Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Lithuania

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

Still unsourced after 7 years. Dicklyon (talk) 05:31, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Doesn't qualify for WP:MUSIC as the only readily available sources discussing this band are from the band. RandFreeman (talk) 08:21, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Very Weak Keep: A small search yielded at least one source not from the band confirming their signing with Sony Music Entertainment Finland. I'm imagining that, an in depth search would probably give more results that aren't directly sourced by the subjects, given the recent albums, and signing and releases with a major music producer, there will probably be increased notability in the coming months, and likely more sources. I would say give it a few months and revisit this to see if there are any changes. If it's been there for seven years, an additional six months doesn't seem like a big deal for me.

The Lithuanian Wikipedia article has seven references. Have those been considered and examined? Left guide (talk) 18:40, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I added text and references from the corresponding Lithuanian and Italian articles. I think they clearly establish notability. For a band in a non-English-speaking country, WP:BEFORE includes looking at the Wikipedia in the band's language. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 08:42, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per WP:HEY as the article has been significantly improved since nomination including the addition of many new references such as from 15 min which confirm hit records and seven national awards M.A.M.A. awards, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:19, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lithuanian exonyms

Perhaps should be moved to Lithuanian WP as I don’t see how it is notable on enwiki Chidgk1 (talk) 12:51, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Wikipedia is not a lithuanian dictionary — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikedelis (talk • contribs) 16:59, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - this meets the notability requirements of WP:NLIST.

Also, there is ample precedent for this type of article; we have 63 of these articles per Category:Lists of exonyms.--A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 19:46, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. An attempt to delete all of them, in March 2024, was rejected as too sweeping (some of them, e.g. Chinese exonyms and Arabic exonyms, are less WP:DICT than others). —Tamfang (talk) 19:15, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources ... Is that it? Are Lithuanian exonyms, in contrast to exonyms-in-general, discussed collectively by independent reliable sources? Does "discussion" mean more than recognition of a well-defined (though trivial) set? —Tamfang (talk) 02:32, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - Per policy, deleting this is absolutely appropriate, but why bother? There's no way for it to be promotional or COI, and it isn't misinformation. The way I see it, someone took the time to make this page because they thought it could be useful to someone, and it could be. Why get rid of that? Ike Lek (talk) 01:24, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I struggle to follow the logic in saying that, according to policy, deletion is absolutely appropriate - the corollary to which is that the article should not exist - but then say (paraphrasing) someone took the time to make it, and it could be useful, so why get rid of it? Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Weirdguyz (talk) 17:02, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
