Timex Black Max

It doesn't look like there are enough sources for GNG, maybe delete or redirect to Timex? BuySomeApples (talk) 01:05, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Teresa Lourenco

Obviously self-published self-biographical promotional. This seriously detracts from the quality of Wikipedia. JustMakeTheAccount (talk) 00:35, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fifteen years of this sticking around; definitely not much of an article, but props to whoever got this BLP to stick around that long unchanged (and its simplicity could be a lesson to a lot of these editors who throw obvious paid WP:RESUME articles that are regulars here).

Comment: The nominator, immediately after starting this nomination, also attempted to intitate a PROD with the rationale This article has had a deletion consensus for over 15 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/I._H._Sangam_Dev. I procedurally declined the PROD; not only is it not allowed to have both processes going simultaneously, but any article previously discussed at AfD — and this is not the first article at this title — is also ineligible for PROD. (I have no opinion on the article itself at this time.) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 00:50, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Rocket boots

fails WP:GNG. The refs are copies of the same sensationalist article. I didnt find and native Russian sources, and English sources for the term are something else. --Altenmann >talk 00:25, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I did find russian sources: [1] [2] but I am still not sure about notability. --Altenmann >talk 00:41, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. One of the references is a bylined article from The New York Times. The South African article is credited to Sapa/DPA, which I think means that Deutsche Presse-Agentur, a reliable news agency, wrote the article and it was distributed in South Africa by South African Press Association, also reliable. I hoped to find the original DPA article by searching for Raketenstiefel, but only found uses of the term in the context of goblin rocket boots in World of Warcraft. Still, we have multiple in-depth references from reliable sources. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 00:52, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
