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.

is it correct to have this kind of article which is created with ai generated content plus can any admin re-check the verifiability of this article with appropriate sources and the content should be typical human generated. Is it still required to be an article as it is an office of the Deputy commissioner of Chandigarh and it is one of the union territory of the country india only . If the article actually doesn't stand for deletion then please just suppress the revision of ngdrs where that user has posted personal indian mobile numbers on the article's main page which is not the actual wikipedia policy . If the article just in case stands for deletion then delete as there are not man dc offices of india has wikipedia articles. Jack Shukla AKA TKSS & Paplesh. (talk) 16:38, 23 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Fails WP:NCORP and likely AI-generated due to numerous instances of WP:AIATTR. Sources are mainly routine coverage of product announcements, fundraising rounds, expansion news; no in-depth analysis that is expected for a company to meet NCORP. Executive interviews and pieces that report on the company's published studies also don't count towards WP:NCORP. A WP:BEFORE search turned up nothing better.

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NCREATIVE. Source 1 is non-independent (university news about university student), 2 is literally an attendance list, 3 is again non-independent, 4 is too, 5 is self-published, 6 is a routine press release, 7 and 8 are self-published work, 9 to 13 are also either non-independent or press release. Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:DIVERSE sourcing. For WP:NCREATIVE, I don't think a university prize or a scholarship count as enough for prong 4c.

I simply don't think there is enough WP:SIGCOV for this person to pass the WP:GNG. Wikipedia editors should be held to the same bar as everyone else for notability. Lack of significant in-depth coverage from reliable, secondary sources. The high likelihood the article has been AI-generated is just another nail in the coffin.

Does not appear to meet WP:GNG. Out of the 4 citations, one is a non-independent profile on UNICEF Ghana (an employer/partner), and two are LinkedIn. I found this brief article in my before, but this merely announces receipt of a student program completion award based on his own social media post. Also seeing AI signs, separate from notability. Zzz plant (talk) 14:51, 22 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Delete - The citations present don't help indicate notability -- Source 1 has "Editor's note - this story is from a conversation between Fatma Naib - Chief of Advocacy and Communication UNICEF Ghana and Michael Ackon." which makes it an interview (not independent coverage). LinkedIn is not a WP:RS, and Source 4 doesn't seem to mention him. The source found by Zzz plant is also the only one I found, and seems to be a simple and routine press release for an award. Looking at his university page, it looks like that source is the only news coverage of him. Even if you counted it, it wouldn't qualify for WP:GNG under WP:MULTSOURCES. The article also seems highly likely AI-generated (weird bolding, nonexistent categories, 10+ thousand-byte articles created 3 minutes apart etc). The author is being discussed on the AI noticeboard here. Bungle491 (talk) 22:27, 22 August 2026 (UTC)reply

No substantial coverage in reliable, independent historical sources has been identified. The article relies mainly on local sources and contains numerous unsupported historical claims. 𝔇𝔥𝔦𝔯𝔞𝔧 𝔗𝔞𝔩𝔨 09:28, 18 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Comment - dunno much about Bengali sources but I see citations from like 5-7 different news orgs on the page. Is the nom worry that none of them are reliable (they're obvs independent imo, given this is a 18th century figure)? Would nom mind explaining why they're not RSs? A GScholar query for "Devi Chadhurani" brings up mostly a Sarala Devi Chaudhurani of 1872-1945, but a query for "Devi Chadhurani" -Sarala brings up someone who seemingly sounds like this figure (cursory skim).

  • Delete as WP:LLMPROD. I was actually sceptical for a moment, thinking the first version's awkwardness seemed like a human one, but considering the principal editor's editing pattern it's pretty clear this is most likely LLM-generated. Regarding notability, it doesn't seem unlikely that this person is notable. I could only find one (offline) scholarly source with a brief search, which I'm hoping to have a look at soon, but it does seem likely that a lot more will be found by someone with India-specific expertise. In any case, though, the LLM stuff needs to go so this can hopefully be rewritten with better sources. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 22:28, 20 August 2026 (UTC)reply
    For anyone who might want to write about this, the article is: Atis Dasgupta, "Devi Chaudhurani: Glimpses from the fakir and sannyasi uprisings". Journal of the Asiatic Society, vol. 54, issue 4, Kolkata 2012, pp. 5160. The level of detail about Devi's life is less than one would hope based on the title, but it's definitely one more source towards notability. I think I'll scan the article in the near future so if anyone wants a PDF, just e-mail me. It seems the same author has also written a book titled The Fakir and Sannyasi Uprisings. I don't have easy access to it, but one could expect it would also contain relevant information, as Dasgupta has mentioned Devi as an important figure in other papers on the uprisings as well. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 19:08, 22 August 2026 (UTC)reply

