Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Kentucky

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

Battle of Camp Wildcat order of battle (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

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

This is a minor Civil War battle (16 killed and 62 wounded all told) and certainly doesn't merit three articles for the order of battle. The Confederate and Union ones can be merged to Battle of Camp Wildcat, making this page superfluous. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:30, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep/Wrong venue. As things currently stand, this page is necessary as the order of battle is split into two pages, one for each adversary, per WP:ORBAT. I wouldn't oppose merging the two order of battle pages together at this title, or merging both into the article about the battle as proposed, but we need a WP:MERGE discussion, not a deletion discussion. I will say this the current arrangement is the typical setup for most ACW battles, including most minor ones. Mdewman6 (talk) 03:37, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: History, Military, Lists, and Kentucky. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:14, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom, no need for 4 separate pages about 1 minor battle. Mztourist (talk) 06:23, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The nom proposed a merge, not deletion. Mdewman6 (talk) 20:42, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Procedural close – the nom made a mistake about the venue (that's fine), but this can be closed and renominated as a merge proposal per Mdewman. Cremastra (talk) 22:32, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
