Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Texas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Texas. 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|Texas|~~~~}} 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 Texas. 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 was recently restored by an admin after a soft deletion at the previous AFD. Immediately afterwards it was again tagged as G4, but that was declined since the process delete was soft. A few minutes later A7 and G11 tags were applied, and I deleted based on those. Since the page creator has contacted the last tagger about restoration, I've done so, but am now calling this second AFD. This is NOT a procedural nomination; IMHO the page doesn't tell us anything significant about the company except it's selling phones. BusterD (talk) 09:43, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello @BusterD, please tell me what I need to do. I'm not trying to cause any trouble. I can remove those tags. Garyplso (talk) 13:16, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not sure I can provide an answer for your question which will please you. Page creators are up against several guardrails the community has established in order to prevent utter chaos. Our five pillars set forth an expectation 1P) we are an encyclopedia, not a routine listing of electronics sellers, 2P) in our articles we take a neutral point of view, so we're not here to improve electronics sales, 3P) Wikipedia articles are free content, so anyone can write them, so anyone can change them later, 4P) wikipedians treat each other with respect and civility, even when rules are broken, and 5P) we have no set rules, but as a community we establish polices and guidelines to keep our project moving forward. In the case of article space we require a subject establish WP:Notability and WP:Verifiablity policies through demonstration of multiple reliable, indepth sources independent of (and directly detail) the subject. In the case of articles about companies, we have additional organization and company guidelines which prevent Wikipedia from becoming Yelp or LinkedIn. So the bar is high for such companies. IMHO, too high for the subject under discussion. This somewhat-adversarial articles for deletion discussion is where the pagecreator and supporters can provide evidence of the available sources. Often a paid- or otherwise connected author has access to a company clipping file, or is aware of sources which would qualify. Good luck. BusterD (talk) 14:07, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @BusterDThanks for your response. I'm working to improve it. Garyplso (talk) 15:44, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete the products might be notable, but the company isn't. There's probably enough WP:PRODUCTREV for a "reception" section to be filled out, at which point the article becomes encyclopedic. tech radar, PCMag, Digital trends (that one gives a 504 for me but it looks like it at least was significant coverage), a little bit at verge (not significant coverage though), tech radar again, PCMag again, Tom's guide. None of the current sources contribute anything, except maybe this, which might or might not be reliable (I haven't really investigated it). However, all the reliable sources I found are reviewing the company's products rather than the company itself, so this article fails WP:INHERITORG. I'm not sure whether Tracxn or pitchbook are reliable but they seem to fall under WP:CORPTRIV. TL;DR: notability is not inherited from the company's products. lp0 on fire () 14:33, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Lp0 on fire Thanks for your insights. Rather than focusing on the products, will just focus on the company itself. Thanks for your suggestion about pitchbook. Garyplso (talk) 15:46, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm dubious about the notability of the products, which would otherwise rise to a CCS for the company (i.e. in general, using the rule of thumb N -> CCS and CCS -> nothing for entities one step removed, the information on the products is not sufficient to avert an A7). In my opinion, the coverage shown in this discussion and the previous iteration of the article demonstrate only CCS for the products, and not notability. I am thus inclined to endorse the deletion of the article via our CSD rather than a full AFD. Alpha3031 (t • c) 08:16, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails to meet the WP:GNG because of a lack of WP:SIGCOV from reliable secondary sources. The only references in the article are either primary to clubs the subject played for or are routine signing announcements, and I couldn't find anything better elsewhere.

Non-notable dermatologist. No reliable, significant, notable coverage. ~Darth StabroTalk â€˘ Contribs 16:28, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I got my person from the WikiProject Women in Red. She is a distinguished dermatologist who has published over 30 peer-reivewed article and has made a major influence in skin-of-color work. She is also a clinical instructor of dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College where she teaches her practice to college students. She has also been featured in major media outlets such as Coveteur and self magazine. What do you suggest is missing in order for her to be "notable"? ~2025-37859-60 (talk) 18:51, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Coverage about her, not her simply offering ideas on things, or a simple listing of where the person works, what they've done over their career. Oaktree b (talk) 16:11, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NCORP. There is a decent amount of local news coverage but that's not enough for NCORP. I would have restored the redirect to Agencia Espacial Mexicana, but there doesn't appear to be any mention of anything by that title there. PARAKANYAA (talk) 21:47, 28 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Responses are left uncollapsed on this one since they're fairly minimal. Alpha3031 (t • c) 08:35, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • !strong keep per WP:GNG/NCORP: Space.com provides independent, non-trivial coverage of AEXA's custom software enabling first Earth-to-ISS holoportation: "NASA flight surgeon...and Aexa Aerospace CEO...used custom Aexa software" [1](https://www.space.com/hologram-doctor-space-station-nasa-astronauts). USA Today similarly details company role https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/04/19/nasa-doctor-holoports-space-station-telemedicine/7366934001/. Beyond routine/local. Article needs neutral rewrite post-AfD. Fdodelap76 (talk) 03:39, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • While some coverage is local to Texas, there are also national and international sources discussing Aexa’s holoportation work on the ISS and its mixed-reality systems in non-trivial depth. For example, [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] provide independent discussion of Aexa’s role, context, and technology rather than merely passing mentions. Taken together, these appear to satisfy WP:GNG and therefore NCORP. ~2025-39122-26 (talk) 19:02, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    In addition to the independent news coverage already cited (ScienceAlert, The Independent, Freethink), Aexa’s holoportation work is also discussed in a peer-reviewed scientific article published in Acta Astronautica:
    Woodland, M. B. (2024). “Applications of extended reality in spaceflight for human space exploration.” Acta Astronautica. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actaastro.2023.10.021
    This is a high-quality, independent, secondary academic source that analyzes extended-reality technologies in human spaceflight and includes Aexa’s holoportation system as a case example. Academic publications like this are considered strong evidence of notability under WP and WP, since they provide non-trivial, non-local, non-routine coverage of the subject in a broader scientific context.
    Taken together, the peer-reviewed coverage and multiple independent news articles demonstrate that Aexa receives significant coverage in reliable sources, meeting GNG and supporting retention of the article with cleanup for tone where appropriate. ~2025-39122-26 (talk) 19:30, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    That article doesn't even mention them, at all. It is also titled differently and in a different journal by different authors than that DOI. And the one you wanted to link doesn't mention them either! Are you using AI? Because I find it difficult to find a human making that mistake. Egregious source misrepresentation.
    And the other sources you mention don't exist! PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:35, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
