Scholarly articles

[edit]
Latest comment: 20 days ago7 comments4 people in discussion

There is very little abstract encyclopedic content that can come out of a page about a specific, non-notable scholarly article. JJPMaster (she/they) 19:07, 18 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

We currently don't have a community-ratified definition of notability. I've tried to kick off this discussion here. For now, I ask that stewards/global sysops wait until we come to a consensus on a policy. Feeglgeef (talk) 19:10, 18 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
@JJPMaster: very interesting request. I'm not entirely sure... I would tend to agree for these papers but not all of them (Attention Is All You Need (Q30249683) exists on 16 Wikipedias for instance), so where to put the threshold between notable and non-notable? on which criteria? Anyway, I agree to wait until the community reach a consensus on what is notable on AW. Also, I'm pinging @Immanuelle: who created these articles. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 14:13, 30 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Feeglgeef: the notability discussion does seems to be moving, meanwhile it's seems more and more obvious that these page are not good (see the deletion request below too). Should we still wait? I don't think so anymore. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 08:36, 19 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Sure, sounds good. Feeglgeef (talk) 23:44, 19 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Q6489603

See Talk:Q6489603. This does not work as a category, it is more an article about a category. --Ameisenigel (talk) 08:34, 31 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Under my proposed notability guideline, this would not be notable, so I Support Support deletion Feeglgeef (talk) 17:30, 31 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Ameisenigel @Feeglgeef Although the page has been deleted, I believe that the vague wording related to categories (and templates) should be clarified. Please review and improve the deletion policy to help current and future contributors better understand how categories are handled.

auto-created broken articles

I suggest we do a bit of a cleanup of pages that were created by a software tool, using immature functions that have been deprecated for months, that would be very annoying to clean up by hand. So I propose deletion of the following (feel free to add to this list anything that matches this description). No prejudice to re-creation if anyone wants to make them good. --99of9 (talk) 07:20, 15 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

I thout the same, or even more: I would like to discuss if it is best to delete outdated articles. There is a lot of discussion and critique about a lot of those articles. I think in particular to articles created by @Immanuelle, that are not edited afterwards by somebody else. Those articles were a) created in mass and b) most of them with outdated functions. PS: I value the attempt of use:Immanuelle and hope to see him/her to continue on this project, now or later. HenkvD (talk) 07:44, 15 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Ping User:Immanuelle. Do you mind if we heavily clean up some of your contributions? --99of9 (talk) 08:25, 15 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

BERJAYA Done the original set. --99of9 (talk) 12:11, 26 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Articles created by User:Immanuelle and not edited after creation. I would like to propose to delete these (if not already mentioned above):
HenkvD (talk) 10:18, 18 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Some are okay. I clicked on two, and IMO both should be kept: Q188 German, Q3503 Congo (River). So I think we need to go through them not just mass delete. --99of9 (talk) 11:13, 18 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Those 2 are only one sentence, are using a conversion from string or monolingual text to HTML and are therefor not good to be used as example. I think it is better to delete them. HenkvD (talk) 15:15, 18 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
I'd be happy to hear other opinions on this kind of short stub with older functions. For now I'll concentrate on deleting those that don't even meet that level of viability. --99of9 (talk) 03:07, 27 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Unless if they are update and improve very soon, I also think it's better to delete them quickly (obviously with no prejudice to recreation): they don't bring anything and they give a very unfaithful representation of what AW is (especially now with the RFC or the Wikimania, where many people were telling me things along the line of "oh so it's a tool to make one or two - bad - sentences"...). Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 09:06, 27 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
I marked the articles that have been update recently, so they slould not be deleted as part of this request. HenkvD (talk) 09:40, 27 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
There are also some lists articles that have been edited twice:

Q5056 is an article made using a QID used exclusively for templates. I cannot connect it to Wikidata because that would involve delinking Template:Support, which is what this QID is meant for. I don't know if it's possible to also just make it impossible to make articles for things like this but that'd be helpful. Feedmepaperr (talk) 13:07, 2 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
