Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Engineering
| Points of interest related to Engineering on Wikipedia: Portal – Category – WikiProject – Alerts – Deletions – Cleanup – Stubs – Assessment |
This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Engineering. 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|Engineering|~~~~}} 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 Engineering. 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.

Promotional article and sources are all far too primary. Lack of independent coverage. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:38, 1 December 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Companies, Products, and Engineering. ―"Ghost of Dan Gurney" (hihi) 02:07, 2 December 2025 (UTC)
- Delete The article doesn’t show that Sutorbilt is notable. All the sources are from the company itself or sellers, and there’s no independent coverage. It reads like advertising rather than an encyclopedia article.--Killviconiborki (talk) 14:19, 2 December 2025 (UTC)

Fails WP:BIO with insufficient sigcov in reliable sources. As an ATD this should be redirected to Morphy Richards. Ultraodan (T, C) 12:39, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Engineering, and United Kingdom. Ultraodan (T, C) 12:39, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
- Plenty of sources Try looking for 'D.W. Morphy' instead. ~2025-37061-07 (talk) 17:38, 28 November 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Firstly, I suggest that the vandalism to the article be undone. There was an obituary published in The Times on 27 May 1975 but it was by a "correspondent", so not sure if that carries the weight of a regular Times obituary; Wikipedia Library's access to the Times Archive is down at the moment so can't link to it, but it's on archive.org, but I won't link to it as it's probably copyrighted. If it's to be deleted then it probably should be merged/redirected to Morphy Richards Piecesofuk (talk) 09:46, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
- Good catch, I've undone that but I don't think it changes the lack of sources. Ultraodan (T, C) 10:52, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

This feels like far too broad of a topic, without a clear discussion of inclusion/exclusion criteria. To my knowledge, we do not have similar articles for other countries (though they may exist, named differently). Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 07:14, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

- Keep using the same rationale provided by @Katzrockso. I wouldn't be entirely opposed to the convert to categories, but I think this falls under Wikipedia:LoL (note: it should be put in alphabetical order) aesurias (talk) 00:37, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
- delete pointless all-encompassing list. --Altenmann >talk 07:34, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Comment This seems like it could be a perfectly cromulent navigational WP:List of lists, and as such be fine. Is there something I'm missing? TompaDompa (talk) 08:05, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
Delete per WP:SALAT as far too broad. It would have to be a list of lists of lists of lists.Clarityfiend (talk) 09:56, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- I think it is in retaliation to putting up a world map of political boundaries last night. Wikideas1 (talk) 15:40, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Convert to category Works much better with inclusion pushed from articles rather than pulled by a list article that has to be maintained manually. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:52, 15 November 2025 (UTC)
- Convert to a list of lists per TompaDompa. Thryduulf (talk) 10:52, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Perfectly valid list of lists for navigational purposes - a broad topic has never prevented a Wikipedia article before.Katzrockso (talk) 13:34, 17 November 2025 (UTC)

- Relisting admin note: policy based information on why you support a change in format (or not) will be helpful to the closer. Star Mississippi 00:01, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
- Comment. This satisfies many of the WP:DOAC; "Categories only show the page name of each page being categorized", "Entries are arranged in alphabetical order only (though you can control the alphabetization). They cannot be organized into sections and subsections on a single page, each with its own descriptive introduction", "Categories are not shown in mobile view.". There is no reason why both the category and list can't exist per WP:NOTDUP and MOS:LIST#List and categories.
- The sectioning provides valuable informational content that would require a multitude of subcategories or otherwise be lost in a conversion to categorization, which is a valid reason to have a list per MOS:LIST#Information and WP:NLIST's "Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept". Katzrockso (talk) 01:34, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:NLIST Agnieszka653 (talk) 21:40, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep and convert to a list of lists page. This seems to be a valid "list of lists" article per WP:LISTOFLISTS. This may entail removal of some sections like "Intermodal terminals", "Ro-Ro ports", "Satellites", and "Weather", which are merely lists of the first order (i.e. the list items are not lists themselves).
