Link for AfD[edit]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Esoterica (black metal band) is the link for the article. I'm not an expert on that genre of music, so if there's something I missed and it is notable, please point it out. Thanks. Hog Farm (talk) 16:36, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ernest Grant (nurse)[edit]

Hello Bigmacthealmanac,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Ernest Grant (nurse) for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

February 2021[edit]

Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to The Masque of the Red Death have been removed because you cited the information you added to another Wikipedia article or an external wiki. As discussed at WP:CIRCULAR and WP:SPS, Wikipedia and other wikis should not be used in citations because they are not considered reliable sources. You are welcome to re-add the information using a different reference, perhaps from the article you originally linked to. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 03:55, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Skynd (band) moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Skynd (band), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). 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. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
