The article currently does not cite any sources, and I was unable to find significant coverage of Henningsen in secondary sources beyond an obituary in the New York Times. His positions at Henningsen Foods and various local and nonprofit organisations do not appear to confer presumed notability. SuperCode111 (talk to me!) 02:13, 3 August 2026 (UTC) reply

Delete – The article does not appear to satisfy the general notability guideline (WP:GNG). The available sources do not provide significant coverage establishing encyclopedic notability. Reality show participant without winning, and the article relies heavily on coverage related to the reality television and publicity rather than enduring secondary sources.

The formatting and structure indicates this might have been written with WP:LLM AI. For instance, there are many sections uncited and bolded sub-headings that do not meat MOS The content itself is also very fluffery-adjacent and likely is WP:UNDUE coverage. Beyond that, it also likely does not meet WP:NEVENT as the coverage is recent and routine even if covered in diverse sources EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 01:21, 3 August 2026 (UTC) reply

I propose merging to List of Islamist terrorist attacks because this page falls under WP:NOPAGE and very likely does not meet WP:NEVENT. There are books that cover this event after it happened, like this one, but this is from the US state department, which was involved in this event, so it is not WP:INDEPENDENT. In terms of WP:NEVENT, coverage does not demonstrate WP:LASTING effects or any casestudies HerrHeulsuse (talk) 08:18, 26 July 2026 (UTC) reply

- Keep per WP:NEVENT and WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE. There has been substantial coverage over time of this event, as evident from Google Books. The nomination places undue emphasis on a single book, creating a distraction. For a short article, this one does a good job of focusing on the event itself rather than its background or aftermath. gidonb (talk) 09:15, 28 July 2026 (UTC) reply

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL )
Fails WP:NPLACE and WP:GNG. No evidence of a community at this location.
The article Welcome to Ven Petten: Population 2 only describes a couple who live next to the former rail depot, who have turned their home into a sort of museum. No mention is made of a former larger town. –dlthewave ☎ 22:16, 18 July 2026 (UTC) reply

- Keep: Added some sources. Also, the "Van Petten:Population 2" article does mention former establishments, including a general store, grain company, and railroad station. This was never a vibrant town, but it was a recognized community.--Milowent • has spoken 17:44, 22 July 2026 (UTC) reply
- The general store and grain company are typical for what you'd find on the grounds of a simple rural railroad station. I'm not sure where the "recognized community" description is coming from. Although it was platted as a town, we don't have any evidence that a town ever actually formed there. –dlthewave ☎ 04:00, 23 July 2026 (UTC) reply
- I mean informally recognized. And there's a 2010 news story saying they have a mayor and pay town taxes in 2010 to remain a town. I understand why you nominated the article for deletion, but i think its sufficiently notable. (ETA: also note the 1938 reference saying the population is 12.) There are many old newspaper references to the community, but those are more the variety of "Bill Joe of Van Petten came to Dixon today", so i didn't want to pollute the references with that.--Milowent • has spoken 13:56, 23 July 2026 (UTC) reply
- Which notability guideline do you believe this meets? Van Petten doesn't appear in 2012 Illinois Counties and Incorporated Municipalities, and it's not clear what this "town tax" refers to. This really just looks like a single couple who was keeping the idea of a "town" alive for sentimental purposes. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be either official recognition or significant coverage to meet NPLACE or GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 15:33, 23 July 2026 (UTC) reply
- I have continued to improve the article and feel comfortable stating I am now an expert in the complete history of Van Petten, Illinois. As a self-appointed expert, you will unable to sway my !vote. Seriously though, i think there's a fair case for showing it was an informally recognized small community that started in 1901 and that had largely died by the late 1930s. The plat was not vacated until 2024. I still don't know what the town tax is, so my expertness is perhaps incomplete.--Milowent • has spoken 21:38, 23 July 2026 (UTC) reply

- In the context of China's media landscape where nearly all publications have a connection to the state, I agree that these sources are sufficient to establish notability. Requiring sources with no connection to the state would impose a standard that requires international coverage. That sets an unnecessarily high bar that would result in the deletion of numerous China-related topics. Cunard (talk) 07:46, 20 July 2026 (UTC) reply

From Google Translate: "The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) has learned from the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine that on the afternoon of June 29, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the National Health and Family Planning Commission, and the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine jointly held a commendation ceremony at the Jingxi Hotel in Beijing. At the event, the honorary title of "Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine" was conferred upon Wang Shimin and others, entitling them to the same benefits as provincial- and ministerial-level model workers; the honorary title of "National Renowned TCM Practitioner" was conferred upon Ding Shuwen and others, while the late Gao Shanglin was posthumously awarded the same title. To date, the selection and commendation of "Masters of Traditional Chinese Medicine" have been conducted three times, honoring a total of 90 individuals, whereas the selection and commendation of "National Renowned TCM Practitioners" was held for the first time. It is reported that the selection process for these honors prioritized practitioners working at the grassroots level and on the clinical front lines. Through a selection process involving bottom-up recommendations at every level, as well as a procedure of "two reviews and three public announcements," 30 Masters of Traditional Chinese Medicine and 100 National Renowned TCM Practitioners were selected."

