Speedy deletion nomination of World Security Network Foundation

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 World Security Network Foundation, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. Zer0n888 (talk) 20:34, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page

Hi, I saw your message at Talk:World Security Network Foundation. I've deleted the talk page, but I didn't want you thinking we don't care. If you visit this page you can request a copy of the text (or just let me know, and I'll provide a copy for you). I'm cautiously optimistic that World Security Network Foundation should meet our inclusion criteria, so you'll just need to work making the article less promotional and more encylopedic for it to be included. Hope this helps. Nick (talk) 22:12, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for you fast answer. I will follow your advice and request a copy of the article on the page you told to discuss the notability question there. I am in German Wikipedia since 2004 (with sporadic activities in English Wikipedia since then) and I have an account in both Wikipedias since 2011. Perhaps the criteria for inclusion differ somewhat, however, as fas as I can see, in German Wikipedia the WSNF certainly would meet the inclusion criteria both as a online medium and as an NGO.--DownUnder36 (talk) 07:36, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited West Germanic languages, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hans Nielsen (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of English words of Germanic origin not preserved in German 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/List of English words of Germanic origin not preserved in German until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Proposed deletion of Verlag Inspiration Un Limited

The article Verlag Inspiration Un Limited has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Registration information and listings about this company can be found, but there does not appear to be the substantial coverage about the company which is needed to meet the notability criteria.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

Ways to improve List of massacres in Switzerland

Hi, I'm Meatsgains. DownUnder36, thanks for creating List of massacres in Switzerland!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Consider providing reliable sources to strengthen the page's verifiability.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Pictures

You really, really can't just put pictures on Commons as "own work" if they're of people who died in 1960.

There's a perfectly valid rationale for including the photo on enwiki as fair use, although you'll need to supply provenance. DS (talk) 23:48, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Helmut Irblich

Hello, DownUnder36

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

I wanted to let you know, however, that I’ve proposed an article that you started, Helmut Irblich, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. To prevent the deletion, please add a reference to the article. You may remove the deletion tag yourself once the article has at least one reliable source.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Whiteguru}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

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

Whiteguru (talk) 08:45, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Whiteguru, thank you for your input, but I must say that I don't really understand your point. The tag you placed over the article "Helmut Irblich" states: "All biographies of living people must have at least one source that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article." And: "Once the article has at least one reliable source, you may remove this tag." Please take a close look at this article: It already quotes THREE sources as references, one newspaper article (Main-Post of 23 February 2011) and two books. Main-Post is a well established German newspaper and the authors of the books quoted in the article are respected university professors (Wilfried Heller) and book publishers (K. Badenheuer), both having articles in Wikipedia themselves (as has the Main-Post). Did I get something wrong?--DownUnder36 (talk) 13:24, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of NOWELE

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 NOWELE requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://t.benjamins.com/catalog/nowele. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Disambiguation link notification for June 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Alfred Bammesberger, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page English etymology. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar 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) 09:02, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank your for this message and I don't see any need to remove it. I just replaced the link pointing to the disambiguation page English etymology, by a new link pointing to "History of English".--DownUnder36 (talk) 09:29, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

NOWELE moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, NOWELE, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Wolfgang Meid moved to draftspace

Thanks for creating Wolfgang Meid. Unfortunately, it is not ready for publishing because every statement needs to be verifiable backed with citations (see: WP:V). Your article is now a draft where you can improve it undisturbed for a while.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Wolfgang Meid (January 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by JBW were:

It seems to me likely that Wolfgang Meid does satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines, but in order to show that he does we need references to substantial coverage of him in independent sources. References to the web sites of institutions for which he has worked, or to which he is personally connected in other ways, are not independent sources. References which only briefly mention him, or merely include him in a list, are not substantial coverage.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Wolfgang Meid and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Wolfgang Meid (November 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Kilaseell was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The article has a lot of unreferenced information, which needs to be either sourced properly or removed completely.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Wolfgang Meid and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
