Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Oceania

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

The sources are terrible with not independent reliable and broad topic coverage. This is not a notable company, at least for Wikipedia. Let zoom to some particular sources: [1] this one is a routine announcement on the not very reliable and quite niche website; [2] the same with this - it's not a reliable coverage, nor a reliable website and we need multiple sources (not a series of news from 1 website). [3] this one is almost good, aside from the fact it's slightly overfocused on the citations from the company members, but it could be okay. [4] this one is a reliable but not providing significant coverage, some interview citations and general information focused on the 10 anniversary date. J. P.

Since this article was created in 2011, it has been based almost entirely on citations to sources either from the ICOR itself or from its affiliate members. Attempts to find coverage in reliable secondary source turned up very little. Neither of the cited secondary sources in this article provide significant coverage, only giving the ICOR a passing reference in the wider context of another subject. A cursory Google Scholar search brought up a few self-published Marxist word documents, and one book about German political parties that only mentions the ICOR in passing.

As I have been unable to find significant coverage of this international organisation in reliable sources, and as notability is not inherited from any of its affiliated organisations, I do not think this meets the notability criteria for organisations and am nominating it for deletion.

  • Delete. Seems to be one of the many small private vocational colleges in Australia that exist to make money off international students. This article in the Australian Financial Review was the best source I could find, but it's still not really SIGCOV of the college itself. Everything else I could find was a press release. And several of the sources in the article are incredibly suspicious — the author of this "article" has a profile picture that is clearly AI generated and seems to write for a whole bunch of different spammy websites. MCE89 (talk) 08:38, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @MCE89: Thank you for reviewing the article and raising valid points.
    I'd like to clarify a few things regarding notability and sources:
    1. **Regulatory Recognition**: Nova Anglia College is officially registered with the Australian Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA Provider ID: PRV14356) and appears in the CRICOS registry for international education providers (Code: 04265J). This confirms the institution is legally recognized under Australian law and not merely operating for profit outside regulated standards.
    2. **Academic Uniqueness**: The college offers the *Bachelor of Technology (Electric Vehicle)* (CRICOS 116433M), which is — according to multiple sources — the first non-engineering EV-specific bachelor's degree in Australia. This isn’t a standard vocational program; it represents a niche and emerging field in sustainable transport.
    3. **Independent Media Coverage**: While I understand concerns about certain sources, the article includes references from *International Business Times Australia* and *ANZECOM*, which independently reported on the college’s program. These articles are not republished press releases, and while not perfect, they do meet the basic standard for WP:ORG and WP:GNG when considered in combination.
    4. **About Suspicious Sources**: I agree that some sources like BigTime Daily or Forbes Scotland are not strong by Wikipedia standards, and I’m open to removing or replacing them with better citations. However, deletion may not be necessary if the content can be improved by trimming weaker sources and reinforcing stronger, regulatory-based notability.
    Happy to work with the community to refine and clean up the article. Jagdishsarai (talk) 05:36, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. Vocational schools are not automatically notable. Bearian (talk) 16:12, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. After some pretty extensive independent research, I land here. The article subject lacks WP:SIGCOV in reliable independent sources. In addition, vocational schools are not notable in and of themselves. ZachH007 (talk) 03:20, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @ZachH007: Thank you for taking the time to review.
    I’d like to clarify that Nova Anglia College is **not a vocational education provider**. It is a **registered higher education institution**, regulated by the Australian Government under:
    1. **TEQSA (Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency)** – listed under Provider ID PRV14356.
    2. **CRICOS (Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students)** – Code 04265J, approved specifically to offer higher education to international students.
    3. The institution offers a **Bachelor of Technology (Electric Vehicle)**, a government-accredited, three-year **higher education degree** (CRICOS Course Code 116433M), which is unique in Australia.
    This places Nova Anglia College squarely under **WP:HIGHERED**, not vocational-level WP:ORG standards.
    While the article can certainly benefit from trimming weaker citations, it does include **independent media coverage** (e.g., *International Business Times Australia*, *ANZECOM*) discussing its educational offerings — not just brief mentions.
    I’m happy to continue improving the article to align better with sourcing and editorial tone. Jagdishsarai (talk) 06:35, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Fancy Refrigerator: Thank you for starting the discussion and reviewing the article.

I’d like to clarify that Nova Anglia College is a registered higher education provider in Australia, listed under TEQSA (PRV14356) and CRICOS (04265J). The college has been featured in several reliable media sources such as *Forbes Scotland*, *International Business Times*, and *ANZECOM*, which are cited in the article. The institution also offers a government-accredited bachelor's degree in electric vehicle technology — the first of its kind in Australia — which has been independently reported on by those outlets.

I understand that notability and coverage are important, and I am happy to improve the article further if needed. Please let me know if any specific sections should be revised or strengthened.

Thanks again for your time and feedback. 2604:3D08:A67F:3B20:D56:79C0:F1AC:6030 (talk) 05:29, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not demonstrated for this road. One of the sources is Google Maps, and the other 3 are the state government - effectively primary sources. Searching online, I only found local news articles about upgrades to the road - not much coverage in statewide or national media. As a local suburban road, I doubt it's particularly notable. – numbermaniac 07:52, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm resisting WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but note it's an arterial road from the western suburbs dating from when they were sandhills and swamp, not a city street. I've removed the out of date map from the infobox and added a couple of old pictures. It has an A route number so clearly the state government thinks it's important. I still support keeping it.

This article reads somewhat like a resume mixed with a blog, possibly because the subject, per the article, "keeps a low public profile". The references, though 30, are not predominantly about the subject; many are ammouncements about his company, and several others are general articles that mention him in passing. The few sources that are actually about him profile him for having a lot of money, either locally or in Forbes, and are not generally in depth. He does not appear to be personally notable. This is also a problematic WP:BLP, devoting a lot of space to his personal health. FalconK (talk) 23:25, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Doesn't meet notability requirements; no more than trivial coverage of the Green party front bench as an entity in its own right. Agree with nominator that to the extent any content is relevant it can be included on the Green Party page or individual articles. As an aside, I note the article has been included in the shadow Cabinet category but that isn't really accurate. The official opposition at the moment is the Shadow Cabinet of Chris Hipkins and in practice in New Zealand it's always going to be the National or Labour party, rather than one of the smaller parties like the Greens, barring a major change in our political environment. It's hard for me to see how a list of a minor party's spokespeople could ever meet WP:NLIST. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:40, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

NZ proposed deletions (WP:PROD)

[edit]

Rather than discussing PROD-nominees here, it is better to contribute to the talk page for the article nominated for deletion. If you agree with the proposed deletion, you don't have to do anything or you may second the nomination. If you think the article merits keeping, then remove the {{prod}} template and make an effort to improve the article so that it clearly meets the notability and verifiability criteria.

A list of prodded articles with {{WikiProject New Zealand}} tags can be seen at Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand/Article alerts#Alerts.
