No evidence of notability. Appears to be a middle-ranking Chinese businessman. The subject doesn't have any significant coverage in reliable sources, the pages currently used only mention him in passing or use him as one of many sources for quotes on a more important topic. The Chinese language source, similarly, is a video interview (so not counting for notability purposes) where the subject seems to be giving his views on aspects of the belt and road.--Boynamedsue (talk) 09:34, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of S&box games (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

See WP:NLIST. I'm not sure this really needs a separate article from S&box at this point and some content could easily be merged, such as the first-party activities. Lot of very heavy WP:PRIMARY sourcing relied upon to provide content on the games. Other than some minor coverage for Team Fortress: Source 2, the games don't seem independently notable, which definitely raises the onus on whether the category as a whole satisfies WP:NLIST. Given there's no secondary sourcing provided about the games as a whole, I'm inclined to say this isn't. VRXCES (talk) 09:52, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is unreferenced, sole footnote is broken. Not seeing how this duo meets WP:NBIO. There is a chance they meet NBIO individually (for example, Ernie Rettino had a Grammy nom? [1]). But the duo, under the name given in the article, does not appear to be notable (no GS/GB hits, just Google - and concerns about WP:CITOGENESIS are an issue). Is it even official? Did they have a band under that name? Article does not make this clear...). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:53, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

An article on a pharmaceuticals company, sourced to their own site. The article makes bold claims, of the benefits of their new drug "for curing schizophrenia"; I can see a Reuters report, but that is essentially the company founder predicting a great future. Other than that, searches find stock price discussions and announcements about other drugs,falling under WP:CORPTRIV. Clearly a company going about its business (in a sector where caution is needed about repeating predictive claims), but I am not seeing the coverage of the company itself needed to demonstrate attained notability.

No references found. Promotional tone found. Gauravs 51 (talk) 08:18, 14 March 2025 (UTC) I do not understand why this page is marked for deletion. Lokad is one of the few commercially successful AI startups in Europe. At a time when the general public largely equates AI with chatbots, highlighting companies that use AI to run operations (Lokad for supply chain optimization, the only other that comes to mind is aiomatic for predictive maintenance) is really important.[reply]

I myself run an AI optimization startup in the US (insideopt.com) and I know how much work is needed to educate the public that modern computer science allows us to bring efficiency to a world that is battling with uncertainty and limited resources. Lokad is a company that helps make our supply chains more resilient and avoid reduce unnecessary transportation and wasted products.

In my humble opinion, it fits Wikis mission to let the public know that these capabilities exist and exist as commercial offerings and not just in theory as research projects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meinolf71 (talkcontribs) 10:47, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Was PROD’d for lack of general notability and WP:NFILM; an IP editor removed the PROD tag with the edit summary “Gary Daniels and Robin Curtis…” so now we go to AfD.

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

This list and fails WP:NLIST and WP:NOR. There is precisely one source (the Finnish Alpine Club's list of Finns who have climbed 8000 m peaks, which itself cites en-wiki and fi-wiki as sources), and the page admits up top that it has been updated via the page creator's primary source research. The other sources are a mix of off-topic sources ("general information on each mountain" that is WP:UNDUE here) and unreliable/primary sources like SummitPost. This subject fails WP:NLIST because the only source that discusses these mountaineers as a group is the Finnish Alpine Club, which is a membership group not independent of Finnish mountaineers.

Part of a series of articles created by User:Hilit.schenkel who is now blocked for advertising. Article was disputed for PROD by a WP:SPA. Article is heavily promotional in breach of WP:SPAM even after so many edits and will have to be redone to comply with wiki policy. In addition listed companies are expected to be but not inherently notable. Current sourcing of company to fulfill WP:NCORP is quite weak especially for a listed company.

I am struggling to find sufficient in-depth coverage of the subject to meet WP:GNG. There are two pieces from the same author from The Herald-Times (1, 2), which counts as one solid source. However, most other coverage approaching SIGCOV is relegated to team-specific blogs written by non-notable sportswriters (Indiana Hoosiers on SI, HoosierHuddle, TheHoosier.com, etc.). This author, for example, has only ever written for Indiana Hoosiers on SI and The Hoosier Network since recently graduating from college. JTtheOG (talk) 02:45, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

B Major (South african Producer) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I considered leaving put this incarnation of an article that has been speedy-deleted and AFDed many, many times, in conjunction with blocks on a litany of sockpuppets. The difference this time is that a number of sources were new and a few, at first glance, looked substantial. But then they fell apart on further inspection, and notability still appears not to have been reached.

After I removed all the "refs" that were really download links, for all the individual songs listed, that originally appeared in the article, I'm left with six. Here's my assessment of them.

