Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Discrimination
 | Points of interest related to Discrimination on Wikipedia: Category – WikiProject – Alerts – Deletions – To-do |
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion and merging of articles related to Discrimination. 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 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion and neither does removing an AfD from this page remove it from the main page at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. 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:deletion sorting|Discrimination|sig=~~~~}}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.
- Edit this page and add
- 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 Discrimination. 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.

As WP:POVFORK of Siege of Tripolitsa#Massacre of civilians. After a dispute at the latter article's talk page, the nominated article "Tripolitsa massacre" was created in order to bypass the dispute and, as Demetrios1993 noted, the new article "doesn't present the sub-topic in further detail, and any attempt to provide some neutrality is swiftly dismissed with reverts". For the issues I raised originally, see here. They remain unaddressed and, in the new article, became much worse.
I simply propose redirecting to Siege of Tripolitsa#Massacre of civilians, as it was pre-edit war. Trabzonluyuz-rumuz-elhamdulillah (talk) 19:48, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

- Support There is no reason to have the same content on different pages. Otherwise, we should WP:SUMMARISE the contents in the Siege of Tripolotsa. The current article is relatively short (one paragraph on the Massacre and one on Plunder), so we should merge its content (in case something is missing from the Siege of Tripolotsa article) and redirect it.

- 2026 Turkish LGBTQ raids (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I propose merging to LGBTQ rights in Turkey because:
1) The background info is relevant to similar crackdowns in the past, none of which have their own articles. If the article is merged then the readers of the resulting article will more easily understand common factors between crackdowns in different years in the past. Also editors (such as myself) are more likely to update.
2) As far as I know there are no new laws about it since the previous crackdown.
3) The EU stance is longstanding, not specific to this particular crackdown
For info: Previous merge proposal Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2026 Turkish LGBTQ raids was procedurally closed because article was re-added to "In the news". https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&diff=prev&oldid=1376747348 In Turkish Wikipedia it is integrated not a separate article. Both pages are a little under 6000 words but after merging I would reduce the size by removing duplicate info and excess detail Chidgk1 (talk) 07:29, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

- Comment/Slight keep Honestly, I just don't like that it's LGBTQ rights in Turkey article. Yes, this is about LGBTQ rights, but this is a very big crackdown on communities, journalists, etc., and it would fit better as an important event. Like in the former nomination, I want to reiterate that adding this to such a broad article may cause it to be minimized. There is also an ongoing crackdown on the major news network T24 under this operation and a discussion in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe about this. I'd recommend keeping this at the moment.
- Also, on the language thing, this article has already been adapted as a standalone article in 12 different languages. I don't see how the Turkish Wiki is relevant to this. Every Wiki works independently; we have many articles that are standalone here but not in their native Wiki, unless Turkish Wiki and English Wiki are somehow interconnected. I would be happy to get answers for these, thanks. 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕮𝖆𝖙𝕻𝖊𝖓𝖈𝖎𝖑 𝕿𝖎𝖒𝖊𝖘 (talk) 16:42, 3 October 2026 (UTC)
- Keep for now and Wait previous nomination was only a week ago, and we should give it some time to see if there will be any WP:LASTING coverage, and other coverage of it as a historical event, and then see if it meets WP:GNG. Servite et contribuere (talk) 08:23, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

- Delete, WP:NOTNEWS website that carries every story. We do not know at this time if there is going to be widespread reactions, sustained coverage and policy shifts. Runmastery (talk) 08:41, 3 October 2026 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. No sustained coverage for routine event. —Joeyconnick (talk) 16:45, 3 October 2026 (UTC)
- Delete: It's almost funny how un-notable this is. I would be shocked if anyone could come up with a reasonable argument to retain it. MediaKyle (talk) 11:03, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
- Delete per above reasoning, does not meet wp:gng at all. AadamentAardvark (talk) 17:33, 5 October 2026 (UTC)

A clear news story, and we're WP:NOTNEWS. No evidence this is of any last ing consequence or changes. It's a random crime news story with a complete lack of notability. Canterbury Tail talk 21:47, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
- Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: Crime, LGBTQ+ studies, and Canada. Shellwood (talk) 22:10, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
- Merge to List of acts of violence against LGBTQ people. I can't find any evidence of this having LASTING importance now, however there may be evidence in a week when this is closed; as this was quite a recent event. msk 22:22, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
- Note: this discussion has been included in the list of Discrimination-related AfD discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 03:49, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
- Merge. As above to List of acts of violence against LGBTQ people, the information contained in the article would be better suited there. TheInsatiableOne (talk) 07:29, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
- Comment is it even notable enough to be in the lists? It's a single assault, with no motive confirmed for it as yet. Just because the victim is LGBTQ doesn't mean that was the reason. It's being looked into as a possible motive, but nothing is confirmed in any reference. Canterbury Tail talk 12:50, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
- Delete: Random news item, it happened and the media moved on. I don't see lasting notability. It doesn't meet criminal notability either. Oaktree b (talk) 14:46, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
- Delete, no lasting notability. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:58, 2 October 2026 (UTC)
- Delete for no lasting notability. Khalitate (talk) 05:31, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
- DELETE: NOTNEWS. Closing admin: please consider indef blocking the creator who seems to only get blocked temporarily? They are clearly not reading the rules and need to be going through AfC --TitCrisse (t•c) 23:42, 5 October 2026 (UTC).
- JPMorgan homophobic scandal (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
There's a lot of things wrong here. First and most importantly, Wikipedia is not news and this is clearly a blip in the news. Secondly, the article basically validates the claims of the alleged victim stating that "Brian Larson was [...] fired [...] because of his sexual orientation" whereas WP:NPOV would require something along the lines of "Brian Larson alleges he was fired [...] because of his sexual orientation". Even the article's title is slanted as basically acknowledging that JPMorgan is homophobic (this has not been demonstrated, at least not yet) and that this story raises to the level of a "scandal" which seems an exageration at best. Pichpich (talk) 16:05, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. Just saying NOTNEWS is probably enough of a justification for deletion. we have a whole big "screw you" to NPOV/DUE at the parent article that we can probably merge this article into if we can find out what the "numerous discrimination lawsuits" this article refers to are. msk 16:36, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
- Delete this particular event does not deserve a page of its own and can be added to the main page of JPMorgan Chase. However if the controversies/allegations section is too large perhaps a separate page can be created for it. Dz5t 8O12 (talk) 17:22, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
- Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: Discrimination, Events, LGBTQ+ studies, and United States of America. Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 19:00, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
- Merge to the main JP Morgan chase article and the recent history section. Deleting this article is wiping that information entirely. I would be against that especially considering the relevance and importance of the subject. AadamentAardvark (talk) 19:46, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
- Delete the latest in the line of scandal attempt articles created by the article creator. Not news, not notable. Canterbury Tail talk 21:52, 30 September 2026 (UTC)
- Delete - everyone should know that we are not a soapbox. It's not notable; many companies are homophobic from what I've experienced. Bearian (talk) 03:42, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. NOTNEWS. Khalitate (talk) 05:54, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
