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

Checca sauce (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

First of all, the title of the page is incorrect because "checca sauce" seems to be unknown in Italy, and in fact the article immediately refers to the pasta dish, namely pasta alla checca (https://www.cucchiaio.it/ricetta/pasta-checca/). Coming to the point, we had previously deleted the pages pasta all'ortolana and bomba calabrese because they weren't encyclopedic; I propose to do the same thing with this article.

• Delete A cooking style for a dish doesn't mean a particular combination of ingredients is a sauce. Reywas92^Talk 14:58, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Somewhere, somewhen, someone named Francesca is fuming at not being properly credited. (I assume that it's not one of the other possible meanings.) But, from having had a look around, no-one seems to know who; or gives an explanation. (Or provide firm confirmation that it's a Francesca.) There simply is no sourcing available on this. It is unverifiable. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 01:27, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
