Wikipedia:Requests for deletion
Then follow these instructions on how to request a page for deletion. To find more information on what discussed deletions and quick deletions are:
PLEASE READ THIS
Before nominating: checks and alternatives
changePrior to nominating article(s) for deletion, please be sure to:
- A. Read and understand these policies and guidelines
- The Wikipedia deletion policy, which explains valid grounds for deletion.
- The main four guidelines and policies that inform deletion discussions: notability (WP:N), verifiability (WP:V), reliable sources (WP:RS), and what Wikipedia is not (WP:NOT)
- Subject-specific notability guidelines, which can be found at Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines
- B. Carry out these checks
- Confirm that the article does not meet the criteria for quick deletion.
- If there are verifiability, notability or other sourcing concerns, take reasonable steps to search for reliable sources. (See step D.)
- Review the article's history to check for potential vandalism or poor editing.
- Read the article's talk page for previous nominations and/or that your objections haven't already been dealt with.
- Check "What links here" in the article's sidebar, to see how the page is used and referenced within Wikipedia.
- Check if there are interlanguage links, also in the sidebar, which may lead to more developed and better sourced articles. Likewise, search for native-language sources if the subject has a name in a non-Latin alphabet (such as Japanese or Greek), which is often in the lead.
- C. Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted
- If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for RfD.
- If the article was recently created, please consider allowing the contributors more time to develop the article.
- If an article has issues try first raising your concerns on the article's talk page, with the main contributors, and/or adding a cleanup tag, such as
{{notability}}
,{{hoax}}
,{{original research}}
, or{{advert}}
; this ensures readers are aware of the problem and may act to fix it. - If the topic is not important enough to merit an article on its own, consider merging or redirecting to an existing article. This should be done particularly if the topic name is a likely search term.
- D. Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability
- The minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Books search, a Google News search, and a Google News archive search; Google Scholar is suggested for academic subjects.
- If you find a lack of sources, you've completed basic due diligence before nominating. However, if a quick search does find sources, this does not always mean an RfD on a sourcing basis is unwarranted. If you spend more time examining the sources, and determine that they are insufficient, e.g., because they only contain passing mention of the topic, then an RfD nomination may still be appropriate.
- If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination. Instead, you should consider citing the sources, or at minimum apply an appropriate template to the page that flags the sourcing concern. Common templates include {{unreferenced}}, {{refimprove}}, {{third-party}}, {{primary sources}} and {{one source}}.
Discussed deletion
change- Click "Change source" at the top of the page to be deleted.
- In the edit box, add this tag: {{rfd|REASON}}. Put it at the top of the page, above the rest of the text. Then, replace the text "REASON" with a short reason why the page should be deleted. Do not be too specific here. You can add more details on the discussion page (see below).
- It is a good idea to write a change summary to let others know what you are doing. You can say "nominating for deletion", "requesting deletion", or something like that.
- Click "Save changes" at the bottom to save the page with the deletion tag at the top.
- If the deletion tag has been added to the page, a box should appear at the top of the article with a link saying "Click here to create a discussion page!" Click that link.
- You should be taken to a page starting with "Creating Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/..." along with the current year and the name of the article to be deleted. In the edit box, the following tag should have already been added: {{RfD/Preload/Template}} . Replace the text PLACE REASON HERE with a more detailed reason why the page should be deleted.
- It is helpful to include links to the various policy pages about Wikipedia (that begin with Wikipedia:). Here are some examples of this: "This article is [[Wikipedia:COMPLEX|not easy to understand]]" or "Not a [[Wikipedia:notable|notable]] topic''. This will make others more aware of why the page is not acceptable under Wikipedia's policies.
- Click "Save changes" to save the new discussion page when you are done.
- A change summary you can write for this page is "creating discussion page", "starting deletion discussion", or something like that.
- As with the page for deletion, you can check the "Watch the page" box. This will let you know if someone else has replied to your discussion.
- Copy the title of the discussion page to the clipboard. You can do this by dragging the mouse over the text from "Wikipedia" to the end of the page title to highlight it, then right-clicking and selecting "Copy".
- Go to the list of deletion requests, and click "change source" beside the words "Current deletion request discussions".
- At the top of the list of discussions, paste the title from the clipboard (right-click and select "Paste"). Add a pair of curly brackets before and after the title to make a template that will copy the content of the discussion page onto the main deletion page, like this:
- {{Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2024/(name of page to be deleted)}}
- Finally, click "Save changes" to add the discussion to the list. If the page saves successfully, you should see your deletion discussion at the top of the list. And that's it!
If this is too complicated for you, there are some gadgets like Twinkle that you can use. This allows you to do it faster.
Quick deletion
changeIf you think a page has nonsense content, add {{non}} to the top of the page.
If you think a page does not say why the subject is important, add {{notable}} to the top of the page.
If you think a page should be deleted per other quick deletion rules, add {{QD|reason}} to the top of the page.
Notifying the user
changeGenerally, you should try to be civil and tell the user that created the page to join the discussion talking about the page. This can be done by adding {{subst:RFDNote|page to be deleted}} ~~~~
to the bottom of their talkpage.
Discussions
change- The discussion is not a vote. Please make suggestions on what action to take, and support your suggestion with reasons.
- Please look at the article before you make a suggestion. Do not make an opinion using only the information given by the nominator. Looking at the history of the article may help to understand the situation.
- Please read other comments and suggestions. They may have helpful information.
- Start your comments or suggestions on a new line. Start with
*
and sign after your comment by adding~~~~
to the end. If you are responding to another editor, put your comment directly below theirs and make sure your comment is indented (using more than one*
). - New users can make suggestions, but their ideas may not be considered, especially if the suggestion seems to be made in bad faith. The opinion of users who had an account before the start of the request may be given more weight or importance.
- Suggestions by users using "sock puppets" (more than one account belonging to the same person) will not be counted.
- Please make only one suggestion. If you change your mind, change your first idea instead of adding a new one. The best way to do this is to put
<s>
before your old idea and</s>
after it. For example, if you wanted to delete an article but now think it should be kept, you could put: "Deletekeep". - If you would like an article to be kept, you can improve the article and try to fix the problems given in the request for deletion. If the reasons given in the nomination are fixed by changing, the nomination can be withdrawn by the nominator, and the deletion discussion will be closed by an administrator.
- Try to avoid confusing suggestions, such as delete and merge.
- Requests for deletion is not a war zone. You can click here for more information, although the page is not in Simple English.
Remember: You do not have to make a suggestion for every nomination. You should think about not making a suggestion if:
- A nomination involves a topic that you do not know much about.
- Everyone has made the same suggestion and you agree with that suggestion.
- All times are in UTC.

