This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to the United Kingdom. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|United Kingdom|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to the United Kingdom. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Europe.

I responded to a speedy tag this morning as G4, recreation of an article previously deleted at XfD. In the moment, I believed the sourcing similar to that when it was first deleted. After another admin disagreed I was happy to undo the G4. Now I'm asking for re-assessment of this version, since I wasn't given the opportunity to question the SIGCOV in my purely administrative tasks. I assert these sources are marginal at best, and the page creator was blocked for promotional ediitng several years ago. I have no presented reason to believe this wealthy businessman is any more notable than any other wealthy businessman. BusterD (talk) 01:30, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople, Finance, and United Kingdom. BusterD (talk) 01:30, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Articles are either about being one of the to hedge fund managers, where he's mentioned in a list with about 19 others, or this [1] about planting a tree in Saudi Arabia as a sign of interfaith "togetherness" for lack of a better word. I don't see sources 1 and 4 in the article as being only about this person. Rest aren't RS per Cite HIghlighter. Being one in a list of 20 and planting trees aren't quite enough for notability here. Oaktree b (talk) 04:14, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- He has been covered by Maneet Ahuja in her books and numerous reliable sources, including Reuters, the New York Post, and the Wall Street Journal. As the Chairman of LCH Investments, the world’s oldest fund of hedge funds, he is also responsible for compiling the annual list of top hedge funds. in addition, he holds distinguished positions at notable organizations like the Woolf Institute, Alliance Israélite Universelle, and the Center for Jewish History. If these credentials are not sufficient to establish notability for a hedge fund manager, then what would be? In fact, many existing Wikipedia pages on cite fewer sources than his.Jiuantaui (talk) 11:32, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- These are not particularly strong arguments. Both Oaktree b and I have read the applied sources already, and neither of us are impressed. Remember, we are discussing this pagespace, not any of that other category pagespace. BusterD (talk) 18:18, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- We need sourcing about the person. You can be whatever and get an article here if you have enough sourcing. Being notable but having poor sourcing is the issue. Oaktree b (talk) 14:01, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete Sourcing looks not that good. Perhaps can be expanded, though I am not sure if the subject is notable for stand alone article. Feels like an employee made this page. Ramos1990 (talk) 04:08, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Please see this diff from before I removed a section. I wasn't going to AfD this at first, but after digging into it more, I don't see any redeemable sources, nor could I find any on my own. This article was created by a paid editor and moved from the draftspace themselves, however, it occurred 110 days ago so draftification was not an option. The only source that could be approaching significant coverage is the Yahoo News article, everything else is primary sources, WP:PASSINGMENTIONS, etc. Without the puffery, this article says little more than "This is someone who exists."

The result was delete. The sole (unbolded) call for retention does not address the key issue of the absence of SIGCOV in the cited sources, crucially required for a BLP. Owen× ☎ 18:11, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:NOTINHERITED. No list of collaborations will make this person any closer to notability. Bearian (talk) 03:52, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- Your argument referencing WP:NOTINHERITED is misplaced in this case. The article subject, Alex Volk, meets the General Notability Guideline (GNG) because he has received significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources. These sources include coverage in Popcake, TotalRock, Metro Moscow, Rambler, and IMI, all of which describe Volk’s direct role as an entrepreneur and creative producer, not merely through association with others. Furthermore, the subject passes WP:BIO and WP:CORP standards: Volk is the founder and CEO of Lookport, a platform that introduced innovative VR concert streaming and AI-driven ticketing solutions. These activities were covered in independent media outlets. He has organized internationally recognized events, including VR concerts and a tribute show to t.A.T.u., which were widely reported in the media and involved international artists (e.g., Thirty Seconds to Mars, Pain, Imany). His work in both the tech and music industries has gained substantial attention, which is precisely what Wikipedia’s notability guidelines require. The subject’s achievements are independently covered, and the sources provide significant, direct, and detailed information about his professional career, not trivial mentions or inherited fame. The article clearly documents notable contributions to popular culture and the tech/music industry. Therefore, it satisfies the notability criteria and does not violate WP:NOTINHERITED.

Completely unnotable. Searching it up yields 71 results on google, with none being anything that would indicate any form of notability. Absolutely zero significant coverage by outside sources. Article is also quite promotional, and at times reads like an advert. Article is also extraordinarily outdated, listing events in 2018 as upcoming. Gaismagorm (talk) 13:43, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

- I've checked the IOM's legislation WWW site, and looked into law and peerage books, and found nothing about this at all. If this exists at all, and wasn't just made up on Wikipedia from whole cloth, as far as I can determine no-one has written it down. There's no evidence that any of the English laws about precedence apply to the Isle of Man, either. None of the books that discuss them (e.g. the one by Charles George Young, Order of precedence, with authorities and remarks at the Internet Archive) even mention the Isle of Man or these offices.

