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

Unclear why the creator moved this back to mainspace with zero improvement after being draftified at the previous AFD. Fails WP:NEVENT with no WP:LASTING coverage of routine meteor sighting. Reywas92Talk 04:03, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

- Keep because there has been some scientific analysis subsequent to the fall that has been reported in reliable sources. I've added a couple of sources to the article. If kept, the article probably should be moved to McDonough meteorite to harmonise with similar articles (cf. Winchcombe meteorite, Charlottetown meteorite.

- Keep. I nominated the article for deletion last time because there were only sources from the day it happened, but now there are sources that have more depth as well. Now that there is some scientific information about the meteor, it is actually notable. I do agree the article should be renamed per above. — Rtrb (talk) (contribs) 03:02, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Per WP:NOTNEWS, WP:NEVENT and WP:ROTM, this runway excursion event did not result in a fatality, hull loss or serious injury. No significant new coverage either. I see no reason to believe this will have a lasting impact. --Prothe1st (leave me a message)-- 19:37, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

- But still, this was the first major accident in 2026, no fatalities but causes injuries, not a fatal accident but a hull lose, not written off but a damaged aircraft. ATR-72 hull loses are statistically rare. Jahndah (talk) 10:20, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
- boom. You said it. The only reason some want to keep this is because it was the first "major" mishap of 2026. Just because it occurred on the flip of a calendar doesn't make it worthwhile for an encyclopedia. Relton66 (talk) 10:23, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
- Where does it say it was a hull loss? I couldn't find that in any of the sources. This sort of accident often results in the aircraft being repaired and returned to service. nf utvol (talk) 16:54, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

- Okay, I messed up the bold message Private User Edgeworth (talk) 00:52, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
- Weak keep as although there was no fatalities and runway excursions are common, the accident caused multiple injuries, received international coverage, was the first major accident this year, and was a hull loss. Bloxzge 025 (talk) 01:54, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

- Delete not notable whatsoever. Seeing no sources declaring a write off, but even if it was, doesn't guarantee notability. No deaths, no lasting impact, little to no international coverage. Injuries are not a good argument when people die every week from small plane crashes, and no one argues notability for them. Just because it occurred on the flip of a calendar page, doesn't mean it's notable. That's the only argument I'm seeing here. Also FYI runway overruns occur relatively frequently, so... relton66 (talk) 10:30, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

- Some of your articles are not really notable ether like flightline flight 101 Grffffff (talk) 17:01, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
- This is also not run of the mill. Most runway excursions have no damage done. The last time a atr had a runway excursion like this was in 2024. Grffffff (talk) 17:15, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
- So you just admitted this isn't notable. Okay. No reason to dive into someone else's article history. Comparing this to Flightline 101 is laughable. 101 was a plane crash in the ocean killing 10. This is a trivial mishap. Also, doesn't matter if it was an ATR, runway overruns are relatively common. Relton66 (talk) 19:35, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

- Delete. Basically a run of the mill runway overrun YokohamaVibez (talk) 19:45, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete WP:ROTM and WP:NOTNEWS, just because it appears on news outlets and had some few injuries, that doesn’t necessarily make it notable. Protoeus (talk) 20:08, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep Whilst a weak keep, For me this is in a similar boat for Korean Air Flight 631 (which I believe also had a discussion to see if it was noteworthy). Both were runway overruns and no deaths occurred but there were injuries and the aircraft is damaged beyond repair: The area underneath the nose is destroyed as per videos on FL360aero and Planespotters.net lists 9N-AMF as written off on their site. A write off for me meets the criteria on WP:AIRCRASH. Whilst not covered extensively by the big news sites, there have been several news articles in India as well as on MSN.com. MKY661 (talk) 20:35, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
- That's what I'm thinking! Both are runway overruns and causes injuries, This Hull lose Has a aircraft damaged and injured people. ATR-72 runway overruns aren't extremely common but also happen with notable frequencys, they weren't standard but a known risk, Not all ATR-72 incidents/hull loses aren't notable. Right now, i'd would still say Keep. Jahndah (talk) 22:17, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
- WP:AIRCRASH says “ By consensus this should not be used to determine whether a stand-alone article should exist or not.”, so the fact that it meets WP:AIRCRASH standards, it doesn’t mean it’s notable per se, and its notability should be discussed separately.

