Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/United States of America
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion and merging of articles related to United States of America. 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:
- 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|United States of America|~~~~}} 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 United States of America. 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.
| Note: This is a high level category for deletion sorting. Whenever possible, it is recommended for deletion discussions to be added to more specific categories, such as a state and/or relevant subject area. Please review the list of available deletion categories, and see this page's guidelines below for more information. |

Note: This merge proposal was originally opened on the article's talk page. Following the March 2026 RfC, formal merge discussions are now held at AfD rather than the historical Proposed article mergers process (PAM). I've moved the discussion accordingly per WP:TPO.
- Merge proposal (merge Medical racism in the United States into Race and health in the United States)
These two articles effectively cover identical subject matter. While there is a difference in the potential scope of the two article titles, that differentiation is not expressed by the actual content of the articles. Thus, the effective scope of these two articles are identical (duplicative).
Currently the general (non country-specific) title of Medical racism redirects to Race and health, presumably due to the similarly heavy overlap of subject matter two separate articles on those general subjects would undoubtedly create.
A merge between these two articles would remedy the duplication of subject matter. Furthermore: a merge would provide an opportunity for editors to address an issue seeming to plague both of these articles at the moment: the reality that much of their content appears to have been generated by large language models (Artificial Intelligence) rather than by human authors. Other issues, such as improper formatting of citations and outdated statistics, could also be remedied.
It would be preferable for this subject to have a single quality article, rather than the status quo of two plagued articles on duplicative subject matter. SecretName101 (talk) 18:46, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
- As a point for further discussion, I would also recommend possibly spinning-off the topics of Health status of African Americans and Health status of Hispanic and Latino Americans as separate articles where the more lengthy exploration of health specifically pertaining to those two groups can be moved (articles already exist for Health status of Asian Americans and Health status of White Americans). As the current article is lengthy, and those are both subtopics worthy spun-off articles. SecretName101 (talk) 19:03, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

"High-risk freight corridors" isn't a thing, none of the sources use this term and they're not about a single topic (variously about freight corridors in general, high-risk roads in general, and case studies of specific roads). WP:SYNTH / WP:OR violation. ~ A412 talk! 13:55, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

- Strong delete, fails WP:Synth. The article is solely about an "informal term" that appears to never actually be used (based on the provided sources) and then continues to discuss the economics of improving roadways. Looking at the edit history, it was already moved info Draft space previously due to failing WP:Synth with the recommendation that it is not moved into mainspace until it is revised and goes through AfC. Article creator made a very minor change and moved it back themselves. Also lacks notability as a result. FlammablePizza (talk) 16:54, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Notability isn't established through reliable sources to show how this meets WP:NSONG. This song did NOT peak at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 as the article claims; it was #10 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100. I don't think one appearance on that list is much claim to notability without additional support. The sources provided are a broken Billboard.com link (I found it on the site eventually and it's just a video interview); a YouTube video; an X post saying it was #10 on the Bubbling list; and it's not clear if the RatingsGameMusic site is a reliable enough source.
Additional BEFORE search shows some mentions of the song (an article on another song by DDG and PlaqueBoyMax mentions their previous collaboration on this one; an article on PlaqueBoyMax mentions the number of Spotify streams this song got) but I don't see enough to prove its notability.
If kept, significant grammar clean up is needed. Phrasing like "...but the producer's businessman extorted the song to make it trained to Billboard charts" and "DDG announced that would not message his producer of the allegations that have been dropped out" make no coherent sense.

- Redirect to DDG (rapper): seems acceptable, this does not appear to meet musical notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:40, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
- So we know that DDG announced the allegations of his producer and his businessman extorted the song, but why do you have to delete tho. Like it’s a song article, but I didn’t know that the song was peaked at the Billboard Hot 100. The point about this is because it’s usually about the article of song. I didn’t possibly known that this article don’t make no sense, but I can change it. Constrayevan (talk) 05:46, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

