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

Recently prodded/deprodded stub article about a short-lived gallery in NYC. In a BEFORE search I was able to find some info about a few of the artists who exhibited at the gallery, but the only thing I could find on the gallery itself is the closure announcement on ArtInfo.[1] I think this is a press release and not actual reporting on the gallery itself as there is no by-line. I found nothing on the Wikipedia Library other than the review of Jamisen Ogg's show (which is about the artist's work not the gallery), and JSTOR turned up nothing. The single ArtInfo piece on the closure is not enough to meet WP:NCORP nor WP:GNG. Bringing it here for the community to decide. Netherzone (talk) 16:16, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

- Delete - notability is not inherent because they were in NYC or had one notable artist; see WP:NOTINHERITED. If they represented multiple notable artists, then that would be different. Bearian (talk) 22:59, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Doesn't meet WP:ACADEMIC or WP:GNG. Regarding his medical career, scopus shows 9 publications with an H-index of 9, with most of the citations coming from mid-authorship papers. For example, on his most highly-cited paper (Meltzer et al., 2003) he is one of 88 authors, and is listed only in the trialist, not in the main authors (checking the pdf). Visiting professorship at the University of Sunderland in the 90s doesn't meet the 'named chair' criterion. Other outputs seem typical for a typical academic in the humanities. LTLC flute is very impressive, but performance interpretation/outputs are supported only with self-citations. Klbrain (talk) 19:29, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

The article should have been merged with the draft instead of being moved to overwrite the redirect. This article's content should be merged with the draft, along with a WP:HISTMERGE of the two, and then the redirect from this title to Schoenbrun's biography should be restored. Protect this title and any of its variants (which should likewise redirect to Schoenbrun) to prevent any further creation in mainspace until the draft is ready. silviaASH (inquire within) 08:59, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- As a sidenote, the film has actually in fact begun filming per Schoenbrun's Twitter account. However, as reliable secondary sources have not reported on the production at this time, the nominator is correct that the film should not currently have its own article. I would advocate an early WP:IAR close of this AfD to restore the appropriate status quo of redirection and implement the merge to the draft. silviaASH (inquire within) 09:03, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

- Keep, meets GNG and seems to be a semi-big budget film produced by Brad Pitt and starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson. Not your typical run-of-the-mill slasher film. Maybe merge the best parts of the draft to this page. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:18, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- There wasn't really that much in the draft to speak of. However if the article is kept I believe the draft history should be merged into the history of the mainspace article. Given the significant media attention afforded to Schoenbrun's previous success with I Saw the TV Glow, this film will definitely be worthy of an article, the question at hand in this AfD is whether or not it's WP:TOOSOON. silviaASH (inquire within) 13:15, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks SilviaASH. Since TOOSOON is an opinion essay, and this page is already GNG well-sourced as a film which is now actually filming and not in the idea stage, I felt a keep the better option. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:22, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

- Keep : Filming had begun [1] --ProudWatermelon (talk) 22:17, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm a little leery about keeping this based on the current sourcing. While filming has started, that's just the starting line - the moment at which we can start considering if a film's production is notable. There's really no coverage that I can find of the filming. There are some announcements about the cast and so on, but not really anything about the filming. My point here is this: let's assume that either everything stops here or the movie were to get indefinitely shelved and we have zero further coverage of any of this. Or it releases and, despite the involved people, it gets no fanfare or reviews. Would the current sourcing be enough to pass NFILM/NFF? My concern is that we're banking on future coverage to more firmly push this into NFF or NFILM territory. It's just that I've seen films get kept at stages like this, only to end up getting deleted at an AfD further on down the line so there's a risk of kicking the can further down the road and there being additional work to search for sourcing later. I mean, odds are high that this will release and gain coverage, but like I said, there were a lot of other films where this was also assumed and it never released - and not every unreleased film gets Batgirl type coverage. Not saying I'm going to argue against this, just that this should be considered. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (。◕‿◕。) 19:45, 22 May 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah, I basically agree with you on all this. It's almost certainly going to be finished and will definitely be notable when it does, but it's best to be safe rather than sorry with these kinds of things. Given the borderline nature of this case I can understand some preferring to keep it, but given that there's not that much to cover about the film at this juncture besides the plot synopsis and the director and cast, I don't see much of a reason to not hold the article in draftspace. silviaASH (inquire within) 23:16, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

This article has been flagged for multiple issues starting in November 2024 without improvement. Having performed a WP:BEFORE I an unable to find references that show that they pass WP:NACTOR. Awards are stated in the article as facts, most are unreferenced. I have examined 100% of the current references and find that none contribute to WP:V of WP:BIO, and I have flagged those I found wanting. My conclusion is that they are decent actor, but a jobbing, WP:ROTM actor, and that we are WP:TOOSOON in their career. 🇵🇸🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦🇵🇸 08:39, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

This is a student article that has become a bit of a coatrack article with a POV split. The article itself requires a § Terminology section just to define its own criteria and then is otherwise mostly determined by exhibitions and events, festivals and initiatives pertinent to that criteria.

