Articles for Deletion (AfD) is where Wikipedians decide what should be done with an article. Items sent here usually wait five days or so; afterward the following actions can be taken on an article as a result of community consensus:
More information.
Things to consider:
- It is important to read and understand the Wikipedia deletion policy which states which problems form valid grounds for deletion before adding comments to this page.
- Use the "what links here" link which appears in the sidebar of the actual article page, to get a sense how the page is being used and referenced within Wikipedia.
- Please familiarize yourself with some frequently cited guidelines, in particular WP:BIO, WP:FICT, WP:MUSIC and WP:COI.
AfD etiquette:
- Please be familiar with the policies of not biting the newcomers, Wikiquette, no personal attacks, and civility before adding a comment.
- Sign any listing or vote you add, by adding this after your comment: ~~~~.
- If you are the primary author or otherwise have a vested interest in the article, say so openly, clearly base your vote on the deletion policy, and vote only once, like everyone else.
- Your opinion will be given the most weight if you are logged in with an account that already existed when the nomination was made. Anonymous and new users are welcome to contribute to the discussion, but their votes may be discounted, especially if they seem to be made in bad faith.
- Please vote only once. If there is evidence that someone is using sock puppets (multiple accounts belonging to the same person) to vote more than once, those votes will not be counted.

- Saeed Hotari (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
No citations. Non notable. Message from XENUu, t 21:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Deconfliction (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Non-notable. Searching for 'deconfliction transgender' returns no books or news articles, and only mirrors of ghits. SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 20:51, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Such a list could go on forever, and there is no organizational elements which makes any sense out of what is there. Examples are sufficient (main article) without adding an endless set of more examples. Ron B. Thomson (talk) 21:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Bildungsroman examples (pre-1930) (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
This is a continuation of an already uselessly long list of examples for this genre. noit (talk) 20:35, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- The Frightened Prisoners of the Kraken (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Nonnotable band with one independent release in 2001. Only claim to notability is airplay by a couple of DJs. No independent sources. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:47, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Llegos Me Voy (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Future album, fails WP:CRYSTAL. It does have a title, but the rest is speculation and rumor. Contested prod. TN‑X-Man 19:42, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Veggetto (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Nonsense article. The name isn't even spelt correctly. Fails WP:ORIGINAL, WP:VERIFY, and WP:NOTE. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Joseph Andrei Garcia (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Promotional piece about an unnotable child actor. Fails WP:BIO. All "sources" are his own websites and directory listings except for a minor piece about one television series. Declined speedy. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Rhinestone Cowboy (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Technically this is part dicdef, part muddled disambig. There are only partial matches ("David Allan Coe" = "mysterious rhinestone cowboy"; never heard of that before), a song by a non-notable hip hop duo, and part of a nickname for Loy Allen Bowlin. Given that there's only one exact match that actually has a page (the Glen Campbell song), I think this should be deleted as a confusing semi-dab. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 19:01, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Critique of Intelligent Design (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Contested prod. Article is about a future book publication, thus violating WP:CRYSTAL. Content seems largely copy/pasted from the only reference cited, which is the publisher's homepage. No objection to re-creating article once book is published. TN‑X-Man 18:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - Copyright violation of source text. --Explodicle (T/C) 19:00, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Delete I removed the copyright violation, so that part is no longer an issue. However, it still violates WP:CRYSTAL and does not assert notability. -kotra (talk) 20:19, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- American Idol Hot 100 singles (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Trivial intersection; a list of all Hot 100 singles for American Idol contestants. This list, in addition to having no sources for the chart positions, is redundant to the existing discography pages. Also, the "Most weeks on chart" sections are unsourced. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Red Pen Letter (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Fails WP:MUSIC. It has gotten coverage in secondary sources. In addition to the references in the article I found [1], but I do not think that it adds up to significant coverage.
Tagged for notability since June 2007. AmaltheaTalk 16:33, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

- Friends For Life Bike Rally (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Pure advertorial billinghurst (talk) 18:04, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Weak delete - promotional tone is not a reason for deletion, but notability is. Article does not assert notability or cite any references. A cursory google search only turned up one mention in a third-party publication. If there are more sources as good or better than that one (and they are used in the article), I would say keep. As the article stands now, though, delete. -kotra (talk) 20:58, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- 3 Peat (song) (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Non-notable single, has not charted on an airplay chart (Mediabase 24/7, BDS, etc), per the typical standard for notability of singles (Hot 100 is largely digital and traditional sales based). Winger84 (talk) 17:49, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Keep: "has not charted on an airplay chart…per the typical standard for notability of singles". Per the typical standard for notability of singles, actually any "national or significant music charts" meets the criteria. Please follow the actual guideline when making presumed factual statements. In addition:
- The song is actually not a single. Notice how the word "single" is nowhere mentioned in the article. Not all songs are singles.
