This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to United States of America. 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|United States of America|~~~~}} 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 United States of America. 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 Americas.

There does not appear to be significant independent coverage Thebiguglyalien (talk) 06:23, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople and United States of America. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 06:23, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Sourcing:
- Guardian article isn't significant coverage
- Southern Illinoisian article is *about* a partnership that's not independent (he gave them the books about him to read), but the article itself is indepdent, reliable, and significant
- The "Steer Your Business Magazine" article seems very likely non-independent
- MoneyMarketing doesn't really cover *him*
- BusinessInsider is mostly him saying "I got rich by saving", may or may not be significant coverage, definitely independent
- OutsourcingAngel is non-reliable
- HillSong is just an event invite + non-independent
- His autobiography & other book are non-independent
- I am also unable to find any other sources, other than what is already in the article, on a quick look. His claims to fame seem to be (a) being a millionaire who was once homeless and (b) owning Genistar. But the S.Ill. + Bus.Insider don't really make enough coverage for (a), and (b) would be better in its own article. Therefore, Delete, lacking any sources.

- Delete: Article doesn't include any reliable secondary sources. Four of the references are for International Science Nutrition Society, of which the subject is the founder. Potential RS sources I found include an article from May 5, 2024 about one of her books in the Idaho Statesman (via Newspapers.com - also published in other newspapers around the country) and a passing mention for sponsoring a documentary that won award at NYC film festival.

Considering that CFA easily found more articles that have coverage of the subject, I do not understand if @Miminity: has simply not read through the AfD guidelines prior to marking this article for deletion, or whether he did not do a thorough enough search through the internet before the deletion marking.

Article about a film, not reliably sourced as passing WP:NFILM. As always, every film is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists, and instead films must show WP:GNG-worthy coverage about them in third-party reliable sources -- but this is referenced entirely to the filmmaker's own self-published content about it, and makes absolutely no notability claim (awards, etc.) above and beyond "film that exists". And even on a WP:BEFORE search, I mostly found more primary sources -- all I found for GNG-worthy reliable source coverage was two hits in the local media of the city where the director was living at the time, of the "local man tries to make film" and "local man screens film locally" varieties, which is not enough by itself in the absence of any wider attention.

I was going to BLAR this article to Fringe (TV series), but saw that it was previously kept at AfD (albeit in 2011), so I'm erring on the side of caution. This fan wiki fails WP:WEBCRIT and WP:GNG. The site lacks sustained, significant coverage in reliable sources. All of the sources were published between 2008 and 2011. Source evaluation:
- Ref 1 is a direct link to the site.
- Ref 2 states, regarding the wiki, in full: "Meanwhile, fans of the show have set up the mandatory, unofficial databank, Fringepedia. Same rules apply for entries there as with any wiki site."
- Ref 3 states, regarding the wiki, in full: "War over edits to Astrid's page: Have an hour or six to waste? You might want to dig into Fringepedia. Take a dip in the pool of collective knowledge. Help figure out what the images that lead into or out of each commercial break denote. Meticulously catalog every narcotic Walter professes to take. Or just spell-check every instance of 'Fibonacci Sequence.' It's fun for everyone."
- Ref 4 appears to have a couple of brief mentions of Fringepedia that note that it's a wiki for the show, but without much more than that.
I have been unable to find additional reliable sources providing significant coverage.
Note that I am in the process of creating List of fan wikis (currently a draft in my userspace), but the WP:LISTCRIT is WP:CSC #1 (all entries meet WP:GNG; the intention is to prevent list cruft and an entry for every single fan wiki on Fandom), so merging would not be appropriate. Additionally, I don't think that merging to Fringe (TV series) would be due. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:50, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Delete per well-reasoned argument by nominator. The LA Times and Wired mentions provide verifiability for maybe a line about Fringepedia in the Fringe (TV series) article, but aren't the significant coverage necessary for independent notability. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 06:37, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
- History of Saturday Night Live (1975–1980) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I am also nominating the other pages in this SNL history series:
- History of Saturday Night Live (1980–1985)
- History of Saturday Night Live (1985–1990)
- History of Saturday Night Live (1990–1995)
- History of Saturday Night Live (1995–2000)
- History of Saturday Night Live (2000–2005)

- History of Saturday Night Live (2010–2015)
- History of Saturday Night Live (2015–2020)
- History of Saturday Night Live (2020–present)
These articles are rife with original research, unsourced and poorly sourced statements, useless cast trivia, and redundant cast lists that are already located in their respective season articles. Most of the pages segment everything by season anyway and are not the broader look at the show history that they are supposed to be. Several of them have had cleanup tags for almost a decade. They are rarely edited. And they are arbitrarily segmented by five year increments for no specific reason; this appears to be a random decision made 20 years ago in 2004 that nobody has questioned since then.
Myself and another editor have been working on a successor for these pages; it's currently at Draft:History of Saturday Night Live. It functions as the broader look at show history that these nine pages were supposed to be. It is not just redundant of the existing season pages; it makes extensive use of reliable sources and is the broader look at show history. I propose that this new page replace these existing pages. There are many benefits to this: consolidating editor efforts on one page, ditching the arbitrary separation, less maintenance effort required across multiple pages, etc.
I have already merged any non-duplicate info from these old pages into the appropriate SNL season articles. There will be nothing lost by deleting/redirecting them to the new page. I announced this plan about a week ago on the SNL talk page and have received no opposition at this point. StewdioMACK (talk) 15:01, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

