This group of colleges does not meet the WP:NSCHOOL guidelines because it falls short in several important ways. There isn’t enough coverage from independent and trustworthy sources, which is needed to show that the colleges are notable. Without strong recognition or mention in well-known and reliable publications (as required by WP:RSP), the colleges don’t have the visibility or significance needed to meet notability standards.

- Keep, there are examples of non-routine coverage, including detailed coverage of specific candidates filing 1, which shows some notability per WP:NOTROUTINE. There is also various coverage for the prior representative resigning 2, especially how he won the election after. Several of these sources comment on the special election. Routine coverage would be seen as bare reporting of results, also per NOTROUTINE. The other candidate source, 3, goes into detailed coverage of each candidate, which is also not routine. More of the coverage is focused on the primary, of course, and many of these sources are not incorporated into the article, though it could be. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 18:27, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Kept before due to a guideline that no longer exists. 18 games in the USSF Division 2 Professional League isn't a very strong claim to notability, but the main problem is of course the sources.

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. If the article needed to be split out for size reasons (which wasn't the case here) it was important that the article split did not create the false impression they were seperate categories. The split-off version is superfluous in any case now because I have reverted the split on the parent article. Betty Logan (talk) 17:07, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

He was interviewed by Hollywood Reporter for his unique casting work in the film Port Authority, in which the casting made history for trans and queer representation. Other casting directors on Wikipedia have only their IMDB listed as reference. For Damian, you can find articles about him or mentions from actors and other filmmakers crediting him.

This article – an ORPHAN'd stub – has existed for nearly 20 years, and as far as I can tell, during this time it has not had a single reliable source to support its contents. Put simply I don't think this deity is even real – the only source it has right now doesn't mention it at all, and is used to source the existence of another deity that the article claims it might be related to – again, with no source.

- Yep, the sources are referring to Shalim, not some god named "Salman". Sinclairian (talk) 20:40, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
- Höfner in any case does refer to a god under the name of "Salmān". So there's that, even though I don't get yet if that may be the same god as Shalim. Höfner refers back to yet another source on the topic:
- Caskel, Werner. Lihyan und Lihyanisch. pp. 46, 48–49, 58.
- Thanks for Caskel, i'll try to find a full copy. I'm wondering how Šulmán from William F. Albright (JSTOR 41662002) and S/Šalmänu from Karen Radner (both seemingly covered in the Shulmanu article) are related to our S/Šalmän. Šalmän and Šulmán are described as Syro-Mesopotamian (Becking does cite Albright but not very clear) and Šalmänu described as Akkadian (one source clearly discussing our Šalmän cites Radner.) I don't know if i'm reading the sources correctly or maybe our sources just cannot be definitive as to how they are related. fiveby(zero) 18:46, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep After following the citations. Becking's 'Shalman' entry is a valid reference, same deity, it is just his particular choice of romanization. Maria Höfner from above has: "Salmän (Šalmän)", S with caron (see del Carmen Hidalgo-Chacón Díez above Figure 4 and "in Dadanitic, the reflex of the Proto-Semitic */š/ and */s/ was pronounced [ʃ]". There probably won't ever be much content, just a list of attestations. I'll add sources to the article. Should probably move back to Salman (deity) tho. fiveby(zero) 06:25, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. To my (pretty limited) understanding of the Near East, the Reallexikon der Assyriologie und Vorderasiatischen Archäologie is a bit like what Brill's New Pauly is for Greece. Radner's article in the RIA seemingly discusses this figure, and her 1998 work "Der Gott Salmānu („Šulmānu”) und seine Beziehung zur Stadt Dūr-Katlimmu" seems to be devoted to the matter. Seeing as this 1998 paper cites Becking's article in the DDD, they would all seem to be speaking about the same deity. Höfner is cited by Becking, and the two are clearly talking about the same figure. That would mean that, seemingly, we have around half a dozen sources, at least one of which is very detailed; so, there's enough for an article of some form.
- As to Shulmanu, looking at the relevant part of the linked source (pp. 388–389), their use of Radner 1998 in discussing the figure means that the two are talking about the same deity, and so (assuming that Radner 1998 and Becking are indeed referring to the same figure) I think all of the sources here are discussing the same figure. If this is indeed the case, Shulmanu should probably be merged here (as I think "Salman" is the more common name, though "Salmanu" would perhaps be best?). – Michael Aurel (talk) 01:39, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Radner cites Becking to say the connection is uncertain and unlikely in her opinion:
Whether Salmānu is to be identified with s/šlmn in Old South Arabic texts, šlmn in Ugaritic texts and (ršp)-šl/rmn in an Egyptian votive stele of the 20th and 21st dynasty[citing Becking] is uncertain and irrelevant to our discussion. However, I consider a connection to be rather unlikely.[also see fn 26 on "extremely speculative attempts to connect to Solomon and Jerusalem]
- also:
Following up the aforementioned hypothesis of a pre-Islamic origin for these Arabic names, it makes sense to relate them to theophoric anthroponyms with this Semitic root. Two pertinent deities in the ancient Near Eastern pantheon are the Syro-Mesopotamian god Sulmän (cf. Albright1 932) and the Canaanite deity Salim. The deity S/Šalmän "is attested in Hatra, Palmyra and in North and South Arabian texts" (Becking 1 999 :758). Höfner & Merkel ( 1 965 : 466f.) portray him as a horseman ' s deity; the name form recalls Akkadian Sulmänu.

