This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Washington. 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|Washington|~~~~}} 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 Washington. 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 doesn't meet the WP:GNG because of a lack of WP:SIGCOV. Article was previously deleted at AfD and recreated but there is still a lack of quality sourcing available. Let'srun (talk) 15:40, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a grass agronomist, not properly referenced as having a strong claim to passing any inclusion criteria. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist as people with jobs -- the notability isn't in saying that they did stuff, it's in showing that they received WP:GNG-worthy reliable source media coverage about the stuff they did, to establish that it's been externally validated as historically significant by somebody other than his own employers. But this is referenced entirely to primary source content self-published by organizations he was directly affiliated with and/or employed by, and isn't citing a single GNG-worthy source at all.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have much, much better referencing than this. Bearcat (talk) 16:09, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

- Redirect to United States Golf Association I am torn vs keep on this one. Google searching does not give many good sources past this.[1] However WP:TWL has a lot of hits on him. Unfortunately it is either stuff he wrote or a lot of things like this here he is mentioned in passing.[2][3] Overall I think he is an expert in his field. He fails WP:GNG however I could potentially see him being notable as a golf expert like similar to coaching rules under WP:SPORT or potentially as WP:NAUTHOR? I think he is widely cited by peers and he does write about golf. Only I don't know if it is a stretch to apply author criteria here? However, most of this work was done in his capacity at USGA. To me this syas we could add a few sentences about him there and redirect.Czarking0 (talk) 16:29, 26 July 2025 (UTC)