Delete per nom; also, the article is an essay. Opm581 (talk | he/him) 01:09, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
- On second thought, I'll vote Draftify per Bearian. Opm581 (talk | he/him) 22:21, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Draftify - while the terminology section is a disaster, it can be fixed and it's not yet the end of the semester. The student editor should be able to fix the mistakes in the article. I think college is all about learning from mistakes. FWIW, I'm a gay man who identifies as "queer". Bearian (talk) 00:28, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
- Noninator's comment: not opposed to draftify. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 22:56, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Comment While I think this article could use some editing, to make it both more concise and easier to read. I don’t think that warrants it being deleted. The information is still useful. Vvbudh (talk) 14:57, 14 May 2025 (UTC) Copied from AfD talk page by Suriname0 (talk), because I think it is appropriate to include here in the main discussion. Vvbudh, you are welcome to vote explicitly in this AfD by writing a comment on this page that begins with '''Keep''' (for example). Suriname0 (talk) 19:13, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Weak Keep. Somewhat to my surprise a look at the sources shows that this is a topic covered in reliable sources and not simply a synthesis of original research. No need for deletion. Should be kept and improved, or perhaps condensed into a section at Queer art or a similar article. Eluchil404 (talk) 23:13, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep, issues with the writing are not a valid reason for deletion. The topic is sufficiently covered in reliable secondary sources (which are in this article) and therefore passes GNG.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, asilvering (talk) 04:45, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- Draftify: in its current form, its an essay and apparently original research. I suggest draftification to give a chance to the author to either split the content to relevant articles, or better delineate the subject for a standalone article. MarioGom (talk) 13:43, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- Draftify, possible to make this an article at some point, but i'd rather it remain in Draftspace until its essay tone gets sorted out. -Samoht27 (talk) 16:35, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I'm not finding anything in a BEFORE search to substantiate the notability of this artist. It appears that this is an autobiography. None of the exhibitions are notable, and I cannot find evidence that their work is held in the permeant collections of notable museums or national galleries, so it's an WP:NARTIST fail. Also not finding that they meet WP:GNG as what is present in current sourcing and what was found in the BEFORE is mostly social media or primary sources such as interviews or user-submitted content. No significant reviews or articles in academic journals or art history books. It seems to be a case of WP:TOOSOON. Bringing it here for the community to decide.

The subject receives WP:SIGCOV in only one very specialist regional reliable source, Pacific Coast Architecture Database. WP:GNG requires multiple reliable sources, in practice this means at least two. Following an online search, no further reliable sources, even at a regional level, giving significant coverage have emerged. --Boynamedsue (talk) 00:23, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

- Keep for me the second Google result is a reported obituary in the Los Angeles Times.[3]. Work in the LA County Museum of Art[4] Jahaza (talk) 04:22, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Jahaza:In the UK that result isn't showing up. I suspect there might be some kind of google geoblock going on for the LA Times. Perhaps due to that business a few years back where US websites weren't meeting EU data protection standards?
- That source strengthens the case for WP:SIGCOV, but aren't obituaries sometimes paid for in US papers? The fact it only contains interviews with family members is something of a red flag. Could you have a look and see if there is anything else a-couple-of-paragraph-length or longer coming from an LA paper specifically devoted to Emmons and his work rather than his death? If there is I think I should be able to withdraw.--Boynamedsue (talk) 06:18, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
- I do see additional sources [5], Eichler: Modernism Rebuilds the American Dream pp. 118-19, and Sunnylands: Art and Architecture of the Annenberg Estate in Rancho Mirage, California p. 5. A difficult one because there's not nothing, but there's not a whole lot, either. I have no opinion since it's possible to make arguments in either direction here, would delete if I had to pick between keep or delete just because GNG might be but is not clearly established.

The encyclopedia already has many, many articles listing tall buildings. The encyclopedia also has many categories related to tall buildings.
This new article has several issues: (a) does not conform to proper title convention (should be "List of ..."); (b) 90% of the facts (rows) do not have any citation validating the facts of the row; and most importantly: (c) this list is duplicative of all the other "tall building" lists already in the encyclopedia... every time a new record is broken, this is one more list to update.
If the consensus is to keep this list, at a minimum it must be properly sourced. There is no lack of sources in the other, existing List articles. Noleander (talk) 18:40, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- I posted the above AfD as part of WP:NPP effort. After making the post, I see another editor, User:Remsense had similar thoughts two weeks ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tallest_structures_by_category&diff=1289324742&oldid=1289202581 Remsense deleted the article and replaced it with a redirect to List of tallest buildings and structures. Then, the article creator returned and re-created the article.
- Probably should do that same "Delete and redirect" action again. Noleander (talk) 18:44, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Strong keep. Although if you'd like to change the article name to List of tallest structures by category, I have no objection to that.
- The article says, for example, that the tallest clock tower is the Abraj Al Bait, at 601 meters. It links to an article with a list of the tallest clock towers, and another article all about the Abraj Al Bait. Those other articles have sources. Although if you'd like to add sources here too, I'd be in favor of that.
- It's true that this article is a bit duplicative of all the other lists. But I think it's useful having a single article like this to combine them all, and see how each category compares to the other. One more list to update isn't that big a deal.
- For those who are just joining us, this article used to be a single section of a larger article titled List of tallest buildings and structures. Here is how it looked when they were together. But it didn't really have anything in common with the rest of that article (which was the history of the world's tallest structures), so this section was recently made into a separate article of its own, and the remainder had its name changed. Remsense thought they should stay together, rather than being separate articles, which we discussed. But I don't think anyone has previously suggested it should be deleted altogether. This information has been on Wikipedia at its prior location for a long time. It does lack references, but it's a good article, it's been pretty high profile, and a lot of people have contributed to it. - Burner89751654 (talk) 20:13, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

