Speedy deletion nomination of Ketan Kadam
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 Ketan Kadam requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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.

Do you remember User:GrahamBould?
Hello Moonriddengirl,
You may be interested in this discussion at WP:CCI, involving edits by User:GrahamBould, whom you were involved with around 2009. A lot of their problematic edits had been dealt with by you and other volunteers at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gastropods/Subpage for organizing CopyVio Cleanup, but some that you missed have now resurfaced. One article had most of its revision history deleted yesterday (1251 revisions spanning 18 years), and there are about 1700 articles that may be affected. legal@wikimedia.org has been made aware, as suggested today at WP:AN, but maybe you can remember what happened back then (as you appear to be the only editor who was involved in 2009, and who is at least somewhat active as of 2024), and how to best proceed. Thank you! Renerpho (talk) 06:44, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
Protection on Wikipedia:Reusing Wikipedia content
Hello! I just wanted to quickly ask if you would object to lowering the protection on Wikipedia:Reusing Wikipedia content from full protection down to a level that would allow others to make minor bold changes. In particular, the editnotice on the page even says "While you may be bold in making minor changes to this page, you should be extremely cautious about making substantive changes", but this is not possible due to full protection since 2009. EggRoll97 (talk) 03:01, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! I'm probably way too late to be useful to you here, EggRoll97. Sorry about that! I'm not sure if this has been considered by community or a decision made, but I think it probably ought to be a consensus consideration. My thought is simply this - that particular page is a contract between Wikipedia's editors and reusers, and serious errors can lead to very serious ramifications for people who take that page on good faith and think they are complying. The Wikipedia:General disclaimer is fully protected for a very similar reason, as explained at Wikipedia:Protection_policy#Permanent_protection. However, that policy does not say whether "Reusing Wikipedia content" IS among "Pages that should not be modified for legal reasons" - which is why I think consensus is appropriate. But I myself think it is. Again, very sorry for my delay. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:48, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
