Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. 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  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.

Proposed deletion of Rebekah Palmer


The article Rebekah Palmer has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * no indication of notability (see WP:AUTHOR)

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  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  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Speedy deletion nomination of Charlotte Thornton
A tag has been placed on Charlotte Thornton 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  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.

David Angell
Hi. Please do not remove valid citation tags from articles, unless you can provide the citation needed, or can argue why the material does not require one, as you did with this edit to David Angell. Wikipedia requires that material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here. Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 00:02, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Help request
Hi there, I need some help; I want to create an article for Heathcote Studios Theatrical Society in Ferrymead Heritage Park, which I am a member of. Is that okay? Does it count as notable? I've made some editing mistakes in the past, but since I've been an admin on another wiki, and I know what edits are right and what are wrong. I really don't want to get banned for creating the Heathcote Studios article, so I thought I'd ask if it's okay! Thanks! Bakerychaz (talk) 03:40, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Start by reading the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. In brief, as you have a conflict of interest, don't post an article directly, but use WP:Articles for creation so that it can be checked by an uninvolved user. A good way to do that is to click on Help:Userspace draft and fill in the title; that will make a draft page for you to work on, with a link to submit it when ready.


 * Before you put a lot of effort in, think hard about Notability. I don't know about your society, but is not very likely that a local theatrical society will met the notability requirement of showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See WP:Notability (summary) - routine local press notices of performances are unlikely to be sufficient.


 * Read WP:Your first article and WP:Writing better articles. Take care not to write in a promotional tone - remember that you are not writing for the society, you are writing for Wikipedia about the society, from outside.


 * Good luck with it! JohnCD (talk) 09:40, 18 October 2013 (UTC)

Stan Lee
Hi. I reverted your edit to Stan Lee because it was unsourced. You did not include a citation of a source for the part you added, nor does the citation for his appearance in that film mention it. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation. If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks.

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics.  Schwede 66  09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