JSTOR medilangrevi.13.2001.0175. - I think that's enough to say Cannanite Salim, Syro-Mesopotamian S/Šalmän and Akkadian S/Šalmänu should be clearly different topics. Still unsure about Šulmán. fiveby(zero) 18:13, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Right, I did see that... I think my confusion arose from the fact that the Mesopotamian Šulmānu is the same figure as the Aramaic and Hebrew šlmn, just – in Radner's view, at least – not the Ugaritic šlmn (figures with the same name, both Northwest Semitic, but apparently separate...). Becking does also note that there are scholars who have seen the Ugaritic and Egyptian figures as being Shulman, though he only cites Albright for this view (who is presumably out of date), leaving it unclear as to who else (if anyone else) might have been of this opinion.
- As to Šulmānu and Šalmānu, the latter is the Assyrian name for the former (that is, the two are the same figure). So there would seem to be two figures here – Šalmānu and S/Šalmän – who are (at least in Radner's view, and I think we can trust her) separate. Timm, I notice, is a little more agnostic on the matter, stating that the Egyptian name might refer to our deity here or to the Akkadian god, and saying that the former may have been widespread already by the Canaanite period. Whatever the case, it's probably sensible to keep the two pages separate, discussing the attestation of our deity here from the Middle Assyrian period through to the Roman/Byzantine era, and moving the page on Shulmanu to a better title; then the degree to which the two are separate can be discussed appropriately at each article. – Michael Aurel (talk) 06:43, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Are there more recent works dealing with this subject at all? Wondering if maybe some major strides have been made in the past 10-15 years. Otherwise this seems too muddled to rule on. Sinclairian (talk) 14:11, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- I haven't come across anything in the last
10-15 years
specifically, but I think the sources found above are (hopefully) recent enough to be used in the article. From what I've come across, I think these are the main sources here (for this figure in particular):- Becking (1999)
- Höfner (1965)
- Timm (1989)
- These are, in essence, Becking and the sources cited by Becking, and I think we can safely say that they're all referring to the deity covered by this page; importantly, I do there's enough here for WP:SIGCOV (per Becking and Timm in particular).
- Now, as to the other deity which has been discussed here (the one currently covered by Shulmanu), I have to admit that the degree to which the two are separate still isn't all that clear to me. To give just one example, the above-cited article from del Carmen Hidalgo-Chacón Díez is presumably talking about our "Salman", seeing as she cites Höfner for details on the deity, but then she indicates that this Dadanitic figure has come from the Aramaic name, with Radner stating that the Aramaic name is referring to the Mespotamian deity, but then Radner also states that the two deities are probably separate! Whatever the case, having two separate pages does seem sensible to me, and I think we hopefully have enough to justify keeping the article in question here (Salman (myth)). – Michael Aurel (talk) 02:48, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry for late reply.
- Höfner almost certainly falls outside the parameters of WP:RSAGE, and Becking and Timm are both 20+ years old, which, while not necessarily a deal breaker, does give me an iota of pause. If we can find something more recent, we ought to seek it out. Sinclairian (talk) 12:26, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

- I believe this proposal is fundamentally flawed and reflects a lack of understanding. Your last sentence, and I quote — "but otherwise this seems pretty small beer in the context of the current war" — reveals a serious misunderstanding of the situation in Israel. The terror attack has no direct connection to Israel's war in Gaza. Attacks like the one that occurred today have been happening in Israel long before the current conflict began. In fact, this is a long-standing modus operandi among certain Arab groups that has persisted for years. Rafi Chazon (talk) 19:22, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

The main Nahal Oz article already contains images of a previous memorial and has coverage of previous attacks, based on only two citations and a somewhat unencyclopedic description text I don't see why this specific memorial should have its own article and not be merged into the Nahal Oz article like the other one.