Fails WP:NOTMEMORIAL / WP:BIO1E / WP:VICTIM. Subject, a construction worker, is only notable for their death.

- Comment the previous consensus to delete was based on a demonstration that the article content was unreliable and largely a rewording of information about a different battle. I presume an admin has declined a speedy delete request on the current argon th3 grounds that it is substantially differed from the deleted article? Was the deleted article refunded for further work? Mccapra (talk) 07:38, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
- Comment I see no reason to delete it, as it doesn't violate any of Wikipedia's policies. It's clear there are ideological and "Pan Arabist" reasons for deleting the article.
- Afshar131 (talk) 09:55, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
- The old article was SYNTH at best and a hoax at worst. If this new article is closely based on the last one then it absolutely does violate Wikipedia policies. That’s why I am asking if there was a refund and if an admin who can see the deleted article can share a view on any similarities. Mccapra (talk) 10:28, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
- As far as I remember, the first article was different from this one and had different sources; the first article has now been deleted. Afshar131 (talk) 12:02, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
- Keep. The article is entirely valid. The battle is mentioned by all medievalists, including Idris Roger Hedy, Louis Massignon [1], Jacques Thiry [2], and Rachid Bourouiba [3], "Les Cahiers de Tunisie" [4]... ~2026-48403 (talk) 10:44, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete: The battle section was fully cited by an outdated sources. I really don't know how translated works of Ibn al-Athir and Ibn Khaldun are supposed to be a secondary reliable source. R3YBOl (🌲) 12:15, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete or redirect. I have now reviewed all the sources in the current article and unfortunately it reproduces all the problems of the earlier article. There was a battle in 1160 but most sources simply mention it in passing (including several not cited currently). Of most concern to me is the use of reliable independent sources in this article for largely decorative purposes, i.e. to give readers the impression that the battle is discussed in depth by many recognised sources when that isn’t the case. My analysis of the current sources is:
- Does not mention the battle and does not support the statement made in the article text.
- One passing mention of the battle. Does not support the statement made in the article text.
- The entire “background” and “battle” sections of this article are a direct but unattributed translation from source 3.
- One passing mention of the battle.
- Says pretty much the same as source 3, just translating the original French source into German.
- I’d have to pay £224 to access this online so didn’t but in any case it is a work of literary criticism dealing with the Sirat Bani Hilal and can’t be used as a source to establish the notability of the battle.
- One passing mention.
No sources I can see claim that the battle lasted ten days, as is stated in the lead para. That appears to be an invention.
The battle is not discussed in depth in multiple RIS so should be deleted unless a suitable redirect target is agreed. This could be Banu Hillal or Abd al-Mu'min, though neither currently mentions this battle. Mccapra (talk) 14:50, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

An article focused on an upcoming anniversary for the Pokemon series. The only coverage of this announcement is lacking, as so far no plans have been detailed, and thus the only coverage is just consisting of Pokemon-related topics that happen to be happening in 2026. The actual content on the 30th anniversary itself is non-existent and fails notability. The coverage for supporting an article about this just doesn't exist yet, and we can't tell if it will in the future or not without guessing per WP:CRYSTAL. Currently fails standalone notability as it stands. Magneton Considerer: Pokelego999 (Talk) (Contribs) 02:26, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

- Draftifying doesn't imply notability, it implies a notable article is hypothetically possible someday. As much as I don't believe these sorts of articles are necessary, there is precedent for them existing. Year of Luigi comes to mind, for example. So draftifying is technically plausible.

- Draftify I draftified this when it was a single-source stub. I still think WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTAL apply here; there's not really anything that's been announced or in-depth coverage other than a teaser. Whilst they were free to do so, the article creator really could have benefited from submitting a redraft in AFC for oversight instead of moving it back on the same day and proceeding to tinker away at a potentially non-notable article. I will say that as this is about an event known to be occuring and evolving over the next twelve months, draftification could be appropriate here in circumstances where it might usually be not.

This inordinately long article extensively documents an event which lasted less than a week, with no documented injuries or fatalities.

- Redirect per nom. WP:NOTNEWS is overused here, but this is quite exemplary of the kind of minutiae that should not be written this way in an encyclopedia, with little historical significance of precisely what happened when. Richmond region water issues#January 2025 water crisis is an excerpt but a merge of what's needed is an easy fix. Reywas92Talk 01:48, 2 January 2026 (UTC)
- Holy cow, there's also Impacts and response to the January 2025 Richmond water crisis and Aftermath and investigations of the January 2025 Richmond water crisis with an insane amount of detail, and Richmond region water issues#May 2025 boil-water advisory has similar issues with every little action taken down to the minute.

