Chatbots (and the large language models that power them) have become very popular; they can often output material much faster than humans can. Unfortunately, they cannot write as well as humans (yet), and their output is prone to hallucinations, false citations, and other errors. This has created a major cleanup burden at Wikipedia, as many editors (especially new ones) try their hand at using artificial intelligence to edit Wikipedia. You can help by identifying AI-written text, removing unsourced or inaccurate claims, and by identifying AI-generated images. For more information, see our AI Cleanup Guide.

No evidence of notability for this water polo referee. The only pieces of independent coverage are quick three- or four-sentence blurbs like 1, 2, and 3, which consist of routine coverage, failing WP:GNG and WP:SPORTBASIC.

I've removed most of this article as part of the presumptive removal of LLM-generated content of the recent edits made by Giovanni Messe aka Archivio Italia (see AI cleanup investigation), who in the meanwhile has been blocked. What it's left are the parts that in the meanwhile have been partially reworded by other users (but please note that according to "who wrote that" the parts written by original author still account for 79% of the article). Now, some of the surviving parts are simply a rewording from Roman Republic (1849–1850). These parts are the less problematic, but obviously it wouldn't make sense to have an article made only of a copy of parts of another article. Unfortunately the other parts that are still there (in particular the paragraph "Initial assualts on Rome") seem to have been written through LLMs and the users who modified them have apparently only fixed the style but not the substance. For example, if I take the note number 15, I should find a page about Garibaldi's defence of Rome against Oudinot. But if I take a look at the indicated book and I go to page 227 (as written in the note), then I find a totally different topic (Garibaldi in the assembly of the Republic). The topic of the article is obviously notable, but I think that it'd be quicker to blow it up and start over, rather than checking the unreviewed (or at the very least unsufficiently reviewed) outcome of an LLM --Friniate 15:37, 28 August 2026 (UTC)reply

This BLP does not seem to meet WP:GNG. Two of the sources are about the same hotel detaining incident, where he gets a single sentence identifying him as one of several journalists who had their equipment confiscated. The third source just indicates that he was detained again after the hotel incident and then released. There is very little that can be verified about him besides the fact that he is a journalist involved in this one event in December 2019. I could not turn up any significant coverage in my before. He is not mentioned elsewhere on Wikipedia; I do not see a suitable merge or redirect target. Article also appears to be AI-generated. Zzz plant (talk) 13:24, 28 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Sourcing is too weak for a WP:BLP that has substantial potentially-contentious material. I removed some potentially-contentious material cited to weak sources (see page history), but the rest is still mainly based on brief mentions and TV show interviews. I don't think it adds up to WP:NBASIC.

Note that nearly all of the substantial contributions to this article have been made by temporary accounts that are focused on this subject (Wikipedia:Single-purpose account). Dreamyshade (talk) 04:24, 26 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Reverted incontrovertibly AI-generated changes from a major contributor to the article in Diff/1371631856 (AbuseLog/44977082), the same user that created the article in 2017. I suspect that AI use goes back further than the revision that I reverted to.

The company is described as [enabling] businesses and organization of all sizes to use the latest innovations in Human Language Technology and Conversational AI, ..., but the recent changes (in revision 1371634305) described the company as a software company that ... provides a resident communication and engagement platform for affordable housing, public housing authorities, and senior living communities. Both versions sound like vague corporate AI descriptions, but they also sound like they are describing different companies.

The sources in the article are either primary sources (the company's own website, inaccessible for me but is saved on archive.org) or Voicebot.ai (which seems to largely be an WP:RSML source). I have not found any WP:INDEPENDENT news coverage showing WP:SIGCOV.

The page was first created as Witlingo Inc.Witlingo Inc., and was speedily deleted under G11 in 2017 (probably created by the same user, going by their talk page, but I did not see it in the page logs). gurkubondinn 15:29, 27 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Does not pass WP:GNG. They do not inherit the notability of the books they've published; all sourcing in the article is either primary, about books they've published with no commentary on the company, or about things that their books are about and does not mention them at all.

This whole article feels LLM generated and I don't think the subject is notable. The sources talk about things that are related to this, but not precisely *this* subject. It's also more of an essay. Don't think it is in scope for Wikipedia. PhotographyEdits (talk) 20:41, 25 August 2026 (UTC)reply

The drone currently has no reported operational history, only talks about intended deployment. Wikipedia is not a collection of presumption WP:CRYSTALBALL. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPRODUCT. Delete or either merge with HESA Shahed 136. Charlie (talk) 12:49, 25 August 2026 (UTC)reply

(Maybe you lack the expertise of this subject, so appearances can be misleading, because KAL has a delta or flying-wing configuration, making comparisons to the Shahed-136 understandable, but similar aerodynamics don’t prove the design, software, propulsion, guidance, or manufacturing process was copied, I hope you understand!)


Also WP:DILIGENCE is not a tool which generates suggestions, maybe you didn't check manually, however there are enough independent, reliable sources about this drone variant to meet WP:GNG, and i will do add more reliable sources in the article, also provide a source analysis.

