Article about an office building, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for office buildings. As always, buildings are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on reliable source coverage and analysis of their architectural, historical, social or cultural significance -- but this doesn't make any meaningful notability claim over and above existing, and is referenced almost entirely to primary sources that aren't support for notability. The only reliable source present here at all is an insurance industry trade magazine, which is here solely to tangentially verify the name of the company's CEO rather than supporting any information about the building in its own right.
Since it's the headquarters of a company that does have an article under WP:CORP terms, any information we need about its head office can easily be contained in the company's article -- but in order to qualify for its own standalone article as a separate topic from the company, it would need a much stronger notability claim, and much better sourcing for it, than this.

The sourcing here is at best dubious: some theatrical database, a club and a festival. The subject is likely associated with all three; all three are promotional blurbs. Independent coverage is glaringly absent. — Biruitorul Talk 18:11, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

My comment in the last AfD discussion was "Subject is middle author on a couple of highly-cited, highly-coauthored papers. I'm not seeing a pass of WP:NPROF C1. The journal editorship is of a new journal [1], which does not pass WP:NPROF C8. Little other sign of notability, and WP:TNT is relevant." I am less certain of TNT, but the rest still holds.

Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a writer and musician, not properly referenced as passing inclusion criteria for writers or musicians. As always, writers and musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to pass certain defined notability criteria verified by WP:GNG-worthy coverage about them and their work in reliable sources independent of themselves -- for example, you don't make a writer notable enough for Wikipedia by referencing his books to themselves as circular metaverification of their own existence, you make a writer notable enough for Wikipedia by referencing his books to third-party media coverage about them, such as professional book reviews and/or evidence that they've won or been nominated for major literary awards.
But this essentially just states that his work exists, without documenting anything that would meet WP:NMUSIC or WP:AUTHOR criteria, and it's referenced almost entirely to primary sourcing that isn't support for notability, such as his own podcast and the books metaverifying themselves. The only secondary source cited here at all is a (deadlinked but recoverable) Tiny Desk Concert, which just briefly namechecks his participation in the surrounding text without saying anything substantive about him, and thus isn't sufficient to get him over GNG all by itself.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass GNG on better sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 16:46, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

- Response to AfD Discussion: Thapaswini Poonacha
- I oppose the deletion of this article on the grounds that Thapaswini Poonacha meets Wikipedia’s notability criteria for actors (WP:NACTOR) and has received significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources.
- 1. Notability as an Actress
- Thapaswini Poonacha has been featured in multiple Kannada films, including:
- Hari Kathe Alla Giri Kathe (2022) – Available on JioCinema
- Gajarama (2025) – Upcoming release on February 7, 2025
- Mr. Jack – Upcoming, co-starring Guru Nandan
- Rukmini Vasantha – Upcoming, co-starring Shree Mahadev
- She has received media attention for her performances and won the Chittara Promising Star Award, which is a notable recognition in the Kannada film industry.
- 2. Significant Media Coverage
- Multiple independent and reliable sources have covered her career and achievements, demonstrating significant coverage beyond passing mentions:
- Times of India:
- "I do my research before signing a film"
- "Not about numbers, want to do memorable movies"
- "Roles have to make my soul happy"
- The New Indian Express:
- "I have no interest in chasing attention"
- Kannada Prabha:
- "Thapaswini Poonacha: I have no interest in chasing attention"
- Hindustan Times Kannada:
- "Thapaswini Poonacha in Christmas photoshoot"
- These sources demonstrate that Thapaswini Poonacha is consistently covered in reputable media, indicating her notability as an actress and public figure.
- 3. Business and Coffee Industry Recognition
- In addition to her acting career, she is a certified coffee cup tester and runs a coffee business in Coorg. This has been discussed in interviews and media coverage, adding to her notability beyond acting.
- 4. Conclusion
- Thapaswini Poonacha meets WP:NACTOR by virtue of:
- ✅ Multiple roles in notable Kannada films
- ✅ Award recognition (Chittara Promising Star Award)
- ✅ Significant, independent media coverage
- ✅ Additional recognition in the coffee industry