No evidence the river exists.

- Nothing comes up in a Google search
- The one external link in the article does not mention the river

Green Montanan (talk) 13:19, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: the map cited in the article mentions the "Casas Grandes-Santa Maria-Carmen" river basin. From the top of the search hits, this talks about "Along permanent streams (in particular, the Rio Casas Grandes, Rio Santa Maria, and Rio Carmen), irrigation farming was ..." [ This] talks about "Five of these small basins have been examined as follows: the Rio Carmen which drains into Lago de Patos, the Rio Santa Maria which drains into Lago de Santa Maria, the Rio Casas Grande which drains into Lago de Guzman, the Rio Castillos which drains into Lago de Castillos", etc. Isn't that confirmation of the river's existence? Geschichte (talk) 13:38, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not sure that's enough yet to establish sufficient notability. The picture is river basins. Given there is a watershed and river system called the Rio del Carmen in Mexico (mentioned additionally, for example, here), it doesn't seem impossible that the original editor saw "Rio Del Carmen" in the picture, translated "Rio" into River and created the article assuming it was a river. However, the article you've found talks abut a stream which suggests it is something somewhat smaller and less significant than a river (and the name Carmen is likely used for hundreds of streams).

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I created this article about a college basketball tournament that will clearly not take place. The tournament organizers announced there would be a 2025 edition in February, and published a schedule. As the start date approached, the organizers blanked the page on their website, where the schedule previously resided. Other than an article in which the Associated Press made an error and and put "CIT" in the article's title instead of "CBC", which is the tournament actually described in the article, the information in this article cannot be supported by WP:RS and cannot be verified. Because many news outlets use content from the Associated Press, the erroneously titled article may be found in other places. Nevertheless, it is not about this tournament. All attempts to find reliable sources that are actually about this tournament have failed. Only the original announcement survives on the Wayback Machine. Since the only source for the subject of this article exists on the Internet Archive and was written by tournament organizers, there is no source at all that is independent of the article's subject, causing the article to fail WP:N. Since the tournament will not take place, it is unlikely anything will be written about it by an independent source in the future. Keeping this article would violate WP:INDISCRIMINATE, since a tournament that was announced and cancelled the following month and will never take place is neither notable nor worthy of notice. At least one editor has added a speculative statement to the article that may constitute WP:OR. Since this tournament occupied a low rung in the college basketball tournament hierarchy, no independent source is writing about it, much less writing things that support the claims this editor is making. Coining used WP:PROD to propose deletion of this article, since it appeared uncontroversial. The nomination was seconded by RickinBaltimore. Soccerfan10001 removed the proposed deletion tag without leaving an edit summary. There have been other years in which this tournament did not take place, and there are no articles on Wikipedia for those nonexistent editions of the tournament. A mention of the announcement of the 2025 tournament and its blatantly obvious cancellation has been added to the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament article for completeness, and I made a sattement to that effect at Talk:2025 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament.

- Delete unless an editor can furnish evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources independent of Tohi. Persian BBC did discuss his music but evaluating whether or not that coverage was significant would require analysis by a Persian/Farsi speaker. I suspect that this was a brief introduction to playing a bit of his music. Since he now lives in Los Angeles, English coverage might be expected, but all I found was one highly promotional non-independent item obviously generated by a press release or public relations activity.

