Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/England

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

Fails WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR. No significant and reliable coverage of this author or the book mentioned in the article. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 02:18, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Fancy Refrigerator:
Keep – I believe the article on Sabrina Lund should be kept. It meets the criteria under WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG — she's a published novelist with real-world literary engagement and multiple independent sources discussing her work in depth.
There are three detailed reviews from reliable, editorially independent sources:
  • BookLife (via Publishers Weekly) called her novel "a thunderous crescendo and shocking ending," and praised the pacing and anticipation for future works.
  • Review Tales discussed deeper themes like power, corruption, and emotional realism: "The novel masterfully explores the complexity of power—how it can corrupt, liberate, or destroy."
  • Readers’ Favorite gave a strong endorsement too: "A must-read that oozes with romantic appeal... will, beyond all doubt, entice fans of historical and political thrillers."
On top of that, she’s been invited to speak at Portsmouth BookFest in 2026 and has a signing scheduled at Cobbett Road Library, part of Southampton Libraries, in summer 2025. Those are both independent, public literary events.
The article has been improved recently with clearer structure, citations, and a cleaned-up tone. It’s factual, neutral, and verifiable — and I think it clearly passes notability for a contemporary author.
Happy to help improve it further if needed, but I don't think deletion is the right call here.
Michael Psaila (talk) 04:20, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Reviews are not considered reliable because they cannot be easily verified. And they definitely cannot count toward notability. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 04:27, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Fancy Refrigerator:
Thanks for your feedback. I wanted to clarify an error and reinforce the basis for notability.
The citation for the BookLife review was mistakenly pointing to a Goodreads mirror. This has now been corrected — it links directly to the full editorial review hosted on BookLife.com, which is an editorial arm of Publishers Weekly. These reviews are professionally written and subject to editorial oversight. By Wikipedia standards, this qualifies as a reliable, independent source offering non-trivial coverage.
Per WP:AUTHOR, a writer is presumed notable if they receive multiple, independent reviews that go beyond trivial mention — especially from reliable sources. Between:
- The BookLife (Publishers Weekly) review
- The in-depth critique from Review Tales
- The full-length independent analysis from Readers’ Favorite
...there is substantial, critical third-party coverage of Sabrina Lund’s work.
In addition, she was featured on two independent UK radio stations — Awaaz FM and Fiesta FM — in publicly available interviews that discussed both her book and broader authorial perspective. These interviews offer additional evidence of notability and coverage by independent media.
Happy to keep improving the article if needed. But in its current form, I believe it clearly meets the criteria under WP:AUTHOR and WP:GNG.
Michael Psaila (talk) 09:21, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that the reviews are professionally written does not matter if the reviews are not neutral. Sources have to conform to the neutral point of view policy. The source you pointed out, BookLife.com [1], describes Sabrina Lund's book as follows: This is a rich depiction of the lives of 18th century England’s high society, as well as a thoughtful study on the hunger for power that drives many to destruction... This is not neutral writing. jeyranmain.com and readersfavorite.com suffer the same problem too. jeyranmain.com [2] describes the book as follows: Consequence of Power: Isabella’s Season by Sabrina Lund is a captivating historical fiction novel that immerses readers in the opulence and intrigue of 18th-century London... And readersfavorite.com [3] writes: This intriguing historical novel intertwines a beautiful tapestry of social interpretation, suspense, and romance. Sabrina Lund masterfully explores the intricacies of...
These claims of rich, captivating, intriguing writing are, one, not neutral, and, two, not verifiable. All together, these make the reviews unreliable sources to based Sabrina Lund's notability on. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 10:22, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why does a review have to be neutral if it's in a RS? Oaktree b (talk) 14:26, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, based on dodgy sourcing, it is nothing but promotion for a non-notable author by a SPA with an undeclared COI. Googling "Sabrina Lund Michael Psaila" gives joint hits. Editor should be warned on top of the delete. Ostalgia (talk) 12:17, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Maybe one good review per the discussion above, but I don't see any others. Gscholar and Gnews are bring up nothing. Gsearch only brings up the various places to buy the books. I don't see author notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:28, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have carried out WP:BEFORE on this BLP about an actor, and moved two external links to references in the article. These are only mentions of his name in credits, however, and I have not found significant coverage to add. He does not meet WP:NACTOR or WP:NARTIST. He has been a producer on films which have won awards, and has won a stage award, the ADA Award, but these don't appear to be notable awards, and I can't find significant coverage of him in the context of them. The refs before I added two were to IMDb, Wikipedia, and two film festivals, which does not meet WP:THREE. Article has been tagged with notability concerns since 2017. I don't think he meets WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. Tacyarg (talk) 22:48, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'm not finding anything - most of his roles are smaller and less likely to gain mention in sourcing. I was trying to find coverage for his theatrical performances, but I'm not finding much there either. With the awards, it looks like those were "best film" type awards for movies he produced. However the issue with awards as producer is that it's harder to establish their role in the production. Some producers are extremely involved and important to the final product, whereas others aren't really "hands on" with the production outside of funding and initial work. Of course then we have to look at whether or not the awards are notable enough to meet NCREATIVE/NACTOR either partially (count towards but not enough on its own to keep) or fully (enough on its own). I've always thought a good rule of thumb is to see if the awards website lists the producer. If so, then it could be usable (assuming the award is notable), if not it likely isn't.
In any case, with the awards, two of them are known vanity awards (Accolade Competition, Impact Docs Award). Nashville Film Festival and the Beverly Hill Film Festival look like wins from them would probably be usable. Tacoma Film Festival is smaller, but probably OK. The other wins are questionable as far as notability goes and the others are nominations so it's irrelevant whether they are notable or not - none of them are at the level where a nomination would be considered noteworthy. That's limited to things like the Oscars.
I guess the question here is whether or not his producing role was large enough for him to inherit notability from the movies in a similar way that one would as an actor or director. Executive producer credits would probably count, but the generic producer credit is where there's pause. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 12:46, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I found a couple of theater reviews. Only three though, which is technically enough I guess to pass NACTOR. I think between that and the kind of nebulous producer notability, that might be enough to keep. I'm not 100% so I am not making an argument for or against at the moment.

