Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Lists of people
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Lists of people. 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|Lists of people|~~~~}} 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 Lists of people. 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.

Doesn't meet WP:NLIST, as it's just a list of non-notable people. Unnecessary WP:CFORK from main Samsunspor article, where all of the history section in this article could be merged instead (or a general article about the sports club rather than the football club created).

- Not opposed to merging this with the List of Sharks (rugby union) players, subject to resolution of the distinction of Currie Cup vs URC players, as if those players - who meet notability requirements - are excluded then List of Sharks (rugby union) players is incomplete. Whybeetoo (talk) 11:04, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
- This would be dependent on the outcome of the discussion on the WikiProject. I'd be opposed to full squad boxes but if we can find information on Currie Cup players (which I found incredibly difficult in creating this list) then can be added in another section if consensus reached.

- Comment: I'm not sure how much of a precedent those are. The country articles are *much* bigger topic domains than this one. Jahaza (talk) 20:49, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- If it's a matter of magnitude, there are about 12600 people under Category:Philosophers; and in my own review of philosophy pages, I generally encounter far more articles that lack any appropriate philosopher category than the other way around, so even allowing for a few miscategorizations that's probably a lower bound. Comparatively, WikiProject Myanmar seems to have about 10000 mainspace articles. Psychastes (talk) 21:59, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
- Redirect all to Lists of philosophers. Lists that big are basically worthless and they also duplicate categories. They are not actually useful for informational or navigational purposes when they combine thousands of people with various characteristics and levels of notability. The lists that break the topic down by field, nationality, or time period are more accessible and there's no good reason to keep an unmaintained master list. But geez, a lot of those are crappy bullet-point-only lists too... Reywas92Talk 22:17, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
Note: These were originally separate but later bundled. The other AFD pages are now just redirects to this one; I'm not sure if that would cause any problems or not. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 11:16, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

- The article also appears to contain factual errors—at random, the inclusion of Shane Dawson is false, as the source says his channel was demonetized, not suspended. Such falsehoods could constitute BLP violations. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 07:05, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
- It is okay to delete this list. If there is a lack of reliable, secondary sources about how many channels have been suspended from YouTube, then it might be strange to have an article listing YouTube suspensions. Plus, this article has been so big that, unless if one watches it, it has been hard to detect the multiple issues against Wikipedia's policy on the biographies of living persons that the article attracts. The suspensions from YouTube may already be mentioned on articles about channels or people with YouTube channels.

- Keep but improve. The topic is notable as several reliable sources (e.g. Forbes, this and this article) do discuss why there are few people from Islamic countries who won the Nobel Prize, as opposed to Jews for example, and bring up a list of Nobel Prize Laureates from Islamic countries. Improvements to the article should include checking if the person is a self-declared Muslim or at least reasonably assumed to follow the Islamic faith (based on reliable sources), or not.--Ideophagous (talk) 10:14, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. Regarding the sources presented by Ideophagous:
- The Forbes article is by a contributor; articles by Forbes contributors are generally unreliable per WP:FORBESCON.
- The SephardicU article is clearly LLM-generated.
- The İLKE article has dubious editorial controls (it looks like a blog post) and its accuracy is also questionable. I cannot find any reliable sources stating that Moungi Bawendi is Muslim, or any interviews in which he identifies as such - only a few sources assuming that he must be Muslim because he is of Tunisian background. It is also about the narrower topic of Nobel-winning Muslim scientists, not all Muslim Nobel laureates.
- Astaire (talk) 21:05, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
- Also, the İLKE article says that Bawendi was born to Lebanese parents, which is simply wrong - his father was Tunisian and his mother was French. This source should not be treated as reliable. Astaire (talk) 21:08, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Astaire I won't argue the sources themselves, since I looked them up on the fly (I didn't know about the Forbes contributor thing). My point is that the subject of "Muslim Nobel Prize winners" does get brought up in multiple sources and outlets overall (e.g. check here the paragraph that starts with "7. Search for excellence"; and also here), and it wouldn't be hard to find reliable sources that bring up the subject, especially since this is a list of notable persons, and not a specific topic about a specific object/person/organization, etc. Furthermore, it would make no sense to delete this article and keep the ones about Jewish and Christian Nobel Prizes. Either they should all be kept or all deleted. In the worst case (if it's not possible to show with RSes that any of the names mentioned are confessionally Muslim), the article can be changed to "List of Nobel laureates of Muslim heritage" or "List of Nobel laureates from MENA" or such. Other Wikipedia editions have a "List of Arab Nobel Prize Laureates" which can be equally controversial, unless "Arab" is defined in purely political terms (having the citizenship of one of the members of the Arab League). Ideophagous (talk) 21:37, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
- The relevant guideline here is WP:NLIST, which says that the topic of a list must have been
discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources
. The three sources above don't seem reliable to me, and the two new sources in your comment devote only a sentence each to the concept of "Muslim Nobel Prize winners", which doesn't seem like significant coverage to me (WP:SIGCOV). I am open to changing my mind if better sources can be found. - I haven't looked at the notability of the "Christian/Jewish/etc. Nobel Prize winners" lists, but if people have discussed the concept in reliable sources, then it is a worthy topic for an article. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Astaire (talk) 17:01, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

