Days of the Year articles

edit

Yes. All Days of the Year entries now have to be accompanied by a citation from a reliable source to back up the date. This is because so many of them were found to be wrong. The new rule was introduced about 18 months ago and it will take a long time to get the existing entries sorted out, but no new ones are allowed unless they comply. That'll be why yours was removed.

Recent deaths

edit

I see that you added an entry without an article. Please write a well-sourced article soon, or it will not stay. Red links are only acceptable if the subject has an article which may be in a different language. Your implication that we differentiate American and English is wrong and not helpful. An American without article would be deleted from the list as well. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:46, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • apologies Gerda Arendt - the original person who deleted the entry was very rude ... had he not been rude I might have respected his decision, as it is because he was rude I needed to challenge his decision. I presume you are telling him off for being rude? Rhyddfrydol2 (talk) 20:59, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Please keep things simple and factual, - English is not my first language. I deal with Recent deaths A LOT. Subjects need to have an article, period. You can't expect people to check your history and see that you are rather new and don't know that. Look at the article below, which was written and is still threatened with deletion for being not "notable". This has nothing to do with American vs. English, and your references to that distinction are no testimony of Good Faith which in case of doubt should prevail. Summary: you are free to write an article about the person who died. It needs excellent independent sources, or will be deleted, as the one about Riyat may be deleted, or not. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:05, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
It seems notability is harder for medical people than footballers Rhyddfrydol2 (talk) 21:20, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Compare Manjeet Singh Riyat. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:51, 24 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
