Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/United Kingdom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

  • Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
    1. Jefferson, David (Autumn 1986). "Francis Vose director of Creepy Crawlies at Cosgrove Hall". Animator. No. 17. Archived from the original on 2024-08-11. Retrieved 2024-08-11.

      The article notes: "Creepy Crawlies is a new series about seven insects that live at the bottom of the garden. They find things we would regard as rubbish, but they see it differently. ... The animation team is lead by director, Francis Vose, Rachel and Loyd are animators and Mark and Bryan are the cameramen. Vose is given the script and he breaks down each scene into shots. ... The Creepy Crawlies set is unusual in that it is circular in design and can be viewed from all sides. The whole thing is on wheels and can be rotated. This gives depth within a shot because all the available studio space can be given over to the one large set. It also saves space by being able to revolve any side towards the camera."

    2. MacDonald, Keith (1987-01-03). "After Samantha for breakfast". Manchester Evening News. Archived from the original on 2024-08-11. Retrieved 2024-08-11 – via Newspapers.com.

      The article notes: "The Christmas card that proved the biggest talking point this year was covered in creepy crawlies, the creations of the Chorlton cum Hardy fun factory of Cosgrove Hall productions where ITV's latest pre-school series has been born. The Creepy Crawlies, which starts on Wednesday, are a colourful lot — in fact the card carried a suggestion that the creepy crawlies might be detached and framed. Paul Nicholas supplies all seven voices for Mr Ancient, an elderly caterpillar; Ariadne, a fluttery spider; Mr Harrison, a rather pompous snail; Lambeth, a body-building beetle; Anoraka, a woodlouse; a worm called Suppose the Nose; and a very pretty Ladybird."

    3. Powell, Lynne (1987-01-07). "Lynne Powell's TV Star Choice". Birmingham Metronews. Archived from the original on 2024-08-11. Retrieved 2024-08-11 – via Newspapers.com.

      The article notes: "Just Good friends' Penny would think this highly appropriate Paul Nicholas, alias Vince in the hit BBC series, turns up as one of The Creepy Crawlies on children's TV today. Silken-voiced Paul is the narrator and every single voice in the series, including Lambeth the body-building beetle, Anorak the wood louse and pompous snail Mr Harrison. The new 13-part series, on Central at 4 p.m. is repeated tomorrow."

    4. Inglis, Ruth (1987-03-30). "How to animate a cartoonist". The Guardian. ProQuest 186765378. Archived from the original on 2024-08-11. Retrieved 2024-08-11 – via Newspapers.com.

      The article notes: "Hall and Cosgrove had an idea as Walt Disney realised before them that animators did their best work as a team. Unlike most other artists who tend to bloom in private, car toonists need to test things out together. Two young animators at Cosgrove Hall for example, had cogitated for months on how to get Worm in and out of his hole in gradual stages in The Creepy Crawlies, a series now showing on Thames for the under-fives; they ended up by making 31 different lengths of worm sculptures for this saga of suburban fauna."

    5. "Thames variety". Screen International. No. 586. 1987-02-07. p. 32. ProQuest 963226852.

      The article notes: "Creepy Crawlies, 13 x 10 min. From Thames' subsidiary Cosgrove Hall Productions, comes a new original pre-school series which introduces an entirely new set of Cosgrove Hall characters living at the bottom of a suburban garden. Paul Nicholas provides the voice of narrator."

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Creepy Crawlies to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Non-notable NGO, probably does good work, but that's not our notability definition. This was declined a few times at AfC, then recreated directly in the main space.

WP:OR and WP:SYNTH that is promoting a non-notable WP:NEOLOGISM. WP:BEFORE does show that this phrase has been used in passing by a few journalists, but fails WP:SIGCOV.

Lacks independent, sig/in-depth coverage in RS and does not meet NMODEL. Earlier PROD'd by @Voorts: Flagged as UPE. — Saqib (talk I contribs) 16:24, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I believe this meets WP:NMODEL. According to WP:NMODEL: This guideline applies to actors, voice actors, comedians, opinion makers, pornographic actors, models, and celebrities. Such a person may be considered notable if: (1) The person has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.
In this case of this young model, Natasha Arben as I read from the page, she "has appeared in the Frontis Piece of Country Life Magazine,[1] and has appeared on the front covers of L'Officiel Monaco,[2], L’Officiel Cyprus[3] and L’Officiel Ibiza.[4]"
For me, these features can be classified as significant roles according to WP:NMODEL. She didn't pay the magazines to feature her on their covers. She earned these organically and meritoriously as a professional model. This is the major reason I de-prodded the page. Let other editors weigh in on this.

