Fails WP:N. While he was a recognized face in the audience, outside of that he had no substantial involvement in any wrestling show he attended. There are plenty of fans that stand out as regulars but that doesn't make them inherently notable. Rusted AutoParts 03:26, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

This appears to be an LLM article creation with some typical WP:AISIGNS including WP:AIDASH and WP:AITREND (As a result, spall strength research continues to evolve at the intersection of materials science, mechanics, and data-driven engineering.

I propose redirecting to Anarbor#Discography because 3 of the references are promotional (Youtube/Amazon) and the other two are short reviews Emcgonigle (talk) 01:03, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

I propose redirecting to Anarbor#Discography because all four sources are short, and announce the album coming out but don't cover the album. Emcgonigle (talk) 01:01, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

Unsourced since 2010. I cannot find any independent coverage that comes close to being substantive, with the only articles I can find being WP:CORPTRIV. I also can't find substantiation of the co-founders names in reliable sourcing. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 00:59, 2 October 2026 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG/WP:BIO. I cannot identify sufficient significant coverage of the subject in reliable, independent secondary sources to establish notability for a standalone biography. Much of the article relies on primary, self-published, affiliated, directory/profile, or otherwise non-independent material, while a number of independent sources concern events with which the subject was associated rather than providing significant coverage of the subject himself. The article contains extensive CV/profile-style biographical material, promotional language and synthesis, but these are secondary to the underlying notability issue.

[edit]Categories
[edit]NEW NOMINATIONS
[edit]Category:Deserts of Bulgaria
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Deserts of Bulgaria to Category:Deserts of Europe
- Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer Arctic Circle System (talk) 03:16, 2 October 2026 (UTC)
Category:Deserts of Lithuania and Russia
[edit]- Propose merging Category:Deserts of Lithuania and Russia to Category:Deserts of Europe
- Nominator's rationale: Redundant category layer Arctic Circle System (talk) 03:14, 2 October 2026 (UTC)
Category:Clans based in South Jeolla Province
[edit]- Propose renaming Category:Clans based in South Jeolla Province to Category:Clans based in Jeonnam-Gwangju
- Nominator's rationale: rename, the territory of former South Jeolla Province is now part of Jeonnam-Gwangju. Marcocapelle (talk) 00:21, 2 October 2026 (UTC)
Category:History of South Jeolla Province
[edit]- Propose merging Category:History of South Jeolla Province to Category:South Jeolla Province
- Nominator's rationale: merge, South Jeolla is a former province, so everything is history. There is no need for two separate categories. Marcocapelle (talk) 00:18, 2 October 2026 (UTC)
Redirects
[edit]Tge Simpsons
[edit]- Tge Simpsons → The Simpsons (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
Despite "Tge" -> "The" being a very common English typo I doubt this is actually a necessary redirect. ~ lily my tree ~ 03:33, 2 October 2026 (UTC)
Fan Song
[edit]- Fan Song → SNR-75 (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- Fan-song → S-75 Dvina (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
These two redirects should have the same target, but I know nothing about the topic of radar technology, so I'm not sure what it should be. Or maybe the target should be Fan labor or Filk music? Or maybe Fan § Music? –CopperyMarrow15 (talk · edits) 03:33, 2 October 2026 (UTC)
Great Chinese Takeaway
[edit]- Great Chinese Takeaway → Hong Kong handover ceremony (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I did a quick google search and found something about Charles III writing a book related to China, but I think it's unlikely someone would search for that term specifically to try to find this the handover ceremony itself. ~ lily my tree ~ 03:27, 2 October 2026 (UTC)
Daddy Yankee Prestage
[edit]- Daddy Yankee Prestage → Daddy Yankee (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
I see no evidence that Daddy Yankee is also known as "Daddy Yankee Prestage". The one and only google search result I got was for a single Facebook profile, which doesn't even mention the term. I suggest deletion (with a very distant second choice of retargeting to Prestige (Daddy Yankee album) if "Prestage" happens to be seen as a plausible misspelling of "Prestige").

Howtopedia
[edit]Not mentioned in the target disambiguation page. According to my search results, Howtopedia is a wiki for topics related to "practical knowledge" and "simple technologies" (though their website is no longer functional). Elsewhere in article namespace, this wiki is only mentioned inside a ref in the article Florentine flask, and, given the website's apparent baggage across the project, that reference looks highly dubious and should likely be removed and replaced with a better source. I recommend deleting this redirect, and not per WP:RETURNTORED, as I have no expectation that a suitable article on this wiki will ever be written. The disambiguation page itself lists WikiHow and another satirical wiki called "HowTo'", but I would argue that keeping this redirect in any form because of these two projects is a stretch.

90th Guards Tank Division (1957–1985)
[edit]- 90th Guards Tank Division (1957–1985) → 90th Guards Rifle Division (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
- 90th Guards Tank Division (1957-1985) → 90th Guards Rifle Division (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]
The years in the qualifier are incorrect according to the article; the division had this name from 1965–1985. The correct redirect 90th Guards Tank Division (1965–1985) now exists. Delete these incorrect redirects. Mdewman6 (talk) 00:15, 2 October 2026 (UTC)
