- Sol Kumin - Contains too much information (including lists of top racehorses he owns) and lean that might be better suited for a personal website and not a Wikipedia page. WP:COPYEDIT, MOS:LIST, WP:NEUTRAL. JRHorse (talk) 13:34, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
- Platonk (talk) 01:56, 24 September 2021 (UTC) Partly done. I did a major copyedit on the article, but no major trim. Details on article's talk page.
- Thomas & Friends merchandise - Unorganized and unsourced. An absolute mess of an article. Green Shy Guy 54 (talk) 15:06, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
- South Yorkshire Transport - Tagging because while I thought this had only one section that was biased, it appears the entire article, written in 2007, massively fails WP:NPOV, barely makes use of one source and seems to have been written with some sort of malice by the original creator - see recently deleted entry on competition between companies. Would like some pointers on where I can go with it, or perhaps a decision on scrapping the article entirely and starting anew/merge it into either South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive/First South Yorkshire. For those in the know, should I write about Mainline in that article or does that go in First South Yorkshire? Unsure if this should go here, but worth a shot at discussing. Hullian111 (talk) 21:32, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Chevrolet Vega – Several references with missing or empty titles.— WILDSTARtalk 17:13, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
- @WildStar: Those are all citations from 20-50 year old print magazines. I'm not sure they're available online (to get a title). We could, however, change the format of the citation so that the 'red font' in the references section goes away. Let me know if you think that would help, and I'll do that for you. Platonk (talk) 15:24, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Platonk, since all of those CS1 style references fail to provide the needed bibliographic data (title), I believe it would be acceptable to improve them per WP:CITEVAR, retaining as much (if not all) of the information already there. If you feel the need, please feel free to discuss it further on the article's talk page. All the best and thank you! — WILDSTARtalk 16:58, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
- Romani society and culture - article contains large spelling, grammatical, and stylistic errors, significant unsubstantiated claims and overly biased assertions (especially in relation to the origin of the Romani people), and overall unencyclopedic formatting and tone.

- Bunny Gibson – actress page needs major cleanup, with special attention for "References" section. KidAd • SPEAK 01:51, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
- Love Showdown (Archie Comics) – A rather notable Archie Comics storyline from the mid-1990s, the article may be in the territory of fancruft and original research.
I'm thinking with a few citations (articles about the storyline that the only Internet Archive citation mentioned in passing, the aftermath of the storyline, and its impact years later.) could help expand the article.Pahiy (talk) 14:05, 12 August 2021 (UTC)

- The Sight (Clement-Davies novel) - formatting issues and way too detailed. Eeidt (talk) 12:58, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- Teleserye - similar problems, with lots of fancruft and requires verification. There were proposals to merge it with telenovela, but nothing's come of it. Can someone have a look at this? Image2012 (talk) 12:28, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
- List of The Loud House characters - fancruft,

- R. Ponnappan Nadar - Except for the first few paragraphs, the article is entirely copied from his (no longer available) foundation's biography page [1], however I'm not sure how credible that information is or if the subject is even notable enough for Wikipedia. – Normal Name (talk) 05:12, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
- WP:NPOV and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. Considering a nomination for WP:AFD. Rosalina2427 (talk) 04:34, 18 July 2021 (UTC) Partly done Removed a good amount of the article, mostly including content that violated