@BaharatlıCheetos2.0'ın devamı: It would be hard for me (and presumably others with poor Turkish) to check the sources. From your user name I assume your native language is Turkish. Perhaps if you wrote the article in Turkish Wikipedia and used the “alıntı” parameter to quote from the sources then readers would be able to check more easily whether it is correct. If you cannot do that then please at least specify the page numbers. Chidgk1 (talk) 05:58, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: The sources I found in this search on British Newspaper Archive largely were passing mentions. The best sources are these two sources which each provide a few sentences of coverage:
    1. "BBC do four new serials for children". The Stage and Television Today. No. 4874. 1974-09-12. p. 15. ProQuest 1040358191. Retrieved 2024-08-08 – via British Newspaper Archive.

      The article notes: "Deborah Makepeace plays a teenager in The Chinese Puzzle, a six-part thriller serial filmed on location on the South Kent coast, beginning in November. The serial, written by Brian Finch, marks the professional debut of 13-year-old Michael Tattersfield. Producer is Bill Sellars, director Alan Bell."

This child received some news coverage years ago in the context of a single event. The subject is notable for only one event and according to our policies on BLP likely doesn't merit an article.

His invention was included in a museum exhibition a couple of years after the initial news coverage, but I still don't think this is enough. MarchOfTheGreyhounds 17:19, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: The sources are all about a 5 yr old that got a patent, which I suppose could be notable; no coverage past 2010 of his patent. I'm not even sure what he's done since then. Having a patent isn't notable; I don't see lasting coverage and this seems to fall into 1E territory. His broom idea doesn't seem to have gone anywhere as you can't seem to buy one... Kid invents something at a young age that then never gets built. His idea is likely past the point of patent coverage now, which I think is around 15 yrs, so his idea is public domain at this point. No further developments have happened, so I don't think he's notable. Oaktree b (talk) 22:14, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Similiar reason to nominate as this nomination - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Harry Metcalfe (2nd nomination)

Sources are dubious at best - the Telegraph and Auto Trader source is about a TV show in some minor-league TV station that doesn't warrant notability. His recent presenting job in Carwow only warrant notability on its own page, not on this. Hobbyist sources such as autoevolution are dubious at best. Quality of that page is dubious at best. A check per WP:BEFORE do not show much any reliable sources at all. Also fails WP:JOURNALIST.

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

This article appears to be about a livestock market that has changed date and location a few times. I was able to find a reference to medieval Saturday markets, but that 1. doesn't support the implied claim of continuity 2. still wouldn't be a claim of notability since most medium sized towns have markets of one form or another.

Looking at a current list of What's on in Beverley, there's nothing with this exact name. It's clearly the case that there are and were several markets, fairs, festivals and other community events in Beverley - searching online brings up results for the Festival of Christmas, Beverley Puppet Fest before any mention of a livestock fair - none individually notable enough for a Wikipedia article.

I would redirect to Beverley#Culture and amenities. As the article is currently entirely unsourced, I don't believe there's anything that needs merging or preserving. -- D'n'B-t -- 10:02, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, this list definitely can be verified, and deletion is not cleanup. The question is whether this information should exist on the wiki at all, and IMO it should.

This appears to be a vanity page for a musician. While his body of work is extensive, I cannot find any substantial online coverage of him to fulfill WP:BASIC or WP:MUSICBIO. The second reference states that he has topped the UK music charts twice, but this appears to be a fanzine of questionable reliability and I can't find any mention of him at the official chart website. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 08:32, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These are the notability guidelines Wikipedia follows for keeping articles on musicians: WP:MUSICBIO. We need reliable sources (WP:RS) to show the article subject meets the criteria. At present it's unlikely there are enough sources, so if you can provide such references that would significantly help. (Note I have been unable to verify the Gold certifications via the British Phonographic Industry website, so help on that would also be useful). ResonantDistortion 07:04, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Beverley town fair (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

This article appears to be about a livestock market that has changed date and location a few times. I was able to find a reference to medieval Saturday markets, but that 1. doesn't support the implied claim of continuity 2. still wouldn't be a claim of notability since most medium sized towns have markets of one form or another.

