Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Economics
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Economics. 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|Economics|~~~~}} 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 Economics. 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.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
For someone with such a long list of research publications, I would have expected a higher citation count than 65. Not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG, and I don't see that they pass WP:NSCHOLAR. Onel5969 TT me 18:41, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. I don't see any possible case for WP:NPROF notability — the subject is a guest professor with just 65 total citations and doesn't have any other research activity as far as I can tell. I also couldn't find any coverage of his business career outside of press releases about his board memberships, so I don't see any case for WP:GNG. MCE89 (talk) 09:38, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I can't see anything in the article that indicates notability. A WP:BEFORE search didn't turn up anything either. BuySomeApples (talk) 04:14, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Seems to be a WP:REDUNDANTFORK of Fifth Estate. Also considered proposing a WP:Merge but the content of this article is poorly sourced and unsuitable for a merge. WP:BEFORE at the very least does not show this to be an independent concept. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 14:08, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: News media, Politics, Economics, and Internet. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 14:08, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: At first I would have voted on merge with Fifth Estate, but since the article does not cite any sources explicitly, we can safely remove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pragmatic Puffin (talk • contribs) 18:11, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Donald Trump's Liberation Day speech (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Speech itself is not notable—hence, not specifically mentioned by any of the sources—and no claim of significance is made here. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 23:57, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- I agree that the speech itself isn't notable, but much of the background/content/reactions relate specifically to today's batch of "reciprocal" tariffs, which may be notable on their own (as both long-anticipated and very significant even independent of the broader tariffs in the second Trump administration, so I wouldn't be opposed to restructuring this article into April 2025 worldwide United States tariffs or Donald Trump "Liberation Day" tariffs or something along those lines as a partial WP:ATD. DecafPotato (talk) 00:23, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- I second this idea. I do think these “liberation day” tariffs are notable on their own that would be useful for its own article. Several economies including the EU are currently planning countermeasures and an eventual global trade war may result. Jmccfip (talk) 06:26, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- I think the best name is according to the other Category:Executive orders of Donald Trump. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 12:53, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- I second this. The convention for all EOs, including Trump EOs with common names like Executive Order 13769 (the "Muslim travel ban"), is by their EO name. The Federal Register just uploaded the EO today and confirmed it will be called Executive Order 14257. satkara❈talk 05:25, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- I think the best name is according to the other Category:Executive orders of Donald Trump. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 12:53, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