Barbara Heinemann Landmann - Needs to be completely reformatted and copyedited.~ฅ(ↀωↀ=)neko-channyan 17:59, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: - There is an exact copy of this article at: [2]; not sure which site copied which. I have been around WP for a long time and have never seen a more preposterous candidate for the WP:TNT process. It looks like a direct copy of a high school student's research paper. I suppose Ms. Landmann is eligible for an article because she has been covered by biographers, but this travesty needs to be reduced by 99%. I could help as part of a team effort but it may be an uphill battle if we get reverted by the article's fans. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:28, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Doomsdayer520: from the bottom of the page you linked: "
Kiddle encyclopedia articles are based on selected content and facts from Wikipedia, edited or rewritten for children.
" The website seems to have copied their article from here, but they seem to be following Wikipedia's licensing terms judging by the attribution statement at the bottom. Definitely agree that our article needs an extensive rewrite though. Aranya (talk) 02:58, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Doomsdayer520: from the bottom of the page you linked: "
- Done, except for an issue with converting references to footnotes. I reduced the article to basic biographical facts, which made it probably 80% shorter. Most of it was about the general history of her religious group and deemed irrelevant for this one person's specific biography. I believe the whole thing was copied from a church publication. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:57, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
- The Carpentries
- tagged for linkrot and formatting issue;excessive detail likely needs a trim or rewrite. Aranya (talk) 19:46, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- WILDSTARtalk 02:45, 3 July 2021 (UTC) Partly done —
- Less Unless (talk) 10:56, 4 July 2021 (UTC) Partly done - trimmed a bit, added an advert tag - the article looks very promotional to me, but as I am not competent in the sphere, I'd prefer someone else take a look at it.
- Seijuu Sentai Gingaman - This article is among several other articles related to Super Sentai that contains original research and fancruft issues with issues for this dating back to March 2008. I would trim it myself but afraid to have the pitchforks from some fans come after me if the section detailing the characters and arsenal is better suitable for RangerWiki is trimmed down. But in my opinion, it seriously needs to be trimmed for general audiences to understand better. Pahiy (talk) 18:43, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
June
- Oxford English Dictionary - Many citations appear broken (e.g. [18]:xx). These may be referring to a specific page of the cited resource, and should be moved to into the citation as per WP:CITE. Also, any of the revisions of the OED mentioned in the text contain question marks (e.g. ?th impression). I don't have easy access to the find the correct revision numbers. aaPle (talk) 03:04, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- Insufficient justification - Needs slight adjustment in the tone of the article. It was written as if it was a school assignment. AbhigyaDahal (talk) 08:55, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
- Language interoperability - about programming language interoperability. An important concept with a low quality article. At least the grammar needs to be fixed, but it would be good to rewrite the entire thing. The section about VMs seems unrelated to me. Akeosnhaoe (talk) 06:14, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
Drako Motors - Manufacturer of electric sports cars. Reads entirely as an advertisement, and I feel that a lot of this article is impressive-sounding statistics that don't really mean anything, but I don't know anything about cars. Needs copyediting, and citations need re-formatting to have further information.Waxworker (talk) 08:40, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
- Aranya (talk) 15:54, 8 October 2021 (UTC) Partly done - reworded the lead and replaced and removed unnecessary sources. Not too comfortable working in this topic area, so I've added a new advert tag due to the excessive detail on their main product.
- Nickelodeon Toys - Toys manufactured by kids television network Nickelodeon. Lots of original research, I've already removed some unreliable sources like Pininterest and Reddit. Waxworker (talk) 15:21, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
- Listia - Online auction marketplace that uses credits instead of money. Lots of unreliable/primary refs and original research, I've already removed a bunch of links to individual auctions for Amazon gift cards. Waxworker (talk) 13:37, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
- HoneycrispApples (talk) 21:53, 5 June 2021 (UTC) Partly done Original research has been removed, still has a lot of primary refs though.

- Note: Partial strike. Requested template was added to the multiple issues template in 2017. — WILDSTARtalk 15:23, 13 June 2021 (UTC)
- Mega Man Maverick Hunter X - Needs expansion on the Plot and Gameplay headings, alongside some sentence rewrites. Shadowboxer2005 (talk) 02:03, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- SpaceX Starship - An article about in-development space rocket. Really long with no consistency, many grammartical errors and have a lot of unnesscesary details. It should be paid more attention as it have 20k+ view per day. DrifAssault (talk) 07:02, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- Nintendo Gamer - Defunct British gamaing magazine dedicated to Nintendo games and hardware. Original research and fancruft issues, I've already removed sections dedicated to recurring jokes and a table of the highest scoring games, but the 'sections/features' section still needs trimming. Waxworker (talk) 15:54, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
- Amiga Power - Defunct 90's British gaming magazine dedicated to the Amiga line of computers. Lots of original research, promotional tone issues, and a lot of fancruft, with a good chunk of the article focusing on recurring jokes in the magazine. Waxworker (talk) 15:43, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

