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

Article of dubious necessity, which misrepresents its topic as being much more unique to a single country than it is. Addressing mail to a recipient "c/o" somebody else is not at all a uniquely Italian thing, but is actually a pretty standard and relatively universal phenomenon common to nearly all postal systems worldwide -- and the article describes absolutely nothing uniquely Italian about it unless you count the specific address in Rome that it uses as an explicatory example, which isn't really a meaningful distinction. (I don't know enough about Rome to know whether that's a real address that real people actually live at or not, but it also raises privacy concerns if it is, and thus shouldn't be in a Wikipedia article for the same reasons why we don't allow articles to contain phone numbers or e-mail addresses either.)
As we don't appear to have an article about the general concept of c/o addressing (or at least not one at the title c/o, which is a redirect to a disambiguation page), I wouldn't be opposed to repurposing this into one if people feel that an article about it would be warranted -- but we don't need an article just about c/o addressing in Italy specifically, if there's nothing distinctively Italian about it compared to how the same thing works everywhere else.

- I think it can be moved to C/O (address) or Care of (address). And the address can be edited more virtual (more looks like fake) for example the address number can be changed to 15247 if the real address number is up to 152, or instead of Rome (Roma), we can use Rume or Ruma.

- Delete. Agree that there is definitely no need for an article about c/o addressing in Italy specifically. I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea of an article about the general concept of c/o addressing either, but I couldn't find much out there about c/o addressing to merit an article without falling afoul of WP:NOTDICT and WP:NOTGUIDE.
