Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Wales

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

Regulatory Reform (Execution of Deeds and Documents) Order 2005

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

It has been stated that legislation is automatically notable under WP:GNG and WP:RS. This is not true.

wp:RSPRIMARY states that "Wikipedia articles should be based mainly on reliable secondary sources"
wp:ARTN states that "Notability is a property of a subject"
wp:PRIMARY states "Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them."

I have not found any secondary sources that mention this topic to establish notability. Landpin (talk) 16:44, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Politics and United Kingdom. Landpin (talk) 16:44, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I find the nomination unconvincing and having more of sophistry about it than any attempt to build content. Andy Dingley (talk) 01:47, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

largely lists sources that just list statutory instruments, or law reform recommendations without really explaining what the details of the legislation are, or sources that discuss land policy and briefly mention this legislation in passing without explaining the details.

These links are available to you too where it says "find sources". Landpin (talk) 06:34, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

wp:WHYN says "We require 'significant coverage' in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic."

Landpin (talk) 06:48, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Generic regulation, no indication of significance, no independent sources establishing notability. Reywas92^Talk 13:43, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of regulatory reform orders. This is a perfect example of something that isn't exactly notable from significant coverage, yet just important enough that it should be mentioned somewhere. Bearian (talk) 10:18, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge to List of regulatory reform orders per ATD. That list should probably start giving short summaries of the regulatory reforms. Probably several of them could be merged there if that is done.4meter4 (talk) 15:50, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Er, are we sure we want a merge? I peeked at the target article and it really is just a list. If what you're actually hoping for is a redirect (adding to the list if necessary), please !vote for that.
