This list can't work. The consensus of RS has no agreed-upon way to exactly "measure" the IQ of anyone. This becomes even harder when including children and historical geniuses. Many reported high scores are from unscientific IQ tests, as opposed to ones in common use by trained psychologists. The single source used here is unreliable and unscientific, and does not even cite where its IQ scores come from. It is yet another sensationalist or clickbait article on the Internet. If we continue to expand this list with similar sources, it will become a list of mere rumors, which would violate both WP:SOAPBOX and WP:INDISCRIMINATE.
Because of the variety of outlandish IQ claims, I am doubtful that even a list of claimed IQ scores can work. It is difficult to reliably verify an IQ test score, unlike height (which is objectively measurable and can be reliably reported, c.f. List of tallest people). I therefore propose deleting this article entirely. Wikinights ( talk) 21:33, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and hoaxes. It's not possible to attribute an IQ score of 200 to reliable sources, because any source reporting an IQ score of 200 is simply not reliable for that assertion. It's impossible to calibrate a test that can accurately produce that result, because of the way the mathematics of IQ scores work—your score is determined by how large a proportion of the population you perform better than, and outperforming every single person on Earth would still only give you an IQ of (roughly) 195 (or equivalently, a Z-score of roughly +6⅓). An IQ of 200 means a Z-score of +6⅔, or 1 in roughly 76 billion ( thanks, WolframAlpha) – roughly an order of magnitude more than the current world population.

Not every 21-year-old “climate justice activist” belongs in an encyclopedia. Until there’s in-depth coverage, until there’s more than press releases from Greenpeace and screenshots from the subject’s Instagram profile, the case for inclusion isn’t convincing. - Biruitorul Talk 13:31, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability, and in the article, there appears to be "more than press releases from Greenpeace and screenshots from the subject’s Instagram profile", e.g. New York Times 2020, 3 grafs, with her background as a Fridays for Future organizer in Britain and context, The Guardian 2021, 2 grafs, with background and context, The Guardian 2020, 3 grafs, with background and context, 7 UK Climate Activists Fighting For Marginalised Communities (Bustle, 2021, she is one of the featured activists), BBC3, 2021, 5-graf focus on her statements, with background and context, so WP:SUSTAINED and WP:BASIC notability appears to have support from the sources currently in the article.

Article about former footballer (hasn't been with a club since last September) who made a single appearance for a club in the Russian FNL. Although that single appearance creates a presumption of notability under WP:NFOOTBALL, it is invalid because the article comprehensively fails WP:GNG based on a search of online English- and Russian-language sources.

Alvaldi ( talk) 18:01, 23 July 2021 (UTC)Q2: If a sports figure meets the criteria specified in a sports-specific notability guideline, does this mean he/she does not have to meet the general notability guideline?
A2: No, the article must still eventually provide sources indicating that the subject meets the general notability guideline. Although the criteria for a given sport should be chosen to be a very reliable predictor of the availability of appropriate secondary coverage from reliable sources, there can be exceptions. For contemporary persons, given a reasonable amount of time to locate appropriate sources, the general notability guideline should be met in order for an article to meet Wikipedia's standards for inclusion. (For subjects in the past where it is more difficult to locate sources, it may be necessary to evaluate the subject's likely notability based on other persons of the same time period with similar characteristics.)

1. The judgment made an important impact considering the situation in India about single mothers. It has been referred to in other cases too later and as also discussed above, scholars are writing about this case.
2. The person who filed this petition as a lawyer and as a single mother fought her own case herself therefore the person becomes notable.
3. The person as a lawyer, researcher, and activist is working on gender and human rights issues and has other significant publications in her name. Some of her recent work is quoted in the article itself in the references list
4. Some of her work is important in terms of feminist research and has added a new dimension to feminist thinking in India. For instance, her work on domestic violence law in India from 2005 to a recent one in 2020 - a continuous series of books, articles, and papers on the issue of domestic violence law in India brings in a different dimension.
5. Most of the other work of the author not listed here such as her co-authored book published in 2016 on The Founding Mother: 15 women architects of the Indian Constitution is much applauded locally in India
6. The author has been awarded a senior fellowship by the Indian council of social science research and has been actively contributing to the field of women's studies at the global level. [3] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr Changetheworld ( talk • contribs) 16:05, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

