The article InterCon has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
I can't find enough in-depth coverage for this small conference to pass WP:GNG.
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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed

Ok, thanks for the information. New and still learning. Grandfalloon ( talk) 14:45, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at
Walkabout Travel Gear, without citing a
reliable source. Please review the guidelines at
Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.

Ok. Grandfalloon ( talk) 17:12, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
Please stop your
disruptive editing. If you continue to add
unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at
East High School (Utah), you may be
blocked from editing. Please stop adding this non-notable alumnus

I believe a person who was appointed by an United States President and was a clerk at the Supreme Court, with sources, is a valid alumnus. I will be careful to better cite entries but this one is well cited. Grandfalloon ( talk) 18:29, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
OK, not notable if people do not have a Wikipedia page. Please note I restored addition with three separate references however. Grandfalloon ( talk) 18:51, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
Yes, my original entry noted he was class president 1973 but was removed by Magnolia. He also removed my Greg Grant addition who in fact does have a Wikipedia page. Why would a person with a Wikipedia page be removed if in fact they have to have a Wikipedia page to be notable? Grandfalloon ( talk) 19:17, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
We have both made errors. Yes, he has a Wikipedia page but I sourced the incorrect Greg Grant. Greg Grant (basketball, born 1960). Grandfalloon ( talk) 20:12, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
You may be
blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add
unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at
Dixie State University.

This information is documented on the Wikipedia page noted: Intermountain Collegiate Athletic Conference and referenced such. Are you saying that Wikipedia page is incorrect? Please rep!y. Thanks. Grandfalloon ( talk) 18:19, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
I also used Wikipedia for a similar reference on Utah State University Eastern. I am relatively new and assume a Wikipedia page can be used as a reference source? Grandfalloon ( talk) 18:26, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
Ahh. Thanks for the reply. I will adjust as such. Grandfalloon ( talk) 18:28, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
Meters, the source you found is the is the one I posted early and there is no reference aside from the listing on the Wikipedia page, which is not a reliable source without additional documentation. Can you explain. Grandfalloon ( talk) 19:42, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
Forget that, never mind. I need to slow down. My fault. Will reference all sources off Wikipedia lesson learned. Grandfalloon ( talk) 19:44, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

This is a newspaper article about Mark Rainey discussing his idea to start Japanese Giants. Would this be a relevant citation if followed by a citation linking to an issue of Japanese Giants stating he was the founder? Grandfalloon ( talk) 18:54, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Salt Lake Golden Eagles, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cleveland Barons. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
