Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Denmark

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

Fails WP:GNG. WhoIsCentreLeft (talk) 19:49, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Science and Denmark. WhoIsCentreLeft (talk) 19:49, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Education-related deletion discussions. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 19:58, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm leaning towards keep just because this is such an old department and has the start of what looks to be a verifiable history - I just can't find it because I don't know any Danish and have to rely on Google Translate to find anything useful. If no one else can find information about it (the other departments also pretty heavily rely on primary sources, though they are in general better sourced) then it would probably be best to merge to University of Copenhagen Faculty of Science.

Subject does not appear to me to be notable, corresponding danish article's only source is a dead database, and never directly linked to a specific page on that database. Gnisacc (talk) 21:12, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Denmark. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:16, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete: The Danish wiki page has enough info, IF it was sourced. Since it doesn't, it fails notability, and I'm for deletion. LastJabberwocky (talk) 21:29, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG for WP:NPOL. There also might be a WP:NOTABILITY issue on the other hand. There is insufficient coverage for this politician, and we don't even know if they're living or not. Editz2341231 (talk) 20:38, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians and Denmark. Shellwood (talk) 21:16, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Clearly passes WP:NPOL as a member of European Parliament. Curbon7 (talk) 21:41, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NPOL says "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability..." Editz2341231 (talk) 23:06, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please read the first bullet point closely: Politicians [...] who have held international [...] office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels (emphasis and ellipses mine). The European Parliament is not a local body (local bodies being municipal/county-level governments, for example), it is an international body. This person is a former MEP ([1]). Curbon7 (talk) 23:14, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Local official" is mayors, city/town councillors, school board trustees, county commissioners and district political party chairs, not members of the European Parliament. Bearcat (talk) 22:35, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, the nomination is wholly imprecise and he meets both NPOL and GNG. Geschichte (talk) 07:39, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, and SNOW close. Members of the European parliament clearly meet WP:NPOL.

TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 16:18, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Does need some improvement, but serving in the European Parliament very much satisfies NPOL #1. Bearcat (talk) 22:35, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