Fails WP:NEVENT. All of the sources are primary news reports which follow the trial with little outside commentary. Does not pass notability for crime specifically. News reports can be secondary, but none of the ones on this trial are because they are just recapping the legal process. The event did not have any specific consequences, news was largely localized, and there isn’t any coverage after the trial ended. This is also a PSEUDO biography of the perpetrator instead of an actual event article, which this also has issues with (pseudo isn’t a guideline but it does raise the question of whether we should judge this by criminal notability guidelines instead which this also fails).

- Keep. Passes WP:GNG with extensive, international coverage in WP:RS (including just what's already cited in the article) and even a documentary retelling the story 5 years after the event ([4]). Does need a rename to focus on the murders, but that's not for WP:AFD. Longhornsg (talk) 03:10, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- Is it actually international? All coverage I could find was local or localized to England. And most of the coverage I did find was trial updates. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:14, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- It’s worth noting that under English law very little may be reported about a criminal case before the trial, because it is generally considered inappropriate to comment publicly on cases where criminal proceedings are ongoing. There are exceptions, such as the 2024 Southport attack, which attracted a lot of media attention because of the shocking nature of what happened, but this tends to unusual. Therefore, it’s not surprising that most of the details about what happened in this case were reported while the trial was ongoing, and more importantly, after the verdict.

- It’s worth noting that under English law very little may be reported about a criminal case before the trial, because it is generally considered inappropriate to comment publicly on cases where criminal proceedings are ongoing. There are exceptions, such as the 2024 Southport attack, which attracted a lot of media attention because of the shocking nature of what happened, but this tends to unusual. Therefore, it’s not surprising that most of the details about what happened in this case were reported while the trial was ongoing, and more importantly, after the verdict. This is Paul (talk) 17:19, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- Is it actually international? All coverage I could find was local or localized to England. And most of the coverage I did find was trial updates. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:14, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: This definitely passes WP:GNG, and I would argue also passes WP:NEVENT, since it received widespread coverage from national UK media outlets. Several hundred murders are committed in the UK each year, and the nature of this one makes it stand out from the rest. Not only is parricide a rare crime, the length of time the perpetrator was able to conceal the crime while continuing to live in her parents’ home, keep up the pretence they were still alive, claim welfare for them, etc, is also unusual. Many people go missing, and are generally reported to the authorities as missing fairly soon after they disappear, but in this instance the McCulloughs' absence appears not to have raised sufficient concern to raise the matter with the authorities for several years. A note on the article; it isn’t meant to be a biography of the perpetrator, and in fact most of it concerns the crime and the subsequent ramifications, so I would support a move to Murders of John and Lois McCullough.

- It doesn't pass GNG because all sources are primary as simply recitations of legal proceedings. There is nothing to say on it beyond that it happened. While debating the move I was looking at the sources to judge if there was a common name and found them unsatisfactory to prove notability. PARAKANYAA (talk) 00:04, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep - For WP:GNG we require
significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject
andSources should be secondary sources
. The nom. and Thebiguglyalien are correct to call out immediate news reporting after the conviction as primary news reporting, and this is a fairly recent conviction (October of last year) which has given limited time to produce secondary sources, as reporting restrictions in the UK would prevent publishing prior to the conviction. But there is one very good example of a secondary source, given above. The documentary, Killed By Our Daughter: The McCullough Murders (2024), is a secondary source from a national broadcaster and widely disseminated. To clearly meet GNG we need multiple sources, and there are not yet any mentions in books that I can find. However, this is one of those occasions where it simply stands to reason that this one will be covered in books and other such sources in the future. The unusual nature of the crime, in that it was unnoticed so long, will certainly gain such notice, and it will also be recognised for other aspects, such as the debt spiral. This will find itself into additional sources. We shouldn't, however, keep articles just because we believe they will be notable one day. There should be no article if we do not have the sources to write the article (although this is too often ignored). Nevertheless, in this case we do have sufficient sources to write the article. The documentary is an excellent source, and it is likely that there is enough coverage in the extensive news reporting to pursue this. I note that even the Lucy Letby article only got its second secondary source at the end of last year, but no one would have deleted that article either. So this is a keep for me.

The review notes: "Caprinos Pizza opened in North Station Road last September. ... Walking in, I was instantly very impressed by the décor, which felt modern and clean. I was greeted warmly by a staff member and the service was quick, not just because I was the only one there. After deliberating and then realising I was actually not that hungry, I decided to go for a small margherita pizza with a BBQ dip, as well as a side of fries. For just £9.48, £6.99 of which was for the pizza, the price was definitely a positive. It was a short ten-minute wait for the cooking and prep before I collected the goods and headed home to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised with the pizza itself. It was full of flavour and tasted delicious. ... The fries were a little disappointing. However - as with many things, they were made better by the dipping sauce."

