May 2014 edit

  1. Tsuba no giri: PROD; notified 144.170.81.6 (talk · contribs) 02:24, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
    • Reason: No sources for this principle of Japanese swordplay. I think what the author is trying to convey, is that you should cut the person with your handguard. As in, use your sword by swinging it farther outwards. That is not notable, as this basic principle of sword fighting could be better described in a single sentence in the Kendo article, if it even exists at all, as the article actually says that it was invented at a Kendo seminar.
  2. Roosevelt Elementary School District: PROD; notified 602girlie (talk · contribs) 03:38, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unverifiable information abounds, and unless somebody could add in some sources, I think this should be deleted as non-notable. The only sources is the official school website, which falls under self published sources, and is not reliable.
  3. Expensivo Jebiendi: BLP PROD; notified Slashbucket (talk · contribs) 20:15, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
  4. Alauya Alonto: BLP PROD; notified Harvey82 (talk · contribs) 23:40, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

June 2014 edit

  1. Roger Carswell: PROD; notified Jdcarswell (talk · contribs) 12:24, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable evangelist. The sources don't give any coverage of him, as they are all homepages, with the exception of the third, which is just a search for his name.
  2. Elkhorn South High School: PROD; notified Gbellss (talk · contribs) 03:02, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
    • Reason: Can't find any sources other than affiliated ones that cover this high school in depth. Non-notable.
  3. Initiative for Democratic Socialism: PROD; notified Antiklinala (talk · contribs) 18:47, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non notable socialist party in Slovenia.

July 2014 edit

  1. Dean Kaelin (Musician): BLP PROD; notified Robbykaelin (talk · contribs) 01:21, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
  2. Jessi June: PROD; notified DRihal (talk · contribs) 03:26, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
    • Reason: No coverage in secondary sources. Only thing she is notable for is possibly being in Penthouse in September 2014, which hasn't happened yet.

August 2014 edit

  1. Vipin mann: BLP PROD; notified Shubhankarchaudhry (talk · contribs) 08:02, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

October 2014 edit

  1. Leslie Dick: PROD; notified Tadiehl (talk · contribs) 00:26, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable artist. She wrote some books, and also contributes to X-Tra Arts Quarterly, some sort of artist newsletter. She also collaborated with Martin Kersels. She is not regarded as an important figure, has not pioneered any new art styles, hasn't written any really good books, and also hasn't been significantly acclaimed, thereby failing WP:AUTHOR. According to WP:NACADEMICS, she'd have to make a big contribution to her area of study, (hasn't happened), get a highly prestigious award (no awards), has to be an elected member of a highly prestigious organization (X-TRA Contemporary Art Quarterly doesn't really apply). X-TRA Contemporary Art Quarterly isn't a well respected academic journal. The only criteria I can think of is criteria 6 (which states that if the person was at a highest level at an institution that person is notable), although Leslie Dick is a program co-director, meaning that she is not the highest level at the institution of CalArts, rather a co-director of one of the programs, of which the program's actual director is Tom Leeser. As well, the references provided don't significantly cover Leslie Dick, with the first and second sources (X-Tra arts and CalArts) being affiliated, and the third source being a recounting/story of an experience she had in the city once (primary source as well as presumably partially written by Leslie Dick). The fourth source is other author "reviews" of her book (no editorial control). The fifth and sixth sources are Kirkus reviews of her books, which may allow it to pass WP:BKCRIT if you have an extremely liberal interpretation of that policy. The WP:BKCRIT states however, there must be multiple, independent, reviews of the subject, of which some must be more of a plot summary. I only see Kirkus Reviews, and the first is only a glorified plot summary, and openly admits that it doesn't analyze it. The second book, "The Skull of Charlotte Corday", also only has this one Kirkus review. The seventh source just states that she contributed to a book about another author. The eight source also falls very short, simply stating she collaborated with Martin Kersels, a kind of notable artist who is another co-director at CalArts. In the ninth source, it is simply a promotional piece for a museums exhibition of an experimental slideshow of some sort. The tenth source, Seven Days in the Art World, is quite literally a 3 paragraph interview with Leslie Dick, about the art world. Pretty much a quotation. Taking the WP:NACADEMIC, WP:CREATIVE, and WP:AUTHOR notability criterions into account (of which Dick fails all of them), as well as the inability of the included sources to evidence the notability of Leslie Dick, combined with a lack of non affiliated sources about Leslie Dick, leads me to conclude that there is a lack of notability of Leslie Dick for the foreseeable future.

November 2014 edit

  1. Isabella Golding: PROD; notified Tahnimayfair (talk · contribs) 13:07, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable Australian suffragist, only one source (the Australian Dictionary of Biography, which covers her in a shared entry with her sister, and mostly covering her sister in that entry, giving Isabella a passing mention), and only one other I could find was from the Australian Women's Register, which exclusively used the aforementioned ADB as a source, only restating info found in the ADB. Notability requires multiple sources, and since the Australian Women's Register only rephrased the ADB, it should be treated as the same source.

