Actions in support of Azerbaijan in Iran (2020)

POV fork of 2020 Azerbaijani protests / July 2020 Armenian–Azerbaijani clashes / Second Nagorno-Karabakh War. This was previously nominated and the discussion was... unusual. Largely slanted towards deletion until a sudden influx of keep votes by Azerbaijani editors. The keep arguments were rather repetitive and highlighted the number of sources present without much regard for their quality. It was pointed out early on that many are of dubious reliability, if not blatant government propaganda. I'm sure that some content related to this would have a place on Wikipedia, but it would be nothing close to what's currently here. Even in this scenario, little if any of what actually exists here could be salvaged, and in any case, there's no clear reason it should exist as its own article. The protests discussed here stem from two separate events in 2020 and it's not clear that those that specifically happened in Iran are widely discussed as a group outside of the context of the conflicts themselves or at least the actions of Azerbaijanis / members of the Azerbaijani diaspora as a whole. The few decent sources that came up during the discussion mainly focused on how the two conflicts affected the overall relationship between Iran and Azerbaijan (which would seem to be a perfectly fine topic). Again, this is clearly a POV fork in that sense; it is framed in such a way as to maximize criticism of Iran and minimize discussion of Azerbaijan's conduct in the conflict. — An anonymous username, not my real name 00:19, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Support: What an unusual article. It's still got a POV issue template since the previous nomination for deletion, and I can see why. I honestly get the feeling that the entire article is synthesizing a notable event. It's an extensive article with a supposed 177 sources, which at a first glance gives the impression of notability, yet when you look at it a bit further it starts to come apart. I cannot find a single citation to an article in English by a reputable source focusing on this supposed notable popular movement. While I'm sure there has been some tensions between Azeris in Iran and the Iranian government, and that could perhaps be mentioned in one of the other articles, I don't see how this is a notable topic in and of itself. Considering all of this, and knowing the history of this topic area, I think it's a safe bet to say that this article is a heavily POV-driven endeavour. If this was actually notable the citations should be full of contemporary English news reports, but there isn't a single one. ―Maltazarian ^{(talk $\lor$ investigate)} 14:39, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Article totally unsourced since creation in 2006, two decades ago! Topic is a convention that fails notability. The only independent sources turned up on wp:BEFORE were wp:passing mentions and a routine short news announcement of the convention being held in a particular place. Most of the information in the article is unverifiable even from the sources that I was able to find. There is just not enough here to satisfy notability or a standalone article. A previous deletion discussion from 15 years ago resulted in keep primarily because the nominator had mass nominated several conventions without making a good case in policy, and did not resolve the underlying notability problem of this article.

Did you look into the sources found on the last AfD, including 'Amazing stories: Volumes 52-53 Isaac Asimov's science fiction magazine: Volume 14, Issues 4-6 (if it is good enough for Asimov it is good enough for me) Screenwriter's & Playwright's Market have a nice write up on it as well"? SenshiSun (talk) 21:03, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Isaac Asimov's science fiction magazine: Volume 14, Issues 4-6 by which they presumably mean 1 note in a SF Con Calendar in issue 5 only (I can't see any mention in the other two)
Screenwriter's & Playwright's Market, they don't specify which version (and I can't find easy access online) but from the previews I can find it doesn't look like its the sort of work that gives nice write up[s] on the things it includes. Its mainly a catalogue dealing with things like contact-information, addresses, etc. Perhaps the version they were looking at was different.
Amazing stories: Volumes 52-53, Again no idea which volume/issue they are referring to. The only issue from vol. 52-53 on IA doesn't include it. Based on the other sources they provided I'd be willing to bet that whatever it was wasn't WP:SIGCOV.

Despite lack of access, from what I can see, these seem to have been pasted in from a search with no regard for there contents and whether it met WP:SIGCOV. Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 09:26, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Conversion of non-Hindu places of worship into temples

