Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Scotland

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

No WP:SIGCOV found to demonstrate notability for WP:ANYBIO or WP:JOURNALIST. Article was previously moved per WP:DRAFTIFY back in March 2025, but was moved back to mainspace with insufficient sourcing, which do not establish that the BLP meets notability criteria.

del per WP:SIGCOV. The "SWPL Manager of the Year" is an "in-house" distinction of doubtful notability effect. --Altenmann >talk 18:23, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – Fails in WP:GNG. Svartner (talk) 18:41, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep were any searches for sources done? I found several. BBC, Edinburgh Reporter, Edinburgh Reporter 2, BBC 2, BBC 3, BBC 4, Edinburgh News, Glaswgow World, Sky Sports Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 19:39, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- were any searches for sources done? Yes - Q back: were any evaluations of sources done? . The the first two of yours are about "SWPL Manager of the Year" and no in-depth coverage beyond "how great a coach he is", i.e. IMHO no SIGCOV. --Altenmann >talk 20:36, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  I did a search before nominating and came to the same conclusion. Se7enNationArmy2024 (talk) 22:07, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Giant Snowman 18:13, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources above which (just about) show notability. Giant Snowman 18:17, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 18:14, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Hibernian W.F.C. (team he manages). Not really notable on his own. Not enough for a stand alone article. Ramos1990 (talk) 04:37, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - @Svartner:, See above. Clearly significant figure in Scottish womens football with sources. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 23:01, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Hibernian W.F.C. per Ramos1990 as not notable and GNG is not met. This is a suitable WP:ATD. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:08, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep provided sources shows GNG. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 11:35, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sources must be independent reliable secondary sources with significant coverage of the subject to meet GNG. Which ones do? Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 12:13, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. Sources above are Scott's own commentary on his team, passing announcements about his SWPL nom, and other transactional-type announcements. No IRS SIGCOV. JoelleJay (talk) 21:13, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I also want to note my opposition to any merge of nontrivial content. JoelleJay (talk) 17:20, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
