Speedy deletion nomination of Missy USA

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 Missy USA 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 web content, 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, you can place a request here. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 02:23, 20 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

As noted on the article talk page, A7 criterion is a short-cut established for quick deletion of good-faith entries created by university student groups or whatnot simply repeating material on their student union meeting or other similar, one-shot, one-page items. It is not an acceptable mechanism for deletion of an entry on an entire website, one currently ranked at #6000 in the USA despite being in an entirely foreign language. -02:31, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
I believe it applies equally to web sites. You are clearly not a new user, but I'll leave that for someone else to deal with. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 03:01, 20 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Delicious carbuncle. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Sexism in South Korea, but that you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Please take care only to include what the source says.

  Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Rape in the United States. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!

I hope this is just WP:Stress. 17.4% of the female population is 25 million people. 100,000 rapes a year = 4,200,000 people. Do the math. 2+2=4. -Samsara9 (talk) 03:00, 20 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Given that there's a missing factor in the math (life span of females to get from a per-year statistic to a lifetime statistic), that's math beyond the realm of 2+2=4; it's original research to draw a conclusion from it. Further, you provided no source for the claim that "it is generally agreed that…": if it were generally agreed, you could provide multiple sources drawing the conclusion. —C.Fred (talk) 03:03, 20 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
This is just a mere explanation of how US statistics are deformed. Chinese ones are 10x the deviance. PRC government is reporting something less than 2% of chinese women have been raped, while western academic studies indicate 1/5th (same proportion as USA) of Chinese men admit to rape. Silence=Death. -Samsara9 (talk) 03:07, 20 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Rape in China

edit

While to topic is notable, and we have a Category:Rape in China category, may I suggest you try to focus on improving one article at a time? It also allows you to feature your work on the front page through WP:DYK (only articles created within the last 5 days are eligible). All it takes is ~250 words, and references. See for example my recent Gender inequality in the United States article. It is hardly large, but it satisfies main page DYK criteria (>250 words and reliable refs). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:17, 20 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Well I'll Sandbox it first, but the problem is one of source notability and press censorship. We may have to task force it if every brand new editor logging in can just go straight to the People's Armed Police webpage and say, look, you're over-reporting the problem 10x!-Samsara9 (talk) 03:24, 20 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Active peer reviewers

edit

The project Wikipedia:WikiProject Gender Studies/Peer review really needs active peer reviewers, so if you could click on that article and add your username under the Active Peer reviewers section that would be great. Please reply on my talk page and let me know. Thanks! Maranjosie (talk) 14:01, 31 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Gender inequality in South Korea

edit
 

The article Gender inequality in South Korea has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Ridiculous stub that totally fails to cover the topic in an adequate way. Yes, initially it was a bit longer, but no, it wasn't better. Let's restart from scratch.

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.
