How Can We Help?

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

TransPennine Express (disambiguation)

Since there are only two other topics that could be known as the 'Transpennine Express', I think that this dab page is not needed/useful. A hatnote at the main TPE article linking to the two could suffice JuniperChill (talk) 16:46, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. JuniperChill, I think you hint at WP:2DABS yet I see 3 items at the disambiguation page. Can you clarify? gidonb (talk) 13:50, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Gidonb I said 'two OTHER topics' per WP:TWOOTHER. I think you are confused that on the main TransPennine Express page, it will have links to the two pages TransPennine Express (2016–2023) and First TransPennine Express via a hatnote. Basically, TPE has a primary topic with two other topics is another way to put it. JuniperChill (talk) 14:09, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, yet we do not have a rule against disambiguation pages with three items either. gidonb (talk) 15:14, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. No policy reason to delete this valid disambiguation page. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:37, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Please refrain from unnecessary AfDs. There are way too many AfDs. gidonb (talk) 20:49, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Shhhnotsoloud, nothing in the nomination is a reason to delete. Thryduulf (talk) 10:12, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok fine, here is a policy example located at WP:TWOOTHER: "If there are two or three other topics, it is still possible to use a hatnote which lists the other topics explicitly, but if this would require too much text (roughly, if the hatnote would extend well over one line on a standard page), then it is better to create a disambiguation page and refer only to that."
    So my proposal hatnote would have been:
    This page is about the 2023 operator. For the 2016–2023 operator, see TransPennine Express (2016–2023). For the 2004–2016 operator, see First TransPennine Express.
    It may vary but for me, its 1 1/3 of the way there. An alternative is to create a page called TransPennine Express franchise or TransPennine Express (brand) if its allowed. Then the dab page can redirect to it after its been created as what happened to ScotRail (brand). JuniperChill (talk) 17:29, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. Coverage is limited to routine game coverage, team-affiliated sources, and sports databases; there are no examples of independent WP:SIGCOV of this individual player. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:21, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]


I have added further sources, including an independent article which largely focuses on the subject, Ricco Diack. Additionally, this is a player that I am confident further material will be published on in the coming season. Partickthistle123 (talk)

  • Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 17:57, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no evidence of notability. Herald source is decent, but not enough on its own. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. GiantSnowman 18:04, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify – Per WP:TOOSOON. Could become notable in the medium term. Svartner (talk) 22:33, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    As nominator I would support draftification provided @Partickthistle123 does. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:08, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I’m fine with draftification, I will continue to update the page in draft form and add independent sources as they are published. Hopefully the page will become improved to the extent it can be fully restored. Partickthistle123 (talk) 11:14, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Draftify as nominator. Dclemens1971 (talk) 11:37, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The three Daily Record pieces referenced are all interview-heavy with very little WP:SIGCOV of the subject and my searches do not yield much else. Subject fails WP:GNG. JTtheOG (talk) 02:35, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
