This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Environment. 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|Environment|~~~~}} 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 Environment.
- 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.

Hits the WP:SERIESA formula pretty exactly - of the 12 citations on this article, 6 are funding announcements, 1 is a short uncritical profile of the CEO, 1 is a venturebeat article with a comment from the CEO on something unrelated to the company, 1 is a marketing release for a company, and the other 3 just acknowledge that the company launched an Autodesk CAD plugin while talking about something else.
No coverage which goes deeper than stating that a particular business deal took place. BrigadierG ( talk) 12:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Moved unilaterally to mainspace after prior draftification. I see poor referencing, churnalism, and lists of "stuff" albeit as prose. WP:BIO insists on references for facts subject to challenge, and there is a shortfall, so I see a WP:BIO failure. I also see WP:ADMASQ for a WP:ROTM "cross-platform media executive, filmmaker, print and broadcast journalist, and environmentalist." doing his job. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:51, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: PROMO. The sourcing used is either primary or passing mentions. Nothing we'd use for notability. Oaktree b ( talk) 16:57, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - Refer to my /Decode subpage (linked in my signature as "critiques").
- I can't assess https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/12/business/grid-news-site-live.html (walled).
- https://www.axios.com/2021/07/10/dc-journalists-launch-media-company is useless for notability ( too sparse). No discussion of Bauman.
- https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/03/grid-news-the-messenger-startup is useless for notability ( too sparse). Name-drop, zero discussion of Bauman.
- https://www.cnbc.com/2021/07/30/tech-exec-invests-in-digital-news-startup-launched-by-veteran-journalists.html is useless for notability ( too sparse). No discussion of Bauman; everything seemingly about him is actually claims about the startup attributed to Bauman.
- https://digiday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/07/DIGIDAY-MEDIA-AWARDS_Winners-Guide-2023_062923-2.pdf is a non-sequitur.
- I can't assess https://www.adweek.com/media/laura-mcgann-has-reimagined-reporting-using-an-intersectional-structurally-focused-approach/ (walled). Given the article is about someone else, I can't imagine this is too useful for an article on Bauman.
- https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20181001-is-this-the-last-chance-to-see-the-titanic is useless for notability ( too sparse, possibly wrong subject). Shit He Says, no actual discussion of Bauman. I should note that my own search for sources (string: "Mark Bauman") returned primarily non-responsive content, so I would be very concerned about conflating multiple Mark Baumans.

- https://thinkwellgroup.com/blog/2020/08/21/exploring-the-details-with-virtual-wonders/ is useless for notability ( too sparse). No discussion of Bauman.
- https://wyse.gmu.edu/mark-bauman/ is useless for notability ( connexion to subject). I note this bio omits anything involving GRID or any media startups; one would think, given their journalism pedigree is mentioned, that these would be brought up.
- https://thepearsoninstitute.org/speaker/mark-bauman is useless for notability ( connexion to subject). The image on this page looks like a completely different guy from the WYSE image, disregarding the glasses.

- https://www.cmu.edu/homepage/creativity/2010/fall/gigapixel-show.shtml is useless for notability ( too sparse, connexion to subject). Name-drop in an article about an event CMU is holding.
- We can't use either YouTube source ( unknown provenance). YouTube videos must be (1) produced by an outlet we would consider to be a reliable source and (2) uploaded to that outlet's verified channel to be linked to, let alone cited.
- https://thepearsoninstitute.org/globalforum2022 is useless for notability ( connexion to subject). Expo held by an organisation he's on the BoD of, and where he was scheduled to speak.
- We can't use https://www.erskine.edu/2023/02/07/stukes-lecture-set-for-march-1/ ( unknown provenance). No byline; who wrote this? (If this is a press release, it's useless for notability (no editorial oversight).)
- https://www.iinteract.org/about-us is useless for notability ( connexion to subject). Advisory board listing.
- https://www.wliw.org/about/awards/ is a non-sequitur.

- I've already made many edits based on reviews and thought it was ready for mainspace. Can someone please help me redraft this article to meet Wikipedia standards?
Terry Phillips (
talk) 20:59, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- Unless you find much better sources, any effort at redrafting would be futile. We're looking for in-depth, non-routine, independent-of-Bauman news/scholarly sources that discuss him at length, are written by identifiable authors, and subjected to rigourous editorial oversight and fact-checking. Without those, the subject cannot hope to meet WP:N or WP:BLP. — Jéské Couriano v^_^v threads critiques 21:08, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
