Talk:Rue des Martyrs

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedy deleted as lacking sufficient context to identify its subject, because the page can be filled out with information from the French page.

I did not actually create this page. What I did was cancel a re-direct from this page to a (differently name) street in Lyons. This redirect was erroneous.

I came to this page from a link on the article about the 9th arrondissement of Paris but was confused to find it was talking about a street in Lyons. Then I saw that I had been redirected to that article about the Lyons street. People had also edited that Lyons street article to contain information about the Parisian street. Seeing this error I decided to cancel the redirect and remove the content from the Lyons street page which was actually about the Parisian street and copy it onto this page. I then updated the language links to include this english article. I stopped there because I had no more time.

I have now added a translation of the first sentence on the French wikipedia article. I think a stubb message should be added to this page rather than it be deleted because it only needs content to be translated from the French page to become a complete article

(If this is confusing, please look at the edit history which should show what I did.) --Oska (talk) 11:17, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

I just went in to add some more content from translating the French article. When I went to save someone had already reverted the page to the original re-direct. I do not think this is a good resolution as the original redirect is a bad one. I overwrote their edit after the merge conflict with the page as it was when the speedy delete was put on it, along with my new translation addition. --Oska (talk) 11:20, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

The speedy deletion tag had been removed, you restored it. If you didn't create the article you can remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, you don't need to contest it. ~ GB fan 11:22, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
