Why to delete this page so soon after its creation?
[edit]@JHunterJ: Hello, I have just created this page a few days ago. So, not many pages already point to it. Please, could you give time to the time. I have also still to understand the functioning of disambiguation page with hatnotes to exactly understand the exact problem stated in the banner (page proposed to deletion) you placed on this page and maybe to fix it. However, I agree that the ITZ acronym is likely not so popular on Wikipedia and that this page remains to be populated with more links. It reminds me the theory of nucleation and crystal growth for precipitate ageing and their recrystallization: if the initial number of precipitated nuclei is insufficient (too slight oversaturation of the system), they rapidly dissolve and no further growth is possible, so a minimum critical mass is necessary to survive; but here it is the chemist who speaks ;-). Thanks for your understanding and some patience. Best regards, Shinkolobwe (talk) 13:56, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- It's a disambiguation page, not a link target nor a science experiment. When in the future there is additional ambiguity for the title "ITZ", then in the future that ambiguity can be disambiguated. See the hatnote reached by either ITZ or Itz for what I mean by navigation by hatnotes. If other topics on Wikipedia can be added to the page now, it can be deprodded. -- JHunterJ (talk) 14:46, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
- OK, I have seen your hatnotes and now I better understand what you exactly meant by navigation by hatnotes: they are fine for me. In the meantime, I have also found a third topic that I have just added to the disambiguation page:
- Intertidal zone, also sometimes written Inter-tidal zone, the area of a coast exposed only at low tide. Shinkolobwe (talk) 21:33, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
- And still some other pages:
- In the Zone, a 2003 studio album by Britney Spears
- In the Zone (song), 1999 Ivy Queen/Wyclef Jean song
- Britney Spears: In the Zone, 2004 DVD video / EP by Britney Spears
- In the Zone (psychology), Flow (psychology), full immersion in an activity
- Interzone (book), a collection of short stories by William S. Burroughs
- and there are still other similar pages that can be discovered by progressively typing the character string "In the zone" in the search engine box. Shinkolobwe (talk) 22:29, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

itz in the ancient Maya culture
[edit]A flowing substance of the underworld and heavenly realms that the Maya employ in their shamanistic practices to establish a spiritual connection between the world of the gods and mortals. Information still to be added to the pages dealing with Maya death rituals or Maya dedication rituals.
In the ancient Maya culture itz also refers to a flowing substance of the underworld and heavenly realms that the Maya employ in their shamanistic practices. In the Maya culture and funeral rites, itz is a sacred liquid sustaining living creation and an ingredient by which spiritual connection is made between the world of the gods and mortals. Whereas the word itz can refer in modern Mayan languages to milk, sweat, tears and other excrescences of living origin, more often than not the word refers to a plant exudate (Freidel et al. 1993:411), primarily sap or nectar (Barrera Vàzquez 1980:271–272; Taube 1992).

rearranging the pages
[edit]@BegbertBiggs: I reverted the edits that resulted in WP:MALPLACED, but I'll be happy to execute the move of the disambiguation page to the base name once the AfD discussion has been closed. -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:11, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
