I dispute that there was one such phenomenon, effectively there is a degree of WP:SYNTH here. The material on the PBSP armed struggle can be dealt with in the PBSP article, the material on the NAP-Communist Party-Student Union Guerrilla Forces is dealt with there (and can't really be framed as a 'communist insurgency', rather it was a subset of a larger nationalist campaign). There is no relation between the PBSP and the other grouping, they were not part of a single movement or tendency. There were also other groups conducting armed struggle in East Pakistan, and in opposition (to a degree or other) to Bangladeshi independence. Combining pro-Soviet, pro-Chinese groups and intermediary groups into a narrative of a 'communist insurgency' is ahistorical. Soman (talk) 11:40, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep If someone can find archived Dunedin newspaper, this should be a very easy article to improve. The station looks to clobber the GNG if someone can get the sourcing for it, as it appears to have been the leading private station in this area for some time. Our NZ radio coverage, particularly on pre-internet topics, suffers from lack of references, but don't let that be a hindrance to determining notability.

2023–24 U.S. House legislative coalition (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)

I am creating this deletion request on behalf of the community, not because I actually believe this article should be deleted.

Just for some context, I created an early draft of the article and abandoned after getting feedback from others that it probably wasn't notable. User:Dcpoliticaljunkie found the draft and improved it. They nicely asked on the talk page if I felt it was ready to be moved to mainspace and I said it was.

More importantly, I believe that AFD is one of the few bureaucratic processes that actually work on Wikipedia. User:Antony-22 started a merge discussion, but I find that those discussions often don't get seen by the community at large. AFD is much more obvious and the discussion is generally more structured. A few other users have made comments on the article talkpage asking for the articles deletion.

I am leaving those comments and the merge discussion below. I will add my own !vote when I get some time, probably at some point tomorrow.

This is not a European-style legislative coalition, even an informal one. Unlike in parliamentary systems, in the United States it is common and unnoteworthy for legislation to pass with some votes from both parties. The idea that Republicans should try to pass legislation without any Democratic votes is a new one—even the Hastert rule didn't require that—and one that has not even been put into practice.

What this article does have is a good description of funding-related legislation during the 118th Congress, but that text is customarily in the article for each year's federal budget. I propose to move the text to 2024 United States federal budget and 2025 United States federal budget, and possibly other articles, as appropriate. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 00:48, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can't do an AfD right now but this article seems to be deletion worthy with WP:OR and WP:SYNTH violations. 1) the idea that there are any coalitions (and I use that term loosely) between fractions of the Republican and Democratic parties exist is dubious at best and outright false at worst. 2) the infobox, especially but not to the ideology section, makes claims that are not supported in any of the sources. 3) the article can't even agree who is apart of this "coalition". 4) this article synthesizes sources from the 2 speaker elections in 2023, the removal of Kevin McCarthy, and the various bills to stop a government shutdown to create a narrative unsupported by reliable sources TheMysteriousStar (talk) 01:22, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Better off to put this in the 118th congress page. 2600:1700:1850:81F0:94CB:F7E5:B61B:B6F1 (talk) 07:15, 5 January 2025 (UTC) Esolo5002 (talk) 07:27, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Now that a number of editors have made arguments for both keep and delete in good faith, I don't think a procedural close would be appropriate - there's evidently valid debate to be had about the fate of this article. —Ganesha811 (talk) 07:06, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I am not super familiar with the deletion process on Wikipedia but I feel that there is enough substantial coverage of this phenomena in the 118th Congress, which was unique and a distinct feature, that the article is appropriate. We did not "create a concept out of thin air". It seems some of the hang up is a result of the name and I would not be opposed to discussing a better name for the article such as "Bipartisan cooperation in the 118th House". At the very least, there is well-written content in this article that could be utilized elsewhere, but given the breadth of coverage about an unprecedented need for bipartisanship for the House to function, I believe this article (perhaps renamed) should remain in the encyclopedia. Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 13:12, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I don't know why people keep saying that bipartisan support of funding bills is unusual, when it is in fact commonplace in the United States. Look for example at the votes for major funding legislation for 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016. The unusual thing here is the unsuccessful attempts to pass funding legislation along strictly party-line votes. Antony–22 (talkcontribs) 02:24, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Would you object to reworking the article into something along the lines of "Bipartisan cooperation in the 118th House"? With 1 keep, 1 weak keep, 1 split, 1 merge/split, and 1 delete/merge it seems most who are not supporting keep do not object to the article's content but to its description of "coalition" (however informal). That's not a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater. While I think describing it as a coalition is defensible with the sourcing we have, I concede that it is less so that an article on bipartisan cooperation without describing it as a coalition. Thoughts? Dcpoliticaljunkie (talk) 13:24, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I would object–my whole point is that the 118th Congress in fact features less bipartisan cooperation than historically usual. If the article is retained, a more appropriate title would be something like Attempted party-line votes in the 118th Congress.
    Also, I'm not proposing to "throw the baby out with the bathwater". As I said, the text is actually quite good, and all of it should be preserved, but in the articles that typically cover this kind of content. As it is, this article is mostly a content fork of the annual U.S. budget articles, and that kind of WP:REDUNDANTFORK is itself against policy.

