Unremarkable coffee bar failing WP:NOTABILITY, most content is written by the owner. This is basically just a content marketing / SEO page. UKWikiGuy (talk) 04:29, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
    1. "這不是愛心靚湯，是外賣有機咖啡。" [This Is Not Heartwarming Soup, It's Takeaway Organic Coffee]. Eat and Travel Weekly [zh] (in Chinese). 2010-02-05. Archived from the original on 2011-07-18. Retrieved 2025-02-16.

      The article notes: "想不到，現在除了連鎖店賣有機咖啡有家位於鰂魚涌的小店Xen Coffee，基至在太古坊一帶速遞有機咖啡，只消打個電話或上網click幾下，便喝得到。最驚喜是，這些外賣咖啡不是用紙杯裝，而是平日盛湯水用的暖壺！打開新鮮熱辣香噴噴，喝完第三天，更有專人上門替你回收暖亞，貼心程度，媲美老媽煲的爱心老火湯。店主是對兄弟班，把有機咖啡當成湯水般外賣。是大哥Dixon的主意。... 店內幾款有機咖啡豆，全都是公平貿易產品。... 去年店子為響應「世界公平貿易日」，幾款公平咖啡破天荒不設訂價，讓客人「憑良心」付錢。"

      From Google Translate: "Surprisingly, in addition to chain stores selling organic coffee, there is a small shop called Xen Coffee in Quarry Bay that even delivers organic coffee in Taikoo Place. You can get it by just making a phone call or clicking a few times online. The most surprising thing is that these takeaway coffees are not served in paper cups, but in thermoses that are usually used for soup! It tastes fresh, hot and fragrant when you open it. On the third day after drinking it, someone will come to your door to collect the warm soup for you. It is so considerate that it is comparable to the loving traditional soup cooked by your mother. The shop owners are a group of brothers who serve organic coffee like soup. It was eldest brother Dixon's idea. ... The store has several types of organic coffee beans, all of which are fair trade products. ... Last year, in response to World Fair Trade Day, the store offered no set prices for several types of fair trade coffee for the first time, allowing customers to pay "according to their conscience"."

      The article notes: "位於地下小商場內的 Xen Coffee"是一業虹吸式咖啡（Syphon Coffee）惠門店，所講红吸，是由上下兩園玻城囊，和中間一塊濾紙（或連布）間格組成的簡單裝置，運用丽量的物理現象来系出一杯輕盈但純粹的咖啡，當熱水從下透騰平。"

      From Google Translate: "Located in a small underground shopping mall, Xen Coffee is a specialty shop offering Syphon Coffee. The 'syphon' refers to a simple device composed of two glass chambers stacked on top of each other, with a filter paper (or cloth) in between. It uses the principle of physical phenomena to brew a cup of coffee that is both light and pure, as hot water is drawn up from the lower chamber."

      The article notes: "年初開業的Xen Coffee（www.xencoffee.com）專外賣虹吸式（siphon）咖啡，借用外賣湯水的概念，在網站接受預訂，由專人以保溫壺將熱辣辣咖啡速遞送上辦公室。Xen Coffee以「優質 • 健康 • 環保 • 公平」為宗旨，揀選優質有機咖啡豆，並支持公平貿易，如危地馬拉公平咖啡（$32／杯；$56／壺），入口香醇，喝後有一陣回甘。目前Xen Coffee只在太古坊一帶（見地圖）提供速遞服務，其他地區的白領們可到其鰂魚涌地舖試試他們的手勢，兼享受美味蛋糕。負責人計劃稍後售賣健康飯盒，速遞服務會擴展至中環等黃金商區。"

      From Google Translate: "Xen Coffee (www.xencoffee.com), which opened at the beginning of the year, specializes in takeaway siphon coffee. Borrowing the concept of takeaway soup, it accepts reservations on the website and has a dedicated person deliver the hot coffee to the office in a thermos. Xen Coffee adheres to the principles of "high quality, health, environmental protection and fairness" and selects high-quality organic coffee beans and supports fair trade. Its products, such as Guatemala Fair Coffee ($32/cup; $56/pot), are mellow in the mouth and leave a sweet aftertaste. Currently, Xen Coffee only provides express delivery services in Taikoo Place (see map). White-collar workers from other areas can go to its ground floor shop in Quarry Bay to try out their gestures and enjoy delicious cakes. The person in charge plans to sell healthy lunch boxes later, and the express delivery service will be expanded to prime business districts such as Central."

