Draft:Miss Grand International

Hello. Miss Grand International has been deleted many times under that name, and also many times under other similar names, the article title is salted and there are no sources confirming notability in the draft. Salting that the people who endlessly promote the pageant here have been circumventing by highjacking existing articles about other subjects, turning them into articles about the pageant, and then moving it to Miss Grand International, overriding the write/creation protection. I.e. pure vandalism. So if it can't be deleted as G4 there has to be some other criteria it can be deleted under, because it should definitely not be here. - Tom | Thomas.W talk 10:55, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You can nominate the Draft for deletion using WP:MFD if it is so bad it needs to go away. I do not see it as needing to be deleted from Draft space. It isn't being continuously resubmitted for review. There are no major problems with it, just nothing at this point to show it is notable. ~ GB fan 11:13, 31 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPP

When declining CSD tags (or PRODs for that matter), would you mark the article as unreviewed? Marking a page for deletion with the NPP tool automatically marks it as patrolled, and most new page patrollers don't continue to review an article after tagging it for deletion because it's a waste of time if the article is deleted.

I have no idea how to mark an article as unreviewed. ~ GB fan 00:29, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Category:2019 South Korean television series debuts

I don't want to start warring over this edit but the cat is now empty again. I'm probably more forgiving than most of future-year categories, but these TV ones are probably db-g6-able on WP:CRYSTALLBALL grounds; there's a Category:Upcoming television series hierarchy as a waiting room until the actual debut date is history. Le Deluge (talk) 10:38, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the criterion it gets to sit for another 7 days. I re tagged it as empty. ~ GB fan 10:42, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Can you delete the page that misspelled "Awrards" instead of Awards? [1] 183.171.120.235 (talk) 04:38, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Done ~ GB fan 09:22, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Erneshea

To let you know, this article has now been speedy deleted more than once. It was obvious to me that the user was making tests (Moving from user page, making up content). But anyways :) Polyamorph (talk) 19:05, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Robert_Miller_Gallery Page Deleted

Robert Miller Gallery page was deleted under speedy deletion, after links were included in Robert Mapplethorpe's page to link some of his shows to the gallery (already reference in the artist's article). There are a number of references that link the artist to the gallery. Example below:

https://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/27/arts/robert-miller-manhattan-art-dealer-dies-at-72.html

Also included in the main gallery owner's page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Miller_(art_dealer)

Please let me know what needs to be adjusted to restore the Robert Miller Gallery page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tns0321 (talk • contribs) 17:17, 11 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tns0321, I have restored it and placed in the draft space. You can find it at Draft:Robert Miller Gallery. ~ GB fan 01:05, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you say, "redlinks do not belong on DAB pages", but the Manual of Style leaves this possibility open: "Do not create red links to articles that are unlikely ever to be written, or are likely to be removed as insufficiently notable topics". The topic you removed is discussed on several other Wikipedias in a separate article, as I mentioned, so I think there is a good chance that some-one writing in English would realize that it is strange to have an article on world records and baseball records but not on the general subject of sports records. It would be nice if you would respond to that edit summary instead of repeating the same general remark which is an exaggeration of the guidelines. Bever (talk) 16:04, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bever, the pertinent section of the Manual of Style concerning DAB pages is at MOS:DABRL. ~ GB fan 16:51, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's what I cited. Bever (talk) 17:38, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Bever, If you read the section on Individual entries, it says "Include exactly one navigable (blue) link to efficiently guide readers to the most relevant article for that use of the ambiguous term." The entry you were adding had exactly 0 blue links. Every entry must include a blue link. ~ GB fan 17:58, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
After rereading what I wrote, not sure I was clear what I meant. Every entry on a DAB page must have a link to an existing English Wikipedia article that talks about the concept covered by the DAB page. The entry you were adding only had a red link so it does not belong. ~ GB fan 00:58, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ontological hermeneutics page

If you want to leave the page up, that's fine. But I fabricated all of the information on it. It's all fake. I just jimmy-rigged information from numerous sources and made it all up from there. I am surprised you didn't notice that on the talk page. Biogeographist has basically spelled it all out. He's the one who caught me in what I did. Urstadt (talk) 17:48, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't want the article up or deleted, I know nothing about the subject and will not make that decision. I just said that WP:G7 does not apply. ~ GB fan 17:59, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Republic of The Fort of XM

Hi I just draftified the above article as per WP:DRAFTIFY but I should have CSD'ed it as an A11 especially as I saw you already deleted it once. Should I revert to be deleted or just let it rot in draftsapce? Dom from Paris (talk) 13:30, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a problem with it in Draft for now. I don't think it will ever survive as an article. If the editor submits it multiple times it will get sent to MFD and then we are done with it. ~ GB fan 13:41, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OK thanks for that. cheers Dom from Paris (talk) 14:11, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion contested: Amanda Sullivan Randle Rudd

Hello GB fan. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Amanda Sullivan Randle Rudd, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 18:40, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Eastmain can you tell me what you see in the article as a credible claim to significance? ~ GB fan 18:42, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
First African American head of an important cultural landmark, the Chicago Public Library. Coverage in national publicatoons such as Jet and Ebony. Those references and some others are now added to the article. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 19:29, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
