Wikipedia:Requests for deletion
Then follow these instructions on how to request a page for deletion. To find more information on what discussed deletions and quick deletions are:
PLEASE READ THIS
Before nominating: checks and alternatives
[change source]Prior to nominating article(s) for deletion, please be sure to:
- A. Read and understand these policies and guidelines
- The Wikipedia deletion policy, which explains valid grounds for deletion.
- The main four guidelines and policies that inform deletion discussions: notability (WP:N), verifiability (WP:V), reliable sources (WP:RS), and what Wikipedia is not (WP:NOT)
- Subject-specific notability guidelines, which can be found at Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines
- B. Carry out these checks
- Confirm that the article does not meet the criteria for quick deletion.
- If there are verifiability, notability or other sourcing concerns, take reasonable steps to search for reliable sources. (See step D.)
- Review the article's history to check for potential vandalism or poor editing.
- Read the article's talk page for previous nominations and/or that your objections haven't already been dealt with.
- Check "What links here" in the article's sidebar, to see how the page is used and referenced within Wikipedia.
- Check if there are interlanguage links, also in the sidebar, which may lead to more developed and better sourced articles. Likewise, search for native-language sources if the subject has a name in a non-Latin alphabet (such as Japanese or Greek), which is often in the lead.
- C. Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted
- If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for RfD.
- If the article was recently created, please consider allowing the contributors more time to develop the article.
- If an article has issues try first raising your concerns on the article's talk page, with the main contributors, and/or adding a cleanup tag, such as
{{notability}}
,{{hoax}}
,{{original research}}
, or{{advert}}
; this ensures readers are aware of the problem and may act to fix it. - If the topic is not important enough to merit an article on its own, consider merging or redirecting to an existing article. This should be done particularly if the topic name is a likely search term.
- D. Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability
- The minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Books search, a Google News search, and a Google News archive search; Google Scholar is suggested for academic subjects.
- If you find a lack of sources, you've completed basic due diligence before nominating. However, if a quick search does find sources, this does not always mean an RfD on a sourcing basis is unwarranted. If you spend more time examining the sources, and determine that they are insufficient, e.g., because they only contain passing mention of the topic, then an RfD nomination may still be appropriate.
- If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination. Instead, you should consider citing the sources, or at minimum apply an appropriate template to the page that flags the sourcing concern. Common templates include {{unreferenced}}, {{refimprove}}, {{third-party}}, {{primary sources}} and {{one source}}.
Discussed deletion
[change source]- Click "Change source" at the top of the page to be deleted.
- In the edit box, add this tag: {{rfd|REASON}}. Put it at the top of the page, above the rest of the text. Then, replace the text "REASON" with a short reason why the page should be deleted. Do not be too specific here. You can add more details on the discussion page (see below).
- It is a good idea to write a change summary to let others know what you are doing. You can say "nominating for deletion", "requesting deletion", or something like that.
- Click "Save changes" at the bottom to save the page with the deletion tag at the top.
- If the deletion tag has been added to the page, a box should appear at the top of the article with a link saying "Click here to create a discussion page!" Click that link.
- You should be taken to a page starting with "Creating Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/..." along with the current year and the name of the article to be deleted. In the edit box, the following tag should have already been added: {{RfD/Preload/Template}} . Replace the text PLACE REASON HERE with a more detailed reason why the page should be deleted.
- It is helpful to include links to the various policy pages about Wikipedia (that begin with Wikipedia:). Here are some examples of this: "This article is [[Wikipedia:COMPLEX|not easy to understand]]" or "Not a [[Wikipedia:notable|notable]] topic''. This will make others more aware of why the page is not acceptable under Wikipedia's policies.
- Click "Save changes" to save the new discussion page when you are done.
- A change summary you can write for this page is "creating discussion page", "starting deletion discussion", or something like that.
- As with the page for deletion, you can check the "Watch the page" box. This will let you know if someone else has replied to your discussion.
- Copy the title of the discussion page to the clipboard. You can do this by dragging the mouse over the text from "Wikipedia" to the end of the page title to highlight it, then right-clicking and selecting "Copy".
- Go to the list of deletion requests, and click "change source" beside the words "Current deletion request discussions".
- At the top of the list of discussions, paste the title from the clipboard (right-click and select "Paste"). Add a pair of curly brackets before and after the title to make a template that will copy the content of the discussion page onto the main deletion page, like this:
- {{Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2024/(name of page to be deleted)}}
- Finally, click "Save changes" to add the discussion to the list. If the page saves successfully, you should see your deletion discussion at the top of the list. And that's it!
If this is too complicated for you, there are some gadgets like Twinkle that you can use. This allows you to do it faster.
Quick deletion
[change source]If you think a page has nonsense content, add {{non}} to the top of the page.
If you think a page does not say why the subject is important, add {{notable}} to the top of the page.
If you think a page should be deleted per other quick deletion rules, add {{QD|reason}} to the top of the page.
Notifying the user
[change source]Generally, you should try to be civil and tell the user that created the page to join the discussion talking about the page. This can be done by adding {{subst:RFDNote|page to be deleted}} ~~~~
to the bottom of their talkpage.
Discussions
[change source]- The discussion is not a vote. Please make suggestions on what action to take, and support your suggestion with reasons.
- Please look at the article before you make a suggestion. Do not make an opinion using only the information given by the nominator. Looking at the history of the article may help to understand the situation.
- Please read other comments and suggestions. They may have helpful information.
- Start your comments or suggestions on a new line. Start with
*
and sign after your comment by adding~~~~
to the end. If you are responding to another editor, put your comment directly below theirs and make sure your comment is indented (using more than one*
). - New users can make suggestions, but their ideas may not be considered, especially if the suggestion seems to be made in bad faith. The opinion of users who had an account before the start of the request may be given more weight or importance.
- Suggestions by users using "sock puppets" (more than one account belonging to the same person) will not be counted.
- Please make only one suggestion. If you change your mind, change your first idea instead of adding a new one. The best way to do this is to put
<s>
before your old idea and</s>
after it. For example, if you wanted to delete an article but now think it should be kept, you could put: "Deletekeep". - If you would like an article to be kept, you can improve the article and try to fix the problems given in the request for deletion. If the reasons given in the nomination are fixed by changing, the nomination can be withdrawn by the nominator, and the deletion discussion will be closed by an administrator.
- Try to avoid confusing suggestions, such as delete and merge.
- Requests for deletion is not a war zone. You can click here for more information, although the page is not in Simple English.
Remember: You do not have to make a suggestion for every nomination. You should think about not making a suggestion if:
- A nomination involves a topic that you do not know much about.
- Everyone has made the same suggestion and you agree with that suggestion.
- All times are in UTC.

