July 2020
edit- Category:Demolished buildings and structures in Columbia, Missouri nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Grey Wanderer (talk · contribs) 05:13, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:SMALLCAT, the state only has 14 demolished buildings in the category and the city is too small to support its own category at this time. Should be upmerged to Category:Demolished buildings and structures in Missouri.
- T. J. McCreight nominated at AfD; notified DontaviousLongArms (talk · contribs) 17:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- James Osborne (sport shooter) nominated at AfD; notified Pauly04 (talk · contribs) 17:27, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG, cannot find any coverage of him in a before search, tagged for over a decade. SportingFlyer T·C 17:27, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- The Scholar (journal) nominated at AfD; notified Jennmarie25 (talk · contribs) 18:46, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Discovered during CAT:NN cleanup, this survived an AfD in 2008 but has been tagged with primary sources/notability since December 2008. I looked for secondary coverage and could not find any, and it's still sourced to primary sources. I'd support keeping this if other sources are found, but I can't find any easily and for now it seems to fail WP:GNG.
- Coal Bowl (basketball tournament) nominated at AfD; notified Craigmaceachern (talk · contribs) 23:27, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Can't PROD this since it was de-prodded 11 years ago. There is some coverage, but even the coverage on the CBC web site was written locally, and the rest is all routine youth sports coverage. Fails WP:GNG. (Came across this doing CAT:NN cleanup - simple advertisement here, if you have a minute, check to see if there's an article which has been tagged as not passing the GNG for over a decade and see if you can rescue it or nominate it for deletion and help clean up the encyclopaedia.)
- Pulaski Park (Omaha) nominated at AfD; notified Dbabb1 (talk · contribs) 18:27, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: A non-notable local neighborhood park, fails WP:GNG.
August 2020
edit- Cape Romano Pyramid House nominated at AfD; notified Jgefd (talk · contribs) 01:21, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
October 2020
edit- Category:Destroyed landmarks in Japan nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Funandtrvl (talk · contribs) 20:41, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Duplicate, non-definitive category. All of the structures in this category are already in the category structure Category:Former buildings and structures in Japan (if not in that category, they're properly classified in a sub-category), none of these buildings are classified as a "landmark" within the article text, and a "landmark" is generally a subjective definition (excepting certain places which objectively define the term.)
November 2020
edit- Attack Vector: Tactical nominated at AfD; notified MRig (talk · contribs) 23:35, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: I cannot find any reliable secondary sources or reviews with secondary coverage for this product apart from the fact it won an award. I did find a brief mention of it in an academic article but I don't think that's enough for WP:GNG. Furthermore, the only comment on the talk page after 13 years is "This seems like nothing more than a commercial for this product," and the article would need to be heavily cleaned up to pass WP:PROMO.
- Kellen Gordon nominated at AfD; notified Rpsmith1988 (talk · contribs) 12:12, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Still fails both WP:GNG and WP:NRU. I nominated this a year ago, and it was kept on the mistaken belief that the US league fell under the rugby notability guidelines. It turns out the US league was added without discussion, and after a review it was correctly removed (disclosure: I was involved in the discussion.) The only identified sources now or at the prior AfD are press releases or from sources that are closely tied to the subject, including the subject's former school and the subject's team, or are not independent, such as a US rugby blog, and nothing has changed in the year plus since the last AfD that would make him notable.
- Mitch Craft nominated at AfD; notified Onlythetruth4uall (talk · contribs) 21:05, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Came here from the WikiProject page. Craft fails WP:GNG, WP:GRIDIRON and WP:ACTOR. The only significant coverage I could find on his college career was about a suspension having to do with a crime he committed, he never played in the NFL, "Mitch Craft" "Rattlers" brings up no results in a non-Google search, and I also cannot find any coverage of his acting career, which IMDB notes has been mostly uncredited roles to this point.
- Category:Basketball players from Shkodër nominated at CfD (CfM); notified Grutness (talk · contribs); merging to: Category:Sportspeople from Shkodër 00:31, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Upmerge back to the city. This fails WP:OCAT/WP:OCLOCATION, an over-diffusion of player by sport and city.
- Category:Destroyed landmarks in Italy nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Funandtrvl (talk · contribs) 18:02, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Per previous discussions, "landmark" is subjective and not objective - it is not clear what is eligible for inclusion in this category. All of these were buildings or structures and I have just made sure they have been cross-categorised in Category:Demolished buildings or structures in Italy, making this redundant to boot.
- Category:Buildings and structures demolished in the 20th century in Spain nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Marcocapelle (talk · contribs) 22:31, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Overclassification. We categorise buildings by their demolition date and by their demolition city or country, but this is the first time I've seen an "by X and Y" classification. Upmerging will have to be manually done because the 20th century upmerges to specific years and many of these buildings are already subcatted into cities, but the category needs to go.
- Category:Destroyed landmarks in Hungary nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Funandtrvl (talk · contribs) 15:21, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: As per other CfDs, a "landmark" is subjective. While it's part of a generally accepted structure it's also only got one entry which is already in the appropriately diffused categories (Demolished buildings and structures in Hungary and Buildings and structures demolished in #year).
- Category:Destroyed landmarks in Denmark nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Funandtrvl (talk · contribs) 19:23, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: As per other discussions, "destroyed" and "landmark" are both subjective, and we have other places for things. Only two buildings in this category, both of which are already properly in country-specific demolished or destroyed cats.
- Category:Destroyed landmarks in New Zealand nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Funandtrvl (talk · contribs) 19:27, 20 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: As per other deletion noms, "destroyed" and "landmarks" are subjective - of the three subjects in the category, one is a redirect, the other two are already safely in Category:Buildings and structures demolished as a result of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, a proper cat for an event which caused the destruction of a solid handful of buildings.
