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

2024 S.V. Notch season (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Football team seasons in Suriname have never been seen as fulfilling WP:NSEASONS, but I guess this kind of article hasn't really been created before either, so I want a community discussion whether this fails WP:NSEASONS. I personally think this does fail that guideline. Furthermore, I don't see the need for article diffusion since S.V. Notch is a microstub and the Suriname Major League is short as well.

Former football player with 84 games, 71 at the semi-pro level, 13 in Switzerland's second-tier league. Sources are just roster listing sort of things. I don't think he meets WP:NSPORT. Here2rewrite (talk) 16:15, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. As a doctoral student he does not yet meet WP:PROF (how I found this AfD) and as a failed political candidate he does not meet WP:NPOL. We have no evidence of any other form of notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:30, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete His UN award helps, but it's not enough to establish notability on its own. Doesn't pass GNG. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 19:26, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:SPORTSCRIT, Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources. Searching only uncovers further database sources and a very limited number of primary sources. C679 12:09, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment – The player actually had a modest career, but there are some sources in the local media [1], [2], [3]. Is at the limit of WP:GNG in my opinion. Svartner (talk) 23:05, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Uruguayans in Germany (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Tiny diaspora group, a couple thousand in a country of 80 million. Wikipedia is not for every thinkable cross-national immigrant group in the world. I cannot fathom how this passes GNG either. Furthermore, Notability is not inherited by a group by virtue of a couple of notable individuals holding this ethnicity. The fact that Germany accepted some communists is better conveyed by a sentence in Germany–Uruguay relations. Geschichte (talk) 06:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