- Keep – Thapaswini Poonacha meets WP:NACTRESS by having significant roles in two notable films:
- Hari Kathe Alla Giri Kathe (2022) – Recognized and covered in mainstream Kannada media.
- Gajarama (2025) – While the film does not yet have its own Wikipedia page, it has received at least three bylined reviews from reliable sources.
- Additionally, she has been profiled in multiple independent, reliable sources, including:
- Times of India (article)
- New Indian Express (article)
- Kannada Prabha (article)
- Hindustan Times Kannada (article)
- Her acting career and coffee business have been independently covered, reinforcing her notability beyond just press releases or promotional content. The page has been cleaned up to meet Wikipedia’s neutrality and sourcing guidelines.
- Thus, per WP:GNG and WP:NACTRESS, the article should be kept. Akashmdp (talk) 18:00, 3 April 2025 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Example (talk • contribs) appears to have a close connection with the subject of the article being discussed.
- The Kannada Prabha piece is more interview. The Vinay Lokesh piece is also interview. These aren't nearly enough, IMHO. I don't see a single presented source which isn't routine entertainment news, mostly quotes. No direct detailing at all. To Akashmdp, repeating your bullet points over and over doesn't make your argument any stronger. You may be convinced, but you need to convince the other editors in this discussion. BusterD (talk) 18:14, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete User:Akashmdp is the page creator AND a paid contributor to this page. As for the sources already applied on the page, cite #2 (Asianet Suvarna News) admits it's a Kannada translation of The Times of India link (cite #1). Both consist entirely of identical quotes from the subject. Interviews do not count towards GNG. The two movie reviews are both (parenthetical) bare mentions, but do confirm the single role. Cite #5 is also an interview with a few bits of routine industry news. The photoshoot linked above is five pics of her in same outfit next to quotes from the actress. If this is all an avowed
digital marketing professional with 7+ years of experience in the industry
can bring, it's not very impressive to me. BusterD (talk) 17:56, 3 April 2025 (UTC)- For full disclosure, I was the administrator who declined the speedy deletion tag earlier. BusterD (talk) 17:59, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Keep– Meets WP:NACTRESS and WP:GNG.- I would like to address the concerns raised by User:BusterD regarding notability and sources.
- Significant Roles in Multiple Notable Films
- Hari Kathe Alla Giri Kathe (2022) – A commercially released Kannada film with media coverage.
- Gajarama (2025) – Upcoming film, already receiving pre-release coverage.
- Mr. Jack & Rukmini Vasantha – Both announced, with media mentions. Under WP:NACTRESS, an actor needs two significant roles in notable films, which she meets.
- Coverage in Reliable, Independent Sources
- Times of India: Multiple interviews and feature stories.
- New Indian Express: Independent reporting on her career.
- Hindustan Times (Kannada): Coverage of her work.
- Kannada Prabha: Career analysis and industry perspectives. Response to the Source Criticism:
- The Times of India article is a primary source, but it is still independent and features her career insights.
- The Asianet Suvarna News article may translate TOI but does not invalidate other sources.
- Movie reviews confirm her roles, fulfilling minimum WP:NACTRESS requirements.
- The New Indian Express piece is not just an interview; it provides analysis of her trajectory.
- Photoshoot coverage, while not the strongest evidence, still indicates media attention.
- Regarding Paid Editing Allegations
- While User:Akashmdp may have created the page, the subject’s notability stands independently.
- Wikipedia has a system for COI disclosures, but that does not automatically invalidate an article’s merits.
- Even if a paid editor initiated the page, the subject’s career must be evaluated separately from who added the content.
- Conclusion
- Thapaswini Poonacha meets both WP:GNG and WP:NACTRESS based on her coverage and career milestones.
- The article has been cleaned up to remove promotional tone and improve sourcing.
- If further citations or refinements are needed, that can be worked on, but outright deletion is unnecessary.
- Significant Roles in Multiple Notable Films

Weak Keep- Thank you, B-Factor, for your input. The references you provided—Times of India, Cinema Express, and The New Indian Express—are credible sources that establish Thapaswini Poonacha’s notability as an actress in Kannada cinema.
- These sources provide coverage of her career, film roles, and interviews, which meet Wikipedia’s General Notability Guidelines (GNG). Additionally, her role in upcoming films like Gajarama shows ongoing relevance.
- I believe the page should be retained, but I am open to improving it by adding more citations or restructuring content for better compliance with Wikipedia standards.

