AfD nomination of Skywave (band)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Skywave (band). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Skywave (band). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:08, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bedfordshire Blue Raiders

Hello,

I see that you merged and redirected Milton Keynes Pathfinders to a new article, Ouse Valley Eagles. I would do the same with Bedfordshire Blue Raiders. However, I see in the history that you've already tried to and it was reverted.

Also, I just removed some vandalism, and it is making me second guess whether to merge and redirect or nominate for deletion.

What would you suggest? --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:12, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

If it happened for the MK Pathfinders, I see no reason it shouldn't happen for the Blue Raiders. The Blue Raiders page also has a lot of unverifiable content, inconsistent formatting and individual match reports. Personally, I believe enough information is included in the "Bedfordshire Blue Raiders" section of the Ouse Valley Eagles article, but that's just me.

Thanks!

Disambiguation link notification for August 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Michael Beaty, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kicker. 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.

Creating autobiographies

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. —Largo Plazo (talk) 01:16, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Gareth Thomas (American footballer)

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 Gareth Thomas (American footballer) 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 or group of people, 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. 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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator. —Largo Plazo (talk) 01:21, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free image use

Hi Garethon. I noticed you are working on drafts for future articles in your sandbox. That's perfectly OK, but please do not add any non-free content to these drafts until they have been added to the article namespace. Non-free use on Wikipedia is very restricted and must comply with Wikipedia's non-free content use policy. One of the restrictions is that non-free use is only allowed in the article namespace, which means no user pages, talk pages, templates, discussion pages, etc. You should only upload a non-free file only when it can be immediately added to an existing article and only when that use complies with relevant policy. If you want to use the file in a draft, then just upload it after the draft has been added to the article namespace. Non-free files not used in at least one article will be deleted per WP:NFCC#7 and WP:F5. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:44, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:SandwellSteelersAmericanfootballlogo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:SandwellSteelersAmericanfootballlogo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:46, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reflist|4 / other formatting

Hi. Just letting you know that reflist|2/3/4 are all deprecated per Template:Reflist#Columns. If you don't know the best ways to format these are:

reflist|35em for 2 columns
reflist|30em for 3 columns
reflist|40em for 4 columns

Most of the time, 4 columns don't really need to be used unless an article has well over 200 or so refs. Also, no need to capitalize the second word in a header unless it's a proper noun. "Playing Career" is incorrect. This is per the manual of style. thanks --Jennica✿ / ^talk 10:20, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
