Proposed deletion of Kaitlin Bennett

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

Subject has questionable 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.

I think she should be kept because she meets the GNG as she is the primary topic on numerous articles from reliable sources such as Newsweek the ny times and many other news outlets, she's been all over the news for years ever since gaining notoriety for her open carry stunt at Kent stateNdołkah (talk) 00:27, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

June 2019

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Salesian College Preparatory. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. When a subject is under discussion on the talk page, you participate in that discussion. Also, any controversial content should be sourced. BTW, everything added to any article on Wikipedia must be paraphrased from a reliable source. You cannot add anything just because you "know" it to be true. John from Idegon (talk) 08:18, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

I did not make any unconstructive edits to any page and I sourced my material directly from a newspaper, did you bother to read the articles? If you cannot afford a subscription and they are behind a paywall there is help, I believe wikipedia offers assistance in such cases as you may only view a certain number of articles in full for free per month for the Contra Costa Times for example.Ndołkah (talk) 09:51, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

You added unsourced material on a subject that is currently under discussion on the article talk page. The article is named in the warning message. I get you are new. It is still on you to learn how to do what you are doing. If you'd simply read the messages and links you are getting here that would go a long way towards you understanding what you are doing wrong. I've been doing this for nearly 8 years. Perhaps you should listen to what you are being told. Most everyone comes to Wikipedia with misconceptions about how Wikipedia works. You clearly have many. Those who WP:AGF and actually listen to the information they are being given usually succeed and end up enjoying Wikipedia. Those that don't either quit in frustration or have their editing privileges revoked. It's up to you. John from Idegon (talk) 17:05, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Salesian College Preparatory; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
Please take a pause and find out how Wikipedia actually works. The material you added is controversial and opposed by several other editors. The sex abuse stuff is under discussion on the article talk page. Some of what you are adding is unsourced. Some is promo. You do not have consensus for any of it. John from Idegon (talk) 16:56, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

I did reach consensus and did not post anything unsourced. You I believe removed the sources which I then readded with the appropriate sources.Ndołkah (talk) 17:50, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

Hello, Ndołkah. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!
Please note that all old questions are archived after 2-3 days of inactivity. Message added by Orville1974 (talk) 21:06, 11 June 2019 (UTC). (You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{teahouse talkback}} template).

Just my two cents worth

I noticed you asked for assistance locating a source on the editor assistance request board, then asked for assistance on the teahouse. The wording of both requests makes it appear as if you're having difficulty maintaining a neutral point of view, which is affecting your edits to the Salesian College Preparatory article. Words like horrors and racist do not present a neutral point of view. Regardless of how you personally feel about a subject, Wikipedia editors are expected to present information from reliable sources avoiding WP:SOAP:

"Advocacy, propaganda, or recruitment of any kind: commercial, political, scientific, religious, national, sports-related, or otherwise. An article can report objectively about such things, as long as an attempt is made to describe the topic from a neutral point of view. You might wish to start a blog or visit a forum if you want to convince people of the merits of your opinions." (my emphasis added)

Statements like "My comments will reflect whatever I want them to thank you very much, we are all entitled to speak freely" are best left to forums and blogs, not encyclopedia articles and their related talk pages. Orville1974 (talk) 21:40, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

I appreciate it i was referring to child sexual abuse as a horror i don't think that's not neutral and i was only stating they were because another more experienced editor referred to them as such anyways. There seems to be a lot of captains here but not enough sailors imo.Ndołkah (talk) 23:04, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

I hope this example may help move the discussion forward (in your favor or against, but at least movement). As you'll see in the link, the clearer you are with your rationale and wording, the easier it will be for other editor's to name specific adjustments to what should be inserted or removed. In this case, the topic is Hillary Clinton's legal defense of an accused rapist. Some news sources described the defense as an atrocity. Others that she was just doing her job. Similarly, editors disagreed about how the content should be included (or even if it should be included). The Hillary Clinton article is under special restrictions, where only one revert per 24-hour period is allowed, so almost everything has to get hashed out on the talk page if an editor wants to make a change: Hilary Clinton Talk Page, Section 3. Orville1974 (talk) 00:13, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

