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

This person doesn't meet the notability criteria, in part because he doesn't appear to have existed. The only "Collins" on the 1892 St. Louis Browns was Bill Collins. There is no player known only as "Collins" from the era. There is another player on the 1892 Browns whose first name isn't known ("Leonard") but his stats don't jibe with this "Collins" guy's stats.

• Delete. This was in fact Bill Collins (catcher), who played September 12, 1892. His article was updated well after this article was created, so this one is now obsolete. Wizardman 00:45, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Redundant, and not a viable redirect name now that we know his full name. Meters (talk) 04:54, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. No valuable content to preserve and not a viable redirect to anything. Geschichte (talk) 05:46, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. We have a much better article on the same person, and this isn't a viable redirect. Iminscotland (talk) 15:31, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete, redundant to Bill Collins (catcher). -Samoht27 (talk) 21:08, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

While Smithfield Foods is undeniably notable but its production unit may not meet the criteria of independent significance and this alone may not establish notability. 🌟 𝒯𝐻𝐸 𝐵𝒪𝒮𝒮! 05:03, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: While I offer no opinion or comment on the article itself at this time (beyond noting there has been a UPE tag on it since 2021), I did want to note that the nominator is presumably referring to Smithfield Foods (rather than the Smithfield disambiguation page) should anyone propose anything in that direction.
