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

[edit]- Anton Petrov (science communicator) (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)
No indication of notability. Having an asteroid named after him isn't necessarily notable, and there's no indication that subject warrants a standalone article. Fails WP:NJOURNALIST. CycloneYoris talk! 10:10, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Astronomy, Mathematics, and Canada. CycloneYoris talk! 10:10, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Journalism, and Internet. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 10:40, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep WPGNG Andh Namazi (talk) 11:01, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete I came here hoping desperately I could keep, because science communication matters. But the article is supported by only two sources, an imdb and an asteroid database. Google doesn't find anything that's not self-generated, but actually finds a lot of other Anton Petrovs in science, which makes things confusing. Even worse, the imdb site has two Anton Petrov's, one with the biography, but the other one[1] linked to the TV series on cosmology. This is probably just a mess-up of duplicate entries, but we can't really have articles based on (1) a single autobiography (self-published) - with no independent referencing - where (2) there's an element of doubt about who the article's about anyway. And the research paper doesn't help because it was a master's thesis, which is a routine part of an education, not peer-reviewed literature. Elemimele (talk) 11:57, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete One of many people with an online presence, but without sufficient references about them. Stepwise Continuous Dysfunction (talk) 22:40, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. Compare Sabrina Cruz. Bearian (talk) 00:21, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, per nom and also comments above. A clear case. Ldm1954 (talk) 12:38, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete per nom and above comments. Surayeproject3 (talk) 17:35, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
- WP:TOOSOON. I've been watching his channel lately, he is informative (and charming in the way he mumbles). But an article will have to wait until he catches on. Abductive (reasoning) 10:11, 4 July 2025 (UTC)
