Unsourced since creation in 2006. This is a WP:DICDEF/neologism issue; I don't see any reasonable way to expand this beyond a dicdef. Hog Farm _Talk 02:32, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if this can be merged (or redirected) somewhere. BD2412 T 03:32, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV. I don't doubt this is a widely used slang term in retail for loose merchandise. Unfortunately, it isn't one that is covered in any reliable sources that I can find. Even if we found a redirect or merge target, I don't think there is anything here worth saving. On a side note, I did find this Glossary of Purchasing and Supply Chain Management and this book had a Short Retail Glossary inside it. If we were to cover this it would be within a Glossary of retail terminology page because we can include dic-def topics on those pages per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Glossaries. Best.4meter4 (talk) 04:05, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. JoeNMLC (talk) 18:21, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PageRank algorithm in biochemistry

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Most of the content on this page is redundant to material on PageRank, including a confusing and incomplete explanation of how PageRank works. It also hasn't had any meaningful updates since 2014. I get the impression that some people suggested applying PageRank to biochemistry but it wasn't widely accepted. I also question if the original page creator, which has only edited this article, was associated with any authors of the referenced papers.

I don't think the potential applications of PageRank to biochemistry are notable enough for its own page. I did suggest a merge at Talk:PageRank § Merge PageRank algorithm in biochemistry but it was inconclusive and somebody suggested I AfD it instead, so here we are. Apocheir (talk) 02:05, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Biology and Internet. Apocheir (talk) 02:05, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A basic google search has a large number of scholarly publications on the applications of the PageRank algorithm that are specific to biochemistry. It clearly is a topic that passes WP:SIGCOV. Any issues of redundancy or poor explanation can be solved through editing, but I definitely think that it is a reasonable WP:Content fork in this instance.4meter4 (talk) 04:14, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per TNT anyway. Most of the references don't refer to PageRank or are deceased. The article as it stands is a barely-comprehensible summary of a single, very narrow application within biochemistry, and doesn't fulfill the promise of its title. It's possible someone could write an article based on 4meter4's search, but they'd have to start from scratch and almost nothing in the existing article would be of any use to them. This is a classic example of the Wikipedia articlee driven by someone's understandable excitement about a single primary literature reference. Elemimele (talk) 10:15, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Most of the sources I could find are primary, and all sources cited in the article are either primary or irrelevant (except ref. 4), mostly dating from right before this article's creation. There is no WP:LASTING coverage that we would expect from a notable topic; like Elemimele said, all signs point to someone creating an article about a topic they thought would turn out to be important, only to abandon it. People think up new computational tricks every single day, and many of them end up published; most are forgotten as technology and data evolve. We don't need to immortalize them all. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 12:10, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The content of the article reads like an essay and contains speculative claims (e.g. "A PageRank-based algorithm could identify important protein targets ...") which are inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Someone did a "basic Google search" above and found lots of WP: GOOGLEHITS, but that's sloppy work. They didn't actually identify any specific sources. And, even if someone comes forth with sources, cleaning this article up would amount to blanking the page, so WP: TNT applies here. HyperAccelerated (talk) 17:59, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rural tourism of Paraguay

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Only 1 source in 16 years of article existence. Anything relevant can be put into Tourism in Paraguay. Fails GNG. LibStar (talk) 01:28, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

delete If nothing else, it reads like a travel guide, not an encyclopedia article. Mangoe (talk) 03:35, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Selective merge to Tourism in Paraguay per WP:ATD. I'm seeing travel guides for Paraguay name dropping the term (one example [1]), and even an encyclopedia in Paraguay briefly saying it is an important part of the country's economy in certain places (see [2]) but without elaborating. It's clearly a topic that could be covered, but might be better done in the parent article.4meter4 (talk) 04:33, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Tourism in Paraguay as suggested by 4meter4 and nom. My initial impression was that it was salvageable with sourcing, but it isn't the case. Coeusin (talk) 05:59, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Moroccan General Labour Union

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:GNG/WP:NPROFIT. Cannot find any sourcing that confirms the existence of this trade union other than Facebook. Appears to be a single person as acting as a union. Referred to in a number of locations as "Union générale marocaine du travail" (for example, this Danish trade union report on Morocco, but which cites French Wikipedia as source). I also see some reports referencing the French name, but this has been confused with the long establised UGTM (Union générale des travailleurs du Maroc). I've not been able to do an extensive search in Arabic, but French and English draw blanks. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 00:39, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Does the organization possibly have a foreign language name(s) that it uses? There are many languages spoken in Morroco with English not being the predominant language. My guess is that locating sources would be under a foreign language title...4meter4 (talk) 04:51, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All Moroccan unions use Arabic and French. The name in Arabic is: الاتحاد العام المغربي للشغل Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 21:20, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I’ve searched in French and Arabic for the union and its founder. Nothing about the founder, plenty about other unions with similar titles, but nothing about this one. Mccapra (talk) 17:33, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

btw the UGMT referred to in the Danish report is not the same body. That was founded in 1960 and is notable. Mccapra (talk) 17:37, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW, see page 31 of the Ulandssekretariatet report, citing French Wiki, last entry on the table, it's referring to the UGMT, not the UGTM. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 19:38, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
