February 2016

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Frank Girardot has been reverted.
Your edit here to Frank Girardot was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/frankgirardot) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 23:21, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Stelian Onufrei

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 Stelian Onufrei 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 person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it 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 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. JamesG5 (talk) 01:55, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi, please see the Wikipedia general notability guideline and specifically part 3 of the section on notable people dealing with candidates for office at WP:POLITICIAN. JamesG5 (talk) 01:55, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

@Spotlighter1182: Hello, I saw your comment on the Talk page of the article disputing the speedy deletion:

This candidate is the only credible challenger to Dana Rohrabacher and has already generated several notices in national and local publications. Please allow Mr. Onufrei's campaign to create a page that verifies his credibility as a legitimate candidate for U.S. Congress.

There are several issues here. First, as noted above, per WP:POLITICIAN being a candidate, credible or not, doesn't warrant a page here. Second, you just acknowledged you're working for his campaign and that means you have a conflict of interest. Per WP:COI and WP:PAID that must be declared both on this page and the talk page of the article, and you're not actually supposed to be editing it. Third, see WP:PROMO. It's not Wikipedia's role to verify anyone's credibility or support their campaign. JamesG5 (talk) 17:35, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Stelian Onufrei

Hello, Spotlighter1182,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Stelian Onufrei should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stelian Onufrei .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,
