This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Rhode Island. 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:
  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|Rhode Island|~~~~)) 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 Rhode Island.
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.

Armenian Church Youth Organization of America

It exists , but I couldn't find evidence of meeting WP:OG / WP:GNG. I considered a merge/redirect to Armenian Americans as the only real WP:ATD, but wasn't convinced this was appropriate in that article. Boleyn (talk) 14:56, 17 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Non-notable congressional candidate. I fail to see how she passes WP:GNG or WP:NPOL given that most of the articles cited on this page are minor blogs or routine coverage of her campaign announcement from local news outlets. The only national-level articles cited here are the ones from Voice of America and the Washington Post, both of which only have 1 sentence mentioning Kaul.

Keep: Candidate is notable beyond the United States. She has gotten major notability from several outlets in India and Pakistan - both English speaking countries and bona fide users of Wikipedia in English, as she stands to be the first individual of Kashmiri origin to serve in the United States Congress. This fact alone merits preservation, as it contributes to the historical and cultural record, offering insight into the evolving landscape of American political representation. Furthermore, her traction is highlighted by the amount of financial support she has garnered in her electoral campaign, surpassing established politicians by a significant margin, is a testament to her widespread appeal and the public interest in her candidacy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel G Rego (talk • contribs) 02:19, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • A few articles about her candidacy is not "major notability" in the US or otherwise. Per WP:NPOL, being an candidate for office doesn't establish notability, so the fundraising argument is irrelevant. The fact that she *would be* the first Kashmiri person in Congress is also irrelevant. Should we just give a Wikipedia article to every single Kashmiri person who runs for Congress? Also, it's pretty clear by the WP:PROMO language you're using that you have a vested interest in this issue and want to keep this page because you support Kaul's candidacy.

    Dear Sir/Madam: This is a respectul reminder to uphold the principles of WP:EQ and maintain a standard of civility in our discourse. Your counter-argumentation strays from these core values, veering into character assassination, baseless accusations, and attempts to denigrate fellow Wikipedians. Such tactics not only undermine the spirit of collaborative and respectful dialogue but also detract from the substantive discussion at hand: the merits and demerits of the article in question.

  • It may be helpful to link these Indian and Pakistani articles you are referring to, if there is widespread and in-depth coverage of this individual. Otherwise, this comment is meaningless for the purposes of the AfD. - Skipple ☎ 05:26, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
