Speedy deletion nomination of Jeremy Bell (disambiguation)
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 Jeremy Bell (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
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.

Deletion discussion about Sebastian Cole
Hello, Boleyn, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Jamiebuba, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Sebastian Cole, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sebastian Cole (2nd nomination).
You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. 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.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Jamiebuba}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Hi Boleyn
The user Norprobr is constantly vandalizing several articles referring to the Dominican Republic, I wrote him a message to stop doing that, he did not want to read it and even deleted it from his discussion page, do you know an administrator who you can contact to talk to him and block it for vandalism?

Refs
When creating articles like Thomas Santon, please take the time to format the reference properly rather than leave a bare URL for someone else to tidy up after you. You've got the source in front of you and are familiar with it, so it will be so much less work for you than for someone else coming to the article later. Thanks. PamD 08:27, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, Pam, the link works perfectly fine, and doesn't need a tidy. If anyone knows how to make it look better, has the time and wants to do it, they can, but that isn't me and the reader has all they need. Boleyn (talk) 09:06, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
- I find that very disappointing: WP:BAREURLS is an information page rather than a guideline, but most experienced editors understand that a bare URL is not an acceptable reference. Please reconsider your stance and provide a proper reference: either treating "History of parliament" as a website or, as I've done for Robert Holme (died 1433), treating it as a chapter from the print book, as set out in the header of the article. Thanks. PamD 16:39, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
- We have had this conversation before, Pam, and am just going to have to agree to disagree. Boleyn (talk) 22:33, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Boleyn,
Please do not move an article from main space to Draft space more than once. It is not appropriate. Article creators have the option to object and move an article that has been draftified back to main space and you shouldn't move-war about it. This especially true with articles that have been created by experienced editors and, in this case, an administrator. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:45, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Liz, thank you, I am surprised an admin's creation wouldn't be autopatrolled, and also that an admin would create an unreferenced article on the mainspace. I hadn't realised it had been moved twice though - no edit war was intended. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 18:19, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
List of pareidolia in astronomy, biology, and geology
Frankly, I'm not surprised when I see that my (experimental) list of pareidolia is, since january the 4th, "not really" in Wikipedia (as a temporary draft page). I only want to see if other astronomy-related Wikipedians know much more than I do and know lots of reliable, independent sources to put them in this page. I (myself) discover one after the other exquisite astronomy-related Wikipedia articles with named astronomical objects in them, and a couple of days ago I thought: Why not create an alphabetic overview of these named objects, especially those which show pareidolia? And immediately after I was thinking about this I had a list! Reliable and independent sources... that's indeed the problem (sigh). Well, let's see what happens with the draft page. If no one feels something to put reliable and independent sources into this page, then this list is a sinking ship. DannyCaes (talk) 18:09, 4 January 2023 (UTC) @Hi DannyCaes, thanks for working on this. Where did you get the information to create the page? Kind regards, Boleyn (talk) 14:35, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
- First of all, I have to mention only one reliable (printed) source that I know of, and that is: GLOSSARY OF SELECTED ASTRONOMICAL NAMES, which is a section in the book SKY CATALOGUE 2000.0, VOLUME 2: Double Stars, Variable Stars, and Nonstellar Objects (Edited by Alan Hirshfeld and Roger W. Sinnott, 1985). That book contains a very interesting alphabetic overview of names and nicknames of astronomical objects such as star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies. Of course, we are the year 2023 now, and since 1985 many new names of recently discovered astronomical objects appeared in lots of monthly magazines such as Sky & Telescope and Astronomy. Since 1994 or so we have also the internet, full of astronomy-related websites which contain all sorts of names and nicknames of astronomical objects. And now, thanks to Wikipedia, these names also appear in astronomy-related Wiki articles. Many names in my draft-list are "click-able" to get these Wikipedia articles, and many of them do indeed show these names. Unfortunately, the sources of these names are (in these articles) not mentioned. Who invented these names? Where? When? Why? Unanswered questions which can't linger on in Wikipedia. It (my draft-list) could be a very interesting overview of pareidolia in nature (especially astronomy-related pareidolia), BUT... as far as I know there's only one reliable source: the above mentioned book which was printed in the year 1985. DannyCaes (talk) 14:55, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- The article PAREIDOLIA has still a red colored "link" to my draft list. I think it's my duty to re-install the original small list of Other examples in Nature which show the geology-related pareidolia and only few pareidolia in astronomy, plus one example in biology (the crab). It was this list which was expanding rather quickly (my contributions), to become almost as large as the largest thing we know: the universe (sorry, I was a bit too motivated). DannyCaes (talk) 15:10, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @DannyCaes Aren't most constellations pareidolia? The Zodiac signs, Orion (constellation) with his belt, the Plough / Big Dipper / Great Bear, etc? And then many flower names, like monkey-flower? Interesting topic, I'd never heard the word before - every day a school day on Wikipedia, as they say. PamD 16:23, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- Of course! And there are also telescopic asterisms which show up as very small constellations (open star clusters which contain less than a dozen stars, they are only visible through telescopes). By the way, the monkey-flower is indeed a very interesting example. I create a link to this article in my draft-list, or perhaps in the original list of Other examples in Nature. Thanks!!! P.S.: much more examples of biology-related pareidolia are always welcome! DannyCaes (talk) 16:34, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
- @DannyCaes Will reply on your talk page rather than clutter Boleyn's. PamD 16:40, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