Comment:: I found the copyright page [here] that has apparently been transcribed word of word. However, from what I see online it appears the subject is sufficiently notable to warrant an article and there are quite a few other independent sources that could be used to rewrite this, perhaps using some of this source to create perfectly acceptable article. Perhaps draftify or start a sandbox that can be worked on by some interested editors. ww2censor (talk) 11:56, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep The original 4 line 2010 WP article contains the (mis-cast) words the name of 'St George' was assumed on inheriting his maternal uncle's property, Richard St George Mansergh-St George, the words following ‘Mansergh’ are inserted a little later here; the 2013 article by Matranga says the name of ‘St George’ following ‘Mansergh’ was assumed on inheriting his maternal uncle’s property, Richard St George Mansergh-St George. The Matranga article has a copyright date of 2012-13, but that does not push it back before the earliest WP version, nor do we know what the 2012 version of the Matraga article looks like. I don't see any sign in the WP article's history that it has been cut-and-pasted, instead it seems to have been developed a step at a time. It looks to me that either the Matranga article is the copyvio, or Matranga is one and the same as the main Wikipedia editor of our article.

Content split from BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film. It seems the category was discontinued in the early 80s and re-introduced in the 00's (as can be seen here. This is not a valid rationale for splitting out content. It is the same category, and the content should be kept together so that readers have all of the information in the same place.

- Question: Was the award always called the BAFTA Award for Best Animated Film? If so, then this spinoff doesn't make sense because it's making up an award name/category that doesn't exist. If it was ever called the BAFTA Award for Best Animation then that might make a spinoff somewhat justified unless there's coverage stating that the award was specifically retitled to Best Animated Film prior to the shorts spinning off on their own.

- True, it's possible that the BAFTA website's awards archive has changed/simplified the awards' historical names from what they originally were, for convenience in searching.
- But I'm not sure how to confirm if that's the case, and if so, what the awards' original names were. The BAFTA website's "Heritage" section contains images of the ceremonies' original brochures from the 1950s to the 1980s. But the only one that shows any interior pages with award names is the first one from 1949; the others only include covers (e.g. the 1950s page). Nick RTalk 14:24, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete The article relies heavily on primary BAFTA sources but lacks substantial independent academic references that establish its standalone importance.Krishnpriya123 (talk) 17:10, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete and/or redirect. (No strong preference.) We don't need separate articles just because the name of the category may have changed — if the function of the category remained consistent, then we just need one article that covers both phases of its history at its current name. Since the same information is already reflected in the existing article anyway (and already was, it just hadn't been converted to table format yet), we don't need this to be forked out just because of a name change.

Non notable salvage vessel. I am unable to find significant coverage in reliable secondary sources (basically all I get is historicalrfa.uk which even if it met all the criteria for SIGCOV, which I am uncertain on, is only one source). I tagged this for notability a week ago, but the author simply reverted the tag without comment and declined to improve the article any further, leaving me with no choice but AfD.

- Comment – I am unable to find any sources myself, but I'm hesitant to support deletion just yet because so many navy vessels do turn out to be notable. If anyone can access The Times archives, which I do not have access to, that might be a good place to check. I thought RFA Belgol wasn't notable, but it turned out to have sufficient coverage in The Times and at the Historical RFA website. PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke) 03:23, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

- Comment - article creator is a new editor. As well as the Historical RFA website used as a reference (from which the article can be expanded greatly), there is also Clydesite. The Times draws a blank this time. Mjroots (talk) 12:14, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Does Historical RFA meet our requirements for a reliable source? I've looked it over and can't find any sort of "about us" beyond two people listed as consultants. A trip to rfaa.uk is more promising, but I'm still not getting a clear sense of who their authors are and if the website counts as a reliable source. Forgive me, I am not shipsandotherthings so I'm not as familiar with sourcing in this area.
- If this were a warship, I'd probably have left it in the NPP queue, but a salvage vessel doesn't seem to have automatic notability. Perhaps there's a list article it could be merged to somewhere? Trainsandotherthings (talk) 20:29, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Trainsandotherthings: - Given the detail of entries consistently across the site, I'd say yes. However, I'm not a MILHIST expert, it just happens that some ships have MILHIST connections. I'll ask over there, see what the experts say. Mjroots (talk) 06:39, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment – Having had a look around the usual sources I agree that it is going to be difficult to prove notability for Mollusc. The Historical RFA page is more a list of seaman deaths plus two lines on the salvaging of some items from Falmouth than in depth coverage. Clydeships prove the ship existed but is not much more than a database entry. I think any evidence of notability will come from her later service as Yantlet, especially with mention of this 1667 Dutch warship and the possibility of work during the Second World War. I'm no expert on civil ship service so with have to leave it to others to prove or disprove. Looking at some definitely not reliable sources, it appears Mollusc may have originally been the name ship of the Trinculo-class mooring vessels. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 13:37, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting as no one but the nominator has actually cast a "vote" here yet. I'd also like to get this discussion a bit more time in case an editor knowledgeable about ships and shipping can propose an ATD. Too bad there isn't a deletion sort for "ships".

