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

Doesn't seem to meet WP:ANYBIO, his only notability is being a cameraman for a streamer. No reliable source used either. Http iosue (talk) 05:46, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fail to meet WP:GNG in WP:CREATIVE. Limited to no WP:V. Mostly indirect news articles and user created content. QEnigma talk 14:59, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is all routine local coverage. Subject served in the marines and owns a car wash, not enough to satisfy WP:BIO. - The literary leader of the age ✉ 03:49, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:GNG. Mztourist (talk) 08:00, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nothing more than routine coverage, so is not notable. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 15:26, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Spain

Non-notable news anchor. Only obituaries and no viable career coverage, while a real estate agent dominates name searches. Article was created by blocked editor whose objective was to promote Jacksonville TV personalities on Wikipedia. 💥Casualty ^{• Hop along. •} 04:32, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fail WP:GNG (WP:NBIO / WP:JOURNALIST) criteria. Lacks WP:RS and WP:IS. QEnigma talk 11:20, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While an understandable catch now, he just died and the community he belongs to seems grateful for the Wikipedia article. He was an TV personality for decades; deleting the article now just seems like really poor timing. I would at least wait a bit and see what comes of it. I know Wikipedia doesn't have to do this, but from what I read he died suddenly and tragically. It's been up for 13 years; it won't hurt for it to stay up for a little longer.

If marked for deletion, then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WSET-TV#Notable_former_on-air_staff would need to be updated, and we should consider marking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Walls for deletion, as he seems to fall in the same category as Spain. I am wondering if it may be notable to add a section on the WSET-TV article about Mark Spain, as from what I researched the community went all out in purple, including notable institutions such as Liberty University.

No indepth coverage from reliable third party sources. GRuban (talk) 21:30, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Let me rephrase, since it didn't seem to be clear. Not just no indepth coverage in the article; none to be found. I did look. --GRuban (talk) 12:40, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This may need attention from people with more knowledge of bodybuilding competition. This person does show up on sites about competitive bodybuilding—a news hit appears to verify her placement in 2003 and 2004 "Figure Olympia" competitions, though in this article they are listed as "Arnold Figure". Her name also appeared on other sites related to bodybuilding, though I did not investigate them thoroughly. I did not find any book hits, but I was not certain of the best search formula, and may have missed something.

Although my search results were minimal, I am also concerned that the nominator said nothing about attempting to find reliable searches before nominating the article for deletion, which is expected by WP:BEFORE. Since at least some sources are out there, and local news is not always easy to find, I would like to know that someone with more expertise in the subject has tried to find material that could be cited here. P Aculeius (talk) 11:52, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I guess that could have been ambiguous so I clarified above. I did try, and while I'm no expert in the subject, I have been here for 15 years so consider myself reasonably good at finding sources in general. But if someone can find sources that I didn't, I would be only too happy; I far prefer improving articles to deleting them. --GRuban (talk) 12:45, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that. Since all I found was a handful of mentions on bodybuilding sites, with nothing particularly substantial, I'll just leave that if it helps anyone who knows where else to look before this article is deleted. Obviously, if the article is deleted first, there would be no objection to recreating it if adequate coverage to demonstrate notability turns up later.