LLM output reliant entirely on a student's thesis and an encyclopedia entry (unable to find specific entry, but adjacent entries aren't entirely convincing insofar as being a WP:RS).

  • Your arguments for deletion do not seem very accurate to me. Do you believe a novel praised in a letter by Sir Tom Stoppard is irrelevant? Incidentally, the letter included in the original file was removed by editors for no real reason. As for the claim that the article was AI-generated, simply run it through detection tools and you will see that it was not. Please reconsider your arguments. REVERSOR25 (talk) 14:39, 20 August 2026 (UTC)reply
    This is a very bizarre argument to make because I looked at your uploaded letter and it's obviously AI-generated. The first version you uploaded is even more obviously AI. (Besides how could Tom Stoppard have read this Portuguese novel in 1986 when the first English translation was published in 2022???) /over.throws/ 19:37, 20 August 2026 (UTC)reply
    The first one was just illustrative with Tom Stoppard's text because I hadn't managed to get the letter and only had the original text, and I wanted to illustrate the article. The second one is already the real letter, as any image detector with legitimacy can confirm; in fact, the only detector that has any legitimacy to do this is Pangram. (https://www.pangram.com/), you can check it there. And, apparently, the book was read by Stoppard in 1986. Besides, I guarantee you asked AI and it presented this discrepancy between the dates because I did it myself. The fact that the book was available in English only in 2022 doesn't mean Stoppard didn't read it in 1986, as the letter confirms. I put the letter on Pangram myself to see if it was real, and it is!REVERSOR25 (talk) 20:39, 20 August 2026 (UTC)reply
    Setting aside the possibility I'm feeding a troll at the moment (because how could Stoppard have referred to p. 193 of an edition that would not exist for 36 years), it would hardly constitute WP:RS. To return to the argument about notability: as the page stands now, one is a database entry (insignificant), and two refer to theses that treat the author's work as a whole instead of the book as its own. Pereira's paper is good, but Mendonça's treatise is too brief. I would not mind a redirect to the author, but I would not confidently argue that the existing sources are sufficient to keep the article up. /over.throws/ 20:57, 20 August 2026 (UTC)reply
    I’m not a troll. I’m a registered user with a verified email. But I didn't quite understand the point raised about page 193. If the book was released in 1984 and he read it in 1986—whether the author sent it to him or he had the original copy (after all, it seems they were friends and fellow playwrights)—where exactly is the problem? Furthermore, the major reference regarding the novel is Itaú Cultural. Itaú Cultural is Brazil's leading cultural institution, maintained by Latin America's largest bank, Itaú. That said, I don't see much point in the entry being attached to the author's page. If that’s how it has to be—without the book having its own dedicated page—then, depending on the community's decision, it might be better to just delete it. Best regards; I did my best for Wikipedia with this first article. I just hope that with the other articles I intend (or intended) to create, I won't have to go through this again, because it’s disheartening. REVERSOR25 (talk) 21:30, 20 August 2026 (UTC)reply

  • Delete. In addition to the obvious LLM problems, I can't find any evidence of coverage for WP:NBOOK. I did some web searching in English and Portuguese (assisted by machine translation) and checked Newspapers.com.

  • Keep, a company about which much has been written over the years, definitely notable for an article. Most of the current article isn't promotional, but the big exception is the "Baumatic movement". If you actually read reference 16, the one in Caliber Corner (amusingly cited as "Corner, Caliber"), you'll find it's utterly scathing, pouring scorn on a lot of the nomenclature, aims and claims, and hinting darkly that the movements might not be as in-house as we're led to believe. The problem I've got is that I don't know if Caliber Corner is anything more than an opinion hosting site with some guy's slightly poisonous blog, so I don't feel able to use it to write negative things about Baume et Mercier any more than to support positive things.

