Speedy deletion nomination of File:Alvi Fokou Fopa training at Central Connecticut State University stadium, 2012.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Alvi Fokou Fopa training at Central Connecticut State University stadium, 2012.jpg and for sending in an email to our OTRS team. Unfortunately, the permissions received were not sufficient. Due to this a tag has been placed on the image requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. This is due to the image being tagged {{OTRS received}} for longer then 30 days without permissions being confirmed and no further responses have been received to attempt to resolve the permission issue.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --Majora (talk) 00:10, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Invitation from Wikipedia Asian Month 2016

Wikipedia Asian Month

Thanks for partipating Wikipedia Asian Month last year, and I hope you enjoy it. Last year, more than 7,000 articles contribute to Wikipedia in 43 languages in Wikipedia Asian Month, making us one of the largest event on Wikipedia. We will organize this event again in upcoming November, and would like to invite you join us again.

This year, we are lowering down the standards that you only need to create 4 (Four) articles to receive a postcard (new design), and articles only need to be more than 3,000 bytes and 300 words. We are also improving our postcard sending process, e.g. making the postcards right now, and collecting the address after the event ends without waiting other languges.

Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors". We will send you both digital copy, and a paper copy of the Ambassador certificate.

Sign up now

Thank you for considering! --AddisWang (talk)

A barnstar for you!

	The Barnstar of Diligence
	Thanks for helping me notice any bias in my editing! I am new at this so feedback is much appreciated. Veracherilynn (talk) 20:17, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Also re: my editing and your comments: No need to be rude. I am fully aware of intersectionality, thank you. I am also aware of the other articles. Perhaps a new section dedicated to the responses should be added? The responses listed prior to my edits were very one-sided so my intention was to balance that out with recent reporting on the issue. The article does not end with my edits. Hoping people will fill this out much more. Veracherilynn (talk) 20:38, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of MMMC Architects

The article MMMC Architects has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Didn't pass notability in 2010, doesn't pass now.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

List of performance artists

Can I ask why you're edit warring over adding redlinks to an article? You've provided no edit summaries to justify the reverts and you're certainly not discussing it on the article talk page. freshacconci (✉) 01:50, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, I see the completed article as proof of notability and references. Do you work for a gallery?

When I reverted there were no articles. Common courtesy is to provide edit summaries so other editors know what you are doing. All I saw were redlinks which tend to languish for years. If you were writing the articles, it's usually best to wait until they're live since it creates confusion. Likewise, using the edit summary would save us all some time. Edit warring is never the answer, particularly when you provide no indication of your intent. Someone with over 15,000 edits really should know that. As for your last question, why on earth would that matter? What possible relevance does it have? I don't but if I did, so what? As for notability, simply being "completed" is not "proof of notability" -- if it was, no article would ever be deleted. I have no idea if these people are notable. I didn't read the articles. I didn't know you'd written articles until I saw your response. Try to assume good faith (in regards to the working-for-a-gallery question) and communicate with other editors. It's basic politeness and as Wikipedia is not your personal playground, it's kind of required. freshacconci (✉) 16:15, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Native Art Department International moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Native Art Department International, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:41, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of Native Art Department International for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Native Art Department International is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Native Art Department International until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:35, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Completely disagree as you will see from my comments on the relevant discussion page. You will also hear from others with a similar view.--A21sauce (talk) 21:52, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

August 2017

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Native Art Department International. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Statements such as "Should this editor even be allowed on Wikipedia?" and personal attacks on a user talkpage accusing an editor of "white supremacy" when all they did was AfD an article are not appropriate Montanabw^(talk) 06:35, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia Asian Month 2017: Invitation to Participate

Hello! Last year, you signed up to participate in Wikipedia Asian Month (WAM) 2016 on the English Wikipedia. The event was an international success, with hundreds of editors creating thousands of articles on Asian topics across dozens of different language versions of Wikipedia.

I'd like to invite you to join us for Wikipedia Asian Month 2017, which once again lasts through the month of November. The goal is for users to create new articles on Asian-related content, each at least 3,000 bytes and 300 words in length. Editors who create at least four articles will receive a Wikipedia Asian Month postcard!

Also be sure to check out the Wikipedia Asian Art Month affiliate event - creating articles on Asian art topics can get you a Metropolitan Museum of Art postcard!

If you're interested, please sign up here for the English Wikipedia. If you are interested in also working on other language editions of Wikipedia, please visit the meta page to see other participating projects. If you have any questions, please visit our talk page.

Thank you!

The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Sunday November 19 Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met (RSVP on-wiki or at meetup.com). 10:30 am - 4:00 pm in Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Uris Center for Education 81st Street entrance, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue≥ Attendees should bring their own laptops and power cords.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dr. Jay's

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Dr. Jay's requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. reddogsix (talk) 23:11, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