- The Billboard Hot 100 is actually a created through a combination of airplay and sales chart. Hence the Hot 100 Airplay, the Hot 100 Singles Sales and the Hot Digital Songs. Do U(knome)? yes...or no 18:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- However, the record has not "charted," that is, it has not reached a position of #40 or better. --Winger84 (talk) 18:54, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- It's the "Hot 100"…anyway, who says that "charted" means "reached a position of #40 or better"? I'm pretty sure that to chart only means "to appear on a hit-recording chart". Do U(knome)? yes...or no 19:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- It's not original research, actually. It's a common sense term and definition used in the music industry. Ask any artist, record rep, radio station music director or program director (such as myself) what a song must achieve to "chart" and to a person they'll reply "the top 40." --Winger84 (talk) 19:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Common sense would be that on an English encyclopedia we use words according to their definition in an English vocabulary, not the one "used in the music industry" because "any artist, record rep, radio station music director or program director" would say so.citation needed If you don't like the terminology, go complain about it at WT:MUSIC, as this really isn't the place to do so. Till then, please try to debate according to Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and not the alleged-music-industry's ones.Do U(knome)? yes...or no 20:13, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Prankers Pond (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Subject is not notable. Hirolovesswords (talk) 17:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Delete: Definitely not notable. I live a few miles away, and I've never heard of it. Only a handful of ghits, and almost all of them are about parties at Prankers Pond, not the Pond itself (e.g. size, location, history). Calor (talk) 18:07, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Level 8 error (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Contested prod. Article is a dictionary definition, with little apparent room for expansion. I'm hard-pressed to see how this is notable. TN‑X-Man 17:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Non-contested. The article is a documentation of a movement by IT professionals that is intended to be inclusive and expanded upon by those who are close to or within the movement itself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ultimatescott (talk • contribs) 17:14, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
Speedy delete. Patent nonsense. (I think I have seen the term used as a joking reference to human error - see the linked-to image - but that is non-notable and not described in this article.) — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 17:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy delete. The correct term is Layer 8 error, not Level 8 error. The term is already covered in the Layer 8 article. --Clubjuggle T/C 17:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Comment Ultimatescott, I don't think "Non-contested" means what you think it means. By "Contested prod", what Tnxman307 means is that he put up a tag proposing its deletion, and you removed the tag, thereby contesting it, i.e. arguing that the article should not be deleted. When a deletion proposal ("prod") is contested, the standard procedure is to bring the matter to AfD here, which is what Tnxman307 did. If you say the prod is Non-contested, that would mean you're not arguing against it, i.e. that you're okay with the article being deleted. I'm guessing that's probably not what you meant. (See WP:PROD for more information about the deletion proposal process.) --Smeazel (talk) 17:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Merge & Redirect to Layer 8. Specifically, the referenced portions only. I believe this is a plausible typo, as several texts I own refer to the OSI Model as layers or levels. Turlo Lomon (talk) 19:00, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy redirect to Layer 8. Thank you Turlo Lomon for reminding me where I had seen the term. But this is patent nonsense - there is nothing to merge. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 19:37, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- Lambda Productions (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)
Web of six interconnected articles (of which one, Pablito SacoRojo, was earlier nominated separately), all about completely non-notable subjects. At first, I thought it was nothing but a hoax--a Lambda Productions does exist[4], but it's clearly not the company the article is about, and "Davi Jueves" and "Esteban Iceberg" yield no Google hits except to Wikipedia itself, mirrors, and coincidental conjunctions of words[5][6]). Plus, aside from the implausibility of some of the content (for example, La Vida Saludable Con Davi "grossed a worldwide total of $0" and "was an instant success"?), the external (and some internal) links link either to nonexistent pages or to other locations than they claim (the link allegedly to the IMdB entry for Esteban Iceberg, for example, actually goes to the entry for Spike Jonze, and the link to "Gremlin Award" in Davi Jueves actually goes to Academy_Awards). But then I googled "La Vida Saludable Con Davi" and found this. So "La Vida Saludable Con Davi" does exist, as a ten-minute video on YouTube. Which means this isn't just a hoax--it's a whole network of articles created to publicize a YouTube video. Which may be worse. --Smeazel (talk) 16:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- I am also nominating the following related pages because they're all part of the same interconnected set of articles:
- Esteban Iceberg (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Davi Jueves (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- La Vida Saludable Con Davi (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- Maria: La Biografia de lo ganador do premio "La Mejor Comida de Microondas de Pirassununga em 2005" (|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Also, as mentioned above, Pablito SacoRojo, also part of this web of articles, has its own AfD here.