Almost all of the players in this list are not notable. Louis (talk) (contribs) 15:01, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Lists of people, Rugby union, and South Africa. Shellwood (talk) 15:07, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
- This is false. They are notable in so far as they record who played for a major club side, some of which end up playing for other teams. If that information is not recorded then it is lost, making it impossible to track player development and also maintain the history of a significant rugby club. For me this is like removing films from a director's filmography because they are not critically acclaimed. Whybeetoo (talk) 18:30, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
- Per WP:RU/N they are not notable. "Youth players are not notable unless they satisfy one of the statements above, or if they can be shown to meet the wider requirements of WP:GNG." See Wikipedia:WikiProject Rugby union/Notability#Biographies. Louis (talk) (contribs) 20:10, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
- But these are not Biographies? And so that section doesnt apply. This is a page that allows the tracking of player development over an extended period, allowing a reader to understand the health of a junior system. Its not a list of biographies. Secondly these are not youth players, these are professionally contracted rugby players, all above the age of 18. Whybeetoo (talk) 21:00, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
- Per WP:RU/N they are not notable. "Youth players are not notable unless they satisfy one of the statements above, or if they can be shown to meet the wider requirements of WP:GNG." See Wikipedia:WikiProject Rugby union/Notability#Biographies. Louis (talk) (contribs) 20:10, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
- Also, WP:SIGCOV. A google search of "Sharks Junior Squad" reveals minimal results with all those relating to this topic being from primary sources. A new catogary would be better suited for this ie: Category:Sharks (rugby union) junior players (or similar) for any players that pass GNG of WP:RU/N Louis (talk) (contribs) 22:07, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
- If you google the component teams of the Junior Squad you get substantial mentions from multiple sources. This includes multiple independently sourced press coverage. Sharks u21, u20, u19 etc. The Junior Squad is just a catch all term for players contracted but eligible for these teams. The mentions are not trivial or in passing, they are articles specifically written about these teams and often these players. Whybeetoo (talk) 22:43, 9 June 2025 (UTC)
- Delete This is mostly fancruft which fails WP:GNG and WP:NLIST. The sourcing present is just team announcements for junior rugby competitions. Perhaps a small separate section on Sharks (Currie Cup) could be added to mention the U21 side and players representing their county at U20 level but this is complete overkill. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 13:07, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- Please detail how it fails WP:GNG and WP:NLIST so your claim can be evaluated. Not all Wikipedia content requires individual notability if the topic itself has informative or encyclopedic value. Squad tracking serves a research and documentation role akin to sports archives or player pathway databases. Whybeetoo (talk) 09:07, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
- Fails WP:GNG as there is no sustained coverage of the sides and the players that partake. Fails WP:NLIST as it's not discussed in reliable sourcing similar to GNG. If Wikipedia was a sports oracle of SA Rugby oracle then could perhaps be included, but this is just fancruft for me with no encyclopedic value. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 09:51, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

Arbitrary criterion (" war correspondents who reported from North Africa or Italy in 1942-43") fails WP:NLIST. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:27, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
- oppose deletion, does not fail WP:NLIST because of established notability Vofa (talk) 12:07, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Lists of people, Journalism, History, and Military. Shellwood (talk) 12:29, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to List of war correspondents#21st century. It's rather weird for this to apparently be limited to those in North Africa or Italy since the title does not reflect that. Anyway, I see no reason to have a list that only has thoses place or these two years, but if there are any blue links not already in the main list, they may be added there. It's broadly a good list topic but needs some organization. Reywas92Talk 23:58, 31 May 2025 (UTC)
- No objection to merger, but 21st century? Clarityfiend (talk) 12:41, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

- Comment I feel bad about this because it's extra work, but the correct thing to do is to move this list to List of war correspondents in World War II analogous to List of war correspondents in World War I, and expand the list's range to include all world war II war correspondents wherever and whenever they served. Merging to the list for the whole of the 20th C is a poor second-best, because unfortunately there were too many wars in the century, and thus too many reporters. The 2nd world war, like the first, had such vast global impact that it makes sense to list its correspondents separately. Elemimele (talk) 09:53, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