- Keep I just did a web search for news on some thing called a liberation day speech and found on the first page NPR, The New York Times, CTV, Mirror UK, and Bloomberg coverage. WP:GHITS is a lazy defense of an article, I admit – almost as lazy as the nomination which didn't even bother to offer a reasonable rationale. ☆ Bri (talk) 00:45, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Strong Keep This speech will be talked about for many years to come. The implications of it will be felt globally. GWA88 (talk) 01:13, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep- This is a significant moment for the world and turning point 182.172.103.25 (talk) 01:23, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politics and United States of America. Shellwood (talk) 01:57, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:TRUMPCRUFT, WP:NOTNEWS, and WP:TOOSOON. None of the sources in the article treat the speech itself as notable; rather, they are discussing its implications for economic policy. Also, this topic is already covered at Tariffs in the second Trump administration. Arguments to keep should focus on why we need a separate article about the speech. Astaire (talk) 02:03, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge with Tariffs in the second Trump administration/Delete. The speech itself is not notable whatsoever, the tariffs are, and we already have an article about the topic. A lot of this article is duplicative too. Reywas92Talk 02:15, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Economics-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 02:32, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Delete – WP:NOTNEWS clearly applies here. As others have also pointed out, the speech itself is not notable, but rather the policy implications. This is reflected in reliable source coverage of the speech. The actual policy implications of the speech are already well-covered at Tariffs in the second Trump administration. WMSR (talk) 03:07, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to Tariffs in the second Trump administration per WP:TRUMPCRUFT. The policy idea is notable and should have a stand-alone page. The speech may not need a stand-alone page. --Enos733 (talk) 04:26, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge with Tariffs in the second Trump administration. This article is not notable and WP:NOTNEWS applies to this article. Wikipedia isn't The New York Times, nor The Times, nor any newspaper or news agency that pops into your head. An editor from Mars (talk) 05:28, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to Tariffs in the second Trump administration. The speech isn't independently notable enough from the policies imo. If the speech individually in the future is recalled more then maybe it can have an article, but for now it doesn't seem notable enough. seefooddiet (talk) 05:45, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Userfy/Draftify This article would likely be useful as a standalone (maybe under a different name) involving these global “Liberation Day” tariffs as several economies (such as the EU) are preparing countermeasures. This would mean a global trade war outside of the trade war against China Jmccfip (talk) 06:09, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- I'm changing my vote to Merge and restructure to Liberation Day tariffs Jmccfip (talk) 02:33, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge While the policies brought forward are indeed notable, the speech alone is not notable on its own. This would be better integrated into the existing tariff article. — Your local Sink Cat (The Sink). 07:34, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Keep and rename: Note that all responses are regarding to the Executive Order and not to the speech itself. Move into the format of the other Category:Executive orders of Donald Trump and so Executive Order 14257. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 12:30, 3 April 2025 (UTC)- Merge and redirect into Executive Order 14257. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 13:14, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and Rename to Liberation Day tariffs or similar. The GNG-passing coverage is primarily about the tariffs rather than the speech. Rename is a bit of an odd !vote for AFD, but this article's content is good and useful and I think it just needs a better article title and a more appropriate scope. –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:38, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Idea for closer: you don't have to pick a title in your close. You can close this as keep and then we can immediately WP:RM after. –Novem Linguae (talk) 19:43, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Liberation Day tariffs wasn't created when I initially placed this AFD !vote. This complicates things. I guess I should change my !vote to Merge to Liberation Day tariffs. –Novem Linguae (talk) 22:47, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- To add to the confusion, today Liberation Day tariffs was moved to something else, then WP:BLARd. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:46, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and Rename per Novem Linguae. My title suggestions would be: a. 2025 Trump Liberation Day Tarriff b. 2025 Trump Tariff -> quite proper if you also compare it with Mckinley Tariff SymphonyWizard72 (talk) 14:43, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and Rename per Novem Linguae. I think we can workshop a better name more in line with the day and the tarrifs announced rather than focusing on the speech, as been noted, but I think the article is notable enough to be its own article. JParksT2023 (talk) 17:06, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Specifically, Rename to Liberation Day tariffs JParksT2023 (talk) 15:15, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge with Tariffs in the second Trump administration given that there is an already existing article which should be covering this topic. If this were renamed to 'liberation day tariffs' (a name that I have separate issue with) it would just be more of a WP:FORK of the umbrella article than it already is. Yeoutie (talk) 17:14, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and rename. This topic is 100% notable, but perhaps a better title should be given. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 17:16, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Move to Executive Order 14257 whenever it's formally listed by the Federal Register. This EO, which was signed at "liberation day", will be about declaring a national emergency which is notable. It can contain other details about "liberation day" too. satkara❈talk 17:57, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- 'Executive Order 14257' is not a descriptive title, per WP:COMMONNAME. It doesn't necessarily explain what the order is. Réunion! 18:41, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Reunion but it's consistent with how other Executive Orders are titled on Wikipedia, like Executive Order 14147. Even Executive Order 13769, often called the "Muslim travel ban", is titled by the EO # satkara❈talk 01:38, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- The notable topic includes the speech and the April 2nd "(Trump's) Liberation Day" framing used by the majority of reliable sources. Executive Order 14257 is insufficiently descriptive of these events, although it should definitely redirect here. Galagora (talk) 22:31, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

