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

- Comment. It might make more sense to merge and redirect KDTH to Radio Dubuque, since it is one of the 4 Radio Dubuque-owned stations. Cielquiparle (talk) 19:08, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

I am unable to find enough coverage of this
WP:SPORTSPERSON. The most I did find was a few sentences here, which is not totally unsurprising considering he was a replacement player who played three NFL games. JTtheOG (talk) 20:38, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

- Delete: I can't find mentions of his playing career in newspapers or a Gnews search. I don't see notability based on a lack of sourcing. Oaktree b (talk) 22:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I couldn't find anything either on Newspapers.com. NewsLibrary used to have a lot stuff that wasn't on Newspapers.com but you have to pay now to even search for stuff. Hopefully, someone else has better luck but I'm not hopeful since he's an offensive lineman. Pre 2022, I would normally just vote Keep since Ori is someone who played in real games, not just preseason or practice squad. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 01:31, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Comment. I'm thinking that this guy may have been a replacement player who played as a result of the 1987 NFL player's strike? If so, that could explain the lack of coverage for him. Ejgreen77 (talk) 11:46, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete fails WP:GNG. The three games he played in were the three games during the strike. Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:17, 26 June 2024 (UTC)]
- Delete. Fails WP:SPORTBASIC, prong 5: "Sports biographies must include at least one reference to a source providing significant coverage of the subject, excluding database sources." Cbl62 (talk) 12:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)]
- A number of passing mentions and brief things of course – I could probably write a decent start-class article but I'd likely be wasting my time... An article on the 1987 Minnesota Vikings replacement players, with biographies of everyone (and the same for all teams) we deem non-notable would probably work.
