Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Iowa

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

Iowa

2020 Great Duck Pileup

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Delete per WP:NOT § NEWS. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of news material. Many events receive coverage in the news and yet are not of historic or lasting importance. And there is no WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, as evidenced by the dates of the sources used in the article. Events that are only covered in sources published during or immediately after an event, without further analysis or discussion, are likely not suitable for an encyclopedia article.

Delete: I only get hits on multiple Duck Boat accidents, nothing about this particular event. Interesting piece of trivia, nothing for notability though. There is no lasting coverage, only some from the time of the event. Oaktree b (talk) 13:37, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Animal and Iowa. Shellwood (talk) 13:40, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete An almost platonic example of WP:NOTNEWS. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:43, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not News, no lasting importance. LightlySeared (talk) 20:44, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails to meet the WP:GNG because of a lack of WP:SIGCOV. PROD was previously removed so bringing this to AfD. Let'srun (talk) 18:45, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football, Iowa, Nevada, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. Let'srun (talk) 18:45, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Giant Snowman 12:12, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. Giant Snowman 12:14, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, non-notable football player. Surayeproject3 (talk) 12:46, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

John Deere 430C

Declined at WP:AFC here Draft:John Deere 430 Crawler recreated in main space, using AI poorly sourced non notable product. Theroadislong (talk) 17:18, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Products, Technology, and Iowa. Theroadislong (talk) 17:18, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: There are sufficient failures of WP:V, a key tenet of Wikipedia, that make this wholly unsuitable to be an article. There is no point in sending it to Draft, an essentially similar draft exists already. I cannot see what makes this pass WP:GNG either. The tone can be edited, but the promotional wording hurts the senses. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 17:58, 11 July 2025 (UTC) [Struck delete !vote, but not my oponion. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 19:38, 11 July 2025 (UTC)][reply]
Per @Mangoe redirect, and merge a few words into John Deere Model M#John_Deere_430 where a picture of the crawler version exists. This is a pragmatic solution. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 19:35, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My error. The picture if of a 420. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 21:11, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
redirect to John Deere Model M#John_Deere_430 where this crawler variant could be mentioned. Mangoe (talk) 18:47, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as above. I agree, I don't believe this article even gets to a notability issue because it is both a failure of WP:V and WP:NOTSTATS. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 19:50, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, to the point of WP:N, I want to get it down that WP:TRADES says "there is a presumption against the use of coverage in trade magazines to establish notability." Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 16:47, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
