Nothing notable in the text of the article, even in the Serbian or Serbo-Croatian versions (sr:4. јул (Зрењанин) or sh:Četvrti Jul (Zrenjanin). Unreferenced since its 2007 creation, and the Serbian and Serbo-Croatian versions don't have references either. I didn't find anything about the neighborhood in a (cursory) search, but I may have missed something because I got false positives from a Belgrade publishing house of the same name. Local Internet User (talk) 23:50, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Delete — I've done a search in Serbian, and I only see the most routine of coverage (local basketball tournament, the town water supply failed...). The article is mostly personal knowledge, original research, or something you could see on Google maps, so even if there are some offline sources on Zrenjanin that have been overlooked, a WP:TNT deletion would be ok.

This is an article about some random yacht owned by a rich dude not notable enough to get an article. The only sources are a obscure danish YouTube video showcasing the ship, a few yacht nerd sites talking about the model of ship and a business insider publication about the events surrounding how some dockworkers don't want to fuel the boat because they didn't like the dude who owns it. Pyrrhic victor (talk) 16:06, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

KEEP - It's not just about a random yacht owned by a random dude. It is a yacht that, at the time, was owned by a sanctioned Russian. Also, unlike you claim, there are credible sources, like Business Insider, Superyacht Times and other Dutch news outlets. The yacht itself is also noteworthy looking at the fairly large rebuild/redesign the ship has undergone. Which was, I think, one of the first of this magnitude. 102Legobrick (talk) 16:29, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
Oh, my mistake I wasn't aware of the considerable of the renovations to the vessel and if you're correct in the degree of modification then I would agree the vessel would be notable. Thanks for pointing that out don't know how I missed it. on second thought the modifications should go more towards the company that modified it rather than the ship itself and the modifications while interesting, I don't think they make it notable.

  • Keep The Norway incident was also covered by The Independent. The later course of the yacht was covered by The Times of Malta. The Scottish Daily Record covered the yacht's visit in 2021. Russian Forbes (from a staff writer) dedicated roughly 100 words to the yacht in 2020. The coverage in the trade press, which is plenty, should also be taken into account.

  • Keep - Based on those links, it seems like there's decent coverage in reliable sources about news-worthy events tied to the yacht. Personally, I'm not 100% convinced that the coverage is really about the yacht per se (it's really about the owner's nationality and sanctions tied to that), so if the yacht's owner had an article, I would've preferred merging the yacht into his page. But he doesn't, so I think keeping the yacht's article is justified by the coverage. Local Internet User (talk) 00:57, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep - Coverage from BuisnessInsider and other news sources meet GNG, and the ship is large enough to be considered notable by WP:SHIPS. She is also notable due to the arrest and design, per the international coverage accessible online. GGOTCC 20:24, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep. There is sufficient coverage for WP:GNG: Business Insider and the sources identified by User:Kelob2678; there is also a video from the regional press (Dutch, not Danish) and several specialist sources. The nomination includes the usual talking-down of sources and a disregard for WP:NEXIST. In bottom line, the sourcing is solid, though not exceptional, and the arguments for deletion are not strong. gidonb (talk) 09:45, 3 December 2025 (UTC)
KEEP This isn’t just a yacht. Even Discovery Channel has an Episode about this boat (Mega Machines: Sea Giants, season 2 - episode 11). The focus must be the yacht, not the owner. Russian or not. This boat is a bit of a technical wonder. Bok001 (talk) 14:59, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

Cannot find any sources for the series that would count for notability (though there are some passing mentions, e.g. . These kinds of collections-by-the-publishers series with 0 input or intention from the original authors are almost never notable. PARAKANYAA (talk) 22:24, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Neutral. I added a few sources. There actually was a second piece by Jocelyn McClurg that I found which was a little bit different; although had much overlap. I would say McClurg's two pieces collectively count as 1 piece of evidence of WP:SIGCOV. After the book series came out there were some re-reviews of the books themselves which was interesting. I added a couple of those to the article. The series got mentioned in an encyclopedia entry on one of the novels indicating the author of that entry found its inclusion in this group noteworthy in terms of the novel's longterm significance. That's the one thing pushing me into neutral on this rather than solidly on the delete side. The books themselves in this publication form do get mentioned in passing in WP:SECONDARY sources and we could cite the complete list only using secondary materials; although the coverage is perfunctory in those books. (I added some examples of secondary book sources cataloguing the series) It's definitely possible to have a brief article here not using any primary materials. That said, I think the nominator is correct that the overall sourcing in terms of critical reception/significance is limited; and really only one writer has independently written anything worth recording on it. It's not enough to make me say this is a keep. We could just WP:NOPAGE this by mentioning the inclusion of the novels in this book form in each individual page which would be reasonable anyway as we do cover re-printings of books in articles on books. That would mean taking the time to mention it in each individual novel page before deleting the article. 4meter4 (talk) 13:25, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. This is an (rather) arbitrary list by the publisher to promote their books. Of course, there is some coverage, because the books on the list are notable. But if the series itself was so notable, where is the impact, the lasting legacy of the series itself? -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 21:19, 5 December 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. One piece of sigcov is not enough, and the fact that the book was included in the list can be mentioned in the book's article if editors there consider such inclusion WP:DUE. Kelob2678 (talk) 22:43, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

