I lean keep. I think it makes sense to have separate articles for the company and the product, just like we have for OpenAI and ChatGPT and for Anthropic and Claude (language model). The company DeepSeek does more than just produce a chatbot app, so I think it's probably a good idea to have two separate articles — one about the company, and one containing more detailed information about one of its main products. There's currently a lot of overlap in the two articles' scope and there's definitely cleanup that needs to be done, but the article was only created a few hours ago so I don't see why we shouldn't give time to fix those issues.

Keep per MCE89. I created a separate article on the chatbot because it gained notability to warrant a separate article. also said on edit summary "Note: I'm not creating a duplicate article.

An article about how Twitter users thought an online streamer had been kidnapped last November, but two days later it turned out that he hadn't been.

Atlantic Money

Fails WP:NCORP. Routine funding announcements, or regurgitated press releases which comes under WP:CORPTRIV. Neeraj Baid, Patrick Kavanagh (entrepreneur), and this article were recently created to promote subjects on Wikipedia. WP:ILLCON is also not enough to confer notability.

In November 2024, this company was acquired by Deel so I don't mind a redirect to parent company. Gheus (talk) 09:05, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The suggested redirect to Deel seems reasonable. There's a bit of RS coverage of them complaining about getting blocked from Wise [3] [4] but everything else is just regurgitated press releases or coverage in WP:TRADES fintech publications. It seems a long way off meeting WP:NCORP on its own, so adding a sentence mentioning the acquisition to Deel and redirecting there makes sense to me. MCE89 (talk) 09:30, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nargiz Absalamova

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

Fails WP:N and WP:1E. The person has not been the subject of any reliable source on her own and has not got significiant coverage in any reliable source. She herself has not been of interest to any reliable source individually. The person only has name mentions or notes about some facts related to her arrest in the sources. There is no other information available to use in the writing of a balanced biography. As you can see from the article, most of the content is facts about the arrest. Participating in an event or being one of the individuals affected by it does not make a person notable. She is simply one of the individuals listed in the context of the case. Sura Shukurlu (talk) 08:37, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hökümətin sözü ilə, gəlib burda məqalə silməyə çalışmağınız sizin özünüz üçün acınacaqlıdır. Bəlkə də, sizi inandırıblar ki, hansısa mistik informasiya müharibəsi ilə məşğul olursunuz özünüzü önəmli hiss etməyiniz üçün. Amma Nərgizin biosun bir daha oxuyun bəlkə də sizinlə yaxın-yaxın yaşda etdiklərinə baxın və bir də özünüzə baxın. Cəsarət, dünyada təqlid edilməyən yeganə şeydi))))

I strongly disagree with the assertion that Nargiz Absalamova fails Wikipedia’s notability criteria (WP:N, WP:1E). The argument that she has only been briefly mentioned in sources without significant independent coverage is misleading and inaccurate. Multiple reputable, independent sources, including international human rights organizations and well-established media outlets, have reported on Nargiz Absalamova. Her case has been documented as part of a larger crackdown on Azerbaijani civil society, demonstrating that she is not just an incidental figure but a recognized political prisoner. The idea that she is “simply one of the individuals listed in a case” ignores the fact that many notable political prisoners worldwide have been recognized in similar circumstances.

WP:1E does not apply to cases of political repression that are part of an ongoing human rights crisis. There are multiple precedents on Wikipedia where political prisoners and persecuted activists—arrested in crackdowns—have notability established through human rights reports and international coverage. If Wikipedia hosts similar biographies of other Azerbaijani political prisoners, removing this one would be inconsistent and unfair.

I also want to highlight concerning patterns in the behavior of the editor opposing this article, which may indicate a conflict of interest (COI) or agenda-driven editing. There have been frequent removals or attempts to undermine content related to Azerbaijani political prisoners, edits that systematically favor the Azerbaijani government’s narrative while dismissing reliable independent sources, and targeted efforts to delete information about human rights abuses in Azerbaijan. Wikipedia’s mission is to ensure neutrality and reliable documentation—it should not be used to erase politically inconvenient subjects at the request of authoritarian regimes.

