  1. File:This shows the bond of Silicon Oxide using the Bohr model.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified $200inaire (talk · contribs) 18:04, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Inaccurate molecular model: The individual molecule is linear and exists only under extreme conditions. There are 2 valence electrons too many.
  2. Icarus Interstellar: nominated at AfD; notified Kflong (talk · contribs) 11:14, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: This topic was brought up at Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard#Spacedrives along with their project about an antimatter rocket, the latter of which was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vacuum to Antimatter-Rocket. It was noticed that this article is written like a PR and has flimsy, WP:PROFRINGE sources. Upon analysis of the sources, there was at most one usable item for notability.
      List of sources:
      # [1]: Primary source.
      # [2]: Dead link to and Alaska government website, possibly with regards to its registration status as a nonprofit.
      # [3]: Primarily an interview.
      # [4]: Primary source.
      # [5]: Dead link, presumably a primary source.
      # Duplicate of 1
      # [6]: Paywalled, can't tell.
      # Duplicate of 3
      # [7]: Primarily about their Project Persephone, not Icarus; almost entirely based on the members' own comments.
      # [8]: Dead link
      # [9]: Primarily about Project Persephone; seems rather pro-fringe.
      # [10]: Dead link?
      # [11]: Passing mention; primarily about Eric Davies.
      # [12]: Scheduale for a conference organized by Icarus.
      # [13]: PR-like article describing the the conference; I don't think this is encyclopedic.
      # [14]: PR.
      # [15]: Dead link.
      # [16]: Primary source.
      The previous nomination in 2014 did not adequately scrutinize the sources found, and may have been held to lower standards than current WP:FRINGE guidelines. The article claims that no updates on their projects have been published since 2015, suggesting that the project went inactive not long after the last AfD; thus, I have not attempted WP:BEFORE. It may also be worth investigating the articles about their specific projects.
  3. Suprercalafragalasticespealadoshes: nominated at RfD; Target: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (notified); notified Kakashi77 (talk · contribs) 04:00, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
  4. Supercadrafristicexpealodocious: nominated at RfD; Target: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (notified); notified Bloodymary2 (talk · contribs) 04:04, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is the only misspelling redirect that botches -cal-, as well as one of only two (out of 45) where f is not followed by r. It has the third largest edit distance from the correct spelling (8).
  5. Supercalafajalistickespeealadojus: nominated at RfD; Target: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (notified); notified Fabiform (talk · contribs) 04:09, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason': At an edit distance of 12, this is the absolute least accurate spelling. It is also one of only 2 where f is not followed by r; and the only one containing either k or two js.
  6. Supercalafregalisticexpialadociious: nominated at RfD; Target: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (notified); notified WikiRules~enwiki (talk · contribs) 04:15, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is the only misspelling redirect containing either ii or fr followed by e.
  7. Supercalifragilisticoespialidoso: nominated at RfD; Target: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (notified); notified Luisete (talk · contribs) 04:20, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is the only misspelling redirect not ending in s. It is also the only one where -fragilistic- is followed by o.
  8. Supercalafragilisticexpiealadoscious: nominated at RfD; Target: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (notified); notified Androo123 (talk · contribs) 04:37, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The only remaining misspelling redirect containing ie or -doscious. One of three remaining redirects with 4 spelling errors.
  9. Corporate media: nominated at RfD; Target: Concentration of media ownership (notified); notified Trey Stone (talk · contribs) 04:37, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