Virtually non-existent, secondary, reliable source coverage for this individual in Canada, fails WP:NBASIC. Recreating previously AfD’d page (from 2006) but there has been an ounce of more coverage. Only really covered in one article (about her volunteer role as a “fixer” after a scandal) and the rest are passing coverage, mostly in what would probably be considered WP:NINI & WP:BIOFAMILY. She the wife of Tim Hudak.

Lots of trivia in the article, in an apparent attempt to bolster notability, such as passing mentions of affiliations, prior employers, or the fact that she was part of a debate prep “acting” the part of a well known politician. Even the bulk of the fixer story was basic quoting of either her or other people directly involved. While has worked with politicians, does not qualify as a politician for notability/BLP requirements.

Otherwise nobody seems to be really covering her.

Attempts to handle through notability tagging and talking with article creator have failed. Independent research has uncovered precious little for a WP:BIO.

Not to be confused with either of the two more notable Deborah Hutton’s of which come up in search results even for Deb.

Also was mentioned in Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jaime_Watt which was also deleted, but now a redirect.

Would be okay with merging some into the husband, but there is precious more than a sentence or three worth moving. TiggerJay(talk) 06:40, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

1. 2 articles discuss her role in the Greenbelt scandal. This fact is about her and not her relationship with Tim Hudak.
2. She was not Tim Hudak's wife when she became Premier Harris's chief of staff, that has nothing to do with her marriage. I think that there may be offline sources that cover this in greater detail, given the time period in question.
3. She is an independent political actor. She writes political columns which have been discussed: https://www.ombudsman.on.ca/resources/speeches-and-articles/speeches/2019/politicians-cannot-do-the-work-of-independent-officers-of-the-legislature-(qp-briefing) https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/how-the-right-defends-policy-lite-brown-hepburn/article_1206a6f9-ea8b-56fd-9b3a-cab27386e28f.html I haven't been able to source the original columns yet or encyclopedic sources, but I think there's potential here.
4. There's another article which provides substantial coverage about her currently linked in the article and it has nothing to do with Greenbelt scandal.
5. She currently on the Metrolinx board of directors. Metrolinx is a controversial agency, and I may be able to find sources that are about her role as a director specifically. Such a source would could be paid, such as a transportation or engineering magazine, given the niche topic.
I may prematurely moved the article from draftspace. I think the most appropriate action is that it is moved back to draftspace, given the likelihood that more information can be uncovered. Legend of 14 (talk) 07:48, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why this was deprodded since it still fails WP:NNAME. It could be redirected to the one person with the name but the parenthetical disambiguator would make it an implausible target, as someone searching up "Feng (surname 酆)" is going to expect information on the surname and not Feng Yunhe. Of the two sources in the article, one only mentions the name and the other is a dictionary. The sources I could find online are not much better, pretty much only WP:ROTM name websites of questionable reliability. I can't see anything suggesting evidence of notability for this name.

In the early Zhou Dynasty, the seventeenth son of King Wen of Zhou was granted the title of Feng State. Later generations took the name of the state as their surname, and were called Fengshi. Later, some descendants took the left side of Feng (now simplified to Feng) as their surname, namely Feng. The surname Feng is a rare surname nowadays.