[change source]Keep They may not be mentioned, and yes, it would be better to either mention them at Axe or have a separate article. However, there are incoming links, and a pickaxe is an axe so Axe will at least give some information. They don't have to be mentioned to have the redirect. It also would have been very little effort -- even less than creating this RFD -- to just add a brief mention in the existing article. --Auntof6 (talk) 16:00, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

[change source]Delete, in fact, I might have just taken care of these without a discussion. Move the contents to appropriate categories if needed, but be aware that these categories are for actors in the English media, whether or not the actors are English themselves. That means we can't just move the contents to something like "English movie actors" or "English television actors". (I didn't check them all, but there's at least one that isn't English.) --Auntof6 (talk) 05:57, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

[change source]Wait - I have asked for this to be reviewed on the talk page of the article. Searches of him on the internet might only show up social media sites, but the references added to the article indicate he's received independent press coverage - including national newspapers, and Nigerian television. If he wasn't notable for his views and his work, I doubt they'd have bothered to provide that coverage of him. If the wait template I've added, and the note here don't help, then I'll deal with that when we come to it. DaneGeld (talk) 18:33, 10 February 2025 (UTC)- @DaneGeld: The wait template is for quick deletions. It doesn't apply to RFDs. In any case, the qd and wait templates have both been removed from the article, so we can just focus on this RFD. -- -- Auntof6 (talk) 17:03, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- I put wait on both locations (the article, and here) because I wanted to note the information I'd seen in the article from the references, and ensure that the creator of the RFD and the QD request were aware. The notes from the wait were put on its talk page, and are still there. Should I leave that information there? DaneGeld (talk) 17:43, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- @DaneGeld: Yes, you can leave it there. However, if you want people to consider it for this RFD, it should be here, too. People aren't going to read that talk page when looking at this RFD. -- Auntof6 (talk) 01:42, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Auntof6: I've copied the notes I put on the talk page, and I am going to amend my vote. Since Wait isn't an option, I will change it to a Keep vote. It needs a lot of work, but it could be a useful article. Thanks. DaneGeld (talk) 20:08, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Keep - A web search may only go to social media, but the references on the article clearly indicate that this guy has some prominent standing within Nigeria. He has coverage in Nigerian Newspapers, and has been referenced and covered by AIT News. He has an entry in the Biographical Legacy and Research Foundation's guide, as he was a presidential candidate in Nigeria in the 2011 elections.
He obviously has some weight - and whilst the article reads more like a CV than an article, and could do with some tidying up and links to personal info, it shouldn't be deleted. If he wasn't notable enough to speak about the subject to the national press and independent television services, then I doubt they would have given him the independent media and press coverage to air his views and opinions.

[change source]- Weak delete This is a pretty close paraphrase to [1] which is a press release. So right now, this article is basically a press release for a militant group.

[change source]- Keep: The article is available for various sister wikipedia. I found that it was created in 2023 on Kashmiri Wikipedia. While multiple citations looks good and reliable which means it is significantly covered and notable.Uniperplex (talk) 03:50, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Keep covered in multiple sources independent of the subject. Seems notable to me and passes RS. fr33kman 01:22, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- Weak delete - There's some poor sources in the article - press releases, a couple of the sites feel iffy from reading their "About us" page, and several sources have a byline like "JK Monitor News Network", or no byline at all [2], which is a flag for churnalism or w:WP:NEWSORGINDIA. [3] and [4] feels like solid sources with significant coverage (especially the second), although those are about a news account by Chenab Times, not the Foundation. So not as helpful as at first glance. A couple of other sources likewise focus on Chenab Times news group, with a passing mention, at best, of the Foundation. Overall, I'm not seeing quality sources with significant coverage of the Foundation. I see churnalism and puff pieces, passing mentions or coverage of the Chenai Times news company.