      The article notes: "一杯香醇咖啡絕對是香港人難得take a break的補充劑。香港人習慣了喝意大利式咖啡，但在鰂魚涌一小商場內卻出現一家主打賣虹吸式咖啡的小店Xen。... 店內的單品咖啡只有9款，但貴精不貴多，常見的日式炭燒、極品的藍山都能找到，而且還引入兩款危地馬拉及埃塞俄比亞「公平貿易」咖啡，店主更重視煮咖啡的水源，故用上鑽石水以確保水質純正。擔心連那5分鐘等待的時間也沒有？只要早半小時打電話或直接在Xen的網站內訂購，可回收的真空壺便可送到寫字樓，不過外送服務暫時只限鰂魚涌區。"

      From Google Translate: "A cup of aromatic coffee is definitely a supplement for Hong Kong people to take a break. Hong Kong people are used to drinking Italian coffee, but in a small shopping mall in Quarry Bay, there is a small shop called Xen that specializes in selling siphon coffee. ... There are only 9 types of single-origin coffee in the store, but quality is more important than quantity. Common Japanese charcoal-roasted coffee and premium Blue Mountain coffee are all available. In addition, two types of "Fair Trade" coffee are introduced from Guatemala and Ethiopia. The owner pays more attention to the water source for brewing coffee, so he uses diamond water to ensure the purity of the water quality. Worried that you don’t even have the 5 minutes to wait? As long as you call half an hour in advance or order directly on Xen's website, the recyclable vacuum flask can be delivered to the office building, but the delivery service is currently only available in Quarry Bay."

      The article notes: "你可曾嘗過一杯沒定價，價錢由你話事的危地馬拉，或埃塞俄比亞咖啡豆所沖泡而成的香濃咖啡嗎？這是Xen Coffee 虹吸式咖啡專門店，為響應「世界公平貿易日」，而特別選取兩款公平貿易有機咖啡，供參與咖啡慶祝會的人享用。 像南山咖啡就帶有果酸，喜歡喝的人覺味道醇厚，但許多港人，或台灣人都不太愛喝它。而開這店，是想愛飲各種咖啡的人，可以不用「捐窿捐隙」。為方便客人，他們首創網上落單，收到指示後，把咖啡放入保暖壺內，再送到客人的手中。"

      From Google Translate: "Have you ever tasted a cup of fragrant coffee brewed from Guatemalan or Ethiopian coffee beans, with no price set by you? This is Xen Coffee, a siphon coffee shop. In response to World Fair Trade Day, it has specially selected two types of fair trade organic coffee for people participating in the coffee celebration to enjoy. For example, Nanshan coffee has a fruity acid taste, and people who like it feel it has a mellow flavor, but many Hong Kong or Taiwanese people don’t like to drink it. The purpose of opening this shop is to allow people who love to drink all kinds of coffee to have a place to do so without having to pay a lot of money. To facilitate the guests, they pioneered the online ordering system. After receiving the instructions, they put the coffee into a thermos and then delivered it to the guests."

    6. "Top coffe spots: Causeway Bay and Wan Chai". Time Out. Archived from the original on 2009-08-26. Retrieved 2025-02-16.

      The article notes: "Xen Coffee Xen’s humble basement digs aren’t much to look at. Your attention is instead diverted to the siphon-brewing process going on at the counter, a mesmerising four-minute show. The owner-operator, Dixon Ip, lovingly runs this eco-friendly coffee haven for local workers and residents. He prefers the siphon method for bringing out the different flavours of the bean; hence five out of the seven roasts on the menu are of single origin. Strangely for a café, we smelt no coffee aroma – the physics behind siphoning ensures everything from the bean is contained within the drink. By concentrating exclusively on the perfect cup of brewed coffee, Xen has succeeded in giving customers exactly that. Shop K12, Manly Plaza, 997 King’s Rd, Quarry Bay, 2960 1388; www.xencoffee.com. Manager’s special: Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia (organic and fair-trade) is a medium roast with a long-lasting taste and a sweet and floral aroma with hints of muscatel. $26."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Xen Coffee to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

