Proposed deletion of Mason Cook

edit
 

The article Mason Cook has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. jsfouche ☽☾Talk 03:04, 24 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Rowan Blanchard

edit
 

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 Rowan Blanchard 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Safiel (talk) 04:15, 26 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page Moisés Arias worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Thank you. AussieLegend (talk) 03:44, 27 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop making test edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Moisés Arias. It is considered vandalism, which, under Wikipedia policy, can lead to a loss of editing privileges. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. AussieLegend (talk) 02:59, 28 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Moisés Arias, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Mateo Arias

edit
 

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 Mateo Arias, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

  This is your last warning; the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Micah Williams, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Baseball Watcher Lets Chat 18:49, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked temporarily from editing for vandalism: highjacking the article at Micah Williams. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Diannaa (Talk) 20:08, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, Melv10. Please do not over-write Wikipedia articles with your own content the way you did at Micah Williams. You have now been blocked for a short period as you continued to damage the article after a final warning was issued. The actor Mica Williams is not presently considered notable enough for his own article. --Diannaa (Talk) 20:21, 16 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

The reason you cannot do this move is because is is what is called a WP:cut and paste move, and the history of the article about Micah Williams is no longer properly attached to the corresponding article; instead it would be attached to the article about Micah Williams the actor. It is important to save the page history for proper attribution of authorship for copyright reasons. If Micah Williams the actor were notable enough for his own article, you would create one at Micah Williams (actor) or at Micah Stephen Williams. Then you would create a disambiguation page to help people find the correct article, or place hat notes on the articles. If you ever need help moving pages, please post a request at WP:requested moves. I have reversed your edits, which was still possible, as no one else had edited the articles involved in the interim. --Diannaa (Talk) 00:13, 17 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Mason Cook

Minor, possibly notable child actor, requests deletion via OTRS

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 Randy Rayon, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

A tag has been placed on Prodigy (singer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

  Please do not remove file deletion tags from file description pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Ray Ray (Mindless Behavior), without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you.
