I'm not sure how exactly to format the reply, but I think it is notable due to extensive media coverage in the middle east, and a season article was created due to plans that this will be a biannual tournament to accompany the senior men's tournament. Exhibition matches and tournments have wikipedia articles if they are notable, such as Soccer Aid, Sidemen Charity Match, and 2025 NBA All-Star Game amongst many others Alitheboss55 (talk) 20:34, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV, as most references focus on Lanistar and its FCA issues rather than him. The article also suffers from REFBOMB, creating a false sense of notability. With no in-depth, independent coverage about him, it fails to meet the inclusion criteria. Herinalian (talk) 19:46, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople, Cryptocurrency, Finance, Technology, and England. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:53, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Although Gurhan Kiziloz is not independently notable, Lanistar appears to meet notability criteria due to significant coverage. However, most sources are critical of Lanistar, highlighting its fishy marketing campaign[4] and its involvement with Gavin Williamson[5]. A separate article on the company may be more appropriate. Herinalian (talk) 20:00, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- The comment suggesting that Gurhan Kiziloz is not linked to Lanistar and should have separate Wikipedia pages is incorrect and misrepresents the available evidence. Multiple reliable sources clearly establish Kiziloz's integral connection to Lanistar:
- Gurhan Kiziloz is unequivocally linked with Lanistar:
- Kiziloz founded Lanistar in 2019 and served as its CEO[1].
- He was known as "G" by Lanistar staff and owned 93% of the company[2].
- Even after stepping down as CEO, Kiziloz remained involved with Lanistar, seeking investors in Dubai[3].
- Characterizing coverage of Lanistar's marketing campaigns as merely "fishy" understates the significance of the regulatory and ethical concerns raised by reputable sources:
- The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) issued a formal warning about Lanistar, stating it believed the company was "carrying on regulated activities which require authorisation"[4].
- The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled against Lanistar for making misleading claims about its product's security[5].
- Major publications like Financial News, The Jerusalem Post, and Fintech Finance News have reported extensively on Lanistar's controversial practices and regulatory issues[6][7].
- These sources demonstrate that Kiziloz's connection to Lanistar is significant and well-documented, and that the company's practices have faced serious scrutiny from regulatory bodies and respected media outlets. The Wikipedia article should reflect this comprehensive and nuanced coverage from reliable sources. JboothFN (talk) 20:47, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. This is one of those situations where the online sourcing is scanty but does point towards there being far more sourcing offline. A search in Croatian (in which I am not even remotely fluent) brings up quite a few hits. Most are in snippet view, but ones like this and this give off the impression that they go into some depth. We'd need someone with access to the book (and fluent in Croatian) to verify this. In this situation it seems like this is one of those situations where sourcing just wasn't uploaded online - something fairly common with pre-internet coverage. The article is likely going to be kept in a fairly stubby state, but the film is likely notable.
- Now, an option here is that we could do a further revamp - instead of focusing on either films, we could make the article about the play and include some information about the films. The play is lauded as one of the playwright's most well known works but suffers from a similar issue in that a lot of the sourcing doesn't appear to be online. I think we could merge these all into a single article covering the play and films - that way we have coverage of a notable topic and what we have won't overwhelm the playwright's article with a lot of info on a single play. Mushy Yank - you did a lot of work on the page so I don't want to do this without running it by you first. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 18:54, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

WP:DRAFTOBJECT prevents me from returning this to draft unilaterally. I am unsure that would be my preferred action now it is in mainspace. Jenkins is presented as a good but WP:ROTM journalist doing his job. Many, most, of the references are his work, but they are not reviews of him nor his work, thus they provide no verification of any putative notability. WP:V is a key tenet of Wikipedia and is not satisfied. As presented and referenced I cannot see a pass of WP:BIO.

