All the sources were the organization's own YouTube and Instagram accounts (which I removed per WP:RSPYT and WP:RSPINSTAGRAM). There is no independent coverage at all.

List of films featuring domestic violence

Mere list-by-title of films which fit this category, no reason to be its own page instead of a category (if it should even exist at all). No notes/commentary/descriptions are given as to how each film fits this description. Personally would support draftification over deletion if other editors are willing to work on making it a suitable list.

Shoccoree-Eno language

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I propose merging to Shakori because the article concerns an extremely poorly attested and unclassified language for which it states that only one word is known. The three cited sources appear to support individual historical or linguistic details, but do not appear to provide significant independent coverage of a distinct subject called the “Shoccoree–Eno language” sufficient for a standalone article. There may be a WP:SYNTH concern.

Most of the available information concerns the Shakori and Eno peoples, their possible linguistic affiliation, and the survival of an Eno dialect. That material can be covered adequately and with better context in the existing language section of Shakori. A redirect would preserve the searchable title and the article history while avoiding a standalone page based largely on brief source mentions. Nativecrusader (talk) 08:57, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Merge per nominator's rationale. Is there a specific reason why you didn't just boldly perform the merge yourself? This proposal seems uncontroversial and it's just 1 paragraph. FaviFake (talk) 09:00, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply
Sometimes I nominated articles which I thought were uncontroversial, but they ended up being kept. I am also new, so I want to give myself more examples of articles being kept/merged/deleted for different reasons before I start doing them without nominations, so I do not create unnecessary trouble. HerrHeulsuse (talk) 09:19, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply
Makes sense! In general you can always try to merge the article first and then see if someone reverts it, unless the page is popular or very long. If they do revert you, you can open an AfD discussion :)
In this case the page is extremely small so i doubt anyone would ever oppose it. FaviFake (talk) 09:23, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply

GAZ Volga page pretty much copies the content of this one with more information, the pages feel like duplicates of each other. Anon13131313 (talk) 10:07, 24 July 2026 (UTC)reply

Oppose. GAZ Volga covers the original line of cars. This article is (or appears to have been intended to be) about the revived brand of rebadged Chinese models. There is no reason to make information more difficult to find by combining the two. --Sable232 (talk) 14:15, 26 July 2026 (UTC) As an aside since I'm now part of this mess - dumping merge discussions into AfD is the single stupidest thing Wikipedia has ever done.

I won't argue, there are six different cars that have Volga as the brand name (seven if you include Siber, which brand relation is a debate in itself) and it would be nice to have information about them listed seperately. I just couldn't think of many examples of car models turning into their own brands to find their pages. What also doesn't help is the fact that all the cars supposed for the original model page are listed here. Now that I think about it, old Volgas were definetely sold as its own brand outside of Soviet Union which is also worth mentioning in the articles. Anon13131313 (talk) 17:35, 26 July 2026 (UTC)reply

Brunswick star

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Performing WP:AFD2 for a WP:TA requested at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Archive 80 § No sources for the name "Brunswick Star":

== No sources for the name "Brunswick Star" ==
Hi, so I'm here because at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#How_to_nominate_a_single_page_for_deletion it says "post a message at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion requesting that someone else perform the nomination, making sure to explain your rationale there."
The article is Brunswick Star https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunswick_star. It has two references but neither even uses the term Brunswick Star.
The reference desk editors tried to find sources to improve this and could not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Humanities/2026_July_1#Brunswick_star
Notably, they also couldn't find the term used in published heraldry books.
So possibly this is not a real term and the article should be deleted?

Comment It's certainly a real thing - see many references from the 19th century regarding its use in regimental badges, and also in cut-glass decoration and postal cancellation stamps - but I'm not convinced it has a single clear definition.

Keep - the Brunswick Star pattern is a real term as stated in the above comment. It is discussed as used on a badge in some British military regiments in this book. It's also referenced in books about cut-glass (e.g. English and Irish Cut Glass 1750-1950 by E.M. Elville, 1953), articles about cut glass, and in quilting, such a museum website, and a university collection.

Comment: for clarity, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Princess Olga of Hanover (b. 1958) was for someone else with this title (as the disambiguation shows, that one was born in 1958; the current subject died that year). At one point, a previous iteration of this article (after the first deletion in 2020, a 2024 recreation was quickly G4'd) was actually called Princess Olga of Hanover (1884–1958) instead in deference to the other one (which, to add to the confusion, was the original article at this title, before the existence of articles for both necessitated disambiguation in 2008).

I neither like nor dislike. I merely want the community to weigh in as this article was previously deleted.

