Not enough in-depth coverage to meet
WP:GNG, and doesn't meet
WP:MUSICBIO, could be a redirect to

- Merge and redirect (to article on relevant X-Factor season). Per nom, the subject does not meet
WP:MUSICBIO (
no chart placements, no wins or nominations in major music awards, no wins or placements in major music competitions, no significant or verifiable radio play, etc). In terms of
WP:SIGCOV, all of the material coverage seems to relate to the subject's involvement in the X-Factor. For example, as an Irish act, a search of the
newspapers of record in Ireland returns mainly trivial passing mentions. Or stories covering the subject's involvement in the X-Factor. For example, of
the 6 results in a search of the Irish Times, 5 of these results are substantively about other topics (with passing mentions of the subject). And the 6th is about the subject's involvement in the X-Factor. A similar
search of the Irish Independent stable of newspapers is harder to pick through, being mainly false positives. While we do find some news stories (of which the subject is the main topic), these are mainly local stories in local papers. Like these:
"Price Brothers to headline the Academy" (Bray People),
"Prices' latest single is 'Magic'" (Wicklow People),
"Sean and Conor get ready to hit the road in 2019" (Bray People). That most (bordering on all) of the article deals with the subject's involvement in the X-Factor would seem to support
WP:MERGEREASON. I don't think deletion is the answer. But a merge would seem appropriate,

Hi there!
Intoxicated Goose here, the creator of the article on
Sean and Conor Price.
I agree and understand the reasons as to why this article isn't suitable for Wikipedia.
I have spent time and effort into the page, but have decided that the most optimal route for the article is to be a merge.
As I'm new here, could you possibly walk me through the whole process of going through a merge?
Thanks,
Intoxicated Goose.

Subject of article falls short of the required SNG's to qualify for a biographical article, she is an author but doesn’t fulfill any criterion from
WP:NAUTHOR, she has written appropriately three books in all & I can’t see any of her books been critically reviewed, all I’m able to find are cites that sell the book. She is also a professor yet again doesn’t satisfy any of the 8 criterions from
WP:PROF. A before search shows she doesn’t possess in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of her, to in the very least satisfy
WP:GNG.

As an Admin, If you can’t present your rationale in an AFD without being condescending or walking the civility line, either you stop commenting at AFD’s or drop the mop either works best for the community.

The result was merge to
Japanese dialects. There is consensus that this topic shouldn't exist as a standalone article, but there is less strong consensus about what to do with the verifiable information that exists. For now, the solution with the most agreement is to merge.

Yet another
only-in-Wikipedia artifact by
Haimounten (
talk ·
contribs) (aka
Coastaline (
talk ·
contribs)).
As of November 7, 2010, this article contains 5 external sources. They might fool you. But none of the 5 external sources contain the putative term "Ryukyuan Japanese." It is likely to be an
invention by
Haimounten (
talk ·
contribs).
In this article, "Ryukyuan Japanese" is presented as an umbrella term for Okinawan Japanese (Okinawa-substrate Japanese) and Amami Japanese (Amami-substrate Japanese). However, the last two external sources make no mention of Amami. Okinawan things are often misrepresented as "Ryukyuan", with an implicit assumption that they hold true for Amami, which is almost always false. The third source is not relevant either. The word Amami appears twice, but substrate influence on Japanese is clearly out of the scope of the article. The same is true of the second source. To sum up, only the first source by Mark Anderson is relevant.
Mark Anderson provides no evidence that this alleged high-level group of languages is recognized by its speakers. It is not, of course. The remaining question is whether there exists a scholarly discussion, independently of the speakers' self-knowledge, to be covered by Wikipedia. The answer is no. Linguists have worked on and still work on individual languages with no serious attempt of generalization. In fact, Anderson mentions Amami only in passing. In short, we have no external content for this abstract entity.