Every source in this article is a breaking news source from a single day in 2016. Except two sources that postdate this, , and a few sentences in a "13 of the creepiest, most messed-up YouTube videos" listicle , but this is not enough for notability per WP:GNG. Also I feel like there is some sort of BLP issue with this on account of the fact that he turned out to have nothing to do with the crime but the sources connect him to it.

  • Keep After the article was created, another editor nominated it for DYK, and the nomination was later passed. I believe the topic is notable. Yes it is connected to the missing-person case, but there are also sources that talk about the video itself and explain its context.

    same 1timeuse75 (talk) 18:35, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete The fact that the article is listed as a "hoax" also seems inappropriate, and leads me to agree with your BLP concern. It's pretty clearly just a non-noteworthy joke video that people unjustifiably connected to a disappearance. If it were a hoax that was intentionally made for that purpose, maybe it would be notable, but its notability really only comes from a misunderstanding / internet panic that existed for one day, and that seems to have been obviously nonsense even at that time. I don't see a justification to keep an article that implies there was something newsworthy about it.
Local Internet User (talk) 01:09, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete Although in-depth coverage exists in contemporary sources, there are no recent sources to meet WP:LASTING. I will change my !vote if recent examples of WP:SIGCOV are provided. The Knowledge Pirate (talk) 05:07, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
Redirect to Disappearance of Kayla Berg and add a few lines to reference that specific incident. WeirdNAnnoyed has a point here, this is pretty much a flash in a pan. Though a side question, how many DYK-nominated articles have been sent to AfD? Frank(has DemoCracy DeprivaTion) 07:43, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
@DemocracyDeprivationDisorder One of the DYK criteria is newness after all, so it's not surprising to me that there are articles that have been: made, nominated for DYK, and then deleted. It's like the circle of life of Wikipedia articles. 1timeuse75 (talk) 18:12, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete no sign of meeting WP:LASTING. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 12:42, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:LASTING. The video is already mentioned briefly in the Disappearance of Kayla Berg article, but nearly every source about this topic is either unreliable, or WP:PRIMARYNEWS sources from during the investigation. After the video was determined to be a hoax, it has received zero coverage from reputable sources, and as such doesn't meet WP:LASTING. I wouldn't be opposed to redirecting this to Disappearance of Kayla Berg, but I won't explicitly recommend it, since the video is only tangentially related to the disappearance (the latter of which is the only reason the video got covered in the first place). – Epicgenius (talk) 13:16, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
    No there was coverage after it was "determined to be a hoax", the Dread Central article. 1timeuse75 (talk) 18:03, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
    Hmm. I had doubts about Dread Central at first, although WP:WPVG seems to consider it a reliable source, if weakly. However, there are two additional issues: this source doesn't talk about the video much (only one paragraph and a portion of a second even discusses this video), and we still need proof of sustained, in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources to prove notability. It doesn't have to be continuous, or even ongoing, but my earlier search on this topic only turned up Dread Central and that listicle mentioned in the nom. – Epicgenius (talk) 23:19, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
    For what it is worth, I think Dread Central is fine, but I do not think it as one source is enough. PARAKANYAA (talk) 23:22, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete - while an article about a hoax or a joke (unclear which it was) can be notable, since this is a BLP incident, it needs ongoing, significant coverage. This is especially true because it involves at least one person who was allegedly a minor at the time. The most common outcome about child actors and "stupid young people tricks" has been they are deleted, not redirected, because their consent didn't exist, or wasn't given freely by a developing brain. Bearian (talk) 15:59, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Delete I can't find any secondary sources to add to the page. Agnieszka653 (talk) 17:27, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
  • delete - like Bearian said above, while an article about a hoax or a joke (unclear which it was) can be notable, this video/subject has received some coverage, but not enough WP:SUSTAINED coverage to establish notability. This video was considered real for a period, and received some routine news coverage. That cant be considered as "significant coverage (sustained) over time", failing general notability guidelines. It also can be properly covered in the Disappearance of Kayla Berg article, if needed. —usernamekiran (talk) 16:07, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

