A 17th century Slovenian mayor is hardly notable enough to keep a page here. Although he was mayor of Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, which could be grounds for some notability, no sources exist which make significant mention of his life or do anything more substantial than say his name.

Here are all existing sources I could find about him:

  • [1] (which apparently consists of articles from Wikipedia according to this site here)
  • [2] (only mentions him once)

The only page on Wikipedia that even makes mention of him is List of mayors of Ljubljana. If it weren't for similarly useless pages about mayors from Ljubljana's history whose pages should be deleted alongside this one, this page would be an Orphan.

  • Comment. Slovenia was not an independent country at the time and Ljubljana not a capital. This weakens the case for NPOL. The first source mentioned above is very obviously a Wikipedia collection. Several other mayor articles are in the same dire state, including Horacij Carminelli and other successors. Many of these only duplicate List of mayors of Ljubljana and can be redirected there. In that list, a few other details such as birth and death year can also be added whereever known.

The SAF was a splinter of the SAC which existed for 10 years, between 1928 and 1938, before merging back into the SAC. As far as I can tell from sources, it didn't do much other than criticise the SAC for certain tendencies it disliked. It has very little significant coverage in reliable sources. The cited SelfEd chapter (not what I would call a reliable source) gives it two paragraphs of attention.[3] Gabriel Kuhn's history of the SAC only devotes it a single paragraph.[4] This is the extent of coverage I have found in sources; no more. In both cases, it is only mentioned in the wider context of the SAC, not as an independently notable organisation.

As this article is unlikely to grow much larger than the stub it has existed as since 2008, I don't think this organisation is notable enough to merit its own article. If it needs to be discussed, we could very well give it a mention in the main article about the SAC. Grnrchst (talk) 10:39, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

  • Note: Soman has just rewritten the article using a source I hadn't found, removing the previously-cited SelfEd source. Lennart Persson wrote 4 paragraphs about the SAF, which are more or less what you can see paraphrased in the article now. While I appreciate the attempt to rectify this, I'm still left thinking that this organisation isn't independently notable of the SAC and information about it could easily be merged into that article (albeit in summary style). --Grnrchst (talk) 12:46, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG. This is a complementary list to an article that was redirected in 2018 for having no sources. Looking at the article, it consisted of original research and synthesis, and should probably have been deleted rather than redirected to Ariosophy, which it says constitutes one part of its subject.

There is no useful definition of what to include in the glossary; it says the list "should also not include terms not specific to German mysticism", but most of the entries are about runes or from medieval and early modern Icelandic culture. If we remove those entries, what we are left with are two entries from Ariosophy (Armanen runes and Armanen), one from a 1990s novel (Black Sun), one from 19th-century vitalism (Odic force), one from Nazi esotericism (Esoteric insignia of the Schutzstaffel), an academic field (Runology) and an outdated philological theory (Uthark theory). Rather than a defined subject, it comes off as a list of someone's personal interests at a particular point in time. Ffranc (talk) 09:09, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

The article has numerable issues, it relies on questionable sources, and as well as contains original research. But most of all, it seems to be a WP:POVFORK of Human rights abuses in Balochistan. It doesn’t have a really good verifiability argument. Any content that is reliable should be moved to the Human rights abuse page, as this page is better established and has more to say. This page just seems extremely unnecessary. VirtualVagabond (talk) 05:45, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete: Not a single source refers to a "genocide" and barely any scholarly sources, usually news sites being used for making exceptional claims and commentaries which would need further review. WP:TNT applies. Would also support merging anything reliable to the Humans rights abuses in Balochistan page, which this article is a content fork of for which the reliability of content is to be first established per consensus.

No source above deals with the topic "genocide" which this article is titled. The content here are mostly compilations from other pages such as Human rights abuses in Balochistan. Even the sources you've listed above do not have WP:SIGCOV of the topic and relevant content already exists at many related pages like Insurgency in Balochistan, First Balochistan conflict, Second Balochistan conflict, Baloch nationalism and the Humans rights abuses page etc, to which more of this can be added. The topic of this article simply fails WP:GNG for it to have a standalone article. Axedd (talk) 20:34, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
  1. Grodsky, Brian (2012). "When two ambiguities collide: the use of genocide in self-determination drives". Journal of Genocide Research. 14 (1). - also details the Balochi Provincial Assembly's accusation against the Pakistani central government in 2006 of genocide against the Baloch people in 2006.
In previous example sources they discuss the claim of genocide, or state the reporting of a genocide against the Baloch people. And again, these examples are from a very short cursory search. -- Cdjp1 (talk) 21:17, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

The term is indeed used in India. However, I don't think it has scope beyond a definition. It can be easily integrated in Fake news in India#Modes of distribution (WP:CFORK). Although start-class, it pretty much looks like a future repository for dumping all fake news spread on WhatsApp. For serious cases, there is already Indian WhatsApp lynchings.

  • Redirect per WP:NEO. The topic is better covered in Fake news in India#Modes of distribution, and the term is not separately notable. Many of the sources here just contain uses of the term but actually cover the topic (and not the term). Maybe merge a brief mention of the definition in the NDTV article. hinnk (talk) 04:03, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
    Based on the references added, keeping my !vote as is. These links [5][6][7][8] were added to support discussion of a Kerala High Court case. None of these mention the case at all, and none discuss WhatsApp University beyond using the phrase in a headline (two are political cartoons). The statement that "The phrase has…been a subject of stand-up comics" is referenced to a short review of a single comedian, where the topic is recapped very briefly. To Grabup's question below, the existing coverage isn't significant, and we're seeing how trying to present it as such means misleading readers. hinnk (talk) 05:38, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

  • Keep: Enough sources are cited to establish the subject's notability. In my opinion, if there can be a standalone article with sufficient coverage, what is the reason to redirect? GrabUp - Talk 03:28, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep for now. Sufficient sources have been added to make a reasonable case for inclusion. I am somewhat dubious that this will develop into a full article, so a merge could make more sense down the road. We can cross that bridge when we get there.--Mojo Hand (talk) 14:39, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

  • Here's a stab at a source table. The strongest candidates appear to be a short article in the Navbharat Times, an opinion piece in The Hindu, and an in-depth blog post of questionable reliability. That last one is really a stretch, and I think we'd be hard-pressed to hit WP:3REFS. Even more so to get something large enough that it'd merit being split off from Fake news in India. hinnk (talk) 02:24, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