- Other books mention the concept of a Ryukyuan-substrated Japanese. It's just that the term itself isn't widely used. Why? Because a lot of books actually do mention the concept of it, but they often mislabel it as "Uchinaa-Yamatoguchi". Here's an example of what I mean: in the book "Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Multilingualism", it mentions "Uchinaa-Yamatoguchi" as a Japanese accent influenced by the six Ryukyuan languages (not just Okinawan and Kunigami). Also, in the book 'Japanese Language and Literature (Volume 41)", it mentions "Uchinaa-Yamatoguchi" as a general mix between Japanese and Ryukyuan (again, not just Okinawan).
- On the contrary, many other books say Uchinaa-Yamatoguchi is a Japanese variety only spoken in Okinawa and not the entirety of the Ryukyu chain. These are clearly two different concepts that contradict each other. They are just labeled under one term (Okinawan Japanese) due to the tendency to confuse Okinawa with Ryukyu. Therefore, it's better to distinguish them to avoid confusion. To sum up what I'm saying, there are sources claiming it's the Japanese accent of Ryukyu in general whereas others say it's only spoken in Okinawa. Wouldn't it be good to separate these two concepts, given your outspokenness over distinguishing Okinawa from Ryukyu (as seen in our previous discussion)? I can agree with a rename but definitely not a deletion. —

- I'm glad you apparently accept the fact that the article title is pretty weird.
- Another important fact to be confirmed. The alleged superordinate concept has nothing to with actual speakers. It's only a matter of scholarly discussion, even if there is. Do you accept this?
- Since you didn't object to my argument about the irrelevance of the sources cited, I deleted the irrelevant paragraph. I hope this clarifies the point.
- Again, the remaining question is whether there is any substantial scholarly discussion outside of Wikipedia. That's what you need to prove, and you failed even though you supposedly have many books on this topic. You are actually reinforcing my argument. Narratives coming from Okinawa often contain wild speculations that statements that hold true for Okinawa apply to Amami. Such narratives can be covered by an article on Okinawa-substrate Japanese if you really need them. In reality, there is no serious attempt to substantiate the abstract, high-level grouping.
- Just to be sure, I don't rule out the possibility that in the future, someone will compare Amami with Okinawa with respect to substrate influence on Japanese. Because they are two distinct groups, it's almost like comparing Japanese and Korean speakers' L2 English, which does not warrant an article covering both Japanese and Korean.

- 2. Yes, it's a scholarly discussion.
- 4. I made the article "Ryukyuan Japanese" because on the basis of emphasizing the difference between Okinawa and Ryukyu (which is what you do as well), I created a separate page for the concept of a Ryukyu-substrate Japanese. What I mean is that some books claim Uchinaa-Yamatoguchi is spoken just in Okinawa while others say it's spoken in the entire Ryukyu Islands (proof is the example books I provided). Why would the same term equate to two contradicting concepts? It would just confuse Wikipedia readers.
- Additionally, Ryukyu-Japanese substrates can be traced to a common origin. They all arose in the post-Ryukyu era as a result of Japanese linguistic assimilation. They formed out of substrate mixing between Japanese and the Lewchewan languages. While different types of Ryukyu-substrate Japanese are divergent to an extent, the article explains a group of dialects with similar origins. I'd compare it to how
Japanese Pidgin English covers three distinct pidgins on the common origin of mixing between English and Japanese. —

- Merge to
Japanese dialects. The topic in itself is notable, but there is not yet sufficient coverage in a wider array of sources. Furthermore, the presentation here as a "clade" or distinct dialect group is spurious. The main source for this article (Anderson 2019) does not treat Ryukyuan-influenced variants of Japanese as a single unit. I suggest to merge this information to
Japanese dialects, in a section of its own that discusses Ryukyuan-influenced Japanese based on Anderson (2019). –