I encourage all editors to review the reliable sources available before making broad claims about notability. If necessary, I will request an administrator review this editor’s activity for potential bias or government-aligned influence. I am also open to further expanding the article with additional sources to ensure it meets Wikipedia’s standards. It is crucial that Wikipedia remains a platform for factual, independent knowledge and does not become a tool for state propaganda or information suppression. I welcome further discussion, but I urge all editors to act in good faith and according to Wikipedia’s core principles. Kromvell 1968 (talk) 11:48, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated on behalf of 46.132.74.112 (talk · contribs · WHOIS).

Their PROD rationale was The article was already deleted once over concerns of notability, and although this version is longer, it is still mostly unsourced and includes nothing that would make the topic obviously notable. I will give my own opinion separately. Jfire (talk) 18:25, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Royalty and nobility, and Germany. Jfire (talk) 18:25, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This article appears to be a translation of de:Isabelle Gräfin von Loë. The best sources I have located appear to be:

Gies, Gabi (2009-01-14). "Ein bewegtes Leben". Neue Ruhr Zeitung (in German). Retrieved 2025-01-20.
"Gräfin Isabelle von Loe - Schloss Wissen". Blattus Martini - Kevelaerer Enzyclopädie. Retrieved 2025-01-20.

The first is a biography in a regional newspaper. The second appears to be a reprint from a biographical dictionary (Kevelaerer Persönlichkeiten by Evers and Willing). This is somewhat suggestive that a more thorough search could locate enough RS coverage to meet WP:GNG/WP:BASIC, although I'm not sure it's enough on its own. I mainly contested the PROD because the tag had previously been removed by another user, and because the article had been recreated after a prior PROD deletion.

Delete. I can see why someone might think Wikipedia should have an article on this person, since she lived a pretty impressive life. However, I can't find any sources (aside from a few passing mentions) other than the two Jfire has already identified, and I would say they are definitely not sufficient to establish notability. Tserton (talk) 19:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It seems that this article just needs to be improved by including more sources, she certainly did enough to warrant notability as another user mentioned. I do think that the wording and flow needs to be improved, but that's another topic. Perhaps just add the relevant banners instead of requesting deletion. Just the fact that "she was the longest lived royal European centenarian to have ever lived" makes me think that some more effort should be put in to save it. If there's a source for that, I don't see how it wouldn't meet the relevant standards. Laurelius (talk) 21:12, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - it certainly needs work, but based on what is in there and sourced, and her extremely long life, she's easily notable. Bearian (talk) 03:43, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I cut out some fluffy language and added some royal connections like Marie Antoinette, the headless queen who was her distant-great-aunt. Bearian (talk) 04:15, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I am very uncertain about this one. I think she would need to meet WP:GNG or WP:BASIC, as she doesn't meet any WP:SNG. So, has there been significant coverage about her in reliable, secondary sources? The first source in this article apparently "describes in passing" some activities the author of that source undertook with her. That doesn't sound like significant coverage. The two sources that Jfire found are as much about her family and the castle as about her, and don't go into detail about her wartime activities, and they are also both very local. In the past, when articles about centenarians were brought to AfD, they were usually deleted unless there was significant, non-local coverage (so not just the local newspaper covering their 90th, 100th and 110th birthdays, for example), or if they met WP:ANYBIO. Examples of AfDs where the result was Keep are Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Edna Parker (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Lockett. I haven't found much here, although there was a paragraph about her in The Tatler [7] (included in the article Salm-Salm). I have found a source about her donating land to the German War Graves Commission [8], but that isn't significant coverage, it just confirms content in the article. I have tried to search in digitised German newspapers, and found only a notice of her husband's death and some social notes. I tend to think there is not enough to keep this in English Wikipedia. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:46, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I had a feeling someone would bring up the Tatler article. To spare people a click, it's a listicle that might well have been sourced from Wikipedia. 46.132.74.112 (talk) 13:14, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of television stations in New York (state)#LPTV stations: as the creator of this article all the way back in 2006, I can assure you this is little more than a remnant article of the far lower, non-GNG-based inclusion standards of the era. Maybe there's something out there that could instead merit a mention somehow at WNGN (FM) (the co-owned radio station), but a history of mostly national services (or more recently, airing nothing but a random .4 carriage of the radio side) does not exactly suggest significant coverage. (What's left of Google's newspaper archive does have two articles in The Daily Gazette mentioning this station, which is more than some other LPTVs, but I don't think they're enough — even if the first article mentions the then-existence of local programming without elaboration.)