This article seems to very obviously have been written by the article subject (see its edit history). It was deleted from the German Wikipedia for lack of notability and self-promotion. The English article has a lot of references and looks legit at a glance, but these references do not seem to actually check out. I can't tell that any of them are actually independent articles about this person. Most are articles he wrote, listings in directories or just quote him once but are actually about some organization he's promoting. Some of the references are to top-level sites that don't mention him. Most are error 404 or redirects at this point and I can't find them in archive.org/archive.today, including for articles that are supposedly just a year old.

Does not meet WP:NFF, production has not met notability guidelines, draft already exists and has been declined AFC BOVINEBOY2008 09:11, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Keep: Good coverage from Variety and ScreenDaily, also seeing more sources such as the Tehran Times and The Hollywood Reporter . I know it's not even out yet, but if sources are already covering it to this degree, I think we can call it a GNG pass and let it develop more once it comes out. MediaKyle (talk) 20:31, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Asghar_Farhadi#Filmography: With NFF, the commencement of principal photography is only the threshold at which we can begin to consider if an unreleased film is notable. An unreleased film isn't notable because it has begun. I searched for sourcing under both titles and offhand, the coverage is fairly sporadic. There were some announcements before filming began, but there hasn't been any in-depth coverage of the actual filming. Now, an additional issue here is that the coverage appears to be your typical "we got a press release this month and we're going to put out an article based on that" type of coverage. You can even see that the coverage is primarily during two months: April and September, primarily April. There's not really a huge amount of discussion or coverage that you would see with some of the more major films.
The general rule of thumb with NFF is that the coverage must be heavy enough to where the production could be notable if everything were to come to a screeching halt and the film never released. It's not uncommon for this to happen, even with films that seemed to be all but guaranteed to release. Right now the coverage for this isn't heavy enough to show notability in the here and now. I think that a redirect with history to the director's article is the best bet. This can be restored once more coverage comes about, which will most likely be when it releases and gets some reviews.

Tagged this nn a few months ago, dunno about the AI generated and I don't really think it matters too much since it's a brochure either way, and the sources are still all your usual WP:SERIESA stuff and SPS. I guess the first, Business Insider source being the usual funding announcement format but lacking even real funding information (much less any other useful information) because they hyped it so much they did it before the funding round is a little new. Can't write an encyclopedia article out of hype though.

Good point on the Italian wiki sources. I should have checked there. That said, WP:NEXIST isn't everything. As a general rule unsourced pages, even when there are materials, aren't allowed to hang around forever. This has been an unsourced article for 19 years. Someone actually needs to put in some verified content (even if it just verifies one or two sentences) or we should just remove all of it. I contemplated redirecting it to Eccellenza Apulia. I may still do that if no article improvement happens. We can't support unsourced material per WP:BURDEN because people can just blank the page in such cases, and be correct in doing so under verifiable rules Facts or claims without an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports[b] them may be removed. They should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source. It would be helpful here for those who understand this sport and its Italian language sources (I don't particularly) to be the ones to take the time to add even just one inline citation. That to me would be sufficient to rescue this if the consensus here is that SIGCOV exists. Best.4meter4 (talk) 12:48, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

