Prod Ali Mohammad

Hey Geo - how goes it? I prodded Ali Mohammad. Doesn't meet notability - significant coverage. I saw you created it after the prod and just read your xfd suggestion. Maybe you agree he isn't notable now? Although I think the page should stay as a disambiguation page. Cheers - Mnnlaxer | talk | stalk 05:26, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I left my explanation at Talk:Ali Mohammad. The short version is that, as a member of a national legislature, with some verifiable references, I think WP:POLITICIAN overrules WP:GNG. Geo Swan (talk) 17:46, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph Tezanos

If the topic was a Coast Guard employee, then the Coast Guard's own website is a primary source which is not, in and of itself, proof of notability. And the academic credentials of the individual who wrote the Arlington Cemetery piece don't change the fact that the Arlington Cemetery, in and of itself, is not a media outlet. It's certainly true that the sourcing has been improved somewhat since I flagged it two years ago, but my assessment was correct as applied to the sourcing that was present at the time.

Disambiguation link notification for March 13

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

Byron Hyde

That article has been deleted several times, including for blatant copyright infringement. Since there are copyrights involved, the admin that deleted on that ground should be consulted because I won't overturn her or his decision. WP:DRV is another avenue.

Delmer Berg/Karel Dufek

Hi-Many thanks for repairing the references in the Delmer Berg article. Delmer Berg was an interesting person. The Abraham Lincoln Brigade was also interesting. You may want to look at the Karel Dufek article. Karel Dufek served in the Spanish Civil War on the Republican side; he was a member of the Czechoslovakia Communist Party and was a diplomat. Dufek just turned 100 years old. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 22:01, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

editorial conflict - Salah Abdeslam

Hello Geo Swan,

I'd like you to review https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Salah_Abdeslam&action=history, 16:31, 25 March 2016 to 22:08, 25 March 2016‎ please, because the editor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/96.40.114.242 is including categories concerning the presumed homosexuality or bisexuality and involvement supossedly as a "rent-boy" of the individual, but I see no evidence to show he is these things, as I think is demonstrated at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Salah_Abdeslam#supposed_homosexuality_or_bisexuality_of_Abdeslam, Thanks (in advance). 6cb49af5c4 (talk) 22:23, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
