Previously declined draft on WP:CT/SA that was noted by reviewers as being possibly created with LLM. User made 250 edits between 11/8 and 11/10, seemingly just to receive XC status and to move it to mainspace skipping AfC. 海盐沙冰/ aka irisChronomia / Talk / Uploads 08:48, 10 November 2026 (UTC)
Keep My edits were not made to artificially inflate an edit count, they are genuine, contributions made across various pages. This includes contributions to historical pages along with tonal and grammatical fixes across various wikipedia pages.
I moved the article to the wikipedia mainspace after thoroughly scrubbing the prose to address prior feedback and ensuring it complies with policy. The article is supported by multiple independent, reliable historical sources

Article was written by Bharatwikiexpert, now blocked for promotion; substantially edited by NarasinghP, now blocked for LLM use; and then by Truthseekerindian, now blocked as a sock of Bharatwikiexpert (or vice versa). There is no substantial text from other editors. The article appears promotional and also LLM-generated. Discussion at AINB suggested that LLMPROD can't be used as multiple authors are (maybe) involved, so I am bringing to AfD. I do not think anything here should be salvaged: WP:TNT is a better response to this mixture of UPE, sockpuppetry, and LLM. M kuhner (talk) 19:18, 5 November 2026 (UTC)
I suspect WP:LLM use here. Some fluffy phrases that come across as possibly AI-generated to me include (emphasis added):
The show focused on news, analysis, and commentary for the National Football League, delivered with a mix of insight and humor.
The format combined NFL news and analysis, commentary, interviews, and listener engagement. It was noted for blending serious football coverage with humor and the personal chemistry of the hosts.
Chris Wesseling was a central voice of the podcast, known for his analysis and humor.
His influence was frequently acknowledged in later episodes, and his absence was deeply felt by both the hosts and the audience.
There's also the WP:AIBOLDWP:AILIST in "Hosts and format". Some of the author's edit summaries also feel a bit sketchy to me but they haven't edited enough for me to get a definitive feel. Shocksingularity (talk) 03:29, 5 November 2026 (UTC)

Keep. A discussion of sources belongs in the article itself (see e.g. here), and the Eisenhofer paper + others that it cites are a great place to start. To me, the fact that there are scholarly articles discussing Egharevba's value means that it is worth including with a full discussion, not ignoring. His work exhibits the same problems as almost all other sources based on oral history, but that doesn't mean they should be systematically excluded from Wikipedia.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Keep. I’m the original author, so that’s my connection to the article. The nomination includes two issues: problems with the earlier draft and whether the company itself is notable. I have since manually rewritten and condensed the article, removed promotional material and weak references, and addressed the AI-writing concern. If a specific sentence still needs work, that can be handled through normal editing. WP:ATD and WP:NOTCLEANUP apply to that specific concern.
On NCORP, the CRN and PitchBook pieces are dedicated coverage of the company’s launch, leadership, cybersecurity focus and services. That is not passing coverage or "inherited" notability. WP:TRADES calls for CAUTION with trade publications, for sure, but not exclusion. The WSJ citation may be a passing mention, but that doesn’t invalidate CRN or PitchBook. The strongest sources should be assessed individually. And under WP:NEXIST, notability depends on the published coverage, not the quality of an earlier Wikipedia draft. So I am a firm keep, and will suggest that we address any remaining prose or sourcing issues through ordinary editing rather than deleting the whole page ZeroSGravity (talk) 16:21, 5 November 2026 (UTC)

Keep. The nomination says the company is not notable and then adds AI, COI and promotional tone, but only notability is a reason to delete, and the rest is cleanup for the talk page or WP:COIN. The August move log gave "promotional/ad, possible COI, machine-generated" as the reasons and never mentioned notability. CRN (2018, a full article on the launch), The CyberWire (2020) and PitchBook (2018) give the company the coverage WP:NCORP asks for, and the weak WSJ newsletter citation can be swapped out without touching that. CatherineOfSiena (talk) 00:50, 6 November 2026 (UTC)

Comment: Note to editors advocating keep here that they've assumed the burden of LLMPRVOBJ if the article is understood to contain LLM generated content, prior to any affirmative determination in favor of retention.
This article is based on a single primary source (research paper) and I have not been able to find any reliable additional sources. The author is under investigation at WP:AI noticeboard/Simfish but this article is short and not clearly LLM, though I note that the CAS number is incorrect and might be hallucinated. In any case it fails WP:GNG. M kuhner (talk) 15:34, 3 November 2026 (UTC)
Keep I added the CAS number from PubChem source. The cross does not mean that it is incorrect, just that it has not been checked by an independent person against an authoritative source, such as the CAS database. So that part of the argument is debunked. The substance is actually for sale: or in catalogs . And so important enough to have an article here. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:21, 3 November 2026 (UTC)
The link given in the article does not work. However the given CAS number does show up in a large number of product catalogs, so there is some reason to believe it's correct. I don't have database access to check it: do you? A correct link here would be very helpful.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Strong Keep (article creator). Replying to the points raised:
SYNTH: Membership comes directly from each franchise's season article (the squad tables), and the title counts are simple tallies of those entries (WP:CALC), not a new conclusion. I am open to replace the per-player profile refs with per-season squad sources so each season is verifiable.
NLIST: The set is well defined (players in a title-winning squad), and reliable sources do discuss title-winning players as a group, for example the most-titles lists by CricketTimes and Sportskeeda. I accept that coverage is thinner for players with one title, but sources do confirm this and they are mentioned in wp squad bases. The scope of the article can also be altered.
INDISCRIMINATE / NOTDATABASE: The list is bounded by a stated criterion and is a navigational aid to the squad articles, with context in the lead and by-team and by-nationality summaries, rather than raw data.