- Keep A mid-air collision is not at all a run-of-the-mill incident; almost every mid air collision in history is notable by its very nature and excessive rarity. WP:EVENTCRIT #4 does not apply here as a mid-air collision is not a regular accident. Also does not fail WP:GNG and is very much unlikely to fail the WP:10YEARTEST. I find it very difficult to believe this incident is so far less notable than the other articles in Category:Mid-air collisions involving helicopters as to not deserve an article. Electricmemory (talk) 00:34, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
- Articles on mid-air collisions involving helicopters have previously been deleted. See: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1993 Camp Ripley mid-air collision; Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2025 Eura mid-air collision; and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1965 Fort Benning Mid-Air Helicopter Collision. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 23:06, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
- Per this comment in September 2022: "
Actually the ref I noted above tabulated 43 mid-air collisions in the US over a five year period, which is an average of 8.6 per year. So yes, a fairly common event.
" Aviationwikiflight (talk) 23:23, 1 January 2026 (UTC)- I forgot that I nominated the Camp Ripley article. I've since focused on available coverage, and this accident has quite a bit. Maybe it will die down soon, but it would feel wrong to support deleting an article that has received coverage (a significant amount in the case of ABC, among others). 11WB (talk) 06:24, 2 January 2026 (UTC)
- There is substantial initial coverage for this accident:
- ABC, BBC News, Sky News, KRCG, Hindustan Times. There are many, many more in Google search results. This has been covered all over the world and is clearly notable. The article just needs expanding. Keep. 11WB (talk) 04:46, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:GNG and WP:EVENTCRIT – Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, none of the sources were secondary since none of them contained analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the event itself. All sources simply narrate the event without providing anything beyond that. WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that routine kinds of news events including most accidents – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance, which this event lacks. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 21:53, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
- See reply above from 11WB. Several such sources exist, they just need to be added. Electricmemory (talk) 13:49, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:EVENTCRIT#4 in particular: almost all accidents receive news coverage and this one is no different, but the accident and the coverage are both relatively routine. There seems to be minimal likelihood of WP:INDEPTH or WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE beyond the initial news cycle, nor WP:LASTING effects.

While taking a better research about this so called "uprising" i didn't found any reliable source or coverage mentioning it. While Judah does mention how uprising started after Adem Jashari was killed, it is actually talking about war and not just one event.

- Leaning towards delete because I'm not sure about the value of a page that just regurgitates for the most part already existing articles. It would be one thing if it was a properly written narrative based on reliable sources that discuss events occurring during this phase, but it's just selective cherry-picking, copy-paste summaries and OR about what to include and what dates qualify as part of the offensive. About some of the sources: Radio Kosova e Lirë is POV as it treats the KLA extremely positively and even fawns over them. kosovosensecentar is a collection of press releases BUT the cited page 22 is a communiqué from the KLA ("UCK Communique Reports Successes in 'Extensive Fighting") in May 1998 and therefore not independent nor reliable. --Griboski (talk) 21:05, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

- Delete per WP:GNG and WP:EVENTCRIT – Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, none of the sources were secondary since none of them contained analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the event itself. All sources simply narrate the event without providing anything beyond that. I also can't find any coverage on the accident beyond the initial "breaking news" reports. WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that routine kinds of news events including most accidents – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance, which this event lacks. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:16, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

- General WP:AV consensus with general aviation accidents is that news articles within 2-4 weeks don't count as WP:CONTINUED coverage unless there are unusual circumstances (e.g., a mid-air collision, independently Wikinotable people, or multiple ground fatalities), and everything in the articles you provided is WP:ROUTINE. My Spanish is rusty, but all those articles appear to say is "Here's some facts about the deceased, who aren't particularly notable for any reason other than the circumstances of their unfortunate demise.

In addition, Hans Lausch has published at least two journal articles about the competition [20] [21] (one linked above).

This article is redundant. I don't think this "sideshow-incident" has enough information or sources to justify its existence. Main information is in United Airlines Flight 175 anyway.

