- Mainframe auditing might possibly be a topic considered notable, as there is a good chance that enough material could be found to support notability. However, this topic is of very limited importance within Wikipedia, and a lot of the actual article is not suitable for an encyclopedia article. I have posted a notice at Talk:Mainframe computer regarding this; I would guess that the best option would be to merge what little seems to possibly be of value.

DeleteRedirect to Joe Stump - Didn't find anything else anything besides the AllMusic review. The artist actually might be notable (many borderline notable solo albums) and normally non-notable albums should be redirected to artist article but in this case it should be deleted unless someone is willing to create the article. --Mika1h (talk) 23:15, 17 March 2026 (UTC)Delete. Not much of anything out there, and [this] doesn't cut it.Also no good redirect target, as artist not notable.WidgetKid Converse 04:11, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete - Per WP:A9 we can assume that if the musician has no article, then the notability of that person's albums should be viewed suspiciously unless there are significant pro reviews and other coverage. This album is only visible in the usual streaming services and minor websites where users can post their own reviews. The AllMusic review mentioned in the article helps and it is from a pro reviewer with editorial oversight, but it's just one possible source and more are necessary for an encyclopedic article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:50, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
- Now that an article on Stump has been created (see below), I can go with a standard redirect of both the album articles to there. I think Stump's individual notability (outside of Alcatrazz) needs to be examined too, but that can be a different discussion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 01:07, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Please note that all NOTNEWS tells us is thatnot all verifiable events are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia
. Whether this or any particular event is suitable or not depends on its impact, as reflected in secondary sources. "Per NOTNEWS" tells us very little on the notability of the subject.

I can't come up with a strong, original, policy-based argument for keeping this article, but if it has to go, it should just be blanked and redirected so its revision history isn't lost.

It seems way too soon to have an article on this actor, who only has one role so far, no awards won for it, and any media coverage is focused on the show he was in (Lord of the Flies) or his upcoming role in Narnia: The Magician's Nephew. While he will likely get more coverage and meet guidelines for WP:NACTOR once Narnia is released, it will not hurt to wait until that actually happens to restore/recreate the article.

- Draftify I think what is relevant here is whether the upcoming Narnia movie is notable. Looking at that page, I would say it fails WP:NFF, as the production section is mainly based on various announcements. I am not opposed to a redirect to Lord of the Flies (TV series). Kelob2678 (talk) 00:50, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- Weak keep: This is a bit of an WP:IAR !vote, because I agree with TOOSOON, but considering Narnia is set for release later this year, I don't think there's much harm in keeping an article up that just falls short of WP:NACTOR, especially as he's already had one major role, and we know he's already wrapped up filming for a second. nil nz 01:00, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- Draftify per WP:TOOSOON. May be he will be eligible after release of Narnia: The Magician's Nephew, if review covers him. But release is far away for now. So, no Redirect. Draftify it. --SatnaamIN (talk) 06:49, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
- Comment without a vote, coming from the German WP: We haven't had an official deletion discussion but were very near it. He is apparently considered notable for his previous role (the future role being sort of crystal ball at this point, or worse, advertising), but the problem I see with both articles is that there isn't really much of a biography, the only sourced content more or less being his kidney issues. --~2026-17295-82 (talk) 10:58, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
- Keep:His Lord of the Flies role is extremely significant (lead role, now Emmy-predicted for 2026 - the series came out this year so you can't have awards won yet but they are predicted) and his next role is as lead of a multi Academy-award winning director's film, huge studio, and predicted to be itself Academy Award nominated. Its set for release in November (according to The Hollywood Reporter). He is absoloutely notable for those two roles and from what I can see he has signficant coverage. Also, the smaller-roled actors in Lord of the Flies (e.g. Lox Pratt who does not have a film role upcoming as McKenna does) has a standalone page so certainly McKenna's should be kept. ~2026-17041-93 (talk) 10:58, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:ENT and WP:OUTCOMES. "The person has had significant roles in multiple" shows is what we require - not just one, unless an actor "has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment." We have frequently deleted the articles about child actors. Mike McGovern, the Star of Little Nemo? Deleted without even a debate. Danny Webb? Deleted. Gary Kielty? Deleted. Many more examples exist, although a few similar articles were deleted as too soon, but re-created later. Bearian (talk) 15:16, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- Keep I mean sure there is an argument for WP:TOOSOON but I believe this falls under WP:IAR as what is the point in deleting an articles that will be remade in 3-4 months. Already had a major role in a hit TV show and is set to play the lead in an upcoming movie from a popular franchise. Surely the fact that he's gained 20,000 pageviews as an unreviewed Wikipedia page that doesn't show up on Google shows that he has enough notability/interest. The point of Wikipedia is to share information about notable subject. Clearly there is enough interest in this subject if 20k people are searching him on Wikipedia alone. Rickyc123 (talk) 23:04, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- Draftify but mostly just because it's WP:TOOSOON this kid seems like he is going to be notable very soon so I don't think it makes sense to delete. Agnieszka653 (talk) 01:53, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

