Speedy deletion nomination of Alan Jacobs (academic)

Hello A.Jacobin,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Alan Jacobs (academic) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Itsalleasy (talk) 03:45, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Cut and paste move

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Neubauer Family Collegium for Culture and Society a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Neubauer Family Collegium for Culture and Society. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you. --David Biddulph (talk) 08:44, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 2019 Spokane attack

The article 2019 Spokane attack has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NOTNEWS and WP:LASTING. It's only been a few days and yet there has been no follow-up coverage locally, let alone nationally, except in certain circles of thought.

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.

Not a warning so much as a word of caution about WP:NPA

It appears as if your insulting edit summaries are intended as self-deprecating humour which, I mean, you do you. But a casual editor might misinterpret them as a WP:NPA issue. Might want to clarify in these cases to avoid unfortunate entanglements. Simonm223 (talk) 14:48, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. Simon refers to this edit [1].A.Jacobin (talk) 14:51, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Precisely. Like I know you created the article, and thus that was clearly about you but I spend too much a fair bit of time on Wikipedia, and pay attention to these sorts of details. A casual editor may not. Simonm223 (talk) 14:54, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Alan Jacobs (academic)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

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

A tag has been placed on Alan Jacobs (academic) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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. Tedfitzy (talk) 04:04, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
