The article Dumitru Mazilu has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Dan Marţian moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Dan Marţian, does not have enough sources and citations 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.

- If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Dan Marţian and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
- If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Dan Marţian, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
- If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
- If you need any assistance, 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.

Disambiguation link notification for May 14
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ion Iliescu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Salvation Front (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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) 09:21, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
That ref does not establish your premise. El_C 00:27, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
How so? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbjerkec (talk • contribs)
- I'm not here to prove a negative. Can you quote to pertinent portion where it does so? El_C 00:31, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- On page 15 or so of the article it outlines that Iliescu's faction of the National Salvation Front wanted a change in Communism, rather than a switch to capitalism. Should I clarify by adding the brackets to show that only a group within the National Salvation Front advocated Social Democracy, Communism and Democratic Socialism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbjerkec (talk • contribs)
- Sorry, maybe I'm a bit thick, but again, can you just directly quote a passage in support of this? El_C 00:45, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- Hey no worries, it's a reasonable request. I just lost accsess to the full article. I do have an alternative source here: https://www.princeton.edu/~gpop/APartyForAllSeasons.pdf which I can quote directly from.
Where would I put this quote, though?
In the final part of the paper I evaluate three possible explanations of this successor party dominance: (1) a democratic deficit in Romanian politics, (2) popular support for Communism, (3) the legacies of the Ceausxescu regime and the 1989revolution.466G. Pop-Eleches / Communist and Post-Communist Studies 41 (2008) 465e479 Defining successor parties: the Romanian challenge and its theoretical payoffsCommunist successor parties can be identified along three dimensions (1) institutional continuity, whereby political parties trace their lineage directly to that of theCommunist Party; (2) leadership and personnel continuity and (3) ideological continuity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbjerkec (talk • contribs)
- Sorry, but that passage does not specifically establish the claim. Anything else? El_C 00:52, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- I just need a mention that they subscribe to that ideology. El_C 00:54, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- The only issue is that not everyone in the party subscribed to one ideology. It was a big tent, catch-all sort of organization that was formed in opposition to the Ceaușescu regime. Some people wanted a change economically, and some wanted to keep hold of Communism.
- Maybe this is a little better:
As Tismaneanu (2003)argues, while Romanians had rejected the Ceaușescu regime in 1989, large parts of the population still favored key elements of the Communist welfare state. The FSN’s spending spree in early 1990 combined with assurances about a more gradual approach and painless approach to economic reforms undoubtedly contributed to the ex-Communists’ broad popularity and resounding electoral success. However, while such gradualist preferences were clearly visible in 1991, when Romania was the only East European country where a majority of respondents (57.7%) thought that a market economy was wrong for their country, by the following year 73% of Romanians favored a free market economy and pro-market attitudes in the country have been above the regional average ever since.4Nor did the economic hardships and political disappointments of the transition result in a substantial popular reorientation towards Communism (...) the shareof self-declared Communists among Romanian voters was minimal in 2000e2004(2e3 percent). Moreover, even though Social Democrats constituted the largest voting block and provided the backbone for the ex-Communist PSD’s strong electoral showing, they only accounted for one-third of the electorate, a proportion roughly in line with the regional average. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbjerkec (talk • contribs)
- No, it's not. It doesn't speak to that wing's ideological tendency. Hold on. I'm reading the article. El_C 01:05, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- On closer read, it looks like there's something to that, at least before 1990 (p. 469). El_C 01:12, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- By the way, the convention on Wikipedia is to sign talk page comments. You do this by typing four tildes (~~~~). I've gone ahead and done that for you here. Happy editing. El_C 01:24, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
- Perfect thanks. I'm new to Wikipedia, and I have a history degree I thought I'd put to good use. Thanks so much for showing me the ropes. I'm learning every day. sign
Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Finnish collaborators with Nazi Germany
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Category:Finnish collaborators with Nazi Germany requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
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.

The article Dubec/Dubets has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No evidence of notability, fails WP:NNAME and WP:NOTDICT, sourced entirely to dictionaries, databases and translation sites, no other source found that would indicate notability.
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.
