Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Caribbean
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Caribbean. 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|Caribbean|~~~~}} 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 Caribbean. 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 Americas.

The only sources that cover this friendly football tournament are run-of-the-mill announcements that the tournament will occur and reporting of the results. This tournament meets neither WP:NEVENT nor WP:GNG. voorts (talk/contributions) 15:52, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Women, Events, Football, Netherlands, Caribbean, and Trinidad and Tobago. voorts (talk/contributions) 15:52, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. There is some coverage that is more than run of the mill. The topic may move in the direction of notability for the tournament series, not for the editions. The proposed is an annual edition, however, and it is early for such historic perspective. So delete. gidonb (talk) 22:44, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete – Fails in WP:GNG. Svartner (talk) 03:14, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: The sources are just basic announcements, and it's too early to say if the tournament itself will be historically significant. Waqar💬 18:21, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Subject does not meet the WP:NORG, with the only reference being a listing. Speedy was declined so bringing this to AfD. Let'srun (talk) 23:16, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Organizations and Netherlands. Let'srun (talk) 23:16, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
Delete or redirect. NORG is not measured by references but by sources. Nominators need to do a BEFORE, not a review of references in the article. That said, article is extremely brief and provides virtually no context. Maybe can be redirected somewhere? Otherwise deletewithout prejudice. gidonb (talk) 11:54, 29 June 2024 (UTC)- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Caribbean-related deletion discussions. North America1000 15:17, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- I should clarify that a BEFORE didn't come up with any sources to lend the subject meeting any notability guideline. Let'srun (talk) 15:40, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- Keep The organization is best known as Sentral di Sindikatonan di Korsou, in Papiamento language. I added two references. It is one of the trade union associations of Curacao and represents ten local trade unions. The article requires more work. I hope to be able to find the time. Ruud Buitelaar (talk) 03:09, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: What is the target article being proposed for a possible redirect?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:09, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep. Ruud provided just enough context for keep. My previous delete was without prejudice against keeping if more context is provided, so this change is totally in line with my previous opinion. gidonb (talk) 23:33, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. As always, mayors are not "inherently" notable just for existing, and have to pass WP:NPOL #2 on significant reliable source coverage that enables us to write a substantial article about their political impact. This, however, features virtually none of the type of content (significant things he did, specific projects he spearheaded, specific effects his mayoralty had on the development of the city, etc.) that we would need to see, and is instead devoted almost entirely to things he did before or after the mayoralty rather than anything he did in the mayoralty — and it's referenced predominantly to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, while the few third-party footnotes come entirely from a weekly community hyperlocal rather than GNG-worthy media of record, and are mainly sourcing things like "former mayor has sports complex named after him" (which is not a notability criterion) and "former mayor pens open letter thanking the community" (which is really just another primary source, since he wrote it himself). This isn't what it takes to get a mayor over the wikibar. Bearcat (talk) 13:29, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: The subject meets the criteria of WP:GNG as these three sources have significant coverage and are independent as well, hence reliable:
He is a recipient of Romualdo Pacheco Award as well. [4] Macyramps (talk) 15:03, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete I struggle to see any sourcing that points to the political impact of the subject, as Bearcat describes. The LA Times articles are a bit better, but one one of them is primarily about the subject, and even that article is just that he was selected to lead a regional association. --Enos733 (talk) 16:30, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- "The association is made up of about 50 Southern California cities that run their own police and fire departments, hence the “independent” designation. Combined, they represent more than 7 million people." - it doesn't seem to be a regional association. Macyramps (talk) 08:11, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

- Delete Non-notable local official. News coverage seems to be mostly passing mentions and WP:ROTM stories about his mayorship. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 23:38, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete Small town mayor who didn't receive coverage for anything other than being a small town mayor. SportingFlyer T·C 16:18, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Excuse my naivety, but I believe the recent comments from fellow editors are not entirely accurate. The first comment suggests that the coverage is merely passing mention, yet there are several articles that provide significant coverage. The second comment labels him as just a small town mayor, but he holds other notable positions as well, such as President of the Independent Cities Association. He also ran for the state senate, won the Romualdo Pacheco Award, and serves as a Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army, a position that carries a three-star general protocol. I believe he meets the notability criteria. Maplelaple (talk) 19:04, 7 July 2024 (UTC) — Maplelaple (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- My comment referenced the fact that if he wasn't a mayor, which is usually the notability hook, he wouldn't otherwise be notable. SportingFlyer T·C 22:21, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- I understand, but the comments in this discussion seem contradictory. Some are saying there is no coverage about his mayoralty, while others claim the coverage is only about his mayoralty. Additionally, it is worth noting that he was the first refugee ever to be elected as Mayor of the City of Downey. I'm adding more sources below for further clarification:
- Mayorship Coverage: [5], [6], [7] and [8]
- Non-Mayorship Coverage:[9], [10], [11],[12],[13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18] and [19] Maplelaple (talk) 13:54, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- I've taken a look, and the vast majority of those are simply local news coverage or are related to his political campaigns. I apologize, but I still don't see enough there to keep this. SportingFlyer T·C 16:19, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

- Delete - I was the nominator for the first creation and my review still stands. No coverage since that time can be considered reliable enough to show notability. Based on the willingness to push this down Wikipedia's throat, would recommend SALTING or we will likely wind right back here in a few months. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:23, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Article created by user with COI. Immediately PRODed, but unPRODed by same user with no explanation. BLP has many "citation needed" tags and the only two citations present do not appear to be independent and reliable. Subject shows no notability. GoldRomean (talk) 00:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Grenada-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 04:46, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: This article reads like an advertisement and doesn't provide any credible sources to back up its claims. It seems promotional rather than informative. Waqar💬 18:33, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