If that is the best argument for keeping the article, th article should be deleted. We have a guideline, WP:INVALIDBIO, which clearly states that A being related to someone notable "is not a reason for a standalone article on A". If she did indeed fill the columns of newspapers, please show it because that would be a proof of notability. Surtsicna (talk) 17:56, 27 July 2026 (UTC)reply
Sorry, but I don't have access to hard copies of 19C/early 20C German newspapers! But, as we should all know, they are still valid sources. As we all also should know, royal families were a big deal at the time and "being related to someone notable" doesn't really apply to a king's granddaughter. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:19, 30 July 2026 (UTC)reply

KEEP I'm new to this so apologies for any misstep but I think it's useful to keep an actual page for this person because of the other people with the same name and title. It would be of use to any researcher or interested person to have an actual physical page with a photograph, (since one exists) in order to clarify and confirm which Princess Olga they are looking at, especially when birth and death dates are coincidental. It would send a clear message that Wiki has done its homework and isn't mixing up princesses or dates. Under these circumstances I think the lack of detail is not a problem and I agree that (rightly or wrongly) princesshood confers notability in most cases. ~2026-42636-56 (talk) 09:32, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply

The Nightingale casting controversy

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NEVENT and WP:NOTNEWS. Lacks WP:DIVERSE and WP:SUSTAINED /WP:PERSISTENCE coverage. Does not demonstrate WP:LASTING or WP:GEOSCOPE impact. A flury of media coverage in local press within a short window is not enough to show this is a notable event. We would need to see wider press coverage outside California which other than the Huffington Post this doesn't have (not surprising since this was a play staged at local theatre; how is this relevant outside of LA?). The play/production itself wouldn't pass GNG because it was staged at a minor theatre. If this were a Broadway show I could maybe see an article but not for a production at a regional theatre. Note that the only source outside of the month of July 2018 is the Huffington Post which is not considered reliable for political topics per WP:HUFFPOST.

At best this could be covered very briefly in the articles on the La Jolla Playhouse and actor Jonathan Pryce; both of which don't even mention the controversy. Although Pryce ended up turning down the part, so I don't think it would be WP:DUE in his article. In fact the controversy is not discussed in any of the relevant related articles; probably because the production itself is not notable which brings as back to the question, is this encyclopedic?

Keep, move to The Nightingale (musical). Good catch. I think the play does meet notability guidelines. A few pts: La Jolla is not a minor theater, but a mid-size to large and well-known regional house. Coverage in the article is not local, but at least regional if not national: a workshop in San Diego covered in the LA Times, Backstage, and HuffPo in current sourcing, plus in the International Business Times[1]. Lacking a subject-specific guide for plays, WP:NFF is instructive here, as this wasn't a full production, but a developmental workshop, and the controversey resulted in significant non-routine coverage of the play. There's routine coverage of the play from at-least (I count at least six workshops) 2007,[2] 2011,[3] and 2023.[4] The development process for plays is different than film, but a series of workshops - the path to production and Broadway for many shows - is a strong parallel. The La Jolla workshop meets NFF's requirement for in-depth reporting, such as discussion, critical analysis, set visits, and detailed critiques. There should be multiple sources providing this kind of coverage for a standalone article to be warranted.. Sheik, Sater, Kaufman, and La Jolla Playhouse alongside Powerhouse, The Public/Joe's Pub, Eugene O'Neill Center are all themselves independently notable, and we have SIGCOV from the controversy.—BrechtBro (talk) 22:21, 26 July 2026 (UTC)reply

Um, I don't think reviews of plays in workshop format are significant enough to count as WP:SIGCOV. These are shows in development, and not reviews of a final product. For Broadway shows, WP:WikiProject Theatre's general policy is to wait until after a show has officially premiered in non-workshop format and is not in preview or tryout stages (which comes after the workshop stage of development). If the show is still in workshop and hasn't even gone into previews it is absolutely too soon for an article on this show.4meter4 (talk) 05:25, 27 July 2026 (UTC)reply

I agree, except we're not looking at reviews - workshops aren't typically open to review and this one wasn't. Because of the controversy, we have a bunch of coverage of the play's development, which is highly unusual and suggests notability. NFF reads, films produced in the past which were either not completed or not distributed should not have their own articles, unless their failure was notable per the guidelines. (emphasis mine). —BrechtBro (talk) 15:57, 27 July 2026 (UTC)reply

NFF is a false analogy. Films play in multiple theaters and can be streamed. The audience for films is often global. A theatre workshop in a minor theatre (and LaJolla is minor. It is not Broadway or the West End or even in a second tier city like Chicago with a major theatre district) has very little audience reach even in the city where it ran. Workshop audiences tend to be small and poorly attended. It is no comparison to a film where the audience is large because it can play in many places simultaneously. A play has no relevant parallel to a film in regards to interpreting NFF. Note that NFF does not cover live theatre for a reason.4meter4 (talk) 18:54, 27 July 2026 (UTC)reply

I don't believe any theater professional would describe La Jolla, a LORT B with a Tony award, as "minor."