The surname Feng is mainly distributed in provinces and cities such as Hunan, Shaanxi, Anhui, and Hubei.

      The article notes: "【姓氏来源】《元和姓纂》记载: “周文王第十七子酆侯之后,以国为姓。”《左传》上说: “酆舒有二隽才,京兆。”由此可知,酆姓是出自 3000 多年以前周文王的第十七个儿子酆侯,由于被封于酆(今陕西户县东) ,所以,子孙也就按照当时的习惯,以国为姓,称为酆氏。望族居京兆郡(今陕西长安东)。【历史名人】春秋时潞国有执政大臣酆舒。宋代有著名道士酆去奢。【宗祠堂号】渤海堂。出自宋代酆去奢的故事。酆去奢,少为崇山官道士,精思忘瘦,一心行道,据传说去渤海向蓬莱仙岛,得道成仙而去。后世酆姓人家就以他去“渤海”成仙作为纪念,取堂号为“渤海堂”。【楹联】二擅隽才(酆舒) ,双成寿考(酆寅初)。"

"Zuo Zhuan" says: "Feng Shu has two talented people, Jingzhao." From this, we can know that the surname Feng comes from Fenghou, the seventeenth son of King Wen of Zhou more than 3,000 years ago. Because he was granted the title of Feng (now east of Huxian County, Shaanxi), his descendants also followed the custom at that time and took the country as their surname, called Feng. The prominent family lived in Jingzhao County (now east of Chang'an, Shaanxi). 【Historical celebrities】During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a ruling minister Feng Shu in Lu State. In the Song Dynasty, there was a famous Taoist priest Feng Qushe. 【Ancestral Hall Name】Bohai Hall. It comes from the story of Feng Qushe in the Song Dynasty. Feng Qushe was a Taoist priest in Chongshan when he was young. He was so devoted to Taoism that he forgot his weight and practiced Taoism. According to legend, he went to Bohai Sea and went to Penglai Island, where he became an immortal. In later generations, people with the surname Feng used his immortality in Bohai Sea as a commemoration and named their hall "Bohai Hall".

      The book notes: "唐代的京城是建於長安,則當時酆姓人家最多的地方其中的道理,十分顯然。鄭姓的始祖是周文王的兒子酆侯;豐姓雖然是鄭穆公之子豐的後裔,但是,當時鄭國也是由周文王的後裔所建,則推算起來,豐姓豈不也是源自周文王?所以,酆姓與豐姓,實際上是一根兩枝,算起來都是黃帝軒轅氏的姬姓後裔。兩姓源異而本同說起來,我國姓氏的奧妙之處就在這裏,鄭姓與豐姓,雖然乍看之下各有各的來源,彼此之間並無淵源,但是如果再進一步認真地追溯起來,就可以發現另一番景象———在三千年以前,兩姓根本就是一家人。"

      From Google Translate: "The capital of the Tang Dynasty was built in Chang'an, so it is obvious that Chang'an was the place with the largest number of families with the surname Feng at that time. The ancestor of the Zheng surname was Feng Hou, the son of King Wen of Zhou. Although the Feng surname is a descendant of Feng, the son of Duke Mu of Zheng, the State of Zheng was also founded by the descendants of King Wen of Zhou. So, doesn't it mean that the Feng surname also originated from King Wen of Zhou? ?Therefore, the surname Feng and the surname Feng are actually two branches of the same root, and both are descendants of the Ji surname of Emperor Huangdi Xuanyuan. The two surnames have different origins but the same origin. This is the mystery of Chinese surnames. Although Zheng and Feng have their own origins at first glance and have no connection with each other, if we take a closer look, Looking back, we can find a different picture—three thousand years ago, the two surnames were actually one family."

After the surname Zheng was derived, in history, Jingzhao and other counties were considered as the ancestral home, and there emerged such famous figures as Feng Shu, a Luren in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Feng Shenzhi, a Jinshi in the Song Dynasty. Nowadays, Feng is also a widely distributed surname, especially in provinces such as Shaanxi and Sichuan, where it is easy to see people with this surname."