Viraj Bahl

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

The article does not meet WP:GNG as the sources mainly focus on the subject interviews and statements, without providing significant coverage. Majority of cited sources focus on Viraj Bahl company growth (revenue & product launches) rather than his personal notability as an individual. Refs (India.com, TimesNowNews, DNA India) lack depth or are promotional in tone. Coverage in outlets ( Inc42 and ET Retail ) primarily discuss Veeba as a company, not Viraj Bahl individual legacy or influence beyond his role as founder. While his role as a judge on Shark Tank India(2024) adds to his public profile, this is recent and may not yet be supported by independent sourcing to confirm lasting notability failing WP:NBLP and many of the sources here are exactly what WP:NEWSORGINDIA tells us to watchout for.

Comment: The WaPo, CNA and Austin American-Statesman coverage would all generally qualify as WP:SIGCOV in WP:SIRS, and NCORP does not have a WP:SUSTAINED requirement (unlike WP:NEVENTS or WP:NPRODUCT). However, all of these sources were published in a blitz of coverage around OnFaith's launch and I don't see any continuing coverage. As a flash in the pan company without any apparent lasting coverage beyond its launch, I'd lean delete, but I think a letter-of-the-law application of NCORP would allow a keep !vote. Dclemens1971 (talk) 07:07, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. This seems like a start up that got a little bit of funding but never really got going, and I suspect part of the reason it got a blitz of media coverage is that the idea of tech products centred around religion is still just a bit of a novelty to most people. I think Dclemens1971 is probably right that the coverage might strictly speaking be enough to pass WP:NCORP, but so much of it is focused on the idea rather than on the company that I'm not sure it really passes the spirit of NCORP. For instance, I can't find a single source covering the fact that the company rebranded or the fact that it shut down, or any sources about its actual operations or userbase.

After being previously declined at AfC for lack of notability/WP:NOTNEWS/WP:ONEEVENT issues, the situation made its way to the mainspace anyway.

Sources cited are largely unreliable: Usual offenders like Hindustan Times, The Mirror, TMZ and Twitter.

Notability remains the chief issue here. Knowing the shelf-life of memetic personalities, I doubt that this person will pass the ten year test. Is it really notable that Malone did what he did and then killed himself?

Finally, I have concern that this has become an joke article for folks to chronicle the lulz of the gooner who killed himself, which is not what WP is for. Encyclopedia Dramatica is still hosted somewhere. Bkissin (talk) 03:15, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The editorial issue here is akin to WP:CRIME and the need to avoid either glorifying or publicly shaming (depending on your point of view) crime victims and crime perpetrators. Exposing one's genitals certainly is a crime in AZ. Death by suicide may or may not be a crime, but this article breaks virtually all best practices with respect to reporting on suicide - sensationalizing, describing method, describing suicide note, etc. Wikipedia can do better than this.
I don't find arguments like TOOSOON, CRYSTAL, and NOTNEWS helpful at AfD debates, since there's almost always "one more article" just after the AfD is brought, or some argument about expected lasting impact. But the chances the unfortunate end of this gentleman's life will lead to sustained notability (other than in some niche group) seems pretty minimal.