Also, based on WP:ANYBIO, she would not be notable, as being "the first female inspector of public schools" is not very notable, and the ADB says she was the "first female inspector" (this is under the Early Closing Act of 1899, which moderately expanded the scope of inspectors to cover shops [and no mention of schools]), I would say that is a blatant lie, since Augusta Zadow was the first female government inspector in Australia. Since Isabella Golding's "claim to fame", so to speak, would be being the first female inspector, the fact that she is not the first female inspector pretty much makes her non-notable (as per WP:ANYBIO, because her well-known or significant honor [that of being the first female inspector] or alternately, her widely-recognized [no sources other than the ADB recognize her, and the ADB only recognizes her in conjunction with her sister] contribution, doesn't actually exist).

December 2014 edit

  1. Island Pacific School: PROD; notified Eagle The Great (talk · contribs) 20:53, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
    • Reason: An extremely small private school. Can't find any reliable sources that establish notability, and WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES suggests that, since this is essentially a middle school, it should be deleted. Also, all the sources in the article are from their website.
  2. Chick Magnet (film): PROD; notified Ashliveslove (talk · contribs) 21:11, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable movie, only refs are to the website, and Rotten Tomatoes has quite literally 0 reviews by critics (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/chick_magnet_2011/reviews/). If that isn't an indicator of non-notability, I don't know what is. Also, doesn't fulfill any of the WP:NFILM criterion. On IMDB, the only "professional" reviews are from Movie Buzzers (a site I'm not going on as Google says it has malware), "Movie Mavericks", a WP:Self published source, and a blogspot website in German. Unless this movie is taught in some high level university classes, which I highly doubt, or was selected for preservation in a national archive, or is a huge milestone in film making, I do not think that this film is currently notable in any way whatsoever, will not be notable in the foreseeable future, and could only possibly be notable if thousands of years from now, archaeologists lose literally all knowledge of the film industry for millenia, and this film is discovered like the Rosetta Stone, and is hailed as representative of the gradual quantity increase of independent movies and the consequent downturn in quality amongst them. But the Rosetta Stone was at least notable outside of being discovered.

January 2015 edit

  1. Beth Levin(linguist): BLP PROD; notified LingLass (talk · contribs) 04:46, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
  2. Leonardo Garet: BLP PROD; notified Poet38 (talk · contribs) 14:34, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

February 2015 edit

  1. J.J Styles: BLP PROD; notified Jayson.MajorFan101 (talk · contribs) 14:45, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

March 2015 edit

  1. Science for the contemporary world: PROD; notified O.I-14-m.aguirre (talk · contribs) 19:33, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not very notable, it's either a subject of the IB program or the Spanish education system in general. Maybe it's a course?
  2. Centre for Women, Ageing and Media: PROD; notified MaudeG3 (talk · contribs) 23:53, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
    • Reason: Based off of affiliated sources, which can't establish notability. Only article that isn't affiliated is the Karpf ref, which has absolutely no mention of WAM.

April 2015 edit

  1. Dollar imperialism: PROD; notified Vanished user sojweiorj34i4f (talk · contribs) 04:12, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
    • Reason: Cannot be more than a dictionary definition of the term which was coined by Molotov.

May 2015 edit

  1. Turing (programming language): PROD; notified WojPob (talk · contribs) 04:28, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
    • Reason: All sources are affiliated with Holtsoft, creators of Turing. Non-notable programming language as it fails WP:GNG, no sources.

July 2015 edit

  1. Lycée Français Toronto: PROD; notified WhisperToMe (talk · contribs) 02:21, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
    • Reason: All references are affiliated (does not establish notability), and a Google search reveals no other notability establishing sources.
  2. Collège privé de Marcq: PROD; notified Paulux123 (talk · contribs) 17:45, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
    • Reason: Despite the name, this is not a "college" in the English sense of the word, it is a school for the 3rd to 6th grades/years, making it an elementary school. The lack of sources I can find covering this school means that it should probably be deleted, failing WP:ORG, and WP:GNG.

August 2015 edit

  1. Hobo bag: PROD; notified Starfly314 (talk · contribs) 06:03, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unsourced article, Google search + GNews search didn't turn up anything. Fails WP:GNG.

