October 2021

 * Let's Go Brandon: nominated at AfD; notified 15:28, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This recent slogan is related to the "Fuck Joe Biden" chant previously discussed at an AfD that closed on September 27, 2021. Notability does not appear to be supported at this time, due to insufficient support for the historic or lasting importance of this recent slogan per WP:EVENTCRIT by independent and reliable sources.

February 2023

 * Normandale Park shooting: nominated at AfD; notified 04:31, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: WP:EVENT notability does not appear supported. There was an initial burst of national coverage (and The Guardian) in February 2022, but this has not developed into a high-profile WP:NCRIME, and there appears to be no effect with a significant or widespread impact supported by in-depth coverage. There also appears to have been some sensational coverage, and there are WP:BLPCRIME issues that even if resolved, do not seem to add support for notability due to the local coverage of a low-profile criminal case.
 * Tennessee police sex scandal: nominated at AfD; notified 17:12, 2 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Wikipedia is WP:NOTSCANDAL and WP:NOTNEWS. Per the WP:EVENT guideline, notability for this event is not supported by the sensational coverage. Per WP:EVENTCRIT, there appears to be no in-depth support for an effect and significant or widespread impact to support notability. There are also WP:BLP policy issues, including WP:BLPCRIME, that appear to add further support for deletion.

August 2023

 * James Bowie (lawyer): nominated at AfD; notified 00:34, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Reasons for deletion include an apparent breach of the biographies of living persons policy, and because this article appears to be contrary to the What Wikipedia is not policy that discourages scandal mongering, so should also be excluded according to the second prong of the notability guideline.This article was created on 22 December 2022, after the subject began to receive Ottawa-based coverage related to a variety of serious misconduct allegations, including allegations described in an article source headline in terms that can be commonly understood as allegations of criminal conduct. An Ontario-based legal industry publication also reported on allegations in December 2022. Coverage of allegations appears to have begun in November 2022.This article was brought to AfD on 18 February 2023, and NAC-closed as keep on 4 March 2023 by a now-blocked sock. Since then, the article subject has been criminally charged.I have tried to find reliable sources to help establish this subject was well-known before and/or independent of 'lawyer is subject to bar disciplinary investigation and license suspension,' 'lawyer is accused of serious misconduct,' 'lawyer is facing criminal charges,' and 'lawyer is relatedly getting sued in a civil action.' With an assist from the prior AfD and article, I have found: pre-November 2022 sources* a passing mention in a 2019 Toronto Star source that quotes him for his opinion: "James Bowie, an Ottawa criminal lawyer and past Liberal staffer, said..." - the mention of being a past Liberal staffer is used in the article to develop the Career section.* a 9-sentence report in a 2020 ' 'Ottawa City News' ' source based mostly on Bowie's statements announcing his belief that there would be no arrests at an upcoming anti-racism protest, but if there were, he would volunteer to provide free legal services to those arrested.* a mention of Bowie live-tweeting court in a Feb 2022 post about a bail hearing for Pat King, published by the questionable ' 'Daily Hive' ', which describes itself as "hyperlocal" and delivering "information to its local audience and advertisers".  Instead of editorial standards, this website appears to disclaim them: "The articles disseminated are believed to be reliable; however the publisher disclaims any and all liability as to the completeness or accuracy of the information contained in any article and for any omissions of material facts from such article."* a 7-minute 2022 CBC interview (a year ago) with Bowie - "Criminal lawyer James Bowie watched the bail hearing for convoy protest organizer Tamara Lich. He talks about the hearing, and where the process is at"* a nearly 7-minutes 2022 CBC interview (a year ago) with Bowie - "Criminal defence lawyer James Bowie takes us through how a mass-arrest situation - such as we are seeing in Ottawa this weekend - is handled. He also reviews the bail hearing for one of the convoy organizers"Based on available sources, compliance with WP:BLPSTYLE and WP:BLPBALANCE does not appear possible at this time - specifically writing a biography that is not primarily based on recent coverage related to allegations, investigations, and criminal charges. Since coverage of the allegations began, there are some brief mentions in Ottawa news about his past Freedom Convoy-related social media activity, e.g.post-November 2022 sources* 29 Nov 2022 CTV News Ottawa - includes a graphic content warning and briefly mentions "Bowie, who became known on Twitter this year for chronicling the court appearances of various 'Freedom Convoy' organizers"* 30 Nov 2022 Ottawa Citizen - "Ottawa lawyer James Bowie, known for garnering Twitter followers during the “Freedom Convoy” movement,"* 2 Feb 2023 Ottawa Citizen - describes Bowie's alleged belief in his own fame related to his tweeting about the Freedom Convoy* 24 April 2023 CTV News Ottawa - "Bowie rose to prominence on social media by chronicling the court appearances of various 'Freedom Convoy' organizers last year."Basic biographical and career information also appears to be limited, with the ' 'Ottawa Citizen' ' mentioning on 2 Feb 2023 "Born in 1983, Bowie was licensed in 2015 and has worked as a sole practitioner since 2020 in Ottawa" and the general location of his residence. If his own representations about his media activity are included, he seems to have made some appearances in news media to offer comment on Freedom Convoy proceedings in 2022, but there do not appear to be sources describing him as a well-known news commentator or pundit. According to more recent sources, he "became known on Twitter"/"known for garnering Twitter followers"/"rose to prominence on social media by chronicling the court appearances of various 'Freedom Convoy' organizers" in 2022, but does not appear to have received contemporary, independent, reliable, in-depth coverage of this. I think WP:BASIC/WP:GNG notability would not be supported based on what appears to otherwise be available about his career, commentary, and social media activity, and this limited available coverage does not offer a lot to help develop a balanced biography.In advance of this AfD, I removed content from the article based on WP:BLP policy. Sources remaining in the article are primarily coverage of allegations. So I am bringing this article here for further discussion, because notability does not appear to be well-supported, and it appears BLP policy further supports deletion of this article at this time.

March 2024

 * Raquel Evita Saraswati: nominated at AfD; notified 19:03, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This article is mostly developed from coverage focused on one event in early 2023, and substantial article content is supported by a press release produced by the article subject. The limited coverage in independent, reliable, and secondary sources provides minimal support for enduring notability; deletion seems supported by WP:BLP and WP:NOT policies, which encourage higher-quality and more sustained coverage.
