Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Animal

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

A third article about an organisation lead by the same person and written by the same editor, and with the same issues. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/African Ornamental Breeders Association and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nutrecul Agroforestry Project for the other two. This one is basically unsourced (neither source mentions the organisation) and I can't find any reliable sources which give significant attention to this one either.

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Animal, Organizations, and Democratic Republic of the Congo. Fram (talk) 17:05, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Hard to even confirm this group exists, with nothing in Gscholar, Books or Jstor. [1] is about all I can see that even mentions them, barely a mention even in this source. No sourcing to speak of. Oaktree b (talk) 19:40, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

African Ornamental Breeders Association

It exists, but it lacks notability, and claims like "more than 200,000 members" are unverifiable. Very few sources even mention it[2], most of them not independent or not reliable (other wikis and so on). Their website[3] has only had a few thousand visitors (bottom of page), their organisations like the "AOBA National Evaluation Shows" and "AOBA International Championships"[4] are not mentioned anywhere[5][6]. This has all the characteristics of a one-man organisation trying to lure sponsors for the website and people willing to buy their imported poultry. It has no actual importance at all it seems.