February 2021 edit

  1. Batay-Csorba Architects: PROD; notified KeanuSalimi (talk · contribs) 22:18, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fails WP:NCORP. Almost all citations are affiliated with the architecture firm in question and said firm only has a few minor industry awards. Borderline G11

November 2021 edit

  1. The Underground (newspaper): PROD; notified Sexymofo (talk · contribs) 19:23, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable student newspaper of a satellite campus of the University of Toronto.
  2. MONDO Magazine: PROD; notified Gozu00 (talk · contribs) 20:00, 18 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable student organization at York University. Article is completely unsourced and I cannot find any coverage of it.
  3. Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies: PROD; notified M2dick (talk · contribs) 19:05, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable subdivision of York University.
  4. Centre for Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases: PROD; notified H. Sepehr (talk · contribs) 19:13, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Highly doubt this entity at the University of Toronto is notable. Article has exactly one reference that supports almost none of the content. Binging "Tanz CRND" or "Centre for Research in Neurodegenerative Diseases" yields no sources that are unaffiliated with the university, let alone any reliable sources covering this institute in enough detail to satisfy WP:NORG. Also note WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, generally sub-entities of larger universities aren't notable unless they've made significant contributions to the field that they're situated in. This entity does not appear to be any any special significance; I could not find sources backing up the claims that Tanz CRND's discoveries are especially important.

December 2021 edit

  1. Ivey International Centre for Health Innovation: PROD; notified Ichil.ivey (talk · contribs) 16:27, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable sub entity of Western University. Most of the claims in the article were written by User:Ichil.ivey, who likely has a conflict of interest with respect to the subject. Much of the exaggerated claims about the centre's importance are uncited and unsupported; the ones that are cited are cited to the university itself. This shouldn't be a merge, so much as a straight out deletion since the content isn't very useful.
      After scrolling through several pages of Bing results, I have been unable to find any independent reliable sources that even mention the "Ivey International Centre for Health Innovation". The only sources I could find are the school itself, the Government of Canada announcing they've funded the school, and a bunch of Wikipedia mirrors. So this fails WP:NORG. Also note that the pseudo-policy WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES says that articles on subentities of universities can be kept if they have significant contributions to their field. The Ivey International Centre for Health Innovation has not made any significant contributions to its field that I am aware of.
  2. Centre for the Study of Democracy (Queen's University, Ontario): PROD; notified MatJohnson (talk · contribs) 05:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Doubt this is notable. Completely unsourced and seems to fail WP:NORG. Note WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES that says that subentities of universities are generally only notable if they have made "significant contributions" to their field.
  3. Queen's Marketing Association Conference: PROD; notified Gocalgaryflames (talk · contribs) 05:07, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: I really doubt this is notable. I'm not particularly sure what it is, but it seems to fail WP:NORG given I can't find any coverage of it online. Perhaps it's a student group of some kind?
  4. Student Peace Alliance: PROD; notified Sigma86~enwiki (talk · contribs) 05:12, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable student group of some kind. Doesn't appear to have much coverage.
  5. Center for the Prevention of Suicide: PROD; notified Karol Langner (talk · contribs) 05:16, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable subentity of the University of Pennsylvania. Fails WP:NORG. Also see WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, subentities of schools are not usually notable unless they make significant contributions to their field. Not seeing that here.
  6. Ortner Center on Violence & Abuse in Relationships: PROD; notified Olivia482 (talk · contribs) 05:21, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable sub-entity of the University of Pennsyvlania. Fails WP:NORG as I couldn't find many sources that actually cover the centre in depth. While experts from the centre have been quoted many times in news articles, that doesn't pass NORG. Additionally see WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES which explains that generally subentities of universities aren't kept unless they have made significant contributions to their field, which doesn't appear to be supported by the sources here.
  7. Center for the Advanced Study of India: PROD; notified Indiastudies (talk · contribs) 05:29, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable sub-entity of the University of Pennsylvania. Article was created by the possibly affiliated editor Indiastudies and is somewhat promotional and poorly referenced to independent sources. The only independent source; rediff, is an example of trivial coverage of personnel changes that doesn't satisfy WP:NORG. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES says that subentities of universities are generally kept if they've made "significant contributions" to their field. While arguably CASI is the leading center for India studies in the United States, that is because it's the only center for India studies in the United States. If one was to judge CASI against academic research centers in the US that focus on other countries (like the many that study China), CASI is not a very important center.
  8. University of Toronto Karate Club: PROD; notified Sbrosszell (talk · contribs) 03:16, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: I really doubt the karate club at the University of Toronto is notable under WP:NORG. Searches have shown no independent reliable sources.
  9. Revolutionary Communist Party of Ivory Coast: PROD; notified T L Miles (talk · contribs) 07:52, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable minor Communist party. Provided sources fail to demonstrate the requirements of WP:NORG. Could not find any reliable sources covering this party after a Bing search. Note that this is not the "main" Communist party of Cote D'ivoire and is a minor fringe group following Hoxhaism.

November 2022 edit

  1. The West Pole, Texas: PROD; notified Clio's Revenge (talk · contribs) 19:23, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
    • Reason: By definition, a West Pole cannot geographically exist as the "poles" refers to the rotation of the Earth and the Earth only rotates around the North/South poles. I doubt The West Pole is notable.