This article reads somewhat like a resume mixed with a blog, possibly because the subject, per the article, "keeps a low public profile". The references, though 30, are not predominantly about the subject; many are ammouncements about his company, and several others are general articles that mention him in passing. The few sources that are actually about him profile him for having a lot of money, either locally or in Forbes, and are not generally in depth. He does not appear to be personally notable. This is also a problematic WP:BLP, devoting a lot of space to his personal health. FalconK (talk) 23:25, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Previously deleted in 2017. This current disclosed paid draft was tagged as G4 and I speedy deleted after looking at sources applied. The page creator has appealed and I have restored the page while we discuss this subject on the merits. By my view, there's nothing applied or found which puts this past WP:NCORP. I'm sure there are thousands of UK care clinics which would pay somebody to write an article about them; the physician in this case still has a likely undisclosed paid article about them which I am not disputing in this process. I'm just not seeing anything which puts this business past WP:Notability more than any other like business. BusterD (talk) 13:47, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment in response to Robert McClenon, onel5969, SportingFlyer: I've made a further search that shook loose more news coverage. I think the best sources now in the article are:
    • James Meikle (29 April 2005). "Donor stem cells restore sight". The Guardian. Retrieved 14 June 2025.
    • "Success for 'first' eye patient". BBC News. 9 August 2007.
    • Sarah Hall (15 March 2007). "Stem cell therapy improves sight of patients born with no irises". The Guardian. Retrieved 14 June 2025.
In addition, the Daily Mail has devoted at least 2 articles entirely to Daya. I left the URLs of the following sources commented out in the article (note these are for separate news and 3 years apart):
I also think the Lifetime Achievement Award contributes to his notability: source that I substituted for a barelink PDF: "AAO 2022 Recap". Millennial EYE. Bryn Mawr Communications. September–October 2022. Retrieved 13 June 2025.
For further interest, my search today focussed on The Guardian (we were already citing The Telegraph, which is less respected as an RS on the project, and the article is more personal in approach) shook loose Serazdaya.com, which is an attack website, it seems prompted by Daya's criticism of rival lens transplant operations; both The Guardian and the Daily Mail have cited him as an expert in investigating one or more of those, so those articles also come up on search although they're not appropriate to cite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yngvadottir (talkcontribs) 18:02, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Guardian contains an interview, it's not clear it's a true secondary source. The BBC article is very short and he is only mentioned twice including one quote. The second Guardian article is five paragraphs which contains a quote from him. The Daily Mail articles are obviously unreliable even though they go into more of a profile of him, and the lifetime achievement award - it's very unclear from that link who even issues the award, so it can't contribute to notability. There's really not much here. SportingFlyer T·C 20:41, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That the subject is a published journalist and author of a book is easily demonstrated, but the question is, is she notable? Doing a WP:BEFORE, I'm not really seeing anything to indicate notability. Her book (which handily had an amazon link included) ranks outside the top 3,000 'home and garden' books. There is passing mention in articles covering her husband (who appears to have a possible COI on the article). Apart from that, it's largely articles she has written.