April 2021

  1. Taper ratio: nominated at RfD; Target: Chord (aeronautics) (notified); notified TarunBJain (talk · contribs) 16:23, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The quantity is mentioned only in passing in the target, and is also mentioned in a totally different context in Space elevator. The original article was an unsourced, 2-sentence stub that fails WP:DICDEF and lacked context.
  2. Category:Hypothetical nuclei: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Hypothetical composite particles; notified V1adis1av (talk · contribs) 18:30, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
  3. Event symmetry: nominated at AfD; notified Weburbia (talk · contribs) 18:10, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per Talk:Event symmetry, this is an incoherent WP:SYNTH of unrelated topics that is overwhelmingly background information and does not clearly or accurately explain what this topic is. Summary:
      * Nonsense that is mostly background information and gives a nonsensical conclusion that the equations governing the laws of physics must be unchanged when transformed by any permutation of spacetime events — which means that all scalar fields are uniform. Uses a soap bubble analogy in an unencyclopedic manner and ends by making an OR connection between the article topic and John Stachel's proposed principle of maximal permutability that equivalent objects of the same kind are exchangeable.
      * A non-notable fringe theory of quantum gravity, which is cited entirely to primary sources, along with similarly non-notable theories absed on random graphs.
      * A poorly explained notion of diffeomorphism invariance applied to a matrix model of M-theory. This section incorrectly juxtaposes D0-branes, instantons, and events.
      * A misinterpretation of something in a sci-fi novel Permutation City.
  4. Rhotacism (speech impediment): nominated at RM; New name: De-rhotacism 14:47, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
  5. Hanna-Barbera's Cartoon Corral: nominated at RfD; Target: Hanna-Barbera (notified); notified 4.241.30.203 (talk · contribs) 04:14, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-notable compilation series redirected unilaterally in 2005, and no longer mentioned at target.
  6. Category:Federal buildings in the United States: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Buildings of the United States government; notified Doncram (talk · contribs) 00:11, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
  7. Enhancement or quenching of QD, Q-wire and QW radiations: nominated at AfD; notified Stnhead (talk · contribs) 00:51, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
  8. Category:Acoustics articles needing expert attention: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Iceblock (talk · contribs) 16:18, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
  9. Cultural depictions of Philadelphia: nominated at AfD; notified Boothy443 (talk · contribs) 16:54, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
  10. Trucking industry in popular culture (United States): nominated at RM; New name: Trucking industry in American culture 16:59, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Odd disambiguator without a base title.
  11. Hoover Dam in popular culture: nominated at AfD; notified SamHolt6 (talk · contribs) 17:00, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
  12. Orange County, California, in popular culture: nominated at AfD; notified Barryjjoyce (talk · contribs) 19:00, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
  13. San Francisco in popular culture: nominated at AfD; notified DaveOinSF (talk · contribs) 19:06, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
  14. Tallahassee in popular culture: nominated at AfD; notified Noles1984 (talk · contribs) 19:08, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
  15. Mobile, Alabama, in popular culture: nominated at AfD; notified Вasil (talk · contribs) 19:10, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
  16. Savannah, Georgia, in popular culture: nominated at AfD; notified Absolon (talk · contribs) 19:13, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
  17. Palm Springs in popular culture: nominated at AfD; notified Srich32977 (talk · contribs) 19:19, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
  18. List of references to Miami in popular culture: nominated at AfD; notified SeminoleNation (talk · contribs) 19:26, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
  19. Pseudoscience in Pakistan: nominated at RfD; Target: Superstition in Pakistan (notified); notified Mar4d (talk · contribs) 01:02, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-neutral redirect. Pseudoscience is not discussed at the target, and frustrates users looking for, say, Pervez Hoodbhoy. This is the only redirect beginning with Pseudoscience in.
  20. Tyrium: nominated at RfD; Target: Neodymium (notified); notified Spangineer (talk · contribs) 17:45, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not mentoned anywhere on Wikipedia.
  21. Astateen: nominated at RfD; Target: Astatine (notified); notified DudeWithAFeud (talk · contribs) 17:49, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Implausible misspelling. Has gained only 85 pageviews between July 2015 and March 2021, compared to 1680316 for the target.
  22. Astitene: nominated at RfD; Target: Astatine (notified); notified DudeWithAFeud (talk · contribs) 17:50, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Implausible misspelling. Has gained only 100 pageviews between July 2015 and March 2021, compared to 1680316 for the target.
  23. Pseudoscience (physics): nominated at AfD; notified 204.56.7.1 (talk · contribs) 04:34, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Article was redirected to Pseudoscience in December 2020 following discussion on the talk page, arguing that this is a redundant case study with no notability on its own — in other words, this is just the concept of pseudoscience as applied to physics. It was previously called Pseudophysics, but was unilaterally renamed in October 2020 as an apparently made-up neologism. The new title is not a plausible redirect.
  24. Category:Pseudophysics: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Pseudoscientific physics; notified Linas (talk · contribs) 04:36, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
  25. Alternative theories of quantum evolution: nominated at RM; New name: Quantum evolution (pseudoscience) 04:43, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
  26. Alternative theories of quantum evolution: nominated at AfD; notified Mchavez (talk · contribs) 04:44, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
  27. Talk:Minimal polynomial of 2cos(2pi/n): nominated at RM; New name: Real parts of roots of unity 13:14, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
  28. European Medical Command: nominated at RM; New name: Multinational Medical Coordination Centre/European Medical Command 13:40, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Moved without discussion by a user Julius503 (talk · contribs) who has made 3 other contested moves at other titles. The new title is more concise, but is it the most common name for the topic?
  29. Template:Tc:: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:Title case (notified); notified JsfasdF252 (talk · contribs) 17:37, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Potentially ambiguous abbreviation, and has a stray colon. One of many questionable pages created by this user.
  30. Template:Filename: nominated at RfD; Target: Template:Samp (notified); notified JsfasdF252 (talk · contribs) 17:38, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Confusing, since the target template does not concern Wikipedia files. One of many questionable pages created by this user.
  31. Enclosure: nominated at RM; New name: Enclosure of land 21:03, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: A simple search engine query shows that there is no primary topic for this title.
  32. Template:StarKid Productions Cast: nominated at TfD; notified Eladkse (talk · contribs) 12:09, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unused, highly specific templates.
  33. Category:Methyl indoles: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Methylindoles 16:26, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per main article Methylindole. The old title can be left as a redirect.
  34. Vinyl iodide: nominated at RfD; Target: Vinyl iodide functional group (notified); notified Awkwafaba (talk · contribs) 16:31, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is no article about the base compound. Should this redirect be deleted per WP:REDLINK, or should the target be moved over this redirect or to another title?

