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

Non notable artist. Primary sourced promotion lacking coverage in independent reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:49, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Artists, Women, and Belarus. Shellwood (talk) 09:37, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
Delete - fails WP:ARTIST No reliable sourcing in the article. I am not finding any RS with a simple Google search. See source table below --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:10, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- Your second link throws no "security warning" for me. If there is a warning for you (you do not say what kind of warning, nor what tools you are using), will be for the archive service, not the cited website, bcdb.com, which is widely cited on Wikipedia.
- The security warning for your 7th site is an expired certificate, and does not preclude its use as a source.
- The nwzonline.de page is archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20160306054146/http://www.nwzonline.de/varel/ausstellung-im-caf-hafenblick_a_1,0,611902600.html - but you simply dismiss it as a "dead link".
- The cavallo.de page is archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20160617055333/http://www.cavallo.de/ausstellung-rotes-pferd.304497.233219.htm - but you dismiss it as "redirecting to home page".
- Why is an "archived defunct directory" discounted?
- Since when did we count exhibition listings at a gallery as primary for the artist?
- The artfontainebleau.net page is archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20120613220257/http://www.artfontainebleau.net/article-31285597.html - but you dismiss it as "404". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:46, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- I guess I should have been more specific when I said the subject fails WP:ARTIST - This artist does not meet WP:NARTIST. She has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, or won significant critical attention, or been represented within the permanent collections of any notable galleries or museums. I use Firefox with AVG Internet security. I am not going to infect my computer researching the dead /stale links and redirects on this article. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 23:33, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
"I am not going to infect my computer researching the dead /stale links and redirects on this article"
- Oddly enough, neither did I; and nor do other editors who use the Wayback Machine. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:54, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: From the above, and from discussion on the article talk page, it seems that the sources are nowhere near as problematic as they have been described. At least nine of the sources (by the nom's own figures) are not primary, and several of those that are (such as gallery exhibition listings, and the membership page of an organisation) are acceptable in the context in which they are used. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:38, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- WP:LOTSOFSOURCES. Just having some non primary source does not pass any policy based notability guidelines. ("At least nine of the sources (by the nom's own figures) are not primary" Please don't tell lies about what I wrote). duffbeerforme (talk) 07:54, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
- No, it is not "LOTSOFSOURCES". I was addressing your unfounded claim of over-reliance on primary sources, and another editor's bogus assessment of the sources. Seems you're done with AGF here as well as the article's talk page. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:50, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
- So you lie about what I wrote and then expect me to assume good faith? All your !vote does is say there is some non primary sources. It didn't say any were good. It didn't say the subject passed any notability guideline. What you've done is criticise other good faith participants, so much for your AGF. My claim of over-reliance on primary sources is very well founded. What non primary source backs up more than minor points in the article? duffbeerforme (talk) 00:53, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

- Delete I can't find any coverage about her or her work, such as reviews of her exhibitions (I tried to search in French and German too). I don't see that she meets either WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST. The sources in the article are fine to confirm that the exhibitions happened, but don't show that others, apart from the galleries mounting the exhibitions, had anything to say about them.