      From Google Translate: "There are people in China with the surname Feng, and there are also people with the surname Feng. These two surnames have the same pronunciation, with the only difference being the character "邑" on the radical. So, is there any special relationship or origin between the two? To clarify this question, we must first analyze the origins of the two surnames. Regarding the origin of the surname Feng, "Xingzhuan" and The "Records of Words and Deeds of Famous Clans" all record it like this: "The descendants of the seventeenth son of King Wen of Zhou, Marquis of E, took the country as their surname. Zuo Zhuan recorded that there were two talented people in Fengshu, Jingzhao." The origin of the two surnames Zheng and Feng, Is there any special relationship or origin between the two? I believe this must be a question that everyone is concerned about. To clarify this question, we must first distinguish the origins of the two surnames. In China, there are people with the surname Feng and people with the surname Feng. The two surnames have the same pronunciation, with the only difference being the character Yi.."

  • I appreciate you finding these sources. Personally I don't believe these sources prove notability as they are all just lists of names repeating the same story about how the name supposedly originated. I don't think appearing on these kinds of lists suggests notability, especially since most of these sources have very similar titles. And they all contain only a brief paragraph about the name tantamount to a mere mention. Pretty WP:ROTM stuff. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 22:51, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Names still have to meet WP:NNAME, which states that a name that nobody with a Wikipedia article has is likely not notable unless it has exceptional sourcing, as names are just words above all. The sources you’ve provided are almost exclusively lists and dictionaries, and most of them are just different iterations of the same source, the Baijiaxing. I don’t believe that WP:NOTDICT hasn’t been violated. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 16:05, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NNAME doesn't say anything about exceptional sourcing. It says that A properly sourced article about a name may still be notable without a list. In other words, a name that meets WP:GNG is presumed notable, like any other topic that meets GNG. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 16:22, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes though like I said it is an anthroponym so any name without significant in-depth sourcing is not notable unless two or more people with Wikipedia articles have it. That’s why I said “exceptional sourcing” since there’s really no other way for a name to be notable if it there are no articles about people with the name. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 17:18, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't need exceptional sourcing, just significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. In any case, I've added several other notable people to the list in the article (they don't yet have articles on the English Wikipedia, but they do on the Chinese Wikipedia). —Mx.

The subject of this article has not yet demonstrated individual notability outside of his band, Tomorrow X Together, which is a criteria per the notability guideline at WP:BANDMEMBER. This is evident from the largely empty "Career" section that shows very little in the way of individual activity that would assist in establishing individual notability.

Subject has not released any solo singles that have charted anywhere that could assist in establishing individual notability, or participated in any activities of note outside of his membership in the band. The article mentions his individual participation in a YouTube series, which was uploaded onto the band's YouTube channel, but it doesn't seem to have received WP:SIGCOV outside of a few sources that are largely churned from a press release.

The name of this as "Hancock Chapel" as opposed to just "Hancock", seems to be an accident of map updating/reading, because a topo in the 1950s just calls the place "Hancock". The actual chapel, which is still there, is a bit south of the label, on the west side of the T intersection. There is a scattering of buildings about, but not so obviously organized as to make clear it was a town. Baker says right out that Hancock was a 4th class PO, but it's not at all clear that the updated label was sup[posed to be for the church, and rural churches usually are labelled. Searching is impeded by the commonness of the name and by the presence of Hancock County. By all means, go ahead and try to clarify this, but at this point it seems to be a somewhat made-up place due to unclear map labels. Mangoe (talk) 03:30, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've never attempted to invoke WP:TNT before, but I'm going to go ahead and try here, very cautiously. This is a stub article on a notable topic created by a user who has been blocked twice from creating new articles following their history of mass-creating short, poorly written, and poorly sourced stubs (like this one). There is absolutely nothing useful on this page or in its history. The sources are obviously inadequate for a medical topic. If someone wanted to improve this article, they would have to restart from scratch, and I mean that without a hint of exaggeration. Therefore, I am carefully suggesting we TNT this to encourage this to happen. To be clear, I understand that this is almost never a good reason to delete an article, and I understand that opposing views exist, such as WP:TNTTNT. Still, even after reading through opposing essays on the matter, this looks to be an extremely rare case where nothing associated with this article is salvageable (neither what's currently there nor in its history). I am fully expecting backlash over this, but I would like to emphasise that I wholeheartedly agree that using deletion as cleanup is almost always a bad thing. This is an extremely uncommon case where the entire article is unusable. All that said, and while I myself don't feel qualified enough to do so, if anyone else had the time to improve this, I would withdraw my nomination immediately, as again, notability is not the problem. Anonymous 02:06, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment — I am not going to pretend that I don’t understand the TNT argument or have never considered it myself. That said, I’m not sure I understand it, here. It’s a stub. Just work on it as-necessary. From a quick Google, it appears that the topic is likely notable. (Not to get into WP:OR territory, but as a side-note, it’s not a proper diagnosis because it sounds like it is a mild post-operative infection) That said, it being a stub — in my opinion — works against the TNT argument. It would need to be just a huge set of information along with egregious errors for me to consider wiping an article completely. The title is salvageable, no? Breastcancer.org and the Mayo Clinic both refer it as BII. Surely someone from Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine could assist with this?