On September 19, 2026, I PROD'd this article for the following reasons: "Pretty much any source anyone is gonna find on this topic will be of Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is already its own article. Otherwise, there's no evidence of notability." I will admit, I was also motivated by the inclusion of the AI-generated tag.
JASpencerobjected to this, saying that notwithstanding clauses are a common legal provision beyond Section 33, before going on to expand the article. However, one month later, and I am still not convinced. In his bid to prove the subject's notability, he could only find one reliable, secondary source that discussed the concept of notwithstanding clauses in-depth. Given that the search for evidence of this subject's notability has turned up short, this article should be deleted. Lazman321 (talk) 17:21, 25 October 2026 (UTC)
The Congressional Research Service, BBC, Brick Court Chambers and the House of Commons Library aren't reliable secondary sources? JASpencer (talk) 19:25, 25 October 2026 (UTC)
The CRS only talks about one notwithstanding clause in-depth within the context a specific law and doesn't really discuss the concept of notwithstanding clauses in-depth, which isn't a strong indicator of notability. BBC does not talk about any notwithstanding clause, both in general or in context, in-depth. Brick Court Chambers is a self-published blog, and the House of Commons Library is a repository of primary sources. Lazman321 (talk) 15:31, 26 October 2026 (UTC)
Comment - I'll be doing a keep comment when I have time, but a suggested compromise doesn't seem to have been tried - which is to rename the general worldwide legal principle which we are discussing to something like Non Obstante Clause and pointing Notwithstanding Clause to the article that is narrowly limited to Canada, as the more common search tetm. This should satisfy the Canadian nationalists while keeping the general legal and constitutional concept safely in what is supposed to be an Encyclopedia.
Keep This is an important concept in legal drafting that is not just present in Canada but also the United Kingdom, Australia, India and the United States - and that's limited to what is in the article.
I quite understand the argument that the phrase "Notwithstanding Clause" is shorthand for an important and often reported element in Canada's constitutional arrangements, but a competing use of a term has never been an argument for excluding another legitimate, let alone more general and abstract, use of the term. I do accept that this opens up a question of the ownership of the address for "Notwithstanding Clause", but suppression of a legitimate and more general article on which the particular Canadian example is based is not an appropriate use of the AfD process.
On a small technical note I think that the nominator has become confused about reliable secondary sources when "only" citing a legal textbook probably by looking at Sources rather than References; as they have missed a national broadcaster, a barristers' chambers and the official research services for the British Parliament and the US Congress.
Wikipedia is big enough for two articles, which is just as well as if one of the articles should be merged into the other it would be the Canadian example rather than the Common Law principle on which the example is based. The problem is that we don't have one URL, but that's a question of naming rather than deletion.
Delete - the examples (other than the Canadian one) seem to be about the use of the word "notwithstanding" in legal documents, not "Notwithstanding clause" as it's own thing. It could be kept as "Notwithstanding (legal term)" or something. But clearly the main current use of "notwithstanding clause" is the Canadian example. SECProto (talk) 03:09, 29 October 2026 (UTC)
Keep - its use in contracts and last wills and testaments are ubiquitous. Do you really want our readers to abandon us for Grokpedia? I'll die on this hill, which is that AfD is not for tinkering with articles, notwithstanding that it's just one little article. Bearian (talk) 14:56, 29 October 2026 (UTC)
So an article tagged as containing AI-generated content with little to no evidence of meeting WP:GNG must be kept because...we want to keep people away from Grokpedia? We shouldn't be basing our decisions on whether it will lead to readers to switch to Grokpedia; we should be basing them on whether it will improve Wikipedia. Do you have multiple secondary sources that analyze the concept of notwithstanding clauses in-depth? Lazman321 (talk) 15:20, 29 October 2026 (UTC)
That's not the notability criteria. The criteria is whether there is evidence that it's being used. And there's plenty of evidence of that. JASpencer (talk) 13:23, 30 October 2026 (UTC)
That has never been the notability criteria. WP:GNG says, "A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." And it does clarify that by sources, it means multiple secondary sources, as in sources that analyze primary sources such as laws. Lazman321 (talk) 14:01, 30 October 2026 (UTC)
Delete per WP:NOLLM without preventing a recreation that is human written Isla🏳️⚧ 12:16, 2 November 2026 (UTC)
Keep. The nominator's argument is that the we need at least two examples of significant coverage prescinding from Section 33, and at present we only have one. But here is one that concerns law in India. And here is another (esp., but not limited to, pp 237–244), dealing with U.S. law. Searching for the term non obstante will reveal many others.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Anti-Grokpedia sentiment aside, sources can be added and LLM content cleaned up during this discussion. Meanwhile, I took the liberty of creating Non obstanteNon obstante as a redirect. The two pages can be swapped once this AfD is closed, if needed. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Owen×☎ 15:19, 3 November 2026 (UTC)
Stubbify and move to Non obstante as the best alternative to deletion. It is dangerous to leave LLM text around as its problems are more subtle than most other bad text and it can hang around for a long time. If this option is chosen I will volunteer to stubbify, if no one else wants to: please ping me. M kuhner (talk) 20:03, 4 November 2026 (UTC)
Apart from the one source given that just links to google scholar, no other mentions I can find about the place. Falls into WP:GNG pretty sure. PeepeeDino (talk) 15:38, 20 October 2026 (UTC)