British political advisor ('SpAd') and sometime musician. Not elected, so fails WP:NPOL as a politician and brief career with Clean Bandit doesn't confer notability. Redirect to Clean Bandit as AtD (his only possible claim to notability is the band, not as a political advisor) reverted, so we find ourselves here. Coverage presented is for Clean Bandit, not Amin-Smith. Wonder if there's a COI involved here, but honestly am not bothered. If not Redirect, Delete. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 16:00, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Keep: his notability as a political advisor is underscored by his several mentions in various reputed outlets (Politico, The Guardian) as Rachel Reeves' foremost advisor, and in his topping of The Standard's 'List of Sexiest Londoners' this year, both of which were my reasoning for constructing the article (as opposed solely to his time as a violinist in a band). I don't see why he should be considered any less notable than two of the other Clean Bandit members Grace Chatto and especially Jack Patterson, neither of whom are reported on individually as much in recent years. Amin-Smith does fail WP:NPOL (after all, civil servants aren't politicians), but fulfils every aspect of WP:GNG. Profavi1 (talk) 16:09, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Keep - As argued by the previous voter. The current article is lopsided and does not need to repeat basic info on Clean Bandit and Smith's place in the band. Conversely, the section on his political advising career can be expanded because he has received notice for influencing some powerful people. He does not need to satisfy WP:NPOL because he is not a politican running for office, but per WP:GNG he has achieved basic notability as someone who has been covered in reliable media sources. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:00, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
    But he hasn't - that's the issue here. The RS references on this page are all about Clean Bandit... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 15:25, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
It's true that the sources currently in the "Political career" section have a hard time introducing him without talking about his previous music career, but that is standard journalistic practice. After that obligatory coverage, my stance is that the sources are indeed about his current work as an advisor, however brief. Here are some more that follow the same pattern but still name him as an advisor to the powerful: , . ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:05, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
There's a lovely Arab phrase, the dog of a Sheikh is not a Sheikh - Advisors to the powerful are not themselves in power. Or, to be a tad more pithy, Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions - notability is not inherited. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 17:06, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
Avoid the temptation to bludgeon when your points have already been made several times. Meanwhile, the argument that an advisor to the powerful is not in power, and therefore only inherits notability from the powerful, is a red herring that avoids the question of whether an advisor can be notable as an advisor. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:48, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Keep: Amin-Smith has had an interesting career. Perhaps we can all agree on that! If he was just a musician, maybe you'd have a case to just redirect to Clean Bandit. If he was just a spad, maybe you'd have a case under WP:NPOL to delete. But he's been both and there's enough sourcing to write an article about him.

I'm concerned that this may be a hoax article. I don't speak Korean, but none of the four forms of his name (Hangul, Hanja, RR, MR) came up with anything seemingly relevant in my searches (there were a few possible matches on Google Scholar for the Hanja name, but I couldn't be sure it was definitely about this person with just machine translation).

He appears to have been a real person, these sources are just Korean wikis/Encylopedias so they're not like the most ideal but they do suffice. I do think the figure is very obscure though hence why theres almost nothing on him, his most noteworthy things really are just being Prime Minister (but no records of what he did survive) and being an ancestor of his much more famous descendent.