May 2021

  1. Category:Brindabani Sarang: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified ShubhanTelang (talk · contribs) 19:07, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
  2. Kepler-155c: nominated at AfD; notified Jtadesse (talk · contribs) 06:43, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fails WP:NASTRO, no significant coverage outside of comprehensive databases like the such as the Open Exoplanet Catalogue. One of many non-notable exoplanet articles created by Jtadesse (talk · contribs). Article deprodded by creator without improvement, who did not understand why comprhensive databases do not count toward notability per WP:ROUTINE. The host star Kepler 155 is also nominated at AfD.
  3. Kepler-1632b: nominated at AfD; notified Jtadesse (talk · contribs) 06:45, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fails WP:NASTRO, no significant coverage outside of comprehensive databases like the such as the Open Exoplanet Catalogue. One of many non-notable exoplanet articles created by Jtadesse (talk · contribs). Article deprodded by creator without improvement, who did not understand why comprhensive databases do not count toward notability per WP:ROUTINE.
  4. Kepler-533: nominated at AfD; notified Jtadesse (talk · contribs) 06:45, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fails WP:NASTRO, no significant coverage outside of comprehensive databases like the such as the Open Exoplanet Catalogue. One of many non-notable exoplanet articles created by Jtadesse (talk · contribs). Article deprodded by creator without improvement, who did not understand why comprhensive databases do not count toward notability per WP:ROUTINE.
  5. Category:Articles using template 'Track gauge' with unrecognized input: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Articles using Template:Track gauge with unrecognized input 12:36, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
  6. DACAPO: nominated at AfD; notified 80.164.200.77 (talk · contribs) 13:20, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: I'm not sure if this software is notable. The article has been an unreferenced stub since creation in 2005, there are no comments on the talk page, and the onlydefinitive secondary WP:SIGCOV result was [17].
  7. Category:Several complex variables: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Functions of several complex variables 14:53, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
  8. Category:Philosophy/Science articles needing expert attention: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Renamed user 7hq09uwypo226qfc (talk · contribs) 15:14, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
  9. Colorfulness: nominated at RM; New name: Colorfulness, chroma, and saturation 15:18, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
  10. Category:Color articles needing expert attention: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Iceblock (talk · contribs) 15:23, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: This category contained two articles, but is now empty. The tag on Colorfulness seems to be based on an issue that the lead had in 2011, which may already have been resolved. The tag on HCL color space lacked a reason or talk parameter, but has been replaced by {{Unfocused}} based on the talk page.
  11. Category:Blu-ray articles needing expert attention: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Iceblock (talk · contribs) 15:35, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Already overly specific, the tag on the sole article BD+ was removed for being unclear and likely having been resolved since its addition in 2008.
  12. Category:Bear idioms: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Metaphors referring to bears 04:13, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
  13. Category:Cat idioms: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Metaphors referring to cats 04:14, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
  14. Category:Cattle idioms: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Metaphors referring to cattle 04:15, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
  15. Category:Dog idioms: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Metaphors referring to dogs 04:15, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
  16. Category:Fish idioms: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Metaphors referring to fish 04:16, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
  17. Category:Horse idioms: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Metaphors referring to horses 04:16, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
  18. Category:Monkey idioms: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Metaphors referring to monkeys 04:17, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
  19. Category:Pig idioms: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Metaphors referring to pigs 04:18, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
  20. Category:Sheep and goat idioms: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Metaphors referring to sheep or goats 04:19, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
  21. Category:Snake idioms: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Metaphors referring to snakes 04:19, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
  22. Category:Tiger idioms: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Metaphors referring to tigers 04:20, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
  23. Category:Wolf idioms: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Metaphors referring to wolves 04:20, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
  24. Category:Group 4 silicides: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Transition metal silicides; notified Plasmic Physics (talk · contribs) 22:13, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: WP:SMALLCAT: Only 2 articles, one of which is a heavier congener of the other.
  25. Category:Never-built Disney attractions: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Unbuilt Disney attractions 02:56, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
  26. Category:Articles using template 'Track gauge' with unrecognized input: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Articles using Template:Track gauge with unrecognized input; notified DePiep (talk · contribs) 15:28, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
  27. Pseudophysics: nominated at RfD; Target: Pseudoscience (notified); notified Footlessmouse (talk · contribs) 19:51, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
  28. Category:Mythological cosmologies: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Religious cosmologies 22:26, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not distinct enough, as evidenced by their contents and especially their subcategories. Main article is titled Religious cosmology.
  29. Existential threats: nominated at RfD; Target: Global catastrophic risk (notified); notified Gwern (talk · contribs) 05:26, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
  30. List of regimes: nominated at AfD; notified Hanteng (talk · contribs) 02:36, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: I can't make any sense of this article, not least because the countries are indexed in a confusing manner; it looks like the article is poorly titled as well as it seems instead to be a list of countries by current regime — in 2008! The article is based entirely on a comparison of the Democracy-Dictatorship Index, Polity data series, and MaxRange index in 2008, already well out of date at time of creation in 2014. The two indices with their own articles already include the full list of countries there.

