Dear Reviewer, "Baran Nikrah" is a famous narrator and influencer in Iran. As a star and celebrity, she invited to many radio and TV programs, One of the most recent ones is: https://www.telewebion.com/episode/2257578
One of the works that she is part of that in Iranian national TV is "Shab Gard" which shows every night right now. Please have a look at the following link, at the begging of each episode she has a section: https://www.telewebion.com/program/66968
Her page in Instagram is one of the most active pages in Iran with around one million followers (over 900k and it is quickly growing): https://im.nitroapp.ir/report/baran_nikrah/instagram https://socialblade.com/instagram/user/baran_nikrah
This Wikipedia page would help to minimize fake news about her. So it would be nice of you if you change your mind and take back your "Delete" tag.
Thank you for your time and consideration, Best regards Saeed https://scholar.google.de/citations?user=l6eNITkAAAAJ&hl=en
A tag has been placed on
Phoebe Whittemore Carter, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are
notable. If you can indicate why Phoebe Whittemore Carter is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on
Talk:Phoebe Whittemore Carter. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read
our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under
Articles. You might also want to read
our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{
hangon}}
to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add
citations from
reliable sources to ensure that your article will be
verifiable. --

Thanks for adding info to this article, but the claims about her religious background need to be sourced in a reliable published source. I did a quick search myself and couldn't find a citation, so I have removed it until we have one. Thanks! Jokestress 17:29, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I see that you have been adding 2005 demographic data to many articles, but you are not providing source citations for this data. Also, you have created articles such as Hobe that are not supported by any sources. Please do not add content without citing reliable sources. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, you continue to add material that is uncited, despite multiple requests from other editors (shown above) for you to provide sources for the information you add. Also, despite having been reminded, you still do not use an edit summary for the vast majority of your edits. I went over your most recent 500 edits, and you only used an edit summary 13 times. That's approximately 2.6% of the time. That's plainly unacceptable, according to Wikipedia community standards. Perhaps it would help if you activate the preference "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary", on the editing tab of your preference page. This will remind you when you submit an edit without providing a summary. Please cite your sources and use edit summaries, and you'll find that your contributions are removed much less often. -- Darkwind ( talk) 21:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I note that 24.180.198.126 continues repeatedly to put in a link to a website that starts with the heading
"REAL ESTATE IS MY BUSINESS"
There is nothing else on that website. It is a commercial link, pure and simple. It does NOT belong in Wikipedia.
Moreover, he/she removes links to the Chamber of Commerce, which actually has lots of community information links, and to the airport. This is very strange.
Apparently this contributory wants to be the ONLY 'official Wikipedia endorsed real estate agent in Gaylord, Michigan.
It is wrong.
I don't know what to do, but would be happy to entertain any suggestions or assistance.

A tag has been placed on Bernard P. Brockbank requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi there. I came across your De Jong Concert Hall article yesterday (and I see that you created it yesterday as well). I'm worried it might not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria, but before I go acting like a deletionist I figured I'd consult with you first. I couldn't find any sources about the hall from a preliminary Google search. If you have any third-party reliable sources, I can help you add them, source the article, and establish notability. Otherwise I'm going to wait a bit and then nominate for deletion. Thanks. - FrankTobia ( talk) 13:26, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
I was looking at the Los Angeles County article and noticed that on December 22, 2007 you added a footnote about Arabs and Iranians being counted as White by the Census Bureau. I followed the link to the Census Bureau page you are using as the basis for this claim and I could not find anything on that page about Arabs and Iranians being included in the White population count.
Could you point me to the section of the Census Bureau website that clarifies this information?

Please stop adding birth date categories for individuals whose years of birth are unknown. Thank you. Badagnani ( talk) 04:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Please stop. Estimating birth dates should be placed in the lead (such as "born c. 1960" after the person's name), not in the categories. Doing what you are doing (creating birth year categories by estimating) is highly improper, and I am asking you kindly to stop. Further, please go back and undo all categories you have added by such estimates. Badagnani ( talk) 04:42, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Please stop. Estimating by the age an individual was in a certain year, as found in the text of their article, is inaccurate in predicting their uknown birth year, because people are generally not the same age for all 365 days of a given year. Please go back and remove the improperly added categories from all articles for which you have improperly added a year of birth, by such improper methods. Thank you for this. Badagnani ( talk) 05:16, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
It is highly improper and unencyclopedic to add birth year categories for discrete birth years in cases where those birth years are unknown. This is something that undermines Wikipedia's credibility, something we must never allow to happen. Please stop. This is why we have categories such as Category:1950s births or Category:19th century births. Badagnani ( talk) 05:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Badagnani ( talk) 05:28, 29 April 2008 (UTC) If you read through any death year category you will see that approximations of death year are aloowed.

