Reason: It is impossible to tell from search whether this is usually spelled with a
hyphen or an
en dash, but
MOS:PREFIXDASH calls for an en dash since de Sitter is one name.
Reason: An attempted
WP:PROD at the base-title disambiaguation page was thwarted by the addition of a redlinked genus, but this moon is still the obvious primary topic over two others that don't have standalone articles. The dab page would then be moved to
Albiorix (disambiguation).
Reason: Based on
Google Scholar results, it is likely that more academic literature uses the
abbreviation than the rather unwieldy
full name, just like
NASA and
TRIPS Agreement. However, there are no
Google Books results about the YORP effect, so it is impossible to compare them using Ngrams.
Reason: 2013 ND15 is the only known object of this type. I created the new category to hold this category, plus three more asteroids that are not trojans, and diffuse
Category:Co-orbital minor planets.
Reason: Was prodded by me in April 2020 due to failing
WP:LISTN and
WP:OR, but deprodded without explanation by
Andrew Davidson (
talk·contribs), who is now banned from deletion-related activities. I'm still confident that this fails LISTN and OR because there are zero relevant search results.
Reason: The distinction between a
gas giant and a more general
giant planet is too small to be relevant to fiction. A gas giant is a giant planet which is mostly hydrogen.
There was (and still is) a timeline in the article, but most of the sources that are still accessible do not mention a property bubble or even a collapse in Indian real estate prices, and are instead about random events that "look like" speculation about a property bubble.
One source from 2013 discusses a "marginal" decrease — never exceedind 6% on a quarterly basis — in real estate prices in 22 cities in India, whereas there was an increase in 4 others. There is an outdated statement about a predicted collapse in "the next three months" sourced to
a 2015 article and
another article from 2017.
Reason:
WP:SMALLCAT that is a near-miss
WP:C2F, containing only
LGBT rights in Oman. The merge target is the only one that does not already contain the article either directly or in a subcategory.
Reason: Prodded in July 2020 due to lacking sources and failing
WP:GNG, but the prod was consteted and then the article was unilaterally redirected to
Sasuke (TV series). When content related to international editions of Sasuke was removed in January 2023, this page was
brought to RfD. Users at the RfD raised concerns over the decision to
WP:BLAR this article, and opted to restore this page and bring it to AfD. I have made no attempt of my own to determine if this topic meets GNG, as this is a procedural AfD and secondary sources would primarily be in
Indonesian.
Reason: This category is intended for topics related to
ecocide as a notion in
international criminal law. None of the pages in the category belonged here, except for the main article.
Reason: Page was
BLAR'd in April 2021 for failing
WP:GNG, but this was contested on February 28, 2023 at
this RfD because the new target did not mention the article. Therefore, I have procedurally listed the page at AfD.
Gac: nominated at
RM; New name:
Gấc 23:38, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
Reason: The name of this plant is spelled with Vietnamese diacritics, and this spelling is used throughout the article. A user who did this move in 2021 self-reverted the move without explanation, preventing me from implementing this change unilaterally.
Reason:
BLAR'd to
Judas Priest in December 2022 due to notability concerns. The redirect was contested at
this RfD on February 10 because there were four notable bands featured in this tour (Judas Priest,
Motörhead,
Heaven & Hell, and
Testament), so this could not be redirected anywhere and participants agreed to take the page to AfD.
Reason: Suggest retargeting to
Beaner, like most plurals. The former name of the coffee chain was Beaner's Coffee with the apostrophe on the
possessive.
Reason: PRODded by
SilverTiger12 (
talk·contribs) after prior AfD in November 2011, due to lack of lasting coverage for this 2011 incident. Previous AfD was closed as no consensus on November 22, less than a month after Jack was found and then euthanized, because it was not clear yet if there would be lasting coverage. There have been no improvements to this article since then, except for
a source added in 2013 that devotes 3 short paragraphs to this incident in the context of many similar ones, and removing several unsourced or non-neutral paragraphs.
Reason: Mildly promotional article supported with only primary references, none more recent than 2009, to the work of a team at
Carnegie Mellon University and
Intel known as the
Claytronics Project whose most recent publication was in 2014. (Though it is not likely COI-created, as most of the current content was
added in 2010 by an IP from the
University of Wisconsin–Madison as part of a class project.) The topic probably fails
WP:GNG, but it is nonetheless synonymous with
Self-reconfiguring modular robot and may be suitable for a redirect. The user who added the {{Primary sources}} tag in February 2021 noted:
While I don't doubt that the DARPA grant CMU & Intel team who worked on this (and wrote every source used on this page) knows what they're doing, we need some kind of third party review of this... especially given the apparent lack of new developments in this area. Then again, the sudden lack of new public papers after a certain point could mean DARPA decided they liked it and is blowing a few hundred billion to develop some vomit-inducing new form of weapon in which case it's probably classified and nobody can review it anyway. —

Reason: The vast majority of the academic literature, as well as the article text, calls this star by the abbreviated coordinates from
SuperWASP, not the
variable star designation.
Reason: These two redirects about a type of
pre-main-sequence star, of which
EX Lupi is the prototype, should point to the same target. The former is obviously inappropriate, while the latter is a synonym not mentioned in the article.

Reason: PRODded by

Reason: PRODded by

Reason: Procedural relist as an article that was PRODded twice, first in 2008 and then in 2023. The two rationales were:

WP:NPOV —
User:LicenceToCrenellate 08:44, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
Reason: All category members except the main,
Great ape language, are about individual apes. Other categories about individual animals usually make this explicit.
Reason: Moved without discussion, and without sufficient evidence that it is primary over
Fracture in terms of encyclopedic significance. In particular, Fracture does not mention the term. If this move is upheld, then
Chink (disambiguation) will need to be moved to the base title.
Reason: Currently, there are 2 other articles about planets in the same system, but there is a proposal at
Talk:Kepler-445d#Merge_needed to merge all of them into a single article about the system.
Reason: There is an article about another planet in the system,
Pr0211 c. The recommended solution would be to create a new article about the system, like we did at
Kepler-277. An alternative would be to merge both planets into a single article about the system.
Reason:
WP:STARNAMES provides no clear guidance here, but seems to favor names that are easily human-readable. All other Kepler planetary host stars seem to follow this convention.
Reason: While the topic of
ski films is notable, this seems to be an
indiscriminate list and it seems doubtful that the references could justify a list of films that happen to feature a skiing scene.

User:BusterBuster123 18:18, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
Reason: An RfC held at this article's talk page raised concerns about the claims that the
Fourth Industrial Revolution are "failing", but then it was discovered that the entire article is resting on flimsy sourcing, and its topic is probably just a meaningless
buzzword that should either be deleted outright or redirected to coiner
Klaus Schwab. The discussion has been copied verbatim to the
talk page of this AfD.
Reason:
WP:SUBJECTIVECAT containing a mixture of bacteria (mostly Clostridium spp. and related genera). Some pages are not in related categories such as
Category:Pathogenic bacteria, but the missing categories differ between the articles.
