This page is the venue to request for the deletion of pages that cannot be speedy deleted (see also Template:Delete).

Scholarly articles

[edit]

There is very little abstract encyclopedic content that can come out of a page about a specific, non-notable scholarly article. JJPMaster (she/they) 19:07, 18 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

We currently don't have a community-ratified definition of notability. I've tried to kick off this discussion here. For now, I ask that stewards/global sysops wait until we come to a consensus on a policy. Feeglgeef (talk) 19:10, 18 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
@JJPMaster: very interesting request. I'm not entirely sure... I would tend to agree for these papers but not all of them (Attention Is All You Need (Q30249683) exists on 16 Wikipedias for instance), so where to put the threshold between notable and non-notable? on which criteria? Anyway, I agree to wait until the community reach a consensus on what is notable on AW. Also, I'm pinging @Immanuelle: who created these articles.

[edit]

See Talk:Q6489603. This does not work as a category, it is more an article about a category. --Ameisenigel (talk) 08:34, 31 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Under my proposed notability guideline, this would not be notable, so I Support Support deletion Feeglgeef (talk) 17:30, 31 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
@Ameisenigel @Feeglgeef Although the page has been deleted, I believe that the vague wording related to categories (and templates) should be clarified. Please review and improve the deletion policy to help current and future contributors better understand how categories are handled.

auto-created broken articles

[edit]

I suggest we do a bit of a cleanup of pages that were created by a software tool, using immature functions that have been deprecated for months, that would be very annoying to clean up by hand. So I propose deletion of the following (feel free to add to this list anything that matches this description). No prejudice to re-creation if anyone wants to make them good. --99of9 (talk) 07:20, 15 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

I thout the same, or even more: I would like to discuss if it is best to delete outdated articles. There is a lot of discussion and critique about a lot of those articles. I think in particular to articles created by @Immanuelle, that are not edited afterwards by somebody else. Those articles were a) created in mass and b) most of them with outdated functions. PS: I value the attempt of use:Immanuelle and hope to see him/her to continue on this project, now or later. HenkvD (talk) 07:44, 15 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Ping User:Immanuelle. Do you mind if we heavily clean up some of your contributions? --99of9 (talk) 08:25, 15 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Articles created by User:Immanuelle and not edited after creation. I would like to propose to delete these (if not already mentioned above):

Some are okay. I clicked on two, and IMO both should be kept: Q188 German, Q3503 Congo (River). So I think we need to go through them not just mass delete. --99of9 (talk) 11:13, 18 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