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I believe the article severely violates all P&Rs. Some of those are below: Synthesis of Published Material (WP:SYNTH) & Original Research (WP:OR): It mixes different contexts together and creates a completely new narrative which doesn't exist in reality. Some examples are: Incidents in the USA, Canada, and the UK where abandoned churches bought by Hindus and made into Hindu temples are shown as "conversion". It is a natural process. Plus, it includes incidents of some changes in religious structures during political upheavals in antiquity and the Middle Ages. This means showing completely different incidents under the same umbrella term. False Equivalence and violates Neutral Point of View (WP:NPOV): The listicle presents politically sensitive incidents like the Babri Mosque as equivalent to real estate acquisitions like buying unused churches. It confuses readers and violates NPOV. Then comes the Coatrack Article (WP:COATRACK): At the end of the article, in the See Also section, it has links to Anti-mosque campaigning in India and Saffronisation, which clearly indicates that the purpose of the article isn't encyclopedic, but rather spreading ideological and political bias. So, it can be considered a coatrack article for an agenda. Also, Indiscriminate Collection of Information (WP:INDISCRIMINATE): Conversion of non-Hindu places of worship into temples is unclear. The article has no specific focus. It covers everything from ancient Buddhist/Jain periods to general legal property transactions in the 21st century. So, per the rules of WP:SYNTH, WP:OR, WP:NPOV, WP:COATRACK, and WP:INDISCRIMINATE, it is completely deletable. Tendonlol (talk) 16:14, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Keep per WP:NLIST. The page has a navigational value. The topic was also covered in literature, for example, in a chapter titled Old Mosques: Destroyed, Lost and Transformed in Twentieth- and Twenty-first-century India. Kelob2678 (talk) 18:05, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
Your opinion clearly indicates you have not read the rules, or, maybe, what I have written. Per the rule of WP:NLIST, a list must have navigational value, and every item must fall under a coherent subject. Buying an unused 1920s church and putting medieval temple conversions on the same list does not create navigational value, but violates another rule because there is no specific logical boundary between the title and the content of the article.

Plus, "Old Mosques: Destroyed, Lost and Transformed in Twentieth- and Twenty-first-century India" talks about the 20th and 21st centuries Indian Mosques. This is not an universally praised or well-renowned book. The scope of the article is very broad, including medieval mosques as well as Christian churches, medieval Buddhist monasteries, and Jain temples, which are from completely different historical and geographical contexts. It is controversial and original research. Plus some claims aren't supported by cited sources, and some are synthesized. Having a source on a subject does not mean events from completely different things can be combined to create a Global List. This misrepresentation can be called a category error.

This article is nothing but a synthetic narrative. Thinking A + B must be C, where A and B are facts is foolish to make such arguments unless a reliable source directly discusses this C or the overall issue. This C is an artificial concept.

Converting a bought abandoned church in America or London into a temple is not a religious conflict or conversion, is a real estate acquisition. This is common sense. Yet, it is shown in the same list as the transformations resulting from historical wars. This is contrary to the rule of neutral point of view, and is likely a hoax as well. Tendonlol (talk) 19:46, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
Please be more concise. The source I provided shows that we can have an article titled "list of mosques converted into temples". If we can have similar sources for other places of worship, I see no reason to have separate articles instead of a unified one. Regarding US churches, I also don't see why they are included and would support their removal, but this is not a reason to delete. Kelob2678 (talk) 20:56, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
You agreed that the examples of churches should be removed, which means the article has structural entropy. The main basis of the article is a synthetic premise; therefore, applying WP:TNT (Blow it up and start over) is the most reasonable course of action. Instead of patchwork, it is better to delete it and later create a new article under a separate and correct scope based on a specific source, for example, 'List of mosques converted into temples'.

Let me elaborate. As I have already mentioned twice, the sociological, geographical, and political reasons behind these events range from ancient Buddhist monasteries and mosques during medieval conflicts to modern-day legal 'Real Estate Acquisitions' in Western countries (which you also agree to exclude). Ultimately, there is no existing source which unifies the incidents of mosques, Buddhist sites, churches, and Jain temples. Combining different discrete variables into one analytical vessel is a violation of WP:SYNTH. Tendonlol (talk) 21:43, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
There is no need for TNT, that section can be easily removed. Lists on Wikipedia are usually somewhat synthetic, I don't think that this one stands out. Kelob2678 (talk) 23:06, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
Removing that section won't change the title of the article (Conversion of non-Hindu places of worship into temples). There will then only have mosque-related incidents, whereas the title means the article can contain everything across all times, places, contexts.

Since the primary basis of the article is an artificial construct and have not a single academic source, removing that section will be a localized patch for a systemic error because it is an entirely original research and an original survey. I see no alternative to WP:TNT. I think TNT is the only policy-compliant logical path here. I do not understand how your argument will salvage the article. The article is not only entirely original research, but some information is not supported by the cited references. So, I think partial removal is a structurally failed way in this case, and the only viable path is TNT. Tendonlol (talk) 08:45, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
Keep. @Tendonlol: you have written

The listicle presents politically sensitive incidents like the Babri Mosque as equivalent to real estate acquisitions like buying unused churches.