Bhavishya Malika Puran

Procedural nom on behalf of @Kharavela Deva: whose nomination was: "The article's neutrality is disputed. Less coverage, non-reliable sources,no verifibility and also AI-generated content. It may broke WP:V,WP:N,WP:D" I am neutral Star Mississippi 00:32, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Literature and India. Star Mississippi 00:32, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The article doesn't seems to be totally AI generated, see [2]. Also, The previous AfD reason which was written by them was 100% AI generated, [3] it was also noted by Jynixafy [4] Koshuri (グ) 08:18, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I find it hard to assess notability of recent Indian topics, per WP:NEWSORGINDIA. As far as this book is concerned, I would think it possible that the original text by Achyutananda Dasa could be notable, or at least worth including information about it in the article about him (though I note that article says that he "wrote numerous books, many of which could be loosely translated as the Book of Prophecies"). Trying to assess the refs in this article: (1) is a video, so inaccessible to anyone who does not know Hindi; (2) is unreliable (at the end is "Disclaimer. The above information is based on various sources. Webdunia does not officially confirm it." It does not mention the 2023 book, just the text by Achyutananda Dasa. (3) does not mention the 2023 book either. (4) does say it's a review of Bhavishya Malika Puran translated into Hindi language by Pandit Shri Kashinath Mishra in 2023, but just repeats the same summary of the predictions as other refs do. (5) does not mention the 2023 book either. (10) in English is by someone who says "I am enthusiastic blogger & SEO expert." Probably not reliable, but does end the review by saying "Bhavishya Malika’s Authenticity: Some people are not sure if the Bhavishya Malika is genuine. We don’t really know where it came from or who wrote it, and some experts think it might be a more recent creation. Different Interpretations: The things written in the Bhavishya Malika can be understood in different ways. So, people might read the same text and come up with different predictions. Accuracy of Predictions: There’s no scientific proof that the predictions in the Bhavishya Malika are correct. It’s impossible to predict the future with complete certainty." This review also has a summary of positive and negative predictions in the book. If this article is kept, it should include information about the book's reception and critiques of it, not just repeat its predictions. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:16, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Difference defined The book supports unreliable sources. In my opinion, it is surely a religious pseudo-scientific book written by Achyutananda Dasa and it is wrongly translated by Mr. Kashinath Mishra. Even though I am from Indian state Odisha and worship Sri Achyutananda ji, I will call it a pseudo-scientific book. The Srimad Bhavishya Malika and it wrongly translated version Bhavisya Malika Purana should be differentiated.  Regards,Ved Sharma (talk) (contribs) 12:52, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The book is backed with many reliable sources which is meeting WP:NBOOK. And it is reviewed by many notable websites such as ABP Live, Webdunia, and Zee News Rajeev Gaur123 (talk) 10:56, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: per nom. Also, reading the article, it says published by Notion Press, which seems self-publication press. Asteramellus (talk) 01:51, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

At risk of going against WP:DINC, I think this article as well as List of mutual-fund families in the United States should be up for discussion. These articles are vastly outdated, entirely lacking sources, and seem to now only serve as an advertising platform for these mutual funds. I'm not too sure whether they ought to be deleted, or redirected to List of asset management firms. Kylemahar902 (talk) 01:19, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article was moved to draft as it lacked sources. It was moved back to mainspace four months later with no sources added. Subject is not WP:NOTABLE, had not won any awards, and has no WP:SIGCOV. External links are either broken, minor mentions or insignificant interviews, user-sourced databases, or spam. BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 00:54, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Per WP:ANYBIO. No sourcing. The external links are pornography sites. Based on her un-cited date of birth of 1989, she would appear to be 36 years old. Given that, the claim that "She has filmed more than 100 films as an actress" would indicate they are all short-length porn films - as opposed to cinema-length films. But no sourcing to verify any of that. — Maile (talk) 02:29, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated by 99.142.64.153 (talk · contribs) for the following reason:

I feel she should be deleted because I couldn't find any sources that mention her competing in any Olympic events and she doesn't seem to have any coverage from local events either. I don't think this article should exist just because she was nominated for an Olympic team.

This is a procedural nomination; I am neutral. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:51, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