There is a discussion about your editing at WP:ANI#User_adding_thousands_of_improper_year_of_birth_cats. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 05:57, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
The reputation of any encyclopedia depends on two things. These are accuracy and completeness. In that order.
If you as an encyclopedia editor must choose between inaccuracy (information that may be incorrect) and incompleteness (missing information), choose the latter.
In other words, if someone asks "is it A or B or C", and you do not know the answer, it is better to say "I do not know", which is honest, than it is to say "it is B", which you do not know whether it is true or false.
Wanderer57 ( talk) 06:13, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Any estimate you make is original research. Without a cited birth date from a reliable source (or an estimate published by a reliable source and characterized as such), readers can make their own estimates based on the context of an article if need be. Far too many mistakes will be thrown into the encyclopedia and repeated around the world if you carry on with this method. Gwen Gale ( talk) 15:52, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I would say that's fine, but it would be your call. For example, for Arkansas I used Elder Bednar as a notable member. He wasn't born in Arkansas, he does not currently reside in Arkansas, but he spent a good amount of time in Arkansas where he was stake president. And he became a significant member afterwards.
One thing about Wikipedia, is that anyone can edit the information. They can add missing information, or they can edit information that is not quite right. That's how Wikipedia got to where it is today.
I don't have a lot of knowledge about wikipedia. I'm just a user that has added and edited pages where it seems necessary. I know some of the basic rules of use, I use wikipedia help on those rules I don't know, and use my own common since on items that are not explained in either. If I'm wrong, it gets edited.

Dear Mr. JPL: Does that mean that at every university where Blanco has lectured as a visiting poet, there should be a line on the "categories" section naming that University? In that case, there would be close to 100. I myself am a published poet, but I wouldn't think that it would help researchers using an encyclopedia to know more than what is already in the article (were there a need for an article about a minor poet like me).

Thanks for your edits at Archaeology and the Book of Mormon. However, I just wanted to remind you of the policies on Original Research, and Self published sources. Of the three edits you made, the only source you provided was FAIRs wiki, which according to wikipedia guidelines is not a reliable source. Also, you made an edit in the middle of a quote - which compromises the accuracy of what was actually said. Finally, some of the wording you added seemed a little like Original Research - which is a particularly rampant problem on this page. No offense intended, but I reverted or modified most of your edits. I don't think any content was lost though as most of what you had added was already in the article. Thanks for your help, and hope we can collaborate more. -- Descartes1979 ( talk) 05:27, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
The information I used was not drawn from a Wiki, it is drawn from a paper by William Hamblin that is on the FAIR cite. William Hamblin is not the owner or operator of FAIR so it is clearly not self published. Things that have been published on the internet in controllable fashion are citable. You did not understand the links I put up. Johnpacklambert ( talk) 20:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
FARMS does some great work, however, "The FARMS Review" is a self-admitted polemic journal. The editor of the journal has stated specifically that the reviews of the books and articles that they perform are intended to promote faith. As a result, they ALWAYS lambast critical books and articles, and ALWAYS support sympathetic books and articles. If you have read any number of the reviews from this journal, the bias is extremely clear. As such we should be careful in citing "The FARMS Review". I have less reservations for other papers that FARMS produces. I personally try to avoid citing The FARMS Review, and can usually find the legitimate information from another source. Consider looking at Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought instead. -- Descartes1979 ( talk) 23:17, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Descartes, Dialogue" is as much an anti-Mormon source as FARMS is pro-Mormon, at least as it relates to this issue. The whole publishing of Metcalfe's, the founder of the ex-Mormon foundation, attack on those who defend the Book of Mormon is a case in point. just because it attacks the Book of Mormon does not make something even or unbiased. Johnpacklambert ( talk) 03:03, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
You totally and completely ignored my qualifying statement. My point is Metcalfe's article on this issue fails even basic respectablility guidelines. What I am saying is that Dialogue has housed total attack articles with their only purpose being to disprove the historicity of the Book of Mormon. Yet you have the audacity to try to exclude from the discussion anyone who responds to such attacks. Johnpacklambert ( talk) 12:38, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Arguments about the historical origin of the word have no place in discussions of the accuracy of terms in a translation. This is a principal of analysis of translated documents that people seem to ignore in discussing the Book of Mormon. It is partly a result of its unique role as one of the few documents that people have to analize in its translation, and can not go to the original, but an argument that builds on the grounds that a word did not exist at the time referred to, when the word only exists in translation and is not required to exist in the original is not a valid arguement. Johnpacklambert ( talk) 15:14, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Please see discussion at Talk:Archaeology and the Book of Mormon#Analysis of edits that I have reverted, where I have specifically talked about your edits and why I have changed, reworded, or reverted them. Lets please try to discuss it there before we do any more reverting lest we pass the threshold of WP:3RR and get the page locked or one or both of us blocked from editing.-- Descartes1979 ( talk) 05:03, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Johnpacklambert - I don't appreciate the comments you left on Rich jj's talk page - which strike me as coming close to the breaching the guidelines of WP:Civility#Engaging in incivility.

