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

PRODed this one four years ago. Recreated by the company's marketing officer. Still fails the notability guidelines for companies. – Teratix ₵ 12:49, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Cannot find any notability of it. Only article I can find that even mentions it is this which I doubt is reliable enough for inclusion. Half the websites I find upon Googling it are just review websites. Procyon117 (talk) 14:49, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That article is a WP:PRESSRELEASE and thus ineligible as a primary source. Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:17, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Fails WP:NCORP. All sources are WP:TRADES, WP:PRIMARYSOURCES, or otherwise fail the tests of eligibility under WP:ORGTRIV. Nothing comes up in WP:BEFORE search. Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:16, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the creation of this page may have jumped the gun a bit. There are possible issues with WP:SUSPECT and outside of the area it occurred, coverage seems limited (in a brief search just now all of the coverage I've found was already a month old, back to the week the event took place, and nothing since).

I would also be in favor of this going back to the drafts until further information is released. Lindsey40186 (talk) 16:15, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: Tragic, but doesn't seem to meet NEVENT, as there doesn't seem to be continued coverage. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:46, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. may have jumped the gun a bit describes 95% of current events articles that are created. Only a brief burst of news coverage, and Wikipedia is not a collection of news stories. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 05:00, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Doesn't seem to be enough lasting significance for NEVENT. will also drop a pet essay, WP:LASTINGCRIME. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 13:25, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: While this is certainly sad, the coverage seems limited and short-lived. Wikipedia focuses on topics with enduring significance, and this doesn't appear to meet that criteria. Waqar💬 17:06, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not particularly relevant as an essayist, nor as a lecturer. Excellent career, no doubt, but rather in the normal range. Sannita - not just another it.wiki sysop 10:44, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep The page needs cleanup as it's written like an advertisement, but the books have quite some coverage to meet WP:NAUTHOR:
  • Fatti non foste a viver come robot: [1] (access via WP:LIBRARY) [2] [3] [4] [5]
  • Il grande scollamento. Timori e speranze dopo gli eccessi della globalizzazione: [6] [7] [8]

Some profiles in the press (although mixed with interviews, not sure if they would contribute to WP:GNG: [9][10] and some more coverage of Il grande scollamento [11] Broc (talk) 15:58, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