June 2021

  1. User talk:Aravindreddydorla: nominated at MfD; notified Aravindreddydorla (talk · contribs) 00:42, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
  2. Category:Racemate: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Racemic mixtures; notified Magnoffiq (talk · contribs) 08:31, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per would-be main article Racemic mixture. Article is also not plural.
  3. Category:Peptidase: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Proteases; notified Alexbateman (talk · contribs) 18:56, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per main article Protease, is a set category.
  4. Names of the Basque Country (in Spanish): nominated at RM; New name: Spanish names of the Basque Country 10:51, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Misuse of disambiguator.
  5. List of Calgary Transit bus routes: nominated at AfD; notified Billscottbob (talk · contribs) 14:21, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
  6. Ferrocenium: nominated at RfD; Target: Ferrocenium tetrafluoroborate (notified); notified Rifleman 82 (talk · contribs) 16:55, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
  7. Category:Zincblende crystal structure: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Materials with the sphalerite crystal stucture; notified Forbes72 (talk · contribs) 17:17, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The article about the structure and titular mineral is Sphalerite. Also, this is mainly about materials, so the title should clearly state this.
  8. Category:NaCl structure: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Materials with the halite structure; notified Forbes72 (talk · contribs) 17:20, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Should not use an abbreviation, but am uncertain whether it should instead refer to "sodium chloride", "halite", or "rock salt".
  9. Hokkaido Ainu langauge: nominated at RfD; Target: Ainu language (notified); notified Kwamikagami (talk · contribs) 23:06, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: This particular misspelling has been deleted before (1, 2).
  10. Beryllate: nominated at RfD; Target: wiktionary:Special:Search/beryllate (notified); notified Saga City (talk · contribs) 23:08, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: We are doing a disservice by directing readers to Wiktionary instead of having an article about the topic.
  11. Category:Kingdoms of old Sri Lanka: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Abhilasha Will (talk · contribs) 23:34, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
  12. Category:Sylheti dialects: nominated at CfDS (C2F); New name: Category:Sylheti language 19:38, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: One eponymous article, which is already in the larger category.
  13. Category:Sylheti writing system: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Slake000 (talk · contribs) 19:40, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
  14. Bilingual Sylheti Speakers: nominated at AfD; notified Slake000 (talk · contribs) 21:58, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
  15. Sylheti Braille: nominated at AfD; notified Slake000 (talk · contribs) 23:44, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: I PRODded this article because it was immediately obvious from search that there are no non-mirror references from anyone except the creator of this script. It was deprodded by the creator, who demanded "further review" and pulled up a reference in their edit summary ([18] from The Hindu) that does not mention the Sylheti language. That user, Slake000 (talk · contribs), has a history of problematic edits in this topic area; see ANI for details.
  16. Category:Thiometallates: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Sulfur ions; notified Benjah-bmm27 (talk · contribs) 00:57, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: I don't see any other metal sulfide anions anywhere on Wikipedia. Fails WP:SMALLCAT.
  17. Category:Boron-nitrogen compounds: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Boron–nitrogen compounds 01:02, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
  18. Bolsovirus: nominated at RfD; Target: Jair Bolsonaro (notified); notified CaradhrasAiguo (talk · contribs) 01:08, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Non-neutral term not mentioned in the target, or anywhere else. Possible attack page.
  19. Category:Sulphur mining: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Sulfur mining 06:34, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Sulfur, as well as all other non-geo-specific categories in the Category:Sulfur tree, use the IUPAC spelling.
  20. Malalasekara Dictionary: nominated at AfD; notified Abhilasha Will (talk · contribs) 19:24, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
  21. Category:Anti–death penalty laws: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Anti-death penalty laws 10:25, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
  22. Category:Anti–death penalty treaties: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Anti-death penalty treaties 10:27, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
  23. List of domes: nominated at RfD; Target: List of largest domes (notified); notified Citynoise (talk · contribs) 19:37, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