- delete and redirect to History of Saturday Night Live assuming the merged draft article is moved to mainspace. Two comments:
- the current status of the draft vs. the mainspace article is confusing - is the draft article a copy of the existing article that got edited?
- the draft is extremely long now, over 127K but the draft currently seems manageable because of headings/subheadings
- Oblivy (talk) 23:16, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The draft started as a copy of the existing history on the main SNL page and was then expanded, and portions of some other articles were used in some cases, remixed, and condensed (per summary style) attempting to give credit in edit summaries where possible. Regarding the length, it is long, but it is a lot to cover and consideration has been given to give equal weight to different eras without breaching the rules of thumb on WP:LENGTH. Parts of the article may still be able to be optimised to further reduce size, but I'd argue that it's an appropriate size for the amount of time that it's covering. StewdioMACK (talk) 05:59, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Administrative close 1) To the extent that text has been used from these articles in a draft, we cannot delete these without deleting that draft, per WP:CWW. 2) The draft is apparently not ready for prime time, and a redirect from these articles to draft space would be an impermissible cross-namespace redirect. 3) There should be no waiting period per WP:RENOM to redirect these to the draft once it is mainspaced. That is, this is a bit premature, although the final solution is obvious and probably not controversial enough to even need an AfD discussion. Jclemens (talk) 00:24, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: To clarify, the article is ready for primetime; every part of the article is a significant improvement over its predecessors that I've nominated, and I've just made some further edits today. Apologies if this is seen as a misuse of AfD but I believed it was consenus to use AfD for potentially contentious significant moves like this. I've just attempted to mainspace the new article but ran into technical issues as there's an existing redirect at the new address (History of Saturday Night Live); if it's the preferred course of action, maybe I can take this to requested moves, boldly redirect the old articles (to preserve page histories), and we can close this AfD. StewdioMACK (talk) 05:59, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to the corresponding sections of the full History article or the History article itself once the draft is moved to mainspace. (To clarify, I am one of the contributors to the draft.) If it were me, I would have moved the draft to mainspace first because it's already of decent quality, then AfD the articles, or even boldly redirect them. I would move it right now, but not until I get StewdioMACK's input, and the AfD is already ongoing, anyways. And as a note to other contributors, there are plans to develop the article to cut out cruft plus possibly sending it to PR for a check, so no worries on any problems currently existing with the draft.

Per the policy, notability is based on "a politician has receiving "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists."

None of the references in this article about a lawyer show significant secondary coverage in reliable sources. I have carried out WP:BEFORE and not found references to add; I have removed two existing references which did not mention him. Article has been tagged as orphan for six years, notability and advert for two years, and was recently tagged with possible CoI. It was also recently cut down by another editor from a longer version with no sources, but the quality of those sources is not better than the existing ones.

- Comment When I looked at this I thought it would be a straightforward senior-lawyer vanity page. I tend to agree that on his career alone, he gets nowhere towards WP:GNG despite having been prominent. There are a few borderline articles like this and this talking about him taking on clients and a court judgment relating to conflict of interest. But nothing that profiles him in the way this article does that doesn't seem to be relying on a press release and CV. Note that the article doesn't mention he's Pam Bondi's brother but that's not inherited. He also got coverage for endowing a scholarship.Where there is substantial coverage about him is this WSJ article about his 330 acre property and graveyard (someone else's family, also interviewed). The story is also here credited to WSJ. Cumulatively does this get him across the line? I'm doubtful but would be interested to see further views. Oblivy (talk) 02:04, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete To improve the reliability of sources, it's essential to move beyond press releases, biographies/resumes, and articles drafted by the subject. The apparent CoI editing may be the most problematic. If the subject met WP:GNG, none of the above would be needed. Regarding the WSJ article about the property, the subject is a self-described contributor to WSJ. 2601:18E:C47E:CA30:28D2:4D3:69FF:69B0 (talk) 01:09, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comments - First, there are several websites with text almost identical to this article, but I can't tell whether the WP article is WP:COPYVIO or a case of citogenesis: (1), (2), (3).
- The article needs to be revised to resolve the possible copyvio problem.
- Second, there are sources that could be used in an overhaul effort for this article:
- Third, there are multiple listings by college, annually, naming scholarship awardees at the various institutions, with descriptions of the award, which colud provide in depth, reliable sources to revise the article.
- Last, perhaps the best solution to the problem of potential copyvio might be to draftify this article, and rebuild it from secondary, reliable sources. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 17:53, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- A copyvio is unlikely. Looking through the article's history, the current version developed slowly over time. Here is the copyvio comparison for your link no. 1. It's blatantly obvious (and also kinda funny) that they just copied text from Wikipedia and made some minor changes to disguise it ("29" -> "various", "selected" -> "chosen", "on the basis of" -> "based on"). The comparison tool doesn't work for the other two links, but they're dated so we can look at the latest revision before they were published. For both no. 2 and no. 3, the text was already there. So the copyright concerns are baseless and the article should definitely not be draftified. --Un assiolo (talk) 19:19, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

