Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Alaska

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

Fails WP:NENTERTAINER, has so far been a participant in a single reality TV franchise, no WP:SIGCOV outside of that. WP:PSEUDO also applies. In the same way that we do not have articles for every participant on other reality shows (Big Brother for example), appearing on this show does not automatically assume notability. --wooden superman 12:47, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:Entertainer. There's a longstanding standard that individuals who have competed on two TV series (even within the same franchise) meet notability criteria. There's no reason to move the goalposts here. Article should be kept and expanded, not deleted. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:21, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is a spin-off season of the same franchise, which clearly does not meet the criteria in WP:NENTERTAINER for "multiple notable television shows". --wooden superman 13:35, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agree to disagree. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:35, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Merely being on a reality show(s) does not indicate an automatic pass of WP:NENTERTAINER. The subject has to demonstrate that their contribution to the show was significant per that language in the SNG guideline. The sourcing here doesn't demonstrate that what Doom did on these reality shows was in fact "significant". Draglicious is an unreliable blog, and routine cast introductions don't indicate notability under this SNG. The Thai magazine article is good, but we need multiple pieces of evidence of this calibre to demonstrate significance. A redirect to The Boulet Brothers' Dragula is possible as an WP:ATD. 4meter4 (talk) 15:44, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: LGBTQ+ studies, Alaska, and California. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:20, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - (1) he came in third place; (2) two reliable sources and several unreliable citations are not enough coverage for a BLP. Ping me if you find and add a better source. Bearian (talk) 02:32, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris ^talk! 08:00, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the main article about the series, I don't see notability otherwise. Appears to have been a minor character on both series, with nothing outside of that to show notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:24, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