  28. Category:Canadian anti–death penalty activists: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Canadian anti–death penalty activists 20:31, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
  29. Category:French anti–death penalty activists: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:French anti-death penalty activists 20:32, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: WP:HYPHEN
  30. Category:Iranian anti–death penalty activists: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Iranian anti-death penalty activists 20:33, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
  31. Category:Japanese anti–death penalty activists: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Japanese anti-death penalty activists 20:34, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
  32. Category:Anti–death penalty organizations: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Anti-death penalty organizations 20:34, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
  33. Category:Anti–death penalty organizations in the United States: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Anti-death penalty organizations in the United States 20:35, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
  34. Category:Near-Mars objects: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified DH85868993 (talk · contribs) 20:50, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Main article Near-Mars object is proposed for deletion as a neologism not supported by the sources.
  35. Template:Naftalan: nominated at TfD; notified Carlossuarez46 (talk · contribs) 02:55, 21 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Empty navbox for a single town of about 10,000 people.
  36. File:StarComesToEarthFlamingMewni.png: (log) nominated at FfD; notified OmegaFallon (talk · contribs) 19:57, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is consensus against using a screenshot to illustrate an episode infobox unless something in the screenshot is the subject of sourced critical commentary. I.e., fails WP:NFCC#8.
  37. Abigail Cowen: nominated at RfD; Target: Fate: The Winx Saga (notified); notified AngusWOOF (talk · contribs) 06:51, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Was incorrectly CSD'd by BilCat (talk · contribs) with rationale, Subject not covered in redirected article.
  38. Absolute hot: nominated at AfD; notified Remember (talk · contribs) 20:11, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
  39. OgTs₄: nominated at AfD; notified Cyberixae (talk · contribs) 21:46, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Deprodded while providing only a primary source for this predicted compound of two elements too unstable to conduct chemical experiments.

