WP:DELSORT/Skating

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

Fails WP:NSKATE. Lots of search results for "Jessica Houston", but none appear to be this person. Bgsu98 (Talk) 13:46, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Women, Skating, and United States of America. Bgsu98 (Talk) 13:46, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No sourcing found for this figure skater; the other AfD appears to be about a singer, which could be this person I suppose... Either way, there isn't enough to show notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:11, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That singer was apparently a contestant on Germany's version of Idol, which I guess could be the same person, since Jessica Houston is not a native German name... Bgsu98 (Talk) 15:43, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Massachusetts-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 19:25, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
