List of city and municipality nicknames in the Philippines

Hello, I noticed you reverted back the nicknames for the towns. But please provide reliable sources for the nicknames. Newspapers and books which mentions the nickname along with the etymology or origin of the nickname is best. I removed dubious nicknames such as regionalized "capital" claims "Strawberry Capital in (insert province here)" and "Home of (insert landmark here)" (since tourist promotions tend to introduce a tourist destination as by their landmark and may not be the nickname of the city itself; unless for example the title appears in a non-tourism article; e.g. The President visited the Ati-Atihan Town for a aquaculture conference and said article does not discuss the festival in depth) since there's a tendency that there is no available sources for these. These nicknames may be in fact adopted but we couldn't include them without any citation for verification purposes. And we should avoid original research or personal knowledge as sole source.

WP:AIV

I've removed all of the reports you made to the vandalism noticeboard because, although perhaps well-intentioned, they are a waste of administrator time. Please read the instructions at the top of the noticeboard page before filing reports in the future. The IPs you reported either hadn't done enough edits and/or were not warned properly.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:53, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You added them back to AIV a few minutes after I left this message for you. I'm going to assume you hadn't read the message. However, if you do it again, you risk being blocked for abuse of process.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:02, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Panay Electric Company

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 Panay Electric Company, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://panayelectric.com/index.php/home/history. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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. PRAXIDICAE🌈 13:28, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

August 2022

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove speedy deletion notices from pages you created yourself, you may be blocked from editing. PRAXIDICAE🌈 14:06, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of MORE Electric and Power Corporation for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article MORE Electric and Power Corporation is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MORE Electric and Power Corporation until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Alexandermcnabb (talk) 07:18, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the information. I'll try to make the article better. Merd123 (talk) 14:55, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Iloilo River Esplanade

A tag has been placed on Category:Iloilo River Esplanade indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz ^{Read!