- Category:Destroyed landmarks in Turkmenistan nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Funandtrvl (talk · contribs) 12:01, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Per others - "destroyed" and especially "landmarks" are subjective, and there's a good question as to whether the single building in this category was actually destroyed (appears to have been moved.)
- Category:Destroyed landmarks in the Netherlands nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Funandtrvl (talk · contribs) 12:02, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Per the others, "landmark" is subjective and the single article in the category is already in Category:Demolished buildings and structures in the Netherlands.
December 2020
edit- Category:Destroyed landmarks in Croatia nominated at CfD (CfD); notified F382d56d7a18630cf764a5b576ea1b4810467238 (talk · contribs) 20:15, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: A pure container category, per other recent CSDs "landmark" is subjective and shouldn't be used, and the sub-cats are already properly sub-catted elsewhere.
- Category:Destroyed landmarks in Romania nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Funandtrvl (talk · contribs) 13:32, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Per prior discussion, "Destroyed landmarks by country" are subjective, and this category is small and superfluous.
- Category:Destroyed landmarks in Bulgaria nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Funandtrvl (talk · contribs) 13:33, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: "Landmark" is not only subjective per many recent CfD discussions, this completely duplicates the proper "Demolished buildings and structures in Bulgaria," which while small is part of a proper categorisation scheme.
- Category:Destroyed landmarks in Egypt nominated at CfD (CfM); notified Funandtrvl (talk · contribs); merging to: Category:Demolished buildings and structures in Egypt 13:34, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: "Landmark" is subjective and we have deleted many categories with this naming convention as a result. The two articles in this category should probably be upmerged.
- Category:Players of American football from Detroit: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Sportspeople from Detroit; notified Namiba (talk · contribs) 20:54, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: An overcategorisation - we only categorise people by their general occupation (sportspeople), not by their specific occupation (see [1] [2], WP:OCLOCATION, and for instance the broad categories at Category:People from St. Louis by occupation). There's currently no consensus on whether a limited exception exists for cities where this might be defining, but after a search, I don't see any reason why Detroit would be eligible for this exception for American football.
- Oscar M. Baine odometer tampering scheme: nominated at AfD; notified Elijahandskip (talk · contribs) 01:04, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: I'll be honest to say I found this I was looking through the creator's contributions after they filed an ANI report about an unrelated incident. I was absolutely shocked to see this passed an AfD nine months ago. This clearly fails WP:CRIME as a routine prosecution that nine months later has received absolutely no additional coverage, failing the sustained element of WP:NOTNEWS. There are also clear WP:BLP1E issues with the article. Typically the rule is to wait a year after a keep AfD, but the problems here are so flagrant it's not worth waiting three months.
- C. Clements: nominated at AfD; notified Nick mallory (talk · contribs) 15:29, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
- Category:Destroyed landmarks in Latvia: nominated at CfD (CfD); notified Funandtrvl (talk · contribs) 00:10, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: Landmarks is subjective, and the lone article in the category is already properly upmerged in Category:Demolished buildings and structures in Latvia.
- Category:Destroyed landmarks in Kyiv: nominated at CfD (CfR); renaming to Category:Demolished buildings and structures in Kyiv; notified Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk · contribs) 15:09, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: "Landmarks" is subjective - a couple of these articles may not have been "demolished" but on the whole the city is probably just large enough for a "demolished buildings and structures in" category and many of these would be eligible for that category, instead of deleting the category completely.
- Category:Footballers from Milan: nominated at CfD (CfM); merging to Category:Sportspeople from Milan; notified JTtheOG (talk · contribs) 15:21, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
- Reason: (adding additional merge category shortly)Overcategorisation per WP:OCLOCATION, Category:Golfers from Leeds, the numerous discussions linked there, and the advice set out at this essay written to support the creation of WP:OCLOCATION stating
Do not replace national categories with state ones or city ones within an article because not all states and cities have occupational groupings. For example, a California writer should be under both Category:American writers (or a subcategory) and Category:California writers. Keep in mind that the goal here isn't to subdivide the occupation, but is simply to subdivide the geographical area.
Dual merge to maintain the categorical structure we have for this: specific occupation by country (to categorise occupation), and general occupation by city (to diffuse which city the person is from.)
- Reason: (adding additional merge category shortly)Overcategorisation per WP:OCLOCATION, Category:Golfers from Leeds, the numerous discussions linked there, and the advice set out at this essay written to support the creation of WP:OCLOCATION stating
March 2021
edit- United Airlines Flight 1175: nominated at AfD; notified AyaanLamar (talk · contribs) 14:34, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This was undeleted after a recent deletion review, but it should not have been - this failed notability guidelines at the time and still does. It was restored on the grounds that a single local news report from Honolulu, the NTSB report being published (even though having an NTSB report does not make an incident notable), and being very briefly mentioned in articles about the cowling which fell off a United plane in Denver constitute "new significant coverage." At the original AfD, I noted that this might be notable if coverage of the incident continued, but it didn't. Still fails WP:NOTNEWS.
- Northern Virginia United FC: nominated at AfD; notified Quidster4040 (talk · contribs) 13:33, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The only secondary sources I could find mentioning the clubs were one or two paragraph long game recaps from the Baltimore Sun and the Newport News newspaper. I'm not sure this club passes WP:GNG.
- 2018 Chesapeake mayoral special election: nominated at AfD; notified SecretName101 (talk · contribs) 01:29, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable mayoral election, the article fails WP:GNG as written and the event of this election was routine.
- 2017 Rutland mayoral election: nominated at AfD; notified BM6 (talk · contribs) 01:35, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A local election with less than 5,000 votes which only received local or blog coverage in a before search (there was one major right-wing blog which reported the result, but I don't think that's enough for notability.)
