Speedy deletion nomination of Vidhur Aryavarta/fine-structure constant spectrum

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Vidhur Aryavarta/fine-structure constant spectrum requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, image description page, image talk page, mediawiki page, mediawiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, or user talk page from the article space.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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.

Reliable secondary sources

edit

  Hello, I'm DVdm. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Fine-structure constant, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please find reliable wp:secondary sources before adding this. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 10:56, 24 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did to Fine-structure constant, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 11:03, 24 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Fürstentum Germania

edit
 

The article Fürstentum Germania has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication that the subject meets the notability guidelines for inclusion.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 05:29, 4 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