Undergraduate degree

Undergraduate degree (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This article is a mix of dicdef, WP:OR and misunderstanding. The tl;dr is that we don't need it and it is actively harmful in suggesting the misnomer a bachelor's degree, once awarded, may be referred to as an "undergraduate degree".
The first thing to note is that almost none of the references even hint that "undergraduate degree" is a thing. A few of the references talk about "undergraduate degree program(me)s", which is better and if kept, this article should be moved to that name. There is just one source, the QAA source, that contains 4.17.6 In Scotland a small number of universities (Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh and St Andrews (the Scottish Ancients) have a long tradition of labelling certain undergraduate academic degrees as Master of Arts 'MA'. However, even here, they are clearly speaking about "undergraduate academic degree programs". No source defines or makes the case that there is such a concept as "undergraduate degree" once the student has graduated.
An alternative to deletion is to redirect to Undergraduate education. However that alternative was discussed in a poorly attended merge proposal in 2022 and rejected. Having more eyes on it here at AfD will be beneficial and I do not oppose that ATD.
Note that there are other academic first degrees than bachelors degrees, but associate degree, bachelors degree and foundation degree all have their own pages, and we have Undergraduate education to bring them together. We don't need this page. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:25, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
Keep: While the article may require improvement in the information that it expresses, it doesn't mean that there aren't valid sources that exist to cover this topic (see WP:NEXIST). Considering that this satisfies WP:GNG, is a broad enough topic (more specific than the individual types of degrees), and is a Level-5 Vital article, I'd say what this article needs isn't deletion, but an increased supplement of reliable sources and restructuring, at best. — Alex26337 (talk) 09:48, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
At AfD we need to review the sources. They don't need to be in the article, but we can't just assume they exist either. What articles speak about "undergraduate degrees" as a thing rather than "undergraduate degree programmes" which lead to graduation with a degree? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 10:14, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
Delete per WP:TNT. The topic is covered more completely and less idiosyncratically at other articles (see e.g. Bachelor's degree). Tioaeu8943 (talk) 14:57, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
Keep Per Alex26337, this is clearly notable. A quick Google shows many sources referring to 'undergraduate degree' - it obviously satisfied WP:GNG. I also note that the nominator has been going around removing links to this article prior to this discussion being completed, making the article appear less important to the rest of Wikipedia. Robminchin (talk) 16:21, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
And again, at AfD we need to review the sources. What independent reliable secondary sources are calling this thing an "undergraduate degree"? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:02, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
A very quick Google shows that Collins Dictionary has examples of its use in The Times . Other uses at universities: (University of Kansas), (Old Dominion University), etc.
You have already noted the QAA document, although you mischaracterise this as talking about degree programs when it is actually talking about degrees (the Scottish MA, specifically). Other documents that I could find with a few minutes of searching include International recognition of studies, diplomas, and degrees as seen from an American perspective (UNESCO).
Basically, this is a standard term that is used all over the place. It appears that you did not do the basic check of searching for sources before nominating this article for deletion and are instead making other editors do the work for you. Robminchin (talk) 19:30, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
When the term is used on the admissions page of a college it is evident that they are talking about their programmes. Those are geared to undergraduate admissions to a degree programme. Where does it get used of graduates with one of these degrees? The Times quotes in Collins are a little more interesting but they lack essential context to evaluate the sources against the usual criteria. Also be aware of the talk on the talk page of the article, where, on 9 October 2018, an IP pointed out the curious effect of citogenesis (or a variant of it). And please assume good faith. Although a WP:BEFORE is not, in fact, required at AfD, it should be clear that I reviewed all sources on the page. In addition I read through the whole talk page and conducted Google searches and books searches. I found a lot of admissions brochures for undergraduate degree programmes, and see the nom. statement for my views on that. I did not find people saying things like "Baroness Casey has an undergraduate degree in history" in any sources. I did find people saying that on Wikipedia, mind. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:53, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
They are telling people what the qualification is that they are studying for. You are reading your interpretation into the sources against the plain meaning of the English language - they say things like "An undergraduate degree can be an associate or a bachelor's" (ODU) or "An undergraduate degree is an academic credential awarded by a college or university after completing a prescribed course of study" (KU). The quotes from The Times are clearly also referring in at least two of the cases to people who have graduated. The QAA document is talking about the qualification awarded. The UNESCO document uses undergraduate degree to talk about the qualification someone is expected to have prior to starting a master's degree.