Why is it a problem to be including both cases? Why do you think this article argues for an equivalence between the two? Would you prefer that in the lede of this article it was mentioned that it lists both forced conversions and unused places of worship being bought and reused as Hindu temples? Yuyutsu Ho (talk) 18:48, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

I understand what you are saying. The problems with this article in its current scope are structural, which isn't fixable by introductory disclaimer. Why is this so? Showing historically sensitive socio-political incidents like Babri Mosque and legal processes like the buying unused abandoned church in America under the same structural umbrella of 'Conversion into Hindu Temples' forces an idea of equivalence on the reader.

Lumping all incidents together creates an artificial narrative like global Hindu expansionism or reconquest. Unless there is any reliable source that shows medieval forced conversion and modern Western real estate purchases to be part of the same socio-religious phenomenon, their conflation is an example of WP:COATRACK.

Regarding your point about disclaimer in the lead there are both 'forced conversions' and 'unused places being bought', I think putting a disclaimer in the lead does not make a polyphyletic and synthetic list valid. If a disclaimer is needed to explain why they are in the same article meaning the events are so unrelated, then that means keeping all in the same article isn't right. A disclaimer in the lead is like a cosmetic patch on a structurally flawed foundation. These disparate categories should not be kept under a synthetic umbrella. To say nothing of WP:OR, WP:NPOV, WP:COATRACK, and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Tendonlol (talk) 21:30, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Delete - Fails WP:NLIST and WP:LISTCRIT. Seems the "grouping" criteria used is "any non-Hindu place of worship that later became a Hindu temple" - it does not seem to be a grouping discussed in reliable sources which raises concerns for OR/SYNTH as noted in nom. The article combines distinct topics e.g. mosque/temple disputes in India, real estate purchases of church buildings by Hindu communities in Western countries, archaeological interpretations of earlier Buddhist sites, Jain sites becoming Hindu sites. Per WP:NLIST ("is based on the group ... has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources") and WP:LISTCRIT ("criteria should be unambiguous, objective, and supported by reliable sources. Avoid original or arbitrary criteria that would synthesize a list that is not plainly verifiable in reliable sources"), this grouping is not supported for a standalone list. Asteramellus (talk) 23:55, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
Delete as an incoherent mess and a consequent failure of NLIST. This list conflates some very different phenomena; the forcible conversion of some places of worship into temples, of which there's a bare handful of examples; the gradual conversion over centuries of some temples, which is not treated as a coherent topic by sources; and the purchase of new property for conversion into Hindu temples, which is trivia. Certainly these are not discussed together, and the list as it stands has no meaningful scope. Vanamonde93 (talk) 02:54, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Harry Pettit

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I think this a failure of both WP:PROF and WP:BLP1E. Their citation record is pretty weak and there is no evidence of them passing any of the other PROF criteria, and essentially all news coverage of them is from mid 2025 onwards about them making controversial remarks and actions primarily about the Israel-Gaza conflict and then subsequently leaving their academic lecturing job as a result and then failing to get another job. Leaving a job as a result for making controversial remarks about the Israel-Gaza conflict seems pretty unremarkable and not something of long-term encyclopaedic significance, and there's not really any evidence in my view that Pettit is notable as an activist per se. While one might draw a comparison to David Miller (sociologist), Pettit has far less prominence for his academic work than Miller does. The article has been subject to a complaint apparently by the subject's mother on the BLPN noticeboard: Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Harry_Pettit:_Attack_page, which has also questioned his notability, so I think this can reasonably be considered a WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE.

