(Redirected from Wikipedia:DSP)

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion and merging of articles related to Pakistan. 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|Pakistan|~~~~}} 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 Pakistan. 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 Asia.

Per WP:NOTCATALOG, Wikipedia articles should not serve as exhaustive directories or catalogs. An overly detailed list of colleges and every program offered gives undue weight to routine institutional information and is better suited to the institution's own publications.

Not sure the blp meets notability criteria. Dirubii Olchoglu (talk) 10:30, 31 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Looks to me like subject of article meets WP:NACADEMIC. Receipt of Ordre de Palmes Academiques seems to meet criteria 2. It also seems he meets criteria 7 in that he did extensive work with the Pakistan government and tourism industry in relation to his tourism academic area. BleachPuffin (talk) 17:01, 31 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - for completeness, it was expressed in the original AFD that the Ordre de Palmes is not a significant award. I disagree with this view and maintain my keep vote. BleachPuffin (talk) 17:44, 31 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Note that the child's common name actually seems to be 'qamar muneer akbar'; there are more sources in that name, anyway. However most sourcing seems to be of one event (O-Levels) etc, making this WP:BLP1E (meets all criteria). I agree this fails WP:GNG. jolielover♥talk 12:43, 3 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional i.e. non-neutral content, unsourced false content which is not supported by historical sources at all and is most supported by local subcontinental family tradition, not encyclopedic at all, seems to be the view points of an editor who presumably is related to the subject and has expressed their own emotions when their claim has been refuted on this article itself, and details of the actual Quraysh tribe are already it's own article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Al-Budhi (talk • contribs) 06:36, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • On one hand, Qureshi is a surname, and Wikipedia contains numerous biographies of people with the name. On the other hand, there does seem to be a fair amount of non-neutral commentary in the article history. A proper surname page is warranted, but I'll leave it to others to determine if that can be done through regular editing, or if it requires TNT. Cnilep (talk) 05:12, 26 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: it's a surname. I've added a ref from the OUP's Dictionary of American Family Names. Note that there exists List of people with surname Qureshi. If there is very little sourced content about the name itself, it would be sensible to merge that list into this page - it's a common format, and means that the reader looking for a particular person of whom they only know the surname will have one less click to make. If there are content disputes about the article, those should be resolved on its talk page, not at AfD. PamD 13:16, 26 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Information Note: This merge proposal was originally opened on the article's talk page. Following the March 2026 RfC, formal merge discussions are now held at AfD rather than the historical Proposed article mergers process (PAM). I've moved the discussion accordingly per WP:TPO.
Moved from Talk:Higher Education Commission (Pakistan) § Proposed merge of HEC sports team articles
 – FaviFake (talk) 11:19, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
Proposed merge of HEC sports team articles

I propose merging Higher Education Commission cricket team and Higher Education Commission FC into a short section at Higher Education Commission (Pakistan)#Sports teams, with the source articles redirected there.

The current articles contain useful verifiable information, but they do not appear to demonstrate enough independent, non-routine significant coverage for separate stand-alone articles under WP:GNG and WP:NTEAM. Much of the sourcing appears to be routine match coverage, competition listings, statistics databases, or sources connected with sporting administration. The relevant encyclopedic content can be summarized in the parent article without giving undue weight to the sports teams.

Suggested outcome: merge a brief, sourced summary of both teams into the parent article and redirect the two sports-team titles to that section. Umais🗣 05:55, 16 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: Cricket and Pakistan. Shellwood (talk) 11:20, 16 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Weak oppose, solely from a cricket standpoint: I'm not seeing the undue weight issues; the cricket article is essentially three short paragraphs, and the main HEC article is a lot longer. This is perfectly fine, even if the article isn't at its best. Then again, it is better written than the PIA team that is the most successful of all the Pakistani department teams, which isn't a bad thing at all. What's tricky about this is that there is no consensus on WP:CRIC about whether departmental cricket in the 2020s is as notable as cricket in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy (if either are; neither competition seems to be listed in WP:OFFCRIC as an official competition since the QEA re-expanded once more; correct me if I'm wrong on that account).
    Personally, as this team played first-class cricket in a first-class competition for two years, I believe this should make them noteworthy enough to have their own article. -- JustJamie820 (talk) 04:09, 17 May 2026 (UTC) (Sorry for being long-winded.)[reply]
    I agree that first class participation is relevant cricket context, but I don't think it establishes standalone notability by itself. WP:NTEAM says sports teams and clubs do not have general presumed notability and are expected to demonstrate notability through WP:GNG unless a sport specific criterion applies. WP:NCRIC is primarily about cricket figures, and WP:OFFCRIC states that its list is intended as an aid for individual player presumed notability, not notability of the competition or team itself. Looking at the current sourcing, the article verifies that HEC participated in the President’s Trophy, but most sources appear to be routine match coverage, scorecards/statistics databases, competition listings, PCB or administration related announcements, or brief participation/promo news. I am not seeing multiple independent, non routine secondary sources that discuss the HEC cricket team directly and in depth as required by WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Per WP:ROUTINE/WP:NOTNEWS, routine sports announcements and match coverage are useful for verification, but not enough on their own to establish a standalone article.
    Because the useful verifiable content can be summarized cleanly at Higher Education Commission (Pakistan)#Sports teams, I still think merge and redirect is the better outcome under WP:ATD-M, WP:MERGENOT, and WP:NOPAGE. If editors can identify multiple independent, non routine, secondary sources with substantial coverage of the cricket team itself, I would be happy to reconsider. Umais🗣 10:26, 17 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    I've found that the HEC had a "flawed" selection process in 2025 here, but I don't know if this news is from a reliable source. If it's acceptable to add, I can try to add something about it. It's not much, but it's a start. -- JustJamie820 (talk) 19:53, 17 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
