Wilfrid Wood

Hello. I have started a discussion about the best title for the page at Talk:Wilfrid René Wood; please take a look. Thanks for your work on the page so far. Nedrutland (talk) 11:41, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

The "Rene" bit seems useful because of the living artist called "Wilfrid Wood" (www.wilfridwood.com), but I don't care strongly about either the accent or the shortened form of his name, as long as the shortened form does not lead to ambiguity (or broken links). BTW, this is my first time in "talk", so let me know if I'm doing things wrong. NingBing (talk) 12:31, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 7

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Australian aviation firsts, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Darwin. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Three word budget

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 Three word budget 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 an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), 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 read more about 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

Notability

I wasn't sure if you'd see my response on the help desk page, so I thought I'd post here (and add to it).

For what it's worth, I'm the one who flagged the article for speedy deletion. I did so because it was an obvious candidate - it was a flash-in-the-pan Twitter tag which attracted bugger all mainstream media attention and was completely forgotten about by the next week. It roundly failed even the most basic notability criteria for articles that Wikipedia has. I generally err on the side of including material on Wikipedia, I'm Australian, and I'm a fervent opponent of this budget (and thus agree with you politically) - this was just something that couldn't meet even the lowest possible bar Wikipedia has. I think you totally mean well but you're fundamentally misunderstanding Wikipedia's notability criteria. You can grasp at straws to an extent when you're making notability arguments, but this is waaaay beyond what you can get away with.

To respond to your arguments on the administrator's talk page: It isn't "an emerging new term or phrase". It was a Twitter hashtag fad that lasted for a few days and didn't make much of an impact. Neither is it a significant use of Twitter and hashtags (in Australia): I don't even use Twitter and I can think of a bunch off the top of my head that are far more notable. I think Twitter hashtags generally are something you're going to find will nearly always get deleted, but this one isn't within cooee of the bar to be kept. "Immediate public reaction" to a government decision via Twitter is not vaguely new, and this is neither a new or particularly popular example of it, and "amusing and clever" might be very funny but it doesn't get stuff kept on Wikipedia.

tl;dr Twitter hashtags are almost never going to get seen as notable unless there's a really good reason. I can think of some hilarious ones on my pet causes that have been going for nearly a year, have large-scale worldwide participation in my communities, and have spilled over a bit into the real world, but I'm pretty confident that if I tried writing articles on them - even if I'd cited them to the hilt - they'd be instantly put on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion and I'd probably lose the argument.

Wikipedia's coverage of the budget is crap compared to what it could be, and there are better places to spend your time if you're interested in contributing. The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:31, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
