April 2024

 * University of Information Science and Technology "St. Paul The Apostle": nominated at AfD; notified 00:12, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: The article states they have 375 students, which is not a university. Many of the claims look too much, and none are verified. From their own web page the number of faculty is very small. Making a Beowulf cluster is not notable. More significant coverage is needed, this fails almost everything.
 * Spice rack: nominated at AfD; notified 05:38, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: A case of WP:NOTEVERYTHING. Spice ranks are useful, in fact we have one. However, that does not make them something which is notable enough to have a page. The first two sources are definition, the third (of three) is a blog that (rightly) suggests that they help to organize a kitchen. I agree, but no need for a page on that here IMHO.
 * Ejikeme Patrick Nwosu: nominated at AfD; notified 12:30, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Page is advertising. It was deleted before in 2017, and does not seem to have been improved. Just getting a patent is not notable, it has to become a real product/method heavily used.
 * Paulin Basinga publications: nominated at AfD; notified 12:36, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: There is no reason to have a list of someone's publications on Wikipedia, this is what Google Scholar and Research Gate etc are for. Since a PROD was contested, it has to go to AfD (perhaps speedy delete). This page should not be merged to Pauline Basinga as a long list is not useful in a BLP.

May 2024

 * Cogfog: nominated at AfD; notified 23:22, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This article is about the weekly research group meetings of two faculty and their students/Postdocs etc. As such this is definitely not appropriate content for Wikipedia, WP!. If we were to start to include topics like this then we would have to add the (more notable) faculty meetings and weekly seminars in academic departments around the world. We should not do this, 'Speedly delete
 * Data-driven astronomy: nominated at AfD; notified 08:56, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This appears to be either or both a PhD project proposal (or a MA or Part II). It describes what will be done as part of an apparently funded proposal. Since there already is a more general page on the wider topic at Astroinformatics, I see no rationale for this page.

June 2024

 * Chinedu Ekuma: nominated at AfD; notified 07:48, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Assistant professor with an h-factor of 22 and no notable awards and no notable mentions. Novice editor (his first article) ignored AfC declination and moved to main space, twice deleting COI tags. On new page patrol both notability and COI were tagged and draftified; novice editor removed tags and a moved back to main space. Hence AfD.
 * Typical medium dynamical cluster approximation: nominated at AfD; notified 08:03, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Page probably created by students in the group of the originator of the algorithm. All relevant refs to the method are from one group, there are no secondary sources. It should be trimmed down to a paragraph or two and merged into Dynamical mean-field theory since it is a variant of that very well established and used approach. We should not have separate articles on every minor DFT variant IMO.
 * Tardza Project: nominated at AfD; notified 08:29, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: The three pages Tardza Project, Criollo_Project and Carbone (company) are not written appropriately for Wikipedia, and have very marginal notification. I tagged them on NPP, but the editors have made no attempt to improve them. I am therefore doing a AfD, this one is the worst so I see no reason it can meet WP:N

July 2024

 * ELKO theory: nominated at AfD; notified 15:49, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Article based upon one source which has been cited 4 times, plus a second more cited source that has nothing to do with thr topic. The page was previously deleted, and as part of NPR I tagged a newly created version for questionable notability, no significant scientific coverage and in need of better sourcing to avoid a future AfD. Editor User:TakuyaMurata immediately removed the maintenance tag of notability claiming that a Google search indicates that it is; I find no evidence that it is. Hence time for an AfD as not notable for a more complete discussion.
 * Thomas A. Moore: nominated at AfD; notified 07:29, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Academic without a significant publication record or major awards. While he has written two textbooks, notability of them is unclear with only one review. In any case, even if the book is notable the author does not have to be. Page was moved to draft following NPR; editor rejected draftification and moved back to main without attempting to prove notability. Hence time for AfD.
 * Yossi Elran: nominated at AfD; notified 06:48, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: One of a number of BLP recently created directly to main space by קוונטום דוץ. Multiple editors have pointed out issues with these such as notability, sourcing, refbombing. This is perhaps the weakest. Lecturer with an h-factors of 8, no major awards, no major mentions, weak independent sourcing and many unsourced paragraphs.
 * Classic World Racing: nominated at AfD; notified 13:57, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Together with Crendon Replicas, Blitzworkd Buggies, Buckland Cars (and maybe others), articles created by . None have significant coverage anywhere except for trade/specially articles. I don't think any pass WP:N. I picked this one as a start for the discussion.
 * Juan Carlos Cusi Martinez: nominated at AfD; notified 19:41, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Academic who appears to be a research scientist, with not many publications, no wider coverage and no major awards. Notability was tagged by a different editor in May, nothing has been done. Hence time for an AfD as he seems to be far short of WP:NACAD
 * Strengths test: nominated at AfD; notified 19:51, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This reads as an advert hiding as an article. It is only about one product, and I do not see this as a neutral article that should be in Wikipedia.