All sources listed have been properly archived and are still accessible, so the fact that the Radboud (not Radbound) university doesn't have this information on its current website (again, this makes sense, this person was fired from this institution) is irrelevant.Vlaemink (talk) 10:24, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
Keep. One of the most debated people in the Netherlands. Huge amounts of coverage. Easy pass of the GNG. Referencing here would come in long lists of articles per media channel, not in single articles as we see elsewhere. BLP1E does not apply to many events. Common mistake. gidonb (talk) 21:27, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
WP:NOTNEWS Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion... What you have to consider is, if you were looking back on this article from 5 to 10 years from now, and the current coverage was all that exists, would this person demonstrate long-term significance? As is, it seems like a fail of WP:SUSTAINED beyond the current controversy over his remarks. He seems likely to fade into obscurity in the medium term, and I don't think BLPs of subjects who are only notable for relatively brief controversies is a good idea. I think the controversy would be better covered as a paragraph in the Radboud University Nijmegen and Academic_freedom#Netherlands articles rather than as a standalone BLP. Hemiauchenia (talk) 21:43, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Oh the coverage is absolutely WP:SUSTAINED. Over years already. WP:NOTNEWS doesn't apply by any standard or stretch of the imagination. The idea that former university teachers can only be notable if they also meet WP:PROF is extremely stiff. Former professors can be notable for anything: activists, politicians, criminals, authors, artists. Literally anything. Pettit is known for activism. He is not different from other activists on Wikipedia. Only better known. gidonb (talk) 22:00, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Lists of sources by channel: Algmeen Dagblad list, De Gelderlander list, Het Laatste Nieuws list, NOS list, De Telegraaf list, Trouw list De Volkskrant list. Easy to expand this with magazines, more international. I have no clue if this is a BEFORE failure, IDONTLIKEITT, or how this nomination came about. Will keep it at not well based in fact and policy. This part is classic crystal balling, in blatant contradiction to how the media follow his activism, separation from Radboud, and current job search: "He seems likely to fade into obscurity in the medium term". gidonb (talk) 23:43, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

It's reasonable to open up a deletion discussion if someone associated with the subject opens a thread at BLPN with concerns about the article and questions their notability. Hemiauchenia (talk) 00:50, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

I don't know if it is reasonable. People do it so it might be. It is for sure wasteful of community resources to ask to delete subjects who easily pass the GNG. We are short of attention to the article space. gidonb (talk) 06:04, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

It's reasonable if proper reason are brought up. All that the IP user on BLPNB had to offer was IDONTLIKEIT cleanup, and too many sources being in Dutch, neither of which are deletion reasons. Cortador (talk) 19:43, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

@Vlaemink: The Belgian press also paid Pettit a lot of attention. In this domain I have only added the HLN list above. Belgium has so many other channels. Also NL is not nearly exhausted. Even just by the English-language sources, he completely passes the GNG. This class of !voting looks at references in the article in extreme defiance of WP:NEXIST and other P&G.

Keep. Subject pases the WP:GNG, there is no requirement that the article pass WP:NPROF too (as gidonb noted). WP:BLP1E is not applicable, as there have been multiple events in question that garnered significant coverage (WP:What BLP1E is not applies).

Keep. Easily passes GNG. Whether or not the article passes PROF isn't relevant because notability of academics isn't bound to PROF and PROF alone; they can be notable based on other policies as well. BLP1E doesn't apply either because Pettit has coverage due to a whole host of events, not just one. Major BEFORE failure. Cortador (talk) 19:30, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
I read the NlWiki article in its entirety before opening the AfD and saw the extensive sourcing the article, so I am well aware of the substantial coverage this issue has got in the Netherlands. I disagree that this person has long-term notability even if they have had a substantial burst of coverage over the last year WP:BLP says Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article. I think it is legitimate disagreement rather than a WP:BEFORE failure. Hemiauchenia (talk) 19:41, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

So sometimes people are in the news because they are the partner of someone. In such cases it makes sense not to allow articles under NOTNEWS. A better way to look at such cases is NOTINHERETED. That is entirely different from people who are famous activists, musicians, criminals, footballers or whatever. Claiming randomly that someone in the medium run (a very specific time span!) will suddenly become less of interest is (odd!) crystal balling. We can't know that. If they are famous now and the coverage is sustained then an article is justified. gidonb (talk) 07:54, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

I think the point is we should not expect anything. Whether coverage continues should be irrelevant to the AFD. If coverage drops to zero from today onwards, it should not matter because there is already enough to justify an article. That's why we require there is already sustained coverage before we create articles. We won't have anything new but that's fine since we don't need anything new. (This is actually always a problem in BLPs since even if it article makes clear we're only talking about one point in time, many especially subjects feel it's unfair when things have changed years from now and we don't reflect that. But that's a discussion for another time and place.) If you think there is sustained coverage you should be fine with us keeping the article in such a case. If you think we can only keep an article is coverage continues at current or at least some level then I'd suggest we're not yet at sustained coverage level, only when you feel an article is justified whatever happens. Nil Einne (talk) 02:23, 15 March 2026 (UTC)

Fair point. A person is not an event. Notability is not temporary. gidonb (talk) 15:05, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Delete per BLP1E and WP:ROTM. I'm concerned about this becoming a dangerous precedent, because this is a terrible case. Lots of people get into trouble at work and, since at least 2005, we have been avoiding any defamation against living people. Bearian (talk) 01:38, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

