Before nominating: checks and alternatives

Shortcut

Prior to nominating article(s) for deletion, please be sure to:

A. Read and understand these policies and guidelines
  1. The Wikipedia deletion policy, which explains valid grounds for deletion.
  2. The main four guidelines and policies that inform deletion discussions: notability (WP:N), verifiability (WP:V), reliable sources (WP:RS), and what Wikipedia is not (WP:NOT)
  3. Subject-specific notability guidelines, which can be found at Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines
B. Carry out these checks
  1. Confirm that the article does not meet the criteria for quick deletion.
  2. If there are verifiability, notability or other sourcing concerns, take reasonable steps to search for reliable sources. (See step D.)
  3. Review the article's history to check for potential vandalism or poor editing.
  4. Read the article's talk page for previous nominations and/or that your objections haven't already been dealt with.
  5. Check "What links here" in the article's sidebar, to see how the page is used and referenced within Wikipedia.
  6. Check if there are interlanguage links, also in the sidebar, which may lead to more developed and better sourced articles. Likewise, search for native-language sources if the subject has a name in a non-Latin alphabet (such as Japanese or Greek), which is often in the lead.
C. Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted
  1. If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for RfD.
  2. If the article was recently created, please consider allowing the contributors more time to develop the article.
  3. If an article has issues try first raising your concerns on the article's talk page, with the main contributors, and/or adding a cleanup tag, such as {{notability}}, {{hoax}}, {{original research}}, or {{advert}}; this ensures readers are aware of the problem and may act to fix it.
  4. If the topic is not important enough to merit an article on its own, consider merging or redirecting to an existing article. This should be done particularly if the topic name is a likely search term.
D. Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability
  1. The minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Books search, a Google News search, and a Google News archive search; Google Scholar is suggested for academic subjects.
  2. If you find a lack of sources, you've completed basic due diligence before nominating. However, if a quick search does find sources, this does not always mean an RfD on a sourcing basis is unwarranted. If you spend more time examining the sources, and determine that they are insufficient, e.g., because they only contain passing mention of the topic, then an RfD nomination may still be appropriate.
  3. If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination. Instead, you should consider citing the sources, or at minimum apply an appropriate template to the page that flags the sourcing concern. Common templates include {{unreferenced}}, {{refimprove}}, {{third-party}}, {{primary sources}} and {{one source}}.

Discussed deletion

Put the deletion tag on the article.
  1. Click "Change source" at the top of the page to be deleted.
  2. In the edit box, add this tag: {{rfd|REASON}}. Put it at the top of the page, above the rest of the text. Then, replace the text "REASON" with a short reason why the page should be deleted. Do not be too specific here. You can add more details on the discussion page (see below).
    • It is a good idea to write a change summary to let others know what you are doing. You can say "nominating for deletion", "requesting deletion", or something like that.
  3. Click "Save changes" at the bottom to save the page with the deletion tag at the top.
    • You can also check the "Watch this page" check box to add the page to your watchlist. This lets you know if the page for deletion has been changed. If the deletion tag is removed any time before the discussion is closed, it should be put back.
Create a discussion page.
  1. If the deletion tag has been added to the page, a box should appear at the top of the article with a link saying "Click here to create a discussion page!" Click that link.
  2. You should be taken to a page starting with "Creating Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/..." along with the current year and the name of the article to be deleted. In the edit box, the following tag should have already been added: {{RfD/Preload/Template}} . Replace the text PLACE REASON HERE with a more detailed reason why the page should be deleted.
    • It is helpful to include links to the various policy pages about Wikipedia (that begin with Wikipedia:). Here are some examples of this: "This article is [[Wikipedia:COMPLEX|not easy to understand]]" or "Not a [[Wikipedia:notable|notable]] topic''. This will make others more aware of why the page is not acceptable under Wikipedia's policies.
  3. Click "Save changes" to save the new discussion page when you are done.
    • A change summary you can write for this page is "creating discussion page", "starting deletion discussion", or something like that.
    • As with the page for deletion, you can check the "Watch the page" box. This will let you know if someone else has replied to your discussion.
List it here
  1. Copy the title of the discussion page to the clipboard. You can do this by dragging the mouse over the text from "Wikipedia" to the end of the page title to highlight it, then right-clicking and selecting "Copy".
  2. Go to the list of deletion requests, and click "change source" beside the words "Current deletion request discussions".
  3. At the top of the list of discussions, paste the title from the clipboard (right-click and select "Paste"). Add a pair of curly brackets before and after the title to make a template that will copy the content of the discussion page onto the main deletion page, like this:
    {{Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2026/(name of page to be deleted)}}
  4. Finally, click "Save changes" to add the discussion to the list. If the page saves successfully, you should see your deletion discussion at the top of the list. And that's it!

