Jackpot World

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable mobile game. Sourcing about the game itself leans heavily to primary sources, low-quality secondary blog coverage or user-generated social media and influencer youtube videos. The more reliable coverage about SpinX and their business activities, such as from GameDeveloper, Nikkei, or Reuters, barely mentions Jackpot World. May be one to consider framing as notability for a WP:CORP and not for the game itself. I accept the game itself is quite popular but there isn't a lot of mainstream coverage on it from what I can see. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 04:47, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Netmarble. Agree with nom that Jackpot World is poorly covered in RS, failing WP:GNG. Developer is covered, although questionably well enough for an WP:NCORP pass, but in any case doesn't have an article, so redirect to parent company of developer. ~ A412 ^talk! 19:03, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A quick look shows that the Netmarble article doesn't mention SpinX, but it easily could: [1] [2] [3] [4] ~ A412 ^talk! 19:09, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mounts, Indiana

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Here again we have some citation abuse, because the "whistle stop" line doesn't come from the county history; it comes from Baker. The page in the county history doesn't mention the place at all, just the person. Meanwhile Baker, yes, promotes this to a village, and again there's just no evidence on the ground for that. It's just another isolated station, as far as I can tell. Mangoe (talk) 12:36, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wolf in sheep's clothing

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The article consists of etymology better fitting for Wiktionary, loosely thrown together trivia about literature inspired by the phrase, and uses of the phrase to describe the phenomenon of zoological mimicry, which already has its article. None of it is encyclopaedic, all of it can be (and is) better mentioned elsewhere. TryKid ^{[dubious – discuss]} 11:24, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I could be convinced to keep the article if it were retitled and trimmed down to focus on the "wolf in sheep's clothing" as a literary device, because I'm sure sources for that could be easily found (that part of the article is good).

The same reason applies as it did for Lakhan Singh (cricketer). I do not believe the subject meets the WP:GNG criteria.

Keep: Poorly sourced, yes: cleanup issue. Fails NLIST? no, meets NLIST as the topic as a set has received coverage. (Thomson, C. (2007). Estonia - Culture Smart! The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture. Kuperard. for example or Noble, J., Williams, N., Gauldie, R. (1997). Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania(Keeling): Lonely Planet, p. 147, for a start) At least a redirect and merge to Cinema of Estonia seems warranted to preserve history. The topic would seem to be perfectly encyclopaedic, though.... Mushy Yank (talk) 18:38, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
and how precisely and exactly is that list supposed to fall under NOTDIR? Mushy Yank (talk) 19:07, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Appears that the list topic has been discussed as a set in RS. That is all we need to prove WP:NLIST. Further, I don't think this list falls under any of the six criteria of WP:NOTDIRECTORY, and those saying it does haven't actually discussed or connected the list to any one of the six standards for making that judgement. It's not a convincing argument as the list has a clearly defined scope that is relevant to the Cinema of Estonia. It's not a simple listing because of the RS coverage, and given that Estonian language films get played pretty much only in theaters in Estonia and the small geographic area its reasonable to list theaters in a single page for topical reasons. It's therefore not a "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics" or a "Non-encyclopedic cross-categorization", or a "A resource for conducting business", or a "Genealogical entry", or an "Electronic program guides".4meter4 (talk) 18:33, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Battles for Gornje Kolibe

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This skirmish was a very small part of Operation Corridor 92, for which we already have a Good Article which doesn't even mention this event due to its very minor nature. The village of Gornje Kolibe is mentioned once in the second volume of the comprehensive CIA history of the 90s wars in the Balkans, "Balkan Battlegrounds", but only briefly in the context of Operation Corridor 92, and none of the detail of this fighting is even mentioned. Non-notable firefight, appears to have been created effectively as a memorial page to those who fought there. Events from 30 years ago in this war have been examined in considerable detail in academic standard publications, so I have deleted the various local/town/regional news portals, many of which are dubious and/or biased and have no real editorial process (and therefore not reliable), and what is left (cited) is pretty much nothing. One of numerous highly marginally notable articles recently created by a series of now blocked socks. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:13, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I should say that the other (none news portal) sources I removed were writings of former VRS officers, including at least two whom were directly involved in Operation Corridor 92, so hardly independent of the subject. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:29, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Darrah, California

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Mass-created article by Carlossuarez46, who created 159 articles on the same day as this one. Fails GEOLAND, no evidence that this was ever a legally-recognised populated place. GNIS is not a reliable source for a place having been populated, per WP:GNIS and the RSN discussion.