- Redirect to Lord of the Flies (TV series) as the vehicle for the subject's only notable role so far. Tag redirect as {{R with possibilities}} on the basis that the subject may well meet WP:NACTOR once Narnia: The Magician's Nephew is released.

- The disagreement here is about WP:COMMONSENSE:
Being too wrapped up in rules can cause a loss of perspective, so there are times when it is better to ignore a rule. ... Our goal is to improve Wikipedia so that it better informs readers.
The perspectives of people interested in this article differ about the best way in which Wikipedia can inform our readers. The Wikipedia WP:NGO guideline can be updated later to better describe the outcomes of discussions like these, motivated by improving Wikipedia to best inform our readers, if needed. WP:SIGCOV makes it easier to establish human-rights NGO notability, but may not be strictly needed in all cases. Boud (talk) 15:28, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- The disagreement here is about WP:COMMONSENSE:
- Keep per above as well as past discussion.--Ronnnaldo7 (talk) 05:38, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- Keep. The relevant guideline (not policy) is WP:NGO. Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. Human rights NGOs are not corporations nor local sports clubs; both sourcing and notability are qualitatively different for many reasons. WP:SIGCOV is a parameter seen as likely to be needed to achieve consensus for editors discussing articles on organisations; but it does not prevent editors from reaching consensus to keep an article if the editorial judgment is that the subject is notable based on the sources. Moreover, WP:NGO includes both
Nationally well-known local organizations
andFactors that have attracted widespread attention
for judging notability; both factors seem reasonably satisfied by the sources.The sources show that this is a Canadian–Iranian NGO, i.e. Canada-based dealing with human rights violations in Iran, i.e. international in scope, which is treated as a notable organisation by: international media (international coverage of ICHR's Human Rights Prize by Iran International); the Canadian federal political system (Zarezadeh testified at the Canadian Senate in his role as head of ICHR, so the Canadian Senate sees ICHR as notable; national coverage by a federal-level Canadian member of parliament); and is seen as a notable source of medical information in a prestigious international medical research journal, the The BMJ (in reference to ICHR's 43k count for the 2026 Iran massacres protester death toll; and indirectly by the Canadian media via its current director Ardeshir Zarezadeh who gets to write about Iran human rights in Canadian national news media, referring in each case to his role as ICHR director. (The WP-notable person Ahmad Batebi is apparently the current spokesperson and recently testified at the UN Security Council without direct reference to IHRC; his personal notability is only relevant in the sense that IHRC has a notable spokesperson, who is notable on the same topic as IHRC's topic.)Overall, there is coverage that is national, international, and medical, and from a variety of sources that are sufficiently independent from one another, showing that the organisation isnationally well-known
andhas attracted [a fair amount of] attention
(not necessarily "widespread"; The BMJ is international and well-respected, but the particular article's use of the ICHR estimate is not top headline news). Keeping in mind that WP:NGO is a guideline, not a bureaucratic rule to be followed, it makes sense to accept ICHR as sufficiently notable to keep the article. This hasn't changed since the previous AFD. Boud (talk) 15:05, 20 March 2026 (UTC)- As he's the director, articles written by Ardeshir Zarezadeh obviously don't constitute independent coverage & can't be used to show notability. Coverage primarily about Ardeshir Zarezadeh ≠ significant coverage of ICHR. The organization doesn't automatically inherit his notability, so at most you've presented an argument for Ardeshir Zarezadeh to have an article, not ICHR.
- Of the sources you've presented, the only ones that explicitly support ICHR's notability is the Iran International article about a humanitarian award they gave & being cited in an opinion piece from the BMJ. This is not enough independent coverage to constitute a distinct article for the organization & I find your response to WP:SIGCOV issues so far having been to suggest changing the relevant guidelines unconvincing.
- It's fine if we can't find enough independent coverage of ICHR, it doesn't mean they're unreliable & it doesn't mean they can't be covered in other relevant articles, it just means we don't have enough to justify an entire separate article. Butterscotch Beluga (talk) 18:44, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

