It's hard to decide if I will draftify this article but this feels like it's too soon to have the a standalone article.

- Delete. Fails WP:NORG with no WP:SIGCOV for the museum. Each of the sources is about its founder Doug Quick, with (at most) a glancing mention of the fact that he founded this organization. The closest we get is this local radio story, but even that is mostly about Quick with just a couple WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS of the museum. I'd suggest a redirect to Doug Quick but that page already redirects here. If someone wants to create that page so I can change my !vote, please ping me but otherwise I'm left with "delete." Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:30, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comments - First, there are several websites with text almost identical to this article, but I can't tell whether the WP article is WP:COPYVIO or a case of citogenesis: (1), (2), (3).
- The article needs to be revised to resolve the possible copyvio problem.
- Second, there are sources that could be used in an overhaul effort for this article:
- Third, there are multiple listings by college, annually, naming scholarship awardees at the various institutions, with descriptions of the award, which colud provide in depth, reliable sources to revise the article.
- Last, perhaps the best solution to the problem of potential copyvio might be to draftify this article, and rebuild it from secondary, reliable sources. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 17:53, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- A copyvio is unlikely. Looking through the article's history, the current version developed slowly over time. Here is the copyvio comparison for your link no. 1. It's blatantly obvious (and also kinda funny) that they just copied text from Wikipedia and made some minor changes to disguise it ("29" -> "various", "selected" -> "chosen", "on the basis of" -> "based on"). The comparison tool doesn't work for the other two links, but they're dated so we can look at the latest revision before they were published. For both no. 2 and no. 3, the text was already there. So the copyright concerns are baseless and the article should definitely not be draftified. --Un assiolo (talk) 19:19, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: There is a list of potential sources here, though it seems they are all from universities involved with the programme. --Un assiolo (talk) 19:25, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Thomas Siebel#Philanthropy. I looked for sources and all I could find were press releases and content promoting the scholars on the websites of their colleges and universities; none of these are independent coverage. It's a WP:GNG fail, but as an AtD we can redirect to the discussion of the founding donor's philanthropy in his bio. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:07, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Semi-advertorialized article about a filmmaker, not properly referenced as passing inclusion criteria for filmmakers.
The attempted notability claim here is an unreferenced list of minor awards from small-fry film festivals whose awards are not instant notability clinchers -- WP:NFILM is looking for Oscars, Canadian Screen Awards, BAFTAs or major film festivals on the order of Cannes, Berlin or TIFF whose awards get broadly reported by the media as news, not just any film festival that exists -- but apart from two hits of "local woman does stuff" in her own hometown media (and a New York Times hit that tangentially verifies the existence of a podcast that she was not involved in creating, and thus is not about her in any GNG-contributing sense), this is otherwise referenced entirely to primary and unreliable sources that are not support for notability at all.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have a stronger notability claim, and better sourcing for it, than this. Bearcat (talk) 18:32, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

- Note: Article was at a misspelling of her name: I moved it to Jia Rizvi (as on her website and in other sources), then realised one isn't supposed to move an article during an AfD and moved it back again. So as I type it is at the wrong title. PamD
- Note also: most sources refer to her as Jia Wertz, but her own web page uses Rizvi. PamD 09:10, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: there seem to be enough articles about her as film-maker. It was a badly-written article but I've cleaned up some of the problems - use of forename, curly quotes, lack of links, overlinks, etc. PamD 09:10, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- And bizarre system of reference names too: "one" etc. Have fixed the most-re-used. PamD 10:15, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep. She doesn’t seem to pass WP:NDIRECTOR but the Calgary Herald and GlobalNews profiles are sufficient SIGCOV for this to clear WP:GNG. Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:35, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:TOOSOON. She’s won some accolades in smaller film festivals, but not the bigger ones like Cannes (which actually isn’t that difficult to get into). Right now, the sourcing isn’t up to the level we usually expect from significant coverage. Bearian (talk) 02:10, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Article on a rocket engine under development which has no proven notability as it does not yet exist. Clear case of WP:TOOSOON. As part of WP:NPP it was draftified for improvement, for instance waiting until it has proven to be viable. Novice editor removed tags, moved back to main and made comments that violate politeness code. This article and approach is inappropriate for Wikipedia. Since the editor has rejected draftification, deletion now is the approach. If the motor ever works and becomes useful, then and only then would it be appropriate for Wikipedia.

Biography of a CEO of a company, Alef Aeronautics, which is developing a 'flying car'. The article fails to demonstrate that Dukhovny himself, rather than the company and its proposed project, is notable by Wikipedia criteria. The sourcing (some of which looks questionable) consists entirely of articles discussing the project, and of interviews with Dukhovny - interviews are of course not independent of the subject, and thus cannot be used to demonstrate notability.