- Disclosure: I have a connection to the subject, and my comments here are limited to sourcing and policy.
- Keep. The nomination appears to evaluate the subject only as a current congressional candidate under WP:NPOL. I agree that candidacy alone is not sufficient. However, the article has an independent basis under WP:GNG/WP:BASIC and military-biography considerations. Gray's appointment to brigadier general was Senate-confirmed and is verified by official records, and her senior Army command roles are documented by official military sources. In addition, there is independent regional-media coverage centered on Gray's biography and public profile, not merely routine ballot-listing coverage.
- To the extent the current version contains promotional or resume-like language, that is a fixable article-quality issue. I would support trimming unsourced claims, reducing campaign emphasis, and replacing affiliated or primary sources with independent coverage where available. The better outcome is cleanup and improvement, not deletion.
- Sources supporting the above:
- Creative Loafing Tampa Bay - Independent regional-media article centered on Gray, with substantial discussion beyond a routine candidate listing.
- Tampa Bay Times - Major regional newspaper coverage centered on Gray's public profile and congressional challenge.
- Congress.gov nomination record - Official congressional record verifying Gray's Senate-confirmed appointment to brigadier general; used for factual verification of rank and seniority.
- U.S. Army Reserve official biography - Official source verifying command of the 86th Training Division, senior Army assignments, service history, deployments, and awards.
- DVIDS 2017 AUSA interview - Pre-campaign military-media record identifying Gray as U.S. Army Central's Deputy Commanding General and Director of the Army Reserve Engagement Cell.
- Ecmullen (talk) 20:43, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
- Comment. I don't think being a brigadier general helps meet any of our notability guidelines, but maybe I'm forgetting one. pburka (talk) 12:24, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- Drafity - While I appreciate Ecmullen laying out the current sources, we need multiple, high quality sources that discuss the subject in depth to provide notability under WP:GNG. The Tampa Bay Times and Creative Loafing Tampa Bay would qualify, but the other sources listed are not independent and while they can be used to confirm basic facts (such as appointment to brigadier general), they are not to be used for notability. I do anticipate more coverage as the election comes closer, so I think drafity is the best course here.

Stub that appears to fail WP:NWEB. Interestingly enough, the current version of the article appears to have started as an editor replacing the previous draft (which appears to be LLM-generated).

Old SCOTUS cases aren't always notable, and this one in particular seems to have a real dearth of sourcing.

- Redirect to Volume 113. I'd do it now rather than discussing further, tbh. In 2008, a now-deceased Wikipedian made a bunch of articles for Volume 113 specifically, mostly by copying the decisions without trying to turn them into articles.

- Redirect makes sense to me. I'm no legal scholar or anything, but i expect an article on a US Supreme Court case to say at the outset what makes it important to the public. This one doesn't do that and i have no idea what the heck its about. I was able to dig up only one reference to it, footnote 591(!) of a 1983 law review article , its a just in a list of "local government bond cases" in 1884-85 with no commentary.--Milowent • hasspoken 17:46, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

- I believe there is more significant coverage of Herndon than simple passing mentions in company articles.
- Some of the stronger sources include:
- Time Extension's in-depth interview with Herndon discussing the design, engineering, and development of the Chromatic handheld. The article is centered on Herndon and his work as CEO and lead engineer, rather than merely quoting him in passing.
- Wired's feature on the ModRetro Chromatic, which identifies Herndon as CEO and lead engineer and discusses his engineering philosophy, previous work at Oculus and Anduril, and role in the development of the hardware. The article contains substantial commentary from Herndon and coverage of his contributions to the project.
- Popular Mechanics' review and feature on the Chromatic, which includes a discussion with Herndon regarding the company's goals, preservation philosophy, product strategy, and the development of the platform. The article specifically identifies him as CEO, co-founder, and engineer.
- Additional coverage discussing Herndon's career and leadership role can be found in Observer's reporting on ModRetro, which notes his previous engineering work at Oculus and Anduril and his leadership of the company.
- I agree that routine announcements or brief quotes would not establish notability by themselves. However, the sources above provide substantive coverage of Herndon's career, engineering work, and leadership responsibilities rather than merely mentioning him in passing. Pubmixwiki (talk) 22:05, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
- An interviews is just a transcript of things he said.

The current references are (1) her name in a directory, which is not significant coverage; (2) a blog, which also reads as if written by LLM; (3) FamilySearch, which is a self-published source. There is also, not in the article, an image of a newspaper article about Rieder-Henderson uploaded by the article creator, titled "Neither Bearded Nor Booted". This initially looked more promising, but as far as I can read the slightly blurry text, it relies on information from her employer and has the purpose of advertising a course.

Yes, the 18k citations and h-index of 57 look strong, but in NLP/ML, which also happens to be currently the most citation-inflated field in academia, the number is solid rather than distinguishing. His top-cited works are nearly all surveys and reviews (deep learning for NLP, network anomaly detection, etc.), which attract citations as convenient references, not as original contributions. WP:NPROF#C1 asks for a specific concept or method widely attributed to him, and there isn't one.

