Speedy deletion nomination of Laravel

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 Laravel, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. AllyD (talk) 12:49, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Responding to your message on my Talk page, I was going to suggest that if you want to argue that subsequent media coverage has changed the position since the Afd in November, you may therefore want to contact the closing administrator regarding WP:DELREV criterion 3. However, when I went to check on that closing administrator and provide you with a link, I noticed that Laravel has accumulated a substantial history of user-fications, re-creations, re-deletions involving you and a couple of other users, all in a short time: [1]; are all of these coincidental, involving distinct individuals? Anyway, that aside, as I had intended, I will link this conversation over to User:Sandstein. AllyD (talk) 21:29, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, coincidental. Moot now since as expected Laravel has become the major php framework. Macgroover (talk) 15:41, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Chrysler PT Cruiser, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Top Gear (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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:55, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Tarusawa Tunnel

The article Tarusawa Tunnel has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Definitely not a notable topic, and without a creditable source, would not be notable on a wiki in a language not natively spoken by most people in the country where the article's topic is located.

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. ««« SOME GADGET GEEK »»» (talk) 00:35, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tori Dam moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Tori Dam, 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.

Your draft article, Draft:Tori Dam

Hello, Macgroover. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Tori Dam".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

‘Location’ of the Death Of Mussolini

There isn’t an agreed location. It’s disputed. You’re edit warring to change the article. Carry on and you’ll get blocked. You should know better - self revert and take it to a the Talk page. You are the one making a change to an article. DeCausa (talk) 18:42, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article does not say the location is disputed. Merely the manner is disputed. In fact, the opposite, clearly stating: "The entrance to the Villa Belmonte. A black cross in the wall marks the site of execution." Also, the Italian page of the same article has the location. 'You are the one making a change to an article.' Yes, as Wikipedia encourages. What Wikipedia does not encourage is editors to make immediate reverts for good faith edits. To quote "An editor reverts a change simply because the editor finds it "unnecessary" without claiming that the change is detrimental. This has the effect of assigning priority, between two equivalent versions, to an owner's version." It's your behavior and threats that reflect WP:OWNBEHAVIOR. Macgroover (talk) 02:29, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do I really have to quote WP:CONSENSUS to you? The existing article is the “consensus” version.

“Edit summaries are useful, but do not try to discuss disputes across multiple edit summaries; that is generally viewed as edit warring and may incur sanctions. If an edit is reverted and further edits seem likely to meet the same fate, create a new section on the associated talk page to discuss the issue.”
”In discussions of proposals to add, modify or remove material in articles, a lack of consensus commonly results in retaining the version of the article as it was prior to the proposal or bold edit.”

This is basic stuff. For the length of time you’ve been on WP you should know that “being right” isn’t a defence to edit warring to change an article. I’ll cover the location issue on the Talk page - I’m very well aware of the content of the article. I created and wrote it. DeCausa (talk) 08:16, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve just seen you are only on 366 edits. I may have misjudged your WP experience as I only noticed the date of the Welcome notice. WP:DONTBITE may apply to me - if so, apologies. DeCausa (talk) 08:25, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
