Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Virginia

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

Dear editors, the article subject, Samia Gore, is requesting a soft deletion on English Wikipedia, claiming the content is promotional and inaccurately presented. I would also like to highlight that the notability is somewhat unclear. Thank you in advance for your thoughts on this! SG2025wiki (talk) 18:06, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Easy keep [1], [2], plus the Essence article now used for sourcing. There are many more that come up, showing notability. Keeping the article also promotes gender equality and helps combat gender bias, as a person of colour in the USA. Oaktree b (talk) 20:44, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jack Trammell

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

Non-notable author, professor, and political candidate. He received some national coverage in 2014 because he was the Democratic nominee in the race where Dave Brat primaried out House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, but not very much. The fact that news coverage of him completely dried up after the 2014 race shows he is not a notable person. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 17:05, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating this for deletion. Unnotable and now seemingly inactive fringe band without even an active website. Keystone18 (talk) 22:42, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Virginia. Shellwood (talk) 23:10, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - They do have some minor media coverage, but always as one example among many others of bands that were removed from streaming services or otherwise attracted controversy for their lyrics. In other words, they appear as a bullet point in lists. Their music itself, or their particular lyrics for that matter, never generated any significant and independent coverage that I can find. The band was deleted long ago even when our notability requirements were much more lenient that now. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:58, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. White power music doesn't get coverage in normal journalism for obvious reasons, but the notable ones do tend to get coverage in academic sources, which they do. There is sigcov in Music and Genocide, a Peter Lang book. More here [3] [4] that plus the news coverage is decent. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:53, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also this French book on NSBM [5] from a decent music specialist publisher. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:56, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

+ sigcov in a book from one of the same authors, but not sure if it is the same book just translated? [6] this appears to be from a normal music book publisher. cited a decent amount in academic works [7] PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:01, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable per sources above. Seacactus 13 (talk) 14:33, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Electoral history of Pat Buchanan

- Merge Back in 2009, it looks like this info was pulled out of the main article. Not quite sure why. I agree it's better placed back into the main one. -- Bob drobbs (talk) 03:17, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge is Ok. His campaign – and the votes he received in Florida in 2000 - is arguably the butterfly effect of why we are here in this world today. Bearian (talk) 19:30, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
