Concern regarding Draft:M7 (Durban)

Hello, T866. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:M7 (Durban), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 10:02, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sibaya Casino & Entertainment Kingdom

Hello T866,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Sibaya Casino & Entertainment Kingdom for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

M41 (Durban) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, M41 (Durban), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Undiscussed moves

If a page has had a move discussion in past 5 years, and you want it moved, you should start a new move discussion. It is not OK to move it unilaterally as you did at Witbank.-- Toddy1 (talk) 14:53, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Metropolitan Routes

Hi there.

I'm sure you've noticed what has happened to your M1 road (Durban), M25 road (Durban) & M41 (Durban) articles in recent hours, right?

Well, I had a similar situation recently, where I tried to make sure that each & every one of the Metropolitan Routes in Pretoria has its own article on Wikipedia.

If you want those "Metropolitan Routes" to each have an article on Wikipedia, I suggest you find "citations" for the "Introduction" part of the article, like I did at M6 road (Pretoria).

That one citation you placed in the "Route" section of those articles was alright, although there was a Google Maps Debate at WP:ANI recently, where it was somehow decided that "Google Maps" (& anything from the same facility, such as Google Earth or Google Street View) is not a "good-enough citation" to use on road articles. So, it has been declared a "weak citation" & we may need to find a second source on top of that one.

So, in summary, I suggest that the "Introduction" should have some citations (just like I did at M6 road (Pretoria)). The route section is alright with only that Google Maps citation, although it is recommended that a second citation should be added there.

Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Connecting

If you are interested, there is already a community of users who are roadfans or who edit articles about roads, just like you! Stop by any of these WikiProjects—WP:HWY (worldwide), WP:AURD (Australia), WP:CARD (Canada), WP:HKRD (Hong Kong), WP:INRD (India), WP:UKRD (United Kingdom), or WP:USRD (United States)—and contribute. If your interest is in roads in the United States, there is an excellent new user's guide. There is a wealth of information and resources for creating a great article. If you have questions about any of these WikiProjects, you can ask on each project's talk page, or you can ask me!

If you would like to chat with other editors, you can join the Wikimedia Community Discord server. Here, there are several editors who are willing to answer your questions.

Proposed deletion of M41 (Durban)

The article M41 (Durban) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No effective references. Single google maps doesn't verify the subject per WP:V. Fails WP:SIGCOV.

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. scope_creep^Talk 23:56, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

DYK for M1 (Durban)

On 24 December 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article M1 (Durban), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that some residents near Higginson Highway believe that a ghost named "Sheila" is the cause of the highway's fatal accidents? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/M1 (Durban). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, M1 (Durban)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
