Article created by an SPA/ COI/ UPE editor before ACPERM, so did not go through AfC and notability has not been adequately reviewed. I'm not at all convinced that it meets WP:NCORP, so listing here for discussion. The principal sources in the page – La Repubblica, Il Sole 24 ORE, La Nazione (this last pretty much a tabloid rag) – are almost all about Francesca Lusini, who I believe probably merits a Wikipedia page.

Appears to fail WP:GNG and likely simply WP:TOOSOON. Most sources found pertain solely to Rio Grande Valley Dorados (2019–) coming into the league (maybe unsustained WP:NOTNEWS announcements) and some minor WP:ROUTINE game coverage from their local news, but merely mentions what league they are going to play in. There is a single news report about the Austin Wild and several mentions in Mexico City media about the owner of the Mexicah team (but they are strictly just mentions that he is launching a team). I cannot find any reliable source as to what teams are even members, most appear to be travel-only semipro teams used so the two or three pro teams have someone to play against.

no clear evidence of notability. Based on Google translation of the references, there are no substantial sources, just various publicity and press releases. A considerable part of the article seems to be taken directly from the English translation of ref. 13. DGG ( talk ) 05:30, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
The article really needs some improvements and in some sentences it lacks of grammar accuracy. Nevertheless, the person described in the article is quite significant and famous in business and civic sphere in Ukraine and Europe. That’s why it’s notability, to my mind, shouldn’t be questioned. For example, the pages about
Vasyl Stolyar or
Leonid Komskyi have no more notability than the discussed article, but they are published on Wikipedia.

There are no sources that establish notability for the subject. Since the subject is a freelance journalist, she is probably writing for several news agencies and online media platforms. Most of the Google search results are author pages (like user-pages) on several sites, but not about the subject itself.

UN Offensive, 1950 is just a very brief precis of what happened between the Battle of Inchon and the Chinese intervention with a large focus on air operations. It says it was all one offensive, when there were actually 2/3 distinct phases: the breakout from the Pusan Perimeter (16-22 September) which is covered in Pusan Perimeter Offensive; the pursuit of the North Koreans out of South Korea (23-30 September) which is covered in UN September 1950 counteroffensive and then the pursuit into North Korea which is covered in UN offensive into North Korea. UN Offensive, 1950 is like a brief extract from the main Korean War page UN forces cross partition line (September–October 1950) section and so its usefulness has passed. As most of UN Offensive, 1950 doesn't have inline references no useful information is salvageable Mztourist ( talk) 07:24, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Article about a film quote -- yeah, that one -- which is basically as close as a quotation can get to
WP:DICDEF. This was a stable redirect to
On the Waterfront for five years, before getting spun off into a standalone article two days ago -- but what it's still lacking is an obvious reason why it actually needs a standalone article at all, because this adds no new context or sourcing that wasn't already in the film's article anyway. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a directory of quotations -- so for this quote to warrant its own separate article independently of the film, it would require quite a lot more substance and sourcing than has even been attempted here.
This should be redirected back to
On the Waterfront, though I'd prefer the delete-and-then-redirect approach so that there's no revertable version in the edit history for the dicdef stans to editwar over.

Boilerplate rationale adapted from my previous AfDs of similar photographer articles (such as Keizaburō Saeki), which itself was largely borrowed from Cckerberos at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hideki Kasai. Keizaburō Saeki, Hideki Kasai, and this currently-nominated article are all identical bot-created articles. I have nominated several others for deletion, but have improved and de-orphaned quite a few more when sources have been available.
To quote Cckerberos: "This article is a generic stub, generated by a bot in 2007. It makes no specific claim to notability; it appears that similar stubs were created for every photographer listed in 328 Outstanding Japanese Photographers, all with the format "Name (years) is a renowned Japanese photographer" (compare the nominated article with Gen Ōtsuka, for example). Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography states that the sole criteria for inclusion in the book was to have a single photograph in the museum's permanent collection at the time the book was published. That doesn't seem to meet WP:CREATIVE."
In addition to Cckerberos's excellent commentary, I'll note that I've done as thorough a WP:BEFORE check as possible for an English-speaker: Google searches of both the English and Japanese order of the English transliteration of his name. None of the English transliterations turned up anything of use. He does not appear in the reasonably thorough The History of Japanese Photography or Photography in Japan 1853-1912.
I have also checked his Japanese name, but all I found was the Tokyo Digital Museum listing of his works, and references to the 328 Photographers book. The Japanese Wikipedia has no article about him, so there are no sources to be borrowed from it. I searched his Japanese name there and found nothing.
In the absence of reliable sources, we cannot verify that this person is notable, so the article, like many of the previous bot-generated photographers before it, should be deleted.
Courtesy ping to Hoary, who is knowledgeable on the topic of Japanese photographers, and whose commentary on these AfDs is invaluable to me, especially when it causes me to alter my opinion. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 00:52, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Article created by an SPA/ COI/ UPE editor before ACPERM, so did not go through AfC and notability has not been adequately reviewed. I'm not at all convinced that it meets WP:NCORP, so listing here for discussion. The principal sources in the page – La Repubblica, Il Sole 24 ORE, La Nazione (this last pretty much a tabloid rag) – are almost all about Francesca Lusini, who I believe probably merits a Wikipedia page. What I don't see is in-depth coverage of the company itself, beyond routine reporting of routine business. Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 12:14, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Promotional article about a corporate officer. Vast majority of coverage are mentions in her capacity as marketing lead for companies she worked for.

