Speedy deletion nomination of Paola Valdez

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 Paola Valdez, 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 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. • Gene93k (talk) 10:59, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Miss Malta, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Blogs etc are not reliable sources, and cannot be used as references on Wikipedia.

A page you started (Miss World Kosova) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Miss World Kosova, Portalsource!

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Miss US Virgin Islands, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. There's nothing about the subject of the article, i.e. the pageant, in the single source that was given. Thomas.W ^talk 21:24, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Miss Trinidad and Tobago a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Miss Kazakhstan Universe

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Miss Kazakhstan Universe, and it appears to include material copied directly from https://en.wiki2.org/wiki/Miss_Kazakhstan.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Mobile-friendly

I have observed that you are trying to aggregate/collapse the different pageant titles from multiple tables into one table just like what you did with Miss Suriname and Miss Universe Slovenskej Republiky which is not mobile-friendly. Please make a table for each title to become reader -friendly. Take into account that the articles are being read in a variety of screen sizes and different gadgets. Moreover, read Wikipedia Manual of style (WP:MOS) as a guide so that the articles that you edit will be easier and more intuitive by promoting clarity and cohesion with consistent and precise language, layout, and formatting.--Richie Campbell (talk) 22:24, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mister International 2015

The article Mister International 2015 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Failed to meet WP:GNG. The article did not received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

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.
