Your archives

Hi, I don't quite know what happened with your edit here, but it has sent me (and probably other people) notifications of 5 year old messages. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:21, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kudpung: Oh crap, I didn't think about notifications. I had way too many archive pages and was trying to consolidate them a bit. I probably just pinged everyone I've ever interacted with. That's...really not good.
@admin: Is there any way I can undo the notifications or am I screwed? --Nathan2055talk - contribs 06:40, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't worry about it for now. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:08, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Pretty sure (like 99% sure) you can't undo a ping, and if you revert your edit you might ping everybody again. Just leave it as is. :-) Katietalk 09:37, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Glapz sockfarm

Hello. I just want to let you know that the Glapz LTA is probably not WP:LTA/CCCC. CheckUser never actually confirmed even a tenuous connection (such as useragents), in any case. He is probably User:Jeffman12345, another vandal that this LTA has claimed to be on multiple occasions. I just thought that you should know this. LTAs are known for impersonating each other (such as the Willy on Wheels troll house and the "Fuerdai" vandal LTAs), so don't let this impersonation end up confusing you. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 02:00, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@LightandDark2000: Hmm, that makes things even more confusing. You might ought to chime in over on WP:AN, that discussion is probably why he's messing with my page right now. --Nathan2055talk - contribs 02:02, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Nathan2055: There's no need to open an RfC to ban either of them. Both CCCC and Jeffman12345/Glapz are de facto site banned, according to the sockpuppetry policy. (Jeffman12345 has actually been banned on en.wiki a while back.) Given the cross-wiki abuse, they're essentially de facto Globally Banned as well. There's no reason to open up an official RfC unless things get extremely serious (otherwise, it just draws unnecessary attention and energy).

Hi, agree with your merge proposal. The creator of the draft left in 2015 so I think you can go ahead with the merge if you like, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 20:08, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Balipara Foundation page review

Dear Nathan, Thank you for reviewing my efforts to draft a wiki article on Balipara Foundation. I have made the necessary changes. This foundation was the first one to recognise the efforts of Jadav Payeng in 2013, later on he was the recipient of Padam Shri in 2015, a very prestigious recognition of Government of India. This is one of the many things they do, to preserve and protect the nature and bio-diversity in North East of India. Any guidance to improve the article will be valuable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalpesh.popat (talk • contribs) 05:58, 22 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Africa Policy Institute drafts

The two "alternate" drafts are not independent. They are by different user accounts, but I don't think by different humans. The two are too similar to be a coincidence. I have filed Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Munenejohn. Thanks for noticing that the multiple spamming. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:52, 2 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fully Feathered Baskets draft article

Hi there-

I am new to writing an article and lack many aspects of Wikipedia experience. Thank you for your attention to my draft regarding fully feathered basktes and for helping to move it forward in the process.

I now have drafts for two more articles I've written, but I do not know how to post them as drafts as I did the one on fully feathered baskets. I am no longer able to access my sandbox to play around with them as I did the basket article because it is pending approval. So the new articles are only in a Word document, but written in the special Wikipedia edit writing style.

How am to propose these new article for consideration? I look forward to hearing from you. Merry Christmas! Hu Nhu (talk) 06:28, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cool handshakes author

Hi Nathan,

I am the author of cool handshakes that you nominated for deletion. You are completely right that I am just a new editor with nothing to write about. This was an assignment for school, and the teacher gave me with no parameters and no answers to any questions, so it really just became a "get it over with assignment". Trust me I did not feel good about hitting publish and frankly, I am so glad that there are people who check the content on Wiki. I am so sorry for wasting your time. Cool handshakes were on the list of requested articles and when I read it, I also was confused about what constitutes a "cool handshake". There are literally no benchmarks, and I am so glad the semester is over. I am so sorry. Alexandrapantry (talk) 02:48, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Europa School UK

Hi Nathan - thanks for reviewing my attempt at a stub. I have revisited the page and added links to a local newspaper article about the bilingual uniqueness of the school together with several video clips to the local MP making representations to Parliament and Ministers at the Department for Education to protect provision at the school of the European Baccalaureate qualification it offer following Brexit uncertainty. I hope you might revisit the page and reconsider given the uniqueness of the school. ESUK (talk) 19:42, 19 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 08:16:35, 7 January 2019 for assistance on AfC submission by Jackhuang2018


Hello,

I would like to create "Najing Technology" at Wikipedia since there's nothing English information about this high-tech company (found 2009 in China). This is a Chinese company without any English information, reference and source, How could i cite the reference by English? That's WHY my introduction about Najing Tech on wikipeida is always rejected! What can i do next?

