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

Stub article on early 20th century motorcyclist who has no WP:SIGCOV beyond brief mentions in a handful of newspaper articles from the 1910s. Fails WP:GNG. MidnightMayhem 01:43, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Cycling, and Washington. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 02:03, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Doesn't seem to have been well-covered in the press, I've tried Gnewspapers above and the LOC newspapers, and there isn't much/anything about this person. Oaktree b (talk) 23:11, 24 March 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to Indian Powerplus#Promotion and development. I can't find much more about Walter Steinhart - digitised newspapers provide information that he was the manager of the Cycle Supply company in Spokane, and rode from Spokane to Seattle on an Indian motorbike in just over 10 hours in 1921. Neither adds to notability, and there's not really SIGCOV, either. I think the info that, in 1917, Steinhart, on an Indian motorcycle, was the first motorcyclist to reach the summit of Snoqualmie Pass and won a race twice around Lake Washington, could be added to the Indian Powerplus article, with sources - the brand he rode is named in contemporary reports of the events.

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Is there more support for a Merge?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 01:55, 31 March 2025 (UTC) - Merge to Indian Powerplus#Promotion and development. There is still some salvageable content from the article. If not, Redirect to said article. WiinterU 02:46, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to Indian Powerplus#Promotion and development per RebeccaGreen; I was also able to find this article [1] about a race that the subject participated in. Additionally, a mention about him being the first person to reach the top of Snoqualmie Pass via motorcycle in the mountain's article seems relevant, in my opinion.
