Hi and some advice[edit]

Hi, I noticed that you re-created Tonle Bet Commune after it had been moved to draft space to Draft:Tonle Bet Commune (pinging 49ersBelongInSanFrancisco and Liz). I'd suggest reading Help:Your first article. Although stubs without sources and claims of notability are often left to exist in the main article space for a very short period of time, re-creating them after a user moves an article to WP:DRAFT space is a good sign you should slow down and figure out the right next steps.

(Also be a bit more careful testing out the Mediawiki API: User:YOUR USERNAME/Sandbox (which I've tagged for deletion).) Skynxnex (talk) 06:25, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh hi, thanks for your advice! I'm new to the MediaWiki API and I tried following the example here https://api.wikimedia.org/wiki/Core_REST_API/Reference/Pages/Create_page which says in the comment that it creates a page under the sandbox, but I forgot to replace my actual username!

FYI I'm the author of the Pumi library (https://github.com/dwilkie/pumi) which contains information about administrative regions of Cambodia. I'm working on writing a script which will create pages for the missing Districts/Communes and list all their villages. Dcwilkie (talk) 06:29, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also I didn't mean to re-create the article. I'm testing the API and I must have re-run the command. Sorry about that. Dcwilkie (talk) 06:30, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You tagging article in mainspace with WP:G7 might be the quickest way to get it deleted now. I'm not 100% what the correct criteria for me to use would be. Skynxnex (talk) 06:34, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've already tagged it under CSD A3. Tollens (talk) 06:34, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Dcwilkie: Please note that automated high-volume article creation is prohibited and will lead to a block, unless approved through a bot request. All mass-created articles must also cite at least one source establishing notability under WP:GNG. See WP:MASSCREATE for the full details. To submit a bot request, please see WP:BRFA. Tollens (talk) 06:42, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @TollensI already submitted a bot request, but I noticed that there is no discussion on there. Do I need to do anything else? Dcwilkie (talk) 05:37, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you missed the instruction to add the BRFA template to WP:BRFA - I've just done that on your behalf, so people should be able to see it now. Tollens (talk) 05:57, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Tonle Bet Commune[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Tonle Bet Commune requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