- Timothy Machin: nominated at AfD; notified Bobo192 (talk · contribs) 22:35, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This was nominated last year, but the nomination was poor, and all of the arguments for keep were that he passed WP:NCRIC. Unfortunately, Machin definitively fails WP:GNG. The only two sources in the article are to Cricket Archive and CricInfo, two statistical database sites which don't pass WP:SPORTCRIT for notability purposes. I did a fairly comprehensive BEFORE search in which I found a reprint of the scorecard of the List A match he played in, but the newspaper did nothing except reprint the score of the match, not provide any significant coverage of him, and the only other appearances of his name were in agate (i.e., not SIGCOV). No issue with an ATD if a suitable one is found.
- Anthony Hanley: nominated at AfD; notified Lugnuts (talk · contribs) 16:43, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG. This one is sourced to the traditional cricket databases but also to a national archive page about him being a lieutenant, which isn't enough for a military pass, and an ancestry site, which don't count for notability purposes (we all are eligible for an ancestry page.) A WP:BEFORE search brought up no possible sources for improvement.
April 2021
edit- Evangeline Beechler: nominated at AfD; notified KidAd (talk · contribs) 00:12, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Discovered this article since the other Idaho Democratic Party chair is up for deletion as well. Chairs of political parties at the state level aren't automatically notable under WP:NPOL, and the only coverage I can find on her not in the article is about her failed city council race (for a town where councillors would not be presumed notable), so also fails WP:GNG.
- Portland Fighting Fillies: nominated at AfD; notified Tom Danson (talk · contribs) 19:10, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged for notability since 2009, it appears the team was covered in the Portland newspaper only once (the source in the article) and apart from a couple very short mentions in other newspapers (mostly Fresno) and one local television news spot, I don't think they're notable. One of the newspaper blurbs said the league was amateur. A merge into the league article might be proper.
- Basketball Stevenson: nominated at AfD; notified Louieinayr (talk · contribs) 22:08, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I don't think I can PROD this because the PROD was removed in 2011, but this student sports club clearly fails WP:GNG, the only article about them was written by someone affiliated with the team, and I can't find anything else online that's not a wiki-mirror.
- Mike Basso: nominated at AfD; notified Alexsautographs (talk · contribs) 09:30, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- D. J. Baxendale: nominated at AfD; notified Muboshgu (talk · contribs) 09:38, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable minor league player, fails WP:NBASE. Minor league players can be notable but need to demonstrate a level of notability beyond routine coverage. There's lots of routine coverage sourced in the article that you see of minor league players, game reports and prospect reports, and there's lots of hits of mentions claiming he pitched in various minor league games, but I don't think any coverage of him rises beyond routine game reports/prospect reports. He did play in a couple early games of the College World Series which was reported nationally, but I could only find match report coverage of those as well.
- Márton Barta: nominated at AfD; notified Savariensis (talk · contribs) 09:46, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG and WP:YOUNGATH - apart from [3] I cannot find significant coverage of him, even when searching in Hungarian for Barta Márton, and all of his accomplishments are at a junior level. Can always refund if this is simply WP:TOOSOON.
- Australian Police Rugby League Association: nominated at AfD; notified 59.101.87.221 (talk · contribs) 20:18, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Twinkle aborted my PROD because this already went thru an AfD (I only checked the page history) so here we are again. There's no secondary coverage of this league at all, the only two sources are primary. A WP:BEFORE search brought up very little.
- Bryant Austin: nominated at AfD; notified Bryant Austin (talk · contribs) 20:24, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Originally an autobiography, the article unfortunately fails WP:NBASKET, my source search to check for WP:GNG brought up a mention in the NY Times but with only ten games in the D-League I can't find other significant secondary coverage of him.
- Alderson Broaddus Battlers women's soccer: nominated at AfD; notified Abwsoc (talk · contribs) 20:28, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Created by someone affiliated with the team in 2011, the page has been little-updated since but more importantly is sourced only to the team's official website. While we can theoretically have articles about sports clubs that play at below a Division I level, they must pass WP:GNG. While some local sports coverage exists (mostly local player signs with A–B) it's not enough to write a properly sourced article with.
- Mati Zata: nominated at AfD; notified Scotfootballedits (talk · contribs) 13:12, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Discovered this article while going through articles tagged with the sports notability guideline. Zata played 21 minutes over 3 games in the Scottish League One, which is two divisions below the only fully professional division in Scotland (he did have eight cup appearances with four starts over three years), and has been released by Dumbarton and is currently without a club, failing WP:NFOOTY. There has been some local coverage of him mostly as a pre-debut youngster, so I didn't PROD this in case there's an argument he meets WP:GNG, but I also don't think that's met.
- West End AFC: nominated at AfD; notified Parkz155 (talk · contribs) 16:10, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A PROD was removed in 2017 since the club technically has played in the New Zealand cup. Coverage I found included a local league write up [4] and another local write up featuring their reserve team [5] but both are WP:ROUTINE and so the article fails WP:GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 16:10, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Tyler Williams (soccer): nominated at AfD; notified UncleTupelo1 (talk · contribs) 16:15, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: The NASL was technically fully professional, but he played only 200 minutes in 8 appearances, mostly as a sub. The only sources are to Soccerway and the team's website, and I can't find any other WP:GNG-qualifying coverage - all I can find is transactional agate.
- Khari Waithe-Alexander: nominated at AfD; notified Mexico Ron (talk · contribs) 16:24, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I can't read The Southern articles in the article, but a newspapers.com search brings up precious little and he's not mentioned significantly in any other papers apart from being listed as an underclassman who declared for the draft. Fails WP:GNG, WP:NCOLLATH.
