Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wilayat Kirkuk (ISIL)


 * 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 delete all. This discussion included (short) articles, redirects and a template. I am all for due process and evidently I acknowledge that there are specific venues for the redirects and a template; yet I believe keeping the discussion together is better, given that they are linked. Accordingly I ignored that rule, while closing this, and also declided a few speedy deletion requests days ago. I am also closing the related discussions at wp:RfD. - Nabla (talk) 17:06, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Wilayat Kirkuk (ISIL)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

non-notable fictional or entities with limited Reliable Sources to justify an article Legacypac (talk) 19:35, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason. These titles constitute self promotion by a terrorist group, so they should not even stay as redirects:



These last two articles listed are headed for deletion here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Wilayat_al-Dimashq_(ISIL)

a list of 1 person and conflicts with community consensus to not call ISIL a caliphate without qualification

Related action to delete three redirects on above articles for similar reason I seek to delete the pages.

List_of_Islamic_State_Wilayahs was previously deleted. Wilayat Hama (ISIL) has been deleted 2x already.

The "creator" of all these junk articles was just blocked indefinitely under the WP:NOTHERE criteria. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Edit_warring#User:Atifabbasi8_reported_by_User:Legacypac_.28Result:_Indeffed.29 Legacypac (talk) 06:00, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete all articles due to the lack of notability. Noteswork (talk) 05:17, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete all. Some of them are already nominated for deletion. Look at Wilayat al-Dimashq (ISIL) and Wilayat Baghdad (ISIL). Some of the redirects are also nominated. Mhhossein (talk) 05:41, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * delete all- not parts of any recognized government and so fail the criteria of places, no significant coverage by third party sources, only a blog and sometimes a "government press" self published book by the very involved primary party seeking self promotion and recognition fail GNG.  as "places" they are subject to SPEEDY as all having existing articles under the standard name. --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  12:43, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete all without a second look at them. Not notable in any way. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 12:57, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Update: Wilayat_Baghdad_(ISIL) and Wilayat Nineveh (ISIL) have been deleted after successful earlier deletion nominations. ISIL Caliphate was deleted under A-10 by Alexf Legacypac (talk) 23:34, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Snow Delete all None of the listed articles/redirects/template subjects are at all notable. Additionally, the presence of these wilayat is unduly promotional of ISIL's territorial claims, which is justification for deletion per section 4 of WP:RFD.

See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Wilayat_al-Raqqa_(ISIL) now nominated for deletion as well (missed on above list, as has different creator). Legacypac (talk) 07:55, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Update: Wilayat_Barqah_(ISIL) (not listed above) and Wilayat al-Sina (ISIL) (listed above) two were justed deleted after discussion. Legacypac (talk) 17:53, 27 December 2014 (UTC) @ User:Greyshark09 as per the top section, second line, delete everything. Legacypac (talk) 06:55, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - is this a deletion proposal for Wilayat Kirkuk (ISIL) alone, or you are proposing the deletion of the whole bunch of redirects, articles and templates above?GreyShark (dibra) 07:13, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Are you aware that here you can propose only deletion of articles; deletion of redirects and templates should be proposed separately in Redirects for discussion and Templates for discussion?GreyShark (dibra) 07:13, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
 * No, but where is that a rule? Surely the fact these are all very closely connected makes it logical to deal with these together in one discussion as all the other editors above are doing, and as you yourself suggested on one deletion discussion? There is only one template anyway and when these are deleted it will have no more content. Legacypac (talk) 07:23, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