- The article has been substantially rewritten to clearly demonstrate the subject's notability through multiple independent sources. It now includes national press reviews from The Guardian, The Sunday Times, The Independent, and Radio Times, industry-recognized awards such as the One World Broadcast Trust Award and the Sony Radio Award, and evidence of significant contributions to public debate, including testimony before the House of Lords Select Committee on data protection. Given these factors, the subject meets Wikipedia’s notability criteria for journalists and media figures Frobisher2021 (talk) 13:48, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- Comment I see this as an opinion that this be kept, and not draftified.
- I am slightly saddened about this. Of the references that I can access, two only point to an award, which might confer notability. The others are simple evidence of Jenkins doing his job, which cannot verify notability. One is a programme listing, which shows that he has a programme, and another does not mention him. I have not changed my view, nor my willingness to accept a request to return this to draft as an outcome of this discussion. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:55, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- Some citations are intended to verify that Jenkins produced or presented the programmes mentioned. In such cases, a programme listing is a valid source, as it confirms authorship and broadcast history. If there is a specific citation where Jenkins is not mentioned, I would appreciate clarification so it can be corrected.
- Regarding notability, multiple citations go beyond listings and are national press reviews from The Guardian, The Times, The Independent, and Radio Times. The consistent critical acclaim over decades from respected critics (e.g., Gillian Reynolds provides strong evidence of notability, as it is not just passing praise, but exemplary recognition, going beyond “run of the mill”. If more evidence of this is required, it can be provided.
- Additionally, Jenkins was Deputy Editor of the New Statesman, a major political magazine. His work has been frequently cited in peer-reviewed academic research and journalism studies, including publications like the British Journalism Review, Index on Censorship, and the scholarly book Investigating Corporate Corruption (Taylor & Francis). These citations further demonstrate his impact on journalism and public discourse. A section on this could be added.
- Regarding awards, while only two currently have citations, further research is likely to provide more. The fact that industry-recognized awards cannot so far be backed up by citation in itself is not a reason for deletion, especially given the additional press and academic recognition.
- Finally, if the objection is based on access to citations, Wikipedia's verifiability policy explicitly allows print sources, even if they are not personally accessible to all editors. Many of these sources are accessible through newspaper archives (e.g., Newspapers.com, The British Library), and all are fully formatted with author, title, and date, allowing verification through standard research methods.

- Delete - I left this for this long in case the creator would agree to draftify, but that is not going to happen. In fact there is little point draftifying what is currently, and likely to remain, a non notable journalist. The problem with the sourcing has been explained by the nom., but to be clear: sources must not just be from reliable sources, they must have significant subject of the page subject (such that the page can be written) and, importantly, they must be independent. Interviews are not independent. Their own work and listsings of their work are not independent. There needs to be independent sources that speak about this journalist, demonstrating notability. We don't have that. So sourcing is lacking. We also have no indication of notability from any of the WP:NJOURNALIST criteria. The discussion of awards would be a criterion under WP:ANYBIO which states, under criterion 1, likely notability if
The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor, or has been nominated for such an award several times
. "Well-known" and "significant" are where this falls down, and that is even supposing those awards are for the journalist (some are) and not for the programme team (as, for instance, here [6] ). So there is no pass of ANYBIO on criterion 1. Even if there were, ANYBIO is only a refutable indication of notability, and the lack of sources that talk about Jenkins is the real reason that we should not be covering this. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 15:47, 20 February 2025 (UTC)- Well I would agree to draftify but I don't know how. Please take this as my assent. I am puzzled by your comments, which is not to say that I disagree with them but I simply do not understand.
- I don't think any of the sources are interviews, so I don't see how that objection applies.
- When you say "their own work or listings of their work are not independent" - but surely a listing of a work on a BBC website is sufficient to demonstrate that the work exists and that the subject was producer and/or presenter of it? (Because the listings say so and the BBC is authoritative on this point)
- When you say that "There needs to be independent sources that speak about this journalist, demonstrating notability" surely multiple reviews from independent reviewers in the national press, which refer to Jenkins by name, in terms that make it clear that they consider his work to be notable, demonstrate exactly that? Again I am trying to understand, not argue.
- On the awards, there are citations for all but two. The Radio Academy (Sony) awards are as significant as they come, and the others are (or were) major industry awards. It is true that broadcast journalism awards are given to programmes and not individuals, but in the case of the one you link to, Jenkins is both presenter and producer, i.e. the entire team. This is true of many of the other ones too. In the case of File on 4, each episode had two journalists (producer and reporter) as the BBC listings show. So the credit would be equally shared.

