Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Wyoming

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

East Ridge (Wolf's Head)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

In compliance with WP:N, this article does not meet requirements for notability. The subject of this article is not discussed outside of guidebooks or trip reports and has (as best I can tell) never been mentioned in any mainstream news ¡Ayvind! (talk) 03:43, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Health and fitness, Geography, and Wyoming. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 09:43, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I don't see why good guidebooks or climbing books should be considered less worthy than "mainstream news." News outlets are not the only reliable sources. That said I would want to see *significant* mentions in more than one such source, by different authors, to consider a climbing route notable. Not sure yet if this route meets that standard. A secondary note that this seems to be one of a number of very short articles sourced primarily to Fifty Classic Climbs of North America (see East Buttress (Middle Cathedral), Northeast Face (Pingora), and many others at Category:Climbing routes), so whatever happens here may have relevance for them as well. —Ganesha811 (talk) 13:54, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

delete - Relevant material already covered at Wolfs Head. —Ganesha811 - Certainly climbing routes can potentially be notable as WP:GNG passes, and two reliable, independent sources could be enough to substantiate that, even if they are specialist climber press/books, but in this case, even if that were the case, we already have an article on the Wolf's Head that is not very long and the relevant subject matter is already there, so why do we need a separate article on it?

I agree, as it is I don't see any reason to keep the climbing route articles split from the articles on the peaks/mountains except in very rare cases (like some Everest routes). —Ganesha811 (talk) 11:55, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
