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:

1. 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.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding ((subst:delsort|Botswana|~~~~)) 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.

Note that 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 links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Botswana.

Stub on a minor badminton player that doesn't meet WP:NBAD and shows no sign of WP:GNG. He has no significant achievements on BWF and his career prize money of $41.25 doesn't give me confidence that Mathumo is a notable professional sportsperson. The best that I can find are passing mentions in CSC and Mmegi and I'm not even convinced that the former source is WP:RS. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 16:02, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Judoka with lots of sources in the article, though most of them contain trivial mentions of the subject or no mention at all. The only thing approaching WP:SIGCOV I found was this, which would not be enough on its own to meet WP:GNG. JTtheOG (talk) 02:23, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Coverage mainly is passing mentions and articles about event participation. He's not even mentioned in some of the references. The International Judo Federation shows him with 6 victories in 33 matches [1] and no medals in 27 events. His 3 appearances at the world championships resulted in no wins, with losses in the rounds of either 64 or 128. His three matches lasted a combined total of less than 3 minutes.

• Delete per @Papaursa. 48JCL 19:41, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Promo/Vanity page for non notable athlete that doesn't meet WP:MANOTE. Also sourcing doesn't pass WP:GNG. Lekkha Moun (talk) 18:01, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