- Thank you for the comment. But I don't see why you think the topic is notable. I'm afraid the word "topic" is taken in so broad a meaning that it can mislead the AfD discussion. Given that we already have
Amami Japanese and
Okinawan Japanese (the article titles are questionable but that's off-topic), the sole purpose of this article is to misrepresent the spurious superordinate category as an established one. That's not notable.
- As you correctly pointed out, this is not a cladistically valid grouping because its two members are parallel developments. Anderson didn't propose such a bogus clade and no other did. This article will never have "a wider array of sources". This stub will never grow because we have no external sources that support the alleged grouping. We have nothing to rescue from this stub. Just deleting this article is a straightforward solution. --

Ryukyuan Japanese becomes a redirect to let's say
Japanese dialect#Variants of Japanese on the Ryukyu Islands (the section does not exist yet), the currently misleading title will be understood as a broad topic, not a well-defined topic. Just like
American German (which does not exist as a single entitiy) redirects to
German language in the United States. –

- I do oppose a new section titled "Variants of Japanese on the Ryukyu Islands". It's like saying "there are flying mammals." when you see bats. This statement is logically not false but pragmatically unacceptable. Take a look at the references section of Andersen (2019). It's clear that Andersen is an outlier. Linguists getting involved in the topic of substrate influence work on individual languages people recognize ("bats"), without the need for superordinate group identification ("flying mammals"). Why do we have to downplay these basic-level categories and to prefer an abstract entity that we don't really need. --

Japanese dialects does not even have a section on what Shinji Sanada refers to as neo-dialects, or dialects used by younger generations that exhibit strong influence from Standard Japanese. We should begin by creating the broadest topic of this kind.
- That said, we will put Amami and Okinawa in the article
Japanese dialect sometime in the future. How should we arrange them, in a flat structure or with an intermediate topic? That's the question, isn't it?

Japanese dialects#History already is an embryonic version of it) would encompass more than just neo-dialects on a Ryukyu substrate, and also that the latter to not form a distinct entity of neo-dialects except for the geographic marker. And the geographic marker alone does require a subsection of its own. –

- I'm not sure if you missed my previous reply but I can state it again. You keep claiming it's not notable because of the lack of scholarly coverage. That's actually not true. There are many books talking about a Ryukyu-substrate on Japanese. The problem is that they often mislabel it as "Uchinaa-Yamatoguchi". I already gave you examples of books referring to Okinawan Japanese as a Japanese variety spoken throughout the Ryukyu Islands (which contradicts other books that say Okinawan Japanese is only spoken in Okinawa). These are two distinct concepts mislabeled as a single one, so I separated them on the basis of distinguishing Ryukyu from Okinawa. Furthermore, Ryukyuan Japanese varieties do have a common origin. They developed during the Meiji era as a result of linguistic assimilation. —

This contrasts to some other books which claim it's only the variety spoken in Okinawa. These are two different concepts and I created a separate article to avoid confusion. Is Okinawan Japanese spoken throughout the Ryukyu Islands or just in Okinawa? That's the question people should be asking themselves. —

Austronesier, or move to
Ryukyu-substrate Japanese. The subject AFAICT only exists as an umbrella term used by Anderson, "Ryukyu-substrate Japanese", as stated explicitly
here, another chapter by Anderson in the same anthology which discusses the varieties more directly. The term "Ryukyuan Japanese" seems complete OR. With Anderson being the only descriptive source on the varieties themselves, I lean more towards merge than move.

- Just another update, the 7th source in this Wikipedia article mentions the following: "As a consequence, today a continuum exists between basilectal and acrolectal Ryukyuan varieties of Japanese known as Uchina Yamatoguchi". This is a perfect example of what I mean. The concept of Ryukyuan Japanese is talked about, but they refer to it as "Uchinaa-Yamatoguchi" for some odd reason. Basically, the thing this article talks about actually exists, but the naming is confused. —

Glad to see a clear consensus that this article cannot be kept as an independent article. I admire Haimounten's tireless effort to twist arguments.

