Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Pages with COSPAR ID errors
A tag has been placed on Category:Pages with COSPAR ID errors requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

- UnitedStatesian, I highly suggest you read the first line of WP:C1 and the page history again and reconsider your action. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 03:35, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
It's only libellous if it's false.
Which it isn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CGSFH2 (talk • contribs) 04:27, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