Having a large audience is not the only path to notability for a creative work, the various subject specific criteria for them such as NBOOK, NFILM, NALBUM all mention independent sigcov as a criteria. WP:UNRELEASED says, of music, Unreleased material (including demos, mixtapes, bootlegs, promo-only recordings, and related items) is only notable if it has significant independent coverage in reliable sources. Notability here is suggested by sigcov of the the play's development, and in a way that doesn't rely on any CRYSTALBALL speculation about the play's future. If the show was completely unimportant, there would be no coverage of the controversy—BrechtBro (talk) 00:50, 28 July 2026 (UTC)reply

Regional theatre is regional theatre. You can give a theatre a Regional Theatre Tony Award (not a competitive award; this is actually more like a grant) for doing regional theatre well, and that's a nice feather in its cap but its still doing regional theatre. It's not eligible to compete for major theatre awards for its productions, it doesn't routinely get national and international press (unlike a Broadway or West End theatre) etc. There are lots of theatres all over the country with a regional Tony. It honors a certain aspect of American theatre, but it doesn't elevate that theatre into the major leagues (ie a theatre in a top market with a high profile media presence that extends beyond local news coverage on a routine basis).

As for NALBUM and the other SNGS... Again these are false analogies. Books are sold everywhere. Albums are released everywhere. People can buy them on the internet, on a kindle, at a book store, on a streaming platform etc. These are all mass media products with a potential global market. A local theatre workshop isn't a mass media product. It isn't consumable by the masses and is only viewable to a limited audience. We don't have a relevant SNG to apply here for a reason.

As for SIGCOV... this coverage is not significant. The coverage isn't even reviewing the musical in-depth or talking about it in any significant way. It's mostly focused on a casting controversy without actually talking about the show. There isn't a single solid quality review out of any of the sources presented. It's all press release/promotional adjacent coverage (mostly advertising upcoming workshop performances) without anything particularly meaningful to say. This reflects the fact that this particular show hasn't had a major staging anywhere, and has never been given a full production. Critics aren't going to give their full attention to a workshop because that isn't what is done. All we have here is a rather nominal controversy, and a bunch of fluffy promo press that doesn't actually dig into the show and give it a proper review. That's not GNG level coverage, and certainly isn't showing this show is encyclopedic. To compare look at the plethora of reviews for even short lived Broadway flops where the press actually has something real to say about the show with some quality analysis. That just doesn't exist here.4meter4 (talk) 01:25, 28 July 2026 (UTC)reply

There's no reviews because the play didn't open anywhere, critics do not review workshops (or previews, typically) because the gentlemen's agreement between producers and critics is that they are not allowed to, but it's extremely rare that a play's development itself is newsworthy--and we even have a column from the LA Times critic (not local!) discussing it. This is off-topic, but regional premiers routinely win the Pulitzer, fwiw; you seem to be describing a difference between the commercial theater and the not-for-profit theater, many regional theaters are considered to be extremely important in the field, particularly with regards to artistic rather than commercial qualities. —BrechtBro (talk) 03:18, 28 July 2026 (UTC)reply

La Jolla, like other significant regional theaters, is covered with some regularity in the national press, btw. —BrechtBro (talk) 03:48, 28 July 2026 (UTC)reply

The LAT article isn’t a review. It’s entirely about the casting controversy. It has nothing of substance to say on the musical itself. LA is also a stone’s throw away from San Diego. People commute between the cities. I wouldn’t consider it national but regional coverage. Regardless, that piece is again not a review and I wouldn’t consider it sig cov of the musical. I just want to point out that the topic here isn't LaJolla as a theatre. The question is about the musical. You really hit the nail on the head here with this: There's no reviews because the play didn't open anywhere, critics do not review workshops (or previews, typically) because the gentlemen's agreement between producers and critics is that they are not allowed to... We both agree on this. Critical reviews are what makes a standalone article on a show possible. That's the type of SIGCOV required. That just doesn't exist which is why deletion is the correct choice in this case. Chalk it up to a case of WP:TOOSOON. Once there is an actual production of the show with critical reviews then we can have an article. 4meter4 (talk) 04:24, 28 July 2026 (UTC)reply