- Keep per references provided by Svatner and others. I reject JoelleJay’s characterization of ref 8 as
shallow stats, not secondary analysis
as it provides coverage of the subject’s career to that point, beyond simple stats. Some of the remaining sources can be pieced together to get this past the GNG finish line. Per WP:NBIO,if the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability
. Frank Anchor 15:05, 15 February 2025 (UTC)- Ref 8 says
Fernando was signed by Caxias in November last year . Before that, he played for Figueirense, Grêmio Barueri, Criciúma, Moto Club, Luverdense, Deportivo Tepic, from Mexico, Itumbiara, Boa Esporte, Joinville, Brasil de Pelotas and Cascavel. This year, he played in 29 matches, 28 of which as a starter. In the Gaucho runner-up position , he played in 12 matches. In the Série D, he played in 17 matches. In fact, the defender was the team captain at various times this season.
Literally nothing in there has any depth of coverage; it's all stats one could glean from his transfermarkt profile. Nothing whatsoever useful for a biography. JoelleJay (talk) 21:04, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- Ref 8 says
- Frank Anchor is somehow correct. As long as the routine story provides more details about a specific than announcement, it can be used, but multiple sources containing significant coverage are required. ⋆。˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚。⋆ 12:24, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- I see several sentences with more-than-routine details of Fonseca's career. In addition, the requirement of multiple GNG-required sources can be circumvented by pieceing together information presented in other sources, as specifically allowed by WP:NBIO (see my comment above including relevant excerpt from that guideline). Frank Anchor 14:28, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- ? Where is that in the guidelines? Merely having additional details does not make something automatically SIGCOV, especially if it's simple prosifying of stats. This also really isn't "more details" than you get in routine coverage of announcements (which is explicitly listed in NOTNEWS). JoelleJay (talk) 18:15, 17 February 2025 (UTC)
- You left out the rest of the sentence you quoted from NBIO:
trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.
None of the other independent sources offer more than passing mentions. JoelleJay (talk) 18:18, 17 February 2025 (UTC)- I left that out because it is not relevant here. The info surrounding transfer announcements (which are NOT primary in most cases as they are derived from and are not exact copies of the press release), along with some coverage provided by Svartner add a few sentences here-and-there of non-trivial coverage which compliments Ref 8 which was called out above. Frank Anchor 17:20, 18 February 2025 (UTC)
- It is most certainly relevant here... WP:N says
It is common for multiple newspapers or journals to publish the same story, sometimes with minor alterations or different headlines, but one story does not constitute multiple works. Several journals simultaneously publishing different articles does not always constitute multiple works, especially when the authors are relying on the same sources, and merely restating the same information.
The info in the transfer announcements, in addition to being routine (For example, routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities, while sometimes useful, is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject of that coverage
andMoreover, not all coverage in reliable sources constitutes evidence of notability for the purposes of article creation; for example [...] announcements columns [...] are all examples of coverage that may not actually support notability when examined, despite their existence as reliable sources

The article creator added his name to the main cast of I Woke Up a Vampire with citations, but I am wondering whether this is accurate. I cannot find either him or his character mentioned in plot synopses or independent reviews, and he isn't listed in the IMDb credits at all.

- Delete or redirect to state list. Insufficient coverage in local media. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 17:32, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: given the current lack of any mention on the list of radio stations in California, that might be the path of least resistance here. Since the soft-deletion ineligibility and resulting relisting stemmed from being the recreation of a previous PROD deletion (which the recreator acknowledged as such from the start), I mostly wanted to point out the rationale from that 2007 PROD:
Article does not establish notability, and low-power FM radio stations in the US are generally non-notable.
That stance, which may well be in-line with how LPFM notability (or lack thereof) is perceived in 2025, wasn't exactly widely shared in this topic area in 2007–2008 (an era of lower inclusion standards that generally assumed that merely having an FCC license at all was a sign of notability, without bothering to move on to confirming whether there was any significant coverage to back that up), or to some extent at any point before the 2021 RfC that confirmed the GNG as the notability barometer here.