Thank you very much. Jackhuang2018 (talk) 08:16, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jackhuang2018: Chinese sources are perfectly adequate, we do not require sources to be in English as long as they otherwise pass as reliable sources per our guidelines. The problem with your existing draft is that it does not have reliable sources: Wikipedia articles shouldn't cite other Wikipedia articles, the Bloomberg page only shows that it exists, and the company's websites are primary sources. Add some additional sources, including Chinese ones, to showcase the company's notability. Nathan2055talk - contribs 08:54, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi Nathan2055. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Minor user rights can now be accorded on a time limited or probationary period, so do check back at WP:PERM/NPR in case this concerns your application. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encylopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

  • Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance. so that they are aware.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
  • If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion.  ~~Swarm~~  {talk}  19:49, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Craig Steven Wright, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hal Finney (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.)

reFill

Hi, I notice you use reFill. This is a useful tool but sometimes introduces errors, most frequently inserting the unsupported parameter "|deadurl=y" instead of "|url-status=dead", such as here.

Draft:St Antony's Church concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:St Antony's Church, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

New Page Reviewer newsletter February 2020

Hello Nathan2055,

Source Guide Discussion

The first NPP source guide discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

Redirects

New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the New Pages Feed. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at WP:RPATROL.

Discussions and Resources
Refresher

Geographic regions, areas and places generally do not need general notability guideline type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of WP:SPAM for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice

Hi Nathan2055, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

New Page Reviewer newsletter June 2020

Hello Nathan2055,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Why won't my edit stay on the page?

Hi, I'm wondering why my edit won't stay on the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.64.114.162 (talk) 07:30, 2020 July 8 (UTC)

@148.64.114.162: Hello! If you're referring to your edits to Chad Hurley, it's because you didn't cite a reliable source. All content on Wikipedia has to be verifiable to a reliable source but most especially when it's information concerning living people, which fall under an even stricter policy on citations than our other pages. So just locate a reliable source discussing the divorce and add that to the article along with your statement. Thanks! Nathan2055talk - contribs 23:00, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My first edit war

Greetings!

Thank you for your offer of help, it came in very timely. I have never participated in edit wars before. In the last month, I ran into a previously unknown participant in the Wikipedia project, who constantly makes edits with inaccurate information in List of football stadiums in Belarus.

You can see the history of my edits in Wikipedia (Belarusian and English versions), Wikimedia Commons and Wikidate. I live in the Republic of Belarus and have been involved in football stadiums for over a year. I recently completely updated the list on the English Wikipedia: the list now includes all operating large stadiums, names have been translated from Belarusian into English, the actual capacity of sports facilities is indicated, shows the playing teams as of 2020.

A participant unknown to me found the Torpedo stadium in Minsk in the old version, which is currently in disrepair. The Football Federation of Belarus did not accept this stadium for official matches. Everyone in Minsk knows about it! Football club Torpedo Minsk ceased to exist. He cannot play in an indoor stadium, as he does not exist!

I explained all this to an unknown user in the description for my edits. However, he stubbornly continues to ignore me and introduces false information to the list of operating stadiums, thereby misleading the readers of Wikipedia. If he really cares so much about this stadium, why not edit an outdated version of the article about Torpedo Stadium? The article about a football club that no longer exists is also out of date. He does not make changes to it.

In similar lists of other countries, no one indicates the stadiums of former teams in disrepair. This is absurd! I even suggested a user unknown to me to create a separate list of inactive stadiums in Europe and add it there. All options offered by me were ignored, my edits are constantly canceled.

Therefore, I ask you to help me in this matter. Is it possible to protect the list from edits by any users for 30 days to stop the war of edits? Wikipedia readers will not suffer from this, but will only be protected from inaccurate information.

P.S. I keep the same list in the Belarusian Wikipedia, there are no edit wars there. All administrators know me, I always follow the rules of Wikipedia.

