Proposed deletion of Division of Nicholls

edit
 

The article Division of Nicholls has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A good faith creation, but this is still only a proposed redistribution and is subject to change, so this article is premature

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.

Re: the above proposed deletions

edit

Hey - just noting that the redistributions are only proposals at this stage, so we cannot have articles on merely proposed division names. There are often changes in this stage of the process, and any of these names could be abandoned in the final redistribution. We need to wait until the redistributions are finalised, most likely some time in July. Frickeg (talk) 21:10, 8 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sorry if this wasn't clear, but "good faith" is a good thing (WP:GOODFAITH) - it basically means they were created with the right intentions. But as above, these redistributions are only a draft. This is really something I'd rather not have to take to AfD because it really is a simple factual matter. These new divisions might be created, but they might not.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tonyabbottville

edit
 

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Tonyabbottville, is not in accordance with our policies. 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.

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.