Auntof6 has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: I don't think this navbox is particularly useful. It links every area code article, but it doesn't seem helpful to navigate between different area codes this way. The user who created it put it on only one article. I asked them to put it on all the linked articles, rather than just the one, but that user is now indeffed so they won't be doing that. One area code is pretty much like another. We do have Template:Area code list that does this in a more controlled way, so maybe that's enough. Auntof6 (talk) 23:06, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

is a reasonable claim to notability, even if it does not show notability in terms of guidelines.

Auntof6 has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Nominating a template that duplicates the function of two other templates. This is the configurable template for Latin American and the Caribbean. Its functions are covered by the templates Template:North America topic and Template:South America topic. I think we do better when we categorize by continent rather than by region.
The template is currently used only by National symbols of Mexico, which also has the North America template on it. See Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2016/Template:Latin America topic for an RfD where a similar template was deleted. Auntof6 (talk) 09:12, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

change- Keep is what i am leaning toward.--Two templates sometimes overlap.--I find this template quite helpful, as i live in Europe (and i have often heard about South America and North America being 'one continent together').--Where things get difficult, are the countries in the Gulf of Mexico, and countries in the oceans.--User:AuntOfSix voices a concern - and it is not without reason.--I have noticed 'my own, similar concerns' about Templates about rocket flights into space; On the face of it, there seems to be too many.--My attitude until now, has been that, 'Okay, there will always be one or two areas, where an individual will perceive that there is an overkill in regard to, too many templates present.'--About the space-flight templates, I decided many months ago, that I was not going to raise the issue. (I am still not raising the issue - and i am guessing that some people will find a template that that individual, will prefer over another template.--Apples and oranges, so to speak.)--I can live with having to templates about the Americas, where the two templates might somewhat overlapping. 2001:2020:327:AC74:F124:2E3C:2632:CE96 (talk) 17:23, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

- Sorry for being brief when I requested the deletion. The article is a complete work of fiction imagining a business that will start sometime in the future. The people claimed to be associated with this business are unsourced and I can find no references from my own searches of the internet. The anonymous IP address editor or editors that created this page are also responsible for similar hoaxes (fictional animated movies and productions) in English Wikipedia draft space.