@Bearian: 'Run of the mill'-cases do not get sustained coverage by Dutch national news sources, all of them reputable and trustworthy. There's a difference between getting 'in trouble at work' due to a faux pas, mistake or coincidence and being a (controversial) public political organizer and activist alongside your academic career. Vlaemink (talk) 10:18, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

In my opinion there is no reliable evidence that he is an "organiser" - activist yes, but not organiser. Many people take part in activism. I also feel the article reads like a piece of defamation and was quite shocked by it. For example, the article fails to mention that there was a petition signed by 540 university staff supporting him - names and positions provided. If the article remains it would need a lot of editing. ~2026-16688-54 (talk) 17:35, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

With all due respect, but your opinion does not matter here, reliable and valid sources do. You might personally dispute or refuse to believe that Pettit was an organizer, but this is what reliable and credible sources do state. You are also misinformed on a petition signed by "540 university staff members", the petition you're most likely referring to was in fact signed by 491 people; of which around 200 were linked to the Radboud University, most of them students (the Radboud University has a staff of about 5500 and 25.000 students) . By comparison, a petition calling for Pettits dismissal garnered 12000 signatures within two days. You seem to think that the controversies involving Pettit were some local, minor events. The Netherlands has 18 million inhabitants, it takes a particular amount of effort and notability for people to be openly discussed by ministers, to have questions asked about you in parliament and to be featured on the 8 o'clock news.

==Cricket career==

However, Dole-Williams' husband encouraged her passion for cricket and after getting married and having her first child, at the age of 30, Dole-Williams trained as a cricketer.

Reference this website - https://sussexcricket.co.uk/news/local-coach-nilma-dole-williams-shares-inspiring-story

She has also played in several matches including the T20 Women's League in Sussex for the Brighton and Hove Cricket Club from 2020 to 2022.

Reference play-cricket.com - Access granted only to registered users

There is a profile on Nilma Dole on play-cricket.com

After retiring from playing, Dole-Williams started coaching cricket after she was awarded a bursary from The Sussex Cricket Foundation to do the England and Wales Cricket Board Level 1 cricket coaching qualification.

Reference this website - https://sussexcricket.co.uk/news/local-coach-nilma-dole-williams-shares-inspiring-story

Following qualification as a Level 1 coach, she then became the first female coach of colour at the Brighton and Hove Cricket Club.

In 2022, Cambodia obtained Associate Membership of the International Cricket Council and Dole-Williams set up after-school cricket clubs. With funding from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, she did the England and Wales Cricket Board Level 2 cricket coaching qualification.

From 2024, Dole-Williams coaches cricket at The Canadian International School of Phnom Penh and The Australian International School of Phnom Penh and The Reigate Grammar School Phnom Penh.^{[citation needed]}

https://www.ecb.co.uk/news/3882997/nilma-dole-aims-to-inspire-more-women-coaches-following-her-remarkable-cricket-journey

In 2015, I was honoured to get the opportunity to play for the Peru Women’s cricket team at the Women’s South American Cricket Championships (WSACs) in Chile. The following year, we won the bronze medal at the WSACs in Brazil.

Playing for Peru gave me the chance to learn Spanish, experience Latin American culture, and volunteer for charitable causes. Cricket opened doors for me. It was a guiding light during a difficult time, and it helped me connect with inspirational Peruvian women and girls who believed not only in me, but also themselves.

Today, I’m grateful to Sussex Cricket Club for giving me a bursary to qualify with my Level 1 cricket coaching qualification and thankful to the DSFA (Diplomatic Service Families Association) for supporting me financially through my Level 2 qualification. Adhoc1234 (talk) 06:41, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

In this interview, she states she is the first female coach of colour at the Brighton and Hove cricket club.

So I think it's okay to just let the page be. What do you think?

Q How did you cope with major life transitions like evacuating Nigeria in 2020 and returning to the UK during a global crisis?