Not sure if those can or should be enough (I'm not offering an opinion at this time), but that is not exactly "no sources" either.

I'm not sure this actually needs a standalone article. What's here is pretty threadbare, being limited to a plot summary and a brief overview of the episode's production, and both of these feel like they can easily be covered within the main Knuckles article. The only sources I can find that aren't already incorporated here concern the Sonic '06 reference ([13], [14]) which seems like it can easily be covered in the "Legacy" section of the '06 article, and/or within a brief sentence in the "Reception" section of the Knuckles series article, and a Daily Dot article about the episode... not even really the episode, just the episode's title, becoming a short-lived Twitter meme ([15]), which I don't think is notable enough to mention anywhere at all.
Overall, I think I would favor merging this article's content into Knuckles (TV series), and then redirecting the title to either Knuckles (TV series)#Episodes or Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game)#Plot, depending on which one we think someone searching for "The Flames of Disaster" would be more plausibly expecting to see. silviaASH (inquire within) 10:22, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

- Keep sources show the battle being a topic that is covered.. it is also notable because it is where KLA fighter Luan Haradinaj was killed. There are many articles about the war in same style that were created which are not maybe major but which are listed as KLA or Albanian victory like Anadrinë offensive, Surkis ambush.

- Anadrinë offensive and Battle of Jezerc started the "frontal-war" in their respective regions; Anadrinë offensive for the Paštrik and Anadrinë region while Battle of Jezerc for the Ferizaj and Neredimë region. Battle of Rezalla was the first large-scale battle of the entire Kosovo conflict so for "Kosovo War-standards" they are pretty notable.

- Keep: Meets WP:CREATIVE Various sources discuss his work for very notable films, especially Phantom of Paradise and Carrie, indeed. They include Mitchell, N. (2014). Carrie Liverpool University Press, p. 39; De Palma, B. (2003). Brian De Palma : interview University Press of Mississippi. p 41; The New Yorker. (1976) Volume 52/6 - Page 183; Bouzereau, L. (1988). The DePalma cut: the films of America's most controversial director New York: Dembner Books, p. 44 -Mushy Yank. 08:25, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Could you share what those sources say as viable third party coverage? I found the first and second but I was unable to read them. In a review of the first book which I could read, De Palma is mentioned often but Auer wasn't mentioned at all which strikes me as the reviewer not finding mentions of Auer enough to be notable. I am all for keeping more pages on Wikipedia, given enough content and notability. Moritoriko (talk) 08:41, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- The first evokes the films he has worked on; the second is BdP saying why and how he worked with him and how much he appreciates his work, the third indicates the importance of his work in Carrie, the fourth indicates how he worked on the supernatural forces in Carrie. MANY other sources in various languages (EN, FR, IT, etc) indicate his work for Carrie was important in making the film what it is. -Mushy Yank. 10:05, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Alright, after further digging I was able to find the 3 books (no dice on The New Yorker) and I strongly disagree that any of those 3 offer enough to meet the criteria. In Interviews he talks about his production secretary, Wendy Bartel, as much as he talked about Auer. I'm very impressed with how you were able to find those references to his name but I am sticking with Delete. Moritoriko (talk) 11:29, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