Is there any real reason to put two distinct concepts under the same title? Don’t they seem to contradict each other? Your argument was based on the idea that this has no topic notability, yet I provided articles that explained the concept. It’s just the naming that’s divergent. —

- Keep per GNG. Oregonian here, this property is very well known. A search for "Grand Lodge"+"Forest Grove" at Google News yields over 300 returns. I'm not suggesting most are significant coverage or even usable, but I'd like to think there's enough to stitch together a Wikipedia entry. I see mentions of renovations,
expansion, COVID-related updates, event hosting, list inclusions, etc. Historic property now operated by
McMenamins. I don't have time to flesh out the article at the moment, but I definitely think the article could be expanded to clearly demonstrate notability. Also, someone should search the Oregonian archives via Multnomah County Library -- surely there's more coverage there of the site's history. --

The band never released anything that I can find, and I can find no coverage of them touring or otherwise generally being a band. I see no purpose in an article if we can't provide sourced information beyond what is basically "they announced they existed in 2008". ~

- Keep or redirect - Ensemble has 3 notable band members, and can be redirected to
Christian Olde Wolbers or another band member if the article can not be kept. It is standard practice for a band name to redirect to a notable band member. Someone once said that one should either point the term to the most prominent band member, or that if all members are equal, to flip a coin to decide to which band member the term should point. Unlike the other two band members, Olde Wolbers has a properly sourced paragraph dedicated to Burn it All with links to the other two band members. --

The fact that 30m is the bar set for 'tall' here says it all really.
I know that there is no definite line drawn as to when "List of tallest buildings in ___" become notable or not notable. I would say, however, that wherever we draw that line, this article must fall short of those standards. It fails
WP:LISTN for multiple reasons:
- Firstly, the list has no navigational purpose as the overwhelming majority of the buildings featured are not notable enough for their own Wikipedia article.
- Secondly, this topic does not have
WP:SIGCOV in
WP:RS. Database listings in Skyscraperpage and Emporis do not constitute significant coverage.
- I see no evidence that the topic 'List of tallest buildings in Thunder Bay' is covered as a group by reliable secondary sources but I am happy to be proved wrong here.
- No significant high-rise buildings under construction or even planned currently so little chance of future notability; no point in sending to draft.
- The whole article is currently a violation of
WP:NOTMIRROR as it is almost entirely a copy and paste from Skyscraperpage.
- The city is not the largest in Ontario nor is it the capital.
- I really do not believe that a building being taller than 30m makes it notable. We do not set the bar so low in Vancouver and Montreal so why are we doing it here?

notability not established, sources are not researching, the Mashable source mentioned in the previous AfD is sourcing Bitcointalk and Twitter, this cannot be considered reliable journalism. Also, there is no guideline saying that if a coin gets hacked twice and it gets covered, Wikipedia must include the article. There are tens of coins like this one. I am tempted to mention how the value of the coin has collapsed and
almost no development is happening, but that is not how notability is established. Simply by applying the guidelines for reputable sources that we have, this article has no ground to stand on. The previous AfD asserted notability because of an
article in The Register. The article is sourced from forum posts and does not contain independent research. --

- Keep. Nothing has changed since the last nomination. The Register article being sourced from forum posts has no bearing on the reliability of the article. That's literally what a secondary source does. They synthesize information from primary sources, evaluate them for reliability, and put out a news article. For example, the forum posts do not establish notability, but when a journalist takes those forum posts to analyze and comment on them that does create notability. The journalist looks at the numerous forum posts about cryptocurrencies being shitty or vulnerable or hacked and then writes articles about the posts or tweets that are actually important.
- Also, again, the notability of this cryptocurrency isn't affected by time. The fact the coin is now worthless and is no longer under active development does not make it non-notable. This was mentioned in the first AfD and it's necessary to mention that again. While the nominator has qualified their statement w/r/t this by saying Verge's lack of development "is not how notability is established" it's still pretty clear that they're bringing it up as a reason to get the article deleted. Otherwise they wouldn't have mentioned it in the first place.

