Deletion of Give no face

The article Give no face has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. MastCell ^Talk 03:52, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome, but don't be a Troll

Hello, please do not make deletions as you did to Give no face without good cause written in the edit summary. Such addiions or deletions are considered vandalism and if you continue your IP username and/or IP address may be blocked indefinately. You may want to check out WP:NOT to have a better understanding of how this wiki works! If you have any questions or need help with anything, please feel free to contact me here! Cheers!--Sallicio ^{$\color {Red}\oplus$} 06:33, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, again! Reference the "'Give no' face" ongoing debate, you and your friends: Tiwa123 and the IP address 67.101.103.70, are all doing the right thing by not deleting the template and placing {{hangon}} template at the top of the page...

However, please be careful not to violate the sockpuppet and/or meatpuppet guidelines. It would be a travesty if one or all of you got blocked because of (unknowingly) violating this policy (believe me, I know from experience when I was still relatively unversed in wiki-protocol someone drug me through the sockpuppet litigation process). Sometimes it's just best to fish or cut bait when it comes to conforming to the guidelines that others tend to follow with an iron fist. Something that may be helpful is to view the AfD (Article for Deletion) process located here. This may help you to understand what others in this community expect of the articles contained herein. If you need advise or just don't understand something, just give me a "giveno" shout here! Cheers!--Sallicio ^{$\color {Red}\oplus$} 05:14, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

use

for YELLOW flag -->A tag has been placed on Give no face, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Rien 02:41, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adopt-a-Typo

Hello! You have received this message because it is believed that you might be interested in adopting a typo for your very own.

What is adopt-a-typo?

Adopt-a-typo is an effort to harness a movement that already exists in Wikipedia. Individual users already pick typos that particularly irritate them, and search for them in the Wikipedia articles. Adopt-a-typo is intended to do three things:

Add social credit to this practice, so that users feel enticed to join and adopt.
Catalog the growth of the adopt a typo movement, so that there is a list of ALL adopted typos.
Enable those who want to adopt a typo to do so quickly and easily.

Why do you want to start this new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?

I, and probably you, have joined several groups that pursue the same goal through different means, but we at Adopt-a-Typo believe this proposal harnesses the unique power that Wikipedia has with its mass conglomerate of editors.

Support

Please add yourself if you want to join the project.

Progress MS-15 moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Progress MS-15, 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.

Proposed deletion of Christine Babcock

The article Christine Babcock has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

run of the mill athlete of no 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.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:01, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
