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

The result was Keep and move to Urban flight.. No point in a Merge as Urban flight is a Redirect page with no content but a link. Liz Read! Talk! 17:19, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Hard to tell if this is correct as it has been uncited for over a decade Chidgk1 (talk) 17:25, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Behavioural science and Geography. Chidgk1 (talk) 17:25, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
- AfD is not cleanup. The article has no proper citations, true, but discusses two analyses in named published works and has two "Further reading" sources, so it's clearly notable and probably secretly sourced, just not how we like it.Urban flight redirects to this article, which is backwards. Keep and move to Urban flight over redirect. Folly Mox (talk) 20:17, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
- Ah yes you are right I had not noticed the urban flight redirect. This seems a good solution as even I have heard of urban flight so that must be a more common name Chidgk1 (talk) 12:55, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- By the way White flight has over 100 cites but not sure how that fits in Chidgk1 (talk) 12:58, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Hey man im josh (talk) 17:33, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
- Move to Urban flight per above. Clearly a notable and much-discussed topic in the news and scholarly sources. The article is quite bad, but AfD is not cleanup, and this does not raise to the level of WP:TNT imo. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 17:39, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
- Merge with Urban flight: No reason for WP:TNT. Nagol0929 (talk) 19:01, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