- Delete - The "two" significant roles argument is good as long as there is significant coverage on the subject themself. Simply having sources verifying a role is not enough. The sourcing here is no better than it was in the first two deletion discussions (mentions, NEWSORGINDIA, or otherwise unreliable). Apparently there are two other films they are involved in. Maybe when there is more coverage of them there will be more coverage of this subject. Until then, it is a case of TOOSOON. --CNMall41 (talk) 22:11, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

- Unsure - whilst it is true she’s been an actor in two films, it’s not really clear that these are notable even in the context of Indian cinema where it appears more than 100 Kannada language films are released per year. It is true there are reviews from Indian newspapers, but these suggest that the critical reviews were not good. It seems plausible to me that Indian actors might only be considered notable if they’ve been in movies that are particularly notable. The use of LLM and closeness to the subject strongly suggests that the !keep votes above are clouding the issue. JMWt (talk) 15:27, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: passes WP:NACTOR (barely, but still...). The subject also passes WP:GNG. The sourcing appears good - at least two of them are WP:RS, and the coverage is significant enough to warrant an article. I agree that the page needs to be improved, though.--DesiMoore (talk) 15:34, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Hewitt, Myrtis Jarrell has been reviewed in Ethnohistory (here), and the The Mississippi Valley Historical Review (here). There also seems to be a review in Anthropos (here), but the page is blank for some reason, even though highlighting it shows there is text.

ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 21:17, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- I would say that a review for the translation could be considered a review for the journal. I suppose that a good question to ask here, however, is whether or not the journal really needs to be covered separately from its author. As far as I can tell, it looks like this is his big claim to fame, so the question here is this:
- The author is pretty much best known for his journals. The book in question is his collected journals. Does this really need to be covered in two articles or can we do it adequately in one? Everything in the journal article appears to be in the article on the author, more or less. The only thing that's missing is the quote.
- My personal thought is that we redirect this to the author's page. We flesh out the article and create a new section that is specifically for the translations and publication history of the journals. Basically, the life section covers the experiences and the new section would cover the more technical stuff like translations, publication history, and so on.

everything in the journal article appears to be in the article on the author, more or less
, but I think it's better to have a separate section that highlights this info, at least until the parent article is expanded. -- asilvering (talk) 05:15, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

- For the record, yes I am the user who called the Houston press in an attempt to independently verify the articles he cited on his own wikipedia page - none of those print articles existed according to them.
- Your first link to houston press is talking about MARTY schwartz, not Guy Schwartz - Marty is a youtuber with infinitely more notoriety.
- Of the rest of the articles you linked, guy schwartz is the main subject of only TWO of those articles - and not to mention, they are all by the same publication. Which per WP:GNG - "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability."
- The only cited source within the entire article that I could find that had any direct ties to guy schwartz was yet another Houston Press article from 2007 entitled "South By Due East↵Racket heads for Austin as Guy Schwartz and M. Martin bicker over the history of a local festival" and it was incorrectly cited for a statement that claimed they have been running said festival since 2003 - which the article mentions nowhere. Thus why I pulled it from the article.
- Perhaps Guy Schwartz could write a new wikipedia page about himself with info from those two articles that he is the subject of, appropriately citing things that are within those articles for the information therein. But the article as it stands is a plethora of wild unsupported claims - such as claims of a 2016 presidential campaign that are based in nothing but fantasy. Claiming he toured with Duran Duran, Todd Rundgren and Huey Lewis.
- If Guy Schwartz was truly notable, then one would think he would manage more than a couple articles in Houston Press about his band. Brandonac4473 (talk) 09:17, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Also, the Billboard references I confirmed were bogus through online archives of those issues he claimed he was in.
- It also doesnt change the fact that none of those articles you linked were cited within the page. Had they been, this may have been a different story. Albeit the issue still stands: Per WP:GNG "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability."

Houston is a city. GS, at 73, seems to be listed among the most prominent Americana musicians of its local scene. Ergo (weak) keep?