CosmLearner has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: The nominator's reason for doing this is: The Bangladesh Madrasah Education Board oversees all madrasahs in Bangladesh. But there is a description of Darunnajat Siddiquia Kamil Madrasa (possibly a madrasah in Bangladesh) which is inconsistent with the title of the article. 😬CsmLrner 20:10, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

change- Keep It's not really more complex than a lot of the science articles here. I guess people disagree whether it's possible to explain science subjects well using just Basic English words, but as long as an average person can generally understand it, that meets part of this project's goal. That needs a little more work here, but it's closer than the enwiki version. Batrachoseps (talk) 04:15, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

- If not ... , then Delete - is what i'm leaning toward.
The English-wiki article is 'drifting alone, on the seas'; All the new work (there), is being done on (their) "Polar wind" (wiki-article).
If our article were to say: " Ambipolar electric field is (an important idea or) key element of a theory about an electric field which surrounds the planet.
[End of lede:] This (thought-of or imagined) Ambipolar electric field would be like other ambipolar electric fields, in that they are a kind of electric field called polarization electric field.
Voltage measurements done from a rocket traveling thru Space:
Various voltage measurements were done, during a rocket-flight in 2022. What is thought to be a kind of polarization electric field, an ambipolar electric field, seems to have been measured. Later measurements, if even made, have not been published (as of 2024's third quarter).
The field was measured in 2022 by a sounding rocket launched from Svalbard. This NASA mission was called Endurance. "[1]

Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.
Discussion
change- Keep I believe the subject may indeed meet notability guidelines based on some findings in Google search results that suggest Luke Hessler has a level of public recognition. However, the issue raised about unsourced awards is valid. The current list of awards and recognitions lacks proper references, which undermines the credibility of this section.
- Rather than deleting the page outright, I propose cleaning it up. This includes:
- Removing any unsourced claims, particularly in the Awards and Recognitions section.
- Ensuring the page adheres to a neutral point of view.
- Adding reliable references to support the remaining content.
- By improving the quality of sourcing and maintaining a neutral tone, this page can meet Wikipedia's content guidelines. --Symonds Gerother (talk) 16:22, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

- Administrator note: CU requested (Special:Diff/9748295). MathXplore (talk) 00:39, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- I am curious as to why you chose this particular article for deletion, especially since you are new to editing. When I first started editing articles I had no idea that the deletion of articles could be requested. Did you create your account for the specific purpose of having this article deleted? Are you in any way affiliated with Poulan Police Department or anyone who works there and would not want the negative attention created by this article? Do you know David Larkins personally and have some issue with him? Have you tried adding citations or information to the article in order to improve it? Workingboots (talk) 02:45, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @Workingboots,
- It’s quite suspicious that you've made only about 10 edits and created your account today, just to comment on this specific RFD. This suggests potential undisclosed paid editing (UPE) or a conflict of interest, especially since you're questioning my motives as a new editor while your account shows a similar lack of history. My request for deletion is based purely on Wikipedia's notability and reliable sourcing guidelines—this article does not meet those standards.
- I would advise against making unfounded assumptions about my intentions. Instead, we should be focusing on the content itself and whether it adheres to Wikipedia’s policies, rather than diverting the discussion toward personal speculations.
- If you have valid, policy-based reasons for keeping the article, please provide them. Otherwise, I would suggest that this line of questioning is unproductive and potentially disruptive. Jha-Authorised4772🧿Talk 16:58, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- That was a lot of big words, you might have to simplify what you are saying for me. I freely admit that I am a new editor and learning as I go along. I am certainly not trying to start any fights or do something disruptive. I also do not hold myself up as an expert on Wiki editing. I don't think that any new editor should. I'm inclined to think that perhaps new editors also should not be allowed to make requests for deletion. I am definitely not paid or compensated in any way for my work here. And I have no conflict of interest. It does seem weird that a new account is created and then very quickly asks for a page to be deleted without trying to improve the page to bring it up to standard. It just feels like somebody has an ax to grind. And the way you responded to me feels like an attempt to bully me into silence. I don't know a lot about editing, but I am learning. As I continue to edit other pages, I will also work to improve this one as well. From what I have seen, there appears to be plenty of publicly available information from third party sources which can be used to improve the page. I have also had pages suggested to me for edits which are about people who seem less notable than Larkins/Hamblin. Workingboots (talk) 00:00, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