- Tom Windle (baseball): nominated at AfD; notified Yankees10 (talk · contribs) 16:28, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Adam Westall: nominated at AfD; notified Jgjsmith006 (talk · contribs) 17:41, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Never played above the third tier in England so appears to fail WP:NRU, the sources in the article apart from the Swindon Advertiser don't look to pass WP:GNG, and a source search brings up local sources like the Swindon Advertiser. Sending to AfD because there are a few sources which come up, I think they're too routine to demonstrate notability (coverage of seventh level sides in any sport is almost always routine.)
- Luis Ruiz (footballer, born 1983): nominated at AfD; notified BKReruns (talk · contribs) 20:27, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This one has me baffled - Playing (and scoring seven goals - maybe that's appearances?) for FC Luzern in 2010 or 2011 would have been very notable as they finished second in the Super League that season. The transfer announcement says to Águila linked in the article says he played for Luzern and Kriens, but I can't find anything confirming that he actually appeared for the club online, including in German. If he didn't play for Luzern, he fails WP:NFOOTY based on the information in the article and possibly fails WP:GNG as well.
- A.D.C. Sanguedo: nominated at AfD; notified Pumpie (talk · contribs) 23:27, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Unsourced since 2007, PROD removed in 2012, I can't find anything WP:GNG-related on this fifth-division club. They did participate in the (108-team, six group) third division in 1991, so coverage is possible, but I can't find much more than this (apart from database sites) to help source the article.
- SoCal Premier League: nominated at AfD; notified Rgps (talk · contribs) 09:54, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable amateur league, fails WP:GNG, the only sources in the article are primary/not independent and the only two hits I came up with were describing a USASA team playing in the Open Cup and something about rugby, which was unrelated to the league.
- Pacific West Baseball League: nominated at AfD; notified Guitarplayer360 (talk · contribs) 15:20, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Shares a name with a Canadian baseball league, which made searching for sources difficult, but I couldn't find much newspaper reporting on the league beyond this article (which is on a player in the league), this article (which is from the year after the league folded?) and a small amount of agate. Fails WP:GNG.
- 2013 Champions Classic: nominated at AfD; notified 76.226.192.204 (talk · contribs) 12:40, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Two regular season college basketball games, not notable enough for a stand-alone article. WP:NOTNEWS.
- Georgi Yochev: nominated at AfD; notified Extreme01 (talk · contribs) 12:45, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: There are a couple pieces of coverage of him in Bulgarian sources, though not that much, but he's a youth athlete and his only medals are in youth weightlifting. WP:TOOSOON, WP:GNG.
- David Thomson (footballer, born 1988): nominated at AfD; notified Bully Wee (talk · contribs) 20:52, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Talgarth Rovers F.C.: nominated at AfD; notified Geebaker92 (talk · contribs) 20:57, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I'd prefer not to lose the information but I can't even really validate it. The single source is a dead link, the article is written in a weird contradiction (are they a reserve team of Talgarth Town? An IP changed the lede a decade ago and it's stuck) and I'm not able to find enough information on the side to reliably change it. Fails WP:GNG.
- Tennessee Sting: nominated at AfD; notified TheScottDL (talk · contribs) 12:29, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: After a search in several places, completely fails WP:GNG, does not appear to have been covered in secondary sources.
- Marc Sylvester: nominated at AfD; notified Realnfh (talk · contribs) 17:32, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Most of the coverage I can find on him is prep sports coverage, which WP:NYOUNGATH specifically discusses. The college coverage is all similar to [6], brief and not significant, and his award is in a youth competition.
- Grimsby Red Wings: nominated at AfD; notified Mcshiny (talk · contribs) 18:07, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged as unsourced/with notability concerns for almost a decade, my WP:BEFORE search only brought up an obituary claiming the club benefited from Canadian players during the Second World War. I did a historical source search with no hits but that didn't include many English sources. Sending to AfD in case anyone can find sources I haven't been able to, otherwise delete, fails WP:GNG.
- Olympic Park Stadium: nominated at RfD; Target: Olympic Park (notified); notified Doncram (talk · contribs) 21:08, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Olympic Park Stadium (Melbourne) was disambiguated for reasons I don't completely understand (are there other Olympic Park Stadiums?). I don't see any discussion regarding the move, and I don't know how to boldly undo a move and redirect, so I'm bringing it to RfD.
- Elias Seppänen: nominated at AfD; notified AS19Portsmouth (talk · contribs) 11:32, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Youth motorsport racer, fails WP:GNG: only coverage is from specialty websites. Possibly WP:TOOSOON.
- Kyle Schroeder: nominated at AfD; notified Kylezaq (talk · contribs) 12:35, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG, cannot find significant coverage of him in the XFL or in college.
- 2011 Green Property Mens Irish Open: nominated at AfD; notified PodgeMcQ (talk · contribs) 12:43, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable minor league professional tennis event, fails WP:GNG. Would have prodded, but a prod was removed a decade ago.
- Jesse Wright: nominated at AfD; notified Bvwsaw (talk · contribs) 17:22, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Darlin van der Werff: nominated at AfD; notified TechnoBladeSPX (talk · contribs) 17:29, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Possibly WP:TOOSOON. Only appeared in 82 minutes in the Tweede Divisie over four matches and a U-23 qualifying tournament. Some Dutch coverage but it appears similar to [7] along with a few match reports. I may have missed one, but I didn't see anything which jumped out as a clear WP:GNG pass.
May 2021
edit- Electric City Shock SC: nominated at AfD; notified Groundhopping (talk · contribs) 00:55, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: What are we to do with these NPSL teams with all of these sports nobility tags? There's some coverage of this team, see this article when they were launched, and this five-sentence blurb about their first season, but the local newspaper doesn't even cover their home games, and the majority of the results which come up appear to be from a local softball team. I thought this would be a good source but it mentions their attendance of "about 100" in spite of "next to no advertising." Other web searches brought up no WP:GNG qualifying coverage, just non-independent web sites from the league or other teams in the league. SportingFlyer T·C 00:55, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- Joey Accaoui: nominated at AfD; notified Wenader (talk · contribs) 12:50, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NCOLLATH and WP:NBASKET. A WP:GNG search didn't bring up any significant coverage apart from routine college basketball blurbs. My Arabic search brought up only the Wikipedia article in that language. Fails WP:GNG.

