Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Caribbean

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

Delete: I'm not sure exactly what notability guidelines would be relevant for a political party; WP:NCORP maybe? In any case, there's no GNG and no NCORP so delete. Athanelar (talk) 02:20, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NORG is the same page as NCORP, so yes Geschichte (talk) 14:53, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – Per above. Svartner (talk) 09:10, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per above. There have been a total of 11 edits since 2011 when this article was created with virtually no new information added after the article's creation Oakchris1955 (talk) 15:18, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - is this the same party as the West Indies National Party that was founded in Trinidad in 1943? If so, it would be notable ("The WINP was organized as a socialist party and in its early history grew rapidly in importance and attracted the allegiance of a number of Trinidad's active politicians.") --Soman (talk) 20:02, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like the WINP from Trinidad were called the West Indian National Party, which has its own page. If this page is kept, it's definitely worth highlighting this with a tag as would be very easy to confuse the two! Greenleader(2) (talk) 21:36, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It took me a moment to spot the link to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stephanie K. Nihon, thank you, nom, for linking it. The prior AfD was closed after an admin had G5'd the previous article. I may be back with a !vote after I have examined the article. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 22:57, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I am on the fence. There is a claim to notability in https://www.thenassauguardian.com/lifestyles/goombay-kids-snags-cannes-film-festival-wins-stephanie-k-nihon-show-creator-wins-best-producer/article_a56e323f-b2aa-51f1-be6d-9652766b4129.html which may be sufficient. However, the remainder of the article is rammed full of WP:BOMBARDed churnalism of regurgitated PR pieces. If kept it needs to be rendered down to a barebones sub, pending a rebuild. Noting that AfD is not cleanup, it usually performs very well at that if an article is susceptible to being cleaned, 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 23:07, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete Bizarrely, there are a large number of weird promotional articles in obscure publications about Nihon, many of which are not impartial or written independently of the subject - "churnalism", as Timtrent describes above. With this said, I do think this article about her from Elle (magazine) in conjunction with the Nassau Guardian would be enough to pass WP:SIGCOV in ordinary circumstances. However, the broader picture context is clearly that there are a lot of paid promotional articles about this person being generated online, and the Elle Canada article has that disclaimer at the bottom. With that in mind, lean delete. Flip^and Flopped ㋡ 05:56, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article relies only on independent, reliable secondary sources. The existence of unrelated paid or PR press online does not negate the fact that the subject has received significant independent coverage, and only those reliable sources were used. Per WP:GNG notability is determined by the presence of in-depth, independent coverage in reliable sources, not by whether promotional material exists elsewhere on the internet.

In addition, the subject meets Wikipedia’s notability for creative professionals (WP:CREATIVE). Criteria 3. The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series). She is the creator of Goombay Kids, a nationally recognized Bahamian children’s TV series that has received sustained coverage in multiple independent news outlets and reportedly has had a notable cultural impact within the Bahamas as per the sources. Creating a widely covered, award recognized, and nationally broadcast series satisfies the standard for significant creative contribution under WP:CREATIVE.

Looking at policy, the presence of reliable independent sources demonstrating impact and recognition is what matters for notability. Those sources are already reflected in the article. Therefore the concern about paid press none of which is used here should not outweigh substantial independent coverage that meets GNG. Adnankhanakay (talk) 08:16, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep should satisfy WP:FILMMAKER as per above vote and Notability as per The Nassau Guardian piece and more by the same newspaper. Pizza on Pineapple ^{(Let's eat🍕)} 13:50, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Goombay Kids. The Nassau Guardian is fine, but it is only one source. The article by Elle was authored by "Contributor content by: Goombay Kids" so it is not independent. A typical interpretation of WP:CREATIVE is that an author should create multiple independently notable works to be notable themselves. Kelob2678 (talk) 16:25, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As per WP:CREATIVE criteria 3 The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews, or of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series). it is not mentioned that a subject should only have created multiple notable works but even one well-known work is enough to establish notability if the criteria is fulfilled.

Soul on Fire

Fails WP:NALBUM; should be deleted to make way for Soul on Fire (film), a film that is way more notable than the album. Red Shell Momentum 22:38, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Albums and songs, Music, and Trinidad and Tobago. Red Shell Momentum 22:38, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Support a move to add an (album) dab. Holding on on an AFD !vote for now, as the articles says the album charted (which would pass WP:NALBUM), but I'm unable to find any reference to it in a WP:Before on acharts.co – someone with access to the Billboard archives might have better luck that me though. Nil🥝 01:04, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Comment - the article currently states that it charted on the Billboard 200, sold over 200,000 copies, and has one dedicated review present. While none of this alone is enough for a keep rationale (yet), those are all good indicators that more coverage may be out there. And the fact that a film with the same name has an article has zero bearing on whether we should delete this article. If the film is truly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, we can simply rename the articles accordingly. Sergecross73 msg me 01:07, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