- Do any of these articles you linked support the plethora of claims made throughout the article?
- This is why my attempts to verify them were so exhaustive. There are no credible sources for him having ran a 2016 presidential campaign, no credible sources for having toured with Duran Duran or Huey Lewis.
- He might've passed WP:GNG if those articles were properly cited within the article but they weren't cited at all.
- And Houston Chronicle calling his band an "icon" is a stretch particularly when their latest "music video" has 48 views on youtube. link

- Even if notability is established, WP:NDELETE still says a wikipedia article must cite sources for whatever information it presents - regardless of notability.
- The entirety of the article is filled with unverifiable claims. He still doesn't pass WP:GNG in my opinion but the criteria to delete the page has absolutely been met per WP:NDELETE even if he is truly notable. Brandonac4473 (talk) 09:16, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Feel free to fix it, then and remove everything you think is inappropriate (please do not WP:BLANK the page, though). As for the idea that a page about a "truly notable subject" should (or even could) be deleted because the page has no sources cited, although sources exist (and in the case of an/this AfD, especially if sources are presented!!!!), I am very sorry, but: ABSOLUTELY NOT!
- Just read Wikipedia:Notability#Notability_is_based_on_the_existence_of_suitable_sources,_not_on_the_state_of_sourcing_in_an_article, which is a WP:guideline. "WP:NDELETE" is an essay (="the advice or opinions of one [..] Wikipedia contributor[s]", not a policy or guideline). You are totally free to cite it and it is not a problem, but it has little, if any, weight as an argument to delete a page. (I completely disagree with that essay, personally, and find it is full of wild and reckless assertions). Also, articles that do not pass WP:GNG but meet a given WP:SNG may be kept, depending on the case. Best, -Mushy Yank. 10:43, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. Fails WP:PROF. Tito Omburo (talk) 09:54, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- I believe the article about Mohammed Altoumaimi should be kept, as he meets several notability criteria outlined in Wikipedis guideline on notability for academics (WP:PROF).
- To begin with, there is significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. As early as 2009, Altoumaimi was featured in major Swedish national media such as Dagens Nyheter and SVT, where he was recognized as a young mathematical prodigy. This early recognition indicates that his notability is not recent or fleeting.
- In addition, he has academic contributions that demonstrate active engagement in research. He has authored peer-reviewed work in the fields of theoretical physics and applied mathematics, including a 2025 publication available on arXiv (arXiv:2502.12205). This shows sustained academic activity and relevance.
- Furthermore, Altoumaimi public and academic presence has been consistent for over a decade, satisfying the criterion of enduring notability, as he has remained relevant both in media and in academic circles.
- Based on these points, he clearly meets at least two of the WP:PROF criteria:
- 1. He has made a significant impact in his academic field.
- 2. He has received substantial coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources.
- While the article could benefit from structural improvements and additional citations such as including sections on his biography, academic career, and list of publication it meets Wikipedias standards for notability and should not be deleted. 217.65.132.36 (talk) 10:42, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

- Mohammed Altoumaimi received substantial coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources in 2009 when, as a 16-year-old Iraqi immigrant in Sweden, he developed a mathematical formula related to Bernoulli numbers. This achievement was verified by Uppsala University senior mathematics lecturer Lars-Åke Lindahl and reported in multiple international news outlets including The Local, Al Arabiya, and UPI.com, satisfying Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline.According to Wikipedia's guidelines, "Notability is not temporary." Altoumaimi established notability in 2009 through significant media coverage of a substantial achievement verified by academic experts, not a trivial or fleeting event.Altoumaimi has continued his academic career with his 2025 publication "A Rigid Beam Acting in the Shearing Manner to the Quasi-Crystalline Half-Space," demonstrating ongoing contribution to mathematics and showing his early promise led to a sustained academic career.His story has significant educational and inspirational value, particularly for young people from immigrant backgrounds, enriching Wikipedia's coverage of diverse contributors to mathematics.I propose the article be retained with improvements to its structure and sourcing, with a potential review in one year to incorporate any new developments in his academic career. Mohammed Altoumaimi clearly satisfied Wikipedia's notability requirements through significant coverage in reliable sources. His continued academic activity and the educational value of his story provide strong grounds for retaining this article. 94.191.137.26 (talk) 19:20, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

