1. Manisha Kohli: nominated at AfD; notified Randhirreddy (talk · contribs) 05:18, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
   • Reason: Fails WP:ANYBIO, and WP:NACTOR. The article is a stub claiming that she is a model who won a beauty pageant 35 years ago, and acted in a film. There is a sourced claim that she won Miss India in 1987. I doubt that that would be sufficient on its own, but the claim and the underlying source (nothing but a caption on a company PR photo) actually appear to be incorrect. A better source is https://www.timescontent.com/syndication-photos/reprint/fashion/264784/priyadarshini-pradhan-manisha-kohli.html which states that Priyadarshini Pradhan won Miss India in 1987, and Manisha Kohli was the runner up. Our article on the pageant, Femina Miss India, agrees that Priyadarshini Pradhan won in 1987, and that Manisha Kohli was sent to represent India at Miss World as the runner up in the 1987 pageant. She did not place at Miss World (see Miss World 1987).
     The article also contains an unsourced claim that she was in a movie. IMDB does mention someone of that name in Avam (1987) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0158477/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ql_cl and Do Gulab (1983) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0214634/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ql_cl . It seems likely these were not major roles as IMDB does not even have a picture of her, and has almost no biographical content.
     The claim that she is (was) a model is not sourced.
     If someone can find sufficient material to show notability I'll happily withdraw this, but I can find virtually nothing but mirrors of Wikipedia's article.

1. File:Right-wing political commentator Matt Walsh.jpeg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Fantboy3 (talk · contribs) 05:02, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
   • Reason: A copyrighted image of a living person uploaded as Non-free use. It fails WP:NFCI, and WP:NFC#UUI item 1 as it should be possible to take a free use picture which would serve the same purpose, and it is not in use in any article, although it was briefly.

August 2022

1. Justin Best: nominated at AfD; notified Lugnuts (talk · contribs) 01:16, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
   • Reason: A stub about an athelete who competed in one Olympic Game, in one team event. Made the rowing 8s final via the Repechage but finished out of medals. Simply competing, even if it has been an individual event, does not meet WP:NOLYMPICS, thus he does not meet WP:ATHLETE. He had some success with the US team rowing in junior events. I have been unable to find any independent indepth coverage of him to show he meets WP:BIO

January 2023

1. Kush Patel: nominated at RfD; Target: American Red Cross (notified); notified 128.135.219.10 (talk · contribs) 21:35, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
   • Reason: This started out in 2005 as an unsourced bio stub, which simply claimed that someone named Kush Patel was the youngest living recipient of the Clara Barton Award [1]. If it were an article it would now be subject to BLPPROD, but it was tagged as a stub and then redirected to the unsourced stub Clara Barton Award, which has itself since been redirected to American Red Cross. The Red Cross article does not mention the Clara Barton Award, although such an award does exist. I have been unable to verify that Kush Patel was awarded the Clara Barton Award, let alone that he was the youngest living recipient in 2005. I think we should delete this redirect.

May 2023

1. Josh Alcorn: nominated at RfD; Target: Leelah Alcorn (notified); notified The Almightey Drill (talk · contribs) 03:26, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
   • Reason: Third party request for user:WarriorPlate per misplaced thread at ANI Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Please speedily delete Josh Alcorn. Rationale was This redirect page violates Wikipedia's policy on deadnames, when the transgender individual was not notable under the deadname. This individual wasn't notable under her deadname, Josh Alcorn. This appears to be a valid concern.

October 2023

1. File:Mater (Cars).png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Carniolus (talk · contribs) 06:52, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
   • Reason: This is a non-free image for which it is claimed that it cannot be replaced as no free image exists, but we have the free image file:Mater_(9284955990).jpg Meters (talk) 06:52, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
2. File:Doc Hudson.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Carniolus (talk · contribs) 07:04, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
   • Reason: Claim is that this is not replaceable as: "There is no free image available that depicts this character" but we have the free image file:1952 Hudson Hornet ' Doc ' (24400455231).jpg
     Raising it at XFD as the free image keeps getting removed form the article and replaced by the non-free image, invalidating the Di-orphaned non-free use template. Meters (talk) 07:04, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

August 2024

1. Jane Buchanan: nominated at AfD; notified Nechasin (talk · contribs) 23:17, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
   • Reason: A recent stub about an engineering company vice president, for a company which does not have Wikipedia article, and that's all it says. I removed unsourced claims about her previous unspecified employment with another company (which does have an article), and the high school she supposedly attended. No in depth coverage of her found, just passing mentions. No apparent notability. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. Note that this article appears to have been created to avoid a red link in a high school article since it was created minutes after the person was added as an alumnus. Not a WP:BLPPROD candidate since her current position is sourced. I'm assuming that a claim of being a vice president is enough of a credible claim of significance to avoid WP:A7.