MetallurgistBoud gives compelling arguments but obviously draws conclusions based on his own opinion: "(i)t does not prevent editors from reaching consensus to keep an article if the editorial judgment is that the subject is notable based on the sources
, but it's not; and: "(M)oreover, WP:NGO includes both Nationally well-known local organizations and Factors that have attracted widespread attention for judging notability; both factors seem reasonably satisfied by the sources
", but they don't.--౪ Santa ౪99° 20:04, 23 March 2026 (UTC) - Comment. Leaning toward procedural keep based on lack of WP:BEFORE search and recency of first AfD nomination just a month ago. NB: Cursory Wikipedia Library search turns up another similarly named organization based in Canada called the "International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development". Yes, there are multiple reasons finding the right sources is a slog but that in itself is not a reason for deletion. Cielquiparle (talk) 05:57, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. Arguments to keep are more numerous by far, but much weaker with respect to policy. There are many bare assertions of notability that lack evidence. The arguments raised by those advocating for a merger or a redirection haven't been addressed substantively. Given recent news coverage, I don't see this discussion reaching a consensus, so I am ending it early, with no prejudice to subsequent renomination. I will note that outright deletion doesn't appear tenable; the choices are between a redirect, a merger, and a standalone article. Vanamonde93 (talk) 16:48, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

Moving on to Illinois, here we have a station stop on a rail line that died relatively early but which still shows as a faint trace on GMaps. Mr. Black died here, and there is/was a farm just down the road, But I don't see any evidence here on any map that there was anything beyond maybe a station and passing siding, and there's no sign of anything at all on aerials. So not a notable settlement, or even a settlement at all. Mangoe (talk) 14:13, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

This article should be deleted. The references are wholly unreliable and there are no more articles to be found. Very few of the statements in the original article are verifiable, e.g. there is no record that he was accepted by the Royal Institute of British Architects. There is no record of him building any buildings, either in the UK or Ghana--he renovated houses. Indeed, there is nothing to prove that he was an architect at all. As a "political activist", there is no record of accomplishments in his endeavours. This article was written by one of his friends and should be removed. LJA123 (talk) 08:12, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

