WP:DELSORT/VolleyballWP:DELSORT/Volleyball

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Volleyball. 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|Volleyball|~~~~}} 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 Volleyball. 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 page disambiguates only one existing Wikipedia article. (Japan men's national volleyball team is linked indirectly, but does not mention any Kobayashis there.) Thanks again to a vigilant anonymous editor who reminded me that CSD G14 did not apply. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 01:22, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the volleyball player is mentioned in a few places, for example 2002 FIVB Men's Volleyball World Championship squads and 2003 FIVB Volleyball Men's World Cup squads, but MOS:DABRED only allows one link, and it is unclear which page if any is most appropriate. There is also a film director by that name, but again no one film he directed is clear for including as a DABRED link on the page. Atsushi Kobayashi (pitcher, born 1972) is not a valid entry at present and since Special:WhatLinksHere/Atsushi Kobayashi (pitcher, born 1972) is empty cannot be changed to become valid. ~2025-31245-28 (talk) 01:37, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Only one blue article is no good for a disambig. Hansen Sebastian (Talk) 15:14, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above and move Atsushi Kobayashi (pitcher, born 1986) to this page by default (if they even meet GNG, but that's another discussion). Rgrds. --BX (talk)
