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.

The text does not show WP:SIGCOV: all sources are either very directly affiliated, or mention the subject in passing, or both. WP:DRAFTification was attempted, but the article was returned in pretty much the same shape. My own search did not yield anything significant either. Викидим (talk) 03:25, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Organizations, Scouting, and Pennsylvania. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:37, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Hyperlocal scouting subgroup, not independently covered. Any relevant content without members' fluff belongs at Chester County Council. Reywas92^Talk 13:49, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article lacks significant independent coverage from reliable, third-party sources, and the lodge seems to have limited recognition or impact beyond its local context. There are insufficient reliable sources to establish the subject's notability by Wikipedia's criteria for organizations or clubs.--Xrimonciam (talk) 10:21, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
