See also: Category:Deletion requests

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) and IP addresses 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: "Delete Quick 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 If the reasons given in the nomination are fixed by changing, the nomination can be withdrawn by the nominator, and the deletion discussion will be closed by an administrator.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.

Remember: You do not have to make a suggestion for every nomination. You should think about not making a suggestion if:

  1. A nomination involves a topic that you do not know much about.
  2. Everyone has made the same suggestion and you agree with that suggestion.

Les Golden [change]

Les Golden (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Eptalon has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Questionable copyright status, parts taken from encyc.org, which seems to be running with a Creative Commons license. Notablity of the person is questionable. Does a university degree with distinction, some research in othher fields, and development of systems to trick casinos make a person notable? - If kept, the article needs major cleanup work to be suitable for our audence, and to steer clear of possible copyright issues. Eptalon (talk) 21:58, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

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]

  • Delete. Huge article which was created only 3 hours ago; probably means it violates copyright from another site. curtaintoad | chat me! 22:08, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
    • Being recent and large does not mean probable copyright violation. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:01, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
      • original source (maybe even was copied after enwiki deletion? Check with wikibin) PiRSquared17 (talk) 00:21, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
        • There is no copyright violation over here, that is, if you just disregard (for now) the fact that there was no attribution. The licenses are compatible. Chenzw  Talk  02:08, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete. I originally QD'd this because it's a mess and I believe it to be a hoax. It seems to have been copied from elsewhere (enwiki?), because it has a lot of images that aren't on Commons. --Auntof6 (talk) 00:01, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete as self-promotional. A significant proportion of "references" have the subject of the article as an author. Some references also have questionable relevance to the corresponding claim in the article: for "Golden is a nationally-referenced animal welfare advocate and environmental activist", at least 2 of those references never make mention to his name. Also a horrible copy-paste job which will take a long time to clean up. Chenzw  Talk  02:06, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete. I think it's a complete spoof. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:10, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete - As the attribute requirement of 3.0-SA is not present, then it can not be shared.. Not really certain that even applies though as the article is claimed to come from mywikibiz who's article was written under GNU FDL by "Drlesmgolden" (so = self promotion most likely) which may or may not be a copy of (or was copied by) a user at Encyc using the publicly accessible account which makes attribution nearly impossible to prove while still demanding it be used.. AKA - copyright here is a mess. Notability is questionable, google is more likely to report a self-published item on the subject than anything remotely reliable. The references are questionable (as Chenzw points out above). The requirements to even hope to get this thing up to passable standards (which are more than a micro-stub) are expecting a lot of the community with little or no expectation of the information ever being usable outside of Oak Park and any computer he has personal access to. Qd-a3 would apply if you applied the coloqualism that Wikipedia = free publicly editable site based on the Wikimedia software and hense copy/pasting from all such sites is the same as copying from the actual Wikipedia site..
tl;dr Copyright nightmare, unproven notability, poorly referenced, self promotional, wrong language = chuck it. --Creol(talk) 16:30, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

This request is due to close on 21:58, 30 May 2013 (UTC), seven days after it was filed, although it may be closed earlier at the discretion of an administrator.


Namarata Vasisth [change]

Namarata Vasisth (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Chenzw has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: No significant coverage in independent sources, and article content borders on being promotional. Chenzw  Talk  11:40, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

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]

  • Delete per nom. There's also no corresponding English Wikipedia article, which tells me that she isn't very well known, and thus, not notable enough for an article here. Lugia2453 (talk) 00:35, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete. Notability not established. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:13, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

This request is due to close on 11:40, 28 May 2013 (UTC), seven days after it was filed, although it may be closed earlier at the discretion of an administrator.


Template:Football squad on pitch [change]

Template:Football squad on pitch (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Auntof6 has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Template created a few weeks ago, but not used. I asked the creator if it was going to be used, but there was no reply. Auntof6 (talk) 00:58, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

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]

  • Quickly delete - It just contains a file. LlamaAl (talk) 01:11, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete. Obvious, should have been QD. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:14, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
    • For future reference, QD on which criterion? --Auntof6 (talk) 07:25, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Under "Articles", numbers 1 (Is very short and provides little or no meaning) and 2. (Has no content). Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:38, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

This request is due to close on 00:58, 28 May 2013 (UTC), seven days after it was filed, although it may be closed earlier at the discretion of an administrator.