Looking at the given sources:

  • [23] is not SIGCOV and only links him as a contact, also not independent as it's a partnership with his association
  • [24] and [25] do not mention him at all
  • [26] is IMDB
  • [27] is his association's official website (primary)
  • [28] only lists his association in a bullet list of many others, no SIGCOV
  • [29] is another of his websites
  • [30] is an interview he gave to a council his association joined, neither independent nor secondary
  • [31] is another SIGCOV-free bullet list
  • [32] doesn't mention him, and, looking at the context of how it was used, wouldn't have been independent either way
  • [33] is his speaker profile at an event, not independent
  • [34] is literally an advertisement
  • [35] is the same as the first source, but this time with the title of a different paragraph
  • [36] is yet another list with no content beyond names
  • [37] and [38] are open letters he helped writing, very primary
  • [39] gives me an error 404, but appears to be another open letter

Non-notable history denier. Few sources on google search, all of them more than 5 years old; this raises the prospect that the subject's notoriety was short-lived and has not endured. YouTube channel has fewer than 20K subscribers; most videos less than 5 years old have fewer than 500 views.

Although, I find this database site dubious [57] Kailash29792 assured me of its usefulness for Malayalam cinema. It lists all of the released films and some unreleased films. While it lists the 2017 version as unreleased (first with a pink U and then with [ പുറത്തിറങ്ങാത്ത ചിത്രം ] (transl. [Unreleased film]), it has no mention of the 2008 film, so without a doubt that film was never released.

NEW NOMINATIONS

[edit]

Category:Vaporware video games

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: There is a variety of issues that I have with this category: First of all, someone has removed titles that have been released a couple months back like Team Fortress 2 or Duke Nukem Forever. Also, vaporware is only a slang term for software that is takes very long to make and is often simply left abandoned (this may cause confusion with the similar term abandonware). The status of individual games in this category also varies: some are currently in active development and have not confirmed to be cancelled, some are just simply officially cancelled, while others are unreleased unknowingly cancelled. This could actually make for a new Unreleased video games category; which would only include video games that are unreleased yet not known to be officially cancelled. QuantumFoam66 (talk) 04:17, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Split Keep this category (with stricter guidelines) and create a second category for former vaporware that has since been released.

Category:Music generated games

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Raised by Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2025_January_10#Category:Video_games_with_custom_soundtrack_support due to its unclear title. The long description is mostly WP:OR, and defines the topic as video games that can read CD inputs. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 11:09, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Music-generated games are games in which the gameplay is generatively determined in a meaningful way by musical input. This is accomplished, in music-generated video games, by associating in-game elements such as landscape or enemy attack formations with elements from the musical input via waveform analysis algorithms.

Musical input typically consists of a standard CD in Red Book audio format. With musical input in this format, the game software will load into the console's RAM and allow the removal of the game disc such that any musical CD of the player's choosing may be inserted and accessed during the game. This allows for essentially limitless gameplay variability and is intended to enhance replay value.

Other music-generated video games do not allow the player to select his own input, but instead use pre-determined musical input generatively. Such games allow the designers to employ any musical format of their choosing thereby enabling maximal compression and thus maximal pre-determined song library. Generative portions of such games typically derive from music visualization algorithms.