July 2021

  1. Category:Holocaust denial in Japan: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Antisemitism in Japan; notified Paleontologist99 (talk · contribs) 21:35, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
  2. Category:Silatranes: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Atranes; notified Zakblade2000 (talk · contribs) 21:57, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
  3. Talk:Anti-schooling activism: nominated at RM; New name: Criticism of schooling 17:55, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
  4. Quantum Engineering: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Quantum engineering 19:37, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not a proper noun.
  5. Sans (character): nominated at RM; New name: Sans (Undertale) 15:59, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Fictional elements are disambiguated by work or franchise of origin.
  6. 2 1/2D: nominated at RM; New name: 2 1/2-dimensional manufacturing 04:27, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: I considered AfD, but this term seems to be in use for molding and extrusion processes. However, the title needs to clearly disambiguate from the unrelated 2.5D, which concerns video game graphics. Not sure how the fraction in the title should be represented per MOS:FRAC.
  7. List of people barred or excluded from the United States: nominated at RM; New name: List of people banned from entering the United States 21:53, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
  8. List of people declared personae non gratae in Azerbaijan: nominated at RM; New name: List of people banned from entering Azerbaijan 21:54, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
  9. Dead Ringers (comedy): nominated at RM; New name: Dead Ringers (radio and TV programme) 15:16, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: "Comedy" is not a standard disambiguator for media. If this radio and TV programme should be classified as a series, then the correct disambiguator is Dead Ringers (radio and TV series). Or should "TV" be listed first?
  10. The Girl With The Louding Voice: nominated at RM (technical); New name: The Girl with the Louding Voice 16:18, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Capitalization of prepositions
  11. File:Jeremiah Ogbodo.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Nkemonwudiwe (talk · contribs) 16:42, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
  12. Pesaha Appam: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Pesaha appam 18:59, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not a proper noun
  13. DC Admission Act: nominated at RM; New name: D.C. Admission Act 02:37, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
  14. Category:L-type supergiants: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:L-type stars; notified StringTheory11 (talk · contribs) 16:18, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
  15. Category:L-type subdwarfs: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:L-type stars; notified StringTheory11 (talk · contribs) 16:20, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
  16. Arsonic acids: nominated at RM; New name: Arsonic acid (functional group) 22:59, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
  17. Category:Arsine oxides: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Organoarsenic compounds; notified Zakblade2000 (talk · contribs) 23:01, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
  18. Biodynamic: nominated at AfD; notified Apers0n (talk · contribs) 15:09, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: 3 WP:PTM's, one of which does not even mention this word. Deprodded without explanation or improvement.
  19. Category:Teen Titans Go! (TV series): nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Teen Titans Go! 06:05, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
  20. Category:Teen Titans Go! (TV series) episode redirects to lists: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Teen Titans Go! episode redirects to lists 06:06, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
  21. Category:Teen Titans Go! (TV series) images: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Teen Titans Go! images 06:07, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
  22. Category:Romanian people convicted of the international crime of aggression: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:People convicted of the international crime of aggression; notified Good Olfactory (talk · contribs) 06:13, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, only 2 entries. Notably, the proposed merge target contains only a subcat layer by nationality.
  23. Template:Uw-islamhon1: nominated at RM; New name: Template:Uw-islamhon 17:00, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: A recent TfD voted to convert this to a single-issue warning; levels 2 and 3 now redirect to the {{uw-mos1}} series.
  24. Category:10th millennium: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Le Deluge (talk · contribs) 23:39, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
  25. Category:Television series set in the 5th millennium: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Fiction set in the 5th millennium; notified Le Deluge (talk · contribs) 23:43, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: WP:SMALLCAT, only article is Wayward Pines and I don't think there are any more TV series in the target category.
  26. Category:Arses (genus): nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Arses (bird) 05:44, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Main article moved unilaterally on March 29, per accepted naming conventions for genera.
  27. List of largest nebulae: nominated at AfD; notified Asyulus (talk · contribs) 18:30, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
  28. Category:Quantum Lattice models: nominated at CfDS (C2A); New name: Category:Quantum lattice models 06:07, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Miscapitalized.
  29. Category:Barnwal: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Raaj Tilak (talk · contribs) 19:51, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
  30. Category:Wormhole theory: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Wormholes; notified ErkDemon (talk · contribs) 06:32, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Per main article Wormhole, unsure if eligible for WP:C2D. Should the title be singular or plural?
  31. Category:Dying Earth subgenre: nominated at CfDS (C2D); New name: Category:Dying Earth genre 09:07, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
  32. The Dying of the Light (WFRP): nominated at RM; New name: The Dying of the Light (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay) 09:14, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Expand abbreviation
  33. Heisenberg model (quantum): nominated at RM; New name: Quantum Heisenberg model 09:48, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
  34. Prime decomposition (3-manifold): nominated at RM; New name: Prime decomposition of 3-manifolds 10:35, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
  35. Category:2.82812 hyperbolic volume knots and links: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Hyacinth (talk · contribs) 12:06, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: There are finitely many knots for any given hyperbolic volume, so this category possibly fails WP:SMALLCAT. This is the only category of its kind, despite the existence of a parent category.
  36. Category:Non-hyperbolic knots and links: nominated at CfD (CfD) 12:16, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
  37. File:SimpsonsCards.jpg: (log) nominated at FfD; notified Wimpyguy (talk · contribs) 06:33, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: There is no sourced commentary on the fictional film Cards in the "Mommie Beerest" article. You are welcome to improve the coverage if you wish.