Redirect to United Airlines Flight 175#Near misses per WP:PAGEDECIDE. Even if the sources identified by Aviationwikiflight are enough for the article to pass WP:GNG, this topic is better covered as part of a larger article and does not merit a standalone page.--DesiMoore (talk) 15:55, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
- Draftify this article is about two weeks old, it's not really ready for mainspace source-wise, but there are sources that have been identified above which means that it might pass GNG if properly sourced. We should add a mention to the redirect target regardless. SportingFlyer T·C 06:50, 3 January 2026 (UTC)
- Redirect or, less preferred, Draftify. Redirect would preserve the history and allow for future incubation, but it is well covered in the UA175 article. This event is only notable because of its interaction with UA175, and it makes sense to keep the information consolidated in the primary article. I see this as similar to midair collision articles...you don't have separate articles for each flight, you have a single article for the incident (which, in this case, is the hijacking of flight UA175).

User:Bluethricecreamman (Talk·Contribs) 03:35, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
- Delete As with the comments above, I can't find any reliable and secondary sources discussing this conference or the OOPSLA conference. I am a bit confused by the statement above saying "frequently cited" works establish notability for the conference itself, that doesn't change the fact that there are no secondary sources. Everything I have seen is published by the conference or it's parent organization ACM, and everything on both the OOPSLA and SPLASH pages are primary. Ajheindel (talk) 04:30, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
- You evidently did not look very hard. I found multiple sources that discuss OOPSLA. These sources are secondary (not affiliated with OOPSLA), reliable (from academics), and discuss the subject in-depth (more than a trivial mention):
- Frachtenberg, Eitan (2022). "Research artifacts and citations in computer systems papers" [23]:
A few of these conferences, such as MobiCom and SLE, specifically encouraged artifacts in their call-for-papers or websites. Four conferences—SC, OOPSLA, PLDI, and SLE—archived their artifacts in the ACM’s digital library. In addition to general encouragement and archival, six conferences specifically offered to evaluate artifacts by a technical committee: OOPSLA, PACT, PLDI, PPoPP, SC, and SLE. ... Looking at the differences across conferences, Fig. 1 shows the percentage of papers with artifacts per conference, ranging from 0% for ISCA, IGSC, and HCW to OOPSLA’s 78.79% (mean: 27.22%, SD: 19.32%). Unsurprisingly, nearly all of the conferences where artifacts were evaluated are prominent in their relatively high artifact rates. ... Observe, however, that some of the conferences that encourage or require artifacts are not as competitive as the others. For example, OOPSLA, with the highest artifact rate, had an acceptance rate of 0.3, and SLE, with the fourth-highest artifact rate, had an acceptance rate of 0.42. The implication here is that it may not suffice for a conference to actively encourage artifacts for it to be competitive, but a conference that already is competitive may also attract more artifacts.
- Mercorio, Fabio, Mario Mezzanzanica, and Dario Malchiodi (2022). "Which Conference Is That? A Case Study in Computer Science" [24]
In the following, we provide a few examples of the contents of the different lists, also highlighting some common issues arising in the linking process.
Example 1: OOPSLA. The conference title in the DBLP authority file is "ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Object-Oriented Programming Systems, Languages, and Applications" and its DBLP key is oopsla. We notice, however, that the same DBLP key is associated with 11 other satellites events. Moreover, the same conference has a slightly different name in other authority files. For instance, in GII-GRIN-SCIE, OOPSLA appears as "ACM Conference on Object Oriented Programming Systems Languages and Applications."
The DBLP conference edition list contains 96 items with key oopsla. Out of them, only 31 correspond to the main conference, the others being satellites events, whose number increased especially in the last few years. Titles associated with different OOPSLA editions can be rather different within the list. For instance:- The 1994 edition appears in the list as OOPSLA'94, Proceedings of the Ninth Annual Conference on Object-Oriented Programming Systems, Languages, and Applications, Portland, Oregon, USA, October 23-27, 1994. Most notably, the acronym, followed by an abbreviation of the year, appears at the beginning, sponsors are not specified, the ordinal number of the conference edition is written in letters, the conference location appears before the date.
- The 2009 edition appears in the list as Proceedings of the 24th Annual ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and Applications, OOPSLA 2009, October 25-29, 2009, Orlando, Florida, USA. In this case the ordinal number of the edition is provided using digits followed by suffix "th", the acronym is in the middle, the sponsor is provided, the conference location appears after the date.
- The 2015 edition appears in the list as Proceedings of the 2015 ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages, and Applications, OOPSLA 2015, part of SPLASH 2015, Pittsburgh, PA, USA, October 25-30, 2015. In this case, the edition is not given through an ordinal number but is specified by its year, sponsors are provided, the acronym is in the middle, and the name of a larger event that OOPSLA is part of is also given.
- At worst, we could merge to OOPSLA, as we might not need separate articles about OOPSLA and SPLASH. However, wholesale deletion seems completely inappropriate. HyperAccelerated (talk) 00:44, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
- Delete – Per lack of independent coverage. Svartner (talk) 16:52, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 01:36, 23 December 2025 (UTC) - Merge per Kelob. Even though there is coverage, it is rather minor and nothing that can't be summarized within the context of that article. Thus, I argue that it fails WP:OWNPAGE, notwithstanding the BLP nature of the topic and very limited enduring coverage. WP:NEVENT also requires some analysis of the event itself, not just descriptions. Perhaps there are more articles in Finnish (or even Swedish), in fact this is very likely, but I don't think that those would provide any analysis either due to the minor nature of the event. Deletion is not warranted because of WP:ATD User:Easternsahara 03:23, 23 December 2025 (UTC)
- Comment - if kept, it should certainly be renamed to 'Vähäjärvi school stabbing', as the anglicized version without Ä does not occur in any of the sources referenced in the article. This kind of anglicization is of no benefit when it's not even used by reliable sources, and as a case in point, when typing this comment I was distracted by the title and mistyped it as 'Vahajärvi' (wax river) instead of 'Vähäjärvi' (little river). I will wait until the completion of the AfD before moving though. Stockhausenfan (talk) 18:16, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

