Proposed deletion of Ayumi Kawasaki

The article Ayumi Kawasaki has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No independent, reliable sources about her. Only refs in article are her competition records, which do not count towards notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

DYK for Half-pipe skiing

On 23 November 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Half-pipe skiing, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that half-pipe skiing was added as a new event for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Half-pipe skiing. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Nomination of Vert skating for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Vert skating 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/Vert skating until a consensus is reached, and anyone 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 template from the top of the article. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 12:30, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion will take page at the AFD linked above, but the basic problem is a lack of independent notability. AFD is a discussion, open to everyone, where we take a week to discuss whether or not the article subject matter fits the criteria for inclusion here. It is not the same as a "speedy delete", where those are clearly obvious. The best thing to do is go to the AFD, and look at the reasons why it is there, and try to fix the article. If several days from now, it looks like it will be deleted, you can always make a request that the article be "userfied", meaning moved to a subpage in your userspace (something like User:XK8ER/Vert.x) while you work on it to get it up to speed. Some articles are tough to properly source and just take time which is why we do this on request. Most important, remember that my sending it to AfD isn't personal, I just stumbled across the article while patrolling new pages, saw that there was some question about notability, so sent it to a place where it can be openly discussed, not instantly deleted. This is part of the process here. I've had my own article there more than once. Participate in the discussion, keep a polite and positive attitude, and hopefully someone will come along that really knows the sport and can help save it Honestly, even though I sent it to AFD, nothing would please me more than someone fixing it so it passes criteria, to which I would happily withdraw the AFD.

Ext links not linked to info

You would help retention of articles you create by using WP:CITE rather than unlinked lists of potential sources at the bottom of the page.. cheers Satu Suro 11:21, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Matt_Salerno&curid=37542509&diff=522862553&oldid=522463500 huh? the article says he is and you remove it? not sure what you are up to, worth using summary words to explain what you are doing - the arts need work to fix up... Satu Suro 01:01, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

i know exactly what you means but there are only 43 vert skaters on wikipedia and there is no need to keep creating new categories, just keep it simple see http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Category:Vert_skaters XK8ER (talk) 01:36, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
