Kimberly Lucas

Thank you for creating Kimberly Lucas, which I read with interest. I did refactor some of the text as it was close to a direct copy of the source (e.g. [1]), in particular the last paragraph. Please avoid copy pasting text from other websites, as this (with the exception of quoted material marked as such) raises copyright concerns.--Eostrix  (^{🦉 hoot} _hoot🦉]) 15:47, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Diascund, Virginia moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Diascund, Virginia, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Proposed deletion of Charlie Holt (Episcopal clergyman)

The article Charlie Holt (Episcopal clergyman) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article should be deleted because this person's biography does not meet the Wikipedia notability guidelines as "worthy of notice". This article is about an Episcopal clergyperson who is not a bishop or incoming bishop (bishop coadjutor), and is not a widely published academic. While it is normal for Episcopal bishops and bishop coadjutors to have Wikipedia articles, it is not normal for random Episcopal priests who are not noteworthy academics to have individual Wikipedia articles. Looking back at the edit history for this article, it seems to only exist because Charlie Holt was a part of a contested (and still unsettled) election to become bishop coadjutor of Florida. The initial article dates from around the first contested election. While it could certainly be argued that the contested bishop elections in Florida themselves are worthy of notice, simply being a candidate in those elections does not meet the threshold of worthy of notice. Further to the point that this biographical article only exists because of the contested election, the vast majority of the text in the article is not devoted to narrating the life events of Charlie Holt but rather around the contested election. This biographical article is really more about the contested bishop elections than about the person Charlie Holt. It is currently unsettled whether Charlie Holt will become a bishop coadjutor. If he does, then he should have a biographical wikipedia article. But until it becomes clear whether he will become a bishop, he does not meet the threshold of worthy of notice to have a biographical wikipedia article.

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.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:00, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