I did a Google News search for you for "undergraduate degree in history" and the first result starts "Savannah Jackson earned her undergraduate degree in history at Saint Mary’s College in South Bend" . Another result has "DeSantis earned his undergraduate degree in history from Yale University" , while yet another has "Grubb studied pre-law, then English but eventually earned his undergraduate degree in history at Washington and Lee University" . It might not be Baroness Casey, but that bit's not particularly relevant.
You can also find stories saying things like "Recent research shows that jobs which once required A-level qualifications now need an undergraduate degree" or "Today, more people are pursuing higher education than ever before, so it’s normal to take an undergraduate degree for granted, and for job applications to be competitive" – again, clearly referring to the qualification.
WP:BEFORE literally starts "Prior to nominating article(s) for deletion, please be sure to:" and includes, under WP:DILIGENCE, "The minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Books search, and a Google News search". Robminchin (talk) 22:54, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
I have already explained that I exceeded the requirements of WP:BEFORE. The issue is that we are not approaching this from the same angle. You appear to be arguing the page should exist based on the fact the term gets used, whereas I am saying that the page should only exist if there is a subject by this name. Although you will no doubt object that this is also exactly what you are arguing, and that you have presented evidence now that the usage of the term demonstrates the subject. But that is where the disagreement lies. That people speak loosely with this term is clear, and so that it shows up in some news sources is to be expected. None of those sources suggest that there is any encyclopaedic subject of "undergraduate degree" such that a graduate with a bachelors degree holds an "undergraduate degree." In fact they hold a degree. This is often a first degree, and they may hold a post-graduate qualification too. But the concept that a graduate might hold an "undergraduate degree" is sloppy usage, and the attempt to create a page based on occasional misusage would be WP:SYNTH.
Likewise, basing the page on admissions pages (as the page is now, and as per your sources 2 and 3) is only really valid if you are talking about undergraduate courses of study that lead to a degree. But what this page is saying is that there are a class of degrees that are undergraduate degrees (treated as a group and larger than bachelors degrees, the WP:COMMONNAME for those). Why? Well simply, I think, because they are not post-graduate degrees and because associate degrees and foundation degrees exist. But what sources do we have that say there is a class of degrees that are commonly (because the article must follow WP:COMMONNAME) called undergraduate degrees, once awarded? If this page is about undergraduate study it should be merged or renamed, per what I said in the nom. If this page is saying there are a class of degrees that are commonly called undergraduate degrees, we still don't have the sources for that. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:14, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
You appear to be shifting ground now that your original claims have been demonstrated to be incorrect. To be clear:
'it is actively harmful in suggesting the misnomer a bachelor's degree, once awarded, may be referred to as an "undergraduate degree"'. False. Reliable sources use 'undergraduate degree' to refer to bachelor's degrees, associate degrees, Scottish MAs, integrated master's degrees, etc.
'almost none of the references even hint that "undergraduate degree" is a thing.' False. It is referred to repeatedly by reliable sources.
'even here [the QAA document], they are clearly speaking about "undergraduate academic degree programs"'. False. They are talking about the Scottish MA, which is a qualification not a program.
'No source defines or makes the case that there is such a concept as "undergraduate degree" once the student has graduated.' False. Reliable sources repeatedly refer to people holding undergraduate degrees.
And, in your recent post, 'None of those sources suggest that there is any encyclopaedic subject of "undergraduate degree" such that a graduate with a bachelors degree holds an "undergraduate degree."'. False. The university articles cited, and others that could have been cited, do precisely that, with pages titled things like "What is an undergraduate degree" that state, explicitly, that it takes in bachelor's degrees. Reliable news sources repeatedly refer to people holding undergraduate degrees.
Basically, your whole premise is demonstrably false. It appears that the problem is that you don't like the term and so define any use of it as "people speak[ing] loosely". In Wikipedia, we are supposed to follow the sources, not decide that we know better than them. Robminchin (talk) 00:45, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
I have not shifted ground. I said at the outset that this article is a mix of WP:DICDEF, WP:OR and misunderstanding. It is a WP:DICDEF, despite dictionaries not actually including this definition themselves. I suspect you know that since you quoted the usages in Collins, but despite Collins finding a few usages, it appears they are insufficient for them to consider it meets the criteria for inclusion as a definition in their dictionary. What they do include, however, is a definition for first degree, thus:

