WP:DSENVIRONMENT

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Environment. 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:

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.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Environment|~~~~}} 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 Environment.

2024 New Jersey earthquake[edit]

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Now that the dust has settled down it is quite evident that no lasting coverage exists for this. Fails WP:NEVENT and WP:NOTNEWS applies. Run of the mill earthquake that is unnotable, this wouldn't be an article if it occurred anywhere else in the world Traumnovelle (talk) 21:30, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for same reasons I stated in the previous nomination. This was an exceedingly rare event and regardless if it doesn’t have lasting coverage shouldn’t mean it isn’t notable. Lots of things more important then the earthquake took over as the top news in the weeks after.--MarioProtIV (^talk/_contribs) 00:57, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Rarity is not notability.

>Lots of things more important then the earthquake took over as the top news in the weeks after

Because the event was just news, nothing more. Notable events get reporting outside of just news.

WP:NEVENT is the relevant notability guideline here which has not been met. Traumnovelle (talk) 01:43, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Are we sure there is no lasting coverage? by the way, the continued aftershocks are relevant. 2600:4808:353:7B01:1785:F9F3:5DC9:D12E (talk) 01:39, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Continued aftershocks are not relevant to lasting coverage of the earthquake, or else this would be the '2024 New Jersey earthquakes' Traumnovelle (talk) 01:41, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Aftershocks were deemed relevant for the 2024 Noto earthquake and 2024 Hualien earthquake. Besides the first reference isn't even about an aftershock. --2600:4808:353:7B01:1785:F9F3:5DC9:D12E (talk) 01:44, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes it is about repairing the damage, routine for the event.

The two other articles have references which show lasting impact and coverage such as [1] and [2]

Also you are comparing earthquakes more than a hundred times the power with over a thousand casualties each to one that had not a single casualty. Traumnovelle (talk) 01:47, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and Trout Slap The sources demonstrate global coverage in news and scientific publications. The previous AfD closed as Keep just weeks ago and nothing has changed. It's all relative. For example, at a whopping 1,803 feet (550 m), High Point (New Jersey) is an article for the tallest mountain in New Jersey, which would be a pimple in California, Colorado or Alaska. This was the strongest quake in the state in 240 years, and I'd be more than comfortable with the pace of four New Jersey earthquake articles every millennium, and the next one appearing somewhere in the 2260s. So the AfD rationalization is that it's already weeks past the earthquake and there isn't daily coverage so we need to delete the article? Time to whip out the trout and thrash it as needed. Alansohn (talk) 03:10, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Terrible example, that mountain has a state park and ski park, both of which confer notability beyond simply being a mountain.

Maybe I missed a link but I do not see any scientific publications in the reference list. WP:NEVENT is the relevant guideline.

WP:EVENTCRIT, fails that.

WP:LASTING, gives quite a clear example as to why this is not notable.

WP:GEOSCOPE 'such coverage should not be the sole basis for creating an article'

WP:DEPTH and WP:PERSISTENCE apply here. Traumnovelle (talk) 04:38, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:GNG is satisfied based on the scope and breadth of reliable and verifiable sources about the earthquake. The earthquake itself occurred mere weeks ago and it is far, far too soon to be whining about WP:PERSISTENCE, which explicitly says "this may be difficult or impossible to determine shortly after the event occurs, as editors cannot know whether an event will receive further coverage or not". Come back in a few years and we can discuss as a community. Until then, move on. Alansohn (talk) 05:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree, if it is too soon to determine notability then it is too soon to have an article. GNG is also a presumption of notability and the relevant criteria for this article is NEVENT. Traumnovelle (talk) 05:34, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for the same reason I said the last time this article was elected. This was a very rare event, both in magnitude and location. I've still seen talks about the earthquake to this day, and I feel like this was an important event and should have a page dedicated to it. OurAfternoonMalady (talk) 11:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heavily embellished promotional bio created by an SPA, with no actual in-depth coverage by independent reliable sources. Except for nigeriasportsnews.com, which appears to be a puff piece, none of the sources refbombed in the article are actually about the subject—only tangential mentions from issues he has been involved in.

Makersite[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Hits the WP:SERIESA formula pretty exactly - of the 12 citations on this article, 6 are funding announcements, 1 is a short uncritical profile of the CEO, 1 is a venturebeat article with a comment from the CEO on something unrelated to the company, 1 is a marketing release for a company, and the other 3 just acknowledge that the company launched an Autodesk CAD plugin while talking about something else.

No coverage which goes deeper than stating that a particular business deal took place. BrigadierG (talk) 12:17, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nothing in the standard BEFORE, nothing in the usual databases, doesn't look like there's anything useful in NONENG either. Much too soon to have an article, if we ever should. Alpha3031 (t • c) 16:50, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
