February 2022

 * Cylon Controls: nominated at AfD; notified 21:14, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Fails WP:NCORP. Coverage appears limited to primary sourcing or trivial articles on acquisitions, etc.
 * Chinese Music Society of North America: nominated at AfD; notified 21:33, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Cannot find sources establishing notability. Website appears to be down, and cannot find record of the supposedly quarterly, peer-reviewed journal it publishes. (Searched in English and Chinese.)

March 2022

 * Matthew Daniels: nominated at AfD; notified 02:28, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Fails WP:WP:NACADEMIC, based on criterion 5, The person has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research. Daniels does hold a named chair at the Institute of World Politics, but my sense is that IWP does not qualify as a major institution under the criteria. It is a very small (<200 students), relatively young (founded 1990), and highly specific organization that focuses only on graduate international affairs. If other editors agree that it does not qualify as major, then deletion is warranted: though the body appears extensive, albeit highly promotional, scrutiny of the sourcing shows that it is all self-published, non-independent, or tangential. While complicated somewhat by the generic name, WP:BEFORE did not unearth significant coverage to warrant the article existence. (Note that "Games for Good" is not the same organization as that covered briefly in some sources like IGN in the early 2000s).
 * GreatAmericans.com: nominated at AfD; notified 20:17, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Fails WP:GNG. The small amount of independent coverage focuses significantly on the founding director, in whose article I have since inserted content about GreatAmericans.com (Matthew Daniels). (This may also be an appropriate target of a redirect.)

May 2022

 * Behrooz Astaneh: nominated at AfD; notified 00:21, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Fails WP:GNG, at least per English sources. I am unable to do substantial WP:BEFORE in Farsi, however.
 * R. P. Eddy: nominated at AfD; notified 02:24, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Fails GNG. Eddy is quoted every so often in media, but very little is written about him elsewhere. The blatantly promotional article as is stands relies heavily on his LinkedIn or tangential mentions. There may be a case for an article about Warnings: Finding Cassandras To Stop Catastrophes, a book he wrote, but that also seems unlikely.

July 2022

 * List of U.S. states ranked per five-factor model personality trait: nominated at AfD; notified 04:28, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: This list is based off of what appears to be a single study, recreating the findings of a survey from about two decades ago. It fails WP:NLIST.

August 2022

 * ClinLife: nominated at AfD; notified 21:39, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Fails WP:GNG. Sourcing in the article is an array of primary and/or non-independent sources. Minimal non-trivial mention in news media.

December 2022

 * Allen J. Lauer: nominated at AfD; notified 02:38, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Fails WP:GNG. Coverage is either primary or very tangential mention in articles about businesses he worked at.

February 2023

 * La 7 Cartapiù: nominated at AfD; notified 23:57, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Appears to fail GNG, but further input is appreciated, especially those proficient in Italian. May be a good candidate for merging into the apparent parent group, Dahlia TV.
 * Bahamas Life: nominated at AfD; notified 00:03, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Fails GNG. Despite running for five seasons on a relatively well known network, I cannot find any reliable, independent that discuss or review the show. The closest I found is one or two articles noting its casting calls.

April 2023

 * Yahya Birt: nominated at AfD; notified 17:12, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Appears to Fail GNG, and probably WP:NACADEMIC. This one is an edge case. I searched for quite a while for RS that discuss Birt in detail, both under Yahya Birt and his birth name, Jonathan Birt. The most significant by far appears to be a short interview from 2006 in The Guardian, cited in the article. The other two — from The Economist and The Intercept appear to be passing mentions only. NACADEMIC Criteria 1a seems to be the only possible justification of notability — in Google Scholar, Birt does appear to have a decent amount of citations, but this is not the case in Scopus, either under Yahya Birt or Jonathan Birt. The Google Scholar counts appear to have some duplicates, and as discussed at NACADEMIC, it does not do a good job of filtering legitimate sources from illegitimate.
 * Galerie Smend: nominated at AfD; notified 16:21, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Fails WP:GNG.

May 2023

 * Federation of Galaxy Explorers: nominated at AfD; notified 02:09, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Fails WP:GNG.

July 2023

 * Cafu Engine: nominated at AfD; notified 15:17, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Fails WP:GNG. Two potential sources are listed in the article text from a German tech/software magazine, but both are inaccessible (see Gleich and Nebelo et al). Gleich appears to be a very brief (2-paragraph) review, evidently of the product under a previous name. Nebelo et al. appears to be a list of 125 pieces of software with very brief descriptions of each as part of an article celebrating the publication, based on the preview, which would not constitute significant coverage.

August 2023

 * TechCast Project: nominated at AfD; notified 21:09, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Fails WP:GNG. The media coverage alluded to in text, as far as I can tell (namely in the Futurist) is not independent as it is by the founder.

January 2024

 * Lymm Baptist Church: nominated at AfD; notified 19:25, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Does not meet WP:GNG. (Contested WP:PROD)
 * The Phoenix (novel): nominated at AfD; notified 23:45, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK criteria, based on searches in English and (elementary) German, though editors with fluency in German may be better positioned to uncover anything I missed.

February 2024

 * Jóannes Lamhauge: nominated at AfD; notified 22:19, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) * Reason: Fails WP:GNG.
