This is a high level category for deletion sorting. Whenever possible, it is recommended for deletion discussions to be added to more specific categories, such as a state and/or relevant subject area. Please review the list of available deletion categories, and see this page's guidelines below for more information.

Page guidelines

This United States of America deletion sorting page may be used for the following types of articles:

  • Topics and subjects that are U.S.-based, whereby the article does not provide a specific state of origin or where activity occurs.
  • Media such as films, television shows and books that have national distribution in the United States.
  • Products that have national distribution and a significant presence in the United States.
  • Multinational companies that have a significant presence in the United States, whereby the article does not provide specific state(s) of location.

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:
  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|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.

The relevant tickets are covered at List of United States major third party and independent presidential tickets. Additionally, the article covers three separate parties and their conflation as the "Progressive Party" risks confusing readers.

No evidence of any notability. Not a single independent source and searches only reveal the usual crop of social media, YouTube etc but does include mentions by Cycling web-sites, Garmin etc but these all seem to be promotional/ sponsorship connections.

  • Keep The article as it stands now does present as not notable, but there do appear to be reliable sources which talk about her as a known athlete: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. There is enough in-depth coverage in reliable sources to show that this woman is notable. What has happened is that the sources used so far have simply been from her own website, which gives the wrong impression. SilkTork (talk) 10:32, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep it's a niche sport, and some of the news coverage brought by SilkTork is in niche/special interest publications, but it is SIGCOV and I can see mainstream coverage including [Endurance athlete's unique source of income, Ruibal, Sal. USA TODAY; McLean, Va. [McLean, Va]21 Sep 2010: C.3. "Rebecca Rusch is one of the world's best endurance athletes, a three-time World 24-hour solo mountain bike race champion and the recent winner of the infamously difficult Leadville Trail 100 race, a feat she accomplished in record-breaking time. ... Thanks to a compensation formula introduced by her HuckNRoll.com adventure sports team, Rusch can add her social-media skills as a source of income... Under the HuckNRoll.com plan, its top athletes get a salary that is augmented by payments for their skill at getting fans to read their media offerings and also make purchases from the HuckNRoll.com retail website. "My career is absolutely a business and I have a degree in marketing," says Rusch, who is also sponsored by Specialized Bicycles. "There is more to my job than just training and racing. I am constantly looking for opportunities for myself and my sponsors to increase exposure and value."") and additional INDEPTH I can see in new archive searches.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:56, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Well done to SilkTork for finding significant coverage. This article definitely needs gutted and rewritten, but at least there's something. I'll tag it for some repairs and copy SilkTork's sources to the talk page as can be used to improve the article, but it looks to be a subject worth covering.

United States v. Camacho (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There is no presumption of notability for US appeals court cases, nor is there an SNG for them to help guide our assessment. Therefore we must rely on GNG to determine whether this case is notable enough to require a standalone article.

I can't find any indication that this is an especially notable case. I've checked GScholar, GBooks, JSTOR, Newspapers.com, HeinOnline (via Google since it requires login to search), Questia, and basically found no substantial discussion of this case. The hits are muddied by two other cases, an 11th circuit case from 2001 also called United States v Camacho and a 6th circuit case from 2010 called United States v. Camacho-Arellano. Even adding +2004 to the search didn't turn up anything more substantial.

Given the lack of later references to the case and/or critical commentary about it, I don't think this meets our standard for encyclopedic notability. ♠PMC(talk) 18:25, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Coffeeluvr613, I've noticed you making a significant number of comments on AfD discussions within the last hour, and it seems like you may be going a bit fast and not properly reading the nominations. As I specifically called out in my nomination, appeals court cases are not inherently considered notable, so the simple fact of being an appeals case is not in itself a reason to keep. The name of the article has nothing to do about whether or not it ought to be kept as a topic. Can I gently suggest slowing down and familiarizing yourself with our policies and practices, perhaps making some edits to articles, before continuing to speed-vote on other nominations? ♠PMC(talk) 00:13, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Premeditated Chaos This is a 250 word stub that checks out on open jurist and is written in neutral tone. There's no advertising, no promotion, no links to someone's website. Obviously it's of importance to someone. If it went on and on then I'd say that you're making an issue more notable than it is. But it's only 250 works, which is smaller than this discussion, it is 100% factual, and written in a neutral tone. So what is the point of removing it? It makes our encyclopedia better. And yes I move fast, if you drink some coffee you might move faster too. Coffeeluvr613 (talk) 00:25, 6 July 2019 (UTC) Blocked sockpuppet. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:40, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The point is that we are not an indiscriminate collection of all possible information. We rely on independent secondary sources for information, and if there are none (and I'm reasonably confident that there aren't), then the subject isn't notable and we have no business maintaining an article about it. ♠PMC(talk) 00:40, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I find three scholarly mentions of the case, one in Thomas K. Clancy, "2008 Fourth Amendment Symposium-The Fourth Amendment at the International Border", 78 Mississipi Law Journal (2008-2009), another in Yule Kim, Protecting the U.S. Perimeter: Border Searches Under the Fourth Amendment (2010), p. 16, and another in "Investigations and Police Practices: Warrantless Searches and Seizures", 40 Annual Review of Criminal Procedure 44 (2011). All of these mentions are fairly brief. The case has also been cited as a precedent in a dozen other court opinions. bd2412 T 03:02, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment that the redirect recommendation by PMCspades above might be smart, but I will try and add some references to the page before we determine one way or the other. Looks notable enough for a mention elsewhere, even if on the brink for its own location. OhioShmyo (talk) 22:25, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I added the references to the page, giving it at least enough oompf for placement on a related topic with a useful redirect, which I endorse maintaining. My failure to secure more coverage makes me unsure it passes WP:GNG, if the mentions are relatively short like mentioned above. OhioShmyo (talk) 01:20, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

