Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Cycling

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:

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|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.

Redirect to Latvia at the 1928 Summer Olympics#Cycling – As WP:ATD. Svartner (talk) 20:53, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Latvia at the 1928 Summer Olympics#Cycling: A search for anything on this guy yielded only databases that seem to confirm the same basic facts that Wikipedia does. Hopefully they aren't citing us. The Latvian article on him doesn't seem to have anything and is also unsourced. Born in 1903 and lived 78 years in Latvia...must've seen just about enough history for a dozen lifetime even without his turn at the Olympics. The AtD proposed above is well suited for this particular case, as there's nothing to merge. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 03:44, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Some sources that may qualify as sigcov: [1][2][3]. This list [4] has a lot more, mostly routine stuff reporting on Schwager's race results, but that may count for something. Via Swissdox I found two articles in the St. Galler Tagblatt solely about Schwager: One from 12.04.2008, titled "Peking kommt noch etwas zu früh", which is over 550 words, and the other from 30.10.2010, titled "Mit gutem Gefühl in den Winter", over 500 words. Unfortunately I could not find accessible online copies of either article, but I would be happy to provide a copy to any editors who would like one. @Svartner, thoughts?

Delete – Fails in WP:GNG. Svartner (talk) 05:14, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep – There's a ~7 minute paywalled video of him from 1974 made by France 3 Normandie ("Equeurdreville: portrait of Jules LEBRETON, former cyclist in the Tour de France") and some recent but small coverage on him ([5] [6]). It's pretty weak, but I think this should barely be enough. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 11:34, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Serbia at the 2008 Summer Olympics#Cycling, as I could not find enough in-depth coverage of this person to meet WP:GNG. The closest I found was Dobre Vesti, but everything else are just passing mentions or routine coverage. Corresponding article on Serbian Wikipedia article is unsourced either. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A.

I also just added a part about his life indicating his notability as a standalone article. AnAstronautsPhotographsFromSpace (talk) 03:24, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Meets WP:GNG/WP:NBIO: 335 words of coverage here, more than 200 words of (non-quoted and non-routine) coverage here, and 285 words of non-quoted coverage here. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 12:49, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Found entries from a handful of databases showing she was active for a few years ending in 2019, obtaining fairly modest results (e.g. [7])

Most I could find was [8] this seems like a reasonable source, but not sure it quite passes as a WP:RS. It states that she won the Tuscan regional championship multiple times. Searching through the website I can find a couple more mentions of her name, but nothing above a passing mention or WP:Runofthemill Giuliotf (talk) 21:33, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - similar to the others, two unreliable citations are not enough for a BLP. Ping me if you find and add three better sources. Bearian (talk) 09:00, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete similar to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lisa De Ranieri. All I could find was some database entries of some very modest results during a very short career that seems to have ended in 2019.
