Somebody AFDed Lynika Strozier which you created

Just wanted to give you a heads up since you created the article that some new user, as their very first action on Wikipedia, has created an AFD on Lynika Strozier. Deletion discussion is here. It's dumb, and its already turning into a SNOW keep but I wanted to notify you since they didn't have the courtesy to do so. --Krelnik (talk) 18:36, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have eventually found a good reason for the AfD: the nominator wanted to give the article an accolade and a keep response at AfD was the easiest way of achieving it. Thincat (talk) 17:21, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 1

Proposed deletion of Heather Cerveny

The article Heather Cerveny has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:1E that attracted some coverage but no long-term significance.

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.

Seminci

Why are you changing perfectly working direct links to Seminci to links to a redirect to the same article[1], or worse, to redlinks[2]? Your edit summary "disambiguation" does not actually indicate what you are doing here. Please revert all these changes. (And before you ask: no, I'm not hounding you, this change appeared in an article I created). Fram (talk) 07:15, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Section links and anchors

Hello, I was just curious if your discussion on using {{anchor}}s that started at the Classical Irish redirect discussion was continued anywhere else. -2pou (talk) 16:21, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I just wanted to share a couple things with you that involve the use of wikilinks to sections. There is a database report located at Wikipedia:Database reports/Broken section anchors that is populated every month with new links that go to sections or anchors that have been broken by a recent edit. From this, there is at least one bot, Dexbot, that works to repair these links, as do individual editors out there. It's not anywhere close to the dab fix setup, but there are people that work these maintenance tasks. Just thought I'd point that out if you were not aware. And by all means, if you have recommendations, try posting to the Talk page of that report. All the best, 2pou (talk) 21:27, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lynika Strozier

I don't know what your connection with the subject of the page is, or why you are so determined that the article should abandon any attempt at applying any critical reading of sources. Maybe you are simply so naive that you believe that journalists only ever write with an absolute dedication to the truth: maybe you are just so caught up in ownership of the page that you started that you cannot stand any alternative to your interpretation being proposed.

But I've tried to apply some encyclopaedic standard and you have proved determined not to allow it. I really couldn't be bothered banging my head on the brick wall of your close-mindedness any more. Have your poorly fact checked article that will get very few views just as crappy as you want it. Kevin McE (talk) 10:46, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I replied on User_talk:Kevin_McE#An offer. Geo Swan (talk) 19:01, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This disambiguation page was compliant with Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Primary topic when a disambiguation page lists only one existing article by that name, and I think it never should have been nominated for deletion. Geo Swan (talk) 15:42, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for July 27

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Muhammad Zahab, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The National.

Soumya-8974 ^talk _contribs ^subpages 12:19, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Soumya-8974, who made this nomination, also made #Nomination of Oliver Henry for deletion, a day or two ago. Neither one of the nominations offered a policy based rationale for deletion. Geo Swan (talk) 13:58, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

of old

Like more than ten years. (wikt:of old.) I saw you around a lot back then. I've had a couple of renames (I may have mentioned my outing concerns leading to renaming.) since then, and you either forgot me or never knew of me though I was around. I had a lot of admiration for you then. Now, I'm just puzzled. Either you have changed or I never really knew you. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:15, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Never new about the problems you reference. Perhaps I never really knew you at all. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:18, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
