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|Illinois|~~~~}} 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 Illinois.

Illinois[edit]

Carlos Pesina[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

Unreferenced article. No pre or post-wiki sig coverage. Being on the crew in a lot of video games does not automatically inherit notability. Wikipedia Library, Newspapers.com, and current Google search results in hardly any in-depth sig coverage. Passings mentions/brief coverage I could find from major pubs: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7- do not help passing GNG. X (talk) 10:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Nothing has changed in the article since the previous discussion. There's no doubt he was part of the Mortal Kombat animation and motion capture, but there's still no indication of significant coverage of him. A much better case can be made for his brother, but notability is not inherited. Perhaps a case can be made for redirect or merge to the article on Daniel Pesina, but I'm not seeing the rationale for an individual article on Carlos.

Delete based on the article I expected more coverage to exist, but after checking news and books I'm Just Not Seeing It. Disappointing, as it is quite a well constructed article with nice prose and structure and pictures. BrigadierG (talk) 01:46, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Killing of Dexter Reed[edit]

Keep - This has been widely reported in reliable sources. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:26, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A brief burst of news coverage is not sufficient to establish notability. Wikipedia is not a database of murders or other news stories. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:42, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The surge of coverage occurred weeks after the event. There are sources that analyse the event as well. And there are still sources published as recently as 2 hours ago, definitely sustained coverage. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 20:14, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Red pilled media has been all over this because the left has been asking the same stupid question: "how can police justify nearly 100 shots, when all Reed did was empty his gun at a cop first?" Both sides will milk this for a long time. (Grady Judd said, "That's all the bullets we had, or we would have shot him more".) Magnolia677 (talk) 23:27, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Plenty of sources. Would meet WP:GNG. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 20:20, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