August 2021

  1. Monturaqui crater: nominated at RM (technical); New name: Monturaqui 00:10, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unnecessary disambiguation, only topic with this name.
  2. Three-torus: nominated at RM; New name: 3-torus 02:22, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
  3. Generic object of dark energy: nominated at AfD; notified Drbogdan (talk · contribs) 20:35, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
  4. Category:Dark concepts: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified PlanetStar (talk · contribs) 22:39, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
  5. Category:Negative concepts: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified PlanetStar (talk · contribs) 22:57, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: This category contains some coherent clumps of related topics, such as negative number-related topics, but has largely become a WP:SHAREDNAME of various things called "negative X" — for example, Negative space is an artistic technique. About one-third of the contents are redirects that specifically contain the word (e.g. Negative proton → Antiproton).
  6. HD 24496 Ab: nominated at RfD; Target: HD 24496 (notified); notified Kepler-1229b (talk · contribs) 23:03, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Previously deleted by PROD due to lack of evidence of existence, but was then recreated as a redirect after it had been scrubbed from the host star's article.
  7. Category:Double torus knots: nominated at CfDS (C2C); New name: Category:Double torus knots and links 23:21, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
  8. Water retention on mathematical surfaces: nominated at RM; New name: Water retention on random surfaces 20:42, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The title of this article does not accurately reflect the article scope, which focuses entirely on grids with squares of varying height. After removing some WP:SPS-based magic square fancruft putting undue emphasis on a highly specific problem from a single programming contest, the only remaining content is entirely on a model consisting of a grid with squares of random height.
  9. Category:Non-habitable Mega-Earths: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Jtadesse (talk · contribs) 04:28, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
  10. Category:Disproven exoplanets: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Disproved exoplanets; notified Kepler-1229b (talk · contribs) 05:16, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
  11. Aluminium monohydroxide: nominated at RM; New name: Aluminium(I) hydroxide 23:46, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: This is the only member of Category:Hydroxides that uses a prefix in front of hydroxide, and rare oxidation state variants such as aluminium(I) oxide are typically disambiguated using stock nomenclature.
  12. Denmark at major beauty pageants: nominated at AfD; notified T4mb4y 22 (talk · contribs) 06:40, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
  13. Ror (disambiguation): nominated at RM; New name: ROR 15:37, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The majority of items on this list are acronyms, hence the title fails MOS:DABNAME. Moved unilaterally by Grant65 (talk · contribs) in December 2018.
  14. Raja Dhaj: nominated at AfD; notified Rorkadian (talk · contribs) 16:33, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: I just blanked almost the entire article because it couldn't tell fact from fiction and contained a a substantial amount of content that was about the folktale Sorath Rai Diyach instead of this ruler. Everything else was entirely based on WP:SPS. It is unclear if this is actually the same person as Rai Diyach in Sorath Rai Diyach, but I think this guy (who allegedly founded the Ror Dynasty, according to the only remaining source) fails WP:GNG.
  15. France at major beauty pageants: nominated at AfD; notified Mrdhimas (talk · contribs) 06:02, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
  16. List of premiers of British Crown Colony of Burma: nominated at RM; New name: List of premiers of the Burma Office 09:21, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The title is missing an article the, but I'm not familiar enough with this topic area to decide on what the title should be. The timeframe in this article coincides with the Burma Office.
  17. Kitty Empire: nominated at AfD; notified Lifebonzza (talk · contribs) 07:17, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
  18. Grant County (Karin Slaughter): nominated at AfD; notified WebmasterBeth (talk · contribs) 08:43, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The article has zero references and only the barest of real-world information, and is written in an entirely in-universe style, to the point that I had to move it from Grant County, Georgia. The novel series named under this title is likely notable from GScholar search, but the fictional location is not, and the article would need to be rewritten from scratch to be encyclopedic.
  19. List of Indian singers: nominated at RfD; Target: List of Indian playback singers (notified); notified 3xzafar (talk · contribs) 09:16, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Redirect is too broad in scope for the target, which is only for playback singers.
  20. Ongar, Sindh: nominated at RfD; Target: History of Sindh (notified); notified Lupin (talk · contribs) 21:01, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: No longer mentioned in article. This was an unreferenced stub that was redirected in 2012 as an unattributed copy of content added to the target, then the content at the target was removed in 2016 for the same reason.
  21. Dodo Bin Khafef Soomro III: nominated at RfD; Target: Soomra dynasty (notified); notified Wasimawan (talk · contribs) 21:51, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Redirected unilaterally to a page that no longer mentions this person, allegedly one of its rulers.
  22. Khafif: nominated at RfD; Target: Soomra dynasty (notified); notified Intothefire (talk · contribs) 21:53, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Yet another article unilaterally redirected by TrangaBellam (talk · contribs) to a target that no longer mentioned this subject, allegedly the founder of the Soomra dynasty.
  23. Category:Mechanics articles needing expert attention: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Bbanerje (talk · contribs) 12:39, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Only article has has its tag removed for being unclear, and this category does not correspond to any WikiProject.
  24. Daniel Chong (animator): nominated at RM; New name: Daniel Chong 04:49, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
  25. Intersection form (4-manifold): nominated at RM; New name: Intersection form of a 4-manifold 05:27, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
  26. Kate Ambush: nominated at RfD; Target: Clarence Thomas (notified); notified 68.165.213.66 (talk · contribs) 09:26, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Not mentioned at the target. Short-lived BLP microstub allegedly about a former wife of Thomas.
  27. Template:Lists of presidents of India: nominated at TfD; notified Ganeshk (talk · contribs) 16:58, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
  28. Societal views on patents: nominated at RM; New name: Criticism of patents 18:24, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The article focuses exclusively on one side of the debate. Also aligns with related articles such as Criticism of copyright.
  29. List of product failures: nominated at RfD; Target: Failure (notified); notified Mydogategodshat (talk · contribs) 03:15, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
  30. Category:Rail transport in fiction: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Fiction about rail transport; notified AmosWolfe (talk · contribs) 04:50, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: As with several similar categories, to ensure that entries have this subject matter as a defining trait_ which, from the titles alone, most of them do.