This article is unreferenced. From a Google search, I found no usable secondary sources about it. (Note: I found a number of Perl-related articles with these same notability issues. Because their subjects are still distinct and they were created by different editors, I chose not to WP:BUNDLE.) WikiFouf (talk) 04:02, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

- So, The Python Conference page is also unreferenced? Instead of erasing the historical memory of tens of thousands of people who attended those events (I myself attended a couple), what needs to be done is to improve the article so that it has the same quality as the Python Conference page and those for other programming languages. The fact that there are no references to it on Google doesn't mean that there weren't numerous Perl fan pages recounting their experiences from those days. In fact, it's still being held. The last one was this year, in June. There are 125 articles that link to this page. And versions in three languages (Spanish, French, and Dutch). JoaquinFerrero (talk) 20:30, 15 December 2025 (UTC)
- I found a nice reference on The Perl Foundation's official website, which recounts the first 25 years. It explains how the conferences organized by the O'Reilly company (The O'Reilly Pearl Conference in 1997) would evolve into the OSCON conference, and later into the YAPC.

We also support other collaborative events such as Perl workshops and hackathons." [25]
- We don't know the editorial standards of TPF, but even if we did, this doesn't appear to be an independent source. A foundation supporting the conference would be more than willing to publish a piece singing praises about said conference. It doesn't meet the standard for WP: GNG on multiple counts.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 08:36, 23 December 2025 (UTC)- There’s a full (photo) book about the Perl communities. Photos were taken at OSCON conferences. The book was edited in 2008.
- It may qualify as a secondary source, as the author can be considered « indépendant » from the Perl community itself.
- The photos can be seen on Flickr too. Smonff (talk) 07:31, 25 December 2025 (UTC)
- Keep - I found several more sources in books and old computing journals on archive.org and added these with some more facts. I also reorganized the article a bit. I think there are enough sources to justify keeping this article. It is referenced in multiple independent sources from the early 2000s as the second-most important Perl conference and as the grassroots, low cost conference. This would explain why it's not visible in the ACM Digital Library - it wasn't academic and it was for people without lots of money. That kind of event is often less visible in the historical record, not because they're less important but because there is less money in PR and documentation. The frequently mentions (each at least a paragraph specifically about the conference series, some have more) are evidence that the conferences were significant. In addition to the many paragraphs saying this is an important conference if you'r interested in Perl, there is a 3/4 page review of the 2001 Amsterdam conference in the Dutch Linux Magazine. There was probably more coverage at the time that is difficult to find digitally today. Lijil (talk) 09:39, 23 December 2025 (UTC)
- weak keep: more than enough coverage in Gscholar to show it exists [26], [27]. Article needs a rewrite, as it's more of a list of events, but has been going on for over 20 yrs now with coverage in books and various articles. Oaktree b (talk) 14:10, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Aaron Liu (talk) 20:15, 26 December 2025 (UTC)Since then, Perl Mongers [a user group brian d foy summarizes the history of] organized, as loosely as possible, a community. The Pittsburgh Perl Mongers put on the first Yet Another Perl Conference, from which Kevin Lenzo started Yet Another Society, which turned into The Perl Foundation. Now the Perl user groups are the worker bees of YAPC (and without any work for me!).
- That seems like a trivial mention to me, unless there's additional context that you've omitted. In the absence of any additional information, I'm going to say that neither of these sources cover the subject at sufficient depth. HyperAccelerated (talk) 21:02, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
- It's available from Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library. You should meet the relevant prerequisites for access and be able to search the title of the article from TWL's EBSCOHost.

