This streamer does not seem to meet WP:GNG or WP:ENT. The Siliconera sources are WP:ROUTINE, trivial, and based off of primary sources. The Japan Times and Polygon sources are based off of tweets and leverage notability from a corporate controversy. Doing a WP:BEFORE search brings up nothing else of use.

Motivation and employee engagement

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

This article functions mostly as a cross between a lower quality version of Employee motivation and a dump of summaries of studies. I don't see how having the page is useful when Employee motivation and Work motivation both exist. Hihyphilia (talk) 02:17, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: User:Hihyphilia, I see you are a relatively new editor. Did you conduct a WP:BEFORE before nominating this article? Did you assess the sources? Do you have a policy-based reason for arguing for deletion?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:30, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was reassessing the sources and realized that the current page is a structured like a modified version of one of the sources (The thesis by Bergström, Emma; Garcia Martinez, Melanie (2016), cited 19 times). While I don't think the similarity is close enough to be a copyright violation, it is kinda sorta plagiarism? Quite a few of the sources seem more like someone picking sources that kinda look right from a google search, and don't support the text. I would need to visit a university library to 100% confirm they're bad though. Hihyphilia (talk) 02:53, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional biography of a businessman with no WP:SIGCOV in independent, reliable sources. While many references in the article have broken due to formatting errors, I tracked them down and found nothing to support WP:GNG or WP:NBIO -- it's a series of WP:TRIVIALMENTIONS, mentions in WP:TRADES publications and a couple profiles in non-independent sources.

No Commercial Airport at Whenuapai Airbase Party

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

Political party that existed for less than a year and advocated for a single issue. Only limited coverage, and it all appears to be from 2008, except for a single article about "the stranger parties of NZ's past and present" from 2018. This seems similar to how political candidates may receive limited coverage during an elecetion but are not considered notable. The article creator has reverted an attempt to redirect this page to Whenuapai#Reverting to Military Aerodrome and recent developments. – notwally (talk) 01:00, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List_of_political_parties_in_New_Zealand#Parties_that_never_held_seats - basically one guy who got fewer than 300 votes the one time he stood for election. it is an idiosyncrasy of NZ politics that anyone who can scrape up a deposit can say they are a party even if their unregistered "party" is basically a laptop and a printer. Daveosaurus (talk) 03:25, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of political parties. I feel the inclusion anywhere else would be undue given how little there is about it. Whilst the Whenuapai air base has been a recurring topic in NZ politics, this party had no impact on it and there is an IP edit that suggests the founder of the party (and it's only member) doesn't want to be associated with it anymore. Traumnovelle (talk) 04:39, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Daveosaurus and Traumnovelle, I notice the section on that list specifically notes that it should be for notable parties. I would expect a non-notable party be ineligible for inclusion? Alpha3031 (t • c) 08:01, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't notice that. Many of those parties listed are not notable by Wikipedia's standards. If there is no suitable place to redirect/mention it at then deletion would be best. Traumnovelle (talk) 08:51, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NCAaWAP seems notable enough for a list of unsuccessful parties, particularly since they've been outrageously successful in preventing that airport being built! If consensus firms around the parties list, then I'll change my proposed redirect target. Oblivy (talk) 12:22, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article is jocular about it. The party itself really had no impact. The commercial airport at Whenuapai has always been a terrible proposal unlikely to go through (estimated to cost around a billion just to move the military operations and other reasons relating to national defence that I can't mention on Wikipedia). Traumnovelle (talk) 21:25, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for my attempt at jocularity. I'm happy to follow the consensus on redirect target, waiting to see if any other views emerge Oblivy (talk) 23:51, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this is such a nothingburger I really don't think it even qualifies for merging. Maybe a merge to the single-issue politics page as per previous comment could make sense, but this is such a tiny thing I think it would be undue there. David Palmer//cloventt ^(talk) 20:37, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Single person single issue party. Was never registered to contest elections and only the founder contested a seat under that tikcet (without success). Ajf773 (talk) 09:43, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not even notable enough to go on a list of failed parties - given that it was never actually a registered party, just a name the one dude gave himself to look better on a ballot form. Absurdum4242 (talk) 01:54, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unimproved

Unimproved → Road surface (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Unimproved road redirects to Dirt road. That said, there are other topics like Unimproved water source or Unimproved sanitation using this word. 1234qwer 1234qwer 4 01:33, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as very vague. I can imagine how this might have been created instead of a piped link. I don't think "unimproved" alone is a useful search term, but I wouldn't be overly opposed to some kind of disambiguation. A7V2 (talk) 06:29, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Isometry (mathematics)

Isometry (mathematics) → Isometry (disambiguation) (talk · links · history · stats) [ Closure: keep/retarget/delete ]

Since the primary topic Isometry is already a mathematical topic, I don't think this should be a redirect to the disambiguation page (which also seems to consist of a lot of WP:PTMs). (Note that there is also Isometry (mathematics) (disambiguation); not sure how much precedent there is for such redirects.) 1234qwer 1234qwer 4 00:03, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does Isometry cover all of the topics on the disambiguation page? If so, I would agree that there is no need for the latter. I am not fluent enough in mathematics to say whether it is. BD2412 T 00:08, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Gospel of Matthew Chapters

Template:Gospel of Matthew Chapters (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Nominated for deletion by Gonnym at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 August 28#Template:Matthew 16 because it is redundant to the chapter links on Template:Gospel of Matthew (which is also on all these pages) and is in a less desirable format. I agree; there are too many nav templates for these articles. -- Beland (talk) 03:04, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Epistle to the Galatians

Template:Epistle to the Galatians (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Most of the links of these template were removed because they were either not really appropriate or because articles got merged. The remaining articles linked from this template are linked from the text in the right places. Given that there are only four and they are somewhat random, I think this template is no longer needed. The articles linked to from here already prominently link back to Epistle to the Galatians. -- Beland (talk) 02:56, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. The removals were recent and undiscussed and have since been reverted. Useful template. St Anselm (talk) 03:25, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
