Hello, Arattaman, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Al-Farabi's origin, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Al-Farabi's origin

A tag has been placed on Al-Farabi's origin 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 person or group of people, 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 biographies. 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.

Al-Farabi article fork

As I replied to the IP who asked the same question, I redirected Al-Farabi's origin because it duplicated an article which already existed. There was no clear reason to move that information to a separate article and not include it in Al-Farabi's. After looking at Talk:Al-Farabi, I am even more convinced that the new page was just an attempt to create a content fork. The issue of his origin should be addressed at the Al-Farabi article, and if—and only if—clear consensus is to split off his origin should the section be split. In that case, the entire section should split, as opposed to creating a new subsection. —C.Fred (talk) 22:58, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

• Also, please be careful editing the interwiki links. The title of the corresponding article on the Azeri Wikipedia is Əl-Fərabi, not Əl-Farabi. —C.Fred (talk) 15:28, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as on Talk:Turkic culture, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:56, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Turkiate society

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Turkiate society. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Turkiate society. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:14, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
