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

Sherman is a political candidate, and all coverage of them stems from that candidacy. If they are ultimately successful, an article can be created. Could be mentioned in Third-party and independent candidates for the 2024 United States presidential election or Green_Party_of_Alaska#Elections but I don't see any other path to biographical notability.

- Keep - She's a legitimate candidate, duly elected by the
Green Party of Alaska. All the other past years Green Party of Alaska candidates have their own Wikipedia articles. I don't see how we can delete this candidate's article, if the Green Parity has nominated her. It could be argued to delete, but Wikipedia doesn't come across well if they disqualify the officially elected candidates.

- Being nominated by a minor party in a single state does not equate in any way to automatic notability. Curbon7 ( talk) 03:53, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- They don't even have ballot access and have been decertified so I'm not even sure duly elected is accurate in this case. If you think
WP:NPOLITICIAN needs addressing, I'd be thrilled to have that discussion somewhere appropriate, but that doesn't make a case for Sherman but rather for further cleanup.

- ETA on GPA OSE: Cynthia McKinney was a six term House member, Jill Stein received extensive coverage outside of her campaign and then we have Jesse Ventura and Ralph Nader. (David Cobb may need discussion, it takes more of a look than a quick scan). Jasmine Sherman has not yet attained coverage the way any of these have. I know you know this, you've been here approximately forever. But I still don't see merit here. Star Mississippi 11:00, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete or redirect to 2024 Green Party presidential primaries. The AK state party's previous candidates were also national candidates or otherwise notable outside this nomination. All coverage is about her participation in the primary, for which she got a whopping 72 votes, rather than substantively biographical. Reywas92 Talk 13:40, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Non-notable minor political candidate, long way from notability. Oaktree b ( talk) 17:03, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to 2024 Green Party presidential primaries#Declared candidates as an alternative to outright deletion. Per nom. and Reywas92, subject fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Sal2100 ( talk) 22:30, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to 2024 Green Party presidential primaries#Declared candidates. No coverage other than in the context of the primary; and almost no coverage in the context of the primary either. Possibly being on the ballot as a presidential candidate in one state does not automatically provide notability. Walsh90210 ( talk) 04:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete without redirect, I absolutely hate deleting articles but there is a strong lack of sources to prove her notability. The only reliable source I could find is from the The Nashua Telegraph Microplastic Consumer ( talk) 19:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Mott family murders ( | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – ( View AfD | edits since nomination)
- (Find sources: Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Fails NEVENT. All sources are from the week this happened, no follow up, failing WP:SUSTAINED. In addition, familicides are by far the most common kind of mass murder and tend to receive the least coverage, so the odds that this will receive any kind of retrospective coverage when coverage has ceased, especially since it's been two years with nothing, is slim to none.

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Crime, Events, and Alaska. PARAKANYAA ( talk) 01:32, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Even without WP:CRYSTALing, this has barely been mentioned and therefore fails WP:GNG, and it's nowhere near having the lasting consequences needed for WP:NEVENT. — Alien333 ( what I did & why I did it wrong) 09:46, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
