A question for any more experienced editor or admin.

There is an article titled Executive Protection which refers only to a movie by that name. This completely omits the meaning of the term itself - executive protection (keeping the CEO etc safe from harm) is an important subject in the security world. It would make sense to have the current article labeled Executive Protection (Movie) or something along those lines and a different article on the actual subject of executive protection. But after reading extensively about disambiguation and looking at various examples, I'm not confident about the right way to handle this. And I don't really want to bungle up the movie page.

Suggestions or help welcome. Thanks.

You are quite correct.
  1. Make a new page Executive Protection (Movie)
  2. transfer existing content from Executive Protection page to the new page
  3. then put in some initial info about keeping the CEO etc safe from harm into that page
  4. add an 'other use' comment to each page, linking to the other page

Speedy deletion of Murray Mednick[edit]

A tag has been placed on Murray Mednick requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader.

Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Well, that was aggressive :) The article has been improved and also labeled as a stub. The subject certainly seems worthy of a Wikipedia entry. Derekcslater (talk) 17:51, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Executive Protection (Movie), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Executive Protection. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and 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 and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.
