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

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia.

Dastan Satpayev (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Contested draftification. The only coverage of this football player I can find are trivial announcements that he'll be joining Chelsea and run-of-the-mill stories about his scoring in particular games. The Forbes article appears to be unreliable per WP:FORBESCON. Note that NFOOTY has been explicitly repealed by consensus of the community. See Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Sports notability#202203070648_Wugapodes_2 and Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)/Archive 49#Association football (soccer). voorts (talk/contributions) 00:17, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football, Kazakhstan, and England. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:17, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Keep I already cited the most no. of sources and citations in Eng than other language versions, even more than the Kazakh version. Also included sourves from Kazakhstan FA and FC Kairat, please consider those. Chelsdog (talk) 05:13, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep International player, loads of sources on google, did you bother with a WP:BEFORE, [1], [2], [3]. Terrible nomination in my opinion. Govvy (talk) 08:26, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Did you read the part of my nom where I said all of the sources I could find are trivial coverage or run of the mill stories about his transfer to Chelsea? voorts (talk/contributions) 14:36, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – Per above. Svartner (talk) 12:08, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Source assessment confirms that the coverage is largely based on participation. Participation-based coverage is not sufficient for notability based on the two RfCs linked to in the nom. If footy editors want that changed, they're welcome to go start another RfC at NSPORTS. voorts (talk/contributions) 15:39, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 16:51, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - no evidence of notability. Sources are too trivial/routine. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. GiantSnowman 16:56, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  added few more sources including BBC and YAHOO News. I guess they would be notable and reliable enough? Chelsdog (talk) 06:39, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  BBC is not significant coverage. Here's what it says about Satpayev in full: "Chelsea have also lined up a deal for Kazakh 16-year-old Dastan Satpaev, who completed a successful trial at Cobham Training Centre in recent weeks. The striker is expected to join Chelsea's academy teams from FC Kairat."

  Yahoo News republishes other websites, in this case SportsView. That story is exactly the same as all of the other ones, a trivial announcement that Chelsea signed Satpayev. voorts (talk/contributions) 18:10, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – Forbes, Vesti 2, and Chelsea Chronicle are decent enough to meet WP:GNG in my view. All Wikipedia articles require multiple significant coverage on reliable secondary sources. If his career with Chelsea FC does not pan out when he officially arrives there (e.g. only played a few matches), this page should be deleted. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 11:27, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Take a look at WP:FORBESCON. Vesti 2 is about a single game, which per the RFCs I linked above is insufficient to establish notability. voorts (talk/contributions) 18:11, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, clearly passes GNG with Kazakh sources and now after his big transfer.--Ortizesp (talk) 12:24, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
