Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Colombia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion and merging of articles related to Colombia. 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|Colombia|~~~~}} 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 Colombia. 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 South America.

Defunct airport which closed in 1959, not convinced it's notable Danners430 tweaks made 08:59, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

  • Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: Aviation and Colombia. Danners430 tweaks made 08:59, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Strong keep: this was the first airport in South America (according to ) and Colombia's main airport for 30 years; there are plenty of sources online, mostly in Spanish, and doubtless many more offline sources given the era we're talking about. Rosbif73 (talk) 12:33, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
  • Comment (probably delete keep). You claim it was the "first airport in South America": well maybe, your source says it was inaugurated in 1929. Los Cerrillos in Santiago dates from May 1929, so if Techo was first it was by a matter of weeks at most. Incidentally, ref. 1 in the article leads to "Not Found. The requested URL was not found on this server". I'm not impressed. Athel cb (talk) 13:46, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
    I'm not particularly impressed by the current state of the article and its sourcing either, but that's not a reason to delete it. I don't know whether it was the first or not, but we have a source claiming it was, and enough other sources to meet WP:GNG. Rosbif73 (talk) 14:44, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Yes, my "probably delete" was too strong. I've changed it to "probably keep". After all, if Los Cerrillos deserves an article (and I think it does) why not this one? Athel cb (talk) 16:45, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