- Keep - As I've shown above, sufficient sources exist to enable an article of at least start level to be written. As we all know, that an article needs improvement is never a reason to delete it. Mjroots (talk) 11:21, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Yet again, I'm attacked for daring to participate in NPP and bringing an article I could not find sufficient sources on to AfD. I'm extremely tired of this consistently poor treatment. I've improved many a poor quality article, and even saved several from deletion; I do not need a lecture on the subject, from you or from anyone else. You've identified exactly 1 additional source, which is simply a database with statistics and almost no prose at all, and then gone on a high horse about how it's so evil that anyone dare nominate an article for deletion. Not everyone is an expert in ships, and not everyone has the exact same interpretation of GNG. I did a standard BEFORE search before creating this nomination, as I always do. I don't understand why you have suddenly decided to implicitly accuse me of misconduct when we were having a perfectly civil discussion regarding the article previously. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:18, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete – I repeated my search for sources and still haven't found significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Even assuming historicalrfa checks all the boxes (and its records are not, as it warns, "extremely sketchy"), a second source has yet to be found. I say that because I do not think that clydeships has significant coverage. I don't know if it's reliable, but it does seem indiscriminate. To quote from the website itself: "This web site aims to present the vital information and the careers of all vessels built by the shipyards of Scotland" (emphasis mine). Not all of those tens of thousands of ships are notable enough for their own article, and in my subjective and non-expert opinion, there isn't enough in the RFA Mollusc's remarks section to prove notability. I would be happy to support an ATD if anyone can find one. PrinceTortoise (he/him • poke) 03:41, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Most of the sources look more like group blogs/fansites and seem to lack proper editorial review. If I am wrong about that and one or more does seem to be an RS feel free to object.

- Although I have been doing my best to learn more, I admit to being quite out of my depth regarding Wikipedia technical conventions, language, etc. so have recused myself from the recent content discussion on the Involve (think-tank) entry. The proposal to delete the Involve entry entirely, however, is a bridge too far, and one I vehemently disagree with. (I strongly suspect that those editors proposing deletion are connected to Involve in some way (or even paid by them?) and simply want to sweep the whole discussion under the carpet.) Think-tanks are a vital part of UK society and this one plays a major role in it. Deleting the entry would be a blatant case of censorship IMHO. Also, the controversy about the Big Tobacco trustee at Involve has apparently resulted in a petition to the UK government petitions service to amend the UK Charities Act so as to close the revolving door between industry lobbyists and charities by introducing a 5-year ban on them taking up trustee posts after leaving their industry position: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/deborah-wa-foulkes_charitygovernance-corruption-bigtobacco-activity-7306164788068306945-dKWb?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAAASIBdEB7nQE4xbTkWoM0hmYURwNkITtMeU This petition has acquired the requisite number of preliminary signatures and is now at the checking stage. Once it goes public on the government website people will quite rightly want to inform themselves about the background to it and Wikipedia will have done them a great disservice by deleting the Involve entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chalk giant (talk • contribs) 09:09, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- Please refrain from accusing a COI or Paid editing with no background. I am sure @Darkm777 would agree. I found the article through random article (alt-shift-x). For the record I have no affiliation with Involve or any comapany/group. "simply want to sweep the whole discussion under the carpet" again, stop accusing editors.
- "Think-tanks are a vital part of UK society and this one plays a major role in it. Deleting the entry would be a blatant case of censorship" If you can prove it with references I will withdraw my nom, till then you have no basis that this think tank is notable.
- "Also, the controversy about the Big Tobacco trustee at Involve", Please read WP:INHERITORG, the Big Tobacco trustee will not make Involve notable. If you think the petition or the trustee are notable write about them, but the think tank doesn't inherit the notability. Best, CF-501 Falcon (talk · contribs) 11:28, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Chalk giant I would be glad to reconsider my nomination should you produce some better sources. It doesn't matter how important or popular you think this organization is. If they were popular enough they would have more news coverage and qualify. This is the basis of Wikipedia Notability Guidelines. Darkm777 (talk) 01:41, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Completely unreferenced article about an actor. As always, actors are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on third-party media coverage about them and their performances -- but this cites no references at all, and is written in a semi-advertorialized tone that's not complying with WP:NPOV.
As he's a British actor whose strongest claims to potentially passing NACTOR are television roles from 20 years ago, I'm willing to withdraw this if a British editor with better access to archived UK media coverage from the noughts can find enough GNG-worthy sourcing to salvage it, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have any referencing.

