You did some work on a page I created years ago. It is now being nominated for deletion. I would really appreciate your help & thoughts in the discussion. [1] [2]. 'm convinced the page meets notability criteria and the secondary sources are solid. There are more sources available that I will find and add. I don't feel it merits deleteion.

Speedy deletion nomination of I'll Show You (Justin Bieber album)
A tag has been placed on I'll Show You (Justin Bieber album) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
- disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
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 removed 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. --Another Believer (Talk) 23:04, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi there. I just wanted to let you know that I've nominated I'll Show You (Justin Bieber album) for deletion since it does not serve a purpose. There is no album by this name.

Thank you for creating redirects, but I'll Show You (Justin Bieber album) is not really necessary. ---Another Believer (Talk) 23:06, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Nomination of Robbie Middleton for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Robbie Middleton is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robbie Middleton until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 02:35, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
The article Omar Arnaout has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Proposed deletion of Les Fréres Cheminaud
The article Les Fréres Cheminaud has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Searches unsurprisingly found nothing better at all and that's not surprising considering there's even hardly much here.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. SwisterTwister talk 06:19, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Wouter Janssen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Alexf(talk) 19:12, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Henzel
Could you please take a look at the article about Dominik Henzel that I created a few weeks back. It is up for AfD but the main reason for deletion seems to be article quality. So if there is any improvements that you can see that could be made, please do. Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 23:48, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Echoes-of-Merry-Christmas-Everyone.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Echoes-of-Merry-Christmas-Everyone.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:34, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Book of Love (The Magnetic Fields song), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gavin James. 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.

DYK for Hilda Nilsson
On 31 December 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hilda Nilsson, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that serial killer Hilda Nilsson committed suicide by hanging the same day the courts commuted her death sentence to life imprisonment? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hilda Nilsson. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