- FC Hjallese: nominated at AfD; notified Holufp (talk · contribs) 13:14, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: 7th division Danish football club which fails WP:GNG - they did get a couple mentions in the local newspaper (according to their own website, which has a picture clip of the announcement of their founding), and they do occasionally get covered in local media [8] but I can't find anything else that's not a match report. Fails WP:GNG.
- Paul Arnold (American football): nominated at AfD; notified HuskyDodger (talk · contribs) 15:30, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged with notability concerns since 2010 (I'm going through old articles), my source search for him didn't bring up as much as I had expected (mostly mentions in articles about Washington.) Happy to be wrong on this but he seems to fail WP:NCOLLATH/WP:GNG.
- 2011–12 1. FC Saarbrücken season: nominated at AfD; notified Kingjeff (talk · contribs) 18:23, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A 3. Liga season should technically be able to have a season article written about it, but this one has been unsourced and failed WP:NOTSTATS for nine years. Sending to AfD since a PROD was removed.
- Kane Turketo: nominated at AfD; notified Kanerayt (talk · contribs) 23:33, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Possible autobio, non-notable volleyball player, a source search brought up no independent coverage. Fails WP:GNG.
- Dwan Hurt: nominated at AfD; notified Ashevilleupdate (talk · contribs) 17:36, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Was CSD'd/AfD'd in 2012 as a no consensus, worth a second look now as it's been tagged with notability concerns since before the first AfD. High school basketball coaches are rarely notable, it looks like the coverage is just prep sports coverage, and he fails WP:NCOLLATH since all of the coverage of him was either from Spokane, the city in which he played basketball, or routine blurby coverage of the games he played in. On the whole, fails WP:GNG.
- Stan Watson (coach): nominated at AfD; notified Lougroza (talk · contribs) 21:30, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: He's only been an assistant coach, and all of the articles I can find on him appear to be transactional in nature.