Unnecessary WP:CONTENTFORK of Origin theories of Christopher Columbus#Crypto-Judaism hypothesis. Part of the article is AI-generated with fake references (see this AINB discussion) and part of the article consists of copy-pasted text from the Origin theories article without attribution. The article is somewhat written like an essay and covers approximately the same content as the corresponding section in Origin theories, where the topic is summarized pretty competently. No discussion seems to have occurred regarding splitting the topic into its own article. I believe delete over merge would be appropriate given the close overlap in content combined with AI text remaining from earlier drafts and heavy unattributed copying in the current article. purringmaggot (talk) 19:44, 16 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Delete. In fact I think speedy deletion would arguably be justifiable, both as an unnecessary duplicate article & as inadequately reviewed AI-generated material. There is no good reason for selecting this one subtopic of Origin theories of Christopher Columbus for special treatment, that article is better written than this one, this article is to some extent written like a personal essay, including opinions and judgements, and there are problems such as hallucinated references and unattributed copying.

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
  • Keep I think the tornado satisfies WP:GNG and that the articel could be improved. There was coverage of the tornado more recently by a local news station (video is on the news station’s YouTube channel), as well as various news coverage from the 1970s in newspapers.com. Also there are government sources including the National Weather Service Aude (talk) 22:00, 16 August 2026 (UTC)reply
    The biggest problem is that AI was used to directly make this article Quincy Gordon (talk) 22:37, 19 August 2026 (UTC)reply
  • Keep Ok if you hate ai using so much then why dont you fix it? The sources are okay, the tornado is notable enough. And even if you wont, you can still contact the original maker of the article to fix it.  Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-42180-35 (talk) 10:13, 23 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Most likely an AI-generated autobiography that did not go through AfC.

Created in January 2026 as User:Bidy1975 in Diff/1333715158 with no references, multiple WP:AILIST, WP:AIBOLD and some WP:AILEGACY. Then faux-inline references were added in Diff/1334030965 and Diff/1334034383, none of which seem to establish much notability other than showing that he is on some editorial boards. One is his CV, which had already been linked previously when a bunch of external links were added. There is WP:AITREND and WP:SUPERFICIAL analysis in Diff/1334034383, and undue emphasis on importance (form of AILEGACY) in Diff/1334044275, Diff/1334044777, and Diff/1334045416. The statement in Diff/1334045841 that he received his Ph.D. ... under the supervision of ... Asim Kis is sourced to his CV and somehow fails verification, because the CV doesn't say who supervised his Ph.D. (but lists a "Visva Bharati" in parenthesis).

The user then attempted to move it directly into article space, but this was disallowed by an edit filter in AbuseLog/43230736 that prevented moving their userpage into article space. Then in August 2026, the page was then moved to Draft:Bidyut SahaDraft:Bidyut Saha in Diff/1368447618 (after being again prevented in AbuseLog/44836664 from moving it directly to article space). From there the page was then unilaterally moved to article space in Diff/1369493188 without being submitted to AfC first. gurkubondinn 15:19, 16 August 2026 (UTC)reply

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.

Lacks inline sources, and seems to claim that he begin to work as a bandeoneonist freelancer at the age of eight. The sourcing that is there seems thin.

The article has been a recent target for LLM edits from a TA (that have all been reverted, but that is how I found this article). gurkubondinn 15:13, 11 August 2026 (UTC)reply

Thanks for that. When I first read the article, the peacock prose (and the eight-year-old freelancing) made it hard to assess notability. I've now been through all the external links and written them up on the article's Talk page. Several of them are reliable sources, but only one meets all of significant coverage, not an interview, and an RS. I'm still on the fence as haven't done any searching outside the article yet. I'll come back when I have, unless other editors have reached a consensus by then. Tacyarg (talk) 17:20, 11 August 2026 (UTC)reply
Just let me know. My concern isn't to keep an article about this person out of the encyclopaedia, I just didn't think that the specific article that I saw should be in the encyclopaedia. If you're satisfied with it after your work, then I think that it should stay. Just ping me here (so I'll get a notification) or write on my talk, and I'll pull this AfD if you have an article you think should stay. gurkubondinn 19:59, 11 August 2026 (UTC)reply
