Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Levi Addison Gardner, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Leslie Lynch King. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 18:05, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Woodgrove (village)

edit
 

The article Woodgrove (village) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not appear to meet notability standards. No significant coverage. Could redirect to Pietermaritzburg as an AFD, but "woodgrove" isn't exactly an uncommon name for villages, so it's not clear there's any sensible single target.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. — Moriwen (talk) 21:26, 26 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Birthplace for John Garlock

edit

The article you created for John Garlock indicates that he was born in Atlantic City, New Jersey. I looked through the sources in the article and tried to search in Google, but I can't find a reliable source for the city. Am I missing something? Alansohn (talk) 15:15, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, the family is from New Jersey, and Garlock's grave profile lists Atlantic City. i am prepared to assume that this is the case. Perhaps we should put a citation needed template there RogerNotable (talk) 15:35, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
When you say "grave profile" do you mean Find a Grave? If so, this is a source that is generally deemed unreliable. Ideally, we can find a reliable source, or tag as needing a source. Alansohn (talk) 16:42, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Alright

Have you heard of Garlock fascinating man RogerNotable (talk) 17:10, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

He was new to me. It was fascinating going through sources and reading about him. Thanks for your work on the article. Alansohn (talk) 15:35, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes. I’m a journalist and I had the pleasure of flying to South Africa to interview Ed Louton, and he taught him. I was shocked that they weren’t here, so I added them RogerNotable (talk) 18:42, 7 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Deletion discussion about George E. Walker

edit

Hello RogerNotable, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, George E. Walker, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George E. Walker (2nd nomination).

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Grahaml35}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Grahaml35 (talk) 13:04, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

If you think so, you can just delete it- I’m not attached to it. I would disagree but then again you have seniority. RogerNotable (talk) 13:09, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Malcolm MacLeod (fisherman)

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 Malcolm MacLeod (fisherman) 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 real person or group of people that does not credibly 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 "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 deleted 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. — Moriwen (talk) 14:42, 8 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Edward Gorsuch

edit

  Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. A page you created or have recently made significant changes to, Edward Gorsuch, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for pages, so it has been blanked and redirected to Christiana Riot. Three typical reasons for this are that: (1) the article's subject appears to fail our notability guidelines; (2) the article is unsourced; or (3) the sources used in the article are unreliable. The page's history is preserved and it is possible to restore the article: If you believe that this page should remain included on Wikipedia or that this action was taken in error, then you may revert the edit that blanked and redirected the page.