WP:BLP of a musician, not properly referenced as passing WP:NMUSIC. The attempted notability claim here is "member of two independently notable bands", which would be fine if the article were properly sourced but is not an automatic notability freebie that exempts a person from having to have any reliable sources -- however, the only footnote present here at all is a very short "our contributors" sketch on the self-published website of a book he contributed to, a primary source that is not support for notability.
It also warrants note that an anonymous IP recently attempted to hijack this article to be about a different Adam Nathanson than it currently is, which was also relying entirely on unreliable sourcing (including circular citations to other Wikipedia articles) rather than anything GNG-worthy. (This obviously isn't a deletion criterion in and of itself, but the fact that it stood like that for three days, before I found it only because the IP had tried to file the hijacked rewrite in redlinked categories that accordingly showed up on the redlinked category cleanup report today, does kind of imply that the page isn't being very carefully watched.)
So I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with more expertise can actually find proper sourcing to support his standalone notability -- but he needs a lot more than just a contributing blurb on a directly affiliated blog. Bearcat (talk) 14:14, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

- I’ll add some references later today and you can see what you think. Best, CCS81 (talk) 14:56, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
- Merge to Life's Blood: Nathanson seems to have just bubbled under the minimum coverage to satisfy NPERSON. However, he's definitely a real and somewhat influential musician. I'm inclined to treat this and this as reliable sources that emphasize his role in the early New York City hardcore scene as a member of Life's Blood. Merging anything relevant from the extant article and adding material from those sources could help flesh out the band's article. His later works can be discussed briefly there, but they too are insuffiicient to establish individual notability. I'm a bit disappointed I couldn't find enough to justify retaining a separate article on Nathanson, considering his appreciation within certain circles. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:59, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
- Keep: since Nathanson was a prominent member of three groups listed as influential in the sources (as well as a less-prominent member of a fourth), having his own article seems most appropriate. I added six sources, for now. CCS81 (talk) 17:16, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
- With respect, those sources do not at all establish notability, nor does the !vote you made. This is probably an RS with arguably SIGCOV of Nathanson, but it's thin on the ground and is more a piece of possibly expert commentary than anything else (sadly, it's also the second-best source). This is an interview—a type of piece that generally can't contribute towards notability—with someone else and it focuses on the Life's Blood; Nathanson is only ever mentioned in passing. This is a piece on an interview that barely mentions Nathanson. This gets pretty close to SIGCOV, too, but it again focuses on the bands Nathanson was associated with. This is a trivially small blurb insufficient to qualify as SIGCOV due to the type of source. This is the best source, but it's again a brief profile in a listicle of brief profiles published to a standard that may or may not be RS. This is a primary source. You're right: he's been in a few bands. And I've worked for some very small but notable organizations and had my name occasionally published. I don't meet NPERSON, and neither does Nathanson.

They film the show in the elder Osbournes’ basement with a small crew, for safety’s sake, and spend an hour each week cracking wise on the strangest videos that Jack and his production team can find, in an attempt to make everyone question reality and creep each other out.

- It should be noted that none of the pages in that category (other than this one) are about political organizations or parties. Post-1992 American politics is a contentious topic. With topics like the BBC and Wikipedia, the possibility of a dedicated controversy article becoming a WP:POVFORK is not as high as in an article about a political party, in which editors will have vastly differing opinions on said party.

