Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Ethnic groups: Difference between revisions

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

One line article from longtime. Black statue (talk) 09:08, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify per @SaTnamZIN. CabinetCavers ^{(thou shalt speaketh)} 13:02, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify. In its present state it is totally unsuitable as an article, but it seems that its subject is probably notable, so giving a chance to improve it to make it suitable to be an article makes sense. JBW (talk) 18:32, 17 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with cleanup tag per @Lijil:. Arctic Circle System (talk) 07:51, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep won’t be rationale as the article is just single sentence and have scope to modify. SaTnamZIN (talk) 08:17, 18 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Draftify. I was opting for delete after reviewing the sources and the content of the page that failed to meet notability but as one voter believes that the subject is notable and the page can be expanded, I am considering to give a chance to improve the page. Draftify is better as it gives the creator and interested parties reason to improve the article and submit for review before it is accepted to be published to mainspace.

This topic was target of sockpuppets in the previous AfD, but the verifiability problem persists. It cites only two offline books as a source. Svartner (talk) 09:12, 25 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Ethnic groups, India, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. Svartner (talk) 09:12, 25 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment What is wrong with the sources listed in the article? Kelob2678 (talk) 17:42, 25 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  As noted in the previous AfD, there are doubts about the provenance/reliability of these books. Svartner (talk) 23:11, 25 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Searches shows that there are sources covering this topic. Maybe the article title can be changed to “Garoda” or “Garoda (community)”. Asteramellus (talk) 00:05, 27 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Which sources, and are they reliable? Geschichte (talk) 06:32, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  In Google books, I came across few WP:RS with details about Garoda (e.g. this), however, looking again, not quite sure if the coverage meets WP:SIGCOV (“addresses the topic directly and in detail”). Some sources have just passing mention. Asteramellus (talk) 18:14, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