- Keep and Rename: Per Novem Linguae, "Liberation Day tariffs" should be the main focus of this certainly notable topic. BOTTO (T•C) 18:03, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- I strongly agree with this, it is still unclear the consequences of this, but it is important to keep the topic separate and focused on the what happened, even “Liberation Day” can be the title of the article, but “Liberation Day Tariffs” is appropriate 2800:860:720C:7FD6:E87A:C17D:DD30:B2A8 (talk) 19:29, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and Rename per above. Senior Captain Thrawn (talk) 18:28, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and rename per Novem Linguae - this article should not be named after the speech, rather the actions that were put into place because of it. If Liberation Day sticks as a name, then we could switch it to Liberation Day tariffs, or Liberation Day tariffs of 2025. Réunion! 18:37, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and Rename: It is a historically important event/day and so should be separate from tariffs in the second Trump administration Vctrbarbieri (talk) 19:12, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and Rename: I agree with Novem Linguae that the tariffs are what's notable here, not the speech. But those tariffs really are separately notable from tariffs in the second Trump administration more broadly. Loki (talk) 19:17, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and rename per Novem Linguae. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 19:44, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and rename. The article should be restructured to be about this tariff wave itself, which is a distinct event of historic importance that is a major escalation beyond everything covered so far in tariffs in the second Trump administration. The speech can just be covered as part of it. AbbotOfLeibowitz (talk) 20:29, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to tariffs in the second Trump administration per the points made by Astaire - 82.17.192.183 (talk) 20:38, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Was having login issues. This is me. - Cheers, Burwellian (Talk) 20:40, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Strong Keep and Soft Rename: This is definitely notable (and will most likely become more notable with time). I wouldn't be against changing the name to be something along the lines of "Donald Trump's Liberation Day Tariffs" and have it be a bit more all encompassingly about this round of tariffs and the speech.

Keep and renameMerge with Liberation Day tariffs per rationale of Novem Linguae.A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 20:39, 3 April 2025 (UTC)- Revising my !vote upon learning of the newly created aforementioned article linked in my comment above. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 22:57, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

- Keep and Rename per Novem Linguae, these tarrifs are a major event on their own, I also feel the content from the existing Liberation Day tariffs article should be merged with this article, as there is no reason to keep them seperate V. L. Mastikosa (talk) 22:43, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

- Keep and Rename per Novem Linguae, the tariffs are notable but not the speech. --Pithon314 (talk) 02:40, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and open an WP:RM discussion. This set of tariffs is sufficiently notable to warrant a stand-alone article. I'm not seeing any consensus as to a particular rename from this discussion and I don't think one will develop in this discussion. Liberation Day tariffs, which is far less developed than this article, should be merged here, not the other way around. voorts (talk/contributions) 02:57, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

- Merge with Liberation Day tariffs per A. Randomdude0000. Windfarmer — talk 04:42, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge with Liberation Day tariffs, but definitely keep more focus on the tariffs themselves in the article, possibly adding more in terms of responses from other countries and maybe some notable domestic criticisms. Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 05:12, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to Liberation Day tariffs. The speech is only notable in the context of the tariffs it presented.Sjö (talk) 06:21, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to Liberation Day tariffs. I found no reason to keep this separate from the tariff page, as the speech is directly linked to the announcement and context of the tariffs. Sethi752 (talk) 14:52, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and rename to Liberation Day tariffs per arguments above. Many editors are !voting for a merge, but the porpose target is itself a redirect. StAnselm (talk) 17:10, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- The target was a separate article until about an hour ago Windfarmer — talk 17:27, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Liberation Day tariffs was renamed Trump Reciprocal Tariff earlier today. Hence the confusion. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 17:33, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and rename to Liberation Day tariffs. These tariffs are obviously notable by themselves compared to the other ones. Personisinsterest (talk) 18:32, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep This is an incredibly important historical event, that should get it's own article. Des Vallee (talk) 18:57, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Rename or delete, this current title is clearly unacceptable for reasons already stated. --Dynamo128 (talk) 22:34, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep, Soft Rename: The speech is notable as it was broadcast live by multiple outlets such as Forbes. RedDeadGuy (talk) 00:39, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- WP:NOTNEWS Bedivere (talk) 04:32, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Liberation Day tariffs as mentioned above was never an actual article. A new user just copied and pasted Tariffs in the second Trump administration#"Reciprocal tariff" policy to a WP:DUPLICATE page without following proper WP:SPLIT procedures. Per my !vote above, the article should be merged to that section to reduce redundancy; if split later, it should be done correctly. Reywas92Talk 01:09, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge with Tariffs in the second Trump administration. I am aware of WP:NTRUMP. However, I think that these may be important enough to warrant inclusion, especially given the multipage list of countries, but the precedent I see is that this is part of Trump's series of tariffs. There may be a collapsible list or simply the images if the list makes the article too long, but I think a condensed version merged with the general page on the tariffs may be easier to understand. Kaito-san (talk/contribs) 03:01, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment If the page ends up being merged (consensus does not suggest deletion) the images and table here should be added to the new article, or at least placed on another MediaWiki wiki. RedDeadGuy (talk) 05:57, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

