Your edits at Territorial Army (India) edit

Hi Maratawarrior. I have been forced to place extended confirmed protection on this article to prevent your edit-warring to include Muthukrishnan Iyyappan on the list of notable members. If the person does not have a Wikipedia article, they are not sufficiently notable for inclusion on the list of notable members. You have been directed to participate in the discussion on the article's talk page, and I suggest you do so. Further edit-warring about this will inevitably result in a block of your account. Regards, Fish+Karate 13:19, 6 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Dear Fish+Karate...I have very clearly mentioned and clarified the references for the content in question. There is no biographic information about the mentioned officer, Muthukrishnan Iyyappan. Only those which are directly in relation to his contribution to Territorial Army was mentioned. As a Territorial Army officer myself, I can vouch that these contents are true. Also, inline citation also give those information. I am not sure why a specific editor is so insistent on deleting this material just because he felt that this officer's contribution is not noteworthy. I would encourage you to go through the content and the citations / reference given to judge for yourself if the activities are noteworthy or not. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Capt Muthukrishnan Iyyappan edit

 

The article Capt Muthukrishnan Iyyappan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NOTABILITY. I noticed that out of the 6 references listed only 1 has a passing mention of the subject and that source is Quora.com. I doubt if it counts.

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.

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution edit

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Territorial Army (India) into Capt Muthukrishnan Iyyappan. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 02:58, 13 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Prem mehta 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.

A tag has been placed on Prem mehta, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ... discospinster talk 19:22, 2 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Suggestions on WP:GNG edit

Hi Maratawarrior, Welcome to Wikipedia and I am glad that you are contributing to other pages. However, I have some suggestion for you which is in the space of creating new articles. Currently, you have created two articles Capt Muthukrishnan Iyyappan and Prem mehta which have no WP:GNG and thus should not be articles on Wikipedia (they have been nominated for deletion by 2 independent editors other than me which indicates that other editors also thinks so). I would highly recommend you to start off with contributions to existing pages based on WP:RS. Once you have a better understanding of WP:GNG and more importantly WP:BLP, you can create new articles, preferably using the WP:AFC route. I am also going to @Fish and karate: for further guidance. Thanks. Adamgerber80 (talk) 19:38, 2 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much Adamgerber80. Will follow your advise. ... Maratawarrior talk Maratawarrior (talk) 18:00, 9 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

October 2018 edit

Hello, Maratawarrior. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but  Prem mehta has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD#G11. "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION." These must be rewritten from scratch from "reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject." See WP:RS.

Wikipedia:Identifying blatant advertising#Typical signs of blatant advertising contains information about content to avoid. For more information on content that may be perceived as promotional, click User:Dlohcierekim/promo. These are just rough guides. Pages can avoid all those pitfalls and still be glaringly obvious ad copy. Sometimes pages meeting WP:CSD#G11 give the appearance of an editor violating Wikipedia:Conflict of interest or WP:PAID. Please read and heed them if they apply to you. Please read Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources . Template:cite has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{references}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there.

If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard or articles for creation to guide you through the creation process. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems.

You may find this tool useful: Google custom search Don't feel discouraged. My first attempts at creating articles were deleted too.

There is more information at Wikipedia:Community portal. There is help available at THE TEAHOUSE. Cheers, and happy editing. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 19:48, 2 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Muthukrishnan Iyyappan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Capt Muthukrishnan Iyyappan. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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.