Dario Chioli [change]

Dario Chioli (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Osiris has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Probably not notable. Was deleted from both the English and Italian Wikipedias after examinations (here and here) Osiris (talk) 08:39, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

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]

  • Delete: Very little in the way of significant coverage in reliable sources. Being deleted from both the English and Italian Wikipedias is a sign that this person isn't notable enough for a wiki article right now. Lugia2453 (talk) 21:34, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete. Notability not established. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:16, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

This request is due to close on 08:39, 26 May 2013 (UTC), seven days after it was filed, although it may be closed earlier at the discretion of an administrator.


Giselle Klein [change]

Giselle Klein (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Osiris has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Not notable. From what I can tell, she hasn't competed in any professional tournaments, and there doesn't appear to be much coverage at all in reliable sources. Osiris (talk) 08:31, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

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]

  • Delete as non notable. Once notability has been established it should be recreated. Synergy 16:02, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Chenzw  Talk  12:39, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete: I haven't found any significant coverage in reliable sources that would show why this person is notable. Also, an article on this person was deleted from the English Wikipedia last year. Lugia2453 (talk) 21:38, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete - Fails the general notability guideline, no coverage from reliable sources. LlamaAl (talk) 00:39, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete. Again, notability not established. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:18, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

This request is due to close on 08:31, 26 May 2013 (UTC), seven days after it was filed, although it may be closed earlier at the discretion of an administrator.


Futoshi Harada [change]

Futoshi Harada (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Osiris has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Not notable. Roughly correlates with the rationale I've given here. Only played in the Japanese Regional Leagues. Osiris (talk) 08:23, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

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]

  • Delete per nom.--Peterdownunder (talk) 02:24, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete: Doesn't appear to have played in a professional league, and I haven't found any significant coverage on this person. Not to mention that there's no corresponding English Wikipedia article. Lugia2453 (talk) 21:41, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete - Not notable. LlamaAl (talk) 00:33, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:19, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

This request is due to close on 08:23, 26 May 2013 (UTC), seven days after it was filed, although it may be closed earlier at the discretion of an administrator.


Nobuho Mikazaki [change]

Nobuho Mikazaki (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Osiris has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: I researched the notability of this individual in August last year, and then briefly discussed it with a Japanese-speaking editor here. From the research we did, we found that the player has only trivial coverage. We concluded that players of the Japanese Regional Leagues were not deemed notable enough for articles unless they were the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources.

This matches the English Wikipedia's notability guidelines for football players, in which J. League Divisions 1 and 2 are the only "fully professional leagues" in Japan. The article for this individual was also deleted on the Japanese Wikipedia, as it did not meet their local notability requirements. Osiris (talk) 08:21, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

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]

  • Delete - per nom --Peterdownunder (talk) 01:48, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. It also doesn't have a corresponding English Wikipedia article, so this person doesn't appear to be very well known. Lugia2453 (talk) 21:50, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete - Not notable as explained by the nominator. LlamaAl (talk) 00:33, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:21, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

This request is due to close on 08:21, 26 May 2013 (UTC), seven days after it was filed, although it may be closed earlier at the discretion of an administrator.


Shabir Ahmed Qambrani [change]

Shabir Ahmed Qambrani (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Osiris has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Not notable. Pretty much all significant coverage online is associated with the subject. Osiris (talk) 07:42, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

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]

  • Delete per nom. Not to mention that there's no corresponding English Wikipedia article. Lugia2453 (talk) 00:39, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete. Probable self-promotion; anyway notability not independently established. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:24, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

This request is due to close on 07:42, 26 May 2013 (UTC), seven days after it was filed, although it may be closed earlier at the discretion of an administrator.

