Proposed Deletion - Marklen Kennedy

Good Morning JeffG. I understand if you need to delete the page for Marklen Kennedy. I just want to explain. I am VERY new here. I meant the page to be a work-in-progress, a rough draft. I did it here because all of the coding is brand new to me and I need the practice. Generally, I do all my writing in a word document. I am still sorting through the long list of sources I was sent to work with also. Anyway, I just wanted to explain that I meant no wrong or offense. Just new to this sort of word processing. Can the page be sent to my sandbox somehow so I can continue to work on it? Dottie S Block (talk) 14:20, 12 March 2017 (UTC)DottieSBlock

 Done, please use User:Dottie S Block/Marklen Kennedy until you think it is ready, and read Wikipedia:So you made a userspace draft, WP:NACTOR, WP:NBIO, and WP:GNG.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 16:00, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Delete Articles RENÓ

Hi, the article I deleted few minutes ago, of which you reverted are that of my information and I want it deleted immediately from deletionpedia.org. This article was created by me in 2016, as practicals on editing, which eventually got deleted on Wikipedia on 2nd August 2016. When the birth name in the article is searched using search engines such as google.com, it appears online. Kindly treat this matter with urgency to help me totally delete it. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renotune (talk • contribs) 23:53, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Uw-block3notalk

A tag has been placed on Template:Uw-block3notalk requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is an unused duplicate of another template, or a hard-coded instance of another template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is not actually the same as the other template noted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page explaining how this one is different so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can 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. 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. 120.155.53.171 (talk) 05:56, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Vicki Calhoun edits

My source for coming to Vicki Calhoun's  Page is Vicki Calhoun.  I work for her  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lsinger9404 (talk • contribs) 18:26, 27 March 2017 (UTC) 

Thank you for that information. She is what we call a "primary source". We prefer to use "secondary sources" here, generally articles about the subjects by reputable neutral second parties, not by people close to the subjects. Please see WP:V, WP:RS, WP:COI, WP:AUTO, and WP:PAID. I am prepared to notify WP:COIN of that information if you do not comply with WP:PAID.   — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 22:06, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

@Lsinger9404: Now I remember more about this, including a reading of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vicki Calhoun, and I have some questions:

1. Is it fair to assume that you want to improve http://deletionpedia.org/en/Vicki_Calhoun to the point that it can survive as a Wikipedia article?
2. Did you edit that article as Altheria3 or Marion123, or the original as Teshiat1?
3. Why the sudden interest in her article this month?
4. Why is she interested in keeping and improving the article, rather than removing huge swaths of it, or the whole thing?
5. It appears she did not prevail in her bid to join the Fullerton Joint Union High School District board on November 2, 2010, coming in fourth out of five with 20,199 votes, or 18.8% of the vote. What has she been doing since then?
6. Of the information she edited out of "Candidate for the Fullerton Joint Union High School District: Vicki R. Calhoun". SmartVoter.org. Orange, Los Angeles County, California: League of Women Voters of California Education Fund. January 12, 2017, was anything untrue? If so, what? Note that the previous version is archived here. Did any of it just cast her in a bad light? If so, what and why? If she were to license those two documents cc-by or cc-by-sa via email to WP:OTRS, that would help. If she or others close to her have press clippings about her, those would certainly help, even if you don't have perfect citations for them yet.
7. What is her middle name (or complete given name)? Lots of people change their names for professional purposes, that's not an issue.
8. Where and when was she born, and to whom?
9. Is this from here a photo of her? It seems to be a photoshopped crop of https://img.tineye.com/result/a45cff462b844ef1a685fb04d9efce50ae692732f5752cdc3fca05ea5561bda8?size=160 , a scaled-down version of what used to be here and displayed by this. Do you have anything better, preferably with a cc-by or cc-by-sa license?
