Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Utah

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

Subject fails to meet the WP:GNG because of a lack of significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. The best I could find was [[1]] but it is a WP:YOUNGATH failure. Let'srun (talk) 04:00, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football, California, Montana, Tennessee, and Utah. Let'srun (talk) 04:00, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – 14 appearances in USL League One and no independent sources. Svartner (talk) 04:05, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Fails WP:NFOOTY and WP:SIRS, so fails WP:GNG. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:10, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
NFOOTY doesn't exist anymore, and you should say that this article lacks the required SIRS to meet GNG only. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 06:39, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It exists as advice. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:04, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It should absolutely not be used as advice or guidance. It is only there as a historical reference, and should not be used to guide discussion in XfD at all. Per the notice on WP:NFOOTY: "The player section of this notability guidance has been superseded by WP:Notability (sports), and is included below for information only as a record of the previous guidance that the Footy project came up with." nf utvol (talk) 13:27, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Giant Snowman 18:13, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. Giant Snowman 18:17, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete—Clear failure of WP:GNG. Anwegmann (talk) 19:48, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Not nearly enough coverage to establish notability through WP:GNG, WP:NSPORTS, or WP:NBIO. nf utvol (talk) 19:38, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keith N. Hamilton

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

Fails WP:NBIO and WP:CLERGY (note that the role of bishop in the LDS church closer to that of a Catholic Priest or a Methodist Minister, serving a only a local congregation, than to that of, e.g., a Catholic bishop, which is presumed notable). Sources consist of two articles mentioning Hamilton joining and leaving the Utah Parole board and his current employer's website. Jbt89 (talk) 18:31, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes GNG. [2][3][4] ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 21:45, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Authors, Law, Military, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Virginia. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 22:23, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The Government of Utah has a 22-member Cabinet, which is as large as any cabinet can get before it becomes too large to function. I'm not sure if we have a consensus about whether cabinet members are automatically notable per WP:NPOL. As a Mormon bishop, he only leads a single congregation, so that's run of the mill. Bearian (talk) 04:48, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not going to vote. A late law client was a former Public Service Commissioner for the State of Utah. This might create a difficult precedent and, potentially, a conflict of interest. His name is being withheld due to confidentiality. Bearian (talk) 20:03, 1 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - [1] ticks all the boxes, but I don't think [2] is independent - they advertise his book at the bottom of the article (and the news site shares a parent company with the publisher). I think [3] - even though it's ultimately somewhat routine political coverage - provides enough detail to be considered significant. I also found some more sources in newspapers.com, I'm adding them to the article now. I think this passes GNG. Zzz plant (talk) 00:51, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