People who have gained a higher qualification after completing a basic university degree such as a BA or a BSc refer to that basic degree as their first degree.

First degree, therefore, is the WP:COMMONNAME and if kept, the article should be renamed. Note that even in their definition, they do not include undergraduate degree. And they are not alone. The Oxford English Dictionary has no definition for undergraduate degree but says of first degree,

The academic qualification achieved by an undergraduate student on graduation (later often as contrasted with postgraduate qualifications); the course of study leading to this.

Wikipedia is not a dictionary, per WP:NOT, and dictionary definitions are excluded from articles under the second arm of WP:N, which states that a subject is notable for an article if it meets WP:GNG and is not excluded under WP:NOT. The dictionary definition is excluded.
What about WP:OR? Well, inasmuch as we are synthesising a subject from primary sources using the term (or not, as the case is for many of the sources), the article is WP:OR. However I am now less convinced there is not a subject here at all. But what sources speak to the subject? Noting that we have a page about bachelors degrees, and another for foundation degrees and another for associate degrees, this article is essentially a wrapper for these, around the definition of a first degree. That is, a degree that is not a postgraduate degree. We still don't have sources that show these are treated as a subject, but it perhaps stands to reason that such a subject might exist. How is it different from Undergraduate education though? What are secondary sources saying about first degrees as a class and subject in themselves, that is not said in an article on undergraduate education? Isn't this a case of WP:NOPAGE? Should this be merged with Undergraduate education? There is nothing that can be said here that cannot be said elsewhere (other than a dictionary definition that even dictionaries don't carry). Unless, that is, we have some sources that show otherwise. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 09:33, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep I think the best outcome here is building this article up as an overview of the types of undergraduate degrees, with sections for each type of degree and "see more" links to each of those degrees. If people are looking for multiple types of undergraduate degrees, it would be useful to have something more than just a disambiguation page or the undergraduate education page mentioned earlier in this AfD. However, if that cannot be done, I support a redirect or deletion of some kind. "First degree" should probably be a redirect to this page. Royal Autumn Crest (talk) 14:52, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Keep I was inclined to go redirect at first, but there are some decent arguments for keeping this as a general overview of the various types of undergraduate degrees, or at the very least dabify. Google Scholar has some results, which probably would be helpful to add. It is a legitimate question if this is a fork of undergraduate education and the assorted degrees. ← Metallurgist (talk) 04:14, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Delete due to article's misleading content and not belonging to an established hierarchy of articles. Most of my ideas about this article has already been said above. I just want to add some good points to the discussion. First I compared Europe section in Bachelor's degree, Undergraduate education and Undergraduate degree. I would expect the latter two be mostly duplicate (or just in one of the articles and linked from the other), while the first one - Bachelor's - should have similarities, although not entirely duplicate. What I've found is far from my expectations unfortunately: While Undergraduate education sums up perfectly the prevalent European systems and Bachelor's degree (Associate's etc.) goes deeper into individual countries where this type of an undergraduate degree is established - so far pretty good - then there's the black sheep: Undergraduate degree lists just two countries under Europe. Why two and why those two? Where's any information about the rest of the countries? Do only those two countries have undergraduate's and none of the others? Or are they an example of a common system? It is like an article about Donald Trump missing anything about his political career since 2015 onwards. Second I couldn't find any Postgraduate degree / Graduate degree separate articles, they are just redirects. By this sentence I don't want to say Undergraduate degree article shouldn't exist as his "siblings" are nonexistent, but I want to stress out, that in similar cases the content of a potential Postgraduate degree article simply was written elsewhere, no need for a separate page. Keeping the article would only result in the article having issues listed above indefinitely. While deleting the article would warn the editors to start over really really carefully (if ever) and direct the potential good content to other already profound articles about the topic, not into a misleading incomplete stub-like one.

• Keep: There are a number of news that cover Baier-Lentz as the main topic directly and aren't routine coverage, both in U.S. outlets (Business Insider, Axios, VentureBeat, PitchBook, TechCrunch, The Information, etc.) and in Germany (FAZ, Die Zeit, Die Welt, etc.). Including recent ones that are not included in the article for discussion, e.g., https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/unternehmen/moritz-baier-lentz-ein-aufsteiger-aus-deutschland-110250233.html. Google shows over 10 pages of results for his name for me. He's also been in numerous well-known German podcasts as a guest like Die Welt or OMR, which is the biggest German podcast featuring people and their background stories.

I don't know about the U.S., but in Germany, Baier-Lentz is one of the most well-known venture capital investors in Silicon Valley. And in the gaming industry, he is probably the best known investor (and most active). The "CEO Forum" that Baier-Lentz organizes every year in San Francisco is the biggest event for gathering all CEOs in gaming (including CEOs of all the publicly listed companies in U.S., Europe, and Asia), which would clearly indicate to me that Baier-Lentz is a notable and instrumental person in the global gaming & interactive media industry.
Aside from what is covered in the article, he does a lot of work advising high school and college students and co-authored a book that was in the Spiegel bestsellers in Germany last year, which is how I got to know him and why I am trying to move to the U.S. (and I know the same is true for many others).

  • Delete. Essentially per Reconrabbit also. On the FAZ article, I find it too heavily based off quotes to be considered independent, that may also be why Igel is finding it reads like an ad. No matter how important someone is, we cannot have an article based off WP:SPIP. I'm not so convinced Lightspeed Venture Partners should remain either, it currently appears to be based off routine coverage of funding rounds, however it may be some time before I am able to nominate it.