More specifically, her contribution in the field of domestic violence law has been acknowledged with the emergence of coronavirus in 2020 and its impact on women [30] [31] [32] [33]
Her activism extends beyond the field of human rights too. <refhttps://www.firstpost.com/india/kathua-rape-and-murder-case-live-updates-pdp-to-meet-today-to-decide-future-course-of-action-after-two-bjp-ministers-quit-4431283.html></ref> [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40]
She has served as a visiting faculty at the Center for Women's Development Studies as she recieved senior fellowship by the Indian Council of Social Science Research, 2013-15 [41] Also, based on her contribution in the field of dowry and domestic violence, she was invited for a conference on dowry in 2019 at Sydney, Australia organized by UNSW and ACHRH [42]

WP:BLP of a politician notable only for holding local political offices, not adequately referenced as passing WP:NPOL #2. The offices he has held are mayor of a small town and district administrator of a landkreis (the German equivalent of a county), neither of which are "inherently" notable offices that automatically guarantee inclusion in Wikipedia per se -- at this level of significance, the notability test is not the ability to minimally verify that the person exists, but the ability to write and source a substantive article about his political significance: specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects he had on the development of the town or the county, and on and so forth. But there are just three sources here, two of which just verify the start and end of his county-level role with no evidence of any ongoing coverage while he was in office, and the third is just a very short blurb announcing his domestic partner registration. And, in fact, the article is so poorly maintained that it still describes him as the incumbent landrat of Regen even though he stepped down in 2017 and has not reassumed the office since. This just isn't enough coverage to make a person permanently and internationally notable for holding local office. Bearcat ( talk) 12:24, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

This is a tough one. A list of admiralty charts may well be a good subject for an article, and a lot of work has gone into this one. However, there is nothing special about the 1967 situation, catalogues were produced each year it seems and the choice for the 1967 one is completely random. Simply moving this to List of UK Admiralty Charts would be wrong though, as it is a very outdated snapshot only. While this is at AfD, perhaps draftifying would be the best solution, and there let people turn it into a general list instead of this specific one? No idea if someone would be interested in this work, but simply keeping it in the mainspace as is, isn't a good idea either. Fram ( talk) 09:09, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
(This comment added later): to be clear, the reason for deletion is a total lack of notability for the 1967 list of charts specifically.

Fram ( talk) 10:41, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
As the one who put in the work to tabulate this, I obviously wish to see it kept. Yes, it's a snapsot, but of a pretty slow-moving scene. As you can see from the edition dates these charts remained in use for decades. A listing of this sort every 20 years or so would come close to giving comprehensive coverage. The choice of 1967 is not exactly random. It is the only global catalogue since 1914 that is available on the internet, and the 1914 one: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/332262/UKHO-1914-Archives-Catalogue.pdf is of too poor quality for OCR. If more become available I will be happy to tabluate them! Until then, the listing is, I agree, not comprehensive. As others have pointed out, citing WP:NOTCLEANUP that is not in itself a sufficient reason for deletion. Also citing NOTCLEANUP, "Remember that there is no deadline". I suggest the question might be "is it useful?" For me, as one interested in all things nautical, it certainly is (and will continue to be so even if no longer on WP). I suspect there are others like me who find this valuable. Why should they be deprived of it? No-one has suggested that the information is not reliable or properly sourced. As for notability, I'd written most of this before seeing the last posts. It's a bit difficult to make a case when the ground seems to be shifting... But if the topic of Admiralty Charts is notable, it's difficult to see how an index that helps people to find the chart they are looking for is not notable. Kognos ( talk) 12:59, 15 July 2021 (UTC)