- Speedy keep This isn't a new article, it's a very longstanding article that's been split out to a new name. I don't believe it's duplicative, the creator has been working on improving organziation of tallest building lists recently. More sources are certainly needed but there's no basis for deletion given.

Fails WP:NSPORTS due to lack of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. The only sourcing is Olympedia and SR (which is to say, the same source) both of which do not satisfy WP:NSPORTS.
WP:BEFORE is rendered difficult by the existence of the composer Franz Liszt (known as "Abbé Liszt" due to his monk-like haircut), but nothing found on Google or Internet Archive other than passing mentions.
The DE Wiki article is an object-lesson in why editors should not engage in original research in primary sources: no we are not in the business of piecing together someone's life story based on marriage/death certificates and entries in the address book that could easily be about someone with the same name! The only not-primary sourcing in the DE Wiki article is this passing mention and this passing mention. FOARP (talk) 08:50, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

- Olympedia gives a decent paragraph, noting among other things that he designed a house that was temporarily the residence of Albert Einstein(!). It seems highly likely there's more to find here. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:12, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
"he designed a house that was temporarily the residence of Albert Einstein(!)"
- Beannie, Einstein was a totally unknown student when he lived in a small room in that apartment block. Being the architect of a building that someone who decades later became famous temporarily lived in is not even slightly a plausible claim to notability. FOARP (talk) 08:16, 24 May 2025 (UTC)- While I haven't looked extensively for sources and am currently neutral in this discussion, it should be noted that notability is WP:NOTINHERITED.

Non-notable local government website. PROD previously declined with a suggestion to merge the content somewhere, but there's no clear place to merge it to -- there's no article for Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections (the agency that runs the website) and it would be WP:UNDUE in the main Seattle or even Government and politics of Seattle articles.

- The Washington Post article has two sentences:
Seattle, though, has already built a platform tracking new real-estate projects that hints at what could be possible. Projects that have to go through a design review are all mapped by the city here, with each one linked to a timeline, images and public documents.
Not exactly WP:SIGCOV. King 5, KPLU, and CityLab are all just regurgitating the press release announcing the website, which also doesn't count towards notability. GeekWire is the only one that comes close, but that article is much more about Seattle in Progress than Shaping Seattle. I haven't been able to find anything else that counts towards notability either, with all of the coverage just being "hey, this exists" regurgitations of the press release from 2015 -- nothing from the decade since then.

- Keep. There is no way a 95-year-old, 880-bed hospital affiliated to (possibly) the best medical university in China is not notable. I'm not going to do a proper source search just this moment, but I will provide references for my claims: [6][7]. Toadspike [Talk] 00:02, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep.This hospital is classified as a Grade A Tertiary Hospital, which means it is one of the highest-level hospitals officially accredited by the Chinese government. It is a non-profit public institution, not commercially operated, and treats tens of thousands of patients annually. Frankly speaking, one reason I focus on writing entries about large public hospitals is to help prevent misleading commercial promotion by smaller private hospitals. The references cited are based on the most authoritative and professional data sources available regarding local healthcare conditions. Has the proposer fulfilled their responsibility in reviewing this content seriously? Have they conducted any academic searches or reviewed relevant literature? I was able to retrieve numerous academic papers through Google Scholar. Or is the proposer simply speculating based on personal unfamiliarity? Such an attitude is neither friendly nor consistent with the rigor and responsibility that this task requires.--Amazingloong (talk) 15:48, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

- Keep but the article desperately needs improvement in the form of better sourcing. SportingFlyer T·C 23:48, 23 May 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. The amount of WP:RS WP:SIGCOV is sufficient to meet WP:GNG WP:NOTABILITY requirements for inclusion. The nature of coverage passes the WP:SIGCOV threshold, so the case cannot be made that coverage is WP:TRIVIAL or WP:ROUTINE, since it is significant and demonstrates WP:IMPACT, therefore justifying a standalone article. I also find that available sources are reliable and independent, removing any concerns about WP:PROMO. Since the subject is notable, WP:NOTABILITY criteria per WP:GNG are met. Additionally, there is plenty of SIGCOV to demonstrate the subject’s notability in a manner that satisfies the relevant guidelines for the subject. ZachH007 (talk) 00:05, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