Keep This is about a school of thought that was once dominant in British genetics as late as 15 years ago, which will mean that the subject is notable. which if included in other articles would give undue weight to the now largely abandoned idea that the British gene pool is substantially unaffected by subsequent invaders, because Wikipedia was being substantially written then. There was at two major TV series devoted to this, Francis Pryor's Britain AD and Britain BC, while you had some best sellers (as well as the accompanying books from Francis Pryor, they also included Blood of the Isles and The Origins of the British) which propounded a theory that was dominant in academia before more genetic testing of ancient DNA became practical. Some quotes that illustrate the thinking from that time:
- "The gene pool of the island has changed, but more slowly and far less completely than implied by the old 'invasion model', and the notion of large-scale migrations, once the key explanation for change in early Britain, has been widely discredited." Dr Simon James - BBC article
- "All these marker systems indicate a deep-shared ancestry in the Atlantic zone, dating at least in part to the end of the Ice Age" - Genetics and the Origins of the British Population - in the Wiley Encyclopedia of Life Sciences (accesible with Wikimedia)
- "But geneticists who have tested DNA throughout the British Isles are edging toward a different conclusion. Many are struck by the overall genetic similarities, leading some to claim that both Britain and Ireland have been inhabited for thousands of years by a single people that have remained in the majority, with only minor additions from later invaders like Celts, Romans, Angles, Saxons, Vikings and Normans." Nicholas Wade
- "The genetic evidence shows that three quarters of our ancestors came to this corner of Europe as hunter-gatherers, between 15,000 and 7,500 years ago, after the melting of the ice caps but before the land broke away from the mainland and divided into islands." - Prospect article by Stephen Oppenheimer, a major populariser of the argument
- "This idea of a ‘Beaker Folk’ became unpopular after the 1960s as scepticism grew about the role of migration in mediating change in archaeological cultures" - The Beaker Phenomenon and the Genomic Transformation of Northwest Europe *"During the 1960s scepticism began to grow about the primacy of migration as a vector of social change in prehistory." The return of the Beaker Folk? Rethinking migration and population change in British prehistory academic paper that severely challenged the school
- "By that time, many scholars favoured a model of elite dominance involving small, mobile warbands and the acculturation of the local British population" The Anglo-Saxon migration and the formation of the early English gene pool - Later article that severely challenged this school
I intend to add others as this debate goes on. JASpencer (talk) 06:53, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- @JASpencer: As discussed on the article talk page, what you are listing are at best different arguments (I think doubts would be a better term) against different possible migrations, in different periods of history and prehistory. They are simply not united by any "model" or "school" or "theory" or "movement". (To pre-empt another possible argument, they are also not united by being the results of genetic research. Doubts about the extreme "migrationism" of the late 19th and early 20th century, were, as you show yourself, common long before genetic evidence became available. Indeed your genetic-oriented sources are from the period before meaningful genetic evidence was available.) There are also other articles for every valid point that can be discussed about the sources you are uniting. Also, as discussed concerning recent articles you tried to create, putting everything else aside it wouldn't make any sense to make separate articles for models (for example the Germanicist extreme "migrationism") and diverse critics of those models [10][11].--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 08:42, 16 March 2025 (UTC)

- It is an honest question, and has nothing to do with your editing proposal. If there is a source, then maybe I should change my own opinion, which is that the article should be deleted (although there would still be major overlap concerns). Concerning editing the article, the whole idea seems a bit surreal unless we can define some notable topic which this article is about? Right now it is essentially a collection of snippets about different topics which are covered in other articles. Not only is there already an article about the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain, but even an extra article about the history of debates about it, made recently by the same editor who recently made this one Historiography of the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain. In the same series of events we also had two more articles created for BOTH sides of the specific continuity migration this article about [12][13]. These now redirect to Migrationism and diffusionism. We also have [[14]]. Andrew Lancaster (talk) 17:45, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

Insufficient third-party coverage i.e. not meeting notability requirements. The page has four third-party sources. Of these, one only mentions Collective a single time in passing, another is an opinion piece (see WP:RSOPINION) and another is the World Socialist Web Site, of which there is no consensus regarding its reliability. The other is a Greek source with unknown reliability and unlisted status on WP:RSPS. Helper201 (talk) 20:38, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

- I was expecting a wildly different subject from the title and the nomination. Nonetheless, I had a look around. The first stop is all of what has been taken out of the article since its creation. It seems that editors have been wielding the sword of verifiability well. The sources originally cited were either entirely speculative things from 2024 that made zero factual claims, or sources about a different political party, currently with one person (they say) where those sources seem to have obtained their information about this political party from that one person, who claims that xe is being supported by some unspecified entity named this. The Greek source is based entirely in turn upon these speculative sources, and looking at the purported WWW page of this purported organization and assuming that what it reads on the WWW is true.
But it gets worse than the false sourcing. As one editor observed, the original article had a fake address for this supposed organization. (It turns out that Progressive House is not any building in London that I can find, but rather progressive house.) I also observe that there were hyperbolic claims to membership figures unsupported by any source and assertions of facts not stated anywhere, not even on the dubious WWW page.
There are a couple of unreliable personal WWW sites to be found, but ironically the thing to observe about them is that they talk of a shadowy organization, that they found was incorrectly registered at Companies House, taking their money and then saying that they are not to be let into "secret" meetings, and of Jeremy Corbyn denying being involved in new political parties at all in a TV interview. (Just for fun, I looked up the Companies House listing. The corporate address is a place that rents out office rooms by the day. So the personal WWW sites seem to have a point.)
I'm half suspecting at this point that this is a wholesale con and that a Wikipedia article is part of it. We can do something about the latter, at least. It is unverifiable from any source, reliable or no, that this is a real thing at all. And the unreliable sources want to know where all this supposed money is going.

