Deletion Sorting
Project

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to COVID-19. 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|COVID-19|~~~~}} 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.
Note that 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 links to other discussions ( prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to COVID-19.

I'm not sure which WP:N criteria to apply here, whether it's NMUSIC, WP:NEVENTS, or just GNG. However, it doesn't meet any of those. This PROMO was created based on coverage that doesn't seem to have WP:SUSTAINED coverage. An interesting point to note is that the article claims the song features 40 musicians from seven countries, but I couldn't find coverage in RS outside Pakistan, except this and this but they're PAID placements. Interestingly, the creator also once nominated it for FA. Seems quite UPE. — Saqib ( talk I contribs) 11:41, 11 May 2024 (UTC) reply

  • Keep: Source 7 is listed as a RS, I find this from a Gulf newspaper [1] and this from the UN [2]. It's a global collaboration among what seem to be mostly unknown artists, but with some minimal coverage. Oaktree b ( talk) 00:06, 12 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    Is this the same song? [3], if yes, could help notability. Oaktree b ( talk) 00:08, 12 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    Oaktree b, This Gulf-Times coverage stems from an interview, so it's ROTM coverage. Similarly, the coverage from UN and CTV News is UNRELATED to this song. They don't even mention Kashan Adani, the producer of this song, nor any mention of Pakistan. Anyone arguing to keep this article must present
    three best sources     to determine if this song passes GNG. — Saqib ( talk I contribs) 09:57, 12 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    It seems there were several songs with the same name "We Are One" during the COVID period. — Saqib ( talk I contribs) 10:01, 12 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    Ok, so we can remove the UN and CTV article, even if the Gulf article stems from an interview, it's still fairly extensive, I'm still at a !keep, week keep, but yes. Oaktree b ( talk) 19:58, 12 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    Oaktree b, From what I gather, sources like Gulf Times are acceptable for WP:V but they may not enough to meet WP:GNG as they need to meet the WP:SIRS. — Saqib ( talk I contribs) 09:00, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as well as the Gulf piece, this is significant coverage in this reliable source [4], more coverage here, passes WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 ( talk) 21:05, 12 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    • Atlantic306, Coverage in above cited Express Tribune and BOL News stories, including the one in Gulf Times, were published in late May/early June 2020, coinciding with the song's launch on 28 May 2020. However, the criteria require sustained and significant coverage to reflect lasting relevance, which I don't observe here. Furthermore, the coverage by Express Tribune and Gulf Times, based on interviews, does not meet the WP:SIRS criteria. Additionally, BOL News coverage, being a WP:NEWSORGINDIA, may not be reliable enough even for WP:GNG. — Saqib ( talk I contribs) 09:09, 13 May 2024 (UTC) reply