Although music-generated games are typically classified as music games, there is no requirement that a music-generated game must fall under this genre or even that the player must hear the music serving to determine gameplay. Furthermore, since gameplay determination is required, games which allow nothing more than a custom soundtrack do not fit the definition of a music-generated game.

Virtual reality -> Extended reality

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Those categories should cover the broader reality-virtuality continuum, so that's why i'm proposing a mass-rename of several virtual reality-related categories. Especially that the mixed reality market has started booming after Apple's $3499 magnum opus and Meta's first ever consumer-oriented mixed reality headset. However, the case with "Virtual reality pioneers -> Extended reality people" is that they are not exclusively pioneering those technologies but can have various different associations with them. Oh, and, also that there are barely any augmented or mixed reality-related categories. 67.209.128.52 (talk) 22:40, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Palestine

[edit]
Subcategory list
Nominator's rationale: And all sub-categories. Opposed speedy. The country article is now at Palestine as a result of this Requested Moved, the categories for the country should follow. Unfortunately during the years when the Palestine namespace was occupied by a disambiguation page, some category disambiguations were put in and this has led to what should be a straightforward move being procedurally objected to. The category names should match the main article for a country. Timrollpickering (talk) 10:34, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Copy of speedy discussion
This should probably go to full discussion. Per WP:C2D: it generally does not apply to proposals to remove a disambiguator from the category name, even when the main article is the primary topic of its name, i.e. it does not contain a disambiguator. –Aidan721 (talk) 02:51, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose far too many categories to discuss each on their own merits. World Heritage Sites in Palestine for example is too vague when considering the wider geographical region. Traumnovelle (talk) 03:10, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure if I understand this objection, all of the listed cats include State of Palestine in their titles, for example Category:World Heritage Sites in the State of Palestine. Anything not in SoP/Palestine must be in another state.Selfstudier (talk) 13:24, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Civil parishes in Telford and Wrekin

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: There is no need for a category at this level, and it breaks with, and confuses, the long-established hierarchy of categories. English civil parishes are categorised by a category for their district or unitary authority (ie the smallest larger unit which includes them), and a category "Civil parishes in [county]" (by ceremonial county, not by unitary authority). There is an established hierarchy at Category:Civil parishes in England by county. Note that Category:Civil parishes in Shropshire has a note, present for many years, showing its scope as "Civil parishes in the county of Shropshire, including the borough of Telford and Wrekin." (Shropshire is a somewhat confusing area to consider, as the ceremonial county and the smaller unitary authority area share the same name.)
Note that when this category was added to a group of parishes, Category:Telford and Wrekin was removed, so this will need to be replaced in any cleanup if this category is deleted. PamD 10:45, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The reason for that creation was to declutter the already over cluttered Telford and Wrekin category. It was to add the civil parishes to a seperate sub category to allow people interested in parishes or local history to see the parishes of Telford and Wrekin. The issue with the Shropshire one is that it covers the whole county but also there are two unitary areas which cover different sizes in Shropshire. With telford have just shy of 30 civil parishes as Telford itself is unparished. It allows for the other cps to be given a platform of their own in a category shy of Telford and Wrekin category. As @Crouch, Swale has previously told me that category is not needed. So it allows the category to be found in the Telford and Wrekin category but without directing or cluttering the mainspace itself. Neatly if you will. Since none of these cps answer to Shropshire Council but T&W Council. DragonofBatley (talk) 12:15, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Children of Category:1480s in Spain

Category:Japanese non-binary professional wrestlers

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: Excessively narrow intersection, especially for just one article. Upmerge sole entry to non-binary professional wrestlers (already present in 21st-century Japanese professional wrestlers so no need there). Not nominating American non-binary professional wrestlers just now but noting that it may be worth doing the same with; if anyone else supports then I'll throw a nom up for it as well. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 10:05, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge per nom. I'd take the AMerican ones under the same criterion — we previously merged a host of ethnicity+nationality actors categories on similar WP:NARROWCAT/WP:OCEGRS grounds. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 11:32, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The category American professional wrestlers contains all American wrestlers in subcategories. This includes categories for male and female wrestlers. Removing the category for non-binary wrestlers will impede navigation and proper categorisation. The argument that this is an "excessively narrow intersection" is not sound; by that logic Category:American female professional wrestlers and Category:American male professional wrestlers should also be deleted. McPhail (talk) 12:12, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:US-aviation-accident-stub