- I also pointed out that the conspiracy theorist label was wrong. They claimed that I was not presenting a neutral point of view. Below are my comments:
- My comments were a neutral point of view. The text I was trying to change said:
- "Jenna McCarthy is an American conspiracy theorist." with no links or arguments to support the claim.
- I tried to change it to "Jenna McCarthy has been called an American conspiracy theorist." which is true without argument or need for support.
- I then also included an article from Jenna McCarthy that explained what are and are not conspiracy theories. This of course was her opinion which was explained in my edit. To not include any relevant arguments and simply claim that 'she is a conspiracy theorist' is not a neutral point of view.

She's had a decent amount of book reviews, and she co-authored (with Pierre Kory), a top-ten national bestseller.

All the articles are like this, they are not about Ramadan customs peculiar to one country but are merely descriptions of common customs.

- Prob delete - seems to me that the topic likely is notable in the sense that there probably are distinctive Turkish cultural practices during this religious time. But I'm also not convinced that the page, as it is currently framed, addresses that. Maybe someone else could try again later and make a better stab. JMWt (talk) 15:53, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete and do the same with all the other articles (or at least draftify). Agree with nom and JMWt that, from what I know about Ramadan and Turkish culture and from looking at the sources, much of the content is pretty generic and not necessarily specific to Turkey. The sources are not the highest quality don't really specify what makes Turkish observances unique among countries. Obviously social visits and common dinners are not any different from elsewhere. The author just translated this from Arabic wiki, but it's pretty poor writing to say lentil soup or lahmacun are Ramadan food when Turks eat these every day (if I'm wrong, the article should be clearer). Ramadan#Cultural practices is quite short and should be expanded to cover the instances where there are significant practices that may not be universal, perhaps expanded to a Ramadan by country page or similar that puts differences in context, but not standalone articles. I mean, Ramadan in the United States does have a couple US-specific facts, but then generic crap that there are Tarawih prayers just like everywhere else! Reywas92Talk 17:25, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

- Keep The topic is covered in many English-language books, not all of which are accessible through Google Books, but here are a few: How to Be Amazing at Speaking Turkish: Mastering the Heart of Türkiye [16], beginning of Chapter 7; Intellectuals in the Modern Islamic World: Transmission, Transformation, Communication [17] (the index shows that Ramadan in Turkey is covered on page 298, which is not part of the preview); World and Its Peoples Volume 1 [18] (again, the index lists Ramadan in Turkey on page 835, which is not shown in the preview). This book Introduction to Ramadan [19] may not be reliable (it looks self-published) but has info about Ramadan in Turkey which could be used to search for other sources (eg lighting traditional Ottoman lanterns apparently called fenerbahcesi). There are also several articles and chapters - "Celebratıon of Ramadan: The Case of Turkey" [20], "Does Ramadan Affect Happiness? Evidence from Turkey" [21]; "Aspects of Underlying Ramadan Consumption Patterns in Turkey" [22]; "Evaluation of the impact of the month of Ramadan on traffic accidents" [23]; "Can Religiosity be Sensed with Satellite Data? An Assessment of Luminosity during Ramadan in Turkey" [24]; etc. The topic is clearly notable - I don't think the fact that this article could be improved and expanded is a reason to delete it. I note that this article has been translated from the corresponding article in Arabic. Turkish Wikipedia seems not to have a specific article about Ramazan in Türkiye, but the article on Ramazan has some info specific to Turkey. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:57, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

This appears to be a housing estate, or a common name between neighbouring housing estates. I don’t see that it fulfills the criteria of WP:NSETTLEMENT. Unlike nearby Drinan or Brackenstown, it doesn’t have a logainm.ie entry. One possible benefit of retention as an article is as an area in the broader Swords region which is part of the Kinsealy–Drinan census area, rather than the Swords census area, but that would hold as true for Seatown, Lissenhall, or Drynam, mentioned on that part of the Swords article. There could be a case to expand Kinsealy–Drinan from a redirect to include all such places, with a note on the historic townland of Drinan.