- Jadon Wagner: nominated at AfD; notified Cmm3 (talk · contribs) 19:36, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I PRODded this article because thought this was a clear-cut case of non-notable college athlete, followed up by his complete lack of any appearance in the CFL due to an injury. Fails WP:NCOLLATH and the coverage is routine and transactional.

- Atlantis Anthoussa F.C.: nominated at AfD; notified Inizz (talk · contribs) 17:49, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Local sports club who I can't find any information on, playing in what appears to be a local league. I did try a Greek search as well and not much came up, so it's possible I've bungled that, so I'm taking this to AfD: but it seems to me like this fails WP:GNG.
- Marcin Urbanowski: nominated at AfD; notified Marcin Urbanowski (talk · contribs) 17:54, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: This has been tagged with notability concerns since 2015. All of the available sources are statistical, I cannot find any WP:GNG SIGCOV of him, even searching in Polish.

- Piers Christian: nominated at AfD; notified Datastats (talk · contribs) 23:36, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NCOLLATH, WP:GRIDIRON, and WP:PROMO; I can't find anything written on him not already in the article, which isn't good coverage, but even if I've missed something the entire article needs to be WP:TNT'd.

- Parc de la Rivière-aux-Pins Disc Golf Course: nominated at AfD; notified Iketsi (talk · contribs) 21:04, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

- Reason: Played 13 minutes of Greek basketball, can't find anything written on him (I did not search in Greek, though), but clearly fails WP:NBASKET and likely fails WP:GNG. Also a promotional concern with the article as written.
- Steven Ehricks: nominated at AfD; notified Strikers8 (talk · contribs) 21:41, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

- 2017 AFF U-18 Youth Championship squads: nominated at AfD; notified Hakim pandaraya (talk · contribs) 09:42, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

- Querétaro F.C. Reserves and Academy: nominated at AfD; notified Ronalditos58815738 (talk · contribs) 18:16, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Boldly redirected this, but the IP un-did the redirect. This is just a squad list for reserve and youth teams, fails WP:GNG.
- 2017 California International Marathon: nominated at AfD; notified GoOKC (talk · contribs) 11:28, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not notable enough as a stand-alone event: no sources are independent, and a source search only brought up the Sacramento newspaper (local) and a mere mention in Connecticut because a Connecticut runner won the men's race. Fails WP:GNG.
- Chad Kessler (basketball): nominated at AfD; notified Obby1 (talk · contribs) 16:11, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Not really sure on this one - a Newspapers.com search brings up what appears to be mostly routine college basketball coverage, mostly from the southeast where he played, but he did get drafted, albeit in a late round. I'm not sure regarding the notability especially given there's a bit of a WP:PROMO concern (reads like he's notable for being a doctor instead of a college basketball player.)