Baker says a village founded in 1897, which is going to rule out almost all 19th century sources and start hitting the copyright wall on information. There's one third of a 1916 Lippincott's at Lippincott's new gazetteer at the Internet Archive but neither of its two "Laura"s are this. The same goes for the 1906 Lippincott's new gazetteer at the Internet Archive.
The Lewis Publishing 1899 Biographical History of Tippecanoe, White, Jasper, Newton, Benton, Warren and Pulaski Counties, Indiana (I checked volumes 1 and 2.) hits the right county and timeframe, and has lots of wives and daughters named Laura, but no places. The same goes for Darroch's 1916 A standard history of Jasper and Newton counties, Indiana at the Internet Archive.
However, if someone wants to write about The Onion Belt otherwise formally known as the Chicago & Wabash Valley Railroad, owner one Benjamin J. Gifford (after whom Gifford, Indiana is named), you'll find Laura as a dot on a railway station diagram, but no prose about it, in Elmer Griffith Sulzer's Ghost Railroads of Indiana (IUP, 1998, ISBN 9780253334831). There's plenty to say about The Onion Belt, and contrary to list of unused railways Sulzer documents how it was used; for shipping onions, no less.
All of the other false "unincorporated communities" at Moody, Indiana, Gifford, Indiana, and McCoysburg, Indiana are all railway stops on the diagram, and in prose Sulzer explains that our Asphaltum, Indiana article should correctly be titled Crescent, Indiana because it changed name, before it died.

Forest City, Indiana

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

I have to wonder exactly what is in the "WPA files" to which Baker refers (and for that matter, what sources they used), as other than the spot on the map (which sat next to a NYC line and seems to consist of a single house in the trees) I can find no trace of this place. I get lots of hits, as Lippicott's for instance lists something like a dozen different "Forest City"s, but they are all in other states. Maybe this was a rail spot, but I just get nothing.

An 1893 Rand McNally gazetteer says "Forest City, Jasper, N.W., Ry"; which translates to a railway stop, with no post office nor express office, in the north-west of Jasper county. Checking Graydon M. Meints's Indiana Railroad Lines (IUP, 2011, ISBN 9780253223593) confirms that this was a stop on the "LS-WK", which from another table in the book is the Kankakee, Indiana branch of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway.
I can only turn up this meagre information about the railway station, everything else being the other "Forest City"s. The 1869 Lippincott's has 5 of them, none this one. By 1893, Lippincott's has 14 of them, still none this one. So: late 19th century railway station.
The "WPA files" are, as Baker explains at the end of the book, the "Manuscript Files of the Federal Writers' Project, Cunningham Memorial Library, Indiana State University, Terre Haute", the history of which is explained by R. K. O’Neill here; so that's where one would have to look.

Egypt, Indiana

Only 2 hits in the Lewis and Darroch history. The third one is in Carpenter Township. So I have even less than in the nomination. ☺ It was somewhat tricky to search the gazetteers when the names are "Egypt" and "Jordan" and "Welsh", but nothing turned up for them in Jasper County. And the source purported to support most of this has vanished. The Indiana Genealogical Society does not publish it nor even list it any more.
One wonders why, apparently source in hand saying that this is a cemetery, article writers still believe that a cemetery is a populated place and a community. Exactly what sort of cemetery is that? Anyway, this one is pretty much undocumented, the only locatable source (Lewis and Darroch) not actually discussing it itself and the set of personal handwritten notes claimed to document it no longer findable or possibly even in existence.

Fictional submarine, stub with very little content. Fails WP:GNG. WP:BEFORE gives nothing useful. This is so bad I was just going to PROD it, but apparently, it was PRODed before (by User:Brad101), then converted into a disambig that grew into a poor stub. There is no valid redirect target, and I am not convinced converting it back to a disambig makes sense since there is not a single notable "USS Tiger Shark"; it is just the name of a fictional ship that appeared in several unrelated works. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:48, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
