A kitten for you!

 

HI Bearcat, Thanks for the note on Norma Jean (Actress & Comedienne) ... I'm working to "generalize" the page. Appreciate your comments!

Draft:Norma Jean

You had written:

This is highly advertorialized and is referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all -- so it will have to be massively rewritten for compliance with our neutral point of view rules, and referenced to proper WP:GNG-worthy media coverage about her in reliable sources, before it can be submitted or accepted.

As a diddly point, anyone can submit anything any time, but you knew that. It was tweaked (not reworked) and submitted. I have declined it as 'npov'. The submitter is a new editor who is not familiar with how to write for Wikipedia, and they would benefit from asking for advice at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 17:41, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Abdon Atangana

RE: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abdon Atangana: Revision history

Wikipedia's notability guideline for academics

“3. The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences…”

Abdon Atangana is a member of the African Academy of Sciences

His H-index is 62 Scopus and he is a recognized world leading researcher by citation count[1]

Any possibility of undeleting?

Category:Ancient Egyptian overseers of fields

Hi there, I try for 10 minutes to create the Category:Ancient Egyptian overseers of fields. You delete the category in the article, but also Wiki does not want me to create this category. I am not sure what is going on here. Overseers of fields is just a common Ancient Egypt title and there is no reason for denying a category.Udimu (talk) 08:37, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Requesting restoration of categories to Chanale Draft (Per WP:DRAFTNOCAT wrapping guideline)

Hello Bearcat,

I started editing the new draft version of Chanale today, and noticed that you completely removed all categories from the draft, rather than disabling them. I am requesting that they be restored to the draft, but disabled per the WP:DRAFTNOCAT guideline you linked in the edit summary. If you have suggestions on which to keep and which to leave out, for the sake of better relevance to the article and its subject, that would be appreciated.

Thank you, GreenEli (talk) 16:35, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Colleen Murphy page move

Hi Bearcat, I noticed that a user moved your article Colleen Murphy to Colleen Murphy (filmmaker) and the summary was "not primary". I don't agree with this page move! Should this and their subsequent contributions be rolled back? Thanks! — WILDSTARTALK 18:52, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Singlechart usages for Billboardhardrock

 

A tag has been placed on Category:Singlechart usages for Billboardhardrock indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz Read!

Caryma Sa'd

Could you please take a look at the article on Caryma Sa'd. It looks like a promotional piece for a lawyer who isn't notable. 199.7.156.255 (talk) 05:08, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 2preciious

 

The article 2preciious has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not appear to be notability even from the article's own biography

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.

draft cats

Thanks for all the work you do rm'ing cats from draft articles. However, instead of removing them, you can wrap them in {{draft categories}} and the AfC mover will auto re-populate the cats. UtherSRG (talk) 15:13, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Renaming wiki ed course pages

Please don't manually rename pages such as Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Texas AM University/Technical Editing (Spring 2023), this will cause problems later because the dashboard doesn't follow redirects when updating those pages. See (Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of California Merced/Feminism, Handmaids and Wild Seeds (Spring 2021) for an example). Either bring up the incorrectly-named course page at WP:EDUN, or just create the category its populating as a redirect to the correct name since I made the code that populates those categories support redirects a while ago. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:23, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

  Happy New Year!
Hello Bearcat:


Did you know ... that back in 1885, Wikipedia editors wrote Good Articles with axes, hammers and chisels?

Thank you for your contributions to this encyclopedia using 21st century technology. I hope you don't get any unnecessary blisters.