- Seconding this point. No major political party in the Anglosphere has a standalone controversy page or even a controversy section. Just because this article has 31 sources, the vast majority of which are just highlighting positions that diverge from the American political mainstream, doesn't mean it is worth keeping. Amtoastintolerant (talk) 15:32, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
- Keep absolutely no sense to merge this notable, well-sourced article, and having similar articles in common practice anyway, so this is not even a close call. ScottyNolan (talk) 12:39, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
- Can you highlight a similar article to this? I cannot find a major political party in the Anglosphere that has an entire controversy article, let alone even a controversy section. As Lovelyfurball mentioned Post-1992 American politics is a contentious topic, and most of the article's sources just highlight political positions that diverge from the political mainstream, or just routine coverage of peoples' disagreement with the organization. Amtoastintolerant (talk) 15:32, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
- Keep. This article already meets WP:NLIST and WP:GNG. It is also pretty narrowly scoped to verifiable controversies involving DSA with plentiful citations to WP:RSs. The WP:POVFORK argument does not hold water, as Gjb0zWxOb articulated. Any NPOV or sourcing issues in the lead or particular entries should be fixed through normal editing rather than deletion or merger. Merging would likely lead to a significant loss of sourced detail. Furthermore, the current structure by caucus aids neutrality. The article also includes criticism from the left, right, Zionists, and DSA members themselves, which makes a strong case for neutrality. Redvelvetvanilaaaaaaaaa (talk) 14:24, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
- Delete or draftify.
- The lede violates WP:NPOV. Example: The lede picture, baldly captioned "The DSA has received criticism for defending antisemitic violence as anti-Zionist resistance", shows New Students for a Democratic Society protesters against the Iran war.
- The article violates WP:CSECTION. DSA doesn't even have a history article yet: History of the Democratic Socialists of America is a redirect. This article could fit into a draft of that article, such as Draft:History of the Democratic Socialists of America, but the current article is almost entirely negative coverage, against CSECTION:
"best practice is to incorporate positive and negative material into the same section"
.
- SocDoneLeft (talk) 14:47, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:LISTCRIT. What makes something a "controversy?" If Bob the Janitor in Skokie got upset at something the DSA did, is that a controversy? I don't see any sane way of having reasonable inclusion criteria here. Any potential merging should be extremely selective, too. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:26, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
- Delete Fails WP:NLIST and WP:POVFORK, and there are no analogous articles to this one. The author's argument for why this is not a POV fork isn't very persuasive, as it reveals that this is the only page of its kind for a political organization of any type, be it a party or a PAC or a caucus or otherwise. That may come off as an WP:OSDE argument, but it's not hard to see why we've never had an article like this, there's a reason why we don't have "List of (Democratic / Republican) party controversies" articles. Just as sometimes other stuff exists for a reason, this is a case of "sometimes other stuff doesn't exist for a reason." This page simply consists of every time anyone has ever criticized the DSA, regardless of whether the person or organization making the criticism is themselves notable. That is just not a good idea for a Wikipedia article. The only material here that can't be better covered elsewhere is material that would be undue on any article (which is most of it to be clear, which is why I don't favor merging. most of the page is trivial and would not belong on the main DSA article either). That is what it means for something to be a WP:CFORK, it is a page that, whether intentionally or unintentionally, only serves
to avoid a neutral point of view (including undue weight), often to avoid or highlight negative or positive viewpoints or facts
.
- I am skeptical that this article can be fixed through normal editing. Per WP:POVFORK, even a "criticism of" article needs to provide a balance and include both merits and faults. Would it even be possible to include the other side of the story for any of the criticisms listed here? The whole page was constructed by simply finding negative articles that mention the DSA and cobbling them all together. This clearly fails WP:NLIST for that reason. The list of criticisms as a whole has not been discussed by reliable sources - it has not
been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources
- it's just a google search for"criticized" "democratic socialists of america"

Content which would go in this type of article is best included at the main article to reduce the possibility of the dedicated "controversies" article becoming a POVFORK. Certain parts of this article, like including "endorsement of Hamas" in the lede without explaining that only a single caucus was involved in that specific controversy, are examples of why this sort of article is best merged into the main one.

- Delete or merge I see no reason that this should be its own article. Many of these controversies listed are hardly significant enough to write about. I am also concerned with the article's neutrality. The article is written very directly and matter-of-factly. For example, "Some of these controversies include endorsement of Hamas..." is written instead of "DSA has been accused of endorsing of Hamas" or something like that. I am not opposed to there being a controversy section in the main DSA article but it should be massively condensed and rewritten if implemented. Atich9 (talk) 02:34, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

- Delete per arguments made by SocDoneLeft and Vanilla_Wizard. Emphasizing that this is a political organization of 100,000+ members, and several of the sections of this article either do not highlight anything that created a notable controversy (ex. the inadequately titled "2022 support for North Korea", "2024 revocation of AOC endorsement", "2021 Jamaal Bowman Israel trip). Several others solely indicate individual person's disputes with the organization (the entire Post-October 7th departures section). Much of the current article is also tangential to DSA as a whole (ex. "2025 People's Summit", "October 8, 2023 Rally". I believe this article is unworkable in its current state, and largely devoted to highlighting fairly routine political disagreements common in the political realm. Amtoastintolerant (talk) 06:28, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
- Keep These are notable controveries particularly the affilaition with groups connected to the DPRK. The AOC controversy also got significant coverage by mainstream press, as did the celebration of October 7th. This article is not a WP:POVFORK. Agnieszka653 (talk) 02:44, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
- Why isn't it a POVFORK? The well-regarded essay WP:Criticism explains that a section/article dedicated only to criticisms or controversies of a topic can't possibly be neutral because it only reports one viewpoint on the topic: negative viewpoints.

This article starts right off the bat with serious NPOV violations in arguing that the DSA has supported antisemitic violence; written in biased, pro-Israel language that affirms such allegations rather than qualifying them as described. The page's contents, with the exception of the Reed cancellation which seems to be fit for being merged to the main article, all focus on these allegations by pro-Israel outlets, making it seem like this article would be more appropriately titled as "Allegations of antisemitism in DSA."

I appreciate many of the comments about the structure of the article, but the opportunity for cleanup exists once this discussion is closed.

