Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Thailand

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

Phuttiphong Aroonpheng

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

Thai film director fails WP:NBIO. This article has been redirected twice, but the redirection has been reverted both times by the article creator, who said in both edit summaries to nominate at AfD. GTrang (talk) 04:20, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Actors and filmmakers and Thailand. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 05:51, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:FILMMAKER (section 3). Phuttiphong Aroonpheng has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work (Manta Ray). The work has been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. The fact that the article is a stub does not mean that it should be deleted. See WP:TOOSHORT: Wikipedia has many stubs. These should not be deleted for this reason but should be marked as stubs. Khiikiat (talk) 07:18, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: indeed fairly meets WP:DIRECTOR as director of Manta Ray, a very notable film. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 12:02, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This article has significantly changed since its AfD nomination. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 12:15, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I had difficulty finding any sources in English. The current article doesn't even list number of appearances. Fails WP:SPORTSCRIT. Would reconsider if there are decent sources in Chinese. LibStar (talk) 05:34, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: per WP:NATHLETE, they don't seem to have done anything notable or are mentioned in many sources. Sir MemeGod  12:26, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find significant coverage in reliable sources for this muay thai fighter, but I'm not confident I know where to look, either. Here's two links that might help someone else: [1]; [2]. asilvering (talk) 23:42, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some details to his biography and cited some articles from: ^[1] GaryFightRecord (talk) 16:47, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Probably a case of WP:TOOSOON, doesnt meet criteria for WP:NKICK. Nswix (talk) 20:51, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This was interesting search and showed how things have changed. Time was it was very difficult (well nigh impossible) to find sources on Muay Thai fighters. I found a number of articles on Pearse, but most of them are TikTok, youtube, and instagram. Fight results and upcoming fight announcements are easy to find, but it's still difficult to find significant coverage from sources I know are both reliable and independent. He comes close to meeting WP:NKICK. The WMC ranks him as the #11 contender in his weight class (hence #12 overall) and he recently lost to the Rajadamnern champion in a non-title bout. Neither the sources I found nor the ones mentioned in the article convince me that WP:GNG is met. Historically, organizational ratings are sometimes suspect--it's hard to believe he's so highly ranked in the world when he's only ranked #8 at Rajadamnern. I'd say it appears to be WP:TOOSOON, but I'm not voting right now in the hope that better sources can be provided. Papaursa (talk) 01:53, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Probably WP:TOOSOON. Subject doesn't meet WP:NKICK and doesn't pass WP:GNG. Lekkha Moun (talk) 04:53, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