Anyway, the sources in the article are of low quality for WP:N purposes, and I find nothing online now that lends itself to a finding of notability. Google finds only 120 mentions altogether in a verbatim search, and among them at best there's this one profile of its founders.

- Keep – Meenal Chaubey is the currently serving Mayor of Raipur, which is the capital city of Chhattisgarh, India. Holding the mayoral office of a state capital is a position of significant political importance and public interest. Her election has been covered by multiple reliable and independent news sources such as The Times of India, NDTV, and Hindustan Times, which establish her notability under Wikipedia's general notability guidelines (GNG) and WP:POLITICIAN. Furthermore, her political career, public engagements, and influence on local governance are well-documented, making her a notable figure in Indian municipal politics. Deletion of such a page would remove verifiable and encyclopedic information about a currently elected public official.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Thesurajsahu (talk • contribs)

This porn site is not notable under any criteria. It is not covered by any news sources and hardly even mentioned by Aylo themselves. Most of this article is just Men.com releases video, generates controversy or fame. The article's citations are also generally unreliable and not independent of the subject. Most of the websites are gay porn sites or LGBT forums which are not reliable and the gay porn websites could have been paid for a biased review given Aylo's power.

- Delete Non-notable gay porn site that also sounds like a toxic masculinity forum. An editor from Mars (talk) 08:33, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep And I would admonish editors to at least look at the references section of an article before calling a subject non-notable. There is WP:SIGCOV from Pink News, Queerty and several other LGBTQ+ publications currently in the article. The claim by the nominator that this website was not covered by news sources is factually incorrect. Simonm223 (talk) 12:39, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Pink News is the only one listed as a RS by Cite Highlighter, the others are yellow, so of marginal notability. We basically have one good RS and several iffy ones. Oaktree b (talk) 14:27, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- I'll be honest I'm not familiar with Cite Highlighter - I'm assuming it's a plugin - but it's giving you incorrect information. Queerty does not appear at WP:RSP and as such it is not "of marginal notability" nor is it an iffy RS. Merely one that hasn't had regular discussion at RS/N.Simonm223 (talk) 14:52, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

- Gravitic density meter (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
PROD nomination was refused due to discussion on the talk page of the article. During my original WP:BEFORE of the article, the only source about this specific type of density meter were primary from the company MPV Tech, the same company that produced the brochure in the wiki article. This article fails to meet WP:NOTABILITY and appears to be WP:PROMOTION for a product that never gained widespread adoption.
Link to the talk page where Ldm1954 and I discussed his concerns about my nomination.
Summary of what I found during my original BEFORE and from my additional checks during the discussion on the article talk page:
- 253 total hits for "gravitic density meter" on google, of which google only showed 26 due to similarity. Of these, only two seem to be discussing the specific apparatus described in the wiki article: the linkedin page of the manufacturer (2 hits) and a forum post linking to the linkedin page
Remaining sources fall into several categories:
- Wikipedia pages (2)
- 2 pages to a manufacturer/seller of density meters in China (sunp-electric)
- those from unreliable sites like chegg or studocu which are also behind registration pages (I count 5 total)
- Youtube: 2 videos showing how to make a "gravitic density meter" both of which describe how to measure specific gravity and are not related apparatus described in the article. 2 more hits that mention gravitic density meter.
- 5 sources that just copy the text of the wikipedia article https://www.definitions.net/definition/gravitic][43][44][45][46]
- 4 that just seem to have the words "gravitic density meter" on the page somewhere
- 1 about an exploding cybertruck for some reason
Searching for various combinations of "gravitic" "density" and "meter" bring up numerous results about density meters but I have not found anything that describes the deflected-rubber-hose-for-slurries apparatus described in the article. However, this is a difficult search due to the similarity between the concepts of specific gravity and density which can be confused in translation so there still may be sources that demonstrate notability out there.

- Neutral. I have no skin in the game here. I raised questions on the talk page; if I had objected strongly to the PROD I would have just removed it. Liz decided that the talk page was enough that AfD was more appropriate. I read the page, and I think the device would work. Of course there will be nothing on Gscholar or Jstor, nobody would write a science article on this! Even though I have spent most of my life writing science papers, those are not the only sources for notable devices.Ldm1954 (talk) 01:10, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