The discusison on whether the subject meets GNG/NPROF has been very long and held in at least two places ( Talk:Norman K. Risjord and Template:Did you know nominations/Norman K. Risjord), producing walls of text. As far as I can say, proponents of his notability point out to him receiving Fulbright Program (twice?) as arguments for meeting NPROF #2&5; there are also claims he meets NPROF #1&7 and even GNG. I don't find any of these convinng, sadly. Nobody has written even a biography paragraph about him (that's independent), there's no SIGCOV, Fulbright Program IMHO doesn't meet NPROF requirements for significant awards, and his citation count is average. Now, in all honesty, I think NPROF should be more inclusive, (since our guidelines for sportspeople, for example, seem to have much lower threshold, and tightening them is impossible due to number of fans they have) but until it is, I think borderline cases like this need to be discussed (particularly as this is being promoted as DYK). Since other venues have been exhausted and discussion stalled at what I believe is no consensus, and recent comments at DYK suggested AfD is the final way to decide this, here we go. For the record, while I consider Risjord a respectable academic, I also feel he belongs to the group of "people doing their work" without, unfortunately, achieving notability (not all professors are notable). Hopefully in the near future he either receives some career-level awards OR some other scholar decies to write up a bio of him (hopefully, pre-obituary, not to sound morbid, but this is often when academics like this become notable, once their obits are published by their former students in peer reviewed works...).

Someone somewheresaid Risjord is "especially strong" as a 'professional scholar', versus the 'published-doctorate-scholar' who is panned in the same review on the same topic.
TFD: is the contribution meaningful?, Risjord is established in the review as “a seasoned professional scholar” in his field. In this monograph, Risjord showed Jefferson to combine both "classical republicanism" [representative governance versus monarchy, oligarchy, dictator] with "Lockean liberalism" [sovereignty of the people, right of self government as rule by those ruled], see wp:common knowledge.
TFD: how did he do this?Jefferson balanced between them, shifting their prominence in his thinking by giving them different weight in the scales “under changing circumstances.”
TFD: which policies?The article to date is 'C-class' and as the particulars of Risjord’s contributions are outlined, it will certainly qualify for 'B-class' status. TheVirginiaHistorian ( talk) 19:56, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
People are presumed notable [with] significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject,as the several dozen journal citations provided that all attest to Risjord's notability. Nor has any editor in the article discussions every found any ONE or several among the 50 or so journal reviews that dismisses Risjord's scholarly work in over 80 days of discussion.
"...then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability."so, EDITORS HAVE BEEN MISTAKEN to insist on a monograph from an academic publisher dedicated to the scholarship of Norman K. Risjord. There are over 40 scholarly reviews, across academic journals of (a) three (3) historic periods, (b) three (3) specialty fields of history, political science, and economics, and (c) three (3) geographies of the United States, the American South and the state of Virginia. These "multiple independent sources" do NOT militate against maintaining the Risjord article, it justifies maintaining it here at Wikipedia at cited and linked here.

Practically an A7 for no indication of significance - whether by having members serve in Parliament, having an effect on policy, etc etc. Unsourced since creation in 2004. BEFORE search in English found no significant coverage, just trivial mentions in lists of political parties (should be noted that the article's original title apparently contained a typo; I have moved it to the correct name and searched using both). Can't search in Nepali because Nepali name wasn't given. Tried an in-text search for likely merge locations but nothing found.

Non-notable fictional character from a somewhat obscure alternate history series.