PROD (by Geschichte) was Footballer who has never played in a professional league. No international caps according to Soccerway.com

Notability tagged since 2009, so time to get a hearing on this.
One-paragraph AllMusic bio. There's some coverage in Prog Archives, but it's listed as unreliable at
WP:ALBUMAVOID. Sources in the article are primary, unreliable, or insignificant coverage. Mostly just an interview
here.
This is from BBC, but is marked as a Wikipedia mirror.
Sputnik gives one sentence. The material
here is copied from the lead of this article. Found a few things that look bloggish. Don't think this quite meets
WP:NBAND (one release on an indie label with an article, others either self-released or on really minor indie labels), and I'm not sure that
WP:GNG is met, either.

WP:ORGIND and not articles based on interviews/quotations from company execs. Of the references added,
this from Denver Parent is from a parent praising the existence of a nearby camp and the fact her family loves it. It contains no in-depth information on the company and fails
WP:CORPDEPTH but the giveaway is that it is tagged as "PR Sample". Fails
WP:ORGIND.
This reference from Boulder Weekly is entirely based on a interview with the founder/CEO, fails

this from Denver Post is
churnalism and based on information provided by the company and an interview with a company exec, fails

WP:GNG - as I also mentioned in my comment above, one of the added sources does not mention "Adventure Quest" at all (and that article, as pointed out by HighKing, is labeled as a PR piece), and one only has brief coverage. That leaves only one piece of in-depth coverage, which does not demonstrate notability. As suggested by Piotrus, if there is a broader list or article that someone can suggest for this to be merged or redirected to, I would be on board, but this does not meet the criteria of sustaining an independent article.

- Keep According to Cornil's
Championnats de Belgique d'Echecs (1901-2009), he competed in six Belgian championships from 1935 to 1959, tying for 2nd in 1949 and never finishing lower than a tie for 5th, and winning the tournament prize for most brilliant game in 1935 (as judged by world champion
Max Euwe) while tying for fourth with
Alberic O'Kelly, future grandmaster and correspondence world champion. Verhulst's
Belgian Chess History gives 25 events he competed in from 1931 to 1970, citing local newspapers and magazines of the time as sources. Baert was from Antwerp (after the war, he was active in
Turnhout – see e.g.,
[24], p. 10), winning the
league championship of that city in 1970 and representing it or Belgium in several intercity/international matches besides the Olympiad mentioned in the current article. He was a
doctor by profession. A leading Belgian player for 40 years can be expected to have significant coverage in local secondary sources such as the ones cited by Verhulst. In particular, I'd look to Wasnair and Jadoul's 300-page Histoire des maîtres Belges (
[25],
[26]), published in 1988, as a likely source of further information on Baert. Belgicapress gives
27 results for 'schaken' + "Dr. Baert" from 1930 to 1970, the last year covered in the database.

- Delete: participation to a Chess Olympiad is not notable per se, since the level of the participants varies greatly, many from not-so-strong chess playing nations are amateurs, club level players. He may have competed several times in the Belgian national championship, but never managed to win a title, and it's not a strong chess-playing nation.

- @
DGG: The subject is noted within India as one of the country's most well-known businessmen, with a business portfolio including the Bombay Stock Exchange-listed company, Food and Inns Ltd, and the country's current leading IPO publisher, Western Press. There are substantive and substantial primary and secondary sources that support this assertion. The citations within the article support all assertions, but are by no means exhaustive. In addition, Dalal is notable for being implicated in one of India's largest financial scandals, in a case that ran for more than 20 years. The article is no more promotional than that of other prominent Indian businessmen and entrepreneurs upon Wikipedia. As with other articles within the same categories, it details the subject's business career and achievements, as well as controversies. If it is the consensus that the entry is, in its current form, considered promotional rather than strictly informative, then the article can be amended with this guidance in mind rather than deleted outright.

