Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Spain

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

Does not appear to be notable per:Wikipedia:Notability. One of the sources it uses is a map service. The other is a data base. Both do not show anything notable about it other then it exists, which is not enough for an entire article about by it self. I suggest that we delete it or merge with Cava, Spain.

In its current state, almost certainly fails A7. Previous revisions contained more content regarding his racing career but still seem to fail WP:NMOTORSPORT, WP:BIO, and WP:GNG - most of the races and cups listed are junior, neither the European Touring Car Cup nor the Audi Sport TT seem independently notable enough to warrant an article on a racer, and secondary sources largely mention him in passing or based on his connection to Andy Priaulx.

• Delete. Notability not yet remotely attained in WP:Prof: nothing else to be found. WP:Too soon. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:33, 18 March 2025 (UTC).[reply ]
• Delete. Fails WP:NMOTORSPORT and WP:Prof. There is insufficient coverage in reliable, independent sources to establish notability in motorsports or science (neither physics nor political economy). The available sources primarily mention him in passing, and his racing career does not appear to have significant achievements at a high enough level to warrant a standalone article. Mostly karting or junior championships. No indendent sources on academic career.Penguti86 (talk) 03:00, 18 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Not a notable singer/musician. Doesn't meet WP:NMUSIC or WP:BIO. Frost 09:44, 15 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Spain. Spiderone ^{(Talk to Spider)} 10:35, 15 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you for reaching out regarding the deletion discussion for Icepop. I appreciate the opportunity to clarify its significance and address any concerns.

I believe this article meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines, as Icepop has received coverage from multiple reliable and independent sources. It is a recognized entity within its field and has made a meaningful impact, which is why I believe it deserves inclusion.

Additionally, I am open to improving the article further by adding more citations, expanding on notable aspects, and ensuring it adheres to Wikipedia’s quality standards. If there are specific areas that need work, I’d love to collaborate to enhance its credibility rather than removing it entirely.

I kindly request reconsideration and would love to hear any constructive feedback on how we can strengthen the article.

Here are some reliable sources that "Icepop" is a notable singer -

None of these sources are notable, we don't consider social media as reliable sources. Oaktree b (talk) 02:18, 23 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Delete. Fails WP:N. References include subject’s own social media accounts that do not meet WP:RS. Subject has not won critical attention for their work or been honored with any significant industry awards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Variety312 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 15 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

here are just a few press releases that he's on there are way more on the actual page, there is a ton of information on other wiki's too so it easily meets the WP:RS & WP:N lines

also on an article on wikipedia too: oh she right - icepop

Press releases do not meet the criteria for Wikipedia:Reliable sources Variety312 (talk) 17:00, 20 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Press releases are not used to show notability; if these are the only sources you can provide, you're proving why this person is not notable. Oaktree b (talk) 02:19, 23 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Delete Notability has not been established based on the sources provided. The majority of press releases are hosted on a site that allow self-publication, which does not meet WP:RS, neither does the artist's own webpage or social media. It may be the influence of these sources, but the article also reads as quite WP:PROMO in its tone. Dfadden (talk) 20:57, 22 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

• Delete: "Growing recognition", has not performed live and tables showing nothing has charted, anywhere. This is a non-notable singer. You have to meet some of the MUSIC requirements to at least be considered for an article. There is nothing here except for a PROMO attempt. Oaktree b (talk) 02:17, 23 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