This list can't work. The consensus of RS has no agreed-upon way to exactly "measure" the IQ of anyone. This becomes even harder when including children and historical geniuses. Many reported high scores are from unscientific IQ tests, as opposed to ones in common use by trained psychologists. The single source used here is unreliable and unscientific, and does not even cite where its IQ scores come from. It is yet another sensationalist or clickbait article on the Internet. If we continue to expand this list with similar sources, it will become a list of mere rumors, which would violate both WP:SOAPBOX and WP:INDISCRIMINATE.
Because of the variety of outlandish IQ claims, I am doubtful that even a list of claimed IQ scores can work. It is difficult to reliably verify an IQ test score, unlike height (which is objectively measurable and can be reliably reported, c.f. List of tallest people). I therefore propose deleting this article entirely. Wikinights ( talk) 21:33, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and hoaxes. It's not possible to attribute an IQ score of 200 to reliable sources, because any source reporting an IQ score of 200 is simply not reliable for that assertion. It's impossible to calibrate a test that can accurately produce that result, because of the way the mathematics of IQ scores work—your score is determined by how large a proportion of the population you perform better than, and outperforming every single person on Earth would still only give you an IQ of (roughly) 195 (or equivalently, a Z-score of roughly +6⅓). An IQ of 200 means a Z-score of +6⅔, or 1 in roughly 76 billion ( thanks, WolframAlpha) – roughly an order of magnitude more than the current world population.

Not every 21-year-old “climate justice activist” belongs in an encyclopedia.

If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability, and in the article, there appears to be "more than press releases from Greenpeace and screenshots from the subject’s Instagram profile", e.g. New York Times 2020, 3 grafs, with her background as a Fridays for Future organizer in Britain and context, The Guardian 2021, 2 grafs, with background and context, The Guardian 2020, 3 grafs, with background and context, 7 UK Climate Activists Fighting For Marginalised Communities (Bustle, 2021, she is one of the featured activists), BBC3, 2021, 5-graf focus on her statements, with background and context, so WP:SUSTAINED and WP:BASIC notability appears to have support from the sources currently in the article.

A2: No, the article must still eventually provide sources indicating that the subject meets the general notability guideline. Although the criteria for a given sport should be chosen to be a very reliable predictor of the availability of appropriate secondary coverage from reliable sources, there can be exceptions. For contemporary persons, given a reasonable amount of time to locate appropriate sources, the general notability guideline should be met in order for an article to meet Wikipedia's standards for inclusion. (For subjects in the past where it is more difficult to locate sources, it may be necessary to evaluate the subject's likely notability based on other persons of the same time period with similar characteristics.)

2. The person who filed this petition as a lawyer and as a single mother fought her own case herself therefore the person becomes notable.
3. The person as a lawyer, researcher, and activist is working on gender and human rights issues and has other significant publications in her name. Some of her recent work is quoted in the article itself in the references list
4. Some of her work is important in terms of feminist research and has added a new dimension to feminist thinking in India. For instance, her work on domestic violence law in India from 2005 to a recent one in 2020 - a continuous series of books, articles, and papers on the issue of domestic violence law in India brings in a different dimension.
5. Most of the other work of the author not listed here such as her co-authored book published in 2016 on The Founding Mother: 15 women architects of the Indian Constitution is much applauded locally in India

More specifically, her contribution in the field of domestic violence law has been acknowledged with the emergence of coronavirus in 2020 and its impact on women [30] [31] [32] [33]
Her activism extends beyond the field of human rights too. <refhttps://www.firstpost.com/india/kathua-rape-and-murder-case-live-updates-pdp-to-meet-today-to-decide-future-course-of-action-after-two-bjp-ministers-quit-4431283.html></ref> [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40]
She has served as a visiting faculty at the Center for Women's Development Studies as she recieved senior fellowship by the Indian Council of Social Science Research, 2013-15 [41] Also, based on her contribution in the field of dowry and domestic violence, she was invited for a conference on dowry in 2019 at Sydney, Australia organized by UNSW and ACHRH [42]

