Speedy deletion nomination of Shabier Bhawoodien

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Shabier Bhawoodien, is considered vandalism and is prohibited. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

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. —Mainframe98 _talk 21:57, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

RE: MY SPEEDY DELETION NOMINATION

As far as I understand, no. Maybe if you then publish something about it; I don't know enough about that to say that with certainty. If you want to find out more, the policy pages Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Identifying and using primary sources should help somewhat. If you are in doubt, you can ask over on the teahouse. —Mainframe98 _talk 14:40, 15 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: JG Meiring (March 22)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:JG Meiring and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Bids for the 2040 Summer Olympics moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Bids for the 2040 Summer Olympics. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources, it has too many problems of language or grammar and and structural problems. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 13:21, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New page creation

Hi my new friend JohnTalks. I hope you are fine. You do not yet appear familiar with Wikipedia's key policies and guidelines. The general information on new page creation found HERE and especially HERE may help you, as may the referencing for beginners tutorial. Two good sets of Wikipedia guidelines that I have found really useful can be found HERE, regarding verifiability and HERE, regarding the need to maintain a neutral point of view. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing, creating pages, and being a Wikipedian! I hope this advice helps. Please let me know if you would like help with your 2040 Olympics draft. Good luck and best wishes, BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 13:24, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