  • "Major hit in the making: Mitchells Plain muso drops new album". www.dailyvoice.co.za. Retrieved 13 March 2025. I'm puzzled that this is in Spanish on a Spanish website. Nevertheless, it's a brief article of some substance. Yet, the site describes itself as "Un medio para la libertad de información: Free Press Info es un sitio web especializado en la difusión de información periodística, publicidad y marketing por Internet; en defensa de la libertad de expresión" ("A medium for the free dissemination of information: Free Press Info is a web site specializing in the publication of journalistic information, publicity, and marketing via the Internet ...". I'm reading this as "self-published article".
  • Kujjo, Keji (7 December 2021). "Tuesday Interviews: B Major". Gazeti. Archived from the original on 12 February 2023. Retrieved 14 March 2025. It's an interview.
  • Grootboom, Jamal. "YoungstaCPT responds to claims that '1000 Mistakes' music composition was stolen". www.iol.co.za. Retrieved 13 March 2025. This is the one source of the six that I've seen before. It's really about YoungstaCPT; I don't feel it conveys any sense of Martin's significance.
  • Esack, Fuad (28 February 2024). "Martin's Matters of the Heart is Mitchell's Plain Bjorn and bred". Plainsman. Retrieved 12 March 2025. Most of this is just quoting Martin, and the publication, the Plainsman, is local to a single district of Cape Town, Mitchells Plains, where Martin is from. The footer of the page tells us that its distribution area is defined by two shopping districts ("This long established popular community title includes the key shopping centres the Promenade Mall and Town Centre Shopping Centre within its distribution area."). So it's a local-boy profile.
  • Brooks, Anthony Davidson (22 July 2024). "B Major SA: South African Music Producer Gains Acclaim with Award Nomination at Cape Town Artist Awards". Hype Music. Retrieved 13 March 2025. This article looks promising, especially if the publisher is, as the masthead claims, "South Africa's No. 1 Hip Hop Magazine".
  • Dean, Marsha (2 August 2023). "Major hit in the making: Mitchells Plain muso drops new album". www.dailyvoice.co.za. Retrieved 13 March 2025. The publisher looks OK but it looks like a PR insertion as it begins "Mitchells Plain music producer and composer Bjorn Martin, aka B Major, is thrilled to announce" and consists mostly of quotes by him.

I'm not finding anything further via Google. Largoplazo (talk) 01:50, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep
@Largoplazo Thank you for reviewing the article. I’d like to clarify a few points regarding notability and the reliability of sources:
Notability (WP:MUSICBIO & WP:GNG)
B Major SA meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for musicians (WP:MUSICBIO) as he has:
A best-selling song on notable music service Qobuz (Another Life).
A Cape Town Artist Awards nomination, an independent industry recognition.
Coverage in multiple independent sources.
Reliable Sources (WP:RS)
Hype Music: Describes itself as “South Africa’s No. 1 Hip Hop Magazine,” making it a strong industry source.
IOL & Daily Voice: These are established South African media outlets that frequently cover the country’s music scene. IOL, in particular, is widely recognized as a reliable source.
Plainsman: While local, still it is an independent publication with editorial oversight, making it a valid secondary source.
Gazeti Interview: While interviews alone are not enough for notability, they supplement coverage rather than define it.
The fact that multiple sources independently covered his achievements suggests he is notable within the South African music industry.
If there were past deletions, this version of the article contains substantially improved sourcing and meets notability requirements better than previous iterations.
I respectfully request that the article not be deleted and instead be improved if necessary. JoshuaDello (talk) 06:31, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"IOL & Daily Voice: These are established South African media outlets that frequently cover the country’s music scene. IOL, in particular, is widely recognized as a reliable source." even though the article isn't about him it qualifies for facts. The fact that B Major does exist and his real name is Bjorn Martin from Cape town. Its Coming from a high quality trusted source. Daily Voice writes in different styles even Afrikaans mixed with English so the writing might not always look professional but all writing and publishing is done by editorial oversight and they are qualified journalists who often writes about the South African entertainment and music industry. JoshuaDello (talk) 06:37, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
FreePressInfo although is an overseas media outlet has written about Bjorn, proving that his presence and art is reaching places beyond Cape town, before adding Freepressinfo as a source i did research to see if the outlet had any editorial oversight. which is does as it publishes many news stories a day im sure that a media outlet wont just publish something without editorial oversight. this includes all the publications used in this article. The one thing which make these 6 sources strong enough to keep article is their editorial oversight. It is secondary from the subject and should be treated as such no matter how it was written. it is also not an Paid Advertise or articles as most articles will have a banner or text saying the article was paid for.. this is natural coverage over the years please pay attention to dates as well. JoshuaDello (talk) 06:45, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Can we please agree to disagree that the subject is covered enough to either forge a stub article as time suggests that the subject is relevant in this time and age meaning more likely to accomplish greater things in the industry. As the information is taken from different news oulets to create one story is substantial enough for the subject to warrant a stand alone "start article" or "stub article".
kind regards

This (likely LLM-generated) article is based on entirely hallucinated or fabricated citations. They simply don't exist, none of them. No search results come back for these text strings. Examples: There is no book called Indigenous Peoples of Bangladesh by an R. Ahmed from Dhaka University Press. The International Journal of Cultural Studies published volume 13 in 2010, not volume 16, and no article by this title appears in its archives. Archive.org has never once recorded a site at chakmaheritage.org. I was hesitant to file an A11 or a G4 since I think some admins might be reluctant to delete something with purported sources, but anyone who looks closely will see this is plainly made up. The only source Google turns up for this topic is a university webpage that does not cover the topic but only serves up advertising spam. The subject obviously fails WP:GNG and WP:NOTHOAX.
