Speedy deletion of Summer Bank Holiday

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Macy 20:31, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Avinu Malkeinu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Yemenite (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Resolution: The consensus was ultimately to keep the article without prejudice to merging with the parent company article (Grupo Posadas), though I believe they should be kept separate, and have so far, in fact, remained separate. Larry Grossman (talk) 19:55, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

90025 listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect 90025. Since you had some involvement with the 90025 redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). MSJapan (talk) 15:46, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of High contracting party

The article High contracting party has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced, orphaned (and as to that, undefined) dicdef.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Fiesta Inn (disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Fiesta Inn (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
• disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Cindy(talk to me) 05:51, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Resolution: The disambiguation article was deleted. I had felt it was important to have it since people were confusing the Fiesta Inn in Arizona with the unrelated Fiesta Inn chain in Mexico, but apparently since there is no Wikipedia article on the also-significant Fiesta Inn in Arizona, a disambiguation page is not permitted. One of these days, I hope someone will have the time and inclination to create the Fiesta Inn (Arizona) article, in which case the disambiguation page could perhaps be resurrected.

Speedy deletion nomination of 2013-14 flu season

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 2013-14 flu season requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. JMHamo (talk) 15:34, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

This has been resolved now. Larry Grossman (talk) 17:31, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Larry. I see you created this article in March 2014, calling it the "2013–14 flu season" Exactly from when to when does a flu season go? Secondly, you aware that the wolrd is divied in two hemispheres, each with its own "flu season". Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 11:46, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Oh, wow - good question and point! I will look into this this weekend - my hemisphere ; ) - and resolve these issues.

Ernestine Ygnacio-De Soto moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Ernestine Ygnacio-De Soto, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

AfC notification: Draft:Ernestine Ygnacio-De Soto has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Ernestine Ygnacio-De Soto. Thanks! MurielMary (talk) 10:17, 23 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks so much, Muriel. I feel that Ygnacio-De Soto is truly notable as the daughter of the last fluent speaker of, I believe, any Chumashan language - an entire language family. She still remembers and can sing songs from that language and is therefore a living link to that otherwise extinct language family, and she is prominently featured on a U.S. National Park service's web page about the Chumashan native americans. The draft article with your help has I believe 6 sites to reliable sources independent of the subject, including book published in conjunction with the Santa Barbara Museum of Anthropology with an ISBN number that she illustrated, a documentary film that features her and 5 other generations of her family members, some of whom knew the famous "lone woman of San Nicholas Island" and she relates invaluable oral history about her that would otherwise have been lost. After you added a reliable and independent citation and I added one as well, it seemed to me to be very well-sourced, yet it was rejected for republication. After adding some more to the article I believe it to be even better sourced and interesting to readers who are interested in powerful indigenous women and in preserving the few traces we have of the indigenous language families that we are losing, which are key puzzles in understanding humanity, human culture, and language as a whole, and I believe that if the article is published that other editors will add to it and this piece of the puzzle of humanity will be preserved here on Wikipedia and cross-linked for the context that reveals her true importance. The re-review has not yet been done, so If you happen to have a chance to take another look at the article and offer me any additional suggestions or find something else to add to it that might give it a greater chance of a favorable re-review, I would be most grateful. ...and in any event, thank you so much for the work you have done already! I am confident that with collaborative effort we can get this article published. If anything, my faults as a Wikipedia editor have been the only thing hampering the publication, so I will continue to work on this article, as well. Warm regards from Southern California and hoping you are staying safe. Larry Grossman (talk) 04:30, 30 April 2020 (UTC)Larry Grossman

Proposed deletion of Dah Hanu

The article Dah Hanu has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

There are now two different entries on the twin villages of Dah and Hanu, Ladakh in Ladakh, as well as a third article on Aryan Valley, making a total of four articles on these two Ladakhi villages. That renders this article superfluous, hence I propose its deletion.
