Revert at Oklahoma City

Greetings!

When undoing an edit, make sure the version you're restoring is correct. While you did correctly identify an edit as vandalism, the prior edit was also vandalism. I've fixed the page, but please take the extra few seconds to double check who, in this case, the actual mayor of Oklahoma City is. Thanks! Stedil (talk) 22:36, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Bo'oh'o'wa'er

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Bo'oh'o'wa'er requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at [[1]]. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