September 2021

  1. Phantom vehicle: nominated at AfD; notified 164.106.201.50 (talk · contribs) 02:17, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
  2. Jack Angel (SHC): nominated at RM 09:29, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: The acronym (for spontaneous human combustion) is undesirable, especially since this is an alleged SHC victim rather than an SHC, but I'm not sure what else to replace it with.
  3. Silq: nominated at AfD; notified Trinity112233 (talk · contribs) 07:14, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: New quantum programming language that likely fails WP:GNG. Based entirely on primary and PR-like sources. WP:BEFORE mostly shows the same, plus unrelated topics with the same name.
  4. Employees' Provident Fund (Sri Lanka)): nominated at RfD; Target: Employees' Provident Fund (Sri Lanka) (notified); notified Obi2canibe (talk · contribs) 21:27, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Incorrectly PRODded by Chanakal (talk · contribs) with rationale" Implausible typo. I agree, for reasons that should be obvious.

October 2021

  1. Songololo: nominated at RM; New name: Songololo, Democratic Republic of the Congo 18:35, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Most English-language search results for this name seem to be about a South African English name for millipedes, or something else entirely. The spelling variant Shongololo already redirects to Millipede.
  2. High-density: nominated at RfD; Target: Disk density (notified); notified Matthiaspaul (talk · contribs) 18:58, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
  3. Category:Celebrity doctors: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified QuackGuru (talk · contribs) 19:02, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

November 2021

  1. Hypothetical chemical compound: nominated at AfD; notified A876 (talk · contribs) 21:31, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Appears to be a dictionary definition with few sources and a good chunk of original research; not much evidence of discussion as a general, standalone topic, as opposed to methods such as the Born–Haber cycle for predicting compounds. The only sources are one about a claimed observation of ethylene dione, and a book that discusses a lot of theoretical chemistry in the context of crystallography, but also does not discuss hypothetical compounds by themselves. Not every category needs a main article.
  2. Category:Crowd crushes in 2021: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Human stampedes in 2021; notified WWGB (talk · contribs) 22:07, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Duplicate category without any parents.
  3. Category:NPOV disputes: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Wikipedia neutral point of view disputes; notified Eequor (talk · contribs) 22:21, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
  4. Template:POV check: nominated at TfD (merge); Other template: Template:POV; notified Poccil (talk · contribs) 22:55, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: We don't conventionally segregate maintenance into "this is a known or likely problem" and "we think there may be a problem, but we're not sure" because we cannot trust other Wikipedians to check the article for claimed issues. I discussed this in 2019 at Template_talk:POV_check/Archive_1#RfC:_Regarding_usefulness_and_effectiveness, and what little discussion it achieved indicated that people consider this category to be redundant. Here's an updated graph of the number of articles in the respective maintenance categories, Category:Articles needing POV-check and Category:NPOV disputes, broken down by month.
      :
      Despite being populated by other templates, it is clear that these two templates are used in essentially the same manner, and the backlog for Template:POV check is more poorly maintained, perhaps due to its relative obscurity. As per SMcCandlish (talk · contribs), "The tide has shifted [since the previous merge proposal in 2005], and [Template:POV check] no longer seems to serve a distinct purpose."
  5. List of largest megalopolises: nominated at AfD; notified RealIK17 (talk · contribs) 23:17, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
  6. Strange but true: nominated at AfD; notified Eep² (talk · contribs) 23:29, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: PRODded per WP:DICDEF, then deprodded by recently topic-banned Andrew Davidson (talk · contribs) without explanation. Just a dictionary definition without any encyclopedic information.
  7. List of Algonquin Chiefs: nominated at AfD; notified CJLippert (talk · contribs) 00:52, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Prodded by IronGargoyle (talk · contribs) with concern Almost completely unreferenced list of non-notable individuals, but deprodded without explanation by Andrew Davidson (talk · contribs). The article is grossly incomplete, the only bluelink is William Commanda, and the only source is a primary reference about one of the listed First Nations.
  8. Bill French: nominated at RM; New name: Bill French (baseball) 06:10, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
  9. Halloween solar storms, 2003: nominated at RM; New name: Halloween solar storms 07:43, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
    • Reason: Unnecessary disambiguation, possibly, but definitely matches an outdated naming convention for elections; suggest Solar storm of 2003 as an alternative.
  10. Silver oxide: nominated at RM; New name: Silver(I) oxide 08:20, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
  11. 2032 in sports: nominated at AfD; notified Mwiqdoh (talk · contribs) 08:26, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
