Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Golf

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Golf. 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:

1. 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.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Golf|~~~~}} 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 Golf. 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 Sports.

• Keep If this list isn't notable, then Lists of sports video games and everything in it are not notable either and should likely have all been bundled together. However, I believe it does pass NLIST as sports video games are a notable subject. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:31, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep WP:LISTN can be met, even if it's not currently shown in the article. Did you do WP:BEFORE? Here are a few reliable sources covering the group: [1], [2], [3] (Well, sports, to zxcvbnm's point, but related), [4] (SI comparing different golf video games), [5] (A situational, but here it is), [6] (More group coverage), [7], [8], [9] ... and so on. -- ferret (talk) 14:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep Valid navigational list. Category:Golf video games exist, and list are more useful than categories, more information able to be shown. We need to make the list guideline more obvious since this keeps coming up for years now. Dream Focus 17:08, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep, but damn does it ever need some serious cleanup. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 20:35, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep: The sources provided above show that the topic of this list is widely-covered by reliable sources as a group or set in both the golf world and the video game world, satisfying WP:NLIST criteria. Left guide (talk) 21:25, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep per Ferret's sources. The list is not very well sourced at the moment, but the article as a whole meets the WP:NLIST criteria. Conyo14 (talk) 22:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
• Keep Most of the article includes notable games. There could be some chances for doing a small cleanup. Dympies (talk) 02:40, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

Keep The article is properly sourced, and it does meet WP:NLIST. I see no reason for deletion. MKsLifeInANutshell (talk) 05:53, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

This vote is a little suspect, @MKsLifeInANutshell. Pretty much ever !Keep agrees the article is not properly sourced. Did you actually look? We're headed to a keep regardless but you need to be doing a proper evaluation before !voting. -- ferret (talk) 13:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

• Keep - the whole premise of this nomination puzzles me. The claim is that it fails NLIST. NLIST would generally be satisfied when reliable sources discuss a similar grouping of subjects. Do you mean to tell me that your belief is that publications have never written any articles about the incredibly common subject of golf video games. I get the concern when editors write these bizarre lists like "Platform games featuring animals and time travel", but why would one think a common sports video games wouldn't have coverage out there?
