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 change
Prior 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 lede.
- 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/2020/(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 change
If 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 change
Generally, 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: "DeleteQuick keep". - 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.
Current deletion request discussions change
Varsity change
Kk.urban has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: [Redirect to University]: Not a useful redirect. At least in the United States, this usually refers to varsity sports, which simplewiki doesn't have an article about yet. It may have other meanings elsewhere.

Gotanda has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Pure OR list of dubious need in an encyclopedia. Ref does not link to supporting information. Most of these are most likely named after a person (George Washington) not another state. Wyoming comes the Lenape Munsee word xwé:wamənk ("at the big river flat"). Lots of river flats in the east and midwest. Nonsense page. Gotanda (talk) 00:38, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

- Delete I think if the title was changed and the list was redone, it could be saved; however, with that said, the name would be included in the article it is about and what/who it is named after. FYI, they also posted this on the list of pages wanted, but I reverted it since it was already created. Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 00:42, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your feedback. You are correct that not all cities have been researched to see why they city may have been named in that way. Would it be acceptable to change the list to cities in the United States that have a name that is also a state's name? I added this in response to a discussion that I was having about this topic. Zukedgwa (talk) 00:56, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Why would that be notable? I cannot see how. It's just a funny thing. This city has the same name as that state. Ha ha. Why is that important enough to justify an encyclopedia article and what use would the article be? --Gotanda (talk) 01:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

- Delete - Certainly a notable and interesting subject however in short it's far too complex for here and I would assume not many Simple readers would know what a Monogram is (I didnt tbf) so with that in mind I don't see a point wasting time trying to develop and simplify this given its lack of readership etc. Delete. –Davey2010Talk 19:23, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Fehufanga has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Not notable, the sources in the article do not cover the subject in great depth. Some only barely mention the subject. Outside of this, there are few good sources. Fails GNG. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 07:17, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Keep I had nominated this as a QD, but declined by the nominator asreceiving an award is a claim
Special:Diff/9421415. I looked into this further and they are correct so I’m surprised to see this here when en wiki statesThe person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.
as having to meet only one of a list of criteria. I have verified this at the website for The Queen’s Young Leaders Award. Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 07:49, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
* Delete Given the fact of the link below to the draft article and from the declination on March 6 (12 days ago) this is actually a copy/paste from en wiki. Other than the cleanup I did, it violates policy. I did find a few other sites Sadiq is mentioned on like Ted Talks and such, but I’m going with delete. Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 11:06, 18 March 2024 (UTC)- @PotsdamLamb A4 only requires a claim of notability. That claim exists in the article, so A4 cannot be used. Whether or not that claim is true or not is up to RfD, and so is the subject's notability. Just because the subject has awards doesn't automatically mean that the subject is notable. It can be used as a claim of notability, but it itself cannot be used to pass the subject as being actually notable. You should also check the history of the redirect on enwiki, and perhaps see why that the page remains a redirect today. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 10:06, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete it's only a redirect even on bnwiki. There is also this discussion on enwiki and I agree with delete voters there.Tehonk (talk) 08:20, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Tehonk You should mention that the en wiki topic is 5 years old so that it’s in context for our readers. Thanks - PDLTalk to me!Please don't eat da 🐑! 08:48, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Ayman Sadiq was popped on my watchlist and saw the article in question. I am mainly Bengali wikipedia contributor, hope its ok to add my opinion. , the person doesn’t pass WP:GNG. I don't see any significant coverage in reliable sources. We (Bengali Wikipedia) redirected the article for this reason. I can see en:Draft:Ayman Sadiq (entrepreneur) was also rejected. Also agree with User:Fehufanga: "Just because the subject has awards doesn't automatically mean that the subject is notable". Also, It looks like the article creator account is one purpose account, mainly promoting this person. আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 10:54, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Pure promotion and exaggeration. None of the refs for the main claim of "the largest online educational institution in Bangladesh" are any good: Forbes profiles are completely unreliable, future startup says it is a large start up, not the largest institution of any kind, and the subjects own YouTube channel is obviously out. Possible paid editing. --Gotanda (talk) 01:23, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Delete This article is very promotional and is not notable one bit. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 03:58, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

- Worth noting the en-wiki page is reasonably well sourced, so a notable topic most likely. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:31, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per Lee Vilenski. This deletion request is very unnecessary. Shoot for the Stars (talk) 18:52, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep while it is a stub without references, a quick google search has brought up some decent sources. And even if we don't improve the article, it at least makes sense, with some odd bits.- FusionSub (Talk page) (Contributions) 19:02, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per Lee and Fusion - Certainly a notable subject and article is more than just a WP:DICDEF so there's hope. Just needs expanding. –Davey2010Talk 19:31, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

- Delete/merge to Pianist. There's not much here apart from it being a thing. We shouldn't have an article on every commemorative day that exists. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:04, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- How do we decide which to include? Such things rarely get covered in depth. Rathfelder (talk) 13:05, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- On one hand you're right: this is not really a significant occasion.
- On the other hand: there is, for example, the article on the International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Together with the bunch of, er, other questionable observances.
- If those are allowed to exist - why shouldn't the P.D.? At least this holiday clearly calls for creativity, inspiration, learning a valuable skill and overall cultural education...
- P.S. The "opposite" holiday is also present. Maxivashyn (talk) 16:41, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Ravensfire has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Not enough to show that WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC is met. Sources are basic bio page (not useful for notability), an article that's a publicity article for an event (questionable about independence of sources) and interview and some non-notable books by the author. Page is on en in a draft state and has been declined multiple times. Article creator is a student of this person, so there are some WP:COI concerns as well.[2] Ravensfire (talk) 17:49, 15 March 2024 (UTC) Ravensfire (talk) 17:49, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

- I'm not very good with notability criteria but the sources seem good enough for a company: there're several in-depth profiles like [3] and [4] that are independently covering the company and interviews in specialised journals like [5]. The sources are not academic, for sure, but I'm not sure these exist for meat processing machinery companies? In any case, I think the article is good enough. Le Loy (talk) 23:06, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

- Keep Notable person. @Rathfelder, FusionSub, and Shoot for the Stars: It was probably written this way because someone clicked on a red link and created the page. That's what red links are for, and this is from a new user, which we want to encourage, not discourage. Kk.urban (talk) 01:04, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- I am happy for it to be kept if someone is going to fix it, but not in its present state. We need to have minimum standards of what constitutes an acceptable article. Rathfelder (talk) 08:55, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

- @Auntof6 When the nominator withdraws the request, the RfD notice can be removed from the article because the discussion is formally closed. It does not require an admin to do that. The nominator themselves may even do so. Especially since this was due to close 6 days ago and the withdrawal 9 days ago. Since it was withdrawn, it does not follow the normal process because it is as if the request was never there. This has always been done in the past, and I do not see anything in any discussion where this was changed other than your preference.

. Anything with that designation is worthy of being in here and just needs some cleanup and wikiying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PotsdamLamb (talk • contribs)It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997." Britannica
- Comment: The place designated as a UNESCO heritage site is the city/area of Lumbini, as stated in Encyclopedia Britannica and EnWiki. The grove or park is a part of it. But the question is, does it need a separate article? – Cyber.Eyes2005Talk 13:35, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Cyber.Eyes.2005 I don’t use en wiki as a reference and it’s a bad form to. Like I said just a quick before that came up. The article I pointed to says it’s a “grove”.
