Proposed deletion of Chelsea house collapse


The article Chelsea house collapse has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Proposing under WP:SUSTAIN, this is unlikely to be a significant event in the history of Chelsea. It has garnered news coverage due to its location in the nation's capital, but there were no injuries or fatalities and the houses are not listed. Numerous houses are destroyed and collapse due to accidents and gas explosions in the UK every year. No Swan So Fine (talk) 03:26, 4 November 2020 (UTC)"

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.

Mark WikiProject Linux as inactive?
Hi! I was directed to your talk page by the participants list on  WikiProject Linux. I've started a discussion whether we can keep it running, or mark it as inactive.–  Abuluntu  ( talk 06:01, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, sorry about the delay in replying - I meant to reply sooner, but I've been quite busy. Thanks for drawing my attention to the discussion. I think an effort should be made to keep it active or reactivate it, given the large area that the project covers and the areas it intersects with. Autarch (talk) 12:38, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your article on Joey Giambra
Autarch, I appreciate your Joey Giambra article. I started an article about him in January but it was removed for copyright reasons. I'm new to this but thought I had adequately attributed the links. I'm reticent to edit your article since I'm unclear of the guidelines and don't wish a repeat. Is there a way I can get a draft of my article to you? It fills in some blanks. Hope all is well in Ireland. Thanks again. MariaAnnelovesyou2MariaAnnelovesyou2 (talk) 03:58, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Murder of Jean-Pierre Renaud


A tag has been placed on Murder of Jean-Pierre Renaud 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 real person or group of people that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the. – S. Rich (talk) 01:24, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

John Derbyshire
What's your objection to my edits? "They did not appear constructive" isn't constructive. I explained in the edit summary why I made those two edits; if you disagree, you should say why.

The books' existence doesn't need a citation; they attest to their own existence. I suppose one could cite the cover pages of the books, but that would be silly. Or, for the contents of Prime Obsession one could cite the book's table of contents, but again that would be silly. Still, if you like I could do that.

As for the characterization of VDARE as a white nationalist site, as you will see on its WP page that is not an established fact, it's an opinion that some people hold, and others (including its publisher) disagree with. So this page, which merely mentions it in passing, should not state it as if it were a fact. Using the term on this page is just a gratuitous swipe.

I will wait for your reply before reapplying my edits. If you like we can discuss it on the talk page. -- 24.90.77.69 (talk) 05:35, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Regarding VDARE, reliable sources such as the SPLC describe it in those terms. Note that Wikipedia relies on secondary sources where possible, so VDARE cannot be used as a source that it isn't white nationalist. (The founder is quoted as disputing that his organisation is white nationalist, but he has also appeared with alt-right figures.) Regarding books, reviews or mentions by reliable sources should suffice. Autarch (talk) 15:35, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that doesn't make any sense. First, SPLC is not a reliable source.  It's a political actor with an agenda and smears anyone it disagrees with.  You can't cite its opinion as fact.  Second, VDARE's opinion of itself is just as authoritative as anyone else's, and must be given equal consideration.  That isn't a "primary source", in the sense that WP uses the term.


 * As for the books, they themselves are reliable sources for the fact that they exist and have the content their table of contents says they have. There's no need for them to be mentioned elsewhere.  -- 24.90.77.69 (talk) 04:50, 17 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Regarding SPLC, this discussion has happened before in WP:RSN, such as this one. If the SPLC does not suffice, then VDARE is linked to white nationalism here, here and here and to white supremacy here. Autarch (talk) 00:20, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Looking at WP:RSN SPLC is "considered generally reliable on topics related to hate groups and extremism in the United States". It is qualified via "As an advocacy group, the SPLC is a biased and opinionated source. The organization's views, especially when labeling hate groups, should be attributed per WP:RSOPINION. Take care to ensure that content from the SPLC constitutes due weight in the article and conforms to the biographies of living persons policy." Using other WP:RS, such as the ones I cited above, should cover that in general.Autarch (talk) 13:39, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Quinn Industrial Holdings and Mannok
I was looking for coverage of the Kevin Lunney kidnap case, found your article Kidnapping of Kevin Lunney, and was surprised to find the "Intimidation campaign" section at Mannok didn't link to the article or even mention the case. Eventually I discovered you'd written a new Quinn Industrial Holdings article in 2019, but it's the same company; they've just gone through several name changes. The Mannok article was started in 2007 at Quinn Group Limited; it appears to have been edited promotionally, and it doesn't lay out the history, yours is in many ways better, but it's the same company as shown by sources including (cited as a bare link at Mannok), and this BBC source on the sentences handed down a few days ago also gives Mannok as the new name of what was Quinn Industrial Holdings at the time of the kidnapping:. I tried clicking on the URL in the infobox at Quinn Industrial Holdings in case it was a division that the company had repurchased, but it asked to muck about with my browser. So I'm sorry to say I've redirected Quinn Industrial Holdings to Mannok. You might want to overwrite some of it with text from the history section of your article, adding the latest name change. Yngvadottir (talk) 11:00, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads-up, I'll get on to updating the Mannok article to include the material. Autarch (talk) 21:31, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