Noelle Atwood [change]

Noelle Atwood (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Osiris has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Doesn't meet the notability requirements from what I can see. She had a very minor career in acting, featuring in what was -- from what I can tell -- a little-known television show which only aired in some areas of the state of Washington (on KFFX-TV). The actress herself gets very little hits in online media; the few mentions she does get are in local newspapers (Yakima Herald and Tri-City Herald). Osiris (talk) 10:39, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Discussion [change]

Weak keep, looks like a stub that needs cleanup, also to me it looks like it does meet. curtaintoad | chat me! 10:46, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

  • Delete Google news and web searches turn up very little in terms of material to site, or anything that really shows notability. --Gordonrox24 | 

Talk 18:55, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

  • Delete - Fails WP:N. LlamaAl (talk) 19:24, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete: Not only does the article fail to establish notability, there's no corresponding English Wikipedia article, which tells me that she's not very well known, and thus, not notable enough for inclusion here. Lugia2453 (talk) 01:33, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete based on lack of notability and it should probably be deleted now per snow. Synergy 16:09, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable. Macdonald-ross (talk) 07:26, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Vanessa Trump [change]

Vanessa Trump (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Osiris has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Does not meet the notability guidelines for people. Celebrity (being a member of a famous business family) is not notability. IMDb indicates that her career as an actress consisted of a very minor role in one film. Basically all mentions of her online are in celebrity gossip columns. Osiris (talk) 08:21, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

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]

  • Delete. Article does not establish notability. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:48, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete - Fails WP:N. Notability is not inherited. LlamaAl (talk) 19:20, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete: Being the wife of a celebrity does not make for automatic notability. The article itself doesn't establish any notability. Also, the lack of an English Wikipedia article tells me that she's not very well known, and thus, not notable enough for inclusion here. Lugia2453 (talk) 01:31, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete: It seems a stretch to suggest the wife of a son of a famous person is notable. Velvetchops (talk) 06:15, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete Per LlamaAl. Fails WP:N and WP:WIAA. curtaintoad | chat me! 06:21, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Meriç Soylu [change]

Meriç Soylu (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Osiris has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Probably not notable, as a previous deletion discussion on the Turkish Wikipedia decided. There are plenty of posts regarding her in blogs and social media, and there are some brief mentions in mainstream media articles, but nothing to indicate "significant coverage". Osiris (talk) 05:13, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

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]

  • Delete. Doing a normal job in a goodish way is not notability. Macdonald-ross (talk) 09:29, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. I am really not sure if it is notable or not, maybe the article need cleanup with a tag or it should go with requested pages. However, per WIAA the article may violate policies, so it could be deleted then. But I more recommend "delete" rather than cleanup. curtaintoad | chat me! 09:37, 15 May 2013 (UTC) Delete, fails policies. curtaintoad | chat me! 06:25, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
  • QD as G12 / A4- it is a direct copy/paste from the page listed as a reference (which does have that cute little © down at the bottom of the page). Without that blurb, there is no claim of notability (very weak one as it is) and a4 covers the rest of the delete. --Creol(talk) 04:35, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't catch the duplication. This should probably be QD'd then. A bit annoying since there won't be any notability decision to rely on as precedent if it's recreated in original form. Osiris (talk) 07:39, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

The Impact of ICT on Individuals [change]

The Impact of ICT on Individuals (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Osiris has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Personal essay. I assume "ICT" refers to information and communications technology, but I can't see anything worth merging. Osiris (talk) 06:56, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

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]

  • Delete, No encyclopedic tone, and does not meet WP:WIAA. curtaintoad | chat me! 08:32, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete: Essay that doesn't have an encyclopedic tone. Lugia2453 (talk) 22:46, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete - Wikipedia is not a place for personal essays, see the ninth point of WP:NOT#What Wikipedia entries are not. Fails the inclusion policy. LlamaAl (talk) 02:16, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete. More like a magazine article than an encyclopedia entry. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:49, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete: It is an essay. The creator states in the article: The following is a report I wrote. Let's not keep it. English Wikipedia has a coherent, factual, technical article.

Template:Polluted category [change]

Template:Polluted category (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Auntof6 has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: There should be few enough categories fitting this purpose that it's probably better to just let them appear in the report rather than risk having editors tag categories that shouldn't be tagged with this. Do we even have such a report anyway? Auntof6 (talk) 06:59, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Discussion [change]

  • The database reports exist. This template is intended to be used by bots to filter those reports before they re-publish on the wiki for maintenance. But I've never seen any maintenance reports for user pages in categories published here. I would personally just QD this, but there might be a reasonable reason for it being copied over... It'd be good if the editor that created it responded. Osiris (talk) 07:16, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete - There doesn't seem to be an intention of generating the report. If no bot generates it, this template should go. Chenzw  Talk  02:27, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete - I concur with Chenzw. If its not being used, its not needed. Pointless. Synergy 16:06, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
