This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Poetry. 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|Poetry|~~~~}} 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 Poetry. 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 was nominated for speedy deletion as a blatant hoax, and I want to thank user Kerim Demirkaynak for bringing this to our attention. I removed the speedy deletion template. While I agree that it is probably a hoax, I'm not absolutely sure. I tried to locate sources, and came across [1]. While not suitable as a reliable source, this gives a lot more information about the subject than the Wikipedia article or any of its translations. That could be part of the hoax, but I believe that it warrants a closer look.

Even if not a hoax, this article should be deleted as it doesn't meet general notability standards. Renerpho (talk) 17:04, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  In User talk:Erdyuksel#re Küplüceli Öznur from February 2011, a few days after the creation of the English article, user Herostratus mentions a (no longer existing?) Turkish Wikipedia article, which apparently had additional content that Herostratus suggested might be used to expand the English article. I don't think anything ever came of that.

  That's what I was looking for, thanks Kolhisli! English translation at [2]. Renerpho (talk) 17:59, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I've added back the speedy deletion template. This removes all doubts for me. Renerpho (talk) 18:03, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Kerim Demirkaynak write on the article talk page that This article seems to be a hoax. The subject does not exist and was created as a joke or trolling by a university student. No verifiable sources exist. What evidence is there to corroborate those details, that the author created it as a joke and that they were a university student? Did they admit to writing the hoax somewhere? Renerpho (talk) 17:54, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Kolhisli: Any idea what this edit from January 2024 is about? The editor knew that it was a hoax, and they knew details about its inception. That edit was reverted 3 days later. Renerpho (talk) 18:10, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The information in this edit contradicts the information in the eksisozluk link I posted, since it was admitted that the wikipedia article was created by high school students. However, the same student may have later studied at Boğaziçi University and spread the prank among the students of Boğaziçi University. https://tr.linkedin.com/posts/mkadirtan_k%C3%BCpl%C3%BCceli-%C3%B6znurun-hikayesini-biliyor-musunuz-activity-7328831347366559745-kCqE Kolhisli (talk) 18:25, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I mean, look. For individual statements of fact, we aim for 99.3% confidence that it's true. That's the best we can humanly do. That is not met by facts of which it can be said "most probably true" let alone "could be true" or "might not be false". So, "While I agree that it is probably a hoax, I'm not absolutely sure" is um well short of the confidence we need to state a fact, let alone keep a whole article. The statement admitting guilt by the hoaxers, above, is pretty damning. It could itself be a hoax, but I doubt it. Finally, the Turks deleted their article in 2017. While that doesn't prove anything, it's not an endorsement for the article existing here if the Turks themselves don't want it. Herostratus (talk) 18:36, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Yeah, I agree. I've added back the speedy deletion template. Finding a source from close to the article's inception, with information that was not present in the article, was enough to cast doubts for me. It seems that all of that came from the Turkish article, which was longer than the English one. I've since found an archived version of that here. Renerpho (talk) 18:43, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong Delete per nom, in toto. Perhaps it's also time to propose that the account be banned if this is continued disruptive behavior, or, if it's new accounts, page protection to prevent this from being something that has to be rehashed every time someone decides to create the page.