- Firstly I'm not sure what connections the company has to the British Airways/Magecart breach you're talking about, it was not mentioned in the article anywhere nor could I find anything other than posts by the CEO here and here. This is still not WP:SIGCOV.
- For the record the source analysis table generator wasn't working for me for whatever reason:
- References:
- https://www.cio.com/video/3952855/c-side-protects-websites-from-third-party-script-attacks-enhances-browser-security.html - Not reliable or independent. It specifically states the source is a marketing outlet.
- https://cside.com/about - Company's own page.
- https://www.securityweek.com/c-side-emerges-from-stealth-mode-with-1-7-million-investment/ - Not independent, as stated here it is a marketing agency: https://advertise.securityweek.com/info, and has no ethics policy.
- https://www.securityweek.com/c-side-raises-6-million-to-secure-the-browser-supply-chain/ - Same as above
- https://www.csoonline.com/article/2505496/formerly-legitimate-polyfill-io-domain-abused-to-serve-malicious-code.html - Independent but the subject only has a passing mention.
- https://www.scworld.com/brief/campaign-exploits-outdated-wordpress-sites-to-spread-password-stealing-malware - Not reliable, unclear editorial ethics code. Subject does gets a moderate amount of mention in the TechCrunch article it's based on (https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/29/hackers-are-hijacking-wordpress-sites-to-push-windows-and-mac-malware/), and probably the only thing here that comes close to sigcov.
- https://www.wired.com/story/north-korea-stole-your-tech-job-ai-interviews/ - Reliable, but not sigcov. Again, the company itself only gets a passing mention. This incident has affected many tech companies not just this one.
- https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2025/05/14/ontmaskeringnoordkoreaansecyberoperatie/ - Probably reliable but again, the article barely focuses on the company itself.
- External links:
- https://www.darkreading.com/cybersecurity-operations/c-side-lands-6m-to-combat-rising-browser-supply-chain-attacks - Not independent, it is tagged as a press release.
- https://siliconangle.com/2024/09/16/c-side-raises-6m-prevent-supply-chain-attacks-securing-third-party-scripts/ - Questionable reliability, webpage has some insane puffery and no clear ethics code. The article also comes with AI slop.
- https://www.pcmag.com/news/hulu-100k-websites-may-be-exposed-javascript-polyfill-domain-malware - Reliable but company is mentioned in passing.
- https://thehackernews.com/2024/06/over-110000-websites-affected-by.html - Only passing mention.
- https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/25/polyfillio_china_crisis/ - Only passing mention.

- Thanks for the detailed reply, this is really helpful and exactly what was needed to have a productive conversation.
- On Baways.com - you're right, there is no independent coverage of their ownership. I know them because of the Baways.com domain as it became a bit of cyber security meme and when I bumped into them again after they released the MSclairty intel I felt it was fair to give them some credit. Noted and fair point. I've left that part out. Companies often do press releases for outlets to rewrite them and release them. I understand your perspective but that does not mean that outlets didn't execute editorial review on them or went through a fact-checking process. These points are easily fixable.
- Keep
- Points worth contesting:
- The nomination relies on an incomplete source review and mischaracterizes at least one of the sources it does cite.
- On the Wired article, I strongly disagree. The piece opens and closes with Simon Wijckmans and cside's security findings. Cside is the central figure of this article throughout. I strongly advice that anyone voting here to actually have a quick read. It is a factually incorrect characterization to call it a 'passing mention'. The Journalist mentioned that he joined calls with cside job applicants. The article is built around the investigation that the journalist executed together with cside.
- Your comment regarding the TechCrunch piece as 'probably the only thing here that comes close to sigcov' is an acknowledgement that at least one strong independent source exists. Since the edit further independent security analyst coverage was added. Together with the Wired Article, ESG, Intelyx, TheHackerNews, PCMag, TheRegister, Forbes, VRT and Mediahuis there is plenty of independent coverage.
- On SecurityWeek, CIO.com, SCWorld: the existence of an advertising sales page does not disqualify a prublication's editorial content under WP:RS. For example, SecurityWeek, CIO.com, TechRadar and many of the other mentioned publications has bylined reporters and a dedicated editorial staff and is routinely accepted as a reliable source in cybersecurity related AfDs and at WP:RSN. Accepting this categorization would require prior community consensus - and if approved would have impact on many cybersecurity related pages on this platform.
- Since the nomination further work has taken place to implement irrefutable independent sources like Forbes, Intellyx, ESG - since part of TechTarget...
- It is also worth noting that by definition security threat intelligence mentions the researchers, either by name or by business, in passing as the prime subject is the exposed vulnerability or incident. Sources like TechRadar and BleepingComputer are industry standard independent outlets and will mention the sources by name but the entire article is built on the research that a party provides.
- The article clearly has gaps but the article is improvable. The correct approach is citation improvement and further edits to add relevant context. Not deletion. The Forbes recognition, the Wired article, the mentions in TechCrunch, TechRadar provide ample coverage for the notability threshold. WP:IMPROVE is a crucially important policy. By pushing back on new pages based on personal opinions and loose terms like 'barely' and dismissing the basis of a story 'a passing mention' or 'I could not find' you discourage the community to contribute. Please feel free to make edits, but AfD should be kept as a last resort. Try to fix problems or flag them if you can. Be helpful: explain. Perhaps flagging an article for AfD when "the table generator wasn't working" can wait until you can generate a table so that your comments are detailed, actionable and understandable.