- As for actual notability, please note that WP:PROF is not about third-party references and it explicitly states that third-party references are not required as evidence for WP:PROF notability. (Or, put another way, we have thousands of third-party references, all of those papers that cite Manning's papers, and the problem is not one of having too few sources but rather too many to sift through.) —David Eppstein (talk) 22:24, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. I've been notified of this discussion, and indeed, according to the page history, I created this article in 2007 with the edit summary "recreated deleted article on user request". I have no recollection whatsoever as to who made this request to me or why I acted on it. But I agree that the article fails our current inclusion standards because it lacks any third-party references and does not describe why its subject might be notable. Sandstein 14:40, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. I agree that WP:Prof#C1 is satisfied. The work on arsenates is getting 3-figure and 4-figure citation numbers, which is strong for this fairly low-citation field (environmental geochemistry). The page does need some work to flesh it out some more. Qflib (talk) 15:57, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

And #C5 is for chairs given to individual professors in recognition of outstanding scholarship, not for chairs of departments. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:08, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per Prof#C1. As for the potential conflict of interest, it's tenuous: the SFSU President and I went to high school. Substantially, his top articles were cited 1,049, 895, 820, 786, and 569 times. He seems to be a very private person, who never grants interviews. I added a couple of sources. The "expert in" sentence in the lead paragraph is sufficient allegation of notability. Bearian (talk) 22:03, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. I disagree about WP:NPROF#C1. While one paper with > 1K citations is relevant, if you look at his co-author and also here the contrast is stark; Fendorf has an h-factor of 99 and a string of Fellow elections. From this comparison I don't think that this is really a low citation field. If he had some of those Fellow elections then, of course it would be different. However, without them I view it as close but not sustained enough.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldm1954 (talk • contribs)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Differentiable vector–valued functions from Euclidean space has interrelated issues. I'm not able to find other sources than the sole one that the article cites (F. Trèves' book on topological vector spaces). I think inasmuch as it is different from just, multivariable differential calculus, it is not a notable topic—in that sense, it may be seen a content fork, where the page is about an obscure TVS approach to a well-known topic that probably doesn't merit coverage on the article about the latter. It is also written in WP:NOTTEXTBOOK-like style, quite closesly paraphrasing Trèves. For example, the portion starting at Differentiable vector–valued functions from Euclidean space#Space of Ck functions corresponds tightly to the portion of Trèves starting at Notation 40.1; see an example of this below:
Article:
Suppose is a sequence of relatively compact open subsets of whose union is and that satisfy for all Suppose that is a basis of neighborhoods of the origin in Then for any integer the sets: form a basis of neighborhoods of the origin for as and vary in all possible ways.
Trèves:
Consider a sequence of relatively compact open subsets of whose union is equal to , an arbitrary integer , a basis of neighborhoods of zero in , [namely] . As and vary in all possible ways, the subsets of , form a basis of neighborhoods of zero for the topology.

This is an article on a particularly important company, however, it has languished for eight years with only two marginal sources, a situation faced by many B2B and B2G firms. Unfortunately, a thorough WP:BEFORE search fails to find anything that could redeem it, however, this may be frustrated a bit by the non-unique name.

For some reason the title was changed from that (the actual organization name) to ANSER at some distant time. I can find many company announcements and, as they are essentially a gov't contractor, gov't documents that name award amounts. I do not find independent sources.

A minor character in the DC Comics continuity. A search was difficult given the generic name of the character, but no matter what key words I used, the only coverage of Legs I found was in conjunction with Anarky, and only as TRIVIALMENTIONs at that. There is no coverage on this character beyond that, making him a WP:GNG failure. A possible AtD redirect could be to Anarky, who is the character Legs is most strongly associated with.

- Delete. I suppose it could also be merged to list of Batman supporting characters but this character is so minor I don't think it is worth it. Rhino131 (talk) 17:24, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

A pair of minor characters from the DC Comics continuity. Both have very little coverage, and absolutely no SIGCOV I can find barring ROUTINE announcements of returns. A complete failure of GNG. A possible AtD could be to Harley Quinn, given she is their owner. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 00:33, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. I don't see a need for a redirect since I can't see anyone wanting to search for two hyenas. Rhino131 (talk) 17:25, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

An incredibly minor character with basically zero reliable, significant coverage I can find. Complete failure of WP:GNG. I do not mind a redirect, but he seems like such a minor character that I'm not sure if he needs to stick around or not. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 00:20, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

- Keep or merge with List of DC Comics characters: R in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. --Rtkat3 (talk) 01:21, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Merge selectively and redirect to Circus of Strange, with which the character is affiliated according to Comics through Time, p. 1361. Daranios (talk) 16:17, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