- Bontang – Just undergo some restructuring and rewriting, need cleanup (idk what to cleanup tho but it looks a bit messy), thanks. Nyanardsan (talk) 22:21, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- Bradster763 (talk) 17:11, 1 May 2021 (UTC) Partly done Fixed spelling and grammar issues throughout the article.
- Dennis the Menace (U.S. comics) - An American comic strip about a mischievous boy named Dennis, not to be confused with a similar British strip of the same name. Fancruft and tone issues, as well as reliance on primary sources - a good chunk of the references on the article are the comic itself or unsuitable refs such as IMDB or the Grand Comics Database, which I'm not sure of the reliability of. I've already removed some particuilarly inappropriate refs such as links to search results on Bing. Waxworker (talk) 16:57, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- Schrödinger's cat in popular culture - Examples of the thought experiment Schrödinger's cat in pop culture. Excessive pop culture trivia that is uncited or cites itself, and there are inappropriate sources like Amazon and Facebook. I already removed an inappropriate section titled "merchandise", as it consisted of a bunch of links to buy shirts with Schrödinger's cat on them on sites like ThinkGeek. Waxworker (talk) 14:08, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
Comment: - How would everyone here feel about nominating this article for deletion? It breaks a lot of rules on indiscriminate fan trivia and unreliable sources.---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:46, 3 July 2021 (UTC)- The above suggestion has not attracted any support so it's off the table. The article seems to have some semi-regular editors who add things periodically, so cleaning it up might work better in the form of discussions with them at the article's talk page. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 20:44, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
- Jampack - "Jampack Demos & Videos Listed" is a strangely-formatted list that's difficult to read. Also, there are a few issues in the lead, I think. AdoTang (talk) 03:20, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Johnson_&_Johnson#Coronavirus_(COVID-19) - This section just sloppy. Tense errors like thinking September 2020's in the future. Lots of small paragraphs that were added when they were fresh. Poor transitions. In short, a lot of additions as the news came out, but it really needs to be thought through, molded into sensible paragraphs—stuff like that. Maybe it can just be stripped down since there's a full article about this? Thmazing (talk) 07:08, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- Gals Panic - A Japanese series of erotic games predominately released for arcades. Massive amounts of uncited gamecruft - article is insanely long for what it is. Waxworker (talk) 22:52, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hadas Thier - American socialist and book author. I thought about AfD, but she may be notable. The article definitely needs a cleanup. --Bbarmadillo (talk) 06:05, 3 April 2021 (UTC)
- Bbarmadillo (talk) 19:55, 25 April 2021 (UTC) Partly done Checked the publications and removed less important ones, checked book reviews and removed promo citations from the publisher. --
- Comment: Hi Viséan: The article has received some attention, on 3 April 2021 (UTC) from ThinkHat, which was denoted with an edit summary stating "Clean up" (diff). Did this address your concerns? North America1000 15:08, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

February
- Manuel Fal Conde - This article has multiple issues, it has a non-academic writing style, the chronology of this article is hard to follow, there are several grammatical or spelling errors. I think this article was translated from Spanish by a non-native speaker of English, as several definite articles are missing. Xwedodah (talk) 03:52, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
- Bbarmadillo (talk) 16:30, 5 March 2021 (UTC) Partly done checked the "External links" section and removed some sources. It is strange that the Spanish version of the article is 10 times shorter than the English one. --
- Thecho - Some sections are like lists. They need to be converted into the prose. Further, the article is unreferenced and citations should be added. –Kammill ⟨talk⟩ 08:51, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
- Marcelo Salas - this is an article about a very important footballer, but it is poorly written, and it seems like many parts were translated from Spanish literally.

Jan Metternich - German singer. Looks like WP:TOOSOON, but I may be wrong. Too many details.--Bbarmadillo (talk) 21:26, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

- Jasmine Dotiwala - British media executive. Article strays wildly from areas where the subject may be regarded as notable. Content is largely promotional & poorly structured. Stroness (talk) 19:41, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:37, 27 February 2021 (UTC) Partly done trimmed down promotion, added citation requests. A lot more cleanup is needed. --

- List of Tom and Jerry characters - List of characters in the cartoon Tom and Jerry. Massive amount of uncited fancruft and outright false information, such as giving names to unnamed characters and listing brief visual gags as a character in of themselves, as well as odd non-sequitur statements such as "There is some debate as to whether this is the genuine Clint Clobber as the original Clint would never be an outright animal abuser; he was just a put-upon grouch". A lot of the false information given seems to also be on the Tom & Jerry fandom wiki. Waxworker (talk) 07:42, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Note: Not all of it may be false information. There are nicknames to almost all the characters in the Tom and Jerry universe, so it's possible someone heard about these nicknames and put them in the page. So I would keep the normally unnamed characters in, but remove the breif visual gag characters as you said. Phantasm99 (talk) 18:50, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Here is an opinion from DGG: "I can't help thinking that the article is considerably excessive in view of the accomplishments. Perhaps it could be fixed by not including mere listings as awards, (and converting the table into a list--because of accessability problems tables as deprecated unless necessary), i moving those items in the bibliography that discuss her into references in the usual format, and possible decreasing the rather extreme number of references, too many of which are barely disguised PR, and from sources which are mainly devoted to publishing press releases" (expressed here). -- --Bbarmadillo (talk) 18:51, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