- The Wired article tells me very little about the company (called "C.side" in the article) that "addresses the topic directly and in detail". This is not significant coverage. 🌊PacificDepths (talk | contrib) 10:00, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete: I don't see any sources in the article or on Google that would pass the notability guidelines for corporations. The articles here seem to be mentions without significant coverage, routine coverage, or in trade publications that don't meet the audience requirements. @Swagmansonsec, I suggest you read them and then come back here with your top sources (see the essay WP:THREE) that you feel demonstrate notability. Reviewers here don't want to have to go through ten sources. IF there are good sources let's see a few. I don't think Techcrunch or Wired article provides significant coverage. 🌊PacificDepths (talk | contrib) 10:00, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

— Duplicate !vote: Swagmansonsec (talk • contribs) has already cast a !vote above. - I have read the concerns of PacificDepth and SecretSpectre in detail and read their shared guidelines and requirements. PacificDepth, thanks for sharing the WP:THREE guideline, I can see how that makes this an easier conversation. As per your request. - From my understanding and experience WP:SIGCOV requires the subject to be discussed directly and in detail, for which there are many examples.
- NRC "Voor je het weet heb je een Noord-koreaan aangenomen als It'er" https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/08/07/sollicitant-frank-chang-zit-helemaal-niet-in-texas-en-spreekt-engels-met-een-koreaans-accent-2-a4902369 Cside and its founder are the central subject in this long form investigative feature which includes a cside organized interview with a North Korean actor where the journalist Marloes De Koning was present. The article goes into detail on the internal operations, the technical methods used to detect them at length. Significant - the subject is addressed at length, cside is the leading figure and in detail. Independent and Reliable NRC is the local equivalent of the NYT in the Netherlands. And it counts as Secondary source meeting all requirements for
- Wired “North Korea Stole Your Job” https://www.wired.com/story/north-korea-stole-your-tech-job-ai-interviews/ The nomination characterizes this as ‘a passing mention’. That is a factual error. This is a Wired “The Big Story”, their most in depth editorial format, with the founder of cside as the picture. Simon Wijckmans’es name is referenced 19 times, cside once. This is normal, when a CEO of any company is interviewed, the company name may be mentioned 3 times, and the CEO who represents the company plenty more. The company is not a passing mention there either, the same logic applies. In this subject the entire story is built on job applications to cside. Cside is as central here as Wonka in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. The standard of significant coverage is not how often the name of the company is mentioned but instead the source "addresses the topic directly and in detail." which it clearly did. Independent, Reliable, Significant and Secondary source.
- “Vlaamse ondernemer ontmaskert Noord-Koreaanse spionageoperatie” - VRT, Belgians national tax-payer funded press equivalent to the BBC but for Flanders. In this piece the dedicated tech and deep research journalist Tim Verheyden focuses on Cside’s discovery of North Korean job applications. Translated "Flemish entrepreneur unmasks North Korean spy operation."
- Beyond these three: De Morgen, high quality Belgium’s daily newspaper, De Tijd, most significant Belgian business publisher equivalent to the FT but for Belgium. And on top of that Techcrunch, The Hacker News. I understand that press related to funding rounds is not significant, but that makes a job for WP:IMPROVE, not deletion. Many changes have been made since nomination. Strong Keep. Swagmansonsec (talk) 00:46, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Article isn't notable enough to warrant a page of an internal bus shuttle service of a university. Most of the sources are blogs or primary sources with very few mentions by news outlets. Might also propose a merge under facilities of National University of Singapore or similar. ZKang123 (talk · contribs) 11:11, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2026 March 17. —cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 11:34, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete, regardless of sources, there are some subjects that are hardly the material for an encyclopedia. There must be tens of thousands of organisations, including many universities, that offer some sort of shuttle bus service between bits of themselves, or other places their users/students/employees want to go. This is a completely run of the mill thing to happen. At the very least, the article would have to be moved to a title specifying which internal shuttle bus you're talking about. But in a university, we very often don't even consider individual academic departments notable independent of the university itself; regarding their internal bus service as independently notable would take something truly extraordinary. Elemimele (talk) 11:45, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete most of the sources are orange/yellow and one red one, showing marginal to unacceptable notability... This reads as an advertisement for what amounts to a shuttle service, offered at pretty much any campus/airport/education institution/large factory complex. I guess with decent sourcing, there could be something here, but beyond basic name drops or DICDEF, I don't see much online that we could use to build an article here with.

