Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Disability

Shortcuts

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

Disability related deletion discussions

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was soft delete‎. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion.

I'm closing this as a Soft Delete as there is some doubt about this institute's lack of notability. A Soft Delete would allow for restoration should an editor find additional sources that coud help establish notability based on the endowed chairs. Liz ^{Read!

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

Can't find any sources about it, rather than by it or mentioning some person as being from the institute. Only source in the article is the organization's own website. (Note when searching that it used to be the Haas Institute). Rusalkii (talk) 03:36, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Disability, Health and fitness, Organizations, Politics, Sexuality and gender, Education, Religion, Economics, and California. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:32, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Agree I searched directly on the campus newspapers and see a few articles about events hosted by it https://www.dailycal.org/news/campus/uc-berkeley-othering-belonging-institute-hosts-1st-democracy-and-belonging-forum/article_e3cf1670-a9aa-545f-ada3-42a28ebd2e78.html. But that doesn't seem important enough to me Earlsofsandwich (talk) 03:12, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not much secondary coverage of this department beyond UC Berkeley-related sources, doesn't seem to meet GNG criteria. Jordano^5³ 18:59, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I note in the article that there are eight endowed chairs in the seven research clusters making up this institute. The people holding those eight endowed chairs would be notable according to WP:NACADEMIC #5. WP:INHERITORG indicates that the institution would not be notable just because it has eight endowed chairs whose holders would be notable - but where (if) do we have information about endowed chairs? Or are they not considered notable, just the people who hold them? I also note that staff and publications from this institute are quoted in newspaper articles across the US about subjects such as housing, minority populations, and covid deaths. That seems to count for notability for the people, but not the institute. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:37, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Generally speaking endowed chairs themselves aren't notable, just the people, though obviously if any passed GNG then they would be. Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity has a page, for instance. Rusalkii (talk) 19:26, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