WP:BLP of a politician notable only for holding local political offices, not adequately referenced as passing WP:NPOL #2. The offices he has held are mayor of a small town and district administrator of a landkreis (the German equivalent of a county), neither of which are "inherently" notable offices that automatically guarantee inclusion in Wikipedia per se -- at this level of significance, the notability test is not the ability to minimally verify that the person exists, but the ability to write and source a substantive article about his political significance: specific things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects he had on the development of the town or the county, and on and so forth. But there are just three sources here, two of which just verify the start and end of his county-level role with no evidence of any ongoing coverage while he was in office, and the third is just a very short blurb announcing his domestic partner registration. And, in fact, the article is so poorly maintained that it still describes him as the incumbent landrat of Regen even though he stepped down in 2017 and has not reassumed the office since. This just isn't enough coverage to make a person permanently and internationally notable for holding local office. Bearcat ( talk) 12:24, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a musician, not reliably sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their own music metaverifies its own existence on a streaming platform -- the notability test requires certain specific quantifiable achievements, independently verified by a certain specific calibre of reliable source coverage in real media. But this is referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all -- Spotify streams, IMDb, the self-published websites of people or organizations that he's been directly affiliated with, the subject's own social media feed -- and claims nothing about him that would be "inherently" notable enough to exempt the referencing from having to be much, much better than this.

I did my due diligence regarding research and this school, but, I cannot figure out how it passes WP:GNG (let alone WP:ORG). Yes, there were some brief mentions about one event with a lawsuit, but, that doesn't even qualify under Wikipedia:Notability (events).

This is a tough one. A list of admiralty charts may well be a good subject for an article, and a lot of work has gone into this one. However, there is nothing special about the 1967 situation, catalogues were produced each year it seems and the choice for the 1967 one is completely random. Simply moving this to List of UK Admiralty Charts would be wrong though, as it is a very outdated snapshot only. While this is at AfD, perhaps draftifying would be the best solution, and there let people turn it into a general list instead of this specific one? No idea if someone would be interested in this work, but simply keeping it in the mainspace as is, isn't a good idea either. Fram ( talk) 09:09, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
(This comment added later): to be clear, the reason for deletion is a total lack of notability for the 1967 list of charts specifically. The remainder of my comments above were thoughts on how the work that went into this one could somehow be reused to create an article that is acceptable, but I should have explicitly stated my initial deletion argument. Fram ( talk) 10:41, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
As the one who put in the work to tabulate this, I obviously wish to see it kept. Yes, it's a snapsot, but of a pretty slow-moving scene. As you can see from the edition dates these charts remained in use for decades. A listing of this sort every 20 years or so would come close to giving comprehensive coverage. The choice of 1967 is not exactly random. It is the only global catalogue since 1914 that is available on the internet, and the 1914 one: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/332262/UKHO-1914-Archives-Catalogue.pdf is of too poor quality for OCR. If more become available I will be happy to tabluate them! Until then, the listing is, I agree, not comprehensive. As others have pointed out, citing WP:NOTCLEANUP that is not in itself a sufficient reason for deletion. Also citing NOTCLEANUP, "Remember that there is no deadline". I suggest the question might be "is it useful?" For me, as one interested in all things nautical, it certainly is (and will continue to be so even if no longer on WP). I suspect there are others like me who find this valuable. Why should they be deprived of it? No-one has suggested that the information is not reliable or properly sourced. As for notability, I'd written most of this before seeing the last posts. It's a bit difficult to make a case when the ground seems to be shifting... But if the topic of Admiralty Charts is notable, it's difficult to see how an index that helps people to find the chart they are looking for is not notable. Kognos ( talk) 12:59, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
You'll not be surprised that I would prefer a move to Wikisource to complete deletion, nor that I would prefer to keep this as a WP article.

