Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Photography

WP:DSPHOTO

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

Keep - This aerial photography firm whose photographer was Cyril Murrell, produced an important series of photographs of England, Scotland and Wales across twenty years of work. Photographic works by Aero Pictorial / Cyril Murrell are held in numerous notable permanent collections. I have improved the article, adding sources and eight notable collections that include Aero's photographs including the New York Public Library^[1]; Canmore National Record of the Historic Environment^[2]; National Collection of Aerial Photography, Historic Environment Scotland^[3]^[4]; University of Cambridge^[5]; Newcastle University^[6]; Amgueddfa Cymru (Museum Wales)^[7]; National Trust Collections^[8]; Surrey History Centre^[9] Netherzone (talk) 02:09, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Netherzone's extensive analysis and the correctness of the analysis. Since these photographs are exhibited in many museum collections they easily meet both GNG and the visual arts criteria for notability. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:28, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