Everyone has a covid story and it wasn’t easy being evacuated to the UK after our diplomatic posting to Nigeria. I remember that as long as you maintained social distancing and followed the rules, you could play at your local sports club. This made me join my local club, the Brighton and Hove Cricket Club. I was welcomed by some of the female cricketers but obviously, not all of them as I didn’t look like them. But after they got to know me, I got the chance to play for a few matches, which they call fixtures. During this time, the Sussex Cricket County was also giving bursaries for those from underrepresented groups to coach cricket. I was awarded a bursary to do my Level 1 Cricket coaching course and then became the first female coach of colour at the Brighton and Hove Cricket Club. It was great that young cricketers, especially the girls, would see someone like me as a coach because this was rare. Most coaches were all white men who were much older than me. I was honoured to be able to inspire young female cricketers of colour because even today, there is hardly any diversity in the England Women’s National cricket team even though there is plenty of diversity in their Men’s team. As a result of all my voluntary efforts in cricket, I won the prestigious Diversity and Inclusion in Leadership Scholarship to do my Master in Sport Directorship at the Manchester Metropolitan University. This has been a tremendous support for me to continue my passion to increase female diversity in cricket in the UK. Adhoc1234 (talk) 06:44, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

https://www.thesun.lk/front_page/Journey-of-Nilma-Dole-Williams/557-304082l

Q You became the first British diplomatic spouse to represent a host country in cricket. What challenges did you face in breaking cultural barriers while doing so?

Indeed, I was the first British diplomatic spouse in the world to represent a host country in cricket. A host country is a country where my husband, who is a diplomat, was posted as the Deputy Ambassador to the British Embassy in Peru. There were no restrictions on representing Peru internationally, but it wasn’t easy at the beginning, as cricket was still developing there. When I became a British diplomatic spouse, I didn’t fit into the same mould as others because I am a woman of color. I didn’t look the same as the other spouses who were mostly white women. I had to find the strength and confidence to carve my own name and so, I did things differently. Adhoc1234 (talk) 06:42, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Support Deletion and Merge Not only is this an unnecessary fork off of the foreign policy article, but this article is also very evidently biased against Trump. I am not a Trump supporter and I am certainly not a fan of his foreign policy, but this article simply recounts Trump’s imperialist statements and the global outrage they created, not official changes in diplomatic relations. There is no purpose to this article except disparaging Trump’s policies and the information should simply be included in a condensed section on the foreign policy article.

@Hawkeye7 From my look-over of both articles, this one is basically SYNTHing bits and pieces of the foreign policy article into a new one that just removes the non-ally parts of said article and frames it all as a singular event - it already is summarized/contained in the original, hence why it's an RFORK. The Kip ^(contribs) 05:29, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
Leaning delete, agree with the others above that this article WP:SYNTHs of a number of different statements relating to different formal allies to create a topic not covered by the sources. It also doesn't really reflect the sources it currently uses. Some relevant subtopics being weaved together are already WP:SPLIT into their own articles, others if overloading the foreign policy article should also be split into more discrete subtopics supported by sources.

Delete - I was invited to contribute to this article, but aside from asking about the choice of name on the talk page, I haven't done so. On reflection, I agree that it's a synthesis - it largely responds very literally to some grandiose things Trump said in the past week or so, and stitches together conceptually related things to try to make a coherent whole. It may be that in future such a thing is possible from reliable secondary sources, but I don't think that exists yet.

Keep: #1 criterion of WP:NBUILD as well as WP:GNG. It has "historic, social, economic, or architectural importance".

"Kolathukara Shiva Temple. The plan is to upgrade the temple as a national heritage tourism destination considering the status of‘Shivaprathishta’ by Sree Narayana Guru after the famed Aruvippuram Prathishta in 1888." It indicates it is historically and socially significant.
This states "It was at this temple that Sree Narayana Guru, as part of his fight against social evils, installed his second idol of Lord Siva, after the famed Aruvippuram Prathista of 1888." That's a bit of info in an RS.
- SIGCOV about temple in RS.
- Very detailed SIGCOV in a Govt. source
This confirms the fact that "Sri Narayana Guru composed the Kolatireshastavam in praise of Kolathukara Mahadeva." Although the source might not be an RS, but confirms it's significance in the local culture.
This states - "Kulathoor Kolathukara Siva Temple - 1893 March 27 (M.E 1068 Meenam 13) In this temple the Guru installed the Sivalingam by replacing an old ido Bhadrakali." Some history of the temple before its association with Guru.
- About the worship rituals of the temple prior to the Guru's association with it.
- Temple inaugurated by Guru and some additional coverage
- Has some coverage although probably not an RS.

Overall, seems good enough to save the page. BhikhariInformer (talk) 20:02, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

2. doesn't exist. 1. 3. mention the place in passing, as I mentioned before. None are about the place itself, and do little more than serve as WP:ROUTINE coverage. Source 5. is a speech, so definitely not an WP:RS.