If this is too complicated for you, there are some gadgets like Twinkle that you can use. This allows you to do it faster.

Quick deletion

See also: Wikipedia:Deletion policy § Quick deletion

If you think a page has nonsense content, add {{non}} to the top of the page.

If you think a page does not say why the subject is important, add {{notable}} to the top of the page.

If you think a page should be deleted per other quick deletion rules, add {{QD|reason}} to the top of the page.

Notifying the user

Generally, you should try to be civil and tell the user that created the page to join the discussion talking about the page. This can be done by adding {{subst:RFDNote|page to be deleted}} ~~~~ to the bottom of their talkpage.

Discussions

See also: Wikipedia:Deletion review
  • The discussion is not a vote. Please make suggestions on what action to take, and support your suggestion with reasons.
  • Please look at the article before you make a suggestion. Do not make an opinion using only the information given by the nominator. Looking at the history of the article may help to understand the situation.
  • Please read other comments and suggestions. They may have helpful information.
  • Start your comments or suggestions on a new line. Start with * and sign after your comment by adding ~~~~ to the end. If you are responding to another editor, put your comment directly below theirs and make sure your comment is indented (using more than one *).
  • New users can make suggestions, but their ideas may not be considered, especially if the suggestion seems to be made in bad faith. The opinion of users who had an account before the start of the request may be given more weight or importance.
  • Suggestions by users using "sock puppets" (more than one account belonging to the same person) will not be counted.
  • Please make only one suggestion. If you change your mind, change your first idea instead of adding a new one. The best way to do this is to put <s> before your old idea and </s> after it. For example, if you wanted to delete an article but now think it should be kept, you could put: "Delete keep".
  • If you would like an article to be kept, you can improve the article and try to fix the problems given in the request for deletion. If the reasons given in the nomination are fixed by changing, the nomination can be withdrawn by the nominator, and the deletion discussion will be closed by an administrator.
  • Try to avoid confusing suggestions, such as delete and merge.
  • Requests for deletion is not a war zone. You can click here for more information, although the page is not in Simple English.

Remember: You do not have to make a suggestion for every nomination. You should think about not making a suggestion if:

  1. A nomination involves a topic that you do not know much about.
  2. Everyone has made the same suggestion and you agree with that suggestion.
  • All times are in UTC.

Prince Al-Nabhan

Prince Al-Nabhan (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete) · close request · open RfD subpage

ViscountDagon has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: This article purports the existence of a European-style "Prince of al-Nabhan" title of nobility, mixed with small snippets of authentic information about the real Nabhani dynasty of Oman (Wikipedia:Do not create hoaxes). However, this claim isn't sourced and originates from a Brazilian national who's been attempting to attain recognition as a "Prince" by asserting a connection to this medieval dynasty because his Levantine grandfather's surname was "Nabhan", which is just a common Arabic name. there exists no independent information on such a Brazilian or Levantine offshoot of the dynasty, and it has never been something of note before being asserted by this person earlier this year (Wikipedia:Notability). The creation of a wiki page about him was previously attempted without success, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Pietro_Bryan_Nabhan_Dias, and multiple wiki pages about the dynasty were vandalised, with no sources attached, to include his claims, a summary of those claims could be found on some online encyclopedias like Miraheze's Royalpedia and Fandom's British Royal Family Wiki & Monarchies Wiki, however, they were all blanked yesterday coinciding with when I began cleaning up the Wiki articles that were affected by the hoax. This article is where it's stated the main claim is "his own discovery", https://midiamax.com.br/midiamais/2026/principe-sul-mato-grossense-descobre-ligacao-familiar-antiga-dinastia-arabe/ ViscountDagon (talk) 12:53, 10 October 2026 (UTC)

Anti-Judaism and antisemitism

Anti-Judaism and antisemitism (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete) · close request · open RfD subpage

