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

Young Ms Wyatt's suicide is a tragedy, but outside of sensational coverage, it is not notable. The event has no long-term impact. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 17:44, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Events, and Mississippi. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 17:44, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: I agree that a standalone article is not warranted; perhaps merge with
Ocean Springs School District? –

- Comment @ Skywatcher68: Perhaps, but given the lightness of the OSSD article, I think any mention of this given case would give it WP:UNDUE weight within the overall context of the article. WikiDan61 ChatMe! ReadMe!! 19:33, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. I agree with everything that WikiDan61 has said. The incident is not notable enough to have its own article, and to give coverage in the school district's article to this one incident out of the entire history of the school district would be grossly disproportionate.

- Delete per nom, this seems to be not notable enough for an article Warm Regards, Miminity ( talk) ( contribs) 13:01, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- DO NOT DELETE: This article should actually be expanded on. This story has generated a grass roots movement in the social media world equal to that of Amber Rene Hagermanm (Amber Alert), Adam Walsh (Crime Stoppers), and more recently JonBenét Ramsey. These stories are a distinct sign of the times and mark the social change that is unfolding in real time across the country. This article will grow as this story unfolds over the next sever days maybe even years. Most notable is the 7/31 & 8/01 wear pink show of solidarity against bullying.
- P.S. I'm the 5th person to weigh in on this in 24 hours. Obviously there is some interest in this story.

- The number of people weighing in on a deletion discussion is of less than no consequence to whether an article should be kept or not. Also, if the grassroots movement you claim exists, surely you can provide some sort of sourcing to back it up? Ham tech person 23:58, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