"Critical reviews are what makes a standalone article on a show possible" I don't believe there's any such guideline that says this, even WP:WikiProject_Theatre/Article_Structure says that critical response is an optional section. There are certain things we can't say about the play since it hasn't opened, but there are other things that we can, much of which is in this article. Articles on unreleased films have details about their production, and they have nothing to say about reception or plot. The production and development history of a play is of no less importance to a play than it is to a film. It's an unusual case, and that's why I'm saying keep. If it's TOOSOON, draftifying should be a reasonable ATD. —BrechtBro (talk) 05:16, 28 July 2026 (UTC)reply

Delete. The criticism of a workshop of a musical is not of encyclopedic importance, and the workshop production itself is of even less encyclopedic importance. The musical finally had two concert performances (both on November 12, 2023), at Joe's Pub in NYC, with API-identifying actors. See this. A musical that has played only concert performances at a small venues is not a notable musical. -- Ssilvers (talk) 16:36, 27 July 2026 (UTC)reply

AirAsia X Berhad has officially completed its rebranding and corporate restructuring, changing its name to AirAsia Group Berhad.

Key Summary

The Merge: AirAsia X acquired and absorbed all of parent company Capital A's short-haul and regional aviation divisions for RM6.8 billion. [1, 2]
The Goal: It unifies short-, medium-, and long-haul operations under one singular brand to build the world's first true low-cost network carrier. [1, 2]
The Split: Capital A survives strictly as a non-aviation holding company handling logistics, digital apps (AirAsia MOVE), and engineering services. [1, 2]

This page was previously deleted before: https://web.archive.org/web/20231002030252/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mavis_discount_tire. It has now been recreated under a different name.

The article itself reads as highly promotional. It also omits significant information about lawsuits involving the company. For example, the company is discussed in relation to the Schoharie limousine crash, but that is not mentioned in the article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schoharie_limousine_crash.

Finally, I believe the article is not neutral because it fails to mention notable lawsuits involving the company. More information about these cases can be found here:

The article lacks sufficient notability. Simply because a company is large or has acquired another company does not mean it automatically qualifies for a Wikipedia article. For example, Driven Brands' tire retail business is even larger, and the company is publicly traded, yet it still does not have a standalone Wikipedia article.

Keep. Considering they just acquired Pep Boys for $700 million, and previously acquired very large chains such as Midas, they have quietly become the largest tire service company in the United States.

An acquisition alone does not guarantee that a company meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The previous article was deleted because it was determined to be overly promotional and did not satisfy Wikipedia's content policies. It has now been recreated under a different title, but simply renaming or recreating a deleted article does not address the underlying issues that led to its deletion.

Delete. The subject appears to exist and to have done so for some time. However, existence alone is not sufficient to establish encyclopedic notability. At present, the article does not appear to demonstrate that the subject meets the criteria outlined at WP:NCORP, as it does not cite significant coverage from reliable, independent secondary sources. In its current form, the article also has some characteristics of a directory-style entry, which may be relevant to WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Additional independent sourcing would be needed to demonstrate the subject’s encyclopedic significance. If reliable, independent sources demonstrating significant coverage are available, they would be welcome for consideration. Brodska213 (talk) 06:28, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply

SEEQC

This article on this quantum computing company has been created in both article space and draft space. A review of the sources shows that some of them are press releases, some of them are interviews with the CEO of the company, and some of them are about the technology. I did not read reference 2, which is paywalled, but am inferring that it is about the technology. If someone can read it and verify that it is about the company, it will be 1 source that meets all of the criteria for corporate notability. As it is, some of the sources are not independent, and some of them are passing mentions.

Three-time third-party candidate for office who did not receive significant coverage during any of his campaigns. A 2013 nomination resulted in no consensus, but it seems worth revisiting. The article often reads more like a CV, resume, or piece of promotional content than a neutral page. Over the years, editors have pared back some of the most egregiously self-promotional content, but what's left is still a page for someone who does not meet NPOL and otherwise fails GNG.

Fails WP:NPLACE and WP:GNG. No evidence of a community at this location.