- Delete I believe the current interest both in creating the article and a bit of recent news coverage is due to
Scam 1992. However not every broker involved in the scam is automatically notable. There is a lot of trivial mentions in the news, but I couldn't find significant coverage in reliable sources. Also to note that both the companies he owns/heads are pretty small and not notable on their own. Food and Inns Ltd has a market cap of around 230 crores (~ 33 million USD) and Western Press (a private company) has an paid up capital of just 87 lakhs (~ 120k USD). Being in very niche business and having some notable clients does not make the company notable. The subject fails
WP:GNG,
WP:BIO and
WP:NBUSINESSPERSON. The article is also written in very PROMO tone.

Neither can I clearly see why it does not confirm with NPOV, given that all information provided is clearly cited and that any commercial claims come from reputable third-party sources rather than the subject. A quick search online will suffice to demonstrate the subject's notability, and his notable connection to one of India's largest financial scandals in modern history. That being said, and again as previously stated, I would welcome constructive guidance on revising the article to be exactly inline with Wikipedia's policies, if the consensus is that it currently fails to do this.

There is lots of coverage, mostly related to the fraud, e.g. short paragraph in the Independent, similar one in Reuters. I found a financial analysis he completed for banking customers in Jstor, but there is very little on the man himself, hence the reason the article is stuffed with other types of non-suitable business sources. I don't see much to support
WP:BIO, or
WP:SIGCOV. The article is a BLP but reads like a business article. It is highly promotional, failing
WP:PROMO and non-notable.

WP:BLP of a television news producer, not
properly referenced as passing our notability standards for television producers. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and must be shown to either earn important distinctions (notable journalism or television awards, etc.) or have enough
reliable source coverage about them in media independent of themselves to pass
WP:GNG. But of the four footnotes here, one is a
primary source "staff" profile on the self-published website of a publishing company he's directly affiliated with and two are glancing namechecks of his existence in sources that aren't about him (and one of the two namechecks, further, is a personal career reminiscence by a former colleague on the self-published website of their own former employer). There's only one source here that actually starts to get him toward a GNG pass, and one good source isn't enough all by itself. There are also some
WP:NPOV issues here, with several loaded value adjectives that praise him and criticize mainstream media in a non-neutral and non-objective way.

- "It's a stub" is not in and of itself justification for minimal sourcing: a person does not get to keep a Wikipedia article of any length if he cannot be shown to clear
WP:GNG on substantive coverage about him, which means that if he doesn't have more sources than this then he does not even get to have a stub. (And no, happening to have his name mentioned in coverage of other things is not the same thing as "coverage about him", either.) The only source here that carries any weight at all as notability-supporting source about Ted Kavanau is #1, Literary Hub, and one such source is not enough.

He now has had 3 professional fights and has won all of them. He has won all of his amateur fights. He wrestles for GB and has a lengthy article on the BBC. The reason why he has this as opposed to other MMA fighters is down his record of unbeaten amateur record and because he highly regarded in MMA circles. He is his 4th professional fight in a few weeks. He is hotly tipped to become a world champion in the professional ranks. Whilst the
WP:NMAA criteria have strictly not been met, i feel Mokaev merits a stay of execution on account of his remarkable record, the articles in the media, the people in the Uk circles of MMA know him fairly well and he trains with Professional MMA fighters in the UFC and Bellator (Kane Mousah and Lerone Murphy). He has also trained in Sweden with Chimaev. This week he has been interviewed by CNN, and that too will soon be published.

WP:NCORP was changed in 2019 to emphasise the quality of references that are required and the guidelines are simple - no spam, no promotion, no announcements, no run-of-the-mill financial statement, no "interviews". No regurgitated company-spawned material. If a company is notable, somebody somewhere will take notice and write about them. If they're not notable, nobody will bother which is about 99.9% of most companies.