There's actually a later one from the same newspaper cited in the article. It's entirely "would" and "might" and lots of questions. And the earlier one is "hoped" and future tense.

The nomination doesn't give a particularly good sense that this should have been sent to AfD; the nominator isn't strongly in favor of deletion and doesn't mention WP:MUSIC despite this being a music-related topic (it's only referred to as a company, rather than a record label). Many, many AfDs of record labels are label imprints of notable musical artists, and this one is no exception; I'm not sure that there's sufficient reason for a standalone article here, but mentioning it in connection with Cox's other artistic output makes sense. In general, these should be proposed as merges rather than sent to AfD; there's no reason to have a redlink here. Chubbles (talk) 03:35, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

- There is no readily available evidence to suggest that Anna Nicholas is widely cited by her peers or successors, or that she is considered an "important figure" within the broader literary community.
- It is unlikely that Anna Nicholas has originated a significant new concept, theory, or technique within the literary field. Her work, while potentially popular, does not appear to have revolutionized or significantly altered literary practices.
-While Anna Nicholas has published books, it is questionable whether these works have been the "primary subject" of "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" that meet Wikipedia's standards of notability. Simply having reviews or mentions is insufficient; the reviews must be substantial and from reputable sources. It must be demonstrated that the books have had a significant cultural impact.
- There is no evidence to suggest that Anna Nicholas's works have achieved any of these criteria. Her books do not appear to have become "significant monuments," been part of significant exhibitions, received exceptional critical attention, or been included in notable gallery or museum collections.

Article was created by a sockpuppet account named "Novonium", since blocked indefinitely, in 2012. The article appears to have a pretty rich editing history by socks, also since blocked, in the years following its creation. There is a strong WP:DENY argument to be made alone for deleting this article.
Additionally, most of the sources mention Nick Bilton in passing or refer to works of his but are not about the man himself. Therefore, though articles about some of Bilton's work might be notable, the subject matter BLP, Bilton, is himself not notable and the article should be deleted.

- Delete - Fails WP:NCORP and WP:GNG. It seems this gallery was not notable in 2018 and is still not notable. The sources consist of a short Forbes contributor PR piece on the gallery; the KIAF Seoul pieces is a modified press release; ArtNet is a subscription service for galleries and their listings, their "reviews" are not the same as serious art magazines and besides, it's a dead 404 link; The first Financial Times source is an article about NFT's with a mention of HOFA in one sentence, it is not an article about the gallery; the second FT source is about the artists, not about the gallery itself. Netherzone (talk) 21:12, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. I can't read the FT refs, don't have a subscription; I've removed artnet as a perennial non-WP:RS. The other three refs do not begin to show notability as expected for WP:NCORP: I see nothing to suggest that vipnews.gr is reliable (no imprint/about us/other indication of editorial control); the Forbes ref is a lifestyle blog post; and the KIAF Seoul ref is a press-release, which presumably they're hosting because the gallery had a booth there in 2022. I'm really curious about the assertion that it was "one of the first art galleries to offer its collection in the form of cryptocurrency", cited to the Alan Knox Financial Times ref: how exactly did that work? – you bought a painting or sculpture, and got given a bit of bitcoin instead? I seriously doubt that the FT says anything of the sort, but – as before – can't access it to be sure. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:14, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Justlettersandnumbers, I'm also not sure how NFTs and bitcoin work in tandem in the art world, but the Financial Times article only says this about the gallery:
“Viale really resonates with the millennial generation,” says Elio D’Anna, co-founder of Artcels, the online art investment platform behind the exhibition at Hofa Gallery. (After exhibiting in London in the spring “Kouros” travelled to the Greek island of Mykonos for another show.) Also at Hofa were a glossed-porcelain Jeff Koons “Balloon Rabbit”, a Yoshitomo Nara woodcut and relief prints by the cult African-American artist Nina Chanel Abney, along with a couple of works by Banksy — signed screen prints of “Girl with Balloon” and “Grin Reaper”.
which is not about HOFA gallery itself, but about the artists and the cofounder of of an "online investment platform". It is just a name check for the gallery, not sigcov. Netherzone (talk) 22:08, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

