Proposed deletions
Hi, you proposed a few of articles I created for deletion. After some expansion I thinks they meet WP:GNG so I removed the delition tag from Siti Noor Halimi Hussain, Nur Izzati Khairudin and Farahiyah Ridzuan. Sander.v.Ginkel (Talk) 22:29, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah thats fine. Thanks for your work Sander.v.Ginkel! — Yellow Dingo (talk) 22:31, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I need your help. I am participating in the African Stub Activity thing-a-ma-jig. I found a core stub for burkina faso, but it already exceeds 1500 characters. Do i just enter it as if i edited it or what?GrecoRomanNut (talk) 05:35, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- Hi GrecoRomanNut, thanks for participating in the contest. Firstly, a core stub must meet one of two criteria:
- A biography of a women
- An article listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon/Core stubs - Burkina Faso (and for other countries, it's equivalent)
- Eye of the Storm (2015 film) meets neither of those criteria. However, that doesn't mean you can't enter it into the contest. Any article that was a stub that was then expanded to over 1500 bytes of prose is eligible. Your article is currently only 1311 bytes. This is taken from the page size tool, specifically the "Prose size (text only): 1311 B (226 words) "readable prose size"" line. If you expand it a bit more and make sure it is well referenced, your entry will be accepted by one of the judges, either Dr. Blofeld (who is the main judge) or myself. Your entry on the entries page is fine although it is helpful for us if you include a diff of your changes. I also noticed that, perhaps accidentally, you added {{tick}}. That template should only be used by the judges to distinguish accepted entries. I would recommend that you have a read of Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon/Rules which details the full competition rules. The "competition and entry process" section of that page details the particulars on how to enter articles. Finally, once you have de-stubbed an article (even if it isn't long enough to be accepted — as long as it is over ~500 B+ should be fine) please add it to this list at the bottom of the main contest page. This acts as a summary of all articles approved in the contest. Thanks, — Yellow Dingo (talk) 05:52, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
