PSTN switch-off in the UK[edit]

I've created an article on the forthcoming United Kingdom PSTN switch-off, which is already starting to happen with the stop-sale of some new copper network products. I'm sure my article is greatly over-simplified; if any proper UK telecoms wonks are reading, could you please fill in the fine technical and commercial details on this? — The Anome (talk) 14:52, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of eldest sons of earls in the peerages of Britain and Ireland 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/List of eldest sons of earls in the peerages of Britain and Ireland until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, 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 until the discussion has finished.

Draft article awaiting review for director/writer Misha Manson-Smith[edit]

I have a draft biography pending review for director/writer Misha Manson-Smith. It has yet to be reviewed after some weeks. Seeking feedback to progress it getting published. Intending to link it to a new article on "hybrid comedy" which is a niche but specific sub genre as performed by the likes of Sacha Baron Cohen, Nathan Fielder, Marc Wootton and Eric Andre, in which actors play fictional characters interacting with unsuspecting people in documentary like situations. Manson-Smith has directed a number of works in this field, some for the BBC, such as High Spirits With Shirley Ghostman. Manson-Smith has also directed a number of other BBC dramas and comedies including Ordinary Lies, Excluded, Pramface, Dancing On The Edge, Stanley Park.

On the help chat, I was advised to post here, along with the key citations that demonstrate notability. Links below. Any feedback would be most helpful.