Keep. The Locations section should probably be removed and converted to Wikidata entries like d:Q483279#P706. Aaron Liu (talk) 20:27, 26 December 2025 (UTC)- After thinking about it some more, all of the contents could be comfortably merged as a subsection of Perl#Community.

Does not meet WP:GNG and most of the details in the article are from indiscernible source. The references are 1) Pageantopolis, determined not reliable at RSN, and 2) a Peruvian newspaper with a list of names of the winners of this contest for some year span, but none of the other details in the article.
I have bundled the following articles because they have exactly the same two sources and the same problems with GNG.

- Keep. ALL.
- per WP:NLIST:
There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y") or what other criteria may justify the notability of stand-alone lists, although non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations are touched upon in Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not § Wikipedia is not a directory. Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability.
- No one can in good faith deny the obvious informational merit (list of placements etc) of the article or its navigation purpose (chronology being the most obvious, interwiki another).
- & per WP: SPLITLIST
Lists, tables, and other material that is already in summary form may not be appropriate for reducing or summarizing further by the summary style method. If there is no "natural" way to split or reduce a long list or table, it may be best to leave it intact, and a decision made to either keep it embedded in the main article or split it off into a stand-alone page.
- At least if size is no issue, a redirect and merge into Miss Peru should be performed. (and the nominator knows this perfectly, as one will see below).
- But I will note that coverage exists.... for example, for the 2 individual years I checked rapidly and to which I added a couple of refs.... for 1952 (the first year...!) -one can also add https://larepublica.pe/espectaculos/famosos/2023/01/11/ada-gabriela-bueno-bottger-quien-fue-la-primera-miss-peru-de-la-historia-miss-universo-evat .... and for 1957... ... well, the ceremony for year 1957 is PARTICULARLY notable for having allowed for the time in history a Latin American woman to win the Miss Universe contest that year....(https://www.britishpathe.com/asset/207589/).
- I will also note that the nominator, despite a 2020 Afd (same nominator....) closed as Keep, has boldly redirected the year 1953 to Miss Peru..... on Dec. 5 this year. Why ask for community input if it’s not to respect the outcome decided? -~2025-42255-38 (talk) 01:15, 23 December 2025 (UTC)
- Please assume good faith. There are good reasons to request deletion, one of which being assessing community value of these articles as created. So far I've gotten either little pushback on the redirects, or mixed messages on a previous bundled deletion, potentially on technical grounds concerning the bundling procedure. The other deletion debate you linked was 3 in favor of delete (including myself as nominator), 2 expressed as
Keep
, and 1Procedural Keep
which is the technical one that did not discuss the merits of the articles. And guess what: one of the 'keep' votes was actually supporting the Procedural Keep. So strictly speaking, there was only one "clean" Keep vote. ☆ Bri (talk) 18:57, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

This article has very little information about the game itself, but plenty of information about Mr. Beast and the halftime show, which are not WP:NOTABLE in regards to the game. Assadzadeh (talk) 17:26, 8 December 2025 (UTC)

