Saturday April 30: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa @ Guggenheim
| Saturday April 30, 1-6pm: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa @ Guggenheim | |
|---|---|
 On Saturday April 30, 2016, in conjunction with a global campaign, the Guggenheim will host its fourth Wikipedia edit-a-thon — or, #guggathon — to enhance Wikipedia's coverage of modern and contemporary artists from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Wikipedia. The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Wikipedia Asian Month, and Art+Feminism. New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Wikipedia and Wikipedia specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support. Can’t join us in New York? Visit our global MENA Artists Month partnership page to coordinate international and online events as well.
Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) ~~~~~ | |

Proposed deletion of List of national sports teams of Bangladesh
The article List of national sports teams of Bangladesh has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Useless list containing only 2 entries.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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.

Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand. Light refreshments will be provided. Make edits! Ask questions! Be bold!

Nafsadh, I don't know what your interest in this article is, but you can't just restore an unverified and promotional article and then ask someone else to send it through AfD. When you restore this, the burden is on you to add secondary sources and rewrite it neutrally. Drmies (talk) 00:23, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
- That burden is still on you. Yes, after over 200,000 edits here I have heard of XfD. In the meantime, I won't place a template here for promotional and unverified editing, but please consider this a formal notification. Drmies (talk) 01:01, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
- I thought so.
- I have clear COI with this article. That doesn't change the fact that, you can randomly redirect some notable subject to oblivion. If you think a subject is not notable, you can follow any of the WP:XFD processes as suited. You think the subject don't warrant a separate article, I think it does. So, there is clearly a need for a third opinion. --nafSadh did say 01:04, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
- Let me get this straight. There is a promotional article without secondary sources with which you have a conflict of interest and you think it is somehow a good idea to revert the redirect. Yes, I think this subject is not notable, and you don't have a single good reason to revert the redirect; in fact, you should probably not touch this article in this state with a ten-foot pole.
