Proposed deletion of Alec John Such

edit
 

The article Alec John Such has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Your contributed article, "Falling In" smoke and mirrors

edit
 

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, "Falling In" smoke and mirrors. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Smoke & Mirrors (Lifehouse album). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Smoke & Mirrors (Lifehouse album). If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. — Smjg (talk) 17:04, 1 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Bubbling under and Heatseeker

edit

Please note that Bubbling under and Heatseekers should not be added to the main chart, see WP:BILLBOARDCHARTS. It violates WP:SYNTH and is therefore not considered sourced. Hzh (talk) 10:14, 2 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Maroon 5 discography, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Adding Bubbling Under to Hot 100 is considered a violation of WP:SYNTH and not considered sourced content. Hzh (talk) 09:50, 3 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Taking One for the Team. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Jdcomix (talk) 17:27, 6 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Get Your Heart On!. Jdcomix (talk) 17:28, 6 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked temporarily from editing for persistently making disruptive edits. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Katietalk 17:35, 6 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:Lifehouse: Greatest Hits

edit
 

Hello, Ethanjaffee. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Lifehouse: Greatest Hits".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Sam Sailor 17:37, 3 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