The article Welcome to Ven Petten: Population 2 only describes a couple who live next to the former rail depot, who have turned their home into a sort of museum. No mention is made of a former larger town. –dlthewave ☎ 22:16, 18 July 2026 (UTC)reply

Keep: Added some sources. Also, the "Van Petten:Population 2" article does mention former establishments, including a general store, grain company, and railroad station. This was never a vibrant town, but it was a recognized community.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 17:44, 22 July 2026 (UTC)reply

The general store and grain company are typical for what you'd find on the grounds of a simple rural railroad station. I'm not sure where the "recognized community" description is coming from. Although it was platted as a town, we don't have any evidence that a town ever actually formed there. –dlthewave ☎ 04:00, 23 July 2026 (UTC)reply

I mean informally recognized. And there's a 2010 news story saying they have a mayor and pay town taxes in 2010 to remain a town. I understand why you nominated the article for deletion, but i think its sufficiently notable. (ETA: also note the 1938 reference saying the population is 12.) There are many old newspaper references to the community, but those are more the variety of "Bill Joe of Van Petten came to Dixon today", so i didn't want to pollute the references with that.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 13:56, 23 July 2026 (UTC)reply

Which notability guideline do you believe this meets? Van Petten doesn't appear in 2012 Illinois Counties and Incorporated Municipalities, and it's not clear what this "town tax" refers to. This really just looks like a single couple who was keeping the idea of a "town" alive for sentimental purposes. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be either official recognition or significant coverage to meet NPLACE or GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 15:33, 23 July 2026 (UTC)reply

I have continued to improve the article and feel comfortable stating I am now an expert in the complete history of Van Petten, Illinois. As a self-appointed expert, you will unable to sway my !vote. Seriously though, i think there's a fair case for showing it was an informally recognized small community that started in 1901 and that had largely died by the late 1930s. The plat was not vacated until 2024. I still don't know what the town tax is, so my expertness is perhaps incomplete.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 21:38, 23 July 2026 (UTC)reply

In the context of China's media landscape where nearly all publications have a connection to the state, I agree that these sources are sufficient to establish notability.

Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline says:

"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.

Removing promotional material that is against the PaG is not an attempt to save it. Nor is putting a maintenance tag, such as a stub tag. As for the marking it as reviewed, part of WP:NPP is putting articles up for AfD as part of reviewing them. It's basically only stating that the article isn't pure vandalism or promotional. Further, removing promotional material does not at all address the main reason the article is at AfD: It lacks independent sources. To compare: both Friendship Medal (China) and State Natural Science Award (China) have multiple sources that are not from the government nor state-owned media. The medal even has international coverage. If you cannot find independent sources, then it fails to meet the standards of the English Wikipedia. Jerod Lycett (talk) 11:01, 25 July 2026 (UTC)reply

Goyle → List of Harry Potter characters#Crabbe and Goyle (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

No information about this Senior character at the target. As per the unsourced two-sentence stub that lasted a week in 2006, he is the father of Gregory Goyle, which is a 3-sentence bio that doesn't mention the father either. Delete as not helping the reader.

Goyle by itself is ambiguous as a surname and shouldn't target the Harry Potter character, as there is another character Rochelle Goyle, and a real person Raj Goyle. Jay 03:53, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Photophobic force

Photophobic force → Fifth force (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Refers to protophobic force (which has a different target)? Probably an unlikely typo. 1234qwer 1234qwer 4 03:24, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Keep, I think. @1234qwer1234qwer4: actually, my recollection is that it refers to a proposed "photophobic" (repulsive of light) force (see Photophobic) theorized by some scientists in the 2010s. See here. That's not to say there may not be some conflation with the concept of a "Protophobic force", but this phrase does exist somewhere. BD2412 T 03:32, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply
The linked article describes the beryllium-8 anomaly which led to the hypothesis of the protophobic force, and links to arxiv:1604.07411. Google Scholar has no results for "photophobic force". 1234qwer 1234qwer 4 03:36, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply
We don't need a Google Scholar citation for a redirect, though. It could conceivably be retargeted to protophobic force as an {{R from misspelling}}. BD2412 T 03:39, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Delete per the rationale of the RfD of Thomas Gets Bumped & Other Stories. The pre-redirect history has been summarized at WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2026 July 29 § Thomas and His Friends Help Out. Jay 03:14, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Varsha Mahender Sabhnani

Varsha Mahender Sabhnani → Muttontown, New York#History (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

There isn't a person named "Varsha Mahender Sabhnani". As indicated by the cited sources, there were actually two people, named "Varsha Sabhnani" and "Mahender Sabhnani". So I suggest deletion. Duckmather (talk) 01:12, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Welcome to Duloc

Welcome to Duloc → Shrek (soundtrack) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Not sure why this song title redirects to an album of which "Welcome to Duloc" is not a part. Perhaps it would be a better idea to change this to the main film article instead, but to play it safe I'd rather get others' opinions first.

As a matter of fact, the word "Duloc" isn't even mentioned in the article. In solidarity, Gommeh ^{(talk 🎮 sign)} 01:24, 3 August 2026 (UTC)reply
