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

Robert E. Ireland has a messy and (and coincidentally, also without many sources) Wikipedia article. There aren't really enough sources to establish anything beyond the fact that this guy existed, which unfortunately isn't enough for WP:GNG, plus it doesn't have significant coverage.

• Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2024 November 7. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 04:03, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators, Science, France, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 06:42, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Perhaps the nominator could explain how they failed to consider WP:PROF and the obvious claim of notability through WP:PROF#C5 in the article ("Thomas Jefferson Chair Professor of chemistry at the University of Virginia"). The Ernest Guenther Award may also pass #C2, and his citation counts look high enough for #C1. Note that WP:PROF notability is independent from WP:GNG and does not rely on the existence of in-depth independent sourcing, but we have that also in three published obituaries (not counting the alumni magazine one), all of which have a half-dozen or so in-depth paragraphs about the subject and are independent from each other and Ireland and reliably published. To add to that we have one in-depth review of a book by him [1], not enough by itself for WP:AUTHOR but adding to the depth of sourcing in general, and entire papers about the Ireland–Claisen rearrangement named after him [2]. So I think we may have a pass of WP:GNG as well. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:22, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. A clear pass of WP:Prof#C1 on GS cites and a above. A trout for the nominator, who has been editing for one month. Xxanthippe (talk) 08:38, 7 November 2024 (UTC).[reply]

Keep. I'm biased as the original author, but I have a good record of selecting high quality professors who meet WP:PROF (humble brag, picked out a couple of Nobel Prize winners). Anyways, he is a University Professor of UVA and the general trend is to have Wikipedia articles for most professors who meet that criteria. Sources come from obituaries from ACS and tributes from fairly high profile chemists. Article can and should be improved but individual is certainly notable.

It may be helpful if you take a look at WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:22, 8 November 2024 (UTC).[reply]

• Keep. A clear pass of WP:PROF on named chair, concept named for them, and citation profile per GS. As David Eppstein writes, GNG appears to be satisfied too. Suggest withdrawal. Espresso Addict (talk) 04:19, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Snow Keep, per clear evidence of passing multiple WP:NACADEMIC criteria and WP:GNG. Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:35, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The subject might not meet WP:SIGCOV. I see some sources about her, but it might be an instance of WP:TOOSOON. Many of the sources are from her university or employer. TJMSmith (talk) 19:18, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep may be notable as many other journalists; some sources do exist as my quick google search shows, but I'm not good at evaluating journalistBLPs. --25lucky (talk) 15:54, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This is a journalist at the very beginning of a career, and like an assistant professor, we almost never keep such articles as being too soon. Bearian (talk) 09:22, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