Subject was previously weakly deleted in 2010 at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Lewis (philosopher) (3rd nomination). Since then they have apparently published a book with some reviews, but on the face of it the article still seems to fall short of notability for an academic.

Weak keep - his philosophical monograph has a couple hundred citations in google scholar, and also three book reviews, which are both *technically* qualifying for the bare minimum of WP:NPROF and WP:NAUTHOR. I wouldn't personally nominate something like this for AfD, but I also don't think the project would be any worse off if we didn't have this page or the probably 3000 other alive-during-wikipedia philosophy professors of roughly equal notability.

Comment It might be worth noting that the article title probably should be Stacey Gregg (the page with that name has been deleted a few times previously). Don't think she was ever known as Stacy (without the e). She was also known for roles in the US as Stacey Maxwell, eg in The Virginian, The Monkees and Batman. In the UK she's known for roles in Crossroads https://www.newspapers.com/image/893742133 and playing Sandy in Grease alongside Richard Gere eg https://www.newspapers.com/image/840906998 There's a few more hits at https://www.newspapers.com/search/results/?keyword=%22Stacey+Gregg%22++&region=gb-eng worth checking the British Newspaper Archive as well, see also this two-page articles from the TV Times in 1971 (page 8-9) https://mcmweb.co.uk/tvtimes/1971/Nov%206th%201971.pdf Piecesofuk (talk) 08:54, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As Stacey Gregg she meets WP:NACTOR. She has also been credited as Stacey Jefferson and Stacey Richardson. As well as voicing the roles mentioned in the current article, she played Daffy in all episodes of Tottering Towers and Nurse Baxter in 23 episodes of Crossroads from 1977-1978. On stage, she played Sandy opposite Richard Gere in the British premiere of Grease (musical), first in Coventry and then on the West End. As well as the coverage found by Piecesofuk, there is coverage and information about more roles in the British Newspaper Archive. I'll add more info and sources to the article. There appears to be another Stacey Gregg, probably also notable, who is director of Here Before and co-creator/director of other shows. RebeccaGreen (talk) 18:33, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Perhaps it was a bit early, but it feels a bit of a waste of energy and work to delete it. Perhaps Redirect Kepleo123 (talk) 08:37, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Election is happening within the next year; article is well-written with information currently available. It wouldn't benefit Wikipedia in any way to remove the existing content only to reinstate it in a few months' time. Chessrat (talk, contributions) 17:37, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Chessrat: No reliable, independent sources have been cited. The election may take place next year but it is still WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL if no secondary sources are available. QEnigma (talk) 19:09, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The article has five citations.
This sort of thing happens all the time for upcoming elections– someone writes an article on the election in question, someone else tries to get the article deleted, the attempt fails. It ~ould be a far more productive use of time to develop this article and similar articles. Chessrat (talk, contributions) Chessrat (talk, contributions) 19:19, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No significant in-depth coverage outside of local media. Aŭstriano (talk) 00:02, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with Portsmouth. Other articles about shopping malls give details such as what movies they've appeared in, what historical registries they're on... According to this article, the Cascades Shopping Centre is just a shopping center. Merge with no prejudice against re-creation if sourcing establishing independent notability can be found. Darkfrog24 (talk) 02:59, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Not a great article, in need of editing, sourcing and removal of non-encyclopaedic comments, but the subject seems clearly notable enough for inclusion. I also note that the proposer states No significant in-depth coverage outside of local media, which suggests that there is significant in-depth coverage in local media. Unless there is something in our notability guidelines that excludes local media, and I certainly cannot find anything, then this statements seems to contradict the proposal. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 12:08, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment I certainly don't claim to be an expert and am not sure if it applies here, but WP:AUD does exclude local media. Aŭstriano (talk) 14:04, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I'm browsing the British Newspaper Archive on my phone at the moment, which makes it difficult to assess things properly, but I'm seeing quite a lot of substantial coverage of the early stages of planning and building the shopping centre (up to 1987) in the Portsmouth Evening News, which is more "regional" than "local" in nature. I will investigate fully when I get home tonight. The Cascades is a prominent shopping centre, comparable to those listed in the navbox at the bottom of the article; I feel continued coverage "should" be findable – quite probably in Portsmouth Reference Library, which I have used before. I will follow up on this later. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 14:10, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
New Town (Colchester ward) (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 do not believe that it has ever been the intention of Wikipedia to raise to article levels minor electoral areas in local government as such. Obviously a ward may encompass an area such as a village that is relevant in and of itself, but in this case, it is simply a collation of electoral results, which is by no means significant coverage.