- Redirect to Hawkman, where this identity is described in depth. The alias of Hawkman is likely notable, but I doubt Hall is individually notable of the wider identity. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 03:43, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
- Keep Portrayed by Aldis Hodge in Black Adam (2022), generating independent film coverage and analysis. 85-year publication history (1940). Screen Rant and other outlets covered the character's film adaptation in depth. Article needs reception/analysis added per WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM, not deletion. Sparks19923 (talk) 09:39, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Sparks19923 Valnet sources cannot be used to show notability per Wikipedia:VALNET. Just because a character appeared in a film does not mean they are instantly notable, and a smattering of situational sources or ROUTINE coverage would not dispel that notion. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 01:23, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
- Fair point on WP:VALNET; I withdraw the Screen Rant cite and I'm not relying on Valnet for notability.
- The question is whether the character meets WP:GNG / WP:NFC via significant, independent reliable coverage beyond routine cast/plot mentions. There is at least some such coverage: The Hollywood Reporter ran a substantial feature discussing the character's publication history and significance, not just the film appearance (Graeme McMillan, "The Many Lives of 'Black Adam' Hero Hawkman").
- I've also located an EBSCO Research Starters background/reference entry (Hawkman (character)), which may be useful for basic context but I agree it should not be treated as strong evidence of independent notability on its own.
- I'll add these (and continue looking for additional non-Valnet independent coverage) and expand Reception/Analysis accordingly. If, after that pass, the sourcing is still mostly routine/trivial, I'd support a redirect/merge to Hawkman per the suggestion above. Sparks19923 (talk) 01:33, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Sparks19923 Both of these are about the Hawkman identity, largely, and discuss Hall as part of that identity. Most of this is just discussing the evolution of the role overtime, rather than putting significant discussion of Hall separately from Hawkman (Wikipedia:SIGCOV). This seems very much a Wikipedia:NOPAGE situation. Why split Hall out when he's only notable as being one of the identities of Hawkman, and is only discussed within the context of Hawkman's wider history?
- Hawkman is definitely notable, but is Hall independently notable of Hawkman? My wager is probably not. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 04:23, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
- Keep per the claims that were made by @Sparks19923: or merge with Hawkman in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. Is the person who nominated this page going to go after Katar Hol for AFD as well? --Rtkat3 (talk) 02:49, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect/Merge with Hawkman page. Since I had last edited the Hawkman page, I felt pretty confident you could merge both versions of the character into the page and treat it as a immortal warrior reincarnating multiple times. Unlike the Kendra version, which her story includes distancing and being more independent form her past lives, Hawkman in general has consistencies and addressing descrepancies is not out of the question.

