Thank you so much for picking up the task of slogging through the articles tagged for notability and determining if they should stay or go. I'd been doing it for several months before other things took priority, so I'm glad the work goes on. UtherSRG (talk) 13:32, 14 November 2023 (UTC) |
Hi Boleyn! Thanks for all your work on the geography stubs (some of which need to be tossed for notability) - while I appreciate it, this has added about 130 articles to the November 2023 unreferenced articles category in a few hours. I know there are no hard rules about drive-by taggings, but if you have the time, would you please try to add a source or an external link to some of them? WikiProject Unreferenced articles has a very small handful of active users and our backlog is some 116,000 articles. We would also definitely appreciate having an editor of your caliber and experience involved if you'd be interested! Thank you and have a good evening. Best, Kazamzam ( talk) 23:11, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

UtherSRG, this was a dab with about 6 entries and another with 4 entries, in no way candidates for deletion, never mind speedy.

Hello! I've noticed that you nominated the Database Nation article about Simson Garfinkel's book for deletion. I've found multiple reliable sources and rewritten the article to include them. I think that this article was probably nominated by accident, as you mentioned the WP:MUSICBIO and this book is about privacy and has nothing to do with music.

Hi Boleyn
Please see the recent RM at Talk:Stephen Kirk. The purpose of the move was indicated in the proposing comment - "Rather than using a pointless disambiguation page, it'd be much better to move Stephen Kirk (handballer) to Stephen Kirk and add an hatnote for each article saying "For the footballer/handballer, see Steve/Stephen Kirk"." This is a clear WP:TWODABS situation and there are no other notable people with this name. The dab page is no longer needed, and I will list it at AFD given that you've contested the PROD nomination on it. Cheers — Amakuru ( talk) 15:29, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
