Speedy deletion of Amy Lynne Holbrook

A tag has been placed on Amy Lynne Holbrook 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 person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Ziggy Sawdust 20:24, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to Miss Earth 2008 constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. —Angelo De La Paz (talk) 12:48, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gwapotel

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Gwapotel, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Copyright issue

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Hundreds' of dolphins saved in Bataan article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question at the "Help Desk". You can also leave a message on my talk page. Please note that this is not a news source. If you wish to contribute original news content, you may do so at Wikinews. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 20:02, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Indio

We already have wiktionary:en:indio and its meaning is wider than just local Filipinos. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 19:36, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi. There were a couple of problems here, not the least of which were the implausible title and nearly incomprehensible text, no offense meant. It also came off as original research, which isn't allowed. Please take a moment to read WP:YFA and WP:NOT as well. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:39, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

PS: I forgot to reinforce what RHaworth pointed out. Indio is a disambiguation page for everything from the Spanish word to a city in California. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:43, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate that, but the concept is better suited to a dictionary, not its own article in an encyclopedia. I did take a moment to clean up your entry on the disambiguation page. That indicates the use of the term as you're putting it, but again, it simply isn't worth an article on its own. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:45, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I genuinely hope that you do. In fact, why not add the information you've already gathered and incorporate it into the existing articles? It could even go into the list of racial slurs page. In short, very specialized information is best served in larger articles. I just added a bit of info at aerial photography which would never stand on its own in a separate article. You can check the edit history to see what I mean.--PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:54, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Simply recreating the article has its own problems, namely the fact that you can be blocked from editing due to an edit war. Before you recreate it again, please add the info and the references to the places I've suggested. I'll see what I can do with the article as a stand-alone, but I can't guarantee it'll stay. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:00, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Never mind; it's been deleted. Best course of action at this point is to incorporate the info within the existing articles. That's actually the best place for it. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:02, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Philippine Balangay Expedition

The article Philippine Balangay Expedition has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Opinion piece.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 01:58, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