Category:Vehicle simulation MOGs
edit- Propose merging Category:Vehicle simulation MOGs to Category:Multiplayer vehicle operation games
- Nominator's rationale: A very similar category already exists. The desired category for merging is for practically the same thing. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 05:00, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- Strong Oppose. As the originator of both categories, "multiplayer vehicle operation games" is actually the category that is more specific.
- here is its specific role :
A category for any video game, arcade game, or board game in which multiple players are able to each operate a different control station or weapon station on the same vehicle at the same time.
,the category for vehicle simulation MOGs is more generic, as it is simply any multiplayer games where players play the game by operating a vehicle, i.e. rather than controlling an in-game persona. --Sm8900 (talk) 02:09, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge or reverse merge, the difference is too subtle to keep them apart. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:39, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- it is entirely different. in "multiplayer vehicle operation games," you and other players would be at separate stations on the same vehicle. Whereas "Vehicle simulation MOGs" includes any and all games where each player has their own jet fighter, or tank,or other vehicle, and is trying to shoot other players.

Category:People from Jagiroad District
edit- Propose renaming Category:People from Jagiroad District to Category:People from Jagiroad
- Nominator's rationale: The Wikipedia category should be renamed from "People from Jagiroad district" to "People from Jagiroad" because Jagiroad is not a district but a town in Assam, India. Saurabh{Talk} 03:12, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Just delete, the only article in the category does not contain any information about where the subject lived or lives. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:11, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: Does
He has been elected in Assam Legislative Assembly election […] from Jagiroad constituency
not imply that? jlwoodwa (talk) 06:18, 12 August 2024 (UTC)- No, unless Jagiroad is the only populated place in the constituency. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:22, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle Jagiroad is actually the most populated town in the constituency, and it's also the second most populated area in the district after the district headquarters. It's often considered a sub-division of the district due to its size and importance. Besides being a major transport hub, it's also an industrial area with significant establishments like the Hindustan Paper Mill and the Tata Semiconductor Assembly and Testing Facility. Saurabh{Talk} 17:22, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, the phrase does imply that he was elected from the Jagiroad constituency in the Assam Legislative Assembly election. Categorizing this information can help clarify these details and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the subject.
- However, we can also use "Jagiroad" instead of "People from Jagiroad," which will provide broader coverage. Saurabh{Talk} 14:54, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Category:Mass shootings involving armed citizens
edit- Nominator's rationale: I'm not sure if this should be renamed, as armed citizens seems like a POV title, or outright deleted as non-defining. User:Namiba 14:20, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete, not a defining characteristic. Marcocapelle (talk) 14:58, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. POV and not-defining. Are there mass shootings perpetrated by unarmed people? Or wait, is this supposed to be shootings where someone was armed at all? regardless, delete. Mason (talk) 03:59, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep for context, this refers to incidents where someone where someone who was not the police went after the perpetrator with a weapon, armed citizen here is referring to the person who tried to stop them and not the perp. For a few of these incidents in this cat this is actually quite defining and discussed, but I don't care enough to argue this. In either case I do not think it is POV; armed citizens is the usual title for this kind of thing in the sources. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:25, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep as creator This has been a major topic of discussion in the American gun control debate, and there are plenty of sources talking about it (just search "mass shootings armed citizens". I think it is a defining characteristic for some shootings (New Life Church, Greenwood, Sutherland Springs, Cetinje for an international example; there are plenty of sources discussing the armed citizens' roles in those attacks). The cat can be removed from the others if you want. It's also not POV, I guess we can change it to "Mass shootings involving defensive gun use" if you want.Also Mason please look at the category page and take 5 seconds to read the description before you comment anything. Thank you. Lettlre (talk) 22:09, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

- I'm on the fence about whether to keep or delete. However, if kept, it needs renaming because the current name is unclear, both because it could refer to the shooter and because citizen generally refers to someone with citizenship, which is obviously unconnected to this topic. Perhaps something like Category:Mass shootings involving armed civilian defenders, though I don't like the word "defender" but I'm unsure what else to suggest.

Category:LGBT YouTube celebrities
edit- Nominator's rationale: Not a helpful redirect, considering that the start of both this category and its target is "LGBT YouTube". Delete it. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:48, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- The category was moved to Category:LGBT YouTubers nearly a decade ago, I don't have a problem with deleting this. AusLondonder (talk) 03:26, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