Source 1 is the original source behind the March 2026 churnalism, while Sources 2 and 3 (SOURCE 10 in the table) are part of the August 2026 churnalism. Please check the revised source analysis below. Charlie (talk) 17:08, 26 August 2026 (UTC)reply

These ten articles/sources shared by the Sokoreq are definitely not ten independent sources as they claim. Per WP:CHURNDET, identical spec blocks, target lists, and quotes by company executives across multiple media outlets in extremely close timeframe mean none of these articles independently establish KAL. Charlie (talk) 16:58, 26 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Charlie, first WP:CHURNDET is an essay, not a policy or guideline, and identical facts aren't automatically evidence of churnalism iff KAL has stated their range of 1000 km, multiple journalists can independently report 1000 km, and even mere presence of identical specifications, or company quotations does not by itself establish churnalism, and yes the essay (CHURNDET) itself says "journalists routinely quote company representatives."

I do agree that sources 9 and 10 may be derive from the same company public announcement and should not be treated as two independent sources for the same factual claims, still, that does not establish that Sources 1 to 8 are likewise worthless, and please don't take all burden of this discussion on yourselves, Let others contribute to this discussion.

Source assessment table prepared by User:CharlieMehta
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
No Not independent. Rewrites an IG Defence announcement; facts and quotes are from founder Bodhisattwa Sanghapriya and company VP Maj Gen R. C. Padhi (retd). No MoD, service, or third-party verification. Same packaged language as the 6 Mar Hindu Business Line article that openly cites “a statement.” Per WP:CHURN / WP:CHURNDET and WP:INDEPENDENT. ~ Business Standard is generally reliable, but this piece is uncritical churnalism of vendor claims (range, endurance, “define future warfare”). Reliable for “the company said,” not for the capability itself (WP:RSCONTEXT). Yes KAL is the sole subject, but the depth is a recycled brief, not independent analysis. No
No Not independent. Near-verbatim reuse of the same IG Defence brief as SOURCE 1: Shahed frame, 1,000 km / 3–5 hour specs, target list, and the Padhi “home-grown capability” / Atmanirbhar Bharat quotes. ~ India Today is generally reliable. This article adds no independent reporting or fact-check of the claimed performance. Yes Directly about Project KAL, but an another version of the company handout rather than original coverage. No
No Not independent. Repeats the same Padhi quote already published in SOURCE 1/SOURCE 2. Company backgrounder material (founders, retired officers, planned plants). Sloppy mixing of KAL and Sheshnag specs shows processing of packaged copy, not reporting. ~ The Times of India is usable with caution. This article is a rewrite of vendor talking points, not a checked technical report. ~ Names KAL and some claimed specs, but splits attention with Sheshnag-150 and does not go beyond the press line. No
~ Broader round-up of Indian one-way-attack programmes and the Iran/Shahed news peg. The KAL sentences still repeat the unverified 1,000 km / 3–5 hour company line; no independent confirmation of KAL. Yes India Today is an established publication. Context on other systems is stronger than the KAL paragraph. ~ KAL is one programme among several (Sheshnag, Nagastra, SkyStriker). Passing-to-moderate mention, not in-depth independent coverage of KAL. ~ Maybe
~ Closest to real journalism in this set: Covers Op Sindoor, Electronic warfare, Rajnath Singh, multiple firms. The KAL block is still an interview with the IG Defence CEO selling swarm numbers and “what comes after Shahed.” Independent of the company for the industry frame; not independent for KAL’s claimed performance. Yes Magazine feature in a generally reliable outlet, with named officials and a wider reporting base than the March briefs. ~ Discusses KAL as one part of a national drone ecosystem, not a dedicated independent treatment of the platform. ~ Maybe
No Event write-up of IG Defence’s stall at North Tech Symposium. Specs (1,000 km, 7–8 hours, 200 kg, 50 kg warhead, cameras, SATCOM, RATO) and JWALA data are company-supplied. COAS “appreciated” a display is not independent evaluation. ~ Generally reliable paper publishing an uncritical spec sheet. Endurance quietly changes from 3–5 hours (March) to 7–8 hours with no reported test to explain it. Yes Substantial product copy on KAL, sourced to the manufacturer. No
No Corporate pipeline story built on CEO quotes: ₹10,000 crore by FY30, “only domestic player” over 1,000 km, export talks, 100,000-drone target. WP:PRIMARY, WP:PROMO. ~ Usable for “IG Defence claims a pipeline,” not for treating those claims as established fact. ~ KAL is a supporting example in a company-growth article, not the primary subject. No
No Founder profile / access interview with Sanghapriya. Origin story, funding, growth percentages, and portfolio claims come from the company. Not independent of the subject. ~ Outlook Business is a mainstream magazine; this piece is hagiographic startup coverage, not a check of KAL. ~ Feature on IG Defence; KAL is mentioned inside the portfolio, not examined in depth. No
No States that “the company said in a statement Wednesday.” CEO quote matches the IG Defence press release republished the same day (e.g. IDRW, labelled “Company Press Release” ... not able to add this link in the table as it is blacklisted across wikipedia). Officials told ThePrint it is “fully developed and tested”... still the seller. ~ ThePrint is generally reliable. This item is a same-day press-release story with light extra context (other Indian Shahed-class efforts). Yes Focused on KAL export talks, but those talks are asserted only by IG Defence. No
No Same-day rewrite of the same export press release as SOURCE 9. Same specs and Sanghapriya quotes (“milestone,” “trusted partner,” “export powerhouse”). ~ The Week is an established magazine; this article does not independently verify range, lethality, testing, or Gulf negotiations. Yes KAL-focused, but the substance is the company’s media handout. No

