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.

Categories in templates
I see from your history some 3-4 years ago that you moved through a string of templates to remove WP:TEMPLATECAT categories. Did you happen to have a systematic way to identify those or did you just bump into them? --Izno (talk) 21:46, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Changing page name
Hi! Recently you have changed the page name of FC Uttarbanga. You are saying that there is no source where the 'Uttar Bongo'' spelling can be found. But please look at the club logo. There is also a source with this logo. You can find the official spelling in club logo & it is 'Uttar Bongo''. The club is well-known as 'Uttarbanga' for pronouncing reason. But the official name is FC Uttar Bongo. Hope you will understand & change the page name to FC Uttar Bongo. Thanks. Diptadg17 (talk) 04:24, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
 * It has now been moved to the apparently incorrect FC Uttor Bongo, just to complicate matters (and can't be moved back simply (eg by me), as the FC Uttar Bongo redirect has been changed automatically to match that mistake. The logo looks convincing, and a couple of the refs support this too, so perhaps you could move it back to FC Uttar Bongo.  Pam  D  08:13, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Abe Piasek
Hi -- I'm new to Wikipedia and am not sure where to post this, but since you edited the page, I thought I'd share it with you (I also put it in a talk page about Abe -- at least I think that's what I did)

With respect, I think Abe Piasek is a notable figure -- I intended to put his entry in Holocaust Survivors, which is where he's linked -- not as a notable person in NC. A criticism is that this entry is: "Biography, written like a memorial obituary, of a person whose only apparent notability claim is having been a speaker at local high schools in a single city." This is not correct -- Abe has spoken at cities and military bases throughout NC. He also spoke to a few schools in Florida before he moved to NC. "This is referenced about 50 per cent to primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, like directory entries and YouTube clips and content on the self-published websites of organizations he was directly affiliated with, and about 50 per cent to purely local media coverage in his hometown media market." His coverage is mainly in local media, but there was also an article from People Magazine about how he met with one of his liberators. "There's nothing "inherently" notable about speaking to youth to discuss your life experiences or accompanying them on a field trip, and the amount of sourcing shown here is not sufficient to make him more notable than the thousands going on millions of other people in the world who've done the same things." Again, with respect, there are fewer than 100,000 Holocaust survivors left (and that's using a broad definition of Holocaust survivor -- if you limit it to people who actually spent time in slave labor camps or concentration camps, you're probably under 25,000 people worldwide). The courage it took for him to tell his story in a cattle car when most survivors will not go near that cattle car makes him extraordinary. I'll add more sources and we'll see what other folks think. --GoldbergHistory (talk) 15:30, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

The Idler hatnote
Thanks for your work on The Idler (Canadian magazine). Regarding the removal of the hatnote (diff), I took at look at WP:HAT and found the specific improper use note at WP:NOTAMB. Thanks for that, too, I'm not sure I was aware it. My concern is that The Idler (disambiguation) lists three other magazines/periodicals named The Idler. None of them are Canadian, so you're right about it being fully disambiguated from them, but I still thought it might be useful to provide the link to the DAB page if the reader might be interested in those. What do you think? Would that be more of a See also situation? – Reidgreg (talk) 16:18, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

AfD Backun Musical Services
Today is the last day of the discussion, time for you to make a final statement and acknowledge the other contributions, in particular that of Michael Bednarek, taking into account the significant change in sources and let us know if you still maintain your request for deletion (and why).--Gisel (talk) 08:43, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Rani Hazarika
This article was moved twice from draft space to article space, originally by a now-blocked user, and once by a relatively new editor. It was also moved by you to draft space. It doesn't appear to me to satisfy any of the musical notability criteria. I consider move-warring to be very undesirable, and am ready to take it to AFD rather than move-warring it. Please advise me as to whether it is still not ready for article space. If it isn't ready for article space and should be in draft space, the AFD can draftify it.

A heads-up
You nominated Desmond Cole for deletion. Well you nominated the article about Rachel Giese for deletion, in 2017, and then drafted a new version 18 months later.

I hadn't agreed with the deletion of Desmond Cole, and had a google news alert on him, and had been considering contacting you, and discussing with you whether your original concerns had been satisfied. I thought we might agree that one of us should recreate the article.

That's moot. A third party recreated the article a couple of days ago. Geo Swan (talk) 16:37, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