Ferien has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: This article is honestly quite a mess. Firstly, it is a piece by blocked user Steven1991. As always from them, it is extremely complex and unsuitable for this Wikipedia. It tries to combine anti-Judaism and antisemitism, and these are quite distinct things - I will let the enwiki article explain it (from w:en:Anti-Judaism, see that article's history for attribution) "Although these designations share a commonality—hatred towards a group of people—each term encompasses unique ideologies and prejudices. [...] Anti-Judaism encapsulates those who oppose the Jewish religion and religious system. [...] Antisemites hate and target Jews for their ethnic Jewish identity rather than religious beliefs." We already have the article antisemitism, that this article mostly covers. An article directly addressing Anti-Judaism would be more preferable, but it is clear this cannot be a base for it. --Ferien (talk | join TBA!) 09:27, 9 October 2026 (UTC)

I respectfully oppose the deletion of this article. The Times of Hersican is an active digital news publication based in Bangladesh, established on 18 June 2026.

I request that the article be given an opportunity for improvement rather than being deleted immediately. Protik Tushita (talk) 13:41, 4 October 2026 (UTC)
I respectfully disagree. Refs 1, 3 and 4 are clearly not independent sources and ref 2 (MENAFN) is a dead link. If reliable independent sources exist then please add them to the article.

I believe the article should be assessed based on the available independent sources.

The subject has received coverage from multiple Nigerian media organisations, including P.M. News, The Independent Nigeria, Vanguard, The Guardian, BusinessDay, and The Punch. These sources cover different aspects of Bosa Lee's career and work in blogging and talent management.

I believe these sources should be assessed individually for reliability and significant coverage rather than treating Nigerian sources collectively as dubious.

I am also working to improve the article by adding additional independent sources and ensuring that citations directly support the relevant claims.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Godofwar21 (talk • contribs) 19:33, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

  • Keep: second and third sprces have much more information about Divecha Kolis. Classification section have its own seperate source so this article is qualified for Keep.Bassloverpunj (talk)
    • Source 2 mentions them in a single sentence: "...for the young men and women of Chumwalia, Talpada, Ghediya, Divecha and other Koli communities studying in higher education families living across the state of Gujarat." That's not in-depth coverage. It's tough to judge the coverage of source 3 since it's only a book preview and not a full text, but it appears to be, at most, half of a page of information.

The trade press (APOTHEKE ADHOC, Deutsche Apotheker Zeitung) covered the "Mondpreise" case from the 2022 ruling to the Frankfurt appeal court rejecting the company's appeal in December 2024. Der Spiegel and manager magazin also wrote about the company putting its money into Bitcoin. That is independent coverage in two separate contexts, which is enough. The article still cites weak material, but that can be fixed by editing. O`oyle (talk) 10:00, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep. The court case over the Lauer-Taxe prices was covered by independent pharmacy trade press (APOTHEKE ADHOC in 2022 and 2025, plus Deutsche Apotheker Zeitung). The company's Bitcoin reserve was covered in depth by manager magazin and Der Spiegel. These are reliable sources that are not press releases, so I think they meet WP:GNG. I agree that the crypto blogs and promotional sources should be removed or replaced, but that is a reason to clean up the article, not to delete it. Speakerweaker (talk) 11:56, 6 October 2026 (UTC)

CountryANDWestern has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Notability isn’t established through significant coverage in independent sources. The two provided are related to his teams.

He is part of the squad of FC Red Bull Salzburg (playing in the Europa League) and just scored a goal yeserday for the team. I think this is enough.--Werner100359 Update: Camara is in the squad for the Burkina Faso national football team.(talk) 05:08, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

I'm less familiar with the notability criteria for footballers on Simple English Wikipedia but, correct me if I'm wrong, I don't believe that playing in the Europa League or being in a national team squad is an automatic pass. Spiderone (talk) 08:42, 21 September 2026 (UTC)

  • Keep. Carbon held a named chair at Franklin & Marshall College (Richard S. and Ann B. Barshinger Professor of Music) from 1984 until he retired in 2020, which can meet criterion 5 of WP:NPROF. His music has been released on established labels such as Naxos and Convivium Records, and The New York Times noted a performance of his work at Merkin Concert Hall. The article needs better sources, and many of the current ones are store or profile pages, but that is a reason to improve it, not delete it. Speakerweaker (talk) 12:03, 6 October 2026 (UTC)
A named chair at a smaller school like F&M doesn’t meet the criteria of NPROF. There is no significant coverage shown for him. CountryANDWestern (talk) 22:30, 6 October 2026 (UTC)

CountryANDWestern has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Notability isn't established through significant coverage in reliable sources. The sources provided include a bunch of Apple Music listings. The articles don't appear to be all that reliable when translated. The "Hafez Music and Theatre Awards" does not appear to be notable; I cannot find coverage of these awards -- the Google results are IMDB and this Wikipedia page. CountryANDWestern (talk) 11:56, 15 September 2026 (UTC)

Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

Discussion

  • Keep, with further cleanup. I have worked on this article, so I should make that clear. I agree that the Apple Music pages are useful for release information, but are not evidence of notability. I have now reduced their use to release and catalogue details.

