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

Cardinal Local School District

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

User:Porfiriotorres991 attempted to nominate this article for deletion, with the following reason: "this article has nearly no sources, nor serves any importance on Wikipedia. A page is already created related to the high school, and information of the school district can be found there. There is no need for a separate district page". I am just fixing the nomination, with no recommendation on my part yet. Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:15, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Congressional candidate who lost by a significant margin in the 1950s and was never elected/appointed to any other office. Most of, if not all of the sources for the article seem to lack WP:SIGCOV, and I did not find more existing coverage on the internet. Seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV EaglesFan37 (talk) 19:36, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cecil Bauer

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Mayor of a town of around 15,000 residents/city council member. All sources for the article have link rot, and only one of the sources could have been considered an independent and reliable source, and that source likely would not have been considered WP:SIGCOV. Cannot find any information on the internet that shows the subject meets WP:GNG or WP:SIGCOV EaglesFan37 (talk) 20:06, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Politicians, Politics, and United States of America. EaglesFan37 (talk) 20:06, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Ohio-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:11, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete That source is available here and indeed lacks sigcov. A Wikipedia article about the mayor of such a small town should contain something exceptional, but I don't see anything of that nature in his biography. He didn't serve as mayor for long, he was elected in 1967, and by 1970, newspapers already refer to him as "former mayor". Kelob2678 (talk) 20:48, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Local politicians rarely pass WP:GNG and this article does not. Aneirinn (talk) 21:14, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Because it only lists basic local political roles and personal life details without showing that the person has significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources beyond local mentions.--Imtisig (talk) 14:04, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. Let me know if more sources are located to bolster notability. Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 15:50, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Doesn't pass WP:GNG or WP:NPOL. BlookyNapsta (talk) 07:52, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - does not pass WP:NPOL. Bearian (talk) 12:31, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kate Miller (actor)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Previously deleted a few years ago, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kate Miller (as well as Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1082#Legal_threat_by_Dorierosie for further context) and recreated by a SPA. There appear to be basically no sources specifically about Miller that could be used to construct a reasonable biography of her. I also don't think her roles are enough to pass WP:NACTRESS, while she has appeared in several major TV shows, these appear to have been only minor roles. Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:22, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Actors and filmmakers and Theatre. Hemiauchenia (talk) 20:22, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Women and Ohio. Shellwood (talk) 20:52, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. None of the roles are major enough to qualify the subject under WP:NACTRESS. The only role that comes close is the role in the original casting of Moon Over Buffalo, but it is unclear to me how the guideline works for plays and other theater events given that they can have multiple different casts and typically a particular casting is not really notable itself (there are some exceptions for very popular plays - I could believe that the original cast vs West End cast for Six (musical) would be notable).

Delete. No significant coverage. BlookyNapsta (talk) 11:18, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford International Film Festival

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non notable film festival. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. Gets a little local attention but nothing outside that. Notability is not inherited from people they give awards to or from films that showed there. (Notemost incoming links are for the other Oxford International Film Festival, based on England, not this small local fest) duffbeerforme (talk) 13:38, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Well, their domain is for sale, so this doesn't seem to exist these days. From what I'm reading, it only lasted from 2007-2010... There was some coverage, but nothing since then. Beyond proving it existed at some point, I'm not sure this was a notable event... I guess it could be a one-line mention in the town's article, but I don't see much notability beyond that. Just reading the older AfD from 2008 is... odd. Oh look, this mentions it, must be notable. Oaktree b (talk) 20:07, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
