Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Theme (arts)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Theme (narrative). Content can be merged from history, and the article can be recreated if adequate sources are found. Contrary to what SailingInABathTub asserts, the nomination cites two policy-based reasons for deletion.  Sandstein  07:38, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Article has been unsourced since 2006. Notability of topic is in question. Coin945 (talk) 05:33, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep, the nominator does not propose a valid WP:DEL-REASON. The nominator does not say which notability guideline this article fails to meet. SailingInABathTub (talk) 10:29, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete This in a dictionary defintion not an encyclopedia article. I very much applaud the nominator for finally being willing to stand up to some of these unsourced articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:10, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * There is still an open merge discussion on the article’s talk page. We should at least acknowledge that. 75.34.24.18 (talk) 02:52, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. This one is a bit hard. It's a generic concept that seems like it should be notable, but the article is unsourced (WP:OR), and my quick BEFORE failed to find anything. Now this is something I'd hope some of the inclusionist rescuers could take interest in, although as it is not a comic book character or likewise fan trivia, I am not sure how likely this is to happen. IF better sources are found, do ping me so I can reconsider my vote. Right now, however, I am thinking WP:TNT due to 100% OR issues, no prejducie to this being recreated one day with sources etc. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 05:44, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge per the discussion that has languished since Novemeber 2020. Some times I think we should change AfD to Articles for discussion, like CfD is Categories for discussion, because discussions of renames and especially mergers often languish in ignored obscurity. I mean merger discussions should not last 4 months unless there is a lot of discussion. I am not sure the target is exactly the same, but at least it has sources.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:03, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * , Given the lack of references, I find merging problematic. Are we merging OR or hoaxes? Who's to tell if there are no refs? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:33, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Do you seriously think this is a hoax? In any case, this title arguably covers the broadest scope among the similar articles, so content could perhaps be moved TO this page. Lots of pages link here, so at least a redirect would be useful. 75.34.27.208 (talk) 03:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge with Theme (narrative) and Subject (music), without prejudice to eventual recreation. There just isn't enough here to justify a standalone article; it's a vague enough subject that it's obviously notable enough and could obviously be fleshed out by a sufficiently motivated editor, but a subject with this little content written about it doesn't really need to be split across three articles. jp×g 03:24, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Redeict to Theme (narrative). If people can find sources to support alterations or changes to the scope they are free to do so. I am not really sure there is much here to merge anyway, so I am not sure there is a real distinction between merge and redirect at this point.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:07, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