This marked the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China that the government conducted a nationwide selection of national-level TCM grandmasters.

The Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine jointly decided to select 500 veteran TCM experts nationwide to serve as mentors; each was assigned one or two mid-career assistants—who already possessed a solid foundation in both theory and practice—to facilitate knowledge transfer through direct apprenticeship and face-to-face instruction. That October, a grand ceremony was held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing to mark the launch of this national program for inheriting the academic expertise of veteran TCM experts. Subsequently, more than 500 renowned veteran TCM practitioners—including the 30 individuals designated as "Masters of Traditional Chinese Medicine" in this selection process—took on the role of guiding the inheritance of academic expertise..."

These sources all address "the topic directly and in detail" so are sufficient to meet the requirement. I've responded above about why I consider the sources to be sufficiently independent. Cunard (talk) 09:45, 21 July 2026 (UTC) reply"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.

- Removing promotional material that is against the PaG is not an attempt to save it. Nor is putting a maintenance tag, such as a stub tag. As for the marking it as reviewed, part of WP:NPP is putting articles up for AfD as part of reviewing them. It's basically only stating that the article isn't pure vandalism or promotional. Further, removing promotional material does not at all address the main reason the article is at AfD: It lacks independent sources. To compare: both Friendship Medal (China) and State Natural Science Award (China) have multiple sources that are not from the government nor state-owned media. The medal even has international coverage. If you cannot find independent sources, then it fails to meet the standards of the English Wikipedia. Jerod Lycett (talk) 11:01, 25 July 2026 (UTC) reply

[edit ]Category:Name changes due to the George Floyd protests
[edit ]- Propose Deleting Category:Name changes due to the George Floyd protests
- Nominator's rationale: the spirit of WP:SHAREDNAME, WP:NOTDICTIONARY, and WP:NONDEFINING
- During 2020, a number of institutions revisited the racist meanings behind their long established names and finally updated them to be more representative. The old name is often in the intro with maybe a sentence on the rename but that doesn't seem defining as the actual topics have nothing in common creating a jumble of articles unlikely to aid navigation. This includes the Thick-billed longspur bird (née McCown's longspur), Hotel 24 South (Stonewall Jackson Hotel), America's Best Chew (Redman Chewing Tobacco), The Chicks (Dixie Chicks), Edy's Pie (Eskimo Pie), John R. Lewis High School (Robert E. Lee High School), and Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges (King Leopold Mountains). This could still work if we had enough articles specifically on the name changes but we only have Cleveland Indians name and logo controversy and Washington Redskins name controversy while the third one, 2020 Rhode Island Question 1, doesn't mention Mr. Floyd. We already have List of name changes due to the George Floyd protests for any reader interested in this topic. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:34, 3 August 2026 (UTC) reply
Category:Edinburgh Festival performers
[edit ]- Propose Deleting Category:Edinburgh Festival performers
- Propose Deleting Category:Edinburgh Comedy Festival
- Nominator's rationale: textbook WP:PERFCAT and WP:NONDEFINING
- Greg Davies, Hannah Gadsby, and Space Cowboy are stars who have performed in many venues, including the the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. In practice, the comedy subcategory is also a performance category which is not remotely defining for Joan Rivers, John Hegley, or Imran Yusuf. No objections to list articles but this leads to category clutter because prominent performers are prominent because they get booked for many performances. - RevelationDirect (talk) 01:09, 3 August 2026 (UTC) reply

[edit ]Varsha Mahender Sabhnani
[edit ]- Varsha Mahender Sabhnani → Muttontown, New York#History (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget /delete ]
There isn't a person named "Varsha Mahender Sabhnani". As indicated by the cited sources, there were actually two people, named "Varsha Sabhnani" and "Mahender Sabhnani". So I suggest deletion. Duckmather (talk) 01:12, 3 August 2026 (UTC) reply
Welcome to Duloc
[edit ]- Welcome to Duloc → Shrek (soundtrack) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget /delete ]
Not sure why this song title redirects to an album of which "Welcome to Duloc" is not a part. Perhaps it would be a better idea to change this to the main film article instead, but to play it safe I'd rather get others' opinions first.

- As a matter of fact, the word "Duloc" isn't even mentioned in the article. In solidarity, Gommeh (talk 🎮 sign) 01:24, 3 August 2026 (UTC) reply