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: This template seems to be entirely redundant and unnecessary since its scope is already covered in the much larger Template:Aviation-accident-stub and, out of the current 157 stubs listed at Category:Aviation accident stubs, less than ten involve US aviation accidents/incidents. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 09:59, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Works about economics

[edit]
Nominator's rationale: rename, economics is not accurate here because economics is the study of economic topics. Apart from subCategory:Economics books, this category is mainly about economic topics rather than about economics. If there appears to be support for this proposal I will add the subcategories too (but not Category:Economics books). Marcocapelle (talk) 07:30, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Make America Rock Again

[edit]

No mention of "rock" at the target article. Apparently fails WP:NTOURS since its exception, and was the subject of a BLAR last year because of it. So it seems like there likely won't be an article at this title possibly based on such. But I come here instead of AfDing as there's many mentions of this tour across Wikipedia, and doesn't feel like a helpful redirect in its current state, but maybe something else makes more sense?


It should be noted that this'll be my last nomination for my editing session: when I started drafting this nomination I wrote "no mention of "BLAR" at the target article".

Thiolester

[edit]

Acknowledging that I'm way out of my depth with chemistry, this seems to be a sort of sub-topicky thing that's not discussed at the target, rather than a UK/US spelling difference as the creator implies in their edit summary. For example:

  • [64]: "‘thioester’ will be used as a general term for sulfur-containing esters, whereas the terms ‘thiolester’[...] will be used when specifically indicating one of the

structures..."

Keep. Hi, you're right, it is indeed not a UK/US spelling thing, and I learned the correct interpetation upon reading your references. But I'd vote to keep the redirect, as the current Wikipedia Thioester page does not use the interpretation that "thiolester" is a subset of "thioester" - it just ignores the terminology thiolester altogether, which is what the vast majority of folks do, even when writing in contrast with other things like thionoesters and dithioesters. Overall, thiolester is just an exceedingly rate term. In my literature library, I have 1700 papers that use thioester (in pedantic meaning, "thiolester" structures), 30 that use thiolester. P.S. the existing redirect page at Dithioester to Dithiocarboxylic acid is perhaps more problematic as an ester (with thiols or not) is not synonymous to a carboxylic acid.

Shady job

[edit]

General term that shouldn't redirect to this particular form of shady job. Quick google suggests vast majority of English usage isn't referring to the Japanese concept. Rusalkii (talk) 02:30, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.
The reason I created the redirect from Shady job to Yami Baito is that in the Japanese version of article , it was written as (英:Shady job). I was going to suggest renaming the article, but as I usually use the Japanese version, I did not know how to suggest renaming the English version, so I created the redirect.
Since the other party's opinion stated that it was about Japan, I would appreciate it if you could suggest renaming it to "Shady job in Japan".
Thank you.--Tomo.s.429 (talk) 05:00, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Shady job in Japan" doesn't have as much of an ambiguity problem, but if you do a search there are only three results, and none of them refer to Yami Baito. I don't think the article should be renamed, since it looks like English-language articles use the term "yami baito" without translating. Rusalkii (talk) 19:22, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, and subsequent explanation as to why it is generic and not relative to Japan. Jay 💬 11:21, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Convert to soft redirect to Wiktionary yami baito. "Shady job" is not really an English-lang idiom—a term whose meaning is more than the literal sum-of-its-parts. A typical native en speaker "gets" that "shady job", outside of the Japanese context, just means "a job which is shady". However the translated term from Japanese is idiomatic: "a fraudlent job offer, or an offer of a job involving criminal acts, which persons typically are recruited for online, particularly on social media, with alluring promises of lucrative compensation for easy work". (The literal translation from Japanese is "dark part-time job": see entry. "Yami" means "dark" with much the same semantic range as English "dark", both literally "the absence of light" as well as the various figurative meanings of "distasteful", "concealed", "perilous" etc.)
Also if I'm not mistaken, Yami Baito ought to be moved to Yami baito per WP:TITLECASE. --Slowking Man (talk) 05:00, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is WP:OR. No evidence that yami baito is translated as "shady job". Also, not mentioned at the target. Paradoctor (talk) 11:53, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Here are a couple I found, including from NHK: [67] [68] --Slowking Man (talk) 23:46, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Nope. Both articles use "shady job" merely as shorthand for "shady part-time job". When yami baito is mentioned, it is always translated as "shady part-time job". Paradoctor (talk) 03:15, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I mean, I don't disagree that they repeatedly use the phrasing "shady job", with the contextual understanding that the more complete phrasing is "shady part-time job". But dropping parts of phrases to shorten them, and use of the contracted varieties in preference to the full uncontracted phrase, is quite common in English. One random example that comes to mind: "to eat one's own dog food" getting frequently contracted to just "dogfooding" or "dog-food": "we're dog-fooding that product on a regular basis". I am skeptical that people are overly concerned about observing a strict distinction between part-time and full-time work, when employing an idiom taken from a foreign language. --Slowking Man (talk) 08:27, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    That argument requires that "shady job" is used alone in some of the sources, independent of "shady part-time job", like "dogfooding" and "dog-food" are. Otherwise it is no more than local shorthand. I couldn't find any, maybe you can?
    The only evidence we have right now is an unsourced claim in the Japanese Wikipedia that "shady job" is the English translation of 闇バイト: (やみバイト, :shady job). From what I've seen, this is in error. Paradoctor (talk) 14:34, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of cameos of the Mario series