- DG Hamblin is well known to many people in the NE GA area. He was a law enforcement executive and in addition to running for sheriff in the area, he is known for his compassion and equity in dealing with members of the community. His YouTube channel is popular in the area, and I would imagine is gaining more popularity with his most recent guest. While I am not a member of his church, I have been led to understand that in addition to being in a high-ranking leadership role, he has contributed to the teaching and presentation of that church's doctrine. His content is popular in the area, and is extending out of the area, I would reason that is because of his latest content upload. I do not know him, and I have never met him. His content is fair and equitable, and this article does show notability via multiple independent sources. I do not know about the Poulan Police Department but based on the content that his channel is showcasing, I can understand why people are creating articles about the content and the individual who approached the guest that increased DG Hamblin's notability. He is notable for interviewing a police officer who chose to tell the truth, in a time when officers being transparent to the public is rare to non-existent. This article was properly created and within the source guidelines of Wikipedia. I will admit that I have seen DG Hamblin's content, and the most recent videos (including the interview with the former officer). It inspired me to begin editing Wikipedia articles and updating the history of these agencies and cities appropriately and within the context of transparency based on the independency of proper sources. This article complies with Wikipedia and it uses independent sources not associated with DG Hamblin. DG Hamblin advertises himself on social media and that is allowed to reference when the subject of the article is making public statements. The interview with the former officer, happened. The documents release that DG Hamblin uploaded with the interview to YouTube proves that the guest is a certified peace officer in Georgia, and that the things he spoke about were either documented or audio recorded. According to Wikipedia referencing guidelines, those statements and the video are also able to be used as references. Elbertgranite (talk) 23:47, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

- There are multiple reliable sources in this article. The sources are independent of the article's subject. There may be an argument for presumption in one of the sources, but it is still significant coverage from a source that is independent of the subject of the article. The social media reference should be removed, but the YouTube video section is, I thought, allowed under Wikipedia's policy as they are cited and not linked (Wikipedia:Video_links). The content of the most recent video is controversial, and it is apparently causing a notable stir publicly. I would say the content creator DG Hamblin is notable,and the references cited show that.

The outcome of this request for deletion was to Delete. The consensus was to delete all these categories apart from "LGBT". The "LGBT" category could be renamed in the future to represent the fact that "LGBTQ" is often used to describe the community. I should note the main priority in these deletions is of course to allow preservation of the original category's history and attribution, and I do think renaming the category is a discussion worth having, as intersex people are very much welcome and often included in the LGBTQ+ community. --Ferien (talk) 14:50, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

- Yes, we certainly need a category for these topics. I think pansexual, nonbinary, queer etc. can be included even within the LGBT label. We still need to decide what to do with the intersex category. Batrachoseps (talk) 08:04, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Batrachoseps but intersex definitely doesn't fit in LGBT without an i, and "non binary" doesn't quite fit within T but does fit within Q. e.g. An intersex person who identifies as non binary is not L, G, or T (a not a woman attracted to women, not a man attracted to men, and not transgender) and may or may not be B (attracted to both women and men), but they are intersex and Queer. LagoonGoose (talk) 00:52, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- LGBT doesn't include i - Q is a bit fuzzy but intersex is a very specific different concept. At a minimum we need one with i and one without. I would prefer Q on both because it's more modern. LagoonGoose (talk) 00:24, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

- I now believe that LGBTQ is a better title than LGBT. @Dream Indigo and FusionSub:, what do you think we should do with the intersex category? Batrachoseps (talk) 05:05, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- The think is: we must preserve page history and attribution. We should keep Category:LGBT, because it's the oldest one, not because of it's name. The other three were created just 2 days ago. We can talk about the name later on the category's talk page, not here. ✩ Dream Indigo ✩ 10:52, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hello all, yes I see that these are ill-named. This is Simple-English Wikipedia, we shouldn't add categorgiest when they aren-t necessary. Category:LGBT is well populated, and should likely be kept. Also, if you talk to people on the street, they may have heard of 'LGBT', they ikely won't have heard of the other acronyms. Provided we have areticles (no idea, the respective category can be re-created but should likely be a subcategory of Category:LGBT. So: Keep Cat: LGBT, delete the others, and re-create when there's a need for them (Out category guidleine says that we need 3 entries for a category). If recreated, the delete category should be a subcategory of Cat:LGBT...--Eptalon (talk) 05:34, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
