Deletion Sorting
Project

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

Now dissolved political party that never participated in an election, other than the first four references (which all solely reference the founding of the party, i.e. duplicative of one another), the remaining references are all just passing. Overall lacks WP:SIGCOV and fails WP:GNG. Epluribusunumyall (talk) 19:57, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of political parties in Yukon. I'm not sure if it is dissolved, but it also doesn't meet the criteria at WP:ORGCRIT - there is really only 1 piece of WP:SIGCOV, the 2021 article about its foundation. Can be recreated if they get significant coverage in the future. Katzrockso (talk) 22:56, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The sole source cited in this article (an archived document from 2011) speaks of "a world class primary molybdenum property in the advanced stage of exploration" and gives various resource estimates, but it's clear that no mine had been opened at that time; and I can find no evidence on the Internet of any mining activity since then. This is rather reminiscent of an article I nominated for deletion three years ago, created by the same editor; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aranos mine. Deor (talk) 15:16, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Most sources refer to other "Ajax Mines" in Canada, some from 1916 Monkeysmashingkeyboards (talk) 17:42, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There's apparently an Ajax Mine in British Columbia, with which, as the article's history indicates, this supposed mine in Newfoundland has been confused. I should have mentioned that in the nomination. Deor (talk) 18:29, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I closed a bundled AfD containing 12 lists as they weren't similar enough and created an AfD for each. In general, these lists aren't individually notable. Specifically, I counted that ten of these 12 lists are wholly attributed to only one (or sometimes two) sources, which of course doesn't meet WP:NLIST. They are all relatively short and variously formatted. FaviFake (talk) 16:03, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Here's what establishes notability for a list article per WP:NLIST:
    • The topic of the list must be notable.
    • List items (I'm paraphrasing):
      • Individual entries must be properly cited to reliable sources per WP:RS if not notable themselves, OR
      • Individual entries must have links to their own articles
This list is cited to reliable sources. List is bounded to notable firms only, all of which have articles. Any other issues involve cleanup, not deletion -- WP:DINC.--A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 01:15, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NMUSIC. Lacking significant coverage of this musician. I can't find anything to support the claim that she is a Grammy nominated artist. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 16:27, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merna Bishouty is credited as a songwriter on the track “What a Pity” from Cory Henry’s album Operation Funk (2022).[1] Operation Funk was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Progressive R&B Album in the 65th Annual Grammy Awards. [2][3] Because of her contribution as a credited songwriter, Merna Bishouty is a Grammy‑nominated songwriter for her involvement in this album.

No matter how hard she tries to promote herself in this fashion, she is not "Grammy-nominated" under any standard definition. Cory Henry's album is what was actually nominated, and she has a connection to it. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:59, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So in fact, Merna is a Grammy nominated songwriter for her contribution to Cory Henry’s Operation Funk. Bishl (talk) 21:53, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But she is not listed as a nominee at the official Grammy site, which I interpret to mean that the organization allows people to promote themselves as nominees in an unofficial way but with no lasting recognition. In any case, Merna has over-promoted herself as a Grammy nominee which gives an inaccurate impression of her supposed achievements when all she did was co-write one song on an album that received the actual nomination. If Cory Henry's album had won, Merna would probably not have a statuette for her living room. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:16, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No reliable sigcov found after a search. Quite recently established. For a publisher, there are not even passing mentions in RS of books they've published, which even the least notable publishers tend to get. PARAKANYAA (talk) 03:48, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies if I'm not responding appropriately, this is my first response to an AfD (and I'm not familiar with all the jargon).
This is a newer small private publisher of limited editions, but has received some attention, including an article about their Peter Pan edition in Fine Books & Collections [6], a 2025 Alcuin Society award [7], announcement of an upcoming release at Tripwire magazine [8] as well as some other blogs (e.g., Ubiquitous Books [9], Collectible Book Vault [10]). I'm not familiar with RS but do see regular mentions in other user communities like r/BookCollecting (and a few others on Reddit) and regular threads in the LibraryThing forums (e.g., [11]). Furthermore, this is considered one of a handful of modern "collectible presses" tracked by Collectible Book Vault [12], like Centipede Press and Subterranean Press and a few others (though newer). Egosumliber (talk) 14:39, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Knowing what sourcing that does and doesn't constitute notability can be confusing at first. Release announcements and product placements do not help notability for Wikipedia's purposes. For that, we need multiple reliable sources that give them significant coverage. I do not think the Collectible Book Vault would be a WP:Reliable source per Wikipedia's standards. Things like established newspapers, magazines, books, etc, would, but not WP:User generated websites like Reddit or Librarything or wordpress blogs. And for a source to count for notability it has to be significant in the amount of coverage it gives to the subject (e.g. a few hundred words at minimum) and independent of the subject (so not their own website or blog). So a type of coverage that would help notability would be a newspaper article going over the company's origins and history or business or something, but not "upcoming product".
Centipede Press and Subterranean Press also don't have great sourcing in their articles, so assuming that is all there is (there could be more for those, I haven't checked) I don't think they would be notable either. PARAKANYAA (talk) 22:32, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'll add that is often quite hard for companies to meet the criteria for articles, and particularly so for publishing companies, since they have to meet the criteria at WP:NORG (specifically see WP:SIRS). Frankly, people don't often write that kind of thing about a publisher unless they're Penguin Books. The focus is usually on the books themselves (like the Peter Pan edition you mentioned -- or the Alcuin Society award, which was given to a specific edition), and only after a lot of time has passed do historians show up and start analyzing the effect of the specific books/people involved with a publisher. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 20:42, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete After some searching, I haven't been able to turn up any suitably independent coverage. It strikes me as plausible that someone would one day write about them in the context of letterpress/deluxe printing in the Digital Age, but no sign that this has yet occurred. The books are gorgeous, so it was a pleasant hunt, but they don't appear to meet WP:NORG at this time. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 20:53, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This list seems to be functioning as a web page directory, not as an encyclopedic list with a certain amount of notability. This duplicates the list on the union's web site, which seems like a more appropriate place for readers to go to find this information. -- Beland (talk) 23:17, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This is a list split out from the main IATSE article as the list of locals would be overly large for the article. And a list of locals is no different than any other list of subsidiary structures found all around Wikipedia. oknazevad (talk) 23:37, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Clear case of WP:NOTDIR and also doesn't satisfy WP:NLIST either. Ajf773 (talk) 02:50, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The topic is notable, and could be included with the main article but for its size. The main reason given for deletion is also invalid: NOTDIR does not describe this kind of list, but random information with no particular reason to appear together in an encyclopedia, giving five specific instances, none of which describe the contents here: this is not a 1) a simple list without context (context is provided); 2) a collection of loosely-associated topics (these all belong to a single topic); 3) a non-encyclopedic cross-categorization (not a cross-categorization, since they all belong to a single category); 4) a list of genealogical entries (not genealogical); 4) an electronic program guide (not a program guide); or 5) a resource for conducting business (it's not comercially-related, and provides no information about products or pricing). P Aculeius (talk) 18:56, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think you missed the beginning of WP:NOT:

    Although there are debates about the encyclopedic merits of several classes of entries, consensus is that the following are good examples of what Wikipedia is not. The examples under each section are not exhaustive.

    Emphasis mine. This is very much in the spirit of what's addressed here, even if it not specifically listed as an example. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 19:39, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    But NOTDIR is being cited, and NOTDIR doesn't have anything remotely applicable. You can't just claim that a policy applies because it sounds to you like it ought to apply. It almost sounds like you're citing WP:INDISCRIMINATE, another policy that's constantly cited without any obvious correlation between anything said under it and the thing they're upset about being included in Wikipedia. But there is nothing indiscriminate about a list of chapters of a notable organization. That's the opposite of indiscriminate. If NOTDIR meant "lists of sub-units of something notable", surely that would be the very first thing mentioned. The fact that nothing of the sort is mentioned at all under NOTDIR speaks volumes. P Aculeius (talk) 22:19, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    NOTDIR says:

    Wikipedia encompasses many lists of links to articles within Wikipedia that are used for internal organization or to describe a notable subject. In that sense, Wikipedia functions as an index or directory of its own content. However, Wikipedia is not a directory of everything in the universe that exists or has existed.

    That sounds to me like it very much does apply. As mentioned, the examples following that preamble are not exhaustive, and cannot possibly cover every conceivable case. This is a mere directory listing of over 250 local chapters of a particular union. Maintaining such a list is outside Wikipedia's scope. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 07:21, 2 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Very very clear case of the sort of thing that WP:NOTDIR is meant to address. See also this essay for a bit of context on the phenomenon of how this sort of list comes about to be. It didn't belong in the main article, and it doesn't belong in a standalone list either. Kill it now. Kill it with fire. 35.139.154.158 (talk) 19:39, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yelir 314, Wikipedia has specific criteria for inclusion that are unique to our mission as an encyclopedia. We're not here for publicity -- take a look at one of our core policies: "What Wikipedia is not", in particular the section "Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion".