- Boston Victory S.C.: nominated at AfD; notified Quidster4040 (talk · contribs) 22:38, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: A WP:BEFORE search of archival newspapers from 2012 brought up only two hits total: a mere mention in a Boston Globe story about a local university's soccer team saying another team had played them in an exhibition, and brief coverage from Ottawa since the Ottawa PDL team played them in a game once. A web search brings up more mentions, but nothing reliable from non-blog sources. Fails WP:GNG, there's probably an ATD available somewhere though.

- 2019 Florida Gators women's gymnastics season: nominated at AfD; notified Theworldgymnast1 (talk · contribs) 22:29, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

- Predrag Vranes: nominated at AfD; notified Formerplayer1991 (talk · contribs) 12:52, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged with notability concerns for a decade, fails WP:GNG, only thing I could find on him was the source in the article (searched in Serbian.)
- Manos Manouselis: nominated at AfD; notified Sarahtalks1 (talk · contribs) 23:42, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Article creator was blocked for promotional/covert advertising/spamming reasons. The entire article fails WP:PROMO so badly that the entire thing needs to be deleted. There is a possible argument for notability, but it's not clearly demonstrated by the sources in the article, and even if he is we're better off completely deleting this version and starting from scratch.
- Mavericks–Rockets rivalry: nominated at AfD; notified Woodmana (talk · contribs) 00:00, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Won't be surprised if this is kept since it's an in state rivalry, but in going through sports articles tagged with the notability guideline, none of the sources in the article specifically call this a rivalry, making it WP:SYNTH as written. In addition, a source search brought up a couple hits calling this a rivalry, including Jason Terry saying it is, but you also have Dirk Nowitzki saying it's not, and much of the coverage talked about either Chandler Parsons or the fact the front offices don't seem to like each other. Deserves a discussion, I'd be in favour of deleting if this isn't really a true rivalry apart from the proximity. If kept, please remove the notability tag if I don't get around to it.

- Reason: Recently founded (well, a decade ago) Eccellenza team, sourced only to a reference site, fails WP:GNG. This suggests the club lost financial backing in 2017, and a look at the Italian Wikipedia shows they were promoted to Serie D but never registered, and then never appeared again in their local league.

- Reason: Looks like this was the page for the local team until the team page was merged elsewhere. Now it's just a single un-sourced sentence. I would have just laid down a PROD, but a now blocked user removed a speedy last year. I don't mind if this gets improved or re-created, but as it stands, this serves no purpose.

- NC State–South Carolina football rivalry: nominated at AfD; notified CollegeRivalry (talk · contribs) 00:19, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

- Reason: Current fourth division player, only played one match in the Eerste Divisie, I can't find anything on him WP:GNG related but even though there might be some stuff on him (he did "play" for PSV) he comprehensively fails WP:NFOOTY. Pacific Tigers are an NCAA team too, I believe you cannot have been a professional to play in the NCAA.
- Violation (basketball): nominated at AfD; notified Spike-from-NH (talk · contribs) 09:59, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I'm going through pages tagged with notability concerns, and I don't know what the heck this page is. Is it a disambiguation page? Is it an article? If it's an article, can it be sourced? If it can be sourced, does it pass WP:GNG?Just to be clear, I'm on the side of "weak delete" since I'm not sure how to source the page, which is why I'm taking this to AfD, but I'm happy if this gets kept on some disambiguation-style technicality.

- Reason: I was surprised this didn't have a notability tag after looking through the sources, only to see notability tags have been removed twice. Looking through the sources in the article, I don't think he passes WP:GNG. Possibly promotional considering the image is an "own work."

- Basil Bright: nominated at AfD; notified ClearAccuracy (talk · contribs) 16:57, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I thought this would be an easy one to remove the notability tag from, but there's no in-line citations, it's written very close to the subject, possibly by someone associated with the club, and he does appear to fail WP:NFOOTY. A search of the British Newspaper Archives didn't bring up anything obvious. I do not have access to the books listed in the references, so I don't mind if this is kept, but I did want to start a discussion on it.
- Wilbur Braithwaite: nominated at AfD; notified Jacobkhed (talk · contribs) 17:16, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: Tagged with a notability tag for almost a decade now. Youth sports coaches are generally not inherently notable, so thought I'd start a discussion. The case for keeping is that he was more accomplished than usual for a high school coach, having been elected to a high school coaching hall of fame and being selected to be the torch bearer for his small town for the Olympics, and as a result had several articles written on him, almost all by newspapers in Salt Lake City, but a couple church publications and a USA Today article. The case for deleting is that the vast majority of the coverage on him is routine sports coverage from the local paper, giving the article the feeling as if it's been written by someone close to the subject. It also appears many different Utahans carried the torch due to Salt Lake hosting the Olympics. While you can pass GNG with only local coverage, the only coverage outside of Utah I can find is local coverage from Connecticut and Florida mentioning his attendance at two hall of fame coaching conventions, showing what notability he had was quite local. I'm on the delete side here, as I don't think the extent of the coverage adds up to notability. I think relevant information can be merged into the high school's article, if one exists, but am interested to think what others make of this.