  • Keep with clear precedent. There are thousands of electoral constituency articles on Wikipedia of all types and AFDs have routinely return Keep results. This article is well written and sourced. MRSC (talk) 03:16, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    For national election constituencies, that is true. But this is only for electing local government. Such wards do not see news articles speculating about who might win, or possible candidates. Those elected are unlikely to ever generate GNG coverage such as would lead to them getting an article. It is a very different scale than a constituency for national government.
    If this is to be retained, does that mean that we ought to have a goal of creating articles for all 8,694 such wards in th UK? Not to mention equivalents worldwide. Kevin McE (talk) 06:54, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or merge to City of Colchester. Local city ward lacks notability and fails GNG. There is no precedent or basis for any suggestion that constituencies are automatically notable, particularly at the local level with only a few thousand voters. Most of the other thousands of articles are at the national or regional level and are substantially larger entities (and many of them should also be deleted or merged). The suggestion that the article is well-sourced is simply laughable, the only sources are simple election results data for the council, nothing remotely resembling significant coverage. We are not a database for every minor election result without context. Reywas92Talk 03:40, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to City of Colchester; it's just a local ward. No inherent notability and no SIGCOV. The electoral records can be linked form the main page. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 13:07, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    What would be merged? Are you proposing that the article for the city should have every result of every ward election since the area became a local authority? Or that this one ward somehow gets exceptional treatment? Kevin McE (talk) 18:48, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Merge the prose (about five lines), and link the tables of results. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 01:52, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for replying, but why would the City of Colchester article be improved by having some trivial data about a former ward, while a couple of dozen other former and current wards do not have the same details given? Or why the results of this one (former) ward should be preserved and reported while those of the others are not? Kevin McE (talk) 06:59, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I won't be crying into my beer if this article is deleted, but WP:ATD states that "If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page" and WP:ATD-M that "articles that are short and unlikely to be expanded could be merged into larger articles". So my reply is based on the deletion policy.
    Speaking of which: per below, instructions for multiple-article AfDs are at WP:BUNDLE. Hope this helps. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 15:13, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    By no means intended as an attack on you, but I think it is a huge flaw of the deletion system that an instruction gets sent to a talk page telling editors there that material from another article is to be incorporated into it, with no consideration of whether it is appropriate or proportionate, often when there has been no awareness on the part of the editors committed to the target page that such a thing is under discussion. It comes across (again, by no means intending this as personal to you) as an extraordinary systemic arrogance that one part of Wikipedia tells another what it must do with no consultation at all.
    But that is a bigger issue than the article at hand.
    Thanks to the signposting to WP:Bundle, but that doesn't seem to deal with later additions to an AfD, so I'll see what happens here, then propose it if there is (what seems to me) a suitable outcome here. Kevin McE (talk) 19:21, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]


I'm not sure what the method is for turning a simple AfD into a multiple article AfD, but anything that can be said about this article seems likely equally true of Castle (Colchester ward). And if both of those are deleted, I would suggest that Template:Electoral wards in the City of Colchester, being then is void, should equally be removed.
