March 2022

 * Mount Ebal curse tablet: nominated at AfD; notified 10:37, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: See Talk:Mount Ebal‎ - there has been no peer review for this yet and if you read it's clear that virtually everything about it is or will be challenged including the language, date, inscriptions, etc. Note that  it was found in Canaan before the creation of Israel, that it was found without any context by a Creationist. WP:NOTNEWS applies and this sort of extraordinary archaeological claim should not be based on media reports. The fact of the media reports is IMHO not sufficient reason for an article or even its mention in other articles. Also note that at the date claimed that the inscription would not have been about the Jewish God but about the deity Yahweh, who became one of the gods worshiped by the early Israelites before they became monotheistic.

July 2022

 * Princess Sura of Parthia: nominated at AfD; notified 07:42, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: See Articles for deletion/Sura of Parthia and List of hoaxes on Wikipedia. World History Encyclopedia seems to have been fooled by this hoax and I know question its reliability. The other sources don't mention a "Sura".

August 2022

 * Straight (magazine): nominated at AfD; notified 15:51, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Only source is the publisher himself. This may be relevant either here or at Destroyer Magazine

October 2022

 * EXIT (magazine): nominated at AfD; notified 09:49, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Maybe someone else can find enough reliable sources, but I couldn't. Pretty obvious COI creation.

November 2022

 * User:Incendiex90: nominated at MfD; notified 16:59, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Per WP:USERBIO.
 * User:Konnech/sandbox: nominated at MfD; notified 19:40, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Long abandoned draft (10 years)
 * User talk:Roshan Kumar Mahato: nominated at MfD; notified 15:11, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Looks like an article created on their talk page.

December 2022

 * Pakistan war crimes: nominated at AfD; notified 12:41, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Although an article might be possible on this topic, this is not it. Many of the sources are unverifiable because the text was copied and pasted from other articles and none of the 10 or so sources I checked mentioned war crimes. Unless someone wants to fix it, and that would be difficult, I think we have to nuke it.

January 2023

 * User:Jafet/Watchlist: nominated at MfD; notified 14:05, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Last edit Dec. 31 2008. Still in Category:Wikipedia watchlist.

April 2023

 * Algonquian Confederacy of the Quinnipiac Tribal Council: nominated at AfD; notified 08:21, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: No evidence of notability. I can see simple mentions of it in books but no discussion. It is also mentioned here which says " (There is an “Algonquian Confederacy of the Quinnipiac Tribal Council.” Its leader, Iron Thunderhorse, is currently in prison in Texas for rape, and projected to be released in 2051, at the age of 107. He is half-Italian, was born William Coppola, and according to a legal filing by the Texas prison authority, was not listed as Native American on at least one of his purported birth.'" Iron Thunderhorse's article was basically written by the same editor who wrote this one in 2007 IIRC. Thunderhorse is a wannabe New Ager with a lot of self-published stuff and articles in "Ancient American" which edited by Frank Collin and is the usual fraudulent archaeology stuff, everybody came to America with some right wing stuff thrown in.

May 2023

 * Foundational Black American: nominated at AfD; notified 12:18, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Term has only trivial mentions, I couldn't find anything better.

February 2024

 * Category:Wars in the Land of Israel: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified 11:54, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Bringing it here for other opinions. This 30 day old category seems perhaps political, ambiguous and unnecessary.

March 2024

 * Shi Xing Mi: nominated at AfD; notified 15:11, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Sources are basically self-sourced, no longer work with the domain being sold and excluded from Wayback (, or newspapers with only a date and no other information. I've searched and can find very little from reliable sources, although his real name did come up a couple of times but just with mentions that he was doing something somewhere. Since its creation by "Shaolininfo" it's been edited mainly by Swiss IPs, the latest emailing me to ask why I deleted her edits and saying that "I am the assistant of Master Shi Xing Mi (Walter Gjergja) ".

April 2024

 * Krister Sundelin: nominated at AfD; notified 07:36, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Can't find sources actually discussing him to show notability. There is a Swedish article but that doesn't have such sources either.
 * Split rock of Horeb: nominated at AfD; notified 18:30, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: I've struggled to find sources since this was created. There are a lot of sources, but they are either fringe or seem to be about something else. I've left one source in the article as an example - the Fox News article is really a publicity piece about a travel tour run by someone who claims to have found the real location of Mt. Sinai. His book cites people like Ron Wyatt