Thanks for your attention! --Football Beetle (talk) 13:23, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your messages on my talk page

Nathan2055: Thanks for your messages on my talk page about the request to create an article. I wanted to reach out to you personally rather than asking a gneeral question on the AfC page because there are unique circumstances associated with my requests. I recognize that the List of general authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and Area (LDS Church) pages already exist. I am a longtime contributor to both since the mid-200os, not long after I started editing Wikipedia. But there is a problem with editing those articles with the information on the user subpages. As I mentioned in my request, the Church announces the changes in the spring that will go into effect on August 1 of each year.

But to update the two pages in question with information about changes that have not yet gone into effect (which was the case with both articles) would violate WP:CRYSTAL since those changes are subject to change sometimes before they actually go into effect. The recommended solution to this problem through talk page consensus is to establish subpages (which has been done through my user page for the last half-decade or so). I accordingly created subpages for this year's changes (which can be found here and here.

The problem I run into year after year is that, once changes are made to the subpage, simply copying over those changes to the main articles off of which the original subpages are based does not allow the edit history of those subpages to appear on the main article pages. In previous years, I have had another editor help me with merging those page histories, as that individual had some administrative tools he/she could use for that purpose at that time, but in the interim, that user no longer edits Wikipedia as frequently, and may no longer have those tools at his/her disposal.

If the content from the user subpages is copied and pasted into the existing articles of that title, then the issue arises of how to transfer the edit history of those copied-over subpages to the main article space. If you know of a way around those issues, then I'd appreciate hearing from you. If not, I guess I will just copy the text from the subpage to the main page and refer anyone who has questions on those changes back to the history of the subpages. Just let me know either way. In the meantime, thanks for reaching out to me about this. I appreciate hearing from you. --Jgstokes (talk) 03:39, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

redirect in draft space?

Why would you create Draft:Explosive Removal and Destruction Service (EOD) (Belgium)? It doesn't appear to be from a move, so I'm struggling to understand what purpose that serves. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:17, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris troutman: It was cleanup from this move by UnitedStatesian; per Special:WhatLinksHere/Draft:Explosive Removal and Destruction Service (EOD) (Belgium) it was linked from Exsap's talk page, so I added back the redirect which had been suppressed to reduce any possible confusion for the new editor. After all, redirects are cheap. Nathan2055talk - contribs 21:38, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, that's not cleanup. There shouldn't be a redirect in draft space. How will it function? You would have to submit that redirect to AfC after the draft itself is promoted, which is silly. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:36, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with @Chris troutman:; it is clearly an error and should be deleted. Redirects are cheap does not apply in the draftspace, where novice editors can easily (and wrongly) think misformatted titles are actually correct, and then create new drafts with the same misformats: (do a quick search on how many drafts use (movie) as a disambiguator if you don't believe me). I plan to bring this one to RfD with the next batch of similar redirects, as I did at Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2020_July_23#In-draftspace_redirects. Unless, that is, you want to save everyone the trouble and apply the {{db-author}} tag to it. UnitedStatesian (talk) 06:16, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Chris troutman and UnitedStatesian: Fair enough. I've G7d the redirect in question, and I'll look through my logs and see if there are any more like that one that should be similarly deleted. Nathan2055talk - contribs 07:02, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging of Draft:Space DC

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Draft:Space DC. I do not think that Draft:Space DC fits any of the speedy deletion criteria  because he copied content is largely short factual statements, which have reduced copyright protection. While they should be paraphrased, IMO they do not reach G12. Similarly, the essentially factual statements, while they do not all belong in an article, are not at the G11 level, IMO. . If you wish, you may try using the simple proposed deletion (PROD) process, or the full articles for deletion (AfD) process, instead. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 22:30, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ProveIt dates

Hi, Nathan2055, I saw in this edit that you used ProveIt. I have used it as well, but I am still exploring it. In that edit, did you have to manually change the Date format, or is there a way to select that in ProveIt? Does it depend on having a {{Use dmy dates}} (or similar) template or does ProveIt add that? Finally, was that edit summary auto-generated by the tool? Thanks, 2pou (talk) 22:35, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Response to your comments on the draft page

HI Nathan2055,

This is with reference to your comment regarding the Wiki Page for Suresh Kohli. He has not created a Biography for himself as he passed away in March 2016. This is an initiative people who have read, watched and learnt from his work. Creating a Wikipedia page is with objective of spreading the content related to the vast body of work by Suresh Kohli in Literature, Literary Film Making and Literary Documentation. Therefore we request you not to delete the content.