I understand the article must state in a paraphrased form accurately what the news articles state however i never inserted the term "horrors" into tyke article myself and another editor simply referred to the abuse as such on the talk page. I never took that as consensus for including it in the said article. I would like to say to you that i sincerely appreciate your proactive approach and positive tone as others editors are rather harsh sounding and even threatening without attempting the dialogue. Merry meet and merry part.Ndołkah (talk) 01:36, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

I pulled the word horrors from your Teahouse help request. Did you look at the Clinton talk page link? WP:PROPORTION and WP:DUEWEIGHT both came up in the discussion. These two considerations should also come up in your talk page discussion regarding both the mascot and the abuse. Other editors have rightly stated their case using Wikipedia policies. Take a look at those two policies to see if either will help advance your case. If they actually do the opposite, then consider how much weight the issues should be given in the article and propose specific wording to include (once again, like the proposed wording in the Hillary Clinton article), so everyone has a chance to consider exactly what is being proposed in order to tweak/rebut/come to a consensus on it.

Vote formatting

So when you want to register your vote on the talk page, type:

• Support - (then whatever you want here)
  or
• Don't Support - ....
  or
• Comment - (When you just want to add something you want everyone to see)
  or
• Whatever wording you think is appropriate - (etc.)
  

We still need to wait about a week. There are other editors that have recently been involved in the conversation that should be given the opportunity to weigh in.

Also, just in case this comes up this or another page, WP:CONSENSUS is not the same as a democracy, the most votes doesn't automatically win. It's who states their case best using Wikipedia policies and guidance and sources that defend their position. Orville1974 (talk) 05:55, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Ways to improve Salesiano Valparaíso

Hello, Ndołkah,

Thank you for creating Salesiano Valparaíso.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Thank you for your new article on Salesiano Valparaíso, but please see WP:EXIST. A Wikipedia article needs more text beyond a simple announcement that the place exists. Possibilities include famous former students, news on the school's relations with the local community, etc.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Doomsdayer520}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, 2019 Chilean protests. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – 2019 Santiago protests. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at 2019 Santiago protests. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. --Bageense^(disc.) 14:14, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Jim Rogers

It doesn't matter how many local sources in the local media you can show — once again, every city councillor everywhere can always show local coverage in their local media. The notability test for city councillors is the ability to show that he's much more notable than most other city councillors, by virtue of the ability to show nationalized coverage demonstrating a nationalized profile that transcends what every other city councillor can always also show. Like it or not, that's the way it is. Bearcat (talk) 07:36, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

That's not true, you're editorializing, the GNG says reliable sources and that includes local and regional sources period.Ndołkah☆ (talk) 07:53, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

I am not editorializing one bit. I am not reporting my own opinions on a matter for which consensus says otherwise; I am neutrally and dispassionately informing you of the state of established consensus when it comes to notability, and my own personal opinions have not entered into it one bit. The notability standards for politicians are that the person has a nationalized claim of significance, either because they (1) hold or have held office at the national or state levels of government, or (2) can show significantly more nationalized prominence than the norm for a politician at the local level. Not because I said so, but because established consensus, supported by many Wikipedians in many prior discussions on city councillors, said so. Bearcat (talk) 03:53, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

The notion that the article in the San Jose Mercury News is "local coverage" of a Richmond politician is patently absurd, Bearcat, and shows your complete lack of understanding of Northern California media outlets. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 08:53, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

San Jose and Richmond are both part of a single metropolitan area that constitutes a single unified media market. I don't have any responsibility to be an expert in anything other than the basic notability standards for politicians — which are not automatically passed by a smalltown city councillor just because he can show local coverage within his own media market where such coverage is merely expected to exist, because every city councillor in every city on earth can always show local coverage within his or her own local media market. But having an article about every city councillor on every city councillor on the planet is not, and should not be, our goal or or mandate or our mission. And incidentally, I wasn't the nominator of any of the articles under discussion in the first place, so I have no idea why you're singling me out for special attack — if you don't like Wikipedia's long-established consensus around the notability of city councillors, I'm not who the problem is with.

I don't think there is any convincing him at this point, he seems to think it's opening a can of worms to keep this article to have an article on just about everyone, but I think we are over 5,000,000 articles past that at this point - and for the better I would say.Ndołkah☆ (talk) 09:25, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