- KEEP - The DSA page is already long. I ask: would merging this page make it more readable or less? A fork is usually a concern either for dodging consensus or because duplicating the same information in two different places risks distortion. This criticism information appears unique and stands well on its own page. There is a link from the DSA page to the controversies page and vice versa. I think adding all of this content will make the DSA page harder to read.

- Delete The page has a number of NPOV issues. For example, the 2022 section on lifting the North Korean travel ban (the DSA press criticizes the use of sanctions generally) is titled "2022 support for North Korea." The anti-Israel travel pledge is considered a controversy on the page. According to whom? Why was weight given to moderate Democrats who are not part of the organization? It also isn't clear that some of these caucuses are given due weight. Is the Red Star Caucus large enough to be highlighted in two large paragraphs? I had not even heard of it before today. Several of the sources don't even mention the group. Catboy69 (talk) 18:39, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
- +1 What qualifies as a "controversy" on this page is an important issue here. There is a difference between a controversy and a criticism. They both still need to be handled with care and the same neutrality policies apply either way, but we define a controversy as a prolonged public dispute or disagreement - is there even anything in the article that qualifies as one? This page is an WP:INDISCRIMINATE compilation of one-off criticisms (often from non-notable people/groups), not prolonged scandals. In the example you give, the criticism is just a single sentence,
The survey was criticized [...]
. No prolonged criticism, no fallout or consequences, no response to the criticism, no controversy. Just "x was criticized." That's not notable enough to be included in a criticisms & controversies section, much less to be WP:SPLIT off into a standalone article, and many other sections of the page are no different. Editors just saying something to the effect of "the page is sourced" should keep in mind thatmerely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia

- Keep: I find@Dream Focus argument persuasive. The article does cite from the mainstream medias and list notable controversies that all backed by reliable sources. Merging this all to another article will create an encyclopedic gap, because the controversies are detailed enough to justify standalone treatment, and also will be mess to the article it well get merge to since much of this sourced detail would still need to be preserved.Instant History (talk) 09:52, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
- Delete or Merge. I was originally on the side of Keep and thought the clear violation of WP:NPOV throughout the article could be fixed, but I was convinced by Amtoastintolerant's and Vanilla Wizard's arguments that no major political party has an entire controversy article dedicated to it, and the existence of one is WP:POVFORK. If this article is kept, it would be fair play to have a List of Republican Party controversies and a List of Democratic Party controversies, and either would be 20 times longer than the DSA article. Sure, the current article is backed by reliable sources, but this would also apply to "list of controversies" articles about the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Felinaex (purr / pawprints) 23:20, 30 May 2026 (UTC)
- Keep. Topic itself does not lack encyclopedic value under WP:N. If current selection is incomplete, remedy is expansion and balancing under WP:UNDUE, not deletion. Concerns should be addressed through editing and refinement rather than removal under WP:ATD. Content is curable and it is not evident that the topic is inherently non-encyclopedic. Textcurator (talk) 09:49, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: Would the Keep voters be opposed to this article being renamed to "Allegations of antisemitism in DSA?" There's only two non-Israel controversies here and they can easily be merged back into the main article. It would still be an article riddled with problems, but at least the scope of this article will be appropriately narrowed down. It would also need a section like Antisemitism in the British Labour Party does that cites sources that criticizes such allegations to maintain balance. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 00:28, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: The rationales expressed here for a delete/merge of this page are simply to the effect of "controversies do not require a page" or "What is a controversy anyway?", when the tone adopted by multiple WP:GREL address these incidents in a manner which suggests that they are contentious issues causing public furore rather than mere criticism levied by a party on the subject. An example: The headline of this NYT source
"A Black Marxist Scholar Wanted to Talk About Race. It Ignited a Fury."
The fact that coverage of this nature exists is proof enough for the events listed here to be regarded as "controversial". The argument that this article is a WP:POVFORK is not sound as the page is quite explicit with respect to what it intends to cover and the information present here thoroughly meets WP:GNG and is in alignment with the sources. There is nothing presented here which is an alternate take or perspective on information that exists elsewhere. In fact, the page Democratic Socialists of America must have a section that summarizes the content of this article. Two essays to take into consideration while arriving at a conclusion here are WP:DOESNTBELONG and WP:OTHERSTUFFGENERAL. An apparent lack of precedent is not a reason enough per se to delete or merge an article. signed, Kvinnen (talk) 19:15, 1 June 2026 (UTC)- My comment is based on the definition of "controversy" per Cambridge Dictionary: a lot of disagreement or argument about something, usually because it affects or is important to many people. signed, Kvinnen (talk) 19:29, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
The rationales expressed here for a delete/merge of this page are simply to the effect of "controversies do not require a page" or "What is a controversy anyway?"
I'm going to assume good faith and assume you wrote this without having read the delete !votes. No, the delete rationales are that this page fails WP:NLIST, WP:LISTCRIT, WP:POVFORK, and WP:INDISCRIMINATE, the former of which I've still not seen any keep !voters address. Standalone list articles have their own notability criteria. The list needs to be discussed as a group for the standalone list to be warranted:Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; and other guidelines on appropriate stand-alone lists. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been. Because the group or set is notable, the individual entries in the list do not need to be independently notable, although editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists through methods such as only including entries for independently notable items.
- This simply isn't the case for this topic, and still nobody has attempted to demonstrate that DSA controversies have been discussed as a group by reliable sources. It's disappointing to see even experienced editors just arguing that this page has to be kept because it cites its sources, while completely ignoring the relevant policies that determine what sourced material is actually notable and belongs on Wikipedia.
An apparent lack of precedent is not a reason enough per se to delete or merge an article
The fact that no article directly analogous to this one has ever existed is a very relevant consideration as even criticism/controversy sections are generally frowned upon (and the fact that no such section existed before this page was created means there wasn't even anything to WP:SPLIT off of), but the lack of precedent is far from the only reason why this shouldn't be an article.- Vanilla Wizard 💙 20:24, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
- Delete or potentially merge with major revisions. As Vanilla Wizard commented, this is the only page of its kind for a political organization. Additionally, despite the DSA's 44-year history, this article nearly only focuses on Israel/Palestine-related controversies going back only six years. I agree with Personisinsterest that this article could be added to the main DSA article, but it would need significant revisions to avoid violating WP:NPOV. Even then, I am skeptical that a section like this could maintain NPOV (see WP:Criticism). Dofrg (talk) 23:31, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Keep A few policies I would cite include WP:GNG and WP:Verifiability. DSA is a controversial and radical organization and they posit themselves as such. In a world where pushing the limits is what gets things done this not a strike against them necessarily but a statement of proper context. They would not arguably be as effective or noteworthy without controversy. Their controversies are not solely tied to Israel/Palestine as has been insinuated above. The page can be improved but this not enough to justify deletion. The DSA has previously advocated for abolishing the police and prison systems on a city-wide and national level. They position themselves as a radical organization especially on college campuses. I speak from experience, this is how an organization like this would differentiate itself from the university Democrats for example. But this does not come without its questions, worries, or accusations. In terms of notoriety and track record the page should stay up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AadamentAardvark (talk • contribs) 01:50, 3 June 2026 (UTC)
- Delete the article in its current form is a textbook violation of WP:POVFORK and WP:NLIST. Standalone list articles strictly require that the group or set as a whole has been discussed by independent RS as a distinct, cohesive phenomenon. This article is an indiscriminate compilation built by cobbling together entirely disparate news stories. A standalone list is not automatically granted notability if the grouping itself has never been treated as a unified subject by independent coverage. The article also relies on severe WP:UNDUE and neutrality violations, as it systematically leverages the actions and statements of tiny, non-notable internal factions, some with negligible membership, to frame a national organization of over 100,000 members. Elevating the fringe rhetoric of groups like the Liberation Caucus, whose views the article explicitly admits do not reflect the wider organization, into a standalone national "DSA controversy" page directly violates WP:PROPORTION. The lead also states as a matter of absolute, un-attributed fact in wikivoice that the DSA's controversies include the "endorsement of Hamas" and "justifying antisemitic violence". The actual body of the article shows no broad organizational consensus for these actions. And the lead image caption uses highly loaded, completely unsourced wording asserting that the organization has received criticism for "allegedly defending antisemitic violence as anti-Zionist resistance". This frankly reads as an WP:ATTACK page. Ultimately, because its very scope is structurally designed to violate NPOV by isolating only negative viewpoints, it violates WP:CSECTION and is fundamentally uncurable as a standalone entity.

Something like Graham Webb above is not significant coverage at all but a database entry with a one-line plot summary. Beck, which you consider "significant coverage", is also a plot summary. What you consider "critical analysis" is a two-line commentary which can easily be included in the main Bosko article.