Awaiting your response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kohlisuresh (talk • contribs) 13:30, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:Axcient

Hello Nathan2055. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Axcient, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: ineligible for speedy deletion - G11 previously declined. Thank you. Salvio 18:55, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Salvio giuliano: All right, I've opened an MfD instead: Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Axcient. Thanks for letting me know. Nathan2055talk - contribs 19:59, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

John D. Rees page

Nathan, Thank you for your message about moving the Draft/John D. Rees. I have made a horrible mistake. When I did move I renamed my username to John D. Rees not realizing that it would try to change my username. I thought it was replacing my username to the name of the article. Now what do I do? I think someone deleted it. I can access it through your email message but not when I log in to Wikipedia. I really don't have a conflict of interest. I'm retired and I'm not getting paid by John. He asked if I could set up a page for him. I thought I could but apparently this is viewed as a conflict. I don't work for him or the Department anymore. I retired almost 4 yeas ago. I do not plan to post any negativity or anything disrespectful. Should I have him get someone else to create his page? 

I am really new to this and would like to do more.  Not sure that I can digest all the directives. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.

Thank you and a question

Nathan, thank you for moving my file - Kentucky's First Prison. I got a message about someone going to delete it and I'm really confused as to why? Can you explain it a little easier for me to understand. I'm old and new - old as in age and new as in to all this. ha (thought you could use another smile!) I'm really enjoying creating but the snags are a bit overwhelming. Thank you for taking time to assist me. You are GREAT! I appreciate your feedback. Sharon Smko47 (talk) 21:36, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Nathan, I hate to bother you again but I just got a message from a Zoozaz1 that said my Kentucky's First Prison was rejected. She doesn't understand! She thinks it should go under Kentucky State Reformatory Wikipedia page. They are two different prisons but had the same name. The first prison (the reason I called it that) was Kentucky State Reformatory until 1910 then the name changed to Kentucky State Penitentiary (another prison in another part of the state now has that title also on a Wikipedia page). We are talking about 3 different prisons in 3 different locations. It's really simple, the flood of 1937 made the "First Prison" uninhabitable and it was torn down. The First Prison (that was known by both names) was located in Frankfort, Kentucky and now no longer exists; the Kentucky State Reformatory on your Wikipedia page is located in LaGrange, Kentucky and the Kentucky State Penitentiary is located in Eddyville, Lyon county, Kentucky. I'm talking about a completely different prison and its history is important to "stand alone," and not be combined with the other two. I can't find a way to chat with Zoozaz1. Is there any way you can help me with this? Please. Thanks. Smko47 (talk) 00:17, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Problem Child Soca page

Hello.

I see my page has been deleted. Can you please tell me where I can find it so that I can try to edit it again to meet Wikipedia requirements? — Preceding unsigned comment added by TerriAnneBaker (talk • contribs) 14:38, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(by talk reader) @TerriAnneBaker: Hi. Unlike Twitter and Facebook, no one gets to have "a page" on Wikipedia. This is an encyclopedia and our volunteer editors write the entries. You could ask at WP:REFUND to have an article un-deleted but, assuming the subject is not notable according to our standards, there would be no point in attempting to create it here.

Tagging of Ahmass Fakahany

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Ahmass Fakahany. I do not think that Ahmass Fakahany fits any of the speedy deletion criteria  because There are multiple claims of significance here including the CEO and COO positions. The tone is factual, and the article seems to be neutral, so this is not a G11. If you wish, you may try using the simple proposed deletion (PROD) process, or the full articles for deletion (AfD) process, instead, if this was an article, or another process such as MfD or XfD as appropriate.

The Society for Corporate Governance

Hey there. Looking for advice because there seems to be a bit of systemic disconnect here. But legitimately seeking your thoughts. Even though there were warnings that new page submissions could take months, the page I created earlier this week was unceremoniously denied in less than two days. By a single individual. Who, if you look at his page, indicates interest in lots of areas, none of which are related to the subject matter of the article in question.

Wouldn't it make sense for this process to be more deliberative, involving multiple reviewers with at least a passing knowledge of the subject? I could understand not having heard of the organization about which I wrote (before you ask, I have no relationship with the organization - I became familiar with them while in an earlier career), but anyone who's involved in corporate governance, investor relations, securities law, etc holds this organization in very high esteem. I was surprised they didn't already have a page! This is also one of the reasons there aren't sources that go in depth describing them: because anybody who knows of them already knows them. There's no need to say more than their name if they're referring to their work or an event of theirs. They're that important!