https://sigma.world/news/gaming-sector-boosted-by-leading-venture-capital-firm/ Deamonpen (talk) 09:31, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
A substantial amount of information directly from the subject, which would not be independent. The same applies to SiGMA, which is a company announcement. Using SPIP as the basis for an article contradicts the relevant guidelines. Alpha3031 (t • c) 10:39, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
SiGMA is an article created on the occasion of him being hired, but that does not equal being a company announcement. The FAZ article is not an interview and is written largely in the author's own voice. Deamonpen (talk) 10:58, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
I do not believe I have said that the FAZ article "is an interview". I have said the FAZ article is information directly from the subject, which is trivially evident if you look at all the aus der Sicht von Baier-Lentz and In Baier-Lentz’ eigenen Worten etc in the article (or, if no german, the quotation marks could be a hint). It's also ridiculously obvious it's a puff piece, you do not put words like Menschen wir Baier-Lentz braucht das Land, man sollte sie kennen. in serious journalism. (wir sprechen ihn frisch neu eingekleidet auf dem Weltwirtschafts­forum in Davos und lassen ihn weitestgehend in eigenen Worten über sein Leben berichten. translates to we spoke to him, freshly dressed, at the World Economic Forum in Davos and let him tell his story largely in his own words. by the way). I am seriously questioning if we are even reading the same article. Alpha3031 (t • c) 23:36, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
Keep. Per Ruisleipae-helsinki and Deamonpen, and while I agree the article itself can be improved, the subject is clearly notable. That some included articles in themselves do not satisfy WP:NBASIC does not take away from the fact that many others clearly do (see Ruisleipae-helsinki for some of them), including FAZ (which is the second largest German newspaper by circulation, excluding tabloid Bild) and the the article was written by its Editor-in-Chief. For additional consideration of notability, and not included in the current version of the article, I found that Baier-Lentz earlier this year also co-founded General Intuition, which raised over $130 million in funding, reportedly the largest initial funding round in the gaming industry in history. Some coverage around this include The Verge (https://www.theverge.com/column/801370/ai-world-models-general-intuition-medal), Sources (https://sources.news/p/a-new-bet-on-what-comes-after-llms), Gamesbeat (https://gamesbeat.com/general-intuition-raises-133-7m-to-build-an-ai-frontier-research-lab-for-the-game-industry/), Techcrunch (https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/16/general-intuition-lands-134m-seed-to-teach-agents-spatial-reasoning-using-video-game-clips/), and the Wall Street Journal (https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/world-models-ai-evolution-11275913). This effort (in addition to the fact that much of Baier-Lentz's notable work precedes his tenure at Lightspeed) also make the case for a standalone article vs. a merge proposed by IgelRM. Lastly, Lightspeed is one of the ten (probably top five) most notable venture-capital firms globally. I do agree their article can be significantly improved as well (per Alpha3031) and better, neutral sources are easily available. But it clearly warrants notability from my perspective; as do Baier-Lentz and other Lightspeed partners, such as Jeremy Liew or Michael Mignano. Mosaic2022 (talk) 21:07, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
I do agree their article can be significantly improved as well (per Alpha3031) would be a misrepresentation of what I have said. Alpha3031 (t • c) 22:22, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
My apologies, that's very fair. I should have said "in response to" and not "per". Mosaic2022 (talk) 00:40, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
Don't worry about it I guess. I'm glad you're willing to clarify things when called out, but I still don't really see what being able to improve the article has to do with anything I said, considering my assertion is that all of the coverage is WP:SPIP (press releases, interviews, content substantially based off such press releases and interviews) and you've made no assertion otherwise, for FAZ or any other of the sources. You don't even need to be able to read german to be able to tell that it's primarily based on quotes, but such choice sentences like Menschen wir Baier-Lentz braucht das Land, man sollte sie kennen. really highlight what kind of source article this is. You can improve the article all you like, but if these are the sources we're working with... Alpha3031 (t • c) 03:54, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
Thank you. To further clarify, my comment in relation to you was for Lightspeed, not Baier-Lentz. As it relates to FAZ, as I mentioned above, I'd argue it's among Germany's most reputable (probably leading together with Sueddeutsche Zeitung) and highest-circulation newspapers, and the author for this particle article on Baier-Lentz was the FAZ's Editor-in-Chief, which should only lend it additional credibility. For what it's worth, a Google search for "most reputable German written sources" retrieves FAZ as the first result as well. Mosaic2022 (talk) 17:27, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
I don't believe I've mentioned reliability of FAZ. This does not appear to show an understanding of the issue at hand. Alpha3031 (t • c) 23:14, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
Weak Keep Subject appears notable enough, but the article needs a serious de-WP:PROMO-ing; currently reads like a corporate bio page. RunningOnBrains(talk) 16:26, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

  • comment The only clear references I can find are in a fertilizer sampling report; everything else seems to be chance juxtapositions. The topos do show it, except that by the time they do, it's one continuous stream of built-up area from Baltimore on out. We need some more testimony of the palce.

  • Comment. As the nominator I support a merge to Perry Hall, Maryland. @Katzrockso: Kuddos on that source location. Great find!4meter4 (talk) 22:42, 28 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment: Merging to Perry Hall makes sense here, there are enough sources to support the claim that "Germantown" essentially became Perry Hall., though it sounds like it was more of a merger as unincorporated places grew.--Milowent • hasspoken 22:22, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