- Keep Nnev66 (talk) 13:18, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
CommentI'm leaning Keep as subject has a high D-index (H-index) of 81 so passes WP:NACADEMIC#1. She is the corresponding author on a Lancet article with 1,496 citations, 2nd author on another with 1,437 citations and 1014 citations. From Google Scholar I can see that she does have a number of high citation count first author papers 149 citations, 757 citations, 494 citations, 297 citations (I didn't go through everything). Perhaps HIV papers get higher citation counts but nonetheless she appears to have done important work from glancing at the studies. That being said the article has barely any content and would need an overhaul. I'd be willing to do it if there's consensus that she meets WP:NACADEMIC#1 but I'll need a few weeks to do it. Nnev66 (talk) 15:55, 6 April 2025 (UTC)- Following up my initial comment, if she did the modeling for all these studies it would make sense that she'd have a high citation count, with caveat without much effort I easily found articles where she had a high author position on the paper. She was not a chaired professor and I don't see any awards. I can't find anything about her other than what's on the University of Bristol web site archive links in the article. I'll await further input from the community about meeting notability with NACAD criteria #1. Nnev66 (talk) 16:29, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. When a statistician such as May appears in a non-leading author position in a well-cited science paper, one might assume that she was brought in to crunch the numbers on a project someone else designed and ran, and is not the main person to credit for its success; I don't think those sorts of works count much towards WP:PROF#C1. But when she is first author, it is much more likely to be primarily her work and more statistical in nature. In Google Scholar among first-author papers I see
- 756 for "Impact on life expectancy of HIV-1 positive individuals"
- 494 for "Impact of late diagnosis and treatment on life expectancy"
- 297 for "Does psychological distress predict the risk of ischemic stroke"
- 276 for "Prognosis of patients with HIV-1 infection starting antiretroviral therapy"
- 149 for "Life expectancy of HIV-positive adults: a review",
- 106 for "Cohort profile: antiretroviral therapy cohort collaboration"
- etc. To me that's enough to make a case for #C1 (especially factoring in the natural reduction in citation counts resulting from heavily filtering the publications in this way, compared to just looking at someone's top-cited publications). I suspect she has retired recently because she has published as recently as 2023 but I couldn't find a current listing for her at Bristol. I did verify that she was promoted to full professor in 2015 [29]. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:20, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

This article does not demonstrate that the subject meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines. Wikipedia evaluates notability primarily through two pathways: the general notability guideline (GNG), which requires significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources with strong editorial oversight, and subject-specific notability guidelines (SNG), which are tailored to specific fields like academics, athletes, or entertainers.
In this case, the article appears to concern a religious figure, not an academic, so WP:NACADEMIC is not applicable. The more relevant SNG is WP:NPERSON, which still requires significant coverage in reliable, independent sources that are not directly affiliated with the subject.
After reviewing the sources:
- CheckCompany provides a minimal corporate profile with no substantial coverage. (Too sparse)
- ReformJudaism.org.uk is a primary source from an organization the subject leads. (Not independent)
- Jewish News focuses on organizational developments and only briefly mentions Levy. (Wrong subject)
- Leo Baeck College profile is uncredited and potentially self-authored. (Unreliable, likely self-published)
- JewishGen is about a synagogue building, not Levy himself. (Too sparse, Wrong subject)
These sources fail to provide the significant, in-depth, and independent coverage required for notability under either GNG or NPERSON. Without substantial third-party coverage—particularly from newspapers, religious publications, or similar sources—there is no verifiable basis for inclusion. As it stands, the article should be deleted for lack of notability.

Cuckney Hill does not meet WP:NGEO guidelines. I can find no significant discussion of it, only mentions of it as a place to drive through and a mention of greenery planted to attract game. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 06:36, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

According to both current maps and old maps like https://maps.nls.uk/view/101602494 (1884) https://maps.nls.uk/view/115390009 (1918) and https://maps.nls.uk/view/189228330 (1955) this is the name of a section of the A60 road, not of a hill.

- I don't think it is a lie, I think the road goes over the top of Cuckney Hill and was named that after the fact - this suggests the A60 bisects it. I found cites in books including the 1868 Gazetteer of Great Britain, and I'm not sure what to make of this but it cites a map from the 1830s. If the various mentions aren't enough to get to a full article, it should be merged or redirected into Cuckney. SportingFlyer T·C 11:27, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- But cites of it don't meet WP:GNG because they're trivial mentions of it. I haven't been able to find significant, discussion of it in depth, and depictions on maps doesn't confer notability. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 08:32, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment A search of the British Newspaper Archive shows that in 1899, Cuckney Hill was described as a "steep declivity"; there have been many fatal accidents there. In the late 1980s, British Coal proposed to extend the Welbeck pit tip to Cuckney Hill - residents protested that it could lead to an Aberfan-type disaster, and said "Until we appointed a geologist, they did not know or accept the existence of the geological junction on the hillside. "They are proposing to put a hill on top of a hill. Cuckney Hill already has a long history of land slippages in wet weather." (Maybe there's a geological report somewhere, about this geological junction.) In 1914, Cuckney Hill was selected as the site of a new cemetery; it was still called Cuckney Hill Cemetery in 1998, when it reached capacity and was extended. The geography of Nottinghamshire names Cuckney Hill as one of the chief points in the range between Worksop and Nottingham, and a 1913 newspaper article called "Mansfield Tours - A Run through the Dukeries - Sherwood's Beauties" says "From the top of Cuckney Hill as fair a view as one might wish to see is spread out before one, and as I dipped down the other side the red-tiled roofs surrounding the ancient church of Cuckney in a delightful setting of green, were prominent in the picture."

