Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Peter Crowley (Irish revolutionary), a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.
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.
The references offered support WP:EXIST only. No indication that these people meet WP:NBIO or WP:NORG as a "group". Even if individual members of this family are notable, WP:NOTINHERITED would suggest that notability is not "transferred" to other members of the same family. WP:NOTMEMORIAL and WP:NOTGENEALOGY would also seem to apply.
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.
The subject is the sister of notable Irish revolutionaries, but does not appear to be notable in her own right. The article's current sources only support WP:EXIST, and my search on Newspapers.com and Google Books did not turn up anything that would establish notability. WP:NOTGENEOLOGY and WP:INVALIDBIO apply.
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.
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Hiya. Hope all's well. By way of an extension to the recent "articles for discussion" threads, and in light of some further/recent content submissions, I thought it worthwhile highlighting a few quick things about project scope. Without beating about the bush:
Wikipedia is not intended to be a free web-hosting site for family history or family genealogy content. While it's great that you have amassed some family history stories about your forebears, you need to find somewhere else to put it. Just because someone is notable to you or your family, doesn't mean that they are notable under the project's notability criteria. Please see WP:NBIO, WP:NOTWEBHOST, WP:NOTGENEALOGY and related guidelines.
Wikipedia is not intended to be a mirror of content already published by other online projects. While, for example, the Military Archives and Bureau of Military History catalogues may be useful in supporting content (as references), it is not appropriate to wholescale "copy and paste" content from that project to Wikipedia. As you did from here over to here. This is doubly problematic when the content at the original source is managed under different licence or copyright terms than those which Wikipedia relies upon. Please see WP:NOTMIRROR, WP:COPYPASTE, WP:COPYVIO and other policies.
Wikipedia is not intended to be a catalogue of everyone who ever lived through (or involved in) every single conflict or war. While project guidelines afford some notability to high-ranking military people (or those who received significant coverage or gallantry medals or the like), there is no way we can reasonably have articles on the 70,000 people who received medals or pensions for their involvement in the War of Independence or Civil War for example. Or the millions of other people involved in the thousands or other wars in other countries. Please see WP:MILPERSON, WP:NBIO and other related policies.
Thanks for your politeness. I understand your qualms and do not mind if the page is removed if you believe it should be. When you say "copy-paste", I must say that most of it is not, and is a summary I typed out based off of the document to aid me in writing a contribution to a book. Though part of it is the exact words from the document, I had to type that out too. Anyway, fair enough about all that, I won't contest that deletion. Merry Christmas to you and a happy new year! Thanks Jburke2005 (talk) 20:46, 24 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hiya.
RE: Politeness. No worries. You're welcome. Costs nothing.
RE: Not verbatim copy-and-paste. In honesty, while it is fair to say that you didn't copy and paste the entirety of the pension/service certificate application, what has been included is a near verbatim copy/paste. (I note for example that you left out this piece of text "She attended Sunville camp a few times a week and did some cooking and washing for the I.R.A. there". But the text which follows it is exactly verbatim from the source: "She helped after Glenbrohane fight when the area was surrounded by scouting the roads and escorting men until they left the area". This isn't really "on".)
RE: Book. Great. Sounds like you have another outlet for all of your research. Hopefully that means you'll stop using Wikipedia as an "interim" host for that content. Let me know when the book is done. Will give it a look-in.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bridget Mary Crowley until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Guliolopez (talk) 20:50, 24 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

this person has zero notability. Friendship with a former president is not evidence of notability. Article lacks proper information about ordination, incardination and cause for allocation of apostolic pronotary status.

Hello! Voting in the 2020 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 7 December 2020. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
No indication of any notability. To extent that WP:A7 might apply. This reads like a WP:NOTGENEALOGY entry on an otherwise "normal" clergy member. The refs (a family history website, a census record and an obit) barely support the basic facts (DOB/death/etc). None of them (and nothing at all in the text) establish any notability under any criteria. Being a missionary priest (and having brothers who died during the War of Indepndence) does not confer notability.

Non-notable person. The only claims to notability here are "brother of hunger strikers" (WP:NOTINHERIT) and "fought in Civil War" (along with 70,000 other people). This is another WP:NOTGENEALOGY from a user who continues to create articles on multiple members of the Crowley family. As if each is independently/automatically notable. Each is not.

Hello. Me again. With a reminder on WP:NOTGENEALOGY, WP:NOTMEMORIAL and WP:NOTWEBHOST. Again. As per our discussion in December 2019, and while I am hopeful that you finished your contribution to that local/family history work that you were working on, the scope of this project hasn't changed in the meantime. Wikipedia is (still) not a publisher or re-publisher of memorial, genealogical or family history content. Almost every family in Ireland has members who were in the clergy, involved in tan/civil war events (or related to people who were), or had drapery businesses and the like. Wikipedia is not a place for these people to publish these family history stories or biographic entries. Biogrpahpical entries in Wikipedia MUST be based on WP:NBIO guidelines (and supported by published works that span significantly beyond census entries, birth/death registries or short obits in local papers). Please find another outlet for your family history content. Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 00:41, 26 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Hello. Again. As above, Wikipedia is not a personal/family genealogy site. Please stop treating it as such. As per our previous conversation, I'm sure (as part of your family history project) you've built-up a series of obits, tidbits and census hits on the Burke family. Unless they are so extensive and impressive (on an individual basis) that WP:SIGCOV and WP:NBIO is firmly established for a given family member, they shouldn't be republished on Wikipedia. This encyclopedia project has different goals to your family history project (or those of Ancestry.com). Please stop conflating your goals with this project's goals. If you're having a hard time separating the two, then you might want to take (another) look at WP:NOTHERE, WP:COI and WP:SPA. Guliolopez (talk) 13:42, 27 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
No indication of notability. Yet another WP:NOTMEMORIAL and WP:NOTGENEALOGY submission from this contributor. The only sources available seem to be a findagrave entry and a single obituary. Otherwise the claims to notability are "wrote essays and corresponded with notable people".

No indication of notability beyond BIO1E. As per body and refs, subject was one of many dozens of hunger strikers and one of many tens of thousands of people involved in the Irish War of Independence. As per recent AfDs, we do not need individual articles on every single member of the Crowley family. Also WP:NOTMEMORIAL and WP:NOTGENEALOGY.

Hello. Did you create several new articles about Irish hunger strikers? Guinness is spelled incorrectly in all of them. I fixed two, John Power and Seán Hennessy, please correct the others.

An article you recently created, Simon Colbran, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