- Merge with Tariffs in the second Trump administration; the speech is pertinent to that topic but not notable on its own. 2601:44:180:98B0:F962:863D:20D6:DE27 (talk) 10:57, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep or MergeThe Orange Fart announced the wave of tarrifs that would probably cause the 2nd Great Depression. We need to either keep this article or merge it with Tarrifs in the secont Trump administration, at least for posterity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a02:2f0f:910d:d100:bd5c:2a06:ef39:e524 (talk • contribs)

- Your comment is not based in Wikipedia policy and will likely be ignored by the closer. –Novem Linguae (talk) 18:11, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge with Tariffs in the second Trump administration for sure. Its notable but should be tied together with that article to be appropriate. Brenae wafato (talk) 21:50, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and rename to Liberation Day tariffs. I think this article should definitely not be merged into Tariffs in the second Trump administration because the April 2nd tariffs are a clear independently notable event. Since his inauguration Trump has threatened or imposed other tariffs and will likely do so in the future, but April 2nd will stand out as a notable day in history and Wikipedia should reflect that as the overwhelming majority of reliable sources do. Galagora (talk) 22:23, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Rename to Liberation Day tariffs. Important escalation of Trump's protectionist policies and will definitely be the subject of sustained coverage considering their global impact. -insert valid name here- (talk) 23:27, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - Let me make it clear, that overall, my point is that this article should be kept. I am fine with supporting name change to Liberation Day tariffs or 2025 US Liberation Day Tariffs. Shankargb (talk) 23:57, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per the above arguments. ~ HAL333 04:55, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Strong keepas its own article given this speech’s notability as the starting point of the 2025 stock market crash. Casspedia (talk) 14:21, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge to main Tariffs in the second Trump administration. The topic is not the performance, but the policy - this is politics not reality TV. "Liberation Day" title is non-neutral, creating WP:CFORK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Widefox (talk • contribs)
- Note to closer: per User:Reywas92 above, apparently this is literally a SPLIT not following procedure, and when I checked it has no attribution at creation. Widefox; talk 14:28, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge with Tariffs in the second Trump administration. The speech is detail to the clearly notable subject of the tariffs, but lacks independent notability. The term "liberation day" is unlikely to be any longer lasting than "American fools day" and is political spin and not neutral. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 17:12, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- I mean no, the announcement is what led to the current finical crisis, and if it were to me merged things such as the table and reactions would need to be heavily removed, or just completely removed to stop word overflow. The event is an important day in history, similar to say the Speech to the Troops at Tilbury. Des Vallee (talk) 22:59, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Merge with Tariffs in the second Trump administration. See WP:TRUMPCRUFT, WP:NOTNEWS, and WP:TOOSOON. Perhaps in the future it will become notable enough for an article, but that future is certainly not right now.Easternsahara (talk) 22:39, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per the above arguments. Thegreatrebellion (talk) 07:48, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Strong keep, news networks in my country barely cover anything about Trump's tariff plans prior to “Donald Trump's Liberation Day speech”. So I think this warrants its own article, like how 2025 Bangkok skyscraper collapse didn't get merged into 2025 Myanmar Earthquake. 🐲Jothefiredragon🔥talk🧨contributions✨log🐉 07:51, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Strong Keep In what way is this not notable? The speech was announcing a major policy change in the US. Article provides key points. Widespread reactions are also noted in the article -- which in itself proves notability --AnotherWeatherEditor (talk) 14:30, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Keep but Rename to Donald Trump April 2 Tariffs or anything along those lines. The article should focus on the tariffs, not the speech that announced them. The text of the article already does this; the speech subsection is a small part of the article, and the article body is already about the tariffs as it should be. I'd also personally like to avoid calling it "liberation day" in wikivoice (still a notable enough name that it should be included in the article, but several editors have raised concerns that this is a non-neutral title). Keep "liberation day tariffs" as a redirect & make the current title redirect to the speech subsection. Vanilla Wizard 💙 14:49, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Move to either "Executive Order 14257" or some variation of April 2025 United States tariffs. Calling it "Liberation Day" or anything of the sort in the article title sounds highly sensationalist and fails neutrality. Frank(has DemoCracy DeprivaTion) 19:34, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
