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

Fails WP:NEVENT. All source is breaking news or trial stuff, no retrospection, once the trial was over it was seemingly never discussed again. Interestingly, not a case of recentism (all sourcing is from 1925) PARAKANYAA (talk) 14:57, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I'm not sure I understand what you are expecting for this article. This murder happened a century ago. Her father was convicted of her murder. Are you looking for an Aftermath section at the bottom? Can you link a similar article that is written the way you think this should be? — Maile (talk) 21:21, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Appears to be a routine event, even if it was 100 yrs ago. Guy does bad thing, goes to trial, gets jailed. Like the other two murders discussed in the final paragraph, it got media attention, so was sensationalized. Nothing notable about the media hyping up a story to sell papers. Oaktree b (talk) 22:08, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A search on Trove reveals lots of local coverage from 1925 but nothing after that and nothing with any real depth. Seems to fail WP:NEVENT. For it to be notable, I would expect to see some kind of WP:LASTING coverage published more than a couple of months after the murder, and some coverage that goes beyond the routine details of the trial. For instance, the Gun Alley Murder is a somewhat similar Australian murder case from the same period, and its sources very clearly demonstrate its notability by comparison.

This article is supposedly about an industry association for English language schools in Australia, but contains almost no information about the actual association. Instead, almost the entire article reads as an unsourced advert/guide for how to apply to English language courses in Australia. I wasn't able to find anything to suggest that the organisation itself would meet WP:GNG - their media releases are sometimes quoted in specialist publications, but there doesn't seem to be any secondary SIGCOV. The title could potentially be turned into a redirect for either English Australians or Australian English? MCE89 (talk) 09:33, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I replaced the questionable unsourced content with new content and secondary sources. It now meets notability and has adequate sources for a stub class article. Rublamb (talk) 22:24, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Definitely a massive, massive improvement, thank you for that! I've had a look at the new sources, but I'm not really convinced that they're sufficient to demonstrate notability. Of the new sources, the only secondary sources that go beyond very brief mentions of English Australia/the ELICOS Association are the articles in The Koala and The PIE News, both of which are pretty niche publications on international education. The PIE News one is solid, but The Koala essentially repeats the content of an appeal that English Australia sent to its members and ends with "The Koala wishes English Australia well in the running of its campaign", so I'm unsure of whether this really counts as significant coverage from an outlet independent of the subject, or to what extent The Koala is a reliable source. So of the new sources the only one that seems to me like it can be counted towards notability is the article in PIE, which wouldn't be enough to meet GNG. MCE89 (talk) 23:23, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi CycloneYoris - I have added sources in the Reference Tab. Is this not sufficient enough? They are from official sporting organisations. Tp767 (talk) 00:07, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For a BLP article especially, the subject must be covered in-depth by multiple in-depth secondary, independent, reliable sources. See WP:RS, WP:V, and WP:N for more information. The editing must also be done by neutral editors with no connection to the subject. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 12:29, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - several sections completely unreferenced and fails WP:SPORTBASIC. Footballer is a semi-pro. Every single reference provided thus far is a database source like Transfermarkt, Sofascore, Flashscore and Tuttocampo with zero prose coverage. I was unable to find any news articles on Thomas Petrovski in a WP:BEFORE search. The article is filled with WP:OR from top to bottom and the creator has failed to respond to requests to disclose WP:UPE and/or WP:COI. Strong delete. Spiderone(Talk to Spider)00:43, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi - I've just added additional sources to justify the pending requests. They're primary sources that give a definitive response to my profile - player and character. Could you please confirm if this is sufficient enough and if not give me a better answer then 'denied' Tp767 (talk) 03:22, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is very important - if you are Thomas Petrovski or are a close associate of his, please declare your conflict of interest and refrain from doing any direct edits to this article. You may suggest edit requests through the talk page or perform an uncontroversial edit per WP:COI. KnowledgeIsPower9281 (talk) 04:30, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No sourcing found in Google or Gnews, what's now in the article is only directory listings or primary sources. Non-notable player. Oaktree b (talk) 02:21, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot find any significant coverage in reliable sources. They premiered a music video on HM, but there's no other significant news coverage or reviews or such from that publication. I checked Cross Rhythms as well, as sometimes Google skips that source lately, but there's nothing there at all. Also important to note that the article creator, User:Metalworker14, was recently banned for undisclosed paid editing, and a connection was established between the individual from that account and working for Rottweiler Records, a label the band here in question was signed to. 3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 18:40, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails GNG and appears to be a part of public relations editing possibly related to Rottweiler Records, a non-notable company that fails NORG. Graywalls (talk) 02:48, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is paid/sponsored article.- The article was used to establish Shira's role as the founder of Bharat Bhagya Vidhata Forum. Have added reference where this has been established- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFaTi2CB4Vg. This video is by Indian School of Business's Bharti School of Public Policy.
This is self published- This was used to communicate her higher education. Additional information has been published by Zee Media.
Falls short of WP:SPORTCRIT and WP:GNG. Only played 2 minutes in Japan's third league, which is very far from notable. Article has been expanded but I don't believe the coverage meets WP:SIGCOV, which I will outline here. Source assessment:
The longest, but I believe it is not secondary. It has wording like ""During my university days, I worked part-time"

Very short, not significant
Literally one sentence, not significant
Don't think this is very significant either, describes the game on an amateur level
Normally published, commercially employed (non-academia) zoologist with a number of described taxa. There is nothing here that says encyclopedic notability - no WP:GNG coverage, no honours or prestigious positions, no recognized exceptional contributions to the field. A productive arachnologist but not encyclopia material. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:19, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Disputed PROD. Fails to meet significant coverage criteria. Sources cited are just result lists and basic profile things. As the editor who added the "needs additional citations" notice said they are "garbage". I cannot find anything that would class as significant coverage to add. Shrug02 (talk) 11:33, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: No news coverage found of this person, other than confirmation of existence [1]. Sourcing in the article now is primary or directory listings. Oaktree b (talk) 16:58, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, WP:SIGCOV is met by new coverage including by The Age: [2] Rutter led the World Championships 20 km at more than half-way through the race and might have been the world champion had he not been controversially disqualified. He's (at least) mentioned in 28 other articles for The Age here but I haven't gone through them all: [3]. He was also interviewed by Dave Culbert for Fox Sports News here: [4] and covered for a TV programme at 3:18 here and 2:24 here. --Habst (talk) 17:24, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable businessman. Cited sources do not mention the subject at all, not even in passing. Article was speedy deleted under A7, and was immediately recreated by author. Could also qualify under WP:G11 though the article isn't blatantly promotional. Possible COI as well. CycloneYoristalk!05:19, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Paul Petrovski is the founder of PCFS Logistics Pty Ltd and is also the major sponsor of Rockdale Ilinden FC. He has also had a amateur football career hence the addition of his football stats. 58.105.162.94 (talk) 05:54, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've already deleted this once under A7, which clearly still applies—there's nothing to indicate any notability in Wikipedia terms. Playing non-league football and being the director of a company that's itself so obscure it doesn't even have a Wikipedia page clearly doesn't qualify. ‑ Iridescent06:04, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails NBIO and SIGCOV. No indoependent coverage in reliable sources. Also, since this is a resurrected speedy delete, then this should be deleted and salted. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 06:27, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting, already brought to AFD so not eligible for a Soft Deletion. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk!23:18, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The only source in the article may be WP:SIGCOV based on the purported headline but it is a dead link. I found a few sentences of coverage at [[10]] but I'm not quite convinced this subject has the requisite coverage to meet the WP:GNG. Let'srun (talk) 22:06, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