The orbitless gear is a significant invention, commercial or not.Seems to be your own opinion.

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:MarkZusab with the following rationale " I believe notability may possibly exist and this article could be improved. Feel free to take to AfD. I may do it myself if necessary.". I am afraid this is nonetheless just a wisful WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES.

Appears to fail WP:GNG and likely simply WP:TOOSOON. Most sources found pertain solely to Rio Grande Valley Dorados (2019–) coming into the league (maybe unsustained WP:NOTNEWS announcements) and some minor WP:ROUTINE game coverage from their local news, but merely mentions what league they are going to play in. There is a single news report about the Austin Wild and several mentions in Mexico City media about the owner of the Mexicah team (but they are strictly just mentions that he is launching a team). I cannot find any reliable source as to what teams are even members, most appear to be travel-only semipro teams used so the two or three pro teams have someone to play against. Even the WP:PRIMARY website lacks info as the Lagartos team may-or-may-not be members with only one game played/scheduled. Yosemiter ( talk) 17:32, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

no clear evidence of notability. Based on Google translation of the references, there are no substantial sources, just various publicity and press releases. A considerable part of the article seems to be taken directly from the English translation of ref. 13. DGG ( talk ) 05:30, 25 March 2019 (UTC)
The article really needs some improvements and in some sentences it lacks of grammar accuracy. Nevertheless, the person described in the article is quite significant and famous in business and civic sphere in Ukraine and Europe. That’s why it’s notability, to my mind, shouldn’t be questioned. For example, the pages about
Vasyl Stolyar or
Leonid Komskyi have no more notability than the discussed article, but they are published on Wikipedia.

There are no sources that establish notability for the subject. Since the subject is a freelance journalist, she is probably writing for several news agencies and online media platforms. Most of the Google search results are author pages (like user-pages) on several sites, but not about the subject itself. There are other sources which mention her, but don't meet, WP:GNG: "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" KCVelaga ( talk) 04:55, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
The result was redirect to Korean War#Battle of Inchon (September 1950). The Bushranger One ping only 06:49, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
UN Offensive, 1950 is just a very brief precis of what happened between the Battle of Inchon and the Chinese intervention with a large focus on air operations. It says it was all one offensive, when there were actually 2/3 distinct phases: the breakout from the Pusan Perimeter (16-22 September) which is covered in Pusan Perimeter Offensive; the pursuit of the North Koreans out of South Korea (23-30 September) which is covered in UN September 1950 counteroffensive and then the pursuit into North Korea which is covered in UN offensive into North Korea. UN Offensive, 1950 is like a brief extract from the main Korean War page UN forces cross partition line (September–October 1950) section and so its usefulness has passed. As most of UN Offensive, 1950 doesn't have inline references no useful information is salvageable Mztourist ( talk) 07:24, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

The result was delete and redirect to On the Waterfront. Randykitty ( talk) 11:09, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
Article about a film quote -- yeah, that one -- which is basically as close as a quotation can get to
WP:DICDEF. This was a stable redirect to
On the Waterfront for five years, before getting spun off into a standalone article two days ago -- but what it's still lacking is an obvious reason why it actually needs a standalone article at all, because this adds no new context or sourcing that wasn't already in the film's article anyway. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a directory of quotations -- so for this quote to warrant its own separate article independently of the film, it would require quite a lot more substance and sourcing than has even been attempted here.
This should be redirected back to
On the Waterfront, though I'd prefer the delete-and-then-redirect approach so that there's no revertable version in the edit history for the dicdef stans to editwar over.

Boilerplate rationale adapted from my previous AfDs of similar photographer articles (such as Keizaburō Saeki), which itself was largely borrowed from Cckerberos at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hideki Kasai. Keizaburō Saeki, Hideki Kasai, and this currently-nominated article are all identical bot-created articles. I have nominated several others for deletion, but have improved and de-orphaned quite a few more when sources have been available.
To quote Cckerberos: "This article is a generic stub, generated by a bot in 2007. It makes no specific claim to notability; it appears that similar stubs were created for every photographer listed in 328 Outstanding Japanese Photographers, all with the format "Name (years) is a renowned Japanese photographer" (compare the nominated article with Gen Ōtsuka, for example). Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography states that the sole criteria for inclusion in the book was to have a single photograph in the museum's permanent collection at the time the book was published. That doesn't seem to meet WP:CREATIVE."
In addition to Cckerberos's excellent commentary, I'll note that I've done as thorough a WP:BEFORE check as possible for an English-speaker: Google searches of both the English and Japanese order of the English transliteration of his name. None of the English transliterations turned up anything of use. He does not appear in the reasonably thorough The History of Japanese Photography or Photography in Japan 1853-1912.
I have also checked his Japanese name, but all I found was the Tokyo Digital Museum listing of his works, and references to the 328 Photographers book. The Japanese Wikipedia has no article about him, so there are no sources to be borrowed from it. I searched his Japanese name there and found nothing.
In the absence of reliable sources, we cannot verify that this person is notable, so the article, like many of the previous bot-generated photographers before it, should be deleted.
Courtesy ping to Hoary, who is knowledgeable on the topic of Japanese photographers, and whose commentary on these AfDs is invaluable to me, especially when it causes me to alter my opinion. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 00:52, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
