, ranging from Left Behind to "What Russia Should Do with Ukraine".
- Wild edible plants of Israel / Palestine: nominated at RM; New name: Wild edible plants of Israel and Palestine 15:56, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
