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

No indication of importance. I have a degree, I founded a small consultancy, I wrote some articles, I wrote a book. BrigadierG (talk) 10:17, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

KeepComment: I found several personal interviews from established media outlets like Forbes India[1] and GQ[2]. The subject person's business career has also received a certain level of coverage. (See Fortune[3], Forbes[4], and Yahoo! Finance[5]) —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 13:17, 1 July 2024 (UTC)- Q&A type interviews are primary sources, Forbes India and Fortune are sponsored content, Forbes Georgia and Yahoo are press releases so all of those are also primary and not independent. S0091 (talk) 14:18, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Strike my vote first. I do not believe those interviews are primary sources in the first place since it addresses the subject person's company and the trade industry as a whole, so I did not identify them as PS per WP:IV. But I had no idea that the Forbes India interview is sponsored content, and I agree that paid advertorials should be considered non-independent. My rationale was mostly based on the two interviews, but with one deemed non-independent and one with disputed views, I no longer possess a strong rationale to go for keep. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 14:42, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- I conducted another round of searching but did not find any other usable sources. Thanks to S0091 for pointing out that the Forbes and Fortune sources are non-independent paid advertorials, which I had overlooked. A single GQ interview is not sufficient for passing GNG. Changing my !vote to Delete. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 13:50, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: none of the sources contribute to WP:GNG as they are either primary such as press releases or interviews, trivial coverage or not reliable such as the Huff Post which was written by a contributor rather than staff. S0091 (talk) 14:27, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star Mississippi 12:23, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- Keep it pass GNG as Google search shows multiple independent sources with significant coverage.

- Checked the new sources presented by the IP user and added to the article by DXdy FX. Irish Tech News and AI For Developing Countries Forum are not reliable sources. The Business Insider and Yahoo Finance sources are press releases about the subject person's company, not even about the person himself. I can still only see one usable GQ source I have previously founded in this discussion, and do not think it would be sufficient to pass GNG. —Prince of Erebor(The Book of Mazarbul) 14:41, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
