- 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|South Dakota|~~~~}} 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 South Dakota. 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:BIO1E/WP:BLP1E/WP:NCRIMINAL; the crime should be covered and not him, so this could be moved to Murder of Stephen Anderson instead of deleted, but his crime fails WP:NEVENT. It only received brief and not particularly in depth coverage while the trial was ongoing and no retrospectives; the only reason the crime got any coverage is because of his insane tattoos. Skinhead criminal murders corrections officer. PARAKANYAA (talk) 06:51, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

- Weak keep, would possibly support a move to Murder of Stephen Anderson or perhaps even State v. Allgier, though. The legal aspects of the case are what received the most WP:SUSTAINED coverage, particularly with the fact that the Utah Supreme Court held that he forfeited his right to legal counsel. See e.g. .
- There is coverage from 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015, 2017 about various aspects of his legal appeals, so if kept the article should be edited to reflect this. Katzrockso (talk) 18:47, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
- Murder appeals are pretty routine, no? If every murder case that has its appeals covered is notable I struggle to see what murders aren't. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:09, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
- Yes, many murder appeals are covered, but one that results in what is commonly considered a fundamental right (the right to an attorney) in the USA to be stripped is not routine. Katzrockso (talk) 19:47, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
- Eh, I don't think a paragraph and a wire story is much in terms of coverage. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:48, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
