Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Texas

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

I could not find WP:SIGCOV to establish WP:GNG. Restani also does not appear to be active in the sport anymore. Raskuly (talk) 14:33, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The best I could find that might suggest WP:SIGCOV is this article from the Port City Daily, but I do not believe this means he meets WP:GNG requirements. As such, I propose a redirect to All-time FC Dallas roster as he made a single appearance with the team. Raskuly (talk) 01:16, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Andrew Fastow and/or Miriam Hadar Weingarten, with likely redirect to her husband. Pretty clearly fails WP:BLP1E and WP:BLPCRIME. guninvalid (talk) 16:32, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This seems like it could be a WP:NACADEMIC pass based on the subject's achievements. Some of the sources do look good. Definitely needs cleanup, though. MediaKyle (talk) 17:46, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I could not find WP:SIGCOV from independent sources to establish WP:GNG, although he did have a single season in the second tier of American soccer with 30 appearances, which suggests there could be sources that I was unable to locate. Raskuly (talk) 10:44, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see nothing but press releases: not a notable outfit by our standards. Drmies (talk) 16:45, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies, Technology, and Texas. jolielover♥talk 17:18, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The only SIGCOV I could find was about a different company in Scotland with an almost identical name (FutureX).4meter4 (talk) 17:19, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I believe there is SIGCOV of this company, specifically with some of their partnerships with AWS (article here ) and Verifone (article here), and some coverage of their contributions to preparing for PQC as covered by CIO Inc..

The page just needs to go under copy revamp, adding more than just their personal press releases, such as the links I added here. Fxsbenne (talk) 14:22, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not seeing any sourcing in that group that would pass WP:ORGCRIT. AWS is a paid platform and lacks independence. The Security Info Watch piece on Verifone is based entirely on a press release and interview without any independent analysis or critique. The first CIO source is better but not sufficiently in-depth to indicate notability. The second CIO link is a generic webpage. 4meter4 (talk) 11:42, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also just for the record I am a a newbie to wiki editing! I do work for Futurex, and wanted to make some changes to bolster the page to make it compliant with the notability standards and to improve/update the information. Fxsbenne (talk) 19:18, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I went through and updated the whole page, adding new sections such as their awards received and contributions to cryptography with CryptoHub and VirtuCrypt, as well as participation in reputable tech conferences RSAC and GITEX. I also added more pages their partners have created referencing Futurex's involvement with them. Fxsbenne (talk) 18:56, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Apologies for being a newbie to this process, first AfD contribution. This page has been updated by the company to include 35+ SIGCOV links from external sources. I work for the company and would very much appreciate, and like to keep this improved version as Wikipedia is commonly searched by our customers and cited by search engines and Ai tools when people are searching for our company. We have significantly revised the content to be current, tried to avoid any over-promotional language, and cited capabilities, rankings, reviews, and awards from 3rd party articles and independent analysts. Please let us know if there are any corrections or revisions needed in order to be able to keep the page. MKrutikov (talk) 19:10, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Primarily relies on and unreliable sources and lacks significant coverage from independent publications. The awards mentioned appear to be non-notable or promotional awards. Ninjastic Ninja (talk) 08:36, 2 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Patriots and Tyrants

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

Fails GNG, the only bits of coverage I found was this, an interview with TV Guide and not independent, and this, an IGN review which I have no problems with. Possible ATD is List of Jericho episodes Olliefant (she/her) 00:10, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Science fiction and fantasy, Television, Texas, and Wyoming. Olliefant (she/her) 00:10, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Passes WP:GNG. There is an entire chapter devoted to this episode in Bussolini, Jeffrey. "Jericho, Patriots and Tyrants". In Bianculli, David; Howard, Douglas L. (eds.).

Could you provide some quotes or a link to better assess the coverage? Olliefant (she/her) 03:46, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect all the eps to List of Jericho episodes. ←Metallurgist (talk) 23:52, 29 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why? The sources clearly demonstrate WP:SIGCOV. An episode with an entire book chapter devoted to it, and several other non-trivial coverage in books passes our notability guidelines.4meter4 (talk) 04:41, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Evah Destruction

AfDs for this article:

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

Fails WP:NENTERTAINER, has so far been a participant in a single reality TV franchise, no WP:SIGCOV outside of that. WP:PSEUDO also applies. In the same way that we do not have articles for every participant on other reality shows (Big Brother for example), appearing on this show does not automatically assume notability. --wooden superman 12:42, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Television-related deletion discussions. --wooden superman 12:42, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:Entertainer. There's a longstanding standard that individuals who have competed on two TV series (even within the same franchise) meet notability criteria. There's no reason to move the goalposts here. Article should be kept and expanded, not deleted. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:07, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is a spin-off season of the same franchise, which clearly does not meet the criteria in WP:NENTERTAINER for "multiple notable television shows". --wooden superman 13:12, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Agree to disagree. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 13:13, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per WP:Entertainer, for the same reasons Another Believer stated. Cornmazes (talk) 14:34, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per WP:Entertainer, for the same reasons Another Believer stated.Naraht (talk) 15:32, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. Merely being on a reality show(s) does not indicate an automatic pass of WP:NENTERTAINER. The subject has to demonstrate that their contribution to the show was significant per that language in the SNG guideline. The sourcing here doesn't demonstrate that what Evah Destruction did on these reality shows was in fact "significant". Further many of the sources used are unreliable publications like interviews. A redirect to The Boulet Brothers' Dragula is a plausible WP:ATD.4meter4 (talk) 15:59, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: LGBTQ+ studies, Georgia (U.S. state), and Texas. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:26, 27 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - not all are the best sourcing, but there's significant coverage. She is well known in the LGBTQ community, from Cherry Grove, New York to Atlanta. Bearian (talk) 02:20, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Terrifying picture, but as user:Bearian said. Notable with WP:SIGCOV apparently. Iljhgtn (talk) 04:22, 30 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
