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

Fails WP:GNG. I tried to do WP:before, but I don't see any sources that talk about him at all in detail and per Wikipedia:LUGSTUBS . 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 23:05, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per SIGCOV at San Jose Ahora, which has ~260 words of coverage on him decades after his death and notes that in addition to his cycling successes (he won numerous national championships) he also was the father of kart racing in Uruguay, designing the first kart track in South America. For a three-time Olympian, three-time Pan American Games medalist and multi-time national champion who's still remembered today as "the pride of San José sports," it is virtually guaranteed that there will be further coverage in newspapers of the time.

• Comment LUGSTUBS is a link to an RfC. Not a deletion rationale. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:17, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
