Should this page be deleted or content merged?

Hi John, I'm going through and sorting out unsupported parameters using Infobox school and came across this page: Founder's Badge (Boys' Brigade in Malaysia). Is this even notable to have its own article on Wikipedia? Seems to be an award with one reference that comes to a page with "Sorry, no posts matched your criteria". Maybe the article should be deleted or at least content merged into Boys' Brigade in Malaysia. Don't think Infobox school is the right infobox to use, maybe Infobox award?

I redirected it. John from Idegon (talk) 22:15, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletions

I don't fight proposed deletions bc it takes too much work. Appreciate it, if you could clean up all the dead links.

Cheers,

I have no idea what you are talking about. Please see the note at the top of the page. John from Idegon (talk) 01:32, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

I don't fight proposed deletions bc it takes too much work. Appreciate it, if you could clean up all the dead links that get created as a result.

Cheers, Koncurrentkat (talk) 01:43, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

And that's supposed to clear it up? I still have no idea what you are talking about. I can read, so what the hell was the point of simply repeating exactly what you said before? I don't appreciate people who waste my time. Since you've asked me to do something (twice), don't you think it would be appropriate to provide a link to whatever it is you are talking about?

Dead links get left behind after a page gets deleted Koncurrentkat (talk) 02:02, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Are you always this narcissistic? I have no idea what damn article you are talking about! John from Idegon (talk) 06:04, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

(talk page watcher)@Koncurrentkat: If you want to discuss a particular article/page it helps to provide a link. Are you referring to Tony Venhuizen? Also, "dead links" is commonly used when discussing WP:DEADREF. Any links to external website are automatically deleted when an article/page is deleted. My guess is that you're referring to WP:REDLINK. You are correct in that these will not be deleted per se, since they are technically located in other articles; a red link, however, does not automatically need to be deleted per WP:REDYES. When it does all that sometimes needs to be done is to remove the link markup. If you're worried about any redlinks being left behind if the article is deleted then (1) you can try and address the reasons why the article is being proposed for deletion by trying to improve it per WP:PRESERVE or (2) refer to Special:WhatLinksHere/Tony Venhuizen and proactively cleanup any possible redlinks yourself. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:49, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

My page got reviewed, does this mean it gets to stay? Other pages have similar notability credentials Dusty Johnson (chief of staff to Governor of South Dakota) and Harvey C. Jewett IV (South Dakota Board of Regents member). Tony Venhuizen has both chief of staff and SD Board of Regents. Also I believe John from Idgeon has reviewed a previous appointee page of mine James E. McMahon. Maybe none of them qualify for notability :( Koncurrentkat (talk) 19:48, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

McMahon is a federal appointee to a non staff position. He's definitely notable. Jewett is possibly notable for his business position and may meet GNG. I'm going to prod Johnson. Suggest you familiarize yourself better with WP:BLP prior to creating any more articles. John from Idegon (talk) 20:25, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Deprod: Schuler Books & Music

Hello, I have deprodded Schuler Books & Music, because it has previously survived an AfD. I only did this to comply with policy and have no prejudice one way or the other on the merits of the deletion nomination. If you still wish to pursue deletion, please feel free to open another AfD. Thanks, —KuyaBriBri^Talk 14:55, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

Westmount Charter School

Why was the 2008 incident section removed? It's not really news, it's kind of the history of the school.

—FibonacciYYC^Talk

FibonacciYYC, did you actually read the link WP:NOTNEWS? On what basis do you contend that an event that occupied a couple hours on one day and was not noted by any sources outside the local area is history? See WP:RECENT for guidance. The event's importance to people associated with this school is not relevant. John from Idegon (talk) 20:35, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

I did. I realize now that I am completely wrong and I am a failure. Sorry that you had to suffer from this cruel post.
