Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Greenland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

Greenland

Nivi (given name)


Nivi (given name) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

All three references point to https://www.nordicnames.de/wiki/ , and I don't think this is notable as per guideline in WP:STANDALONE because there aren't enough names of notable individuals with the said name (did a brief search and only came up with Nivi Rosing). But would one name be enough to have a list page dedicated around the name? ABehjat (talk) 01:03, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

Keep As I recall, I created the article because it is one of the most popular names for girls in Greenland. It’s included on the top 10 list at List of most popular given names. I generally try to link each name to separate article explaining the name’s origin and usage. That’s why it’s notable. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 07:27, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

@Bookworm857158367 For clarity, you might want to change your vote to "Keep" if that is what you mean ("Oppose" can be taken as "Oppose the article's existence", ie Delete). PamD 07:46, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

Keep: and I've created Nivi as a dab page rather than a redirect to the bible edition. PamD 08:03, 18 August 2026 (UTC)

  • Weak keeo – There are several notable Nivis who are yet to have English articles, but will at some point, and it seems pointless to delete a sourced page like such with the knowledge that the issue will likely resolve itself within a few years. –Ike Lek (talk) 03:10, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
  • Keep. I've dug up two more Nivis mentioned in linked articles. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:32, 19 August 2026 (UTC)
