Proposed deletion of Religious controversies


The article Religious controversies has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "no evidence of notability apart from the few individual incidents discussed"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing 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.

Cancellation of page due to inaccurate information
Hello Alan,

I am writing to you on this occasion, because I saw that you edited this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gianpiero_Fiorani

I leave you a request that, for terms of dissemination and maintenance, I consider important, because the page contains inaccurate information:

Dear Wikipedia Team, I request the removal of this Wikipedia page, since point 1 speaks of a negative episode that Mr. Fiorani experienced more than 17 years ago, an episode that has now been overcome, in which he was able to prove his innocence by being acquitted by the Italian justice system. I add 2 links where you can check what I say: https://www.blitzquotidiano.it/cronaca-italia/molise-usura-bancaria-gianpiero-fiorani-assolto-1234056/ https://www.primopianomolise.it/cronaca/giudiziaria/6309/usura-bancaria-assolto-fiorani/ Taking into account technological progress and respect for the constitutional rights of citizens, this request is made by appealing to the Right to be Forgotten (article 17 of the RGPD), which has long been recognized by European and Italian jurisprudence as “The right not to be exposed indefinitely to the subsequent damages that the repeated publication of a news item may cause to honor and reputation, unless, due to events that have occurred, the previous event becomes current and revives a new public interest in information.” In the case of Mr. Fiorani, what happened more than 17 years ago has not generated public interest again. Furthermore, Mr. Fiorani has proven his innocence in the Italian courts, for this reason, this request is also based on the Cartabia reform. The new Cartabia Reform (law 134/2021), approved on June 17, 2022, must be taken into consideration. Which has definitively provided for in article 1, paragraph 25 the right to de-index to citizens who have undergone a judicial proceeding and have obtained acquittal or to suspects who have obtained a decree of dismissal, a sentence of no place to proceed or of acquittal. Mr. Fiorani is not a public figure, it is disproportionate to create an entire Wikipedia page with only negative information. In addition, the two references that are named in the article are already deindexed by the original source, accepting our request for the Right to be Forgotten. It is an obsolete topic, due to the amount of time that has elapsed (more than 17 years) since the news emerged. It is important to remember that the presence of judicial news or this type of information on the Internet can represent an obstacle to the social reintegration of a person, and that the right to be forgotten should also be recognized for those who have been rehabilitated after a sentence, all the more so for a person who has proven his innocence. To finish, I would like to emphasize that, according to the Wikipedia classification, this page has low importance in the Financial Crime ranking. I remain at your disposal for any additional information and/or integration that you consider necessary for the acceptance of this request. Waiting for your response. Best regards, Nathalia Nathalia Rodríguez R (talk) 14:08, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank you
I just used the Merging article to merge for the first time and I saw that you were the one who originally made it (if I'm reading the view history right...). Thank you so much for creating it because it is a super helpful guide. Many people have worked on it and I don't have the time/energy/spoons to thank all of them so I picked the person who seemed to have done the first substantive work that allowed it to become what it is today.

Christchurch Wikipedia Meetups


Kia ora! For the first half of 2024 I'm the Aotearoa Wikipedian-at-Large, based in Christchurch and funded by a grant from Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand. As part of the project I'm running regular meetups in Tūranga where local Wikipedians can meet, chat, help each other out and collaborate on projects. I'll also be organising edit-a-thons, wikiblitzes, and training for new editors. The goal is to grow the editor community in Christchurch and convince local institutions that Wikipedia is worth taking seriously.

We're having an initlal coffee in Foundation Cafe on Sunday 18 February to talk about what Christchurch Wikipedians might like to do; come along if you're free, or drop me a line at if you have ideas or suggestions.


 * Initial meetup: Sunday 18 February, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga

We'll be holding a Christchurch meetup every 4 weeks, modelled on the successful Wellington monthly meetups that have been a big part of growing the Wikimedia community in Wellington and New Zealand. These will be both a coffee chat and a chance for collaborative work in the library's 4th floor workspace. The first two will be:


 * Sunday 17 March, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)
 * Sunday 14 April, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)

You can keep track of upcoming events at the Aotearoa Wikipedian at Large Event page, see monthly reports at This Month In GLAM (e.g. January 2024), and join the monthly Aotearoa online meetup. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk)
