Welcome!

Hello, ABAlphaBeta, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Nura language, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Nura language

Please do not introduce inappropriate pages, such as Nura language, to Wikipedia. Doing so is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

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.

What exactly is your reasoning? @Praxidicae ABAlphaBeta (talk) 11:42, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

It's fairly obvious made up nonsense. Reddit and other user generated sites don't make something valid just because some random person on the internet decided to troll people with some nonsense. Praxidicae (talk) 11:44, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

So you're saying that since the hoax isn't elaborate enough it doesn't deserve the page? If so that's entirely fair, I'll keep it to my own draftspace! ABAlphaBeta (talk) 11:48, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not reddit. Random things someone put on YouTube do not belong here in mainspace, userspace or draft space. Praxidicae (talk) 11:50, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

There's no need to get haughty. Encyclopedias are useless and uninformative on most subjects due to a lack of analysis. ABAlphaBeta (talk) 12:47, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi ABAlphaBeta, Wikipedia articles need to summarize secondary sources. Reddit threads, self-published YouTube videos, and deleted versions of Spanish Wikipedia articles are considered either unreliable or primary sources. Summarizing them here would be original research. So, I would recommend waiting until multiple reliable sources such as scholarly papers or newspapers (well, newspapers are reliable in Wikipedia terms ) have given significant coverage of this hoax, that is a good indication that the hoax is notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. If you ever have any further questions about article-writing, come ask at the Teahouse – Thjarkur (talk) 12:54, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Nura language

Since the article itself wasn't a hoax but rather documenting a hoax it didn't fall under the speedy deletion criteria. I've proposed it for deletion instead, meaning that if nobody objects the article may be deleted in 7 days. If you do object to this proposed deletion, you may remove the {{Proposed deletion/dated}} tag from the top of the article, but note that all articles require reliable sources so it would most likely later be nominated for a deletion discussion. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:06, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

No that's fine, and you can delete it immediately if you want, your arguments make sense ABAlphaBeta (talk) 16:15, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