  • Keep. He's mentioned briefly in reliable sources such as Encyclopædia Iranica () and here and there in different Google Books, so he's not an AI hallucination. As for the sig coverege, there's a lot about him in a book "The Art of Eastern India, 300-800" (; I've counted 41 mentions without the endnotes) by an art historian.

    Iranica: Ādityasena, a king of the Later Gupta, performed the aśvamedha. You want to have article on the basis of these 2 lines? WP:GNG is no joke. If there's no AI hallucinations then find me his mentions on cited pp. 119-120. The source you have cited does not yield a total coverage of even half a page of his 33 mentions.

Likely written using AI, as emotionally charged language and gross issues with sourcing are present Quincy Gordon (talk) 16:02, 16 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Comment From what I can tell this doesn't look to be fully AI. It's very focused on explaining the event just as it happened, it doesn't expound enough; plus there's too much redundancy in vocabulary. It's not inconceivable that AI was used for research or parts of the text, but it seems more like a person either connected to the event or someone with less than stellar writing abilities vis−á–vis site policy, and somewhat emotionally-invested in the events they're writing about.
I'm not active enough WP:WikiProject Weather to say with confidence what should be done here, but I'd think given the two AP sources already present, plus multiple this WP:100WORDS segment from 5 News showing sustained coverage and this government profile that provides another 100 words qualifying source. With that in mind, guidelines state that unless there are serious, overriding deficiencies present, it should be WP:PRESERVED in some capacity. Once you've got WP:GNG it's kind of hard to justify removal when really you just need to improve the junk.

It still used AI therefore it should be deleted Quincy Gordon (talk) 22:36, 19 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Relisting comment: Before I could close this, I'd need more clarification of the sourcing issues and whether the AI use has hallucinated references. Otherwise, couldn't this be fix by stubbing and redeveloping the article?

Wholly AI generated, see also this comment for explanation. msk 22:27, 7 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Blogs such as BJJ Heroes are absolutely prohibited on BLPs. Your LLM forgot to mention that key policy.
Sherdog can only be used--with caution--for basic info on fighters, e.g. database-type stats, it is certainly not at the high quality we require for BLPs.
MMA Planet is a pure Q&A interview, zero independent secondary coverage.
Bout Review has a few sentences of secondary coverage but is almost entirely blow-by-blow primary match coverage.
MMA Weekly is another interview with little secondary independent coverage.
Grappling Insider is clearly not RS.
ESPN is casual listicle-style hype promoting upcoming bouts broadcast by ESPN, not independent or SIGCOV.
FloGrappling is a routine bout recap and doesn't seem to have published editorial standards.
Fox is routine event hype with barely 2 sentences of actual coverage. JoelleJay (talk) 17:10, 11 August 2026 (UTC)reply
I find it hilarious that the LLM knows that the deletion rationale is for LLM use, and yet because it can't deny not being an AI it just pretends the deletion rationale is for something entirely different. msk 21:50, 11 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Keep - Is it in fact AI-generated? I don't think so - it doesn't seem to have many of the cues typical and LLM checkers say it isn't. Jishara (please ping upon response) (talk) 15:47, 22 August 2026 (UTC)reply
@Jishara: given Shibaking's comment above, I am pretty confident that the draft is, in fact, AI generated. Newer versions of Claude lack many of the obvious AI signs, however they still have their idiosyncrasies in referencing and formatting style, and I think that is the case here. msk 04:59, 23 August 2026 (UTC)reply
I've definitely seen articles where the creator comments in AfD with AI but the article is 100% not ai generated - so I really don't think the creator's comments at AFD are proof or even evidence one way or another. As for the points listed in the original comment:
Large portions of the article are just original analyses of Sherdog data - yes, that's WP:OR. That isn't, however, strong AI usage evidence - countless articles are filled with OR without ever having been touched by AI
Uses nonexistent residence param in infobox - I'm looking at the infobox right now and I don't see a param like that there at all
AI-style named refs - ?? that one's just so vague I have no idea what you mean
It was created on mobile editor - If it's an official wikipedia editor tool (sounds like it, though I've never heard of it) it doesn't make sense to say that creating using it makes it more likely to be AI
It was created with a nonexistent category - if you're creating articles with the categories at time of creation, i'd expect that there's a reasonable chance to have nonexistent categories until you push it out there and see whether they actually exist - i know that I didn't know how to see categories in a draft for ages upon ages.
With this level of proficiency in wikitext I would expect them to know not to cite a a blog - wikitext is very similar to a lot of other forum text styles, and learning WP:RSP usually takes longer.
