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.

Park City Film Music Festival

Non notable festival. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. (as noted in prod "article was created by an account whose sole purpose was to create articles to promote a film-maker who won an award at this festival." duffbeerforme (talk) 08:44, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kane County John Doe (1994)

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

Fails WP:VICTIM. This possible murder victim was finally identified 30 years after his body was found, but that's about it. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:24, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Crime, and Utah. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 01:16, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom, crime does not pass WP:NEVENT. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:15, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I haven't yet looked for sourcing on this individual, but would like to suggest that merging to Othram#Unidentified remains cases might be a possibility. This case is not yet included in that article. RebeccaGreen (talk) 16:00, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep I can see why this one is borderline, but there is enough coverage in neutral media for this to merit a keep. On a subjective level, it also just feels like a good article to have on Wikipedia. Darkfrog24 (talk) 11:32, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to a section in Big Water, Utah, the sources in this article are lacking. Scuba 23:10, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:TNT. The entire article is self contradictory. It says that he was unidentified, and then goes on and how he was not identified, which makes no sense. This reads like one of those murder cases, not an encyclopedia article. Ping me if you actually fix this, but underneath is a run of the mill missing person story. Bearian (talk) 01:58, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bearian I think I fixed it, namely by adding a section that clarifies the identification. Scuba 15:00, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thank you. I'm fine with a merge if that's the compromise consensus. Bearian (talk) 17:54, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Holiday Oil

Despite the company's regional presence, it lacks coverage from multiple reliable sources Hopkinkse (talk) 15:33, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep passes WP:N and WP:V. It has reliable coverage as well. [1][2][3][4][5] There are many more secondary, passing mentions of the subject and other sources available. It (the article) definitely needs some work on the references and details. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 22:58, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Notability of this chain is not established. More indepth coverage of the orgnaization would help. Don't think it meets WP:NCORP. Ramos1990 (talk) 22:53, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: One final relist. Can we get some comments based on the sources that have came up and do a source eval, please?

Delete. The sources provided by @HilssaMansen19 are, in order: (1) a transcript of a very promotional-sounding local radio piece (2) the home page of Business Wire, an outlet that disseminates press releases (3) a local news "article" that includes lines like "Join their Loyalty program", "Check out Tank up Tuesday" and "For more information check them out online on their website or Instagram" (4) a press release and (5) a press release. None of those sources contribute towards notability. The two Deseret News sources that are cited in the article are better, but this one relies very heavily on quotes from the owners and therefore fails WP:ORGIND, and this one is a routine local story about some online complaints that fails WP:CORPDEPTH. I didn't find anything else that could contribute towards WP:NCORP. MCE89 (talk) 15:42, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your analysis seems to be right but there are many more mentions in many newspapers and others. What do you say about redirect to List of gas station chains in North America per WP:ATP. I have added it's name there. It has 75 outlets and maybe we can have more content to expand later. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 17:32, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per above analysis, I am cancelling my vote for keep and redirect with merge or keep it for now per WP:ATP to List of gas station chains in North America. I will try to search for some sources and may be if it is notable in future, it can be added. HilssaMansen19 (talk) 17:32, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think List of gas station chains in North America is a suitable redirect target, as its inclusion criteria appears to only include entries that are notable in their own right. MCE89 (talk) 14:20, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
