Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Kazakhstan

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Kazakhstan. 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|Kazakhstan|~~~~}} 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 Kazakhstan. 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 list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Central Asia.

Kazakhstan

Afghanistan in the ABU TV Song Festival

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

Originally created when the event was announced in a Eurovision Song Contest-style format for each participating country, however this event has not gained nearly the same level of media attention or general awareness, and thus I believe individual country articles outlining participation in these events do not satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidance. Specifically I refer to WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV, as from what I can see coverage of these events is limited to fan media and promotional releases. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:36, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are part of the same series of country articles for the ABU Song Festivals:

Delete per nom. The sources for these articles are either primary sources (the ABU) or Eurovision-related sites that include passing mention of ABU participants (since the idea is that these events would be appealing to ESC fans). Even with that, the information was largely reformatted from press releases. As the nominator noted, these events never gained traction nor are they competitive like their inspiration's format. The yearly occurrences (ABU Radio Song Festival 2012, ABU TV Song Festival 2012, etc, - both GAs!) appear to have enough coverage, but I'm not sure what's accomplished by having a list of the handful of songs that each country 'sent' to be showcases (not voted on by the public). It's an interesting event, but these pages are remnants of an attempt to treat it like its much larger/more impactful, which was a product of being part of the former WP:ESC and its page creation structure (now deprecated for non-competitive events). These pages could be replaced by a single article "List of ABU Radio Song Festival songs" or whathaveyou, but that's probably the extent of it given where notability stands and I wouldn't make this deletion contingent on its creation (or an alternative).

A merge as suggested by Grk1011 might be useful. It could probably fit on ABU Radio Song Festival rather than a new page, that's not a very exhaustive article. CMD (talk) 07:13, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with ABU Radio Song Festival : as WP:Alternative to deletion. Was a check of sources in the language(s) of every country performed? Because that is what should have been done... -Mushy Yank. 18:40, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
