Biblical people in Christianity

edit

I really don't understand what is he purpose of the article Biblical people in Christianity, which you started. Aren't all Biblical people are "in Christianity"? Please explain why you think we need the article, otherwise I will propose it for deletion. - Fayenatic london (talk) 14:54, 1 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Because Talk:Biblical people in Christianity. -- Bapho 22:51, 9 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, no offence intended, but I still don't get it. I've proposed deletion. Fayenatic london (talk) 23:21, 9 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
No prob, but how do I get to the debate? -- Bapho 00:06, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
I've changed the deletion process to WP:AFD and now there is a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Biblical_people_in_Christianity, where you can explain it. Fayenatic london (talk) 06:33, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Mi2g

edit
The article Mi2g 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. NawlinWiki (talk) 13:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of Conference hall

edit
An editor has nominated Conference hall, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Conference hall and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 02:59, 10 February 2008 (UTC)Reply


Proposed deletion of Wikiwix

edit

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

Non-notable (No reliable sources support inclusion), notability tag has been up since April 2009 with no effort made to provide any saving grace. Therefore I suggest deletion via PROD as a courtesy to those who might expand and establish notability but haven't for whatever reason.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
