As reviewing administrator, I have removed about half of the speedy deletion tags you have placed on various makeup artists. All that is required to pass speedy deletion is some claim to significance, that a reasonable person might thing a WP article appropriate. This is very much less than notability. Having a singificant role in a major film, for example, or having any sort of an award, is is just such a reasonable indication, but , if that;s the main claim, it is according to our guidelines not usually notability. The way to deal with borderline notability is not speedy, but Prod of AfD. (If the article is being activelyedited, it is likely that Prod will not work, so AfD is more useful).

In any case it is required that when you place a deletion tag of any sort on an article, that you say so on the edit summary. This is to assist us overworked admins to see what is going on, and what edits need critically to be dealt with, as well as to assist the contributors. This is not optional,

Some of your tagging is excessive: There is no point in placing the same tag that has already on the article. There is no point in multiple tags referrring to the same problem. We have, btw, a specific tag for BLPs sourced only or primarily by IMDB, {{BLP IMDB refimprove}} , and it is helpful to use it rather than a more general tag.

You are quite right , however, that most of the articles in the category of makeup artists are very low in quality, being mostly highly promotional and inadequately referenced. DGG ( talk ) 19:22, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

I understand your advice and will review all of the info you've sent. I have bookmarked all of the pages that I placed tags on and am searching for ways to improve the ones that seem to need work rather than simple deletion. I found the articles in question due to the fact that I'm writing an article in my sandbox about a person I read about it in that industry, and it's frustrating to see the many articles that are of low quality when I will be sourcing and citing my article as extensively as possible. Thanks again for your information and advice. Etrangere ( talk ) 19:22, 15 February 2014

Your request for undeletion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that a response has been made at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion regarding a submission you made. The thread is Bliss Wishes. JohnCD (talk) 11:21, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Understood

I will be abandoning the article for Bliss Wishes as it doesn't seem notable enough or at least I'm unable to find any credible, editorial sources for citation. Thanks for the review.

Tanya Burr

I noticed you attempted to tag the article Tanya Burr for deletion but did not complete all the necessary steps. For the time being I have removed the tag until an AfD is filed. If you wish to fully complete the steps, please follow the instructions at WP:AFDHOWTO. Mkdw ^talk 02:07, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - I thought I had followed through on the process. I placed the banner, then placed the discussion on the appropriate page. Is there more? I went through the AfD2 process as this article has been proposed before. There is a discussion opened there. So... Should the tag be replaced? Thank you - Etrangere ( talk )

There were issues with the tag at the top and you posted your nomination on the listing page instead of creating a new page for the nomination. Here are the steps:

Add {{subst:afd1}} to the top of Tanya Burr. (Note AFD 2 are for articles that have already had one complete nomination at AfD)
Use {{subst:afd1 | pg=PageName | cat=Category | text=Why the page should be deleted}} ~~~~ at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tanya Burr
Add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tanya Burr}} to the list at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2014 February 16. Or if you get this tomorrow at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2014 February 17

February 2014

Hi Etrangere. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I declined your deletion request for Lisa Butler, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. Please take a moment to look at the suggested tasks for patrollers and review the criteria for speedy deletion. Particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion or proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. Cindy(talk) 02:41, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the information. Clearly I still have more to learn about this process and all advice, information and feedback is appreciated. Will look further into what you've written above. Etrangere ( talk )

Disambiguation link notification for February 21

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jo Baker, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mark Jacobs (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Ummm, hummm?

The dates on these tags seem ... wrong. [1]. --j⚛e decker ^talk 05:27, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