- Merge to Thomas Siebel or Improve. There are pages about the scholars at the websites of colleges and universities, and contrary to comments above I do consider these as RS. There is a burden on universities to be honest, so if something is published then they consider it at least slightly notable. That so many have relevant press releases says a lot. I will oppose a redirect as the section Thomas Siebel#Philanthropy does not cover this largish program. Improve is my preference, I think the editor missed what is needed for notability, and maybe nobody helped. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:49, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- The press releases and official publications of universities of scholarship awardees cannot be considered "independent". Dclemens1971 (talk) 19:14, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

- Yes, it is reliable. But it is not independent. The question is not whether what they write is true, it is why they publish it. However a books search shows mention of Siebel Scholars in multiple books. Some are primary sources, yet the mention of Siebel Scholars in, e.g., [6]: 132 amounts to secondary information in a primary source. Some are just passing [7] and some are not independent [8] but I think it would be worth looking at those a little more closely. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 21:07, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

There's some standing consensus that these lists are not encyclopedic because they lack a SELCRIT and so therefore must always be definitionally WP:SYNTH.
The previous discussion at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_United_States_presidential_firsts is well worth a read as it was a massive back and forth that ended in no consensus. Since then, other articles have narrowly ended in deletion:
Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Indian_prime_ministerial_firsts Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Mexican_presidential_firsts Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Philippine_presidential_firsts

Very sparse article with a strange criteria (why only recent presidents?) and quite frankly, is only substantive for Trump (where it's a list of people who worked under him who now consider him to be incompetent). No substantive content besides the list of scandalous Trump politicians, which are covered elsewhere. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 02:35, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep, but expand substantially further back in time, and provide some refined guidelines for what constitutes a "controversy". An "impeachments" section that does not mention the impeachment of Bill Clinton is lacking, to begin with. While there are periods that historians would deem the cutoff for "modern" presidencies, I would think that this would go at least as far back as Nixon, and possibly as far back as Kennedy.

- Here are some of the differences between the two. The List of federal political scandals in the United States is difficult to read, includes legislators who are not associated with presidents, and is impossible to compare across presidencies. That article also does not categorize scandals by type and excludes Criticism from former allies, excludes turnover comparison, and excludes family members category. Superb Owl (talk) 18:27, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- I do not suggest there are no differences - but the way List of controversies of recent U.S. Presidents is presented (to me), is very confusing and there is no information about the "controversy" and does not address the very real content concerns raised by BD2412, Goldsztajn, and Dympies. Looking at the list in the article, I do not know what "Major criticism of the President" means - does that mean the individual listed expressed concerns about the president? Also, I should be able to know at a glance why Eric Lander was part of a Biden administration scandal. I was about to say this should be TNT'd, but then I found a much more comprehensive article already written. - Enos733 (talk) 18:37, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comprehensive in some areas but not in others. There is a real lack of discussion of presidential scandals in Wikipedia. I think given the growing power of the presidency, that we need a more coherent article to summarize the performance of presidents along these lines that is not bogged down with a massive list of congressman and judges and others that are not part of the executive branch Superb Owl (talk) 18:47, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- I would agree that there is a need for an article substantively focused on the performance of presidential administrations in this area (not just general occurrences in other branches coinciding with the timing of a presidential administration), and that what constitutes a "scandal" or "controversy" should be well-defined for inclusion. The latter is something missing from this article, but readily fixable within its scope. BD2412 T 20:42, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Superb Owl - the only consideration is reliable sourcing - our own perceptions of the changing status of the US Presidency can't inform this discussion. @Enos733 - thanks for the ping and drawing my attention to the other article. I'm looking at this purerly from a sourcing (ie notability) perspective. For this list, I find sourcing that satisfies this specific class, but which does not statisfy a general list of federal political scandals. Looking at the federal list, notwithstanding WP:NEXIST, I do not see sourcing present in that article which satisfies that specific class. Given the prominance in the sourcing assocated with Presidents, this list, at least on first glance, has a stronger founding in sourcing and thus a stronger claim for notability.

I also found this unreliable law profile source, with her real name:
- "Miranda Ball". Meldrum's List. Retrieved 1 September 2024. The law profile notes: "Miranda's experience is extensive having run high profile White Collar Crime Litigations as both a Partner then Barrister. Her recent work includes the Bernie Madoff litigations in Bermuda & the UK, Operation Wickenby, Australian Crime Commission investigations and examinations, Special Leave Applications to the High Court of Australia, Legal Professional Privilege Claims, Constitutional Challenges, Children's Court hearings, Australian Taxation Office litigations/investigations and Coronial Inquests."
There is sufficient coverage in multiple independent reliable sources, plus the sources identified by @Ednabrenze to allow the subject to pass the general notability guideline, requiring "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." --Yours sincerely, Bas (or TechGeek105) (talk to me) 06:36, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