Looking at a current list of What's on in Beverley, there's nothing with this exact name. It's clearly the case that there are and were several markets, fairs, festivals and other community events in Beverley - searching online brings up results for the Festival of Christmas, Beverley Puppet Fest before any mention of a livestock fair - none individually notable enough for a Wikipedia article.

I would redirect to Beverley#Culture and amenities. As the article is currently entirely unsourced, I don't believe there's anything that needs merging or preserving. -- D'n'B-t -- 10:02, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

None of the sources presently used establish notability (either due to not saying much about Davey, or not being RS, or not being independent), and I wasn't able to find significant coverage of Robin Davey in reliable sources, only mentions.

Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:SPORTCRIT. Only secondary sources in the article and found during WP:BEFORE check are match reports with surface level coverage of the subject. AlexandraAVX (talk) 16:25, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (contributor). I tried improving this to bring it back to mainspace, based on elements of BASIC per SPORTBASIC (the guidelines that covers the notability of people and athletics), as a combination of secondary sources, rather than the need for exclusive SIGCOV (the guidelines that covers the notability of general topics). So far there is Sky Sports and BBC for this, which I believe is beyond trivial, and borderline BASIC per Govvy comment. It's otherwise unfortunately that the BBC's Women's Football Show episodes are no longer available, as I remember distinct post-game coverage of Draper after her initial goal; that of her international career, prospects and style of play (beyond ROUTINE), that would certainly cross the threshold for basic notability (people and sports-related). I'll try find a copy of this somewhere to see if it could be used as a cite av media ref, even if not possible as an online source. I think it's also fair to assume basic based on "they have achieved success in a major international competition at the highest level", that of being top scorer in the U17 Euro qualifying, as subjectively the U17 Euros are the highest level of competition at that age range, though I can understand how this is intended for senior competitions only, as well as only a guide to likelihood of notability, as opposed to notability itself. Either way, it wouldn't be too much of a loss if the page get's deleted, as I suspect there will be SIGCOV soon enough for it to return. It would be unfortunate for an active WSL player to have their page deleted, but based on policy/coverage it'd be understandable. I can only assume it's age-related as to why there isn't further coverage, given she would be one of the very few active WSL players to have scored a league goal and not have an article. CNC (talk) 16:34, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Have added a third source for notability [4], so per above comment, that should cover SPORTBASIC. The online source is unavailable, but can be verified here, or otherwise by requesting archival footage from the BBC for non-commercial purposes if preferred (but otherwise nothing wrong with citing media as RS per WP:PUBLISHED). I realise as well that ROUTINE only covers local sources for sport, so with BBC and Sky Sports, game coverage counts for multiple sig cov. At least, I think it's hard to argue that coverage of scoring the winning goal in an important game isn't significant. We can get round to the YT argument if needed, but as it's a verified account from a reliable source (Sky Sports Football) it is "inheriting their level of reliability" per WP:RSPYOUTUBE so shouldn't be needed. CNC (talk) 17:42, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Routine is definitely not restricted to local sources; per policy: For example, routine news coverage of announcements, events, sports, or celebrities, while sometimes useful, is not by itself a sufficient basis for inclusion of the subject of that coverage. NSPORT's requirement that local sources cannot be routine game coverage does not mean only local sources can be routine game coverage. The video is primary and does not contain encyclopedic coverage: it is routine match commentating and amounts to no more than a sentence or two at most: absolutely not SIGCOV. If this was sufficient for NSPORT purposes we would have articles on every DI and probably DII college football player. JoelleJay (talk) 23:34, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for the reasons stated above, but also worth adding here that Draper recently signed a pro contract with Leicester. Until now, her WSL appearances had been as an academy player mostly coming off the bench, so reasonable chance of her making match day squads more often. Delete this article and we could end up having to restore it long before Christmas. Leonstojka (talk) 17:12, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. There is no instance of WP:SIGCOV in an independent, reliable source as required under WP:NSPORT, and thus the subject also fails WP:GNG which requires multiple instances. Sourcing is limited to WP:ROUTINE match coverage, stats pages, and coverage in affiliated sources. Per a "keep" voter's assertion that she may become more notable in the future given her career prospects, I would be open to a "draftify" outcome if others believe that would be productive; ping me if so and I'll reconsider my current !vote. Dclemens1971 (talk) 03:50, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify as this appears to be the case that notability is not quite there, but due to the age of the subject and current state of the article, 'sufficient' notability could exist within the next year. C679 10:55, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
