Could we add climbing to the del sort list

Can we add climbing as a WP:DS category. It is a broad topic that covers rock climbing, mountaineering, ice climbing and competition climbing. I think it would be worth adding? Aszx5000 (talk) 10:20, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do people think that this request to add climbing to the del sort list is feasible? I almost missed the AfD of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Sherman (climber) which was del sorted into sports people? thanks. Aszx5000 (talk) 14:41, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

South Sudan

Could we add South Sudan (under Geographic/Africa) as a WP:DS category for AfDs such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manyiel Wugol? South Sudan and Sudan are two separate countries. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 02:44, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Arthur-related redirects for discussion

I can't leave notice about this in the usual way, because that assumes an AFD rather than something else. I just nominated 5 Arthur-related redirects for discussion / possible deletion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 July 26#Bionic Bunny, et al. These are in-universe fictional elements (i.e., doubly fictional). See the nom for more information. - dcljr (talk) 04:51, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Madagascar

Could we add Madagascar as a sorting category for AfDs? ꧁Zanahary꧂ 23:54, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Script

Is there some sort of script that has been written or could be written to easily have a drop-down where categories could be added and all edits made automatically? ~Darth Stabro^Talk • Contribs 16:14, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is there something you're thinking of that isn't covered by the tools listed in Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting § Scripts and tools? I personally use User:Enterprisey/delsort. Skynxnex (talk) 16:22, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, perfect. I hadn't seen those. ~Darth Stabro^Talk • Contribs 17:20, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