American Innovation $1 Coin Program Design - Obverse (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · [11])
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I don't believe that the rejected obverse designs of the American Innovation $1 Coin Program are notable enough for their own article. ZLEA T\C 11:57, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would be fine with combining the pages so we have a record of the options the government considered, and what changes were made from the final design to the finished product. That being said, I don't think the sub-page meets any of the criteria for deletion.Iceman0426 (talk) 15:25, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I too am fine with merging, but a table of the proposed designs might be a little too much. I think we should mention that twelve design proposals were made, and compare the chosen design drawing to the eventual coin design. Having a table of proposed designs might lead to people questioning why there isn't a similar table for each reverse design. - ZLEA T\C 18:12, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The committee's mandate is to do this process for all of the coins. So we will be able to do the same thing for all 57 coins in the program. I think adding the winning design to the main page is a good idea. I realize that the design pages will be smaller than the main pages, but I don't see a problem with having them.

  • Delete I would encourage a link the in the main article to the Mint's website with rejected designs, but we should not have a separate article just to memorialize failed alternatives in a gallery - these are simply not notable and do not receive substantive tertiary coverage. This doesn't even belong in the main article but should be limited to a brief mention per ZLEA. Do NOT do this for every coin reverse design – not even the individual coins in the series are notable, much less what didn't actually get minted. Reywas92Talk 07:43, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I disagree that the designs are not notable. In addition to being on the usmint.gov and the ccac.gov, here are some places where the designs also receive attention: mintnewsblog.com, new.coinupdate.com, thepatrioticmint.com, numismaticnews.net, coinworld.com, usstatequarters.com. This demonstrates that there is interest in the designs and the process. I mentioned to ZLEA a few different options to make everybody happy. I redid the table and put a sample at the bottom of the obverse page as an example that could be used for any of the ideas so that it would take up much less room. First, with the smaller format we could put it on the main page. Second, the page could be renamed (something like "American Innovation $1 Coin Program Proposed Designs), and all designs put on a single page. Finally, they could be put on under the CCAC's page. Iceman0426 (talk) 01:54, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Just because the designs are on a government website and recieve attention from websites that track progress of CCAC design eliminations, that does not mean they are notable. If you think the rejected designs are notable enough to be included in a separate article or even in the main article despite the lack of secondary sources, then you should be able to tell us why they are significant. - ZLEA T\C 12:13, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I have add multiple articles covering this wide ranging work. To be clear, this is not a film. It is a stage production, that as such managed to permeate the culture of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. True, it is most often reacted to as either a very simplistic work, or a doctrinally wrong work. However it is present in doscourse, and its musical numbers are of great power. The film is not the thing, but the stage production.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:06, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This seems to be a bit of somebody's family history. There's really no indication here at all of notability by our standards. Most of the material is unsourced, and most of the rest of it is not supported by the sources cited – she is not mentioned in either this source or this one, for example. She appears to have been born, to have married, and to have died – but neither her date of birth nor her date of death is sourced; there's no source even for the name used as the page title.

Apparently short lived defunct website that lasted all of a couple of years. Given the user name of the original author, the article is basically a COI ad written by one of the company's founders. Not much left in the article after cutting out the worst of it, some click bait garbage really. The sources out there are mostly PR junk you would expect for any tech startup: a few fluff interviews, routine coverage about seed funding, and then darn the luck, turns out this wasn't the next big thing after all, and it seems to have quietly died without so much as a whimper.