- Delete - I agree with @Assadzadeh. Really nothing notable about what happened in the game, along with the fact that we don't make individual articles just because it was an international game. If anything, all of this Mr. Beast stuff really should just be stripped down and put into a couple sentences in Mr. Beast's own Wikipedia article. Red0ctober22 (talk) 17:55, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Delete run-of-the-mill regular season game which happened to be played in a foreign land (as is the case for several games each year). The few sentences of content regarding MrBeast can be placed in his article if not already included. Frank Anchor 18:58, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Adding that I oppose a redirect. “2025 Kansas City Chiefs–Los Angeles Chargers game” is a highly unlikely search term that can also refer to the two teams’ December 14 game in Kansas City. Frank Anchor 03:00, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
- I also oppose a redirect to the Chargers-Chiefs rivalry page. This title is a game, not the rivalry as a whole. Redirecting could create an unnecessary and highly wasteful precedent. Frank Anchor 02:30, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
- I would presume that if such a redirect were made, it would be a section redirect to Chargers–Chiefs rivalry#2020s, which already describes this specific game (and no other game matching this title), making it entirely in conformance with redirect policy. BD2412 T 04:04, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
- Weak keep in my opinion, the fact that it was an international game, the second ever to be played in Brazil, and the first ever to be completely free to watch. Chorchapu (talk | edits) 19:17, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: There's substantial media coverage not just of the game itself (who won/lost), but also of its import as an expansion of the NFL to Brazil. A cursory search turns up examples including the Los Angeles Times, The Athletic, ESPN, the AP, NBA, and The Kansas City Star. As Assadzadeh and Red0ctober22 rightly point out, what happened in the game isn't particularly noteworthy, and is little discussed in the article. But while I agree that more of the action could be added, focusing on the action misses the point: The notability of this game isn't what happened during the four quarters of play, but in how the NFL chose to arrange and promote the match-up as part of an attempt to expand its global reach. Indeed, this wasn't any old mid-season game, or even a team's season opener, but the opening game of the entire NFL season; the NFL was focusing on more than just a face-off between two high-profile teams. --Usernameunique (talk) 19:56, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Well for one, the NFL already played a game in Brazil last year, and two, this was the second game of the entire season; the Eagles/Cowboys game the night before was the actual season opener. Red0ctober22 (talk) 20:01, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for the correction, Red0ctober22. But the point stands, as a closer look shows that the last two decades of tradition holds that the very first game of the season, the NFL Kickoff, is hosted by the reigning Super Bowl champion. The game in Brazil was thus the second game overall, but the first that could be played while still following the traditional structure. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:39, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. I don't know why I, as merely the AFC approver, was noticed of this on my talk page, when User:HoodedBeast09 was the first major contributor to the article with an account, but redirecting to NFL International Series would not adequately reflect the fact that this was the first NFL regular season game to be broadcast live on YouTube as a media outlet. This game is highly notable as an NFL marketing exercise in ways that do not neatly fit into any other single article. BD2412 T 01:06, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
- Does the fact that it was the first game on YouTube really make it notable? Because then you could argue we need an article for the first game Fox ever broadcast in 1994, the first game ever broadcast by Netflix last year on Christmas, etc. Red0ctober22 (talk) 02:49, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
- I would consider it notable not for the specific provider, but for the medium. This is like being the first game ever broadcast on television, or broadcast in color, or on a cable channel. I would think, media coverage permitting, we should have articles on all of those milestones. I think that this being the second-ever game played in South America is also a point of notability, as is the viral Mr. Beast promotion. BD2412 T 03:06, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
- BD2412 You approved this article for mainspace based on the following novel aspects — which I don't agree with:
- being played in Brazil — as this was not the first game played in Brazil or South America, nor the only international game played this year, as there were six others, in itself doesn't make it notable.
- first NFL game broadcast on YouTube — I agree with Red0ctober22 100%. Could you tell me the articles for the first games broadcast on these other medium?
- having a viral MrBeast promo — Why is this notable?
- Assadzadeh (talk) 03:29, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
- I approved the article based on the breadth of coverage of multiple aspects of the event in reliable sources, which need not be dependent on the specific notability of any single one of those aspects. As for previous medium-entering games, the absence of articles on these does not demonstrate that articles should not exist. The first such game is notable enough to be reported on fifty years after the fact. BD2412 T 04:24, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

