Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Archaeology

Shortcuts

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

Archaeology

Joshua N. Haldeman

Article has issues with neutrality (seems angled toward showing that the person is less anti-Semitic than sources suggest), is fluffed with unnecessary information, and it seems this person is not sufficiently notable, with the main thing being Elon Musk's grandfather. Calling neurocalometers "a then-controversial expensive device" also seems skewed. Foxsake92 (talk) 22:32, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as creator. Welcome to Wikipedia! It's very unusual for a user's first edits to be an AFD, but that's totally okay!! Do you have suggestions for how we could improve the neutrality? In response to your concerns, neurocalometer sentence has been reworded with attribution rather than wikivoice. As far as Notability goes, Haldeman was famous in his own time for his roles in chiropractic and politics, not because of his descendants -- Notablity is not inherited and the article text never actually mentions Haldeman's grandson, whose life didn't really overlap much with Haldeman's.

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politicians, Archaeology, Medicine, Aviation, South Africa, Canada, and Minnesota. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:14, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This source seems to be a good place to start. Curbon7 (talk) 00:06, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and improve. Coverage on [[[1]]]], [[[2]]], [[[3]]], [[[4]]], suggests the subject is notable enough. Prof.PMarini (talk) 00:54, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article currently cites these sources which each cover Haldeman directly:
- A New Life for Haldeman. 1951. Leader-Post.
- Joshua N Haldeman, DC: the Canadian Years, 1926-1950. 1995. J Can Chiropr Assoc.
- Elon Musk’s Anti-Semitic, Apartheid-Loving Grandfather. 2023. The Atlantic.
- The World According to Elon Musk’s Grandfather. 2023. The New Yorker.

And the other language versions also cite in-depth coverage from CBC News and Business Insider [5]. There are also: [6][7][8][9]. Foxsake92, do you think this meets the criteria at either at Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline (WP:GNG) or Wikipedia:Notability (people) (WP:BIO)? "issues with neutrality" can be handled at the article and its talk page. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 03:20, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first was written by the subject himself and the second by his son; they're not independent. – Joe (talk) 09:47, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
