Speedy deletion nomination of Prezzee Pty Ltd

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 Prezzee Pty Ltd, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

The page WP:NCORP will give you a better idea of what Wikipedia considers to be a notable business. Stating the business's activity, fundraising, shareholding and personnel doesn't do the job, after all, every business has those attributes. Cabayi (talk) 22:27, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Walter Murch, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Director. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:21, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

Your edits are problematic

Most of your recent edits are NOT HELPFUL and have to be reverted. E.g., at Lighthouse of Alexandria you inserted a circular redirect that links back to the same article. At Elephant bird, you inserted a link to a disambiguation page that can only confuse the reader. Both of these errors you have made many times. In addition, you are using a misleading edit summary of "added citation" for these actions - you are not adding citations, you are inserting wikilinks. - Please either stop this or spend a lot more time double-checking your edits. Currently you are mostly creating work for other people who have to clean up after you. Cheers --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 13:42, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. JACKINTHEBOX • ^TALK 08:00, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Not sure what to make out of your reply. One of the admins User:Cyphoidbomb insisted Indianism is not allowed even on articles exclusively related to India. I hope he clarifies his position against this differing opinion from another senior editor Ihaveabandonedmychild (talk) 15:17, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

@Ihaveabandonedmychild: It's odd that you're responding to a two-month-old notice on another editor's talk page to get clarification about this instead of asking me directly. I also don't know what specific edit the notice refers to, but this should be pretty simple to understand. From MOS:TIES: "An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation should use the (formal, not colloquial) English of that nation." Since India uses a form of English built on the British standard, in an article about Shah Rukh Khan, we'd use British spelling variants. In an article about Brad Pitt, we would use American spelling variants. The prior discussion you are referring to had to do with an ambiguous India-specific colloquialism, which is not likely to be understood by our global readership. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:50, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

User:Cyphoidbomb, "Glamorous" is not a colloquial word as far as Indian English is concerned, as it is common in articles that are rather formal. I can furnish references if you wish. It is also quite common in Wikipedia biography articles and its pervasiveness proves that it is a rather acceptable term in Wiki encyclopedia. See the search result https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Glamorous+roles&title=Special:Search&profile=default&fulltext=1&ns0=1

It has been used in two biography of non-Indian Hollywood actresses and of course,in countless articles relating to Indian actresses and has survived there foe ages without attracting attention from admins. I am still not sure why you are so persistent on your stance.
