October 2020

 * International Centre for Technological Innovations (ICTI) nominated at AfD; notified 11:27, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Seems to be a covert advertisement for a non-notable organisation. Even if notability could be established, this should be deleted per WP:NOBOGOF.
 * Remark Holdings nominated at AfD; notified 10:03, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: An apparent UPE creation edited heavily by other apparent UPE/COI editors  with repeated attempts to paste their press-kit into the article . The most recent edits by an IP, which have since been revision-deleted by  for copyright infringement, attempted to do the same, while purging any potentially controversial content. Sources do not establish that the company meets WP:CORPDEPTH, and I don't think we should do them the favour of a big search for sources and a rewrite: Our response to paid editing should not be "buy one, get one free"; we should not be rewarding unethical marketing efforts like this in any way.  Hence delete per WP:NOBOGOF and WP:TNT, with no prejudice against recreation by someone who a) is not paid or b) has disclosed their conflict of interest.

November 2020

 * Kit Kemp nominated at AfD; notified 01:54, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: The given sources do not show in-depth coverage of the subject herself. A BEFORE search gives me some interviews in low-profile sources and a good number of passing mentions, but there doesn't seem to be enough here for a standalone article. It also reads somewhat like a PR bio.

December 2020

 * Louis Wright (digital operator) nominated at AfD; notified 00:17, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Speedy tag blanked by SPA, so bringing this here. Highly promotional article about a non-notable individual; sources are either SEO Spam (ONN, Extravagant), non-independent (lots of mere links to websites of NGOs he has worked with), unreliable (Instagram, company bio pages), or don't mention him at all (aforementioned links, Manchester Evening News, the Reading Chronicle). Ideally speedy delete as a case of WP:G11.
 * Eger Karl Johan: nominated at AfD; notified 00:48, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: A spammy article about a non-notable department store. I couldn't find anything that would justify inclusion and had a quick chat with a Norwegian speaker who said they couldn't find anything either.
 * Addnode Group: nominated at AfD; notified 12:21, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: A company article by a disclosed paid editor that has been draftified 3 times and was unilaterally moved back to mainspace in all of these cases. Looking at Google Translate, the given sources don't seem to establish that this passes NCORP, and a BEFORE search didn't give me any usable English-language coverage either. Someone with knowledge of Swedish may have better luck, but I think it's time that we get this one out of the draftification cycle. Best,
 * Daniel Sansano: nominated at AfD; notified 11:31, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: A7 tag repeatedly blanked by what I suspect is a sock. Essentially unsourced BLP; I can find no indication that this individual is notable appears to be a self-written vanity page. Hence Speedy delete per CSD A7 and/or G11.

January 2021

 * Ebs Akintade: nominated at AfD; notified 11:48, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: A grossly undersourced BLP (refs are IMDb and a BBC programme information page) with promo issues – appears to be an autobiography. I can't find anything that would establish that he meets NBIO. Hence delete.
 * Jimmy H. Chebat: nominated at AfD; notified 01:51, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Declined A7, so bringing this here. None of the references constitute significant coverage of the subject and I can't find anything that could rectify that. I did find this, but it isn't alone on its own and has promotional undertones. Hence delete.
 * Overseas Family School: nominated at AfD; notified 11:50, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: I can't find any meaningful, independent English-language coverage of this school. All sources that are currently in the article are to the school's website. There may be coverage in one of Singapore's other national languages, but I don't think this is notable. It's also clearly promotional and basically amounts to a website mirror, for what it's worth. Best,
 * Angela Gronenborn: nominated at AfD; notified 13:46, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This nomination is a result of, in which Angela Gronenborn has requested that the article be deleted. I am submitting it on her behalf. I am well aware that she meets NPROF in more than one way, but I think there is a reasonable argument to be made here that WP:BLPREQUESTDELETE applies: Scientists are not inherently public figures – Angela Gronenborn has chosen not to be one. While the article is well written and has no obvious issues, I can empathise with a subject not wanting to be publicised in this manner (and not wanting to be burdened with the task of monitoring the article). I think we should honour this preference, especially since we're looking at a low-traffic, low edit-count (~50 pageviews in December, fewer than 50 edits since creation) article. I want to ask participants in this AfD to consider the request on these grounds instead of debating notability (which is clearly there). From my side, this is a strong delete for the sake of not burdening a low-profile individual. Best,

March 2021

 * Business 2 Community: nominated at AfD; notified 11:51, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: A spammy article about a non-notable black hat SEO platform. BEFORE search finds nothing useful, and the existing sourcing is as follows: *Forbes – "Brand contributor" piece – unreliable. *Bluefocusmarketing – Not really coverage, not an RS. *Constantcontact – Blog. Unreliable. *performancing.com – I had explicitly tell my ad-blocker that I want to visit this one, which probably says something. It also isn't coverage. *business2community – SPS, useless for notability.*original9.com – Blog, not an RS. *Ad Age – 404. *evancarmichael.com – Blog, listicle, unreliable. *business2community #2 – SPS.Hence delete.
 * Kyle Anfenee: nominated at AfD; notified 12:13, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: A recreation of Kyle Anfernee, which was G5'd a month ago, likely to avoid detection. It might take me a bit to figure (and sort) out the socking situation, so bringing this here. The subject fails WP:BIO; the only thing that got him a modicum of coverage was a brief feud with Cardi B, but that's very 1E-ish and didn't actually produce biographical coverage. BEFORE shows nothing useful – I can find a bunch of black hat SEO spam about him, but no actual meaningful coverage in reliable sources. Hence delete.
 * Mel Schwartz: nominated at AfD; notified 15:04, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: An outrageously promotional article and likely a COI creation. The article does not contain a single independent source, and a BEFORE search shows that he has been quoted and interviewed in a number of outlets, but does not turn up sufficient biographical coverage to justify an article. Hence delete.
 * Kamel Rekab: nominated at AfD; notified 11:31, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Appears to fail WP:NACADEMIC. The citation counts are insufficient to show significant scholarly impact, he doesn't hold a named chair and I don't see anything else that would make him meet any other criteria. WP:BASIC is also not met – the article doesn't demonstrate significant coverage in independent, reliable sources and I couldn't find any better ones during a BEFORE search. For what it's worth, there's a pretty strong smell of UPE in the air here; the creator gamed AC, created an essentially complete mainspace article in a single edit and then disappeared.

April 2021

 * Sushil Pokharel: nominated at AfD; notified 11:04, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Blatantly promotional (and always has been). A BEFORE search doesn't turn up significant coverage of him as a person, at least not in English. There may be some in other languages, but regardless, I think this is probably solidly in TNT territory. Best,

March 2022

 * Wikipedia:Icewhiz's law: nominated at MfD; notified 11:05, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: I don't think this essay is accurate or insightful enough to outweigh WP:DENY concerns; Icewhiz is just one of many bad-faith actors, and he doesn't need to be memorialised with a "law" or a projectspace shortcut.

August 2022

 * DJ Quixotic: nominated at AfD; notified 18:14, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Unreferenced since 2007, previously deleted through AfD, and I can't find any coverage in reliable sources that would justify an article (the only thing I could find was a very brief mention in the NYT here, but that hardly constitutes coverage).