So it is advertising like coverage you get, PR, churnalism, press-release, social media content, to bring attention to landing page, or website. It is ultra shallow information and non-notable.

An IP user created the page with some good sources. It was then redirected back to
Star Saga. Bringing here, to assess notability and see if it can be a standalone article page on the first game in the series itself.

- Keep If anything,
Star Saga should become a redirect or disambiguation page, as it fails the VG series requirements. This page, however, easily seems to pass GNG.

- Keep Both games get coverage, so can have two separate articles. This one is for the first game, the other can be renamed for the second, it listing information about it and why the sales were so bad they had to sell their company.

- Keep but re-organize: this does seem to cover the same topic as
Star Saga, and the two should be combined into one better article. I do see some coverage of the second game in the series article, and that should be re-written as its own spin-out, or as a short section at the end of the article about the first game. There might be two topics here, but not as written.

Subject is a mixed martial artist. Subject fails
WP:MMABIO as a MMA fighter needs to have at least 3 fights under tier one promotion to pass
WP:MMABIO notability requirement which subject fails to secure. Subject also fails GNG as the fight info/record is mainly trivial routine reports.

- Delete He has no top tier fights so he fails
WP:NMMA. Winning a minor MMA title doesn't show WP notability and all of the coverage is either routine sports reporting or MMA databases.

- Delete He fails
WP:NMMA. The two criterions for notability of MMA player are (according to
WP:NMMA):
- 1. Have fought at least three professional fights for a top-tier MMA organization, such as the UFC (see
WP:MMATIER); or
- 2. Have fought for the highest title of a top-tier MMA organization
- He fails both of the criterions because in his professional career, he has only fought in the CFFC (which isn't listed in the tier list) and the Bellator (in which all his fights were
- after 2015, so after Bellator was knocked down to second tier). He has never fought in a top-tier organization. He fails notability.

Apparently, I "completely messed the whole thing up by redirecting it" to the article where it is completely included in. Hmm. No reason for this separate article about the table, when it is included in the main target page.

- I don't get why you've requested for this to be deleted. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. Plus, why add a redirect on it? There was nothing wrong with it in the first place. Once you added the redirect, I couldn't even open the page to view it.. there's just simply no need for this to be even deleted. I didn't create the page, it was created earlier tonight in order to show the updated WPCT with Salford's deductions.
So, why have you requested for it to be deleted?..

- Keep the confusion is partly my fault. The table needed a custom configuration to deal with some circumstances that Module:Sports table can't cope with. Initially I put the table directly into
Super League XXV and removed the link to the template page. I was going to delete the template until I realised that it is transcended into several other articles, so I moved the wikitext to this template page. Therefore there may have been a short period when it appeared twice on the Super League page, once as text & once as a transfusion. Bottom line, the template is used in several articles so should stay.

I'm not convinced about the notability of this topic, much of the article appears to be novel synthesis from many primary sources. The primary promoter of this theory appears to be a certain Dr. Shi Huang, and it appears to have gained little traction in mainstream scholarly sources.

PainProf was trying to clean it up. At the time, I didn't see evidence that it had been taken seriously by a substantial community apart from its inventor. Revisiting the topic now, I concur with the nominator that it just hasn't gained enough traction to deserve an article.

- Comment I haven't read through this thoroughly yet but a lot of the article is
original research or defending the hypothesis rather than describing it. The
scientist's google scholar page also links to this article as his homepage so I think there's some confusion over what Wikipedia is for.

- Delete. Looking deeper into it this hypothesis hasn't gained any traction from secondary sources with most citations being linked to the original author somehow and this article is largely
original research. I also have concerns about a conflict of interest as the article is also the homepage link on the scientist's Twitter profile and it looks like it was written to promote the hypothesis (e.g.
[30]).

Yung apparently had something of a promising career as a young pianist, but his later legal troubles appear to have put an end to that. He is notable neither as a
pianist nor as a
criminal.
