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

Normally productive but apparently undistinguished (in the WP:GNG and WP:PROF senses) geologist and palaeontologist. I can find nothing that would demonstrate recognized extraordinary contributions to the field, honours or appointments received, etc. Some works (e.g. his book on ambers of Jordan [1]) are reasonably cited, but encyclopedia-level notability does not seem present. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 17:34, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. His Google Scholar profile indicates that he has a decent number of cited publications, though I make no judgment to his academic notability in my comment. Madeleine (talk) 17:45, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Citation count is okay, but I don't think it's enough for WP:NPROF#C1 and I don't see any indication he could meet any of the other NPROF criteria. I wasn't able to find any of the reviews of his book that would be necessary to meet WP:NAUTHOR. He's discovered some species, but as far as I know that doesn't count towards notability on its own, so not seeing much of a case for notability. MCE89 (talk) 23:38, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This is a low-citation field but even so a single-digit h-index and double-digit max citation counts on Google Scholar aren't enough to use WP:PROF#C1. Publishing and naming things (the only scholarly activity described in the article) is normal enough for someone in this field but not something that can be used directly as an argument for notability. His book Amber of Jordan has at least one published review [2] but I didn't find any reviews of Fossils of the Harrana fauna. One reviewed book isn't going to be enough for WP:AUTHOR and one review isn't even enough to make an article on the book and redirect to it. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:06, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Since the last AfD, we no longer grant Olympians automatic notability as per WP:NOLY. This person fails WP:SPORTSCRIT. LibStar (talk) 22:33, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Olympics, and Jordan. LibStar (talk) 22:33, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. No obvious notability, more obvious lack thereof. Geschichte (talk) 09:19, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect, per WP:ATD, to Jordan at the 1984 Summer Olympics#Shooting; not an implausible search term. Ingratis (talk) 12:29, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
