Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Geography

Shortcuts

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

Forrest Lake

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

While there are a number of Neighborhoods in Houston articles, this particular one looks to be more of a promo page for an everyday housing development, rather than an actual geo/socio region. In fact the header alone says it is within "the greater Inwood Area". I don't think this particular collection of townhomes is notable in any way. Hornpipe2 (talk) 17:10, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note also:
- previous speedy deletion in 2008, which was reverted by the page creator
- previous speedy deletion of "Forrest lake townhomes" for "blatant advertising"
- other questionable contributions from this particular editor

Delete: "Forrest Lake" seems to be a common name for places all over the world and North America...

comment I can find no evidence that the census provided a separate count for this place in either 1970 or 1990. By the latter date the CDP system was in place, and there's no claim that this is one. In 1970 the cutoff for unincorporated places to be reported separately was 5000, which this place isn't claimed to meet. Mangoe (talk) 05:28, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kugelmugel was mentioned in 'Atlas Obscura' book. In german wiki there is a section 'Reactivation' and reference to viennese 'Kronen Zeitung' of 30th May 2004, that it has 'opened its borders with Austria'. Might be more notable than most of micronations. Kolijars (talk) 21:35, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If kept the article should be reworked to be about the unusual house rather than a micronation. The dewiki article begins with "Kugelmugel is a spherical house with a diameter of 8 metres..." Drop the micronation infobox. Reywas92^Talk 15:55, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Godenu

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

I wasn't able to find significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources. Some of the sources linked in the article (like the first and third) don't even mention "Godenu". The fourth source mentions Godenu only once, as the "Gbi-Godenu Volta Region IFAD/SCIMP Project", seemingly a different thing. The second source does mention Godenu, but it's pretty brief. Other sources linked aren't reliable or aren't independent. I can find mentions of Godenu, like in this article, but that's it. toweli (talk) 16:21, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of disparaging nicknames for settlements

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

This should be deleted per WP:NLIST as "List of disparaging nicknames for settlements" is not notable as a set. There has been insufficient discussion of the set in reliable sources which establishes its notability as a set. Also per WP:NOTDICTIONARY "Wikipedia is not a dictionary, or a usage or jargon guide".

Procedural note: This really should have been nominated for deletion before Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of disparaging nicknames for settlements in the United States. I recommend any potential closer consider the outcome (or lack thereof) of that discussion before taking action here. --BDD (talk) 19:30, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This page had a very specific and unusual origin. Disparaging nicknames for places kept coming up at WP:RFD, and there was a lack of consensus on how to treat them. While redirects don't have to be neutral, pointing them to the places seemed unsatisfying because there typically wasn't any information about the name, which meant there was potential for reader confusion. The result was this list, where context and references could be provided for the names. Consensus can change, of course, but deletion risks reintroducing that problem to RFD. --BDD (talk) 19:30, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If we are going to have this content, then one list is best: everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler. Bearian (talk) 08:10, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete What little content in both of these lists is actually attributed to relaible sources can and shoud be merged into the articles in the settlements themselves. The rest is not properly sourced and therefore should not be hosted anywhere on Wikipedia. Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 18:07, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If the disparaging nickname isn't noteworthy enough to warrant mention in the article (and thus require a redirect to a placeholder article) then it has no any actual connection to the topic. We don't need to collect them here unless there are sources that show this grouping itself to be notable. czar 14:15, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
IMHO given the backstory provided by BDD, I'd suggest that we post some sort of discussion regarding disparaging nicknames to VPP. But if we are to discuss here (and you're more than welcome to copy over my thoughts and responses from here to there if such discussion is created), despite of TarnishedPath's NLIST and WWIN arguments, I concur with BDD think that if we delete the landfill, we end up littering the rest of the city, and creating a ton of new RFDs, which even though redirects are cheap, can overflow RFD like crazy. Furthermore, given the cultural relevance of many disparaging nicknames (such as Michigan being "That State Up North" to Ohioans), we might get a ton of people who create that redirect, only for it to be brought up at RFD over and over again. It might be best to keep not because it complies with policy, but as an exception to it, as containment rather than deletion would be better overall for this problem given that it is near-certain that this issue just won't stay dead. If it requires that we change policy in order to do so, procedurally it might be a drag, but I don't see a reason as to why we aren't capable of doing so. InvadingInvader (userpage, talk) 15:28, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The existence of the article doesn't stop unnecessary redirects in and of itself. I'm failing to see why we should have an exception to policy. TarnishedPath^talk 23:14, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Good number of hits on Newspapers.com for "Waco Daviess", including a 1999 obit that describes Waco as a small community [2]. Also many articles were published about Perry Baldwin, a country dentist who lived there [3]. One such article states "Just by tolerance the map makers have left Waco on the map. The average motorist wouldn't know when he passed thru. If you could put one point of a pair of dividers on Waco you could swing the instrument in a 20-mile radius before touching an honest-to-gosh town." and goes on to say the only reason people visit is for a log cabin dental office.

Comment
- A. Temple seems to have gotten "Temple" platted at least in the 1920s.
- It's on this 1950 census map.
- Post office applications in 1903 and 1933 just reiterate that it was between English and Marengo. One of the PO applicants was A. Temple.
- This history suggests it was on a historic road of pioneer days, and later supported a school and a church.

@Liz thanks for the ping. it's definitely not a keep vote.

Keep (disclaimer: major contributor). If the scope is vague, propose a move instead. If it attracts unsourced editing, that is not a reason to delete a page. See WP:BEFORE, Point C1: If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for AfD. Normal editing can fix the unsourced additions concern since undoing edits and rolling back to revisions are core embedded features to both Wikipedia and its extensions like Twinkle and RedWarn.

Keep per InvadingInvader. Who cares if it is trivia? At worst it can be merged. I don't know what genuine benefit it gives to ask whether there is a WP:LISTN source for specifically disparaging place names in the United States -- either it's too big to be in the main article and it should stay out, or it fits into the main article and it should be spun back into it. But the stuff I see here has sources and I don't really see a great argument for why it needs to go, other than it's bad in some nebulous way. jp×g 🗯️ 06:53, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is not a dictionary, phrasebook, or a slang, jargon, or usage guide. I question the accuracy of this, especially the ones not sourced.

As I noted on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of disparaging nicknames for settlements, that list was created to solve a specific problem at WP:RFD. That doesn't mean it's untouchable, but I believe that history should be taken into account. I also strongly recommend potential closers closely coordinate this discussion with the other. Avoid nonsensical outcomes (e.g., keep this but delete the parent) or time-wasters (e.g., merge this, then delete the parent). --BDD (talk) 19:33, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both. If the disparaging nickname isn't noteworthy enough to warrant mention in the article (and thus require a redirect to a placeholder article) then it has no any actual connection to the topic.
