Speedy deletion of The Commas (folk)

A tag has been placed on The Commas (folk) 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 band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TN‑X-Man 14:20, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Userfied

Hi. It seemed very much to me as though you might not be finished with the above article, given that it was tagged in the same minute of creation. Since you inadvertently placed it a misspelling, however (double m), and since it did seem incomplete, I have moved it into your userspace at User:Asr/Comas. Once you've finished it, please feel free to move it back. If you aren't already familiar, you might want to look at the notability guideline for musical topics so that you can be sure that you indicate how this band meets those guidelines with reliable sources. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to let me know at my talk page. :) Alternatively, you can always ask for assistance at Wikipedia's help desk, which is typically manned around the clock by volunteers. And, oh, even though you've been here a while, I'm adding a welcome template since it seems we missed that step when you first arrived. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:33, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of SMSSecure

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

The subject is not notable per WP:GNG and WP:Notability (software). This article was copy-pasted from the TextSecure article and does not contain a single reliable source that is independent of SMSSecure that discusses (or even mentions) SMSSecure.

While all constructive 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.

Sure it is ! The original code is a fork ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asr (talk • contribs) 12:31, 29 July 2015‎

Please familiarize yourself with the following Wikipedia guideline: WP:Notability. If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it. Blog posts, personal websites, and Internet forum postings are largely not acceptable as sources (see WP:SPS). It also wouldn't hurt for you to familiarize yourself with WP:SIG and the core content policies. --Dodi 8238 (talk) 12:44, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Saying there is not a single secondary sources is just wrong. At least :

https://threatpost.com/textsecure-to-drop-support-for-encrypted-sms/111510
http://open-freax.fr/smssecure-retour-sms-chiffres/ (in french)
http://korben.info/crypter-sms-mms.html (in french, it IS a reference site in france)
https://whispersystems.org/blog/goodbye-encrypted-sms/ (which is not linked to smssecure… !)

In fact, one of the fork main's developper is french. It may explain why sources are in french.

Is "SLATE" a reliable and notable source ?

http://www.slate.fr/story/101631/internet-hyper-prudent (in french) Asr (talk) 13:22, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

See my reply at Talk:SMSSecure. The discussion about SMSSecure's notability should take place there. --Dodi 8238 (talk) 14:08, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Be sure to sign your posts

Hello. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:SMSSecure, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --Dodi 8238 (talk) 10:27, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, sorry I tend to forget. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asr (talk • contribs) 12:00, 30 July 2015‎

It applies to all talk pages, including your own. --Dodi 8238 (talk) 12:07, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Qatar Investment Authority, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page GFI. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:35, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