- I'm going to try to find more sourcing to back up your argument. Offhand I'll say this - I've actually heard of the guy and he's been dead since the 90s. He's somewhat known in the horror/exploitation flick crowd, since he did the effects on some pretty major movies in the genre (Carrie, Dirty Marry Crazy Larry, Phantom of the Paradise).
- Offhand I did find this review from the New Yorker that mentions his work in Carrie. I think we should count reviews like this towards notability because well, individual special effects people typically don't get mentioned in sources unless they've made a name for themselves. They don't get the big attention unless they manage to make it super big ala Tom Savini (or dip their toes into other fields more likely to get sourcing - also ala Tom Savini). My point is that special effects people are part of a group that's kind of like educators - we need to take the smaller mentions into consideration.
- Other than that, I do think the obituary could be usable. It's not written by the family or the funeral home - it mentions services, but it looks like it was written by an unrelated journalist. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 15:12, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- In this book it's specifically mentioned that Auer's work in Carrie was imitated by other, subsequent horror films - implying that he's made an impact on his field. I'll see if I can find other things beyond Carrie, of course. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 15:21, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- At bare minimum I think we should at least redirect with history to the film article for Carrie - that seems to be what is bringing up the most promising results. I could swear there's more out there and that I've seen mention of him in various RS, it's just not coming up for me. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 15:34, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Delete or merge and redirect to Lord Byng Secondary School, per WP:ORG and WP:PROMO.
The Byng Arts Mini Program is a notable part of the school and the Vancouver school system, but it is not significant enough on its own to merit a separate article. The Vancouver school district has many other mini school programs in other schools, and while the Byng Arts Mini Program has unique aspects to it, the coverage available isn't enough to establish it as especially notable.
The version of this article before I edited it had two in-line citations; most of the article has been unsourced for over a decade and a half. Although more sources were added for existing content on the day of this nomination, most of the article remains unsourced and reads like a directory or guide for applicants to the program. This is not what Wikipedia is for, and the Byng Arts website serves this purpose already and in a more detailed manner.
If a merger is decided, reliably sourced and encyclopedic content should be merged into the Lord Byng Secondary School article. Merged material should also be checked for 'academic boosterism', which I would argue is present throughout the near entirety of the article. Yue🌙 05:47, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Fictional prison from Marvel/Spiderman verse. Pure plot summary and list of appearances. No reception, analysis, etc. The topic also has a section in Features of Spider-Man media (a problematic article that is currently discussed in its own AfD). I doubt we need even a single mention of this on Wikipedia outside a plot summary in some Spider-Man arc or comic; we certainly don't need two. This could be ATD-R to the mentioned article, but IMHO that one should be deleted as well, so... shrug. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:16, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect to Features of Spider-Man media. Though that article is up for AfD right now, the content will likely be merged to another article if merged, or kept around if kept, so I'm comfortable leaving a redirect here. Features of the Marvel Universe is also a decent merge target should that article be kept, but it's a bit up in the air right now given all these AfDs are active at the same time.

Both are covering this topic. But they could benefit from some references here.

- I don't presume to speak for Daranios who I am sure will correct me if I am wrong, but I am assuming they agree the nominating topic is not notable and should be merged/redirect somewhere, with the best target being in the air for now, depending on whether the other mentioned article or articles survives the AfD or not.

Last AfD in 2017 was no consensus. I tend to agree with one of the delete voters' comments from last time "Lacks reviews, sales, charting, depth of coverage.

I've done enough new page patrolling to have my spidey sense go off whenever I see a BLP by a single-purpose account about someone described as "keynote speaker, consultant and coach" with a copyright infringing photo.... and this biography (which is basically WP:ADMASQ for the subject's book and consulting practices) is no exception. I do not find any notability pass for this individual. A quick review of sources: WP:PRIMARYSOURCE bios/event descriptions ([20], [21], [22], [23]), Q&A-based WP:INTERVIEWS ([24], [25]), and an apparently self-published blog post summarizing a university group's book club reflections on the subject's book. In my WP:BEFORE search, I found only one independent, reliable source review of her book, so I don't see a WP:NAUTHOR pass. I didn't find WP:SIGCOV in independent, reliable sources for a WP:GNG pass.

Interesting one. I am removing a CSD tag that states, in essence, that the article is a hoax. The problem is that there are sources, albeit weak ones that appear to be motivated by a particular interpretation of history because it supports their religious beliefs. If we decide to keep an article on this topic we would want coverage of the possibility that the subject battle never took place.