- Redirect to Hawkman - Already sufficiently covered at the article on the main topic.

- I tried to find old, small, cricket stubs with this Petscan, but I'm rusty with Petscan and for some reason it isn't obeying the 'older than' constraint, but the results are still interesting. Examining the eight articles shows a mixed bag, with some of them having references pointing to other Wikipedia articles, and others to sources with passing mentions about a final score in some match. I learned from that search that some cricket clubs go back to the mid-18th century, and although that is interesting, I don't know if age alone is sufficient to establish notability. If there is no standalone notability for the older clubs, maybe they could be redirected to a section in the History of cricket dealing with early clubs, and list them there. Mathglot (talk) 19:59, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
- I think Bromley, Epsom, Greenwich, and Westminster probably have notability because of their historic status. They were all important clubs in the 18th century, especially Bromley which was Robert Colchin's club. I'm not sure about the South African Army team, but the British Army team seems to be acceptable. South Northumberland and Tynemouth are certainly minor, I think, and I'd support those being redirected to a suitable list.

The result was keep. There is consensus here that the individual meets WP:NPROF. The main argument for deletion is concerns relating to considerable WP:COI contributions.

- If this is your reasoning, then I have a fairly serious question: given that the page was created by Micael Engel, and all of the substantive edits and additions to it were contributed by Michael Engel, aren't you giving a green light to any editor who decides that they are notable, and take steps to maintain therir own self-edited article without interference via anonymous IP edits? This article has been flagged - appropriately, given what WHOIS says about the IP edits - as a COI issue for over fifteen years. Why was it not deleted long ago? Again, if the only reason you are voting to keep is because the article has not been deleted yet, that does not seem appropriate for a self-created and self-edited article. Dyanega (talk) 14:49, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- It's simply not true that "all of the substantive edits and additions to it were contributed by Michael Engel" -- see January 2023 for example. Athel cb (talk) 17:04, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, the edits in January 2023 are a good example. All of these were changes to existing text, mostly providing citations, not the addiion of new material. Fixing a bad or broken citation is not a substantive edit, it is routine maintenance. That list of eponyms was added in edits by Engel himself, nearly always via the anonymous IP addresses in Kansas. Prior to that January 2023 set of edits, several eponyms had been added in a spate of edits June of 2022, from a dial-up in Miami, when Engel was attending the meeting of the Florida Entomological Society (see this edit history). Coincidence? Note the content and targets of all of those edits. Is it odd that no one ever suggested the article be deleted back then? Maybe, but I don't see how that justifies letting COI abuse be "grandfathered in" just because no one called for deletion before. Dyanega (talk) 17:38, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Dyanega (talk) 14:49, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Keep. Regardless of who created the article and who subsequently edited it, the GoogleScholar record is very impressive. h = 70 is a lot for an entomologist. (It would be very respectable, though not stupendous, for a biochemist, a subject I know more about, but it is more than just respectable in a lower-citation field.) Notice also that a high proportion of the well cited papers have one or two authors, so it's pretty clear that he did much or most of the work. A curious point that I noticed is that the editor who now wants the article deleted made a series of eleven edits in January 2023 with no suggestion that it should be deleted. Athel cb (talk) 17:01, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- It should be noted that a notable portion of the later papers in the CV are published though a journal that Engel personally started and served as chief editor of, removing the peer-review portion of the science entirely. Actively avoiding peer-review to increase the paper count is not a good situation.--Kevmin § 17:24, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- The highest number of citations is for a Cambridge University Press book, and the highly-cited articles are in journals including PNAS and Nature. In this situation, I don't see how his also publishing in a journal he edited affects the determination of notability (particularly since we don't even need to look at C1). Nor do I think that publishing in a journal one co-founded is necessarily unethical. If it's the Journal of Melittology you mean, everyone's status seems to be declared above board. His papers from the period when he was chief editor say that he was chief editor (for example). It's not substantially different from having a departmental newsletter or posting notes on one's own faculty website, only it's packaged as a journal for convenience. Maybe that's shady, maybe not; it's up to the scientists in that field to determine whether they're using that journal to push bad papers.

