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

I keep this article updated as I'm a supporter of the parent club, but I do not believe the subject meets WP:GNG and I think it would be better draftified. Raskuly (talk) 03:42, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Oregon, and Utah. Raskuly (talk) 03:42, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify- Still active might get coverage sooner, found [1] Godovereverthing (talk) 16:34, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That is just a transfer announcement from the team which I added to the article myself in March. Raskuly (talk) 23:09, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Giant Snowman 19:21, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. Giant Snowman 19:22, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete—This is beyond WP:TOOSOON, given this player's apparent career trajectory. And the lack of WP:SIGCOV at least six years into his career is damning. Anwegmann (talk) 22:27, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the sources provided and an online search, this is just a run-of-the-mill businessperson. Written by SPA accounts User:Druidess621 and User:Gotkeis. Fails WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 09:12, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Authors and Michigan. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 09:46, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: all of the web references lead to 404s, which is a flag for LLM missuse. This whole thing reads as promotional and to me is a clear case of WP:NOTRESUME. -- D'n'B-📞 -- 11:11, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't think this is AI; I was able to rescue several of the links and this article is from 2017. However the notability issue remains - I don't see any substantial coverage in independent sources, and couldn't find any reviews or scholarly discussion of his book.

AfDs for this article:

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL, had no senior career to speak of, only won a defunct award within the NCAA which is not a free pass - and would fail WP:1E anyways since there is a lack of post-award WP:SUSTAINED coverage. (There is primary source coverage, which does not count for notability, of a charity he works for.) Geschichte (talk) 06:46, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Giant Snowman 08:51, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. NB that NFOOTBALL no longer exists... Giant Snowman 08:54, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Some sources. [2][3][4][5] ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 16:55, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the article as written is a CV, the amateur league award is essentially a WP:1E. The non-soccer sources are routine local stories. SportingFlyer T·C 17:55, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subject appears non-notable. Zero sources found to show notability, Gbooks has nothing. Gsearch only brings up this Wiki page or mirrors, then peters off. No lasting notability found. Oaktree b (talk) 13:32, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Religion-related deletion discussions. Oaktree b (talk) 13:32, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Christianity, and Michigan. Shellwood (talk) 14:17, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am not sure why you say zero sources to show notability as there are sources in the article. I also used WP:TWL to check newspaper archive and there any several mentions of this guy from the 1960s. However, it appears to me to be routine coverage as it is just announcements of his talk in the various towns he saw in his speaking tour. The talk appears to be basically that he went to africa and is going to tell people about it. I don't really think that makes him notable. I say routine coverage as they were not presented as reported stories with by-line but more like guest speaker announcements by the churches he was visiting. I don't really see stuff from the 80s to show that his beliefs were notable outside of the church he practiced in. Czarking0 (talk) 15:27, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The sources in the article don't show notability, they describe a pastor doing church things, that's rather routine. Oaktree b (talk) 15:56, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unfortunately this looks like a bit of a walled garden. That will need some more cleanup. I'm going to see what I can prod. Jahaza (talk) 19:44, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I propose this is merged into the Louton family article. The family biographer, Rollin G. Grams (also a family member), conducted an in-depth study of the family's influence as one of his academic projects, and the book very clearly documents the family's influence as a missionary power bloc in South Africa. However, agree with nom that the subject is not notable independent of his family. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fredthefighter (talk • contribs) 16:18, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I'm not even sure the family is notable. A bunch of non-notable people lumped together doesn't make notability. Oaktree b (talk) 20:02, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to A. G. Louton if that article is kept, as they have a combined notability working together in South Africa, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 21:21, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: See the references already present in the article. Лисан аль-Гаиб (talk) 11:58, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to A. G. Louton without notoriety 200.46.55.111 (talk) 23:12, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: While there's a clear ATD, it's not certain whether A. G. Louton or Louton Family will survive their own deletion discussions. Relisting this so we know whether there's a target, or whether this should be deleted (which it would be as G8 if the redirect is implemented and the target is deleted)

Doesn't meet notability. Refs are one review and music videos. Nswix (talk) 07:52, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Michigan. Nswix (talk) 07:52, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep: putting music videos in reference tags has an unfortunate negative halo effect here. if you're willing to put those aside then: the reference is one single review, which isn't so bad. Here's two more: CoD Courier, RockFreaks.net - that makes THREE. -- D'n'B-📞 -- 08:09, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
CoD Courier is the online newspaper of a minor college; those aren't cosidered reliable source. Under the Gun Review doesn't strike me as a strong source, looks very similar to a blog. RockFreaks.net is an online magazine and it's unknown if it's a reliable source. — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 19:27, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No SIGCOV in RS. No awards or charting. Haven't found more info other than streaming sites, social networks, Youtube, lyrics, etc. — Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 19:28, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete YouTube is not a reliable reference, and has no relevance. 200.46.55.60 (talk) 16:56, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:09, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Not meeting musical notability, very few critical reviews or any signs of a commercial release. This [6] is only a mention of a concert given. Oaktree b (talk) 00:38, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
