Deprodding of Becky Bereswill
I have removed the tag from Becky Bereswill, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add back to the page. Instead, feel free to list it at Articles for deletion. Thanks!

I'll also add, as I said to you here for the first time on April 20, that failing NSKATE alone (or most subject-specific guidelines) is not a sufficient reason for deletion if there is significant coverage in reliable sources to suggest that a subject passes WP:GNG/WP:BASIC.

 * She won the 2008 JGP Final; she should never have been nominated for deletion. Thank you for catching that for me! Bgsu98   (Talk)  21:52, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Bgsu98. Thank you for your work on 2015 Turkish Figure Skating Championships. Another editor, Voorts, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

 * , I am not familiar with tagging redirects. Do you have any suggestions? Bgsu98   (Talk)  01:48, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I recommend reading REDCAT and familiarizing yourself with the redirect categories (WP:TMR). I use User:Eejit43/scripts/redirect-helper to make the work of tagging easier. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Are you doing WP:BEFORE searches?
Hi again, I notice your rate of deletion nominations hasn't slowed down and your rationales continue to be just "fails WP:NSKATE". Yesterday you added 14 AfDs and 4 more PRODs to an article alerts page I check, and at least one of the articles nominated pretty clearly passes GNG. It's hard to trust that you've done your diligence searching for sources as required by WP:BEFORE, especially for subjects where coverage would be expected in other languages, when you're asking to delete more than ten articles a day for more than a week, and your response to me above indicates that you may still see NSKATE as the end all vs GNG which it is not. Please slow down and refresh yourself on BEFORE and perhaps the notability guidelines in general. Hameltion (talk &#124; contribs) 01:55, 3 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Are you doing WP:BEFORE searches? I sure am. Thanks for asking. Bgsu98   (Talk)  02:01, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * You've recently been issuing these prods in many cases at the rate of 1 per minute. I'm not sure how much of a WP:BEFORE search can be accomplished at this pace. Remember that if these subjects meet WP:GNG (requiring a search in reliable sources) but not WP:NSKATE (requiring a review of competitions), they're notable and should not be deleted. ~Kvng (talk) 16:25, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I guess we disagree with what qualifies as “significant coverage”. Bgsu98   (Talk)  16:30, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, that can be subjective and thus often requires discussion at AfD. If there is coverage in multiple reliable sources, it's not an uncontroversial deletion IMO and should go to AfD, not prod. ~Kvng (talk) 16:39, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with that and will leave it to the community to decide whether they merit being kept or deleted. Bgsu98   (Talk)  16:40, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Please be careful about what you prod in the first place. 1 per minute is not careful IMO. You can't rely solely on me to catch your mistakes. I'm not sure how many incorrectly deleted articles the community is willing to tolerate in service of this cleanup effort. To be safe, I personally would rather we leave this stuff alone. I know that's not how everyone sees it. ~Kvng (talk) 16:49, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Please for the love of all that is holy
Bundle your AfD nominations. The page is unusable with that many of the exact same entry.

Kingsmasher678 (talk) 02:52, 10 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Kingsmasher678, I apologize; there will be no more AFDs in the near future. Bgsu98   (Talk)  04:32, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Just adding a to this even though you replied; 50 AFDs in one day - this is considered disruptive editing. Some of them may be kept very fast. That being said, it was right of you to take a critical look at figure skating pages. Mind the volume though Geschichte (talk) 07:12, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Thirding this feedback so there is a sense of community behind it. I follow the Women in Red article alerts, and even that curated selection is overwhelmed by your nominations. I recommend that in some distant future scenario to either bundle them or spread them out across days—just nominate a couple in a single day or something.

