Speedy tagging[edit]

You have tagged a bunch of articles with WP:A7 and WP:G11. In none of the cases have you notified the author of the article. You are required to do that. You must notify the author(s) now, or you must remove the tags yourself.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:22, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. @Bbb23 super aggressive and without reason. I made those edits about an hour ago, a client called and I had to prioritise my own work, so I am sorry (not sorry) that I had to do other things first. You know that Wikipedia is a voluntary activity, and it has a specific guideline for assuming good faith, so your rudeness is out of place.

Back to the topic. The articles in question are from an account that is spamming new articles. In the talk page of the user, there are several recent notifications about this act. MexFin (talk) 14:12, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: I notified the author of the articles, and provided links to the notability guidelines for living people. However, I think that there may be a deeper issue because the talk page is peppered with notices for speedy deletion for biographies of people with WP:A7 MexFin (talk) 14:40, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

MexFin, please read WP:CSD carefully. Neither Evan Lyons nor Nigel Harte, nor Draft:Aidan Devaney were eligible for speedy deletion A7 or G11. Storchy (talk) 14:47, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Storchy Ok, maybe the reason is that I am new here, but I sincerely do not get it. The notability criteria for the person was missing according to Wikipedia:Notability (people) specifically for sports personalities is not met. I went to the userpage and noticed that it is peppered with notices of WP:A7, so I assumed that this was the right template. I apologize if it is incorrect. What am I missing? Thanks for helping me learn. MexFin (talk) 15:04, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to help. Speedy deletion WP:A7 is for articles that make no credible assertion of notability whatsoever, like "My friend Joe is the best football player I've ever seen." The Evan Lyons article, on the other hand, had reliable sources about his notability as a player. WP:G11 is for blatantly promotional articles which would need a complete rewrite to make them suitable for an encyclopaedia, and not for articles that are a bit promotional. If you think an article needs improving, then it's best to fix it yourself, or you can tag the article for improvement, using cleanup tags. Storchy (talk) 15:19, 2 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for September 15[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Business network, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Relationship. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