- Keep Passes WP:PROF on two criteria (C3 and C5) independent of citations. The existing text isn't so bad that problems with it can't be fixed through ordinary cleanup. Stepwise Continuous Dysfunction (talk) 20:28, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Unsure I don't think there is an issue of notability as an academic taxonomist. He was co-author on Evolution of Insects and has papers in major journals. If the article was written by neutral editors, there would be no problem. But it wasn't. I think the issue of COI with a large number of IP edits is a major problem, which doesn't go away just because it's being going on so long. A long history of COI doesn't make it less of an issue. It seems that keeping the article would be rewarding the violation of COI rules, although the article is not unacceptable. Keeping the article does add something to the encyclopaedia (hence keep), but overlooking violations of the rules doesn't help the credibility of Wikipedia (hence delete). — Jts1882 | talk 09:55, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- I'm similarly of two minds on this but it does seem as though punishing the article for the sins of the author, so to speak, may be at odds with the policy intent. If the article meets the criteria for inclusion (subject to cleanup / depuffery) then surely the conversation should be about whether sanctions on the COI editor/IP are appropriate - which would be a discussion for another venue. YFB ¿ 21:44, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- Also Unsure and for the same reasons Jts1882 gives; the notability issue is a bit of a distraction, but I'll say that he is not more notable than a large number of other entomologists who have no entry in Wikipedia at all. Yes, I know quite well that this is not how things work, and it's a logical fallacy. "Person X has a Wikipedia article, but person Y is more notable and does not" is, all things being equal, a terrible argument. The difference here is that the only reason this particular person HAS a Wikipedia article is because he created it, and maintained it, and added to it for a very long time. In other words, all things are NOT equal here. This brings me to a question that I hope someone can answer: is it possible to permanently block an article from anonymous edits? If Engel cannot be prevented from anonymously editing this article, then I would vote to delete it rather than allow him to continue to do so; if a block CAN be instituted, then I would vote to keep. Dyanega (talk) 15:40, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Dyanega: Yes it is possible, the article would need to be at least semi-protected to prevent new or unregistered users from editing it (see Wikipedia:Protection policy). Monster Iestyn (talk) 16:00, 18 March 2026 (UTC)
- Keep My first AfD, but i think that Engle has enough reason to keep around. Even if the meat puppetry is problematic, with some work by 3rd party editors the article can be cleaned up and stay. He seems to full fill WP:PROF in plently of aspects. I'd agree with Dyanega that protection could be instituted on the article to prevent IP edits, considering we don't know for certain that there is a COI, this would likely help confirm it. Plus, the article is relatively well written, bountifully sourced and his contributions to his field seem to be notable. FranticSpud (talk) 12:34, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

- P.S. The "Caregiver's Story" and legislative committee websites do not contribute to notability, because they are primary sources. Also, I first testified before the New York State Assembly at the age of 24; it's run of the mill. Bearian (talk) 14:56, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete Based on the biography, the only realistic claim to notability is WP:NAUTHOR, but those outlets that have some coverage of her writing are not reliable enough, WP:HUFFPOCON and WP:WASHINGTONTIMES. Kelob2678 (talk) 18:03, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

There are serious issues with this page and seem to have been for almost two decades. It is unclear whether the subject passes notability. It seems as though WP:AUTHOR would apply most obviously here, but other than writing a large quantity of books, they don't seem like a significant body of work. In searching for independent sources to establish notability more generally, it doesn't seem as though there are any other than sites affiliated with his particular religious sect, and no news articles from reputable sources.

Nominating this for deletion on behalf of User:Readwritehistory. The original talk page message gave this reason: This biography is non-notable and a lot of the content lists the subject's non-profit as the citation.
