Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine

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

Article seems like it is better suited to be a paragraph under Jello's article. It was started in 2009 by someone whose only two edits were this article, and the talk page has a note from someone with a COI adding content. The tone needs revision and there haven't been many reliable source references added during the life of the article. Submitting for discussion by other editors.

Sultan Zauq Nadvi

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

This BLP article has been tagged for the use of unreliable sources since 2020. Wikipedia's strict standards for Biographies of Living Persons (BLP) require that all content be supported by reliable and verifiable sources. Upon review, I found that the article cites eight sources, six of which are entirely unreliable, including local book-selling websites, while another provides only a trivial mention. The article relies almost entirely on Nadvi, Jasim ad-Din (2019); however, no direct link is provided, and the reference appears to be from a user-generated website, which does not meet Wikipedia’s reliability standards. I considered removing the material cited from this user-generated source, but doing so would leave the article as little more than a one-line stub. Due to the lack of reliable, independent secondary sources, the subject fails to satisfy the notability guidelines outlined in WP:Scholar, WP:AUTHOR, and WP:GNG, and therefore, the article is not eligible for retention and should be deleted.–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 03:07, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails GNG; cannot find any SIGCOV in reliable sources; cited sources are all blogs and party communications. "History" section appears to be SYNTH, as its one source makes no mention of this group that I can find, and further statements are uncited. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 18:57, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What argument? ꧁Zanahary꧂ 01:57, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – In case someone argues that niche topics may only have coverage in their niches, from my search at least, there is an absence of coverage even in other communist and socialist organisations' publications. I don't expect an international of mostly non-notable organisations to have coverage beyond their members' own works. Yue🌙 00:51, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. I was unable to find significant coverage in my searches for sources. Savitech (traditional Chinese: 盛微先進科技; simplified Chinese: 盛微先进科技) does not meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria. Cunard (talk) 06:40, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the article: I believe this article meets notability guidelines. savitech are the developers of the LHDC Bluetooth codec, one of only a handful of codecs certified by the Japan Audio Society for Hi-Res Audio Wireless. That’s a significant technical achievement and recognition from a respected industry body. These sources talk about Savitech and their codec in a substantive way, which supports notability beyond just a passing mention. As for the tone of the article, I agree some parts might read a little promotional — that can and should be fixed with copyedits. But promotional tone alone isn't a reason to delete the article outright, especially when the subject is clearly relevant in the tech/audio industry and verifiable with reliable sources. A cleanup tag seems more appropriate than deletion. Just to be transparent: I’m not affiliated with Savitech, nor have I been paid to write this article. I created it in my free time because I think LHDC is an underrepresented but notable technology in the wireless audio space. Happy to help improve the article further if needed.

- Would you list sources that provide significant coverage in reliable sources about the company? The company must meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria for the article to be kept. Cunard (talk) 05:30, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The sources in the article are a company database (not sigcov), the company website (not independent), a press release (not independent), and a news article that is so blatantly promotional it is either a press release or a paid piece. I couldn't find anything better via a web search, just more press releases and the occasional passing mention. Toadspike [Talk] 21:20, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fifth Ward Community Redevelopment Corporation

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

Subject does not appear to be notable per WP:NGO upon search. The current sources are either primary or not WP:SIGCOV, and the article seems to be promotional. Also, it seems that the article creator has a WP:COI with the subject, having only made edits to the subject's article. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 02:58, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have limited knowledge about the notability criteria for sportspersons. That being said, the subject does not appear notable to me. How is merely participating in an Olympic event sufficient for notability, especially when there are over 5,000 participants?–𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 02:34, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subject does not seem to be notable upon searching for reliable, secondary sources. Also, the creator of this article seems to have a undisclosed connection to the subject. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 13:00, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Notability concerns aside, which perhaps others may address first, I would note as the original contributor to the article that the claims of connection to subject are unfounded and likely unnecessary to the PROD discussion. Giri was a popular quizmaster for many competitions I attended (with hundreds of other students), over 12 years ago, and the motivation to contribute came from that. I don't believe that qualifies as a close connection. Cheers Komodo (talk) 03:29, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: A borderline WP:G11 article. Reads like promotion. None of the sources cited are reliable or do anything to establish notability. Junbeesh (talk) 08:52, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The article has been updated significantly. The promotional content was removed and factual information was re-written in a WP:NPOV tone. Further, primary and promotional materials citations were removed and independent, secondary and reliable sources from media coverage were added. Let me know if this doesn't address your WP:NOTABLE concerns or if you have any other feedback. Komodo (talk) 18:15, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Article was significantly re-written to address concerns noted above for the article -- including secondary coverage and reliable sources, though I should note that WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Nonetheless, WP:NOTABILITY concerns should have been addressed as well with this coverage, but further information on why this article meets the criteria: (a) Significant coverage in reliable and independent sources: He has received coverage beyond simple announcements or listings. Sources like news outlets (Times of India, Deccan Herald snippets mentioning quizzes he hosts), articles about major events he leads (Tata Crucible coverage, TCS IT Wiz) but does not own, interviews (like in People Matters), and platforms featuring his talks (TEDx) constitute significant mentions in reliable contexts. While his company website or speaker profiles are primary or promotional, significant coverage exists independently. (b) Evidence of recognition and impact: His position as the quizmaster for the high-profile Tata Crucible quizzes since 2004 is a long-standing, nationally recognized role. Similarly, hosting the large-scale TCS IT Wiz/InQuizitive adds to this prominence. Greycaps, his company, has been described in multiple sources as one of Asia's largest in its niche. Finally, he is a frequent speaker, including on platforms like TEDx, that demonstrates a public profile and recognition in his field.

Keep being the only prisoner of an entire country for several years is fairly unique. There is substantial in depth coverage from a quick seatch, and there is what appears to be sigcov in many books, not just news [5]. The news coverage also appears to be indepth. The 2021 piece is fairly indepth and a decent refutation of it being NOTNEWS. He was a diplomat, a fairly significant position, so there also appears to be coverage on that.
