- 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|Caribbean|~~~~}} 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 Caribbean.
- 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 Americas.

- Redirect to WVXF: it is mentioned there as the predecessor of WVXF's Fox subchannel, which might be enough to make it a valid alternative to deletion. (It does seem odd to think of a Fox affiliate as "not independently notable", but this appears to be one of those rare cases.) WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:33, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

The result was nom withdrawn and it doesn't seem like the only other non-keep ( Timtrent) actually wants to challenge notability, merely give time for improvement, so I'm closing this per SK1 for now, with no prejudice against speedy renomination if anyone does decide that they believe the company is non-notable.

The article was created, moved to draftspace, then moved back to article space by the page creator before a review occurred. I was advised to start a debate here by @ Jéské Couriano:. DeemDeem52 ( talk) 18:00, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

- @
DeemDeem52, The only need to start an AFD is if you think it should be deleted. AFC is optional and articles do not need to be reviewed by the AFC volunteers, except in certain cases of COI or a history of undesirable content creation. So if you do not think this should be deleted and is demonstrably notable you can withdraw this nomination.

- Draftify: The history shows this to be a disputed draftification. It appears to be susceptible to improvement, though I have not determined its true notability. Draft space gives those interested the time and peace and quiet to see if the can be achieved 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 18:38, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep or Draftify: Searching for info on this, it clearly meets GNG and there is lot of room to expand (which might be best to do in draft space instead of keeping it as a stub). —Carter (Tcr25) ( talk) 19:50, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep, while a little rushed, notability is demonstrated here and while AfC or draftify is preferential when an article isn't suitable for mainspace, there is nothing inherently wrong with this stub. microbiologyMarcus petri dish· growths 20:43, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Withdraw: The article has now been reviewed, so I don't think there's really any more reason to keep this up for draftification. (I think the relevant policy would now require a speedy keep from someone who's not me, though.) DeemDeem52 ( talk) 18:35, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, there's pretty much zero coverage of this person outside of the routine announcements, and NPOL doesn't extend to everybody working in the office of the state level politicans in question. Alpha3031 ( t • c) 13:37, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: This article meets
WP:GNG as far as I can tell. If the sources are reliable and fully backed up being the host of a notable TV show possibly meets
WP:ENT. The NPOL may not be for here. Why not redirect to the show?

- I won't quibble on whether they had a significant role (eswiki article on the show is no help since it only goes up to 2008 and has even fewer references than ours), but ENT specifically says multiple, SafariScribe, and I don't think I've seen anything that claims they were part of any other notable production. I also don't see anything that could really be considered GNG or BASIC-level SIGCOV, anything beyond bare mentions seem to be routine coverage surrounding the announcement, excluded by SBST. No objection to redirect though, I just didn't want to BLAR since I anticipated an objection was not unlikely. Alpha3031 ( t • c) 13:28, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Baseball tournament scheduled for 2025 fails WP:GNG. All sources are press releases from the participating teams or sponsor organization. The only media coverage ( [4], [5]) is churnalism regurgitating the press releases and cannot support notability per WP:NEWSORG. Until there is sufficient WP:SIGCOV in secondary, independent, reliable sources, it's WP:TOOSOON for this article. As an AtD, I propose to draftify, since I expect there will be coverage next year closer to or after the event. Dclemens1971 ( talk) 14:29, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

I found nothing that shows notability. Her only claim to fame per WP:BIO1E is winning a beauty pageant. Even if that is considered to be enough, I have been unable to verify her win with a reliable source which is very odd. SL93 ( talk) 00:46, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

- Delete per nom; the beauty pageant results are insufficient coverage for a biographical article, and there is no sign of other coverage beyond her personal social media (which does not suggest that she is a public figure). Walsh90210 ( talk) 03:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. She and her partner were interviewed by their local newspaper after they returned from a holiday in Barcelona where they were very close to a terror attack and then dealt with two hurricanes, which is neither here nor there. Cielquiparle ( talk) 04:46, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Fails GNG, NGEO, NBUILDING. All sources are to news coverage, mostly of crime, that mentions the subject in passing as the location of the crime but does not provide significant coverage. No SIGCOV comes up in a BEFORE search either. Dclemens1971 ( talk) 16:33, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Architecture and Puerto Rico. Shellwood ( talk) 18:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep They aren't just passing mentions, there are also the article headlines. Plus the fact the place is on the news brings it notability. People in Puerto Rico talk about the place daily. Jeanette Tu Loca Sexy Martin ( aqui?) 19:31, 13 May, 2024 (UTC)
- Being in the headline is not the test of significant coverage. The articles are about other things in the news (crimes, individual people) that happen to mention the event happened/people lived in the Residencial Manuel A. Perez. Those events/people are getting the significant coverage. Dclemens1971 ( talk) 19:51, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

- Delete The article and the sources are about some crimes that have taken place at this location, which I assume is being named as a residence complex. I don't see anything that would explain the significance of the named complex in these crimes. The residencia is a backdrop, not a foreground for the crimes. There would need to be more about the residencia itself for this article to be kept. Lamona ( talk) 03:43, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
