Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Scouting

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

Hudo (scouting)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No indication of WP:Notability, and not clear that it belongs at en-wiki. Will never be larger than a stub (it's been 15 years; no refs). In-links from Cathole, and Outhouse. The Dutch nl:Hudo (toilet)^[⟶ en] has two refs, one (floep) appears to have been a passing mention in a wordlist (now 404s; no archive), and the other (in Dutch) is an etymological speculation positing Urdu origin for the Dutch word but says nothing about the concept. Maybe transwikify (per WP:NOTDICT) but maybe not at en-wikt, but only at nl:wikt:hudo. Mathglot (talk) 17:20, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The hudo article is a small gem. Deleting everything that isn't a major publication is IMHO a petty action. Definitely the article describes a worthwhile term in Scouting, and as such would be much better served with a recommendation for enhancement or improvement, than a deletion proposal. As such, I vote AGAINST DELETION. Wim van Dorst (talk) 18:04, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I agree with the above, Bduke (talk) 00:33, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
