Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Washington

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Washington. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Washington|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Washington. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to US.

Tragic, but fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:TOOSOON. If in future this somehow is covered in depth long term we can recreate it. CoconutOctopus talk 09:48, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete familicides very rarely fulfill NEVENT, and when they do it's usually obvious. PARAKANYAA (talk) 10:05, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete already a page Bloxzge 025 (talk) 04:32, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've merged that obvious WP:REDUNDANTFORK. Left guide (talk) 07:55, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If there is other family murder pages, why delete this? Bloxzge 025 (talk) 14:55, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Change to keep, as I only voted delete per there already being a page and since other family murders with even lower deaths, etc. such as an earlier one this year still have an article. I would only vote delete if no new information comes out or coverage stops. Bloxzge 025 (talk) 22:26, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Number of victims is irrelevant in determining notability; the crossbow case you link is certainly notable as it was covered in depth and continually in the media (especially as the victims were the family of a media personality). I do not believe this article is notable and that it fails WP:TOOSOON and NOTNEWS. CoconutOctopus talk 22:37, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indi Script Records (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

A company that simply exists and is not even close to meeting WP:NCORP which companies/organization articles are expected to meet in order to remain and WP:NMUSIC is completely irrelevant, because records companies/labels are a company, not a band or ensemble. There's also minor public relations activity at Special:Contributions/Indi_Script_Records Graywalls (talk) 23:12, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Although it was transcluded as 2nd nomination, I don't see any sign that it was kept by community consensus. It doesn't look like it's gone through an actual AfD, but it was PROD'd before and someone re-created it. Graywalls (talk) 23:16, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe this meets WP:GNG. I have a suspicion that there is a conflict of interest going on here as well. Ktkvtsh (talk) 21:21, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Given the changes this article has undergone while under disucssion, it seems reasonable to relist it.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 21:59, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as the politican version reverted to meets WP:NPOL. While it would be nice to have more info on her, NPOL says "politicians who have held... state-wide offices" are notable, and the article says (+ references support) that "Evans served in the Nevada Assembly" and Nevada is a state in the US.