- Main St - Hamner Ave - Milliken Ave: nominated at AfD; notified 916crdshn (talk · contribs) 13:27, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I tagged this with notability concerns when reviewing instead of deleting, but the tag was removed quickly. This was just accepted at AfC, but I'm not sure why - the sourcing's nowhere near good enough in order for it to pass WP:GNG. Taking to AfD in order to resolve any conflicts.
- College Football Risk: nominated at AfD; notified Tanknight (talk · contribs) 05:51, 23 June 2021 (UTC)
- Reason: I think this fails WP:GNG - even though there are several sources, most are either primary or fan-run blogs. It looks like there's two non-blog articles which discuss the game (MSN and Fort Worth Star-Telegram) the MSN article simply picked up a Bleacher Report blog post here. The Fort Worth article is also relatively brief. Web searches brought up no additional reliable, secondary, significant coverage.

- Reason: Fails WP:GNG. None of the sources in the article are what we'd consider reliable and/or independent, and no part of his playing career gives him notability under WP:NCOLLATH or WP:GRIDIRON, and if not an autobio it looks like it was written by someone close to the subject.
- Jakub Slavík: nominated at AfD; notified Stereodice (talk · contribs) 11:45, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

- Reason: Demolished buildings and structures categories by city do not include specific neighbourhoods, the exceptions (New York boroughs) are all at higher-level geographic areas. This is one category level too granular and is an WP:OVERCAT and should just be upmerged one level.

edit- Kalamazoo Cobras: nominated at AfD; notified TrevorDuff18 (talk · contribs) 20:41, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Unsourced. All of the sources I found were published or authored by the team, or were about a criminal story only tangentially related to the team.
- Will Lamb (baseball): nominated at AfD; notified Muboshgu (talk · contribs) 20:42, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NBASE, run of the mill minor league baseball player whose career is over.
- Leighton Lillie: nominated at AfD; notified Amante di ducati (talk · contribs) 20:43, 2 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:GNG, can only find press coverage from his hometown.
- Zech Zinicola: nominated at AfD; notified Spanneraol (talk · contribs) 22:52, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Never made the majors, non-notable minor league career, good faith creation fails WP:NBASE.
- Nigel Nutt: nominated at AfD; notified Angy2801 (talk · contribs) 00:43, 7 March 2022 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable fencer, fails WP:GNG.

- Reason: Minor league prospect, fails WP:NBASE. Can possibly be redirected to the Braves prospect page.

- Reason: Non-notable cricketer, fails WP:GNG.
- TSJ FC Virginia: nominated at AfD; notified Sammyj (talk · contribs) 00:16, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Fails WP:NORG and WP:GNG as a youth soccer team. All of the coverage in the article is either about the Washington Spirit or is a primary press release, or an article on a former player which only briefly mentions the organisation. There is a WPSL section, but a third tier soccer team in the USA wouldn't necessarily pass WP:GNG, and I can't find any information on them either.

edit- Steve Callaway: nominated at AfD; notified Jonesey95 (talk · contribs) 20:29, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Non-notable mayor of a suburban town. A BEFORE search brings up only local coverage, and we traditionally do not keep articles on local politicians just because they have received coverage in the local paper per WP:NOT - otherwise every mayor for every town would have an article.

edit- Croatia–Italy football rivalry: nominated at AfD; notified HRCA1605 (talk · contribs) 20:57, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: A completely WP:SYNTH article - there is no actual "rivalry" between Vatreni and Italy, and it is not supported by the sources.
- Chi and Me: nominated at AfD; notified Bhavesh.Chauhan (talk · contribs) 09:43, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Reason: Sourced only to IMDB and its official site, this children's television show fails WP:GNG. It was soft deleted after an AfD in January closed with minimal participation and as such PROD is no longer possible.

- Reason: Out of sequence overcat - this is the only category in the "Demolished buildings and structures by city*" which is a neighbourhood of a city. London and New York are each broken out by jurisdictions, not neighbourhoods.*now populated places for some bizarre reason, even though city is more concise, and the category only contains cities.

- Reason: Not written in an encyclopedic format and fails WP:GNG - all of the sources are primary. If kept, needs significant cleanup. Some of this information may be able to be merged elsewhere, but I'm not sure where.
