This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Architecture, buildings, construction, city planning and public spaces. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting.

You can help maintain the list on this page:

  • To add a new AfD discussion (once it has already been opened on WP:AFD):
  • 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. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  • You can also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Architecture}}<small>โ€”~~~~</small> to it, which will inform users that it has been listed here.
  • There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
  • Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
  • You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Architecture, buildings, construction, city planning and public spaces.

Please note that adding an AfD to, or removing it from, this page does not add it to, or 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.

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.

[edit] Mike Duriez

Mike Duriez (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) โ€“ (View AfD)

I can find evidence that this person exists but no reliable sources (or any unreliable ones for that matter) to back up claims of notability enough to meet WP:BIO. [1] [2] [3] nancy (talk) 14:20, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. According to the article, the subject was a professor University of Edinburgh, but there does not seem to be substantial evidence of passing either WP:PROF or WP:BIO. I checked to see if spelling the first name as "Michael" rather than "Mike" changes any google results but that does not seem to be the case. A plain Google search for "Mike Duriez" gives just 5 hits[4], and for "Michael Duriez" 55 hits[5] that appear to be false positives. Similarly, in GoogleScholar one gets very little for either spelling [6][7] and the same for GoogleBooks[8][9]. Appears to fail both WP:PROF and WP:BIO. Nsk92 (talk) 15:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Duriez is referred to as a "tutor" in the Ptolemy Dean bio (User:PtolemyDean is the creator of the Mike Duriez bio). The addition of Duriez to the Dean bio was by User:Obscure items some of whose edits to that article have been reverted as vandalism, e.g. [10], others are clearly not serious [11] [12], note resemblance of these edits to User:PtolemyDean's [13]. I think this Bio is a hoax, and extension of vandalism/joke edit BSing on Ptolemy Dean.
  • Delete per above reasoning. Professors should have plenty of RS documentation. Jclemens (talk) 18:28, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Architecture-related deletion discussions. โ€”Pete.Hurd (talk) 18:52, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
