Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Paraguay

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

Paraguay

Miss Grand Asunción

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

Articles related to Miss Grand International appear to be a massive WP:PROMO and Wikipedia:Spam#Advertisements_masquerading_as_articles operation. This is one of them, and there are many others. The problem pattern, described below, applies to most of the articles related to Miss Grand International.

Many claims are unreferenced and cannot be corroborated by google searches. Unreferenced claims to not belong on Wikipedia, but problems go beyond that. The unreferenced claims indicate that people associated with the event (the ones who know the event from inside) are actually creating the articles. Covert promotion. Furthermore, many references DO NOT support the statements they purport to support. Oftentimes, the claim on Wikipedia is not featured in the reference in any form. There are many single-purpose accounts and that single purpose is to create promo articles related to Miss Grand International. Some, like User: InternationalPageant, are already banned. Permanently banned. Others aren’t and continue their Wikipedia:Spam#Advertisements_masquerading_as_articles operation.

These articles chip at the quality and reliability of Wikipedia itself. WP:TNT should be the response. University of The Purple Unicorn (talk) 18:43, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is a discussion alleging that I have a conflict of interest with the pageant Here. However, I believe that any conclusion regarding this deletion request, as well as other articles I have created that were nominated by him/her, should be based on the sources I provide in each proposed article, not on such an allegation.

Weak keep. This is part of a series of sloppy nominations made by University of The Purple Unicorn. Several of the claims made in the opening statement are not applicable to this article. For example, this article uses inline citations throughout, so the claim that there are unsourced statements isn't true. I was also unable to find any false citations in this article as claimed by the nominator in what appears to be a copy pasted nomination used in many nominations and done without thought or care for each individual article nominated. The article also contains no promotional next (ie zero peacock words, no puffery statements, etc.) so WP:PROMO doesn't appear applicable. Given that the nominator has not engaged at all with WP:SIGCOV or WP:ORGCRIT, and has not obviously even looked at the materials in this particular article (or they would have modified their opening nomination) I am voting keep. We shouldn't be encouraging article nominations done en masse that aren't done with due diligence (ie doing a WP:BEFORE, accurately summarizing the state of the article in the nomination, etc).4meter4 (talk) 02:25, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