- Shouldn't the subcategories be nominated too? Shouldn't it be a dual merge? Marcocapelle (talk) 06:53, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- What are you suggesting that the subcategories need to be nominated for? All of them are in established "X by nationality" trees with dozens upon dozens of siblings for other countries, with no discernible reason why Canada should be uniquely excluded from established trees, so why would they need to be deleted? Bearcat (talk) 17:31, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- If the nominated category is a case of WP:OCEGRS then surely its subcategories too. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:38, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- If Category:Women fashion designers and its Category:Women fashion designers by nationality subcategory, with 76 countries represented in it, are not a problem, then Canada's category for that cannot be a special standalone problem if the rest of that tree isn't. If Category:Women architects and its Category:Women architects by nationality subcategory, with 72 countries represented in it, are not a problem, then Canada's category for that cannot be a special standalone problem if the rest of that tree isn't. And on and so forth. Bearcat (talk) 14:01, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Category:First-person shooter multiplayer online games
edit- Nominator's rationale: This is a though one, but there are multiple reasons why this long-lasting category might not be as defining as everyone has once thought.
FPSMOGs are not a legitimate sub-genre of first-person shooters, while MMOFPSs considered one and Wikipedia has their own article on it. More importantly, most games in the FPS genre as whole will have online multiplayer, making it even more non-defining. This category isn't an entirely non-diffusing category and is also one of the only categories at the moment combing a genre and multiplayer online games.
This merge may make navigation harder, both the MOGs and FPS categories will contain 35-45 more articles, and that's okay. And besides not every single title that would fit into this category has been added here anyway.
For the subcategories we will instead replace the MMOFPSs category with category:Multiplayer online games and category:First-person shooters by series. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 02:03, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

Deletion review
editProcedurally, this was a bad close, regardless of the outcome. As the AfD nominator, I do not feel a need to relist, but I do feel that the irregularities and some concerning factors about the close should be reviewed.
- The AfD was closed as keep. The closer had previously relisted for more input, and the only input after this was a reasoned !vote for a non-keep outcome.
- The close gave no reason or explanation for the decision.
- No reason is bad form, and worse when the article being XfD'd is a BLP with additional copyvio and privacy concerns, which were also not acknowledged in the close.
- The close suggested having effectively the same discussion at the article talkpage; if the closer believed this was the best course of action, then "no consensus" is surely the close decision that would be taken.
- When challenged on the lack of reasoning in the close decision, the closer gave reasons which I find not only unconvincing, but somewhat concerning:
- Admitting to merely vote-counting. Besides ignoring the quality of reasons and policy adherence, this is particularly bad when there are only a handful of !votes, including some qualified or with no reason.
- Suggesting that they have bias towards a certain user's opinion. The user in question was the main advocate for keep, the decision the closer took. Kingsif (talk) 00:40, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note: after being notified, the closer is currently passive-agressively deleting drafts I (and only I) created. Kingsif (talk) 00:55, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see how you got vote counting from my statement
I saw more support for Keep than Delete or Redirect.
Maybe I didn't word this correctly but the support I meant was reading the arguments, not just counting votes. As for my alleged "bias", it was because I stated to Kingsif on my User talk page thatI respect the opinions of all of the editors arguing to Keep, especially Cielquiparle who typically works to improve sourcing on articles whose AFDs they participates in.
. I don't think that indicates that I'll close a discussion however Cielquiparle votes (I'm sure we have disagreed plenty of times), just that I respected their opinion. I think it's unrealistic to expect that a closer doesn't pay any attention to whom is voicing an argument, that we are "editor-blind". There are editors whose opinion I respect on sports topics or business topics because they regularly offer solid arguments. Cunard digs up sources that no one else can locate, Cielquiparle usually improves an article during an AFD. I take some editors' arguments more seriously than an IP editor who just showed up to express an opinion. If I get some flak for that, well I don't know how to ignore that some editors are very competent and reliable and I take their opinions seriously. It doesn't mean I didn't take the opinions of other editors in the discussion seriously, Kingsif asked me to justify my closure and I thought it best to be honest. - As for your drafts, they are eligible for CSD G13, if you look at the date of the last human edit, I delete CSD G13s all day long, it has nothing to do with this inquiry. A head's up, Draft:List of winning streaks in volleyball is due for CSD G13 in the next hour. Liz Read! Talk! 01:15, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- I know the drafts are eligible for G13, something a bot usually handles. If you can honestly deny that this didn't inspire you to look into the draft dump pile for anything with my name on it, I'll strike that, but I checked to see if you were just on a regular deletion spree and you weren't.
- I would challenge your assertion that Cielquiparle is
very competent and reliable
based on the "improvements" they made to the article and the sources/comments on sources they presented during the AfD, but we're not here to discuss the competency of other users - so I will just challenge that while closers cannot be expected to be assessing like some blank slate, they should not be (as you honestly, which, thanks, are) elevating one opinion above others because of who made it, when the other opinions may in themselves be equally or more valid. If a closer is going to effectively trust one user's take on something rather than assessing for themselves, that creates a massive judgement issue. Additionally, I didn't mean to suggest you would just close in line with Cielquiparle, but that you very much admitted that you respect their opinions more than you do others, and that can create bias. - Of course, I was concerned enough with points 1 through 3 initially that I asked for an explanation, and I feel that what you provided was neither satisfactory in addressing the whole AfD (indeed, still no comments on source quality, on notability policy, on copyvio), nor did it indicate why there was no initial close reason.