Yuna Kim A-class assessment
Hey Artemisialufkin, would you mind assessing this bio? I'd appreciate it if you did, here's the link: WikiProject Figure Skating/Assessment/Yuna Kim. Best, Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 17:42, 14 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Figureskatingfan, did you mean to post this on my page? Bgsu98   (Talk)  17:51, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yah sorry, that's what I get for doing two things at the same time. My apologies, I cut and pasted from Artemisia's talk page without changing the address. My bad. Yes, I was asking you to assess Kim's bio. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 18:36, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Category:Denis Ten Memorial Challenge templates
Hello, Bgsu98,

Regarding the categories you tagged, categories can't be deleted until they are emptied. Otherwise they leave red link categories which are not permitted. Please do that first before tagging a category for deletion. This is part of the CFD process. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:26, 4 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the information; I did not mean to make anything difficult. Bgsu98   (Talk)  02:28, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Re: Apology
Bgsu98,

Thank you for the apology! (Though you forgot an edit summary...) It takes a level of kindness to apologize to someone after snapping at them for unrelated reasons, so I commend you for that. Happy editing!

Merano Ice Trophy Event
@Bgsu98Dear Friend, my name is Ekaterina I’m the organiser of the event Merano Ice Trophy Memorial Martina Barricelli. I had no idea that our event has a Wikipedia as I found it yesterday. I appreciate you giving the attention to our event but we have nothing to do with Merano Cup so could you please let me correct the page or maybe you could just delete the results of Merano Cup and the external link of Ice Club Merano because this is not us. This competition is dedicated to our colleague that have past away so this event is very personal to us and we would not like it to be confused with Merano Cup which doesn’t exist for years. I’ve already sent an email to Wikipedia and they told me that this is a conflict of interest. Thank you for understanding. You can check my name in the event’s announcement so you can trust that I’m the real organiser. Ekaterina Ivleva (talk) 13:45, 23 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Ekaterina Ivleva, it looks like the results up through 2017 are for the Merano Cup, and since 2022 are for the Merano Ice Trophy. Are you telling me that these are two separate, unrelated events? Bgsu98   (Talk)  13:52, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That’s why we called our event Merano Ice Trophy Memorial Martina Barricelli so it’s different from Merano Cup Ekaterina Ivleva (talk) 14:01, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your quick answer. Yes exactly ! Merano Cup was organised for years in November, we are organising our event after the Europeans and before the Worlds. Next season we will have our event 2 weeks before the junior worlds. We are ASM skating club and Merano Cup was organised by Ice Club Merano and they are not existing since 2019. Ekaterina Ivleva (talk) 13:57, 23 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Okay, I will return the article to the original name Merano Cup, and then spin off Merano Ice Trophy as a separate article with the results from the last two years. Bgsu98   (Talk)  14:24, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for your effort and for your passion for our sport ! Ekaterina Ivleva (talk) 14:27, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * If you have any links for any news articles, etc. regarding the Merano Ice Trophy, please let me know. Bgsu98   (Talk)  14:30, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * All I have is in Italian, could be useful anyway ? Ekaterina Ivleva (talk) 14:36, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Si, io posso usarli. Bgsu98   (Talk)  14:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Perfetto ! Nei prossimi giorni mando tutto ! Grazie ! Ekaterina Ivleva (talk) 14:40, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Edits on Amazing Race Canada 10
Please don’t revert editors changes without consulting first. If you fail to follow this Wikipedia already knows and they will be talking to you. If you have a problem, reply to this message. Jd101991 (talk) 00:13, 9 July 2024 (UTC)


 * What in fuck’s name does that even mean? Who is “they” and why will they be “talking to” me? That greater than/less than icon you keep trying to use is wholly inappropriate as it has been used to represent the Yield on the results tables of previous seasons. User:Xoruz found an appropriate icon that actually looks like an A. He is very good at this, by the way; so I would follow his lead. You have been reverted by two different editors now (Xoruz and myself); any further attempts by you to revert to that < will constitute edit warring. Bgsu98   (Talk)  00:46, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * So since you reverted it I’ll give Wikipedia the go ahead because I sent an message and they responded and they will talk with you. Jd101991 (talk) 00:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * And you said he’s good at this??? He took all the info from my group and copied and pasted before I had the chance to. Jd101991 (talk) 00:51, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you go ahead and do that, champ. 😂😂😂 Bgsu98   (Talk)  00:53, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
