Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Handball

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Handball. 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:

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.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Handball|~~~~}} 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 Handball. 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.

Subject does not meet WP:NBUILD due to a lack of independent non-routine coverage (Google search) Aydoh8 (talk | contribs) 13:55, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Handball and Serbia. Aydoh8 (talk | contribs) 13:55, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No coverage found in newspapers or in books. Fails WP:NBUILD as there is no coverage to indicate the importance of that building in any way. We don't need an article on every single building out there. Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 19:20, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Article fails WP:OR, and is a WP:STUB despite being 9 years old. Overall, article seems to not be WP:N. --Mjks28 (talk) 05:01, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOLY has changed since last AfD, inherent notability is only granted to medal winners. This article fails WP:SPORTSCRIT. Australia only played in the Olympics as a host nation and lost every game. Only primary sources provided. LibStar (talk) 18:27, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Women, Handball, and Australia. LibStar (talk) 18:27, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Olympics-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:05, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Sports biographies are subject to a heightened sourcing standard. See WP:SPORTBASIC prong 5: "Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources." This one-sentence stub does not meet the standard. Cbl62 (talk) 16:08, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Even gold medalists are not afforded inherent notability; as Cbl62 says, all sportsperson biographies must cite a source of SIGCOV in addition to the subject meeting GNG. A search through newspaper archives and ProQuest only turned up brief mentions in the context of the 2000 Games, a short local interview with her son some years later about his cancer, and an article that at first seemed promising but ended up only having a few of sentences actually on Bjarnason and included a high percentage of unencyclopedic details (like her husband and son being in the stands). JoelleJay (talk) 02:19, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Unable to find any WP:SIGCOV for this subject to meet the WP:GNG. The only sources are primary, and multiple searches didn't come up with much better. Let'srun (talk) 22:04, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