- Keep. Yes, I agree with BD2412. This is a significant game and would be hard to note all of this in a small list in the note section on a Wikipedia page. I believe that there is a lot tied to this game, especially being the first game on YouTube, and the whole viral thing with MrBeast. Even though it's another international game, I believe that it has enough meat in the article along with several reliable sources that it should count as it's own page. HoodedBeast 21:02, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: I'm not convinced that this passes WP:NEVENT. Most of the coverage is WP:MILL and does not establish why it is more notable than any other regular season NFL games. Content on MrBeast's involvement can be covered at his own article. I don't support a redirect either as this is not a likely search term on its own. MidnightMayhem (talk) 20:57, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. I'm not exactly sure what’s so important to justify this article. The article's name implies that it’s about the game, but instead it focuses on other things not related to it. Being the first game broadcast on YouTube isn’t particularly significant, as games nowadays get streamed all the time, but we don’t have articles about those (Heck, I even see some games streamed on TikTok!). And I really don’t understand the whole Mr. Beast viral thing. Nobody's talking about that anymore, so can you really call it viral if it was talked about for only a week?

- Comment Merging with or redirecting to NFL International Series#Brazil are not the correct options, because that article is mostly a summary of the games played in the series rather than the notability of a single game. Redirecting to Chargers–Chiefs rivalry is a better option, since the fact that it was streamed exclusively for free on YouTube (one of the reasons why this article was approved in the first place) is already mentioned in the rivalry article. Assadzadeh (talk) 07:08, 24 December 2025 (UTC)
- Nothing to stop us from putting in that statement into the summary. Conyo14 (talk) 07:27, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

- Would support this merge/redirect too. Solves the problem of the two matchups between the teams in the season, as both are in the rivalry, but only one was notable. Hyperbolick (talk) 09:18, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

- Delete MrBeast cruft? I looked for similar articles figuring there might be one somewhere about any of the stupid overseas games, and couldnt find one. Simply not notable to have a run of the mill game like this, despite some of the uniqueness to it. ← Metallurgist (talk) 19:46, 27 December 2025 (UTC)
- @Metallurgist: This is an WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNOTEXIST argument. We absolutely should have articles on some of those games, beginning with the 2007 Miami Dolphins–New York Giants game at Wembley Stadium in London, the first ever NFL game played outside North America.

- Considering that there isn't an article about the 2007 Miami Dolphins–New York Giants game tells me that it wasn't notable enough for an editor to take the time to create it. Assadzadeh (talk) 20:34, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
- That's a nonsense argument. Wikipedia is missing tons of clearly notable subjects. I routinely create articles on missing U.S. state supreme court chief justices, which no editor has taken the time to create. If that were a valid argument, we would never create any new articles about past persons or events, because they must not be notable due to not having previously been created.

- WP:EVENTCRITERIA specifically states "A rule of thumb for creating a Wikipedia article is whether the event is of lasting, historical significance, and the scope of reporting (national or global reporting is preferred)." Consideng that there is no longer any coverage about this game or the 2007 game, I would say that they are both not notable. Assadzadeh (talk) 03:54, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

- Merge all the information into either Chargers-Chiefs rivalry or MrBeast - it’s notable but not needed in its own article. (Also, can someone explain why all the rivalry articles are semi protected? Seems unnecessary.)Chargers2025 (talk) 16:22, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

- Your question about the rivalry articles was answered here. Assadzadeh (talk) 18:04, 30 December 2025 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I see a consensus against the existence of a standalone article, but no agreement as to a merge target, and considerable support for outright deletion. Should we preserve any content, and if so where should it go?
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Vanamonde93 (talk) 19:19, 31 December 2025 (UTC)- If any content is to be preserved, it could be added to Chargers–Chiefs rivalry. Assadzadeh (talk) 20:31, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
- I mean same with NFL International Series. Perhaps we can pull off the band aid, place a blurb or a sentence in both places and then just proceed with a delete. It feels as if consensus is headed that way. Conyo14 (talk) 21:52, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
- In my opinion, if it's added to NFL International Series, it will just get lost in the History section. Assadzadeh (talk) 22:01, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

- Delete: Subject fails to meet the WP:NEVENT and, as others have already noted, this appears to be mainly WP:CRUFT as it pertains to MrBeast. I also don't see anything worth merging because the relevant team season articles already include the most pertinent information. Let'srun (talk) 17:33, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
- Note there is no sources and almost no content at the section in Chargers-Chiefs rivalry, thus more information should be merged if a merge is the agreed outcome.~2026-34519 (talk) 16:42, 2 January 2026 (UTC)
- You don't need to wait for this discussion to end to add missing sources there. BD2412 T 17:45, 2 January 2026 (UTC)