- Weakness is definitely a consideration. The first source is the defunct WWW site of a catholic church in Pennsylvania. However, there's an 1899 source by François Nau (Opuscules maronites) that talks about "combat près d'Amioun" and in its turn sources the claim to the writings of Étienne Douaïhi d'Ehden, so this might need more scrutiny than just outright dismissal for being mostly sourced to a dead anonymously-written inexpert early 2000s WWW site, although there's still the possibility that al-Duwayhi invented this and Nau offers scant independent corroboration.

- Keep: I have added additional sources backing the documentation of the battle. The claim that the subject only exists because of certain authors backgrounds is problematic in it of itself but has little strength unless one were to argue that Gibbons, Hitti, Sandrussi, Selim and Encyclopedia Britannica were all Maronite apologists. The prerequisite of the battle not happening or else it will be deleted does not have any justification and seems to just be an excuse to delete the page.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This is an old Wiki Ambassador Program article, and has all the worst tendencies of such articles. Issues are as follows:
- Though the titular subject is a notable one, it's not clear why it should be separate from History of education in Kentucky
- The text is of low quality and reads very much like a high school paper, not like a proper WP article. It's basically a long three-point essay.
- It's at least a decade out of date.
- It contains no discussion of important topics like the very important 1990s education reform, the CATS test and its successors, or the 2024 referendum, apart from one sentence at the begining
- It makes vague statements about AP classes not specific to the topic, or summarizes old opinion pieces, without providing any useful information.
- Sources range from mediocre (local news articles) to abysmal. One of them now links to a spam site.
There is no part of this article that would be worth incorporating into the history article, nor any other article, nor to any future rewrite of this article. Any editor who wishes to write a coverage of this topic, and the relevant points in #4, would be better off expanding History of education in Kentucky#Since 1990. Nicknimh (talk) 01:33, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

- Delete This is a badly-hidden WP:COATRACK for charter/voucher school programs and forced AP programs and outside of that just is unabashed activism to remove power from the Kentucky Department of Education to pacify special interests.

This minor, non-fatal airline incident fails WP:NEVENT. It got a burst of (mostly tabloid) coverage in the few days after the event, but there is no WP:LASTING effect or WP:SUSTAINED coverage.

- Delete. This event seems to have had no lasting effects and no sustained coverage. The most recent source seems to be this SCMP article from two weeks after the incident; the article mentions no lasting effects beyond: "After the incident, the head and deputy of Taizhou’s civil aviation administration were suspended from their duties." Since the creator is a blocked sock and the article has been thoroughly refbombed, including with a source about a completely different incident, I will not do my own search for sources.

Does not pass WP:NEVENT. The coverage is not WP:INDEPTH enough to write a satisfactory article, and the coverage is not particularly sustained. Nothing between sentencing and incident, or since. On the balance of things this does not pass our guidelines and there is not enough to write a decent article. This wasn't even intentional, they sentenced him over intoxication manslaughter, so I would oppose merging it to any attack list. We could probably merge it for two sentences to Brownsville, Texas#21st century, because it seems locally significant, but there isn't anything to say besides it happened, no background or aftermath, etc. PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:33, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

- Three problems with merging: (1) from past discussions, closers can't and won't do that unless someone takes the time to create the target article, (ii) decade articles are normally done from the start of a decade to the end (e.g., 2010-2019), and in this case we don't have a run of articles that covers a full decade, and (iii) even a decade article has to have some level of SIGCOV, and I'm not sure it exists on this progrm.

There's only one person with the surname. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:18, 20 February 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: The corresponding German article at de:Jauer has more people. de:Nikolaus Magni von Jauer treats Jauer as a surname, although the English article Nicholas Magni does not. The person was born in Jawor (German: Jauer), which explains that instance of the surname. An alternative to deletion would be to merge this into Jauer (disambiguation), but that's propbably not necessary given the other names shown in the corresponding German page.