The outcome of this request for deletion was to Delete. After review of the arguments, the comments for keeping the article mostly had to do with the news stories and publicity related to the death of the person, rather than any Wikipedia guideline. On the other hand, many of the comments supporting deletion provided valid policy and guideline-based arguments on why the article should be deleted. This deletion applies to the subject of the article, his death, and any other closely related subjects. If, in the future, there are valid reasons per Wikipedia guidelines to restore the article, a deletion review should be opened. Best, -Griff (talk) 15:45, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

- Want to share that this recently published Vice Article "Is Porn Destroying Us?" discussed Malone and that is what led me to this Wikipedia.
- Alas, Google results for Nautica Malone are populated by news of his death - with or without the wiki article.
- With the long term effects of pornography and gooning unknown, Malone is a subject of impacts from gooning, pornography and masturbation.
- The Wikipedia article for Malone is about the incident of his death as it seems this is what he is most known for.
- Personally, not sure if I'd vote for or against but would like to contribute to the discussion. Blueishbeaver (talk) 23:10, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Delete. This meets the general notability guideline, but per en:Wikipedia:Notability (events), neither the person nor his suicide has any lasting historical significance. 205.154.244.130 (talk) 23:33, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

- I strongly agree with your statement about the importance of this article. I understand that the subject matter of this article may be sensitive, but it is integral to create a place where uncomfortable topics can be shared in order for people to better grasp the dangers of engaging in public indecency. 一樣月光 (talk) 19:06, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- that isn't what wikipedia is for though, this doesn't make it notable. once again, every small non-notable daily occurrence can teach a lesson TSF.Wikipedia 14:29, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
Delete It's interesting that most of the sources in the article are outside of the country where this event happened. A suicide, while tragic, if generally not going to be notable by itself. There's clearly been some trolling around this, and probably some nonsense from various forums that delight in mocking others. w:WP:ONEEVENT has some excellent advice that's relevant here and supports deleting the article. Ravensfire (talk) 02:00, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
- The article on enwiki went through the AFD process there w:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Suicide of Nautica Malone where it was quickly closed as deleted for both the large number of delete comments as well as "serious WP:BLP (w:WP:BDP, w:WP:BLPCRIME, WP:BIO1E) concerns alongside blatant w:WP:NOTNEWS failures Ravensfire (talk) 23:04, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Keep. Regardless of the intent behind its creation, the page presents factual details that could be relevant in discussions about pornography abuse/addiction, its impact on individuals, and how these cases are perceived in media and society. FakeFrosty (talk) 03:40, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Keep We've got articles for other seeming viral nonsense, considering this was a genuine living person with some pretty uncommon circumstances and temporary vitality/notoriety, it seems worth cataloging.

Keep same as Steven1991 CassiJevenn (talk) 22:42, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
Delete This article should be deleted because it fails multiple core Wikipedia policies. Malone is only notable for his public suicide, which violates WP:BIO1E and WP:NOTNEWS—Wikipedia isn’t the place to document single, tragic events, especially when there’s no lasting significance beyond the news cycle. Reliable, independent coverage about Malone’s life outside this one event is also nonexistent, making the article heavily reliant on questionable sources like TMZ and Twitter. On top of that, this page has clearly become a target for trolling and mockery, as seen here and in the English Wikipedia discussion, where it was already deleted. Keeping it risks further harm to his family and contradicts WP:CRIME and WP:NOTHARASS. Arguments for keeping the article because of its relevance to internet culture or pornography are speculative at best—those topics can be addressed without sensationalizing someone’s death. Overall, this article doesn’t meet notability standards, it perpetuates trolling, and it lacks encyclopedic value. Deletion is the best move here.. LJF2019 (talk) 03:31, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
Delete fails notability for a single event. As an aside there is confirmed sock puppetry and probable meat puppetry going on on this page. fr33kman 02:58, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- Agreed BigKrow (talk) 13:04, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- KEEP We need to educate ourselves on the goon lord in order to better understand what could drive someone to do that, the argument that because this was the only thing he accomplished in his life and as such we should not keep the wiki page is flawed because many people have only contributed to the world in one way before dying. The fact that this was a significant cultural event makes the argument to keep even stronger. Many people have only done one significant thing in their life and have gotten recognized for it, and in this day and age with the internet more and more people are seeing the goon lord, so it is important to recognize these events to prevent them from happening in the future.

Delete Looking at WP:CRIM, this definitely does not meet any of the requirements - memes die out all the time, and this is nowhere near notable enough, nor has he been documented anywhere near enough outside of this one specific event. Plus, it fails WP:NOTHARASS, WP:NOTNEWS, and several other WP standards. Until the day that he is used as an emblem for mental health awareness for hyper-sexuality, or the effects of pornography, or something of that nature, delete. Goon in peace, Nautica.