A classic case of a redirect with possibilities being needlessly disambiguated. Yes, this term is French for English, but WP:DAB explicitly states that a disambiguation page is not a foreign language dictionary. Sure, there are historical ties between English and French, but this could be said for any number of pairs of languages; it doesn't warrant foreign language disambiguation for all of them. Should be a redirect to the only thing known by this name in English, as it was originally. — Anonymous 19:14, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

a short description of the common general meaning of a word can be appropriate for helping the reader determine context.
"Creme anglaise" is at least as appropriate a navigational result as "country dance" for this word. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:13, 27 March 2025 (UTC)- @Dclemens1971, I don't follow. I'll grant that you could make the argument that a brief definition of the word anglais could not possibly hurt if there were a need for a DAB page to begin with, but providing the definition is not a reason for the existence of said page. Your response also seems to ignore WP:PARTIAL; unless you can provide a source showing where someone refers to "creme anglaise" as simply "anglais(e)" without the extra word, then it will only ever be a partial title match (same with "Les Anglaise"). However, there are sources that refer to the dance as simply "anglais". — Anonymous 16:02, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete, nobody calls Crème anglaise "Anglais", and we Brits just call it custard. "Anglais" isn't a plausible search term for "Law French", and as for the English language and people, it has been rightly said above that Wikipedia isn't a dictionary of foreign terms. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:42, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- Dclemens1971 unintentionally makes an argument against one of the supposed ambiguities. Checking, it turns out that those books never say "anglais" for crème anglaise and always say "anglaise".
However: subtract one, add one. "Anglaise" (also "Anglaise tardive") was an old name for the duke cherry, more formally known (after some jumping about the binomials over the years) as Prunus × gondouinii (redlinked at Prunus subg. Cerasus and List of Prunus species). Equally, I cannot find any good quality musical sources that use "anglais", in actual English, for country dance; only "Anglaise" or "Anglois", sometimes italicized, sometimes not. And no-one calls law French "Anglais" or "Anglaise", not least because that would be a complete misnomer. So:
- Anglaise is ambiguous between crème anglaise, the country dance, and Prunus × gondouinii
- This article title, anglais, is not actually used in English for anything listed on the disambiguation, and doesn't have its own plausible redirect target at all except to (ironically) anglaise.
- The correct course of action seems to be to rename this to anglaise and make it a three-way disambiguation. It is typical of Wikipedia that we have it exactly backwards after 2 decades. Uncle G (talk) 15:15, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Uncle G Anglaise is just the feminine of anglais; it would be silly to have two separate dab pages for what is the same word in French. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:22, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- It is a good thing that I did not say to do that, then. Please read what I actually said that I think to be the correct course of action to take. Uncle G (talk) 15:34, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Uncle G I wasn't saying you said that, I was just pointing out that they are the same word so one dab page will suffice. Often harder to get to a consensus for "move" than for "keep" since a move is an editorial decision, but if it's anglaise instead of anglais, no skin off my nose either way.

- Delete - Notability is not established per WP:NACTOR, WP:MUSICBIO nor WP:GNG. The sourcing consists of standard PR type promo that one would see for any emerging actor with a press agent, including Forbes, which is not significant coverage, it's simply a photo of her with a caption mentioning her name, thus trivial. The Forbes "profile" link above is more standard PR
written by "Forbes Staff", (it does not even have a by-line). I agree with the nom that this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Perhaps in a few more years this emerging actor will become notable, but at this time, one acting role, Spotify "fans" and famous parents is not enough. Netherzone (talk) 15:46, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- It does have a byline and in my view counts as one piece of significant reliable sources coverage. Another reliable bylined piece in the Hindu here, another bylined piece here, leaning Keep for WP:GNG rather than WP:NACTOR imvAtlantic306 (talk) 20:50, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: One film is not sufficient to pass WP:NACTOR. Need at-least three feature films/web series/TV to comply WP:ACTOR. Forbes 30 Under 30 is paid. Bakhtar40 (talk) 18:08, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- General comment: Two is enough. Guideline says: "multiple" not "several". -Mushy Yank. 14:35, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: coverage has her meet WP:GNG. At worst a redirect to The_Archies_(film)#Cast is totally warranted so opposed to deletion. -Mushy Yank. 14:38, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