Per this log, it seems that the contents of this title were merged into its now disambiguated title, Business First of Louisville, which is itself currently a redirect to this target indicated, maybe/possibly out of notability concerns. What is mentioned at the target is instead "Louisville Business First", as to whether they are related or not, you the WP community are to judge whether this should be retained as is or retargeted! Intrisit (talk) 06:09, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

@Intrisit: maybe we should restore this version, since you've not noticed even one of the five listed items with this name. An editor, now blocked for disruptive editing, retargeted to the list. As to the idea that these are all non-notable journals, tell that to the random editors who link to these titles, or to simply Business First without disambiguation, when citing them as reliable sources. – wbm1058 (talk) 07:18, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Nominated this here on behalf of Shhhnotsoloud, who requested a G14 that was undone by the TA ~2026-14944-70. The rationale for this is almost the same as above with one exception; this has the "(disambiguation)" disambiguator, which apart from the aforementioned "Louisville Business First", has no "Business First" title mentioned! The TA's rationale of Lists are an explicit example of pages performing "disambiguation-like functions"; that does not mean this must remain, only that WP:G14 is inappropriate is laughable considering the revelation I just gave and that that one "list" there, apart from the Louisville one, mentions nothing called "Business First".

X bomb

X bomb → Twitter bomb (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

"X bomb" is unmentioned and was created from a disputed page move. Search results gave an item in Super Smash Bros. and then some bombs and safety gear, but nothing related to Twitter. Adding Twitter to the search gave mostly random posts. "X bomb" could also refer to an episode of Astro Boy (1963 TV series). It might also possibly refer to Fritz X Bomb, which was the actual bomb that came from googling "X bomb". I propose deletion as I couldn't find reliable sources that called "Twitter bomb" an "X bomb", and even then, that wouldn't be the primary meaning. Mathguy2718 (talk) 04:35, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Not the same thing, though it's true that many cases of sexual abuse perpetrated by children are perpetrated against other children. This broader concept, however, including juveniles/children who assault older peers/adults, is out of scope for this article. The easiest to find wiki-notable example is the case of Alfonza Smalls and Richard Henyard(''Teenager convicted of raping mother, killing her 2 children'). Juvenile delinquency#Juvenile sex crimes provides more information, and either links or can easily link to the COCSA article, but it's very much just focused on the legal status of juvenile offenders in the US which is why I'm favouring delete GreenLipstickLesbian 💌🧸 04:05, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

It's a bit weird that the Ethernet and Network interface controller articles barely mention the concepts of drivers or software.

It's simply a misspelled adjective form of the word Heteroflexibility. Note that the correctly spelled HeteroflexibleHeteroflexible redirects to Heteroflexibility and HetrosexualHetrosexual exists as an {{R from misspelling}}. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 03:26, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
Delete Hetero-curious, Heterocurious, and Straight-curious. These are not synonymous with either heteroflexibility or bi-curiousness. At a minimum these terms require more explanation, which is not found at either target, though it's possible they could be defined in these articles or some other article as related concepts. Bicurious typically describes a straight-identified person whereas hetero- or straight-curious describes a gay-, lesbian-, or otherwise queer-identified person. Bicurious people are "curious" about sexual or romantic engagement with the same gender while heterocurious people have similar "curiosity" about the opposite gender (or a gender different from their own, depending on definition). Heteroflexible is an identity unto itself although may also describe someone who also identifies as or is assumed to be straight/heterosexual. Keeping or retargeting these indicates that these terms are synonymous with heteroflexible or bi-curious. These all receive minimal pageviews and none are linked in articles. Thus they do not qualify for soft redirects to Wiktionary per WP:SOFTSP and Template:Wiktionary redirect. All of these terms may have somewhat squishy and context-dependent definitions. Reliable sourcing may be a challenge but these need to have a clear definition or discussion of varying usage if they are to be targeted anywhere. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 19:32, 3 March 2026 (UTC)
homoflexibility redirects to its antonym. And it doesn’t seem that there are only one case of bicurious or only one definition for heterocurious. It’s not rare to find uses while searching for this having the same meaning of bicurious, especially when most results in my first googling were porn. However, I found some definitions in scholar:heterocurious: By ‘heterocurious’ we mean those individuals who consider themselves heterosexual but like to engage in sporadic homosexual relations. So it’s either a subtype of bicurious or itself. Abesca (talk) 16:28, 4 March 2026 (UTC)
HomoflexibilityHomoflexibility may need to be considered separately. I maintain that all the straight/hetero-curious redirects should be deleted unless and until they are discussed in an appropriate article. The fact that the definition is squishy is all the more reason why an appropriately sourced discussion is necessary to support these redirects. My finding is that definitions vary but part of the base definition of 'bicurious' is straight or straight-leaning while part of the base definition of 'heterocurious' is (often) non-straight. Unexplained redirects will either indicate that these are always completely synonymous with 'bicurious' in all its uses or will leave readers scratching their heads wondering why they landed at an article that doesn't describe the redirect—WP:RSURPRISE applies. With only 21 hits on Google Scholar, this terminology appears rather obscure, hence my earlier statement: Reliable sourcing may be a challenge but these need to have a clear definition or discussion of varying usage if they are to be targeted anywhere. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 19:47, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