I mentioned that I had done some dabbling in Wikipedia about a decade ago with a different account (I lost the password). Things have changed since then. There are tons of articles in existence with much less sourcing than I had even done. It seems like the only fault of my article was that it wasn't created back then. Have you observed the pendulum swinging toward articles needing to be fully formed before they can even be approved? Are stubs no longer allowed? Lukevdl (talk) 18:19, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(by talk reader) @Lukevdl: I disagree with your assessment. Here's why: first, Zoozaz1 was right to decline Draft:The Society for Corporate Governance because the subject fails WP:NCORP. You seem to speak from a point of bias, where your familiarity with the organization blinds you to what our notability criteria actually require. For example, LinkedIn as a source fails WP:SPS and is therefore, not allowable. The subject's website also isn't a permitted source for notability. Second, our Articles for Creation process is volunteer-run, like everything is. While you could ask editors at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Companies for a review, editors in a topical WikiProject do not necessarily participate in draft reviews. Our draft reviewers often don't have expertise in the areas covered by the hundreds of drafts waiting for a review. Third, the wild west era of ten years ago has ended. We have since written an essay explaining why your argument about other articles is invalid. Whataboutism is really not the way to go and yes, you need to really develop an article to get it approved. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:46, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Chris troutman: Ouch! No bias here. Like I said, I was only tangentially aware of the organization. This was probably (hopefully?) cut and paste though so I won't take offense. Although we can be nostalgic, I think it's great that the Wild West Days are over - it seems there is more diligence in article approvals these days (so I won't take too much offense at accusations of "whataboutism" either since that's not what I was saying at all). This is clearly an improvement. What I'm suggesting is that a further improvement (and we all want to constantly be improving, don't we?) would be for reviewers to actually have at least some level of awareness in the subject matter they review. And further that there be more than one voice in the review process. That would be a way to cut out bias on all sides. And of course, the inevitable human error (I'm sure regular Wikipedia editors are guilty of that from time-to-time). I will endeavor to update the submission with additional sources when I have the time. Your fellow volunteer (and human being), Lukevdl (talk) 20:17, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Lukevdl: I encourage you to improve and re-submit your draft. But when you claim "anybody who knows of them already knows them. There's no need to say more than their name if they're referring to their work or an event of theirs. They're that important" but the cited sources don't assert that, I wonder how else we would describe your belief about their notability as opposed to what WP:N says. I apologize if what I said came across as a personal attack. Our notability criteria are often very specific in what needs to be met, and you seem to claim that you know the subject is notable and surely someone in the field would ascribe to your same belief. This is the benefit of AfC reviewers that don't know the subject because they don't have the unexplained common belief without evidence. Please correct me if I'm mis-characterizing your position. Perhaps you stumbled into this discussion without appreciating the intricacies that editors like me would point out. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:27, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request you Republish -Paracommando Qualification (Belgium Armed Forces)

I am unable to Find a Duplicate for Paracommando Qualification (Belgium Armed Forces), So there is no reason for you Nathan2055 to remove my work from Wikipedia, yes I admit I initially did not cite things as per the standards required by Wikipedia, But subsequently this was completed and was Published and was on Wikipedia for 5 Weeks or so and then it was removed, Considering this was my second Draft and the most detailed and Largest to date at that time, I think you could have at least have cut me a bit of slack,

Can you please reinstate Paracommando Qualification (Belgium Armed Forces) as it gave the reader of Wikipedia references and a understanding to specialist training carried out by members of the Belgium Armed Forces that is accurate, detailed, supported by 8 references and is balanced.

No. Sometimes this happens that someone wants to advertise here, creating articles that get deleted.

User:Chennai Passangai - No. First, are you Seeram Sambasiva Rao? Second, are you working for Seeram Sambasiva Rao? Third, post-nominals should not be used in article titles. Fourth, the subject does not satisfy general notability or political notability.

Note to Reviewer

It appears that you accepted a draft that didn't satisfy the MOS as to article title standards because it included unnecessary post-nominals. Although this wasn't the case here, unnecessary post-nominals or qualifiers are often a sign that the submitter is gaming the names of titles.