Hey, I wanted to explain an edit I made. I noticed you added the category Category:Brigham Young University–Idaho alumni to the category Category:Brigham Young University alumni. I undid it because it makes a false assumption that someone who is an alum of BYU-Idaho/Ricks College is also an alum of BYU in Provo. That would be true if BYU-Idaho were a branch or satellite campus of BYU, but in reality, they are simply sister schools that share a common name and are part of the same system, much like the relationship between the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (believe it or not, sometimes credits don't even fully transfer between BYU and BYU-Idaho). Happy editing! -- JonRidinger ( talk) 02:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
If your theory on this matter is correct than Category:Brigham Young University Hawaii alumni should be taken out of being a sub-category of Category:Brigham Young University alumni. However, you should remember that as of a year ago and probably much more recently that that the BYU alumni category instructed to put alumni of BYU Hawaii and BYU Idaho as well as both of those schools predecessor institutions into the BYU alumni categor.
This latter fact explains why the BYU alumni category has several alumni of both those institutions in it. Johnpacklambert ( talk) 02:43, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello! I don't believe I made your acquaintance prior to recommending the deletion of the Terry Caster article that you put forth today. That's a lousy way to meet someone -- trying (and, in this case, succeeding) in getting rid of that person's contributions. I took a look through your edit history and I was greatly impressed with your work here. I hope that you can accept this offering as a token of my sincere appreciation for what you are doing for Wikipedia. Be well and thanks! Ecoleetage ( talk) 01:06, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Another editor has added the {{

Rich Raddon, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also
Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and
Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at
its talk page. If you remove the {{

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to

A tag has been placed on Scott Whitaker requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{

the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

You've been making some useful contributions. Here are a couple of tips, though: Adding a category like Henderson State University faculty is impractical. Unless you can quickly add at least one or better two more entries into the same category, the category is likely to get deleted. Also, please go back and fix the capitalization in these various headings you've been adding. Wikipedia does not capitalize every word. "Early Life" should be "Early life" in Wikipedia. Thanks.

Do you think now that President Tate is an Area Authority Seventy we can create an article on him? Johnpacklambert ( talk) 17:48, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
I would deem him having enough credentials to have one since he is now an Area Authority Seventy. At the same time, I don't think the article will be read much unless at least one of three things occur 1) he is linked from a more notable article, 2) he becomes well known, or 3) he becomes the middle of controversy.
After all, my mom's mission president (Richard G. Scott) has an article as well. Of course he became a member of the Quorum of the Twelve.

I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted without discussion, in accordance with Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#C1. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding [[Category:Brigham Young University coaches]] to pages that belong in it.
I tagged the category. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of tagging and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to remove the tag if you wish. However, removing the tag will not prevent deletion of the category if it remains empty.
If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with {{ db-author}}.

Be that as it may, I think people will agree that Kimball has made significant contributions to the field of history.
Be that as it may, I have read the academic notability guidelines. That is why I even bothered to create an article on Marie Cornwall, because I figured the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion was one of those journals that was prestigious enough to make its author notable, which is a listed notability guideline.
Lastly, on the issue of Bill Kimball, he was State Senate Majority Leader in Arizona. The guidelines for notability of politicians clearly state that any member of a 1st rank-sub-national legislature (which would clearly be a state senate, and most people would also include the state house in such a category, but that is not relevent at this point) is notable.
I did not make that rule up. However, in the deletion of these two articles I have seen that all notability guidelines seem to get thrown out the window when people engage in deleting some articles. So what is the point of knowing notability guidelines, especially when I write articles so they clearly state things like the fact that Marie Cornwall was the editor of a specific journal because I figure this is at least enough information to make people pause long enough to open up a discussion of whether the Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion is notable enough to make its editor notable on such grounds.
So I hope you are beganing to understand why I am so frustrated. I tried to follow the guidelines set up by the academics notability rules, and what did I get, I got 16 or more articles I had created deleted with absolutely no warning at all. Johnpacklambert ( talk) 21:07, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Alvin Gittens requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that they
userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

A page you created, Enrique Resek, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.
You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Peter LaBarbera, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Hello Johnpacklambert! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 938 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

If you add a category like Category:Settlements established in 1868, this should be supported in the article by text with a citation. If the information is not included in the text, the category can be removed since the article does not support that 'fact'. I suspect that you have sources for the information you are adding, but you should really add to the article to support the categories. Vegaswikian ( talk) 21:39, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you.
Under the
criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please
see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{
hangon}}
on the top of the page and leave a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. RoboHomo ( talk) 21:27, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

I believe that your redirect for Central YMCA College is incorrect. The training school on the southside became part of George Williams College and later part of Aurora University. Central YMCA College was separate according to the reference [2]. I've been researching Central YMCA college a lot and from my research it was still there in 1945 when most of the staff and students left to form what is now Roosevelt University. However the accredidation did not transfer indicating that Central YMCA was in fact a separate school. Could you delete the redirect? Naraht ( talk) 04:21, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