The discusison on whether the subject meets GNG/NPROF has been very long and held in at least two places ( Talk:Norman K. Risjord and Template:Did you know nominations/Norman K. Risjord), producing walls of text. As far as I can say, proponents of his notability point out to him receiving Fulbright Program (twice?) as arguments for meeting NPROF #2&5; there are also claims he meets NPROF #1&7 and even GNG. I don't find any of these convinng, sadly. Nobody has written even a biography paragraph about him (that's independent), there's no SIGCOV, Fulbright Program IMHO doesn't meet NPROF requirements for significant awards, and his citation count is average. Now, in all honesty, I think NPROF should be more inclusive, (since our guidelines for sportspeople, for example, seem to have much lower threshold, and tightening them is impossible due to number of fans they have) but until it is, I think borderline cases like this need to be discussed (particularly as this is being promoted as DYK). Since other venues have been exhausted and discussion stalled at what I believe is no consensus, and recent comments at DYK suggested AfD is the final way to decide this, here we go. For the record, while I consider Risjord a respectable academic, I also feel he belongs to the group of "people doing their work" without, unfortunately, achieving notability (not all professors are notable). Hopefully in the near future he either receives some career-level awards OR some other scholar decies to write up a bio of him (hopefully, pre-obituary, not to sound morbid, but this is often when academics like this become notable, once their obits are published by their former students in peer reviewed works...).

Someone somewheresaid Risjord is "especially strong" as a 'professional scholar', versus the 'published-doctorate-scholar' who is panned in the same review on the same topic.
TFD: is the contribution meaningful?, Risjord is established in the review as “a seasoned professional scholar” in his field. In this monograph, Risjord showed Jefferson to combine both "classical republicanism" [representative governance versus monarchy, oligarchy, dictator] with "Lockean liberalism" [sovereignty of the people, right of self government as rule by those ruled], see wp:common knowledge.
TFD: how did he do this?Jefferson balanced between them, shifting their prominence in his thinking by giving them different weight in the scales “under changing circumstances.”
TFD: which policies?The article to date is 'C-class' and as the particulars of Risjord’s contributions are outlined, it will certainly qualify for 'B-class' status. TheVirginiaHistorian ( talk) 19:56, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
People are presumed notable [with] significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject,as the several dozen journal citations provided that all attest to Risjord's notability. Nor has any editor in the article discussions every found any ONE or several among the 50 or so journal reviews that dismisses Risjord's scholarly work in over 80 days of discussion.
"...then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability."so, EDITORS HAVE BEEN MISTAKEN to insist on a monograph from an academic publisher dedicated to the scholarship of Norman K. Risjord. There are over 40 scholarly reviews, across academic journals of (a) three (3) historic periods, (b) three (3) specialty fields of history, political science, and economics, and (c) three (3) geographies of the United States, the American South and the state of Virginia. These "multiple independent sources" do NOT militate against maintaining the Risjord article, it justifies maintaining it here at Wikipedia at cited and linked here.

Practically an A7 for no indication of significance - whether by having members serve in Parliament, having an effect on policy, etc etc. Unsourced since creation in 2004. BEFORE search in English found no significant coverage, just trivial mentions in lists of political parties (should be noted that the article's original title apparently contained a typo; I have moved it to the correct name and searched using both). Can't search in Nepali because Nepali name wasn't given. Tried an in-text search for likely merge locations but nothing found. Unclear relationship to the Rastriya Prajatantra Party as it isn't mentioned there so no indication if it would be mergeable there (happy to withdraw if sources substantiate that it is though). ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 05:29, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

Non-notable fictional character from a somewhat obscure alternate history series. Sources currently in the article are either unreliable or consist solely of passing mentions in the context of plot summaries. The best coverage is the scifi.com piece, which just refers to Featherston as a megalomaniac and a scoundrel. Aside from a handful of passing mentions in marginal sources about this figure being the fictional Confederate Hitler, I can find no significant coverage for this fictional character outside of plot summaries.

Article has largely been gutted as a copyvio anyway after being listed at WP:CP (not entirely sure why isn't wasn't straight-up G12'd when only a single sentence survived the copyvio purging). Anyway, what remained before the copyright removal was a statement that it was never fully officered, that it was short-lived and never saw combat, and a listing of companies, sourced to an unreliable website and some primary source military records. I don't think this is notable, as the coverage I can find is solely in primary or unreliable sources, and the unit never saw action. Hog Farm Talk 04:53, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