This article is about an author and editor who apparently has an Emmy, but has very little to back up these claims. I cannot find any proof that he, the show or the network named has actually ever won an Emmy. His Job as an author seems to not meet the minimum of WP:GNG nor does his time as a editor of the magazine. I have found a few mentions of him as an opinion but nothing in depth on him.

Article about a band, which is not an improvement in either substance or sourcing over the version that got deleted in 2016. There still isn't any notability claim being made here that would pass WP:NMUSIC, and there still aren't nearly enough reliable sources being cited — six of the seven footnotes here are to primary sources, such as discogs.com and last.fm, that are not support for notability at all, and the only one that's sort of a semi-reliable source is just reporting the drummer's death, not substantive coverage about the band doing band things, so it is not enough to get them over WP:GNG all by itself as the only non-terrible source in play. As always, bands are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because discogs and last.fm technically verify that they existed — to get a Wikipedia article, a band has to show that it has received a GNG-satisfying volume of reliable source coverage in real media, in the context of having achieved something that passes WP:NMUSIC, but there's still nothing here which satisfies either part of that equation at all.

  • Keep. Given the sources we rely on it can be difficult to assess the impact of academics whose major work was published in the 1980s and 1990s. Shaffer contributed to the anthropology of the Indus Valley Civilization and is a critic of the Indo-Aryan migration theory. Shaffer's three most cited works are a 1992 article with 108 citations, a book chapter from 1984 with 104 citations, and a book chapter from 1982 with 71 citations, with the 1980s chapters' citations probably underestimated. Google scholar has yet to include the citations found in many book chapters from this era. In any case this is enough to show the impact of his work. The 1980s chapters are cited well into the 2000s.

  • Comment I have added sources and quotes from reviews to the article. If this is merged, then at least there will be more about her. I have also made a small edit to the article about Dave Mackay (musician), which said he co-wrote the song "See My Rainbow", when the catalog of copyright entries shows it was copyrighted to her alone, for both words and music (other songs were copyrighted to both). I wonder if their first album would meet WP:NALBUM #1? Then perhaps this article could be re-written to be mainly about that album, and her name could be redirected to it????

  • Keep. There's the practical issue of how Twitter or Wikipedia's Women in Red project would respond to an AfD redirecting a jazz singer's article to her husband's with the rationale "all her known works were with him", and I don't want to get into that. Regardless, if they are noteworthy as a duo and MacKay is notable on his own, then the only real solutions are that we either have a page called Dave MacKay and Vicky Hamilton for them as a duo and redirect this article there, or we have an article for her herself. Given the fleshing-out this article has just obtained, the latter seems just fine to me. Chubbles (talk) 02:10, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am the previous voter who is possibly being accused of something here. I actually think that a Move to Dave MacKay and Vicky Hamilton is a reasonable suggestion, because they released albums as a duo. But like it or not, even the recently-added sources continue to confirm that Hamilton has no solo works, and that is necessary for a solo article. Meanwhile I am stumped on how fears of Twitter flak matter for a discussion of someone's notability in Wikipedia. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:23, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Chubbles: there's really just a practical issue of working against systemic bias on Wikipedia. You shouldn't worry about what a certain WikiProject thinks: instead worry about fighting that bias and I think your suggestion about creating a duo page does just that. That's an excellent idea and I would support that. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:23, 19 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is not notable as a standalone award and I would propose redirecting it to Motion_Picture_Sound_Editors#Golden_Reel_Awards which is what the entry on the DAB redirects to as well as the awards are not actually independently notable, however the creator has contested this so i'm left with AFD.

  • Keep. For awards that are presented in multiple categories rather than just one, keeping all of the information about every category in a single merged article about the overall program would make that article far too long to be useful. So standard practice for multi-category film, television, music or literary awards programs has always been that as long as the overall program is notable, each category should have its own standalone article regardless of any quibbles about whether that individual category is "independently" notable separately from the overall program, simply because that's the user-friendliest way to package the overall program. Try, for example, to imagine if none of the Academy Award categories had their own standalone articles, but instead all of the winners and nominees in every category were simply crammed into one loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong omnibus article about the Academy Awards themselves: this would not be user-friendly or helpful to either readers or editors, so we split the information up for size management purposes, regardless of what anybody thinks about the standalone notability of any individual category. It's true that not every award category presented by the Motion Picture Sound Editors actually has its own standalone article yet, but that's precisely because getting them started is a new project being taken on by an editor within the past two weeks.

Article created by a now indefinitely-banned sock, and although the song is real, the article seems to be mostly fiction: the Billboard chart positions are made up, as is the article from Billboard's "Chart Beat" column (all the columns from the period are archived on the Wayback Machine, but this supposed one doesn't appear to exist). All the articles were allegedly accessed in 2015 for verification, yet this page was created less than two weeks ago. The song never appeared on an album (it's not on her recently released album), and with such a common title and a non-notable song, a redirect doesn't appear to be particularly useful.

