I've proposed an article for deletion and I came here to find out how I can add it to a deletion sort list. But the page as is doesn't give any instructions. Is there a "how-to" guide somewhere? If so, could it be linked from the project page? If not, could one be written? AncientWalrus ( talk) 17:33, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply

The user script User:Enterprisey/delsort is probably the easiest way post-nomination. During the initial nomination, WP:TWINKLE will let you do it. Hope that helps. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 20:25, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Thanks! It turns out that each deletion sorting topic actually includes a description of how to do it (through /info/en/?search=Template:Deletionlist). Just not the project page. Maybe this template could be added to the project page? AncientWalrus ( talk) 20:41, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Sure, feel free to WP:BEBOLD. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 20:59, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply

Done! AncientWalrus ( talk) 21:10, 7 October 2023 (UTC) reply

I've nominated Lost in the Game (film) for deletion. See here! Epa101 ( talk) 13:38, 27 January 2024 (UTC) reply

I suggest adding sport of athletics as a WP:DS category. The sport of athletics is one of only three sports-related Level 3 Wikipedia:Vital articles, along with Association football and the Olympic games, both of which already have their own DS categories. Athletics also has its own subject-specific notability guidelines at WP:NATH.

So as not to be confused with Athletics (physical culture), I suggest naming it "Sport of athletics". If there's no opposition, I can create the page myself and add it to Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Computer-readable.json. -- Habst ( talk) 18:11, 5 February 2024 (UTC) reply

This should now be complete, with Special:Diff/1205063404, Special:Diff/1205063770, and Special:Diff/1205064190. -- Habst ( talk) 19:36, 8 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Can we add climbing as a WP:DS category. It is a broad topic that covers rock climbing, mountaineering, ice climbing and competition climbing. I think it would be worth adding? Aszx5000 ( talk) 10:20, 28 April 2024 (UTC) reply
