Speedy deletion of Christian books
editA tag has been placed on Christian books requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- Christian books and magazines are not sufficiently physically different from any other book or magazine to be notable enough for their own stand-alone articles. (I should know, as I'm editing this from the sound booth of my church during a Wednesday night service, where Christian books and magazines are stacked next to my desk.) - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:19, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Christian software

AfD nomination of Christian newspapers
editI have nominated Christian newspapers, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christian newspapers. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

AfD nomination of Christian software
editAn editor has nominated Christian software, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christian software and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 02:44, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Typo redirect Unsolicited
editHello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Unsolicited, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Unsolicited is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Unsolicited, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 03:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Christian books/newspapers/software
editThe problem is that you have basically taken the dictionary definition of each medium, added the word "Christian" to that definition, then given a short list of examples of the medium. Wikipedia policy specifically goes against dictionary definitions, a that is what the sister project Wiktionary is for.
Had you taken the approach of the article for Christian radio, which differentiates that particular format from other radio formats, you would probably be in the clear here. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:14, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've done some rewrite work on Christian media, with the intent that your original articles be redirected to this article, as eems to be the consensus with the AfD voters. I think you'll see what I had in mind. Feel free to add examples and links — preferably links to Wikipedia articles, but external link will do. Note that Religious broadcasting already exists as an article. Hope this helps. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:18, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
See also section headings
editPlease do not change headings from the Wikipedia standard "See also" to "Related Pages." I have reverted all these changes with AutoWikiBrowser. Thank you. -- Dougie WII (talk) 04:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Proposed Deletions
editVividenblem, I notice a number of proposed deletions for articles you've created and/or participated in, some of which you seem to oppose. I'd just like to remind you that if you truly oppose the proposed deletion of an article you can simply delete the prod template placed on the page. If you do so, the article must then be taken to Articles for Deletion where you can voice your opinion as to why it deserves to stay in Wikipedia. -- Atamachat 03:01, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Moving pages
editThank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of Life FM and pasted it into Life FM (Radio Network). This is what we call a "cut and paste move", and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming an article is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

An article you created maybe deleted soon: Tools which can help you
editThe article you created: Alexis Savaidis may be deleted from Wikipedia.
There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:
The faster you respond on this page, the better chance the article you created can be saved.
Finding sources which mention the topic of your article is the very best way to avoid an article being deleted {{Findsources3}}:
- Find sources for Alexis Savaidis: google news recent, google news old, google books, google scholar, NYT recent, NYT old, a9, msbooks, msacademic ...You can then cite these results in the Article for deletion discussion.
Also, there are several tools and helpful editors on Wikipedia who can help you:
- List the page up for deletion on Article Rescue Squadron. You can get help listing your page on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.
- You can request a mentor to help explain all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond to you before responding on the article for deletion page.
- When trying to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you.
Here is a list of acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept. - You can vote to merge the article into a larger or better established article on the same topic.
If your page is deleted, you still have many options available. Good luck! travb (talk) 12:07, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
editHello Vividenblem! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 738 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
editHi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