- Delete. I guess that what we look for in terms of citations has changed, but he is below what is generally a pass of WP:NPROF#C1 at AfC or AfD in physics in 2026; an h-factor of 32 with 3.6K citation is low for the high citation areas he works in. I confess that I am surprised by the prior AfD statements that he passed WP:NPROF#C1 back in 2020, particularly as his citations must have been lower. I would say that his citations are at about the level of an associate professor in an R1 US Physics Department. He is quite competitive at the full professor level for the R2 University he belongs to. Note that I see no mention of a Chair anywhere, plus there would need to be strong justification for a chair at an R2 University to qualify for C5. To complete the case, being a member of a society is not a qualification for C3, I saw no awards in his CV that might contribute to C2 or SIGCOV.Ldm1954 (talk) 04:18, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

- Comment. The 2nd nomination closed as a keep partly because it was far too close to the first nomination. The 1st nomination did not end in a resounding consensus. I !voted keep at the earlier nominations, but I do think we're expecting somewhat higher citation counts now than we did in 2020; Ldm1954 is also surely is better at evaluating track records in physics than I am. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 13:43, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Seven publications with triple-digit citation counts is still enough to push me to the positive side of borderline for WP:PROF#C1. I don't think NYAS membership counts for #C3, though, and there seems to be nothing else. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:46, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
- Well yes, I agree that the specific forsterite laser papers are quite foundational to Cr:forsterite as a tunable near-IR solid-state laser medium... but out of the seven you quoted, three are not standard research papers. one is a US patent, another is a trade-magazine feature in Optics and Photonics News, and the other an Annals NYAS proceedings piece with discussion. Of the remaining four, are the chromium-doped forsterite lasing papers I mentioned which are also from the same group in 1988-89, so they in a way reflect one collaborative result rather than sustained independent impact which to me does not really seem to count towards C1. Gayen is not first author on any of the high-citation works and plus this field of his especially it being applied physics is already a high citation one, so this is to be expected. Also at this point Gayen appears as a middle-author research associate early in his career, this specific citation trace to one collaborative project of his, rather than to a solely independent body of work. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 04:57, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
- Comment. :Hey apologies @Ldm1954. I was using my phone so couldn’t quite summarise based on Wikipedia:BEFORE in length, but thanks for summing it all up beautifully. Just adding on, physics is generally a high citation field so his metrics (h-index 32, 3,670 total cites) are respectable but to be expected. C1 typically requires evidence of clear impact above the field average in general. So far there is No major awards, named chair, or distinguished professorship, so C2 and C5 are definitely not met. He is described as a "member" of APS, OSA, and NYAS rather than a Fellow, so C3 does not apply (ordinary membership fyi anre open application). Serving as department chair at CCNY does not satisfy C6, either as generally this is for university-level leadership (president, provost, etc.). Full professor status alone is not sufficient under Wikipedia:Notability (academics), and the sourcing is also extremely thin… a faculty profile, a thesis record, and a Google Scholar page, none of which are independent secondary coverage for WP:GNG. There is not much available online either. As I see it this is just another case of Wikipedia:Too soon well yes he is on the trajectory but not notable yet… As of now it will make sense to delete and recreate it if he passes the guidelines. I’m just surprised the other AfDs passed without more scrutiny. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 23:59, 17 May 2026 (UTC)
- Physics is not homogeneous enough to say that it is a high citation field without being more specific. To get a better feel for his research impact I tried a Google Scholar search for forsterite (a repeating and specific keyword in Gayen's publications) and found most of the top citation counts to be in the low triple digits, comparable with Gayen's top publications. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:28, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
- David Eppstein, he works in experimental solid state physics/materials science which are both high citation fields. For instance, look at the last two of his research areas in GS ( the first two are too narrow), nanoscience and nonlinear optics. Forsterite is a compound of not that major interest; perhaps try olivine, rutile as two more common compounds, and perovskite as one of the most important. However, in general compounds are much too narrow topics. Ldm1954 (talk) 10:03, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

- Weak delete. I !voted weak keep and (procedurally) keep respectively in the previous AfDs. Looking again, I see several highly cited papers, but two of them are also pretty highly coauthored (with the subject as middle author in a field where that matters). I may have gotten a little more deletionist as time goes on, or perhaps Wikipedia has become a little stricter, but looking at this citation record, I am (weakly) won over by Ldm1954's arguments against notability. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 11:57, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
- Delete – insufficient coverage. Even if there were more articles or citations than there are, there is insufficient independent sourcing to support the existence of an encyclopedia article. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 01:30, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- Delete: Per Ldm1954. Subject does not pass WP:NPROF. Weighing in "Keep" because of the outcome of two previous AFDs does not seem a great rationale, as consensus can change. WP:NACADEMIC #1 also has the addition of "as demonstrated by independent reliable sources". I could not find sources to advance basic notability for a stand-alone article. -- Otr500 (talk) 00:51, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
- What that phrasing means in practice is "as demonstrated by citations from publications by other people". Those citations are independent reliable sources. (They are not in-depth but the text does not say anything about depth.) As in the hundreds of independent reliable sources for each of Gayen's top-cited publications. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:14, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

- Delete: It is a memorial. It is missing significant coverage in reliable and independent sources. The article goes from a one-sentence lead straight into a Death" and then a "Legacy" section. One source is titled, "R.I.P. Trouble T-Roy: Family & Friends Still Reminisce 20 Years Later". The first Allmusic reference only lists the subject's name, "Died", "Genre", and "Member Of". The L.A. Times Archives source is mainly about the accident. The last Allmusic source is titled "Heavy D Biography by Steve Huey". It has passing mention of Trouble T-Roy's fall and death.

- Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

The article notes: "Today we meet Eric Chen, the CEO and cofounder of financial blockchain Injective Foundation. ... Over the past seven years, Injective has grown to a $1.34 billion company—and at 26 years old, Chen is just getting started. More impressively, he launched the company at just 19 while enrolled in New York University. Chen was studying finance and mining Ethereum in his dorm room, all while interning at Innovating Capital on a hedge fund desk. The then-teenager was inspired to launch Injective after witnessing the inefficiencies of the traditional market, so he dropped out of NYU and started building his billion-dollar business. ... Because of his business’s massive growth, Chen says he can’t remember a time when he was fully away from his work. The CEO’s fun luxury gadgets—including a $2,900 mattress cover, Oura ring, and racing simulator—help keep him sane, he says, in the thick of his busy schedule. He never buys groceries, opting to eat out in New York City or DoorDash his food. Taking very few swanky vacations, he lives a globe-trotting lifestyle through his business, with trips to Seoul, London, Toronto, Abu Dhabi, and Singapore this year."

The article notes: "When Eric Chen went to NYU in 2016, he pictured going into finance or tech after graduating. Then he found he could spend hours learning about blockchain technology without getting bored, and decided to immerse himself in that space rather than stay in college. In the fall of 2018, Chen took a leave of absence from NYU and started Injective, a decentralized crypto exchange platform. Chen saw the moment as a once-in-a-generation opportunity for a young person like him to contribute to a nascent space without much prior experience. Chen faced challenges like investors not buying into decentralized exchanges, and he said not having a degree probably didn't help his case. However, when the industry blew up in 2020, the company was able to raise a seed round, and Chen decided not to go back to NYU."

- Okay, let's try to work out what happened here. Eric Chen has been deleted many times.
- The first deletion, in 2005, was irrelevant - it was deleted as A7 but G10 would have been more appropriate
- The two 2008 deletions are about a High School student from California.
- The 2018 deletion starts with:
Eric Chen is an Associate Professor and Counseling Psychologist of the graduate school of education at Fordham University.
, and actually seems to be a different person despite my claim above. - The 2024 deletion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eric Chen (2nd nomination)) is the same person:
Eric Chen is a cryptography researcher, scientist and co-founder of Injective Labs, focusing on development of cryptography related technologies
- This popped up on my radar when looking at a report for titles created as a variant capitalization of a salted title, as Eric chen (lowercase c) is salted. That page was deleted 3 times.
- The 2005 deletion is essentially the same article as the 2005 deletion of the uppercase C person.
- The first 2016 deletion was as a copy of Eric Schmidt.
- The second 2016 deletion was yet another unrelated person:
Eric (Zhonghen) Chen is a serial entrepreneur, student, and Hong Kong Top Ten Young Persons Nominee
- If I had known all of this I wouldn't have started this AfD. But despite all of this I'm not withdrawing as I still think it's best that this suspicious WP:GAMENAMEd article either be deleted or its existence be ratified by possible community consensus.

- This subject is notable for the event that took place. Maybe instead of deletion, we could rename and rewrite the article a bit better to fit the incident? ReelCosmix (talk) 21:26, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

- Delete: per nom, fails WP:BLP1E, this person was not notable until they were arrested and charged, and no indication their charges meet WP:NCRIME either. MidnightMayhem (talk) 21:23, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
- Delete: Non-notable person before the alleged crime. Per BLP1E, NOTNEWS, and RECENTISM. All 18 references are different versions of the same news. -- Otr500 (talk) 06:19, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

I have done a little digging, and there doesn't seem to be any coverage by any other reliable source not already cited. After these findings, I do not believe this show is notable and therefore, the article should be deleted. CabinetCavers----DEPOSIT OPINION, [valued customer] 17:23, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

- Comment I found this write up in CBS about the show: []. Agnieszka653 (talk) 15:29, 18 May 2026 (UTC)
- Delete: It did pop back up in an article last year, but it wasn't the main focus, merely an aside. So that makes two articles' worth of significant coverage, one of middling coverage. I think that fails GNG. AntiDionysius (talk) 13:49, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
- week keep The two sources in the article plus the two mentioned here get us over the WP:N bar IMO. That's three articles of significant coverage (two from CBS, so only 2 different sources if that matters) plus one mention is probably enough. Hobit (talk) 00:36, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