The result was redirect to International Workers' Association#IWA today. This is a tough one. There's a rough consensus that it is TOOSOON for this to have an article. On the other hand, there are strong arguments to PRESERVE the info. I am therefore redirecting this to International Workers' Association#IWA today, as the ICL and its origins are mentioned there. That this is an article about a competing organization seems less relevant to me.

This has twice been turned into a redirect (by User:Czar and User:Elmidae), but then recreated by an anonymous user. It does not contain any independent, reliable sources. I've looked for such sources in attempt to improve the article, but came to the conclusion that there is just one: this article in a Spanish newspaper. That's clearly not enough to establish notability. I'm undecided on whether this should be deleted outright or turned into a redirect (either to International Workers' Association or to syndicalism, as both of those articles briefly describe the ICL). Carabinieri (talk) 14:43, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

oops
  • Redirect to Contemporary anarchism, where it is covered in greatest depth. For independent notability, I think what I wrote on the talk page three months ago still holds: Echoing what was written a decade ago, I check back on this article every few months and find no reliable, secondary source with which to write an encyclopedia article. If such sources exist, they're inaccessible to me. (The other language Wikipedias don't have comparable sources either.) Even the Time article, which is a bit of a joke, only refers to the specific "Third International Congress of Anarchist Federations", not a persistent "International". In any event, the article appears overblown without secondary sourcing to back it up. czar 04:44, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, yes indeed. Looks like that redirect (similar title) was undone at the same time this was nominated and I was pinged for both. Thanks czar 23:28, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect Merge to International Workers' Association#IWA today, its most prominent related mention. re: redirect target, as a split from the IWA, I think ICL has a closer relation with that topic than with "syndicalism" as a whole.
As my edit summary went in March, this topic continues to lack significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources. (?) Right now, secondary source coverage doesn't do more than confirm its existence. Ping me if you find additional offline and non-English sources? (not watching, please {{ping}}) czar 23:28, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Edit: Alarichall's added sources do not add enough information to justify a separate article, so their merger to the aforementioned target will suffice. czar 17:24, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • This has been existence for only a year so is probably WP:TOOSOON. However, the participation of the long established and highly notable IWW, as well as other notable organisations, should be covered somewhere on Wikipedia. I think the previous attempts at redirecting to the IWA article were not constructive since that article does not cover the membership of the ICL in any detail. There is an element of WP:PRESERVE that comes into this. SpinningSpark 11:48, 15 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh yes it is, that's exactly the issue. The information that the notable IWW and other notable organisations have joined a newly formed federation is certainly information the belongs on Wikpedia, regardless of whether the said federation is notable enough for its own article. That is precisely what PRESERVE is all about, and precisely what that redirect failed to do. SpinningSpark 18:05, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
...and that guideline explicitly discusses merges and redirects. SpinningSpark 18:08, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So what you're saying is that the articles on the member organizations should mention that they joined the ICL? If so, I certainly agree.--Carabinieri (talk) 18:16, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think it should also be collected all in one place as well as scattered across multiple articles. SpinningSpark 20:14, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Where are the reliable sources that assert the noteworthiness of the subject or its collection of member organizations? czar 23:06, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't need to meet GNG if the information is not on a dedicated page. I raised PRESERVE in connection with redirecting, not in connection with the substantive page. SpinningSpark 18:02, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
User:Spinningspark, maybe I'm just a little slow, but I'm still not exactly sure what outcome you're pushing for. Merging? If so, to what article?--Carabinieri (talk) 20:53, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm pushing for the Wikipedia policy of PRESERVEing encyclopaedic information. Whether that is done as a merge, and to which article, is a secondary issue, but International Workers' Association is a suitable target since that is where they have split from. If the response to that is it would be WP:UNDUE weight in that article, then I am at keep. We can't have good information falling between two stools like that. This would be a classic case of applying WP:IAR in those circumstances. SpinningSpark 14:40, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment in addition to the source found by Carabinieri, I've found a couple of other respectable mentions. They're not very substantial, so I don't think they'd save this article from being merged, but I hope that they can stay with the material as useful references if a merge happens.

  • Delete as WP:TOOSOON. Redirecting or merging to the IWA article makes no sense as they're rival organisations, and if the IWC doesn't become notable then it shouldn't have WP:UNDUE weight in the IWA article. If it gets coverage, recreate it, but until then, there's nothing worth saving. Triptothecottage (talk) 08:11, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
