Information icon Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:London International Festival of Early Music, from its old location at User:R4raz/sandbox/London International Festival of Early Music. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liancetalk/contribs 16:15, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, R4raz

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Pppery, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, LIFEM (disambiguation), for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

  1. Edit the page
  2. Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Pppery}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Hi, thank you! I do disagree with this though because the disambiguation page says 'if an ambiguous term has no primary topic, then that term needs to lead to a disambiguation page.' I would say that the Exploratory Music festival doesn't qualify as a primary topic for 'LIFEM'. The two festivals are both niche music festivals which take place over a few days in London, so they are (I would say) equivalent in significance and thus neither qualify as a primary topic in the way it's set out in the Wikipedia guidelines.
I cannot claim objectivity in this, as I said in my original notes, but I feel that if there is a primary topic it should be the Early Music festival, as it's actually still an event which happens (the next one is in November this year, whereas the Exploratory Music festival last occurred in 2012), which seems like an objective criteria for a primary topic, but I'd also accept a disambiguation page if current activity is not something which Wikipedia feels should have a bearing on the relevance of the topic (I'm trying to avoid the 'what comes to mind' trap!). Traffic to both pages is low but similar.
I've looked down the deletion criteria which you linked to and I can't see an obvious candidate for which rule I violated in creating this disambiguation page so I'd appreciate more direction there if possible so I can understand where I went wrong. R4raz (talk) 14:38, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