After the nomination, I found a substantial signed profile by Fatemeh Rajabi in Haft-e Sobh (issue 3084, page 3), titled “Reza Bahram from Yazd to Berlin”. It is not a ticket listing or a press release. The article discusses his background, early career, musical style, position in the Iranian pop market and European concert tour. There are also separate signed critical reviews from Honaronline and Mehr News Agency that discuss his casting and performance in Si-Sad, including criticism.

On the Hafez award, I agree that it should not be the main argument for notability. I included it only as a sourced career fact. Honaronline reported the full list of winners and named Bahram as best pop singer, while Saba News reported the nominations. The award therefore does have published coverage, although I am not relying on it by itself.

With the detailed newspaper profile and the separate critical coverage, I think there is enough non-trivial secondary coverage to keep and continue improving the article. Bifmark (talk) 16:52, 15 September 2026 (UTC)

  • I rechecked the Haft-e Sobh link and have removed it from the article, since the linked file is no longer available and I do not want to rely on a source that other editors cannot verify. I have, however, found and added several accessible sources that clarify the other points raised in the nomination.
  • The award mentioned in the article is the Ali Moallem Theatre and Music ceremony, also called the Hafez Award (Tandis-e Hafez), rather than the better-known cinema and television Hafez Awards. 31Nama and a report attributed to Mehr News Agency state that Bahram received its best pop singer award for “Asheghi Mamnoo” at the first ceremony in 2022. Honaronline and iFilm report that he received the best pop singer award again at the third ceremony in 2025. I agree that an award should not, by itself, decide notability, but the award and its coverage are verifiable and are not based on IMDb.
  • I have removed some weaker material and corrected the award section. Taken together, the two independent reviews, repeated documented awards, festival coverage and international performance record seem sufficient to support keeping a concise, carefully sourced article, although further trimming of catalogue-style material would be reasonable. Keep, with continued cleanup. Bifmark (talk) 15:27, 17 September 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep - The subject clearly meets notability guidelines (WP:GNG) through coverage in reliable sources. The article shouldn't be deleted just for being short; there is significant room for expansion. Mirzaei0098 (talk) 09:02, 21 September 2026 (UTC)
    No one ever argued for deletion due to it being short (it’s not). I also note you’ve never edited here prior to this comment. CountryANDWestern (talk) 10:30, 21 September 2026 (UTC)
    Fair point, I phrased the reason for deletion poorly.
    For context, I have been active on Persian Wikipedia for more than 14 years, although I have not previously edited the Simple English Wikipedia. I have also edited Reza Bahram's Persian article several times. I noticed that an S. English article about him had been created, became curious, and that is how I came across this deletion discussion.
    My keep !vote is based on the available independent coverage and WP:GNG. I believe there is enough reliable material to establish notability and expand the article. So while this is my first edit here, it is not my first experience with Wikipedia or with this subject. Mirzaei0098 (talk) 09:39, 22 September 2026 (UTC)

Unsure if these are already in the article & I can see that the current article is leaning heavily on op-eds & non-inde stuff, but a search on Google might stand up Notability. ~2026-49480-42 (talk) 12:16, 11 September 2026 (UTC)
These sources don't help much. Business Insider is his own words. I cannot verify the reliability of the remaining sources, but PE Hub definitely doesn't seem reliable and the Bilanz appears to be just a brief bio/profile. CountryANDWestern (talk) 12:53, 11 September 2026 (UTC)
Will leave with the rest of the Wiki. PE Hub is the leading publication in the private equity space. AGBI is the leading biz publication in UAE. Bilanz is their profile / bio on him as part of their annual billionaire's list, i.e., like a Forbes entry. There is also less positive stuff:

  • Well, if we take all jokes we can then rank them according to done funniness measure and we take the tip item. In theory this works perfectly, it only has two issues: we need to agree on a measure, which isn't easy, especially since there are billions. And secondly, there are any infinite number of jokes. In short: delete -Eptalon (talk) 14:16, 29 September 2026 (UTC)
