Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Puerto Rico: Difference between revisions

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Puerto Rico. 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|Puerto Rico|~~~~}} 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 Puerto Rico. 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 Caribbean.

The page contains no prose at all; it only has an infobox and images. BlockArranger (talk) 14:39, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn’t find any WP:SIGCOV that satisfies me that he meets WP:NFOOTY and therefore fails and also fails WP:GNG. He did have an MLS contract but he never actually played a regular season game for the Seattle Sounders. Servite et contribuere (talk) 14:43, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete – no evidence of notability. If sources are found which show significant coverage please ping me. GiantSnowman 10:04, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• FWIW, some coverage spanning nine years from 2009 to 2017: “Loch Raven, Bays alum Moses joins Austrian club” (2011), “Moses’ versatility key” (2009), “Puerto Rico Adds To Back Line With Seth Moses Signing” (2017). Cbl62 (talk) 17:19, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – @Servite et contribuere: How could you include a lot of countries alongside U.S. states for this nomination when he was born in Maryland, United States? NFOOTY doesn’t exist anymore, so I prefer delete. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 13:33, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Clariniie Because he played for teams in those countries and those states. Servite et contribuere (talk) 17:25, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep based on the sources found by Cbl62. Bearian (talk) 04:31, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Nothing about the Baltimore Sun articles are significant coverage – far from it. The NASL source is not independent. The sources in the article aren’t significant or independent either. Geschichte (talk) 21:39, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
