This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Sweden. 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:
- 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|Sweden|~~~~}} 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 Sweden. 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 Europe.

- List of years in Belgian television (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Beginning with the article for 1976, most have been tagged with the {{notability}} hatnote in 2022, and as {{unreferenced}} since 2015. For the years after 2004, some rely on single sources (rather than no sources at all), and were tagged accordingly. As far as I can tell, those sources, like [1] from the 2004 article, don't establish notability and are only tangentially related to the subject.
- List of years in Belgian television shows that some years don't have articles. Those are 1957, 1965, 1974, everything before 1956, and everything after 2016 (which is when the majority of these articles were created). Apart from figuring out which years have articles, that list is entirely useless. Renerpho (talk) 15:02, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- I am nominating the articles below for essentially the same reasons (no content, completely unreferenced). Some of these are tagged as such since their creation in 2017:

- Some, like 1959-1961, 1993, or 1996, are tagged as unreferenced since 2016-2018, shortly after their creation. Some, like 1963, have been tagged recently (November 2024) as relying entirely on single sources. What they all have in common is that they largely consist of empty sections and lack any notable content. Renerpho (talk) 15:31, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- The same applies to the following:
- 1960 in Norwegian television (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- 1961 in Norwegian television (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

- 2005 in Norwegian television (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- All are based on the same template as the articles listed before, and all are essentially empty. Starting with 1964, these are already tagged as needing references. The articles for years after 2005 seem to be in slightly better shape and have not been nominated for deletion. Renerpho (talk) 15:44, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- List of years in Philippine television has an interesting solution: All the "non-notable" years (1953 to 1971) linked from that list are redirected to that list itself (example). Maybe we can/should take the same approach for the countries listed above. Renerpho (talk) 15:54, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- I am also nominationg the following articles for similar reasons (details given below):
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Belgium-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 15:03, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: It's an empty list. I can't really find much on .be websites for TV there... I don't see the need. Oaktree b (talk) 16:11, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- I've only !voted on the 1956 in Belgian TV article, I haven't reviewed the rest. No opinion on the entire list. Oaktree b (talk) 16:21, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: History, Lists, and Europe. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 20:15, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- Merge all I would strongly recommend having separate AFDs for each country. As similar as these are, this is a lot of articles. That said, we should not have empty or nearly-empty articles merely for the sake of having them. It would be better and more useful to readers to have decade-based articles when there is not enough information to justify one for every year simply to list birthdays of people or the Eurovision contestant. Reywas92Talk 21:12, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- Procedural Keep Too many articles, I suggest renominate them and seperate them by country (or in case of the belgian one, probably by 10 years). I don't want to even close this article as XFDCloser will bugged with this many articles listed. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 10:14, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Miminity and Reywas92: Alright -- how do I do this? I only find explanations for how to bundle AfD's (and suggestions to do so for similar topics, which is why I did so here), but not how to split them. Renerpho (talk) 15:30, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Create a new AFD for 1956 in Estonian television, etc., then put an updated tag on each of the articles pointing to that page. Same procedure, it's not actually a split. Reywas92Talk 15:40, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Renerpho And I am begging you not to nominate various years at the same time, please. I or other users can improve them but only with time. Please rather consider Draftifying them boldly or improving them little by little. They CAN be improved. The only year I checked (for Belgium) WAS (very) notable. And, unless I am mistaken, you cannot possibly have performed a reasonably thorough BEFORE for all those years. -Mushy Yank. 20:20, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- To the one that will close this, you have my best cheers. XFDCloser will bugged out with this one. Warm Regards, Miminity (Talk?) (me contribs) 14:07, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Miminity and Reywas92: Alright -- how do I do this? I only find explanations for how to bundle AfD's (and suggestions to do so for similar topics, which is why I did so here), but not how to split them. Renerpho (talk) 15:30, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: 1) for navigational reasons; part of a whole; deleting this would be disruptive and confusing (inviting to recreate 1974 for example) 2) this year is, on top of that, particularly notable in Belgian television!!! See page. Has a BEFORE been performed? -Mushy Yank. 20:06, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- The comment above is about 1982 in Belgian television, which I just finished improving and realised it was an hyper-bundled nom after having !voted via the script.. Doing the same for all these innumerous pages is simply IMPOSSIBLE and not reasonably expectable of willing users. Very STRONG PROCEDURAL KEEP bordering speedy. This is absolutely not manageable. -Mushy Yank. 20:09, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- There would be nothing disruptive about simply redirecting 1974 in Belgian television and other years to a merged 1970s in Belgian television. It would be more reader-friendly to have related content together rather than spread across multiple pages. Thesse currently have basically no content besides a line about Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest, and there should not be multiple standalone articles merely for the sake of having articles. I see no basis to keep the 1982 page as a standalone page when the one sentence you added could also be merged to Television in Belgium#History or a new 1980s in Belgian television. Reywas92Talk 22:03, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Estonia, Norway, and Sweden. -Mushy Yank. 20:23, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. This AfD flies against the orthodox practice of Wikipedia to list all the years of television of various countries. desmay (talk) 14:40, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- The navbox for 1966 only has pages for 16 countries, absurd to suggest that these pages are entitled to exist as pointless empty shells just because others do. Reywas92Talk 14:48, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- Keep For the years that only have one item, you can merge them to decade lists instead of year by year list. As for references, you click on the link to the article and can see what year and country its from. If you want to copy over references from there, to a list article, do so on your own, that is no reason to delete a list article. Dream Focus 23:56, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

- Comment: I found mentions of him in Swedish and Danish newspapers, but it seems to be routine match coverage: [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] These two[19][20] appear more focused on him but I'm not sure about the source. I'm leaning delete based on what I see here but it's worth noting that Swedish/Danish sources don't tend to index like some other places; I had to search those newspapers manually for his name. Zzz plant (talk) 04:06, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- These three, [21][22][23], may also be more than routine but I cannot assess properly them due to logins. Kaffet i halsen (talk) 09:57, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
