Disambiguation link notification for January 27 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Highnam Woods, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dogging (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi, I've been doing some cleanup on articles which became FAs a long time ago and the cleanup list for WP Somerset. One issue which has been identified is on the Exmoor article. You kindly added a reference to Ballance, David K. and Gibbs, Brian D. (2003) The birds of Exmoor and the Quantocks (currently ref 90) back in 2008.

Proposed deletion of List of United Kingdom bird clubs and ornithological societies edit

 

The article List of United Kingdom bird clubs and ornithological societies has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication as to how this article satisfies WP:SAL. The vast majority of the entries are red links which seem to have little chance of ever becoming viable stand-alone articles. Removing them with leave only a few entries, whose Wikipedia notability also appears questionable at best.

Proposed deletion of Ruth Lea edit

 

The article Ruth Lea has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Very little biographical coverage in RSes; CBE might suggest some notability, but even that needs the material, which appears not to exist. WP:BEFORE doesn't show any either - mostly content by the subject, but vanishingly little about the subject, which would meet any of the four prongs of WP:JOURNALIST/WP:ECONOMIST. Does independent, third-party, biographical coverage of the subject in reliable sources exist?

Proposed deletion of Lill pin edit

 

The article Lill pin has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not really seeing significant usage in sources outside of circular sources, even as an entomologist. Even more common minutens wouldn't get their own article. Doubtful on anything to merge elsewhere either.

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.