This was a declined PROD from last year with the comment "isn't a post office evidenence this was once a populated place?". To answer this, no it isn't, because especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries, post-offices could be located anywhere, particularly within stores/mines/railway stations etc. that were located outside populated communities. Opening of a post office anyway does not confer legal recognition as a populated place - for that incorporation as a town or similar is needed. In this case, based on what can be seen there now, it appears to have been a single building located at a cross roads - probably a store or way-station in which the post office was located. Of course all this assumes that the Durham reference actually says what C46 cited it as saying - they repeatedly misquoted/misrepresented it.

Looking at Internet Archive and Newspapers.com for sources about "Darrah, California" returned no relevant results. I did consider redirecting/renaming this to Darrah Park, which is now at this location, but I couldn't find any reliable sources sufficient to meet WP:GEOFEAT for Darrah Park - for example here's the internet archive search for Darrah Park and here's a search on Newspapers.com.

Delete. Non notable school that has stayed too long. It was very chaotic to find sources in my before search because there are tons of similar names and when narrowed to a geo-location it brought nothing. It fails WP:GNG. Mekomo (talk) 13:15, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep my German isn't very good, but there's references to this cave in books on a quick Google search and caves have very low notability thresholds. "These references don't feel notable to me" is a bad deletion rationale. SportingFlyer T·C 07:16, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Let me clarify that. When I did my before search, I could only find sources that resolved to one or two sources. These were fairytales form around 1850-ish. However, there wasn't coverage of the cave. It might be worth having a article on the fairytale, but the current article dosent have adequate sourcing.

Unsourced two sentence orphaned article that's been tagged for improvement for 4 years. I'm struggling to find any sources that show it meets WP:GNG, as everything either seems to be a simple "here is when the festival is" or Wikipedia mirror content.

I would support a merge into the Culture section of Khon Kaen, if I could actually find a suitable reference for it. Since I can't, I might have to lean delete for now. Procyon117 (talk) 15:16, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Twenty years later, I've added a bit more and some sources (I don't use ref tags, but feel free to convert them if you must!). For what it's worth, I think we should keep, because it's a big event and there's certainly more to add when someone with better Thai comes along some time in the next two decades. Sources regarding rural Thailand are a bit more challenging to find, but we're hopefully still trying to reduce our Anglo-Saxon bias. Henry ^Flower 19:23, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure those sources are independent enough for them to help the article meet GNG. CoconutOctopus talk 19:52, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you have sources that help this article meet the notabilitu requirements then that's fantastic, please add them. As I stated, I did search, and didn't find anything (presumably as there's not much in English about it). Please don't assume I 'didn't do research'. CoconutOctopus talk 08:09, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Passes WP:GNG. There is coverage on the festival in Gerson, Ruth (1996). Traditional festivals in Thailand. Oxford University Press. p. 72. In searching for both "Silk and Phuk Siao Festival" and the "Khon Kaen Silk Festival" the festival was covered in pretty much every published travel guide for Thailand for the past few decades. I recommend searching "Khon Kaen" "Silk Festival" because many more sources pop up that way. Thai media also covers the festival by looking in google news in Thai using: "เทศกาลไหมขอนแก่น" and "เทศกาลผ้าไหมและผูกเสี้ยว", and there also is some coverage from Thai media in English.

McGary, Indiana

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Here we have a bit of source over-interpretation, because the cited history does not say that Hugh McGary owned anything there; it merely says "of McGary's Station". And indeed, the topos go way back here, far enough to show, yes, a station with a siding, and no town. Presumably the station was named after him or a relative, but it doesn't say he owned the land that because a town, because no town seems to have happened.

Quadling Country

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article was brought to my attention after it was brought up in the Wikipedia Discord server, and I did some digging on my own, and this location doesn't seem to be independently notable of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The current article's sources are entirely plot summaries and what appears to be a self-published blog post, and a BEFORE in News, Books, and Scholar turned up nothing except TRIVIALMENTIONS, plot summary, and the text of the original work it was featured in. This article doesn't satisfy GNG given a distinct lack of SIGCOV, and should likely be redirected to Land of Oz, where the subject is mentioned several times and of which Quadling Country is apart of in-universe, as an AtD.

Redirect to Land of Oz - While there are plenty of mentions of it as part of broader discussions of Oz as a whole, I am not really seeing enough significant coverage on Quadling specifically that would really justify having a separate article. As it is discussed throughout the main article on the Land of Oz, redirecting there is a preferable WP:ATD. Rorshacma (talk) 07:04, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
