Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Police

Shortcuts

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

Police

Militsiya of the Kruševo Republic

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

Fails notability entirely. Has been unsourced for a while now. I could not find anything to salvage the article in another language version of Wikipedia either. StephenMacky1 (talk) 23:11, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: History, Military, Police, and North Macedonia. StephenMacky1 (talk) 23:11, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or, if proper sourcing appears, merge selectively into Kruševo Republic.
Delete or merge to Kruševo Republic. The Macedonian verson of the page does seem to have a couple of sources, but I wouldn't blame anyone for deleting this. Tioaeu8943 (talk) 00:05, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It has two cited sources, which are not enough to establish notability. Hristo Silyanov's source only mentions it in passing. StephenMacky1 (talk) 00:11, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the whole article is bla-bla. Jingiby (talk) 04:45, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Die Kommissarin

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

Article unsourced since creation in 2006. I cannot find any sources other than IMDB-like entries, some of which are copy pastes of sections of this article. Fails notability. Lenny Marks (talk) 16:57, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No sources found except for IMDB. Kvinnen (talk) 17:21, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Television and Germany. Lenny Marks (talk) 16:57, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Police-related deletion discussions. I am bad at usernames (talk · contribs) 17:10, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Hannelore Elsner would be a good alternative to deletion. Sources do seem thin; the German Wikipedia does have a reference to a very short independent article commiserating the end of the series [1] but I'm not finding much else. Elsner and other female police leads were celebrated in a major museum exhibition, but it's not specific to this series.[2]. Unfortunately series like this sometimes don't generate the coverage you'd think; I do find it hard to imagine that something not dissimilar to "The Bill" could exist so long and vanish with so little trace.