The use of caps lock could be plausible if they are looking for something that is stylized in all caps. Note that these thoughts were solely based on checking disambiguation pages and seeing if an all-caps stylization is used, so the ideal situation for these redirects may not match what is provided.

The use of caps lock is plausible, but it's also something automatically handled by the software. Search an article title in all caps and unless there is an article at that link (eg. WASP) then the search will convert it to sentence case. CMD (talk) 04:33, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

If we move away from primary redirects to the lowercase meaning, we should at best retarget to the generic disambiguation page. We should not short-circuit en masse to any topics other than the most obvious one, especially not to relatively niche entertainment topics. If there are actual cases where it's plausible that there's another primary topic, each such discussion should be held separately and notifications should be made accordingly. --Joy (talk) 07:51, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Hjsakldfhl

Hjsakldfhl → The Amazing Digital Circus#Episodes (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Unclear, possibly WP:RSURPRISE. The redirect is the title of an upcoming episode, which is itself a keyboard smash. Maybe move to Hjsakldfhl (The Amazing Digital Circus) without leaving a redirect? Also could reasonably be a keep, and I could understand that... 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 00:58, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Keep: Keyboard smashes are random. This leads me to believe that if a reader types (or copy-pastes) this exact string of characters, the target must be what they want, as that's more likely than typing this by chance. No other pages are titled "Hjsakldfhl", so moving it would just be unnecessary disambiguation. I would not be against making an anchor at the table item and refining to that.

I would agree (unless (of course) another argument is stronger). 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 03:39, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
If you agree, then would you like to withdraw this? It wouldn't stop an editor from renominating with a new rationale. Chess enjoyer (talk) 03:46, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
I'd like to see where the discussion goes, first. Definitely will withdraw if I think it needs to be. 🫀 Crash // Organhaver ( it / he | talk to me, maybe? ) 04:43, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Template:Keane songs

Template:Keane songs (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to Template:Keane, which it was split off from without explanation back in 2012. I've re-added the articles from this template to Template:Keane, and as you can see, the navbox's size is nowhere near large enough that a split would be called for. All that having two navboxes for this topic seems to accomplish is to make navigation for the topic more confusing and increase the work required to maintain and place the navboxes.

Delete per nom. Personally, I'd have just redirected it. --wooden superman 09:10, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Draft:Everwise

Potential hoax. A google search tells me "Based on the search results, there is no evidence that a person named Matthias Keller is or was the CEO of a company named "Everwise." Gbawden (talk) 09:12, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Reads more like a CV than a user page - inappropriate use of user pages Gbawden (talk) 08:47, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

User:Beareditz4

Per WP:UPNOT user pages should not be capable of causing widespread offence, including by racist ideology. The version as of my nomination condones fascism and remigration ("expulsion of all races to their homeland") and so violates that guideline. Wikipedia is also not a soapbox for anyone's nationalistic or political beliefs. Yesterday I left @Beareditz4: a message on their talk page advising them to remove the user page, but they have neither responded to me nor done anything to the page. Rand Freeman (talk to me) 02:00, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

A userpage with such pacificistic and inspiring messages such as Racial values — pure blood and expulsion of all races to their homeland, peace for all races on their historical land; Diaspora — strictly prohibited; and Fascism (Mosley variation)? Delete and Block, or at the very least warn. Sahib-e-Qiran, EasternShah 02:13, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

Delete and would support a block as well. WP:NORACISTS and WP:NONAZIS. Seems like this user's non-userspace contributions are exclusively about military history, and I don't exactly trust a self-described fascist who openly endorses ethnic cleansing through forced expulsions to protect the racial purity of bloodlines to be a constructive editor in that area...
