Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Poetry

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

Doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG. Article relies mostly on primary sources. No significant coverage in independent, reliable media. A few mentions here and there, but nothing in-depth or sustained. Can't see anything that clearly establishes notability. Junbeesh (talk) 14:12, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People and India. Junbeesh (talk) 14:12, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete sources I can access do not show significant coverage. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 14:16, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: In addition to being an WP:AUTOBIO (see disclosure), there's no evidence of passing WP:GNG, WP:NBIO. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:27, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Artists, Authors, Poetry, Advertising, and Maharashtra. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:36, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Promotional piece of article. The subject of this page does not meet notability standards WP:NBIO and WP:GNG. AndySailz (talk) 23:35, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Language problems may be why I can’t identify sources, but I’ve never before seen an article with entries in multiple language Wikipedias none of which are sourced, and I also note a number of self-published books. Doug Weller talk 18:10, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article should definitely not have been created directly in mainspace in this condition; it's completely unsourced, and I can't find any third-party sources on Google either. Needs to be either deleted or moved to draft where the creator can work on it. Bishonen | tålk 21:16, 28 May 2025 (UTC).[reply]

IIRC there is at least one institute for the preservation or recovery of the Asturian language. It may be worth looking there for support. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 11:57, 29 May 2025 (UTC).[reply]

Nothing to establish notability—citations appear to be non-notable news websites. M.A.Spinn (talk) 22:41, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Authors, Poetry, Medicine, and Egypt. M.A.Spinn (talk) 22:41, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment it looks to me like the author is probably notable, but that the transliteration of his name, also spelled "Sherif Meleka" and other ways! is giving us issues. His novel Suleiman's Ring is reviewed I think here[1](I don't have access), here[2](last page) and here[3]. --Jahaza (talk) 23:21, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully someone can search in Arabic? The Yale University library, among other places seem to be collecting his books[4].Jahaza (talk) 23:48, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The first point re: the reception of his novel seems worth a double check. Given that Yale has 14.9 million volumes in its holdings however I do not think that is sufficient to establish notability. M.A.Spinn (talk) 23:51, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article cites no sources, and I was not able to find any on search. It's entirely possible they exist in Lebanese (though I note there's no article on any other language of wiki), but it doesn't seem appropriate for mainspace in its current state. It's already been draftified once and so isn't eligible. — Moriwen (talk) 19:00, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians, Journalism, Philosophy, Poetry, and Lebanon. — Moriwen (talk) 19:00, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Gbooks, Scholar, Jstor and Gsearch all come up with nothing. Gbooks has books about computer culture, which isn't about this fellow. I don't see any sourcing, at all. Oaktree b (talk) 19:57, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The BNF Gallica has nothing [5]... if he was notable, I'd expect something in French about him. Oaktree b (talk) 19:59, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
