Speedy deletion nomination of The Wet Spots[edit]

A tag has been placed on The Wet Spots requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

New attempt to sort out old problems on DIR[edit]

Hi George, I am trying to improve the DIR article, See Talk:Doing It Right#New attempt to sort out old problems. You have previously contributed to attempts to improve the article and may be interested to comment or contribute. Cheers, Peter (Southwood) ^(talk): 09:23, 18 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lily Eskelsen Garcia article[edit]

George, thank you for engaging in dialog about the article Lily Eskelsen García (The full discussion is on that article's talk page.) I appreciate the discussion. I also think your new version, referencing her apology, strikes a more neutral tone. My ongoing concern is really about how to put this in context. I guess I don't think Wikipedia is a good place to cover current events in detail. It's a question of balance. Do you feel like the controversy merits as much space in the article as her entire term as UEA president? Do you feel that it is as big a chunk of her biography as her run for Congress? Should the article give more space to this week's events than to the week she was elected NEA president? I'm hoping the new stuff can find its proper context, perhaps in a larger article with a section covering the many controversies in which the leader of a politically active union will inevitably become embroiled. Thanks again.--Thelema12 (talk) 19:36, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Unified Team Diving[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.

A tag has been placed on Unified Team Diving, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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 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. Sæn mō sà 09:08, 14 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