Promotional article about a non notable musician. Fails GNG and NMUSIC. Thilsebatti (talk) 03:55, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is 100% not promotional content as it is written in the same format as other wikipedia articles about playback singers -- ie general intro, Biography, songs released. The articles cited to are highly reputed and include features in publications like "The Hindu" - which is one of the largest newspapers in India.
Abby V is a very notable musician in the Indian music scene with a huge fan following. He recently sold out a NJ just yesterday. The playback songs he has done are for some of the biggest movies in India. Indian 2 starred Kamal Hasaan who has been in over 230 Indian films and is a politician in India. The latest track of Abby's is for the prequel to Kantara (2022) - a movie that had grossed 450K crore Indian rupees worldwide. Abby V's Instagram as of today shows he has 494K+ Followers. Roopa521 (talk) 04:32, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would also suggest that those considering to delete this wiki page read all the articles that are cited to. Roopa521 (talk) 04:36, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
One other point to be considered is that the latest track, "Brahmakalasha" (Kannada) from Kantara Chapter 1 has already gained 871K views as of now (Sept 29, 12:42 AM) after 1 day of the release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9HCH2xKSJc Kantara Chapter 1, the prequel to Kantara (2022) is a movie produced by Hombale Films, which has become one of the most successful production houses for Kannada cinema. To get at track in their films in and of itself proves a singer's notability. For example, Kantara Chapter 1 will also have Diljit Dosanjh sing and he is an Emmy Nominee. Roopa521 (talk) 04:43, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also, in case it helps to know, the Juno Awards for which Abby's album got nominated is actually a major body. The Awards, referred to as the Junos, are awards presented by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences to recognize outstanding achievements in Canada's music industry. It's like the Grammys but in Canada. :-) Hope these additional points help. Thanks again for all your effort in evaluating this article for Wiki! Roopa521 (talk) 04:58, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In short -- Abby V is notable due to his status as a playback singer, projects he has worked on (album with a grammy winner, JUNO nom, singing for Kantara) and his coverage in leading papers.
  • He has had press coverage in leading Indian papers like The Hindu, Hindustan Times, Indian Express, New Indian Express
  • Has been interviewed by international media like BBC
  • Nominated for a JUNO Award (Canada's equivalent of the Grammys)
  • Abby V’s album Aarambh was a collaboration with Grammy winner Ricky Kej. This album was nominated for a JUNO [1] He will be listed under "Global Music Album of the Year" (category) "Abby V" (his name) "Aarambh" (album title)
  • He is a playback singer who sang 'Neelorpam' for Indian 2 (Starring superstar Kamal Haasan).
  • Most significantly, he sang the lead track 'Brahmakalasha' from Kantara: Chapter 1 [2][3]
  • It's a huge deal to be part of Kantara franchise. Kantara Chapter 1 released just 4 days back and crossed 325 crore INR in its opening weekend. [4]
  • Instagram following is 450K

The actual report here that is the subject of the article fails N.

It also warrants note that this was submitted to WP:AFC several times, and was declined each time for not meeting Wikipedia standards of content organization and referencing, before being arbitrarily moved into mainspace by its own creator, which is not proper wikiprocess.

    I mean, it's not not allowed but most of the time the reviewers at AfC get it right and prevent difficult discussions like this. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 15:30, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Thank you for your comments. As the author of this article, it comes as no surprise that I think it should be kept. I made changes in response to the suggestions of other editors. I also made notes on the talk page and appealed directly to the previous editor, asking them to review my changes and provide me with feedback. When I received no reply and weeks had passed, I decided to move it to the main space. I was trying to be respectful of the process, but I also feel that an editor should revisit an article after having declined it to see if the issue had been resolved. I am always respectful of my fellow Wikipedians.

The Right to Read inquiry report is similar to two other articles. One of them is "Teaching Children to Read," by the National Reading Panel in the United States (2000), which is a well-known report on literacy instruction that was well-received by President George W. Bush and used to craft the federal literacy policy. The other report is the Independent review of the teaching of early reading (Rose Report 2006), which had a significant impact on the manner in which reading is taught in England.

The Right to Read inquiry report was the result of the work of two recognized Canadian authorities in the areas of reading disabilities and reading instruction. It is notable because the Government of Ontario, Canada, responded to the report by making significant changes to the way children are taught to read in Ontario. It has also received positive reviews from experienced Canadian educators; please see the "Reception" section.

I am passionate about Wikipedia's mission to provide free, evidence-based information and have been an active contributor since 2011, with nearly 3,000 edits. I am more than willing to make changes to the article based on constructive feedback.

I forgot to sign off properly. John NH (talk) 21:54, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - 89 references? Some articles in academic journals explicitly, extensively, and significantly about the report? I'd like to see a review of the sources :). I looked at a single one of those - a 16-page article in Education Sciences - it's an excellent reference. I also did my own search of academic journals, and here's another one in the Journal of Learning and Teaching that's 20-pages long and all about the report. Could the article be improved? Yes. Is that grounds for deletion? No. Do I know why we are even here? No. Nfitz (talk) 04:08, 1 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Owen× ☎ 12:10, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The subject most definitely meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. The quickest WP:BEFORE search finds that it has been covered academically here [13] [14] and in media coverage [15]. There is no other WP:DEL-REASON presented here, so many of the arguments appear to simply be WP:DINC/WP:PROBLEM. Katzrockso (talk) 20:08, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
