Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Science

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

Fails WP:NLIST. I cannot find any WP:SIGCOV that directly notes or mentions mesoscale discussions on individual tornadoes; regardless this list is a mish-mash of WP:SYNTH. Most of the sources are WP:PRIMARY.

Of the last 3 AfDs (the last being in 2024), one was closed as "no consensus", one was closed as "procedural close" and the other was a dubious keep. EF5 12:36, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

  • I also don't see any significant coverage for the subject. Lorstaking (talk) 05:07, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete. The source for the list is a miserable paragraph of text that cites the same source 4 times in a row. That's an indicator of bad content. The list proceeds in like manner. It is unclear how this list makes Wikipedia a better reference. Trumpetrep (talk) 15:32, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

WP:NOTNEWS. Only sources on the article are speculative newspaper articles from period spanning less than one year from late 2001 to late 2002, over 20 years ago now, failing WP:SUSTAINED. I have found no evidence of any follow-up coverage in reliable sources that would indicate long-term encyclopaedic significance. Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:35, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

    And we don't know if pigs will fly either, we need to show notability, not just some cool stuff underwater that no one has looked at in the last 20 years. Oaktree b (talk) 13:19, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete I'd agree that a tiny handful of speculative news sources aren't a good basis for a wiki article Lostsandwich (talk)  Preceding undated comment added 09:36, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Delete Nothing in Gscholar, so this doesn't seem to be of scientific interest to that community. News reports are fine, but they amount to "look, some cool underwater stuff that might be something"... With nothing about it since. No news follow ups, no scientific studies, nothing. Could be a brief mention in an article about Cuba, that's about the extent of it. Oaktree b (talk) 13:18, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

  • Comment: Itturalde appears to have presented a recap of “investigations lasting several years” at a 2014 conference: paper (in Spanish) at ResearchGate. He concludes that the formations could well be natural but does not rule out an artificial origin, and calls for a more scientific investigation.—Odysseus1479 21:20, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
    As a article is "published" in a nonpeer reviewed conference, it doesn't qualify as an useable reliable source. By the way, Google translate for documents can be used to obatin a readable Englisg translation of this PDF. Paul H. (talk) 15:36, 14 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Merge into Guanahacabibes Peninsula. The formation has received enough coverage to warrant mention, but sources do not support a standalone article. Merging would preserve the information for readers researching the peninsula while avoiding giving undue weight to an unverified claim. Rashadaldahiri (talk) 14:41, 13 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete Reluctantly, I have to vote delete for the reasons provided above by various editors. I looked hard for the needed reliable sources in Google Scholar, Google Search, Go Duck Go, and GEOREFand failed to find any suitable reliable sources. The only reviews of the "Cuban underwater formation" that I found are 1. "An underwater city west of Cuba" by Keith Fitzpatrick-Matthews, October 28 2012 and 2. Enquête sur les pyramides de Bosnie et quelques autres cas de pseudo-archéologie, Le site d’Irna}. Unfortunately, both are inadequate in justifying the keeping of this article. Paul H.

I taged it for notability, but the tag was removed citing WP:NJOURNAL. But it is an essay not vetted into guideline. The refimprove tag was also removed. So I am sending it here as failing WP:GNG (no significant independent coverage. The refs cited do not provide such.) --Altenmann >talk 18:47, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

  • Keep. Included and analyzed in several highly-selective databases. NJournals explains why such inclusion is significant coverage. --Randykitty (talk) 21:57, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
    • NJournals does not explain that it is "significant coverage". But here is not the place to discuss this: as I said, WP:NJOURNAL is an essay and it cannot trump WP:GNG. You contributed to Njournals, so why don't you work on the promotion of it to the level of guideline? And during this promotion I will explain its many drawbacks. (And you will contest my arguments and I will contest you counterarguments... And w'all will have fun for several months :-) --Altenmann >talk 22:47, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: History and Science. WCQuidditch 03:14, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep dual whammy of being indexed by Scopus and SSCI. Clear pass of WP:NJOURNALS. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 06:16, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
    • Invalid argument, not based on policies and rejected in several other discussions. Scopus indexes everything which is not nonsense, e.g., "Terra Antartica Reports", therefore it cannot be criterion of notability, only a criterion of scienticity. --Altenmann >talk 15:52, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
      My argument is perfectly valid. That you do not like it is irrelevant. See also WP:1Q. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 23:26, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
      It is not that I do not like it. I wrote it is not based in our notability guidelines. Of course, it is your right to invoke WP:IAR. If you think that WP:NJOURNALS is good to be an argument, please promote it to the level of guideline. --Altenmann >talk 23:49, 10 March 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:NJOURNAL, this journal is indexed by selective databases. Kelob2678 (talk) 10:04, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
