Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Rhythmic adult contemporary radio stations in Canada

 

A tag has been placed on Category:Rhythmic adult contemporary radio stations in Canada requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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. Liz Read!

Move proposal of Kim's Convenience

FYI, it's been a year since the move discussion you proposed on the article was closed, and I re-proposed the move with the statistics since then. Talk:Kim's Convenience (TV series)#Requested move 24 June 2019 – Reidgreg (talk) 16:23, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

One Night

Thank you for your recent contribution to the discussion: I was beginning to despair that no-one else was ever going to notice this was going on and I learned my lesson about seeking out discussion myself, my having done so seemingly having put off someone who edited the article (you'd think if the editor wanted to delete it now, they'd have started an AfD rather than edit it at the time). Had I said nothing there'd have been no votes at all and the article would have remained undeleted by default. At least now there's someone other than me and the deletionists, who ignored everything I said, even going so far as trying to get the WorldFest article deleted (maybe you want to say something on that AfD too if it's still active) in an effort to chip away at this article's notability via the backdoor. Viztor appears to be a loose cannon and I stand by my somewhat bad faith assertion that all of this going around trying to get things deleted is so many sour grapes after having one of their own articles deleted.ZarhanFastfire (talk) 23:51, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

  • Update. For your possible amusement: Viztor left me some "advice" on my talkpage the other day about writing articles that "last"; then their third page was moved from mainspace.ZarhanFastfire (talk) 00:34, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Edit warrior keeps removing "studio album" from the article for Ed Sheeran's lastest studio album

Hello. A user called KoopaLoopa keeps removing "studio album" from the article for Ed Sheeran's upcoming studio album No.6 Collaborations Project. It has been discussed on the talk page and two users, including myself, have explained to them that it is indeed a studio album. Yet they’re not getting it and keep removing the term. Them being warned by an admin, and explained that the consensus is against them, would be helpful in preventing the disruption. Thanks. Relevant discussion is at [1], and their history of edit warring can be found here.—NØ 11:03, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

They were blocked as a sockpuppet of a long time vandal. Thanks for weighing in anyways.—NØ 13:25, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

CM. Named but not invested.

I saw this. Edna has been named but not yet invested so has she, and the others recently named, actually received the order? If you look at this she isn't listed as having the Order of Canada. Something could happen between now and the investiture date to cancel the appointment. This seems like adding the new premier the day after the election even if they haven't taken office.

Sidney Crosby's duplicate category

Hi Bearcat, this is an urgent message. Some user by the name of User:Shadowbryan25 has added Category:People from Halifax, Nova Scotia but there is already Category:Sportspeople from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I cannot remove Category:People from Halifax, Nova Scotia because the article is protected indefinitely. For my request could you go to the article titled Sidney Crosby and remove Category:People from Halifax, Nova Scotia and talk to User:Shadowbryan25 do not restore Category:People from Halifax, Nova Scotia because it was already in a subcategory. There is already Category:People from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia because is Cole Harbour is part of Halifax, Nova Scotia. If User:Shadowbryan25 continues to restore the Category:People from Halifax, Nova Scotia category. Tell User:Shadowbryan25 to stop restoring the Category:People from Halifax, Nova Scotia category. Thanks fro the urgent message and I will look forward to your reply. 207.102.255.232 (talk) 23:55, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of CBT (disambiguation)

 

The article CBT (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

this is orphan page. It is currently preventing the move of CBT to this location. I want to move "CBT" to this to preserve edit history and then redirect CBT by default to "Cognitive Behaviour Therapy" with an other uses link here.

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.

  • (talk page watcher) @Not gain: No, Prod isn't used for redirects, WP:RFD exists. And even if Prod had been appropriate you should not have removed the redirect pre-emptively. But as CBT has existed as a dab page for 15 years, the decision whether it now has a "Primary topic" would need discussion on its talk page, not a move wanted by a single editor. I have reverted your edit. PamD 08:12, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
@Notgain:Re-ping - auto"correct" problem!PamD 08:14, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
@PamD: The page CBT was created 16 years ago, it was a redirect to Cognitive behaviour therapy. I ran a comparison using google ngram and it shows that the other items on the DAB are very rare in comparison to Cognitive behaviour therapy. I thought it would be uncontroversial. There were no inbound links to CBT (disambiguation) so it wasn't breaking any redirects. My intention was to delete CBT (disambiguation) so CBT could be moved there to preserve the history and then create a redirect from a new CBT page to Cognitive behaviour therapy. I'll open a discussion on Talk:CBT to get check for any objections. thanks Notgain (talk) 08:48, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
It was created 16 years ago and was turned into a dab page 15 years ago. I don't think it's an uncontroversial move. Please discuss it on the talk page. Thanks. PamD 10:06, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
@Notgain: OK, Googling suggests that you may be right about the Primary Topic (first 3 1/2 pages of ghits), but Prodding a redirect was an unusual way to set about it. Your recent change to the top of the dab page actually muddles the issue by suggesting that there are two related but different pages to which CBT should redirect: presumably it should (probably) go to Cognitive behavioral therapy but with a hatnote directing to the "umbrella term" list as well as to the dab page. Propose it as at Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Requesting_a_single_page_move and all will probably be well, with appropriate discussion. PamD 10:18, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
@PamD: Ok, thank you. Notgain (talk) 10:42, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