[edit]

No such list or topic in target article. Steel1943 (talk) 14:40, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all per nom or retarget to a specific heading if applicable. Also, if only 2 or 3 exists, won't 2 act as 3 and vice versa? TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 02:10, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
delete per nom and as... kind of vague, if i'm being honest. on top of there not being a list, what would this mean for donkey kong, for example? consarn (speak evil) (see evil) 11:57, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per creator and tag as {{R without mention}}. Jay 💬 19:09, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete due to the lack of mention, unless that gets fixed prior to this discussion being closed. (I oppose keeping and tagging this redirect with {{R without mention}} since the purpose of that template and its category is to put the redirect in a maintenance category to inform editors the redirect needs to be nominated for RFD ... which is what we are currently doing.) Steel1943 (talk) 21:38, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Where is the usage of ..to inform editors the redirect needs to be nominated for RFD documented? Jay 💬 16:25, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    It's not technically mentioned anywhere, but it's assumed (and has been on numerous occasions) since the template throws the page into a maintenance category with the usual response being to nominate the redirect for RFD. In other words, we are already discussing the "maintenance" by having this discussion, and tagging the redirect starts the process currently in progress all over again. Steel1943 (talk) 19:47, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    If there are editors who patrol the category to nominate redirects at RfD, it is their prerogative, but why assume that the consumers of the category are regulars at RfD? Jay 💬 20:18, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    That's not really what I mean. The only way I can think of responding to this is that the nominator essentially already "patrolled" this redirect by nominating it. Why go through the same thing twice? Steel1943 (talk) 23:29, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't understand. A container category can be patrolled. How do you "patrol" an individual redirect? Jay 💬 15:10, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    AFAIK, technically, only as a new page patroller. Unofficially, patrolling the redirect by "finding" it, which the nominator did. And even then, I'd imagine the majority of Wikipedia readers (not editors) would not even know or care how to view a redirect without automatically being redirected to its target page ... which apparently brings me back to the point that since the problems regarding this redirect have discovered and a discussion has been started, the odds of such issues being discovered again is rather low, so probably best to figure out a semipermanent solution during the course of this discussion.

Propose merging Template:NGC objects:1-500 with Template:NGC objects: 1-1000.
This is an exact duplicate of half the larger template. The larger template aligns with the list. Alternatively, delete the larger template as a duplicate. -- Beland (talk) 10:22, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions or documentation. Created in June 2024. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:32, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Having only two links makes this an unhelpful template. Bgsu98 (Talk) 05:13, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's okay if you want to delete the template. I don't mind and that's all. Stevencocoboy (talk) 05:33, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
