Speedy deletion of Findie
A tag has been placed on Findie 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 company or corporation, 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 companies and corporations.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of Findie
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Findie, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Non notable association and web content.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Dogah. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Dogah~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:29, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

WP:NCIH
In regards to non-English names and their uses in the NHL, please read WP:NCIH and take up your cause at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (ice hockey). In short the NHL uses the English alphabet so on NHL pages so do we. Otherwise there would also be lots of Cyrillic names such as Александр Овечкин. Thank you, Yosemiter (talk) 15:46, 8 October 2017 (UTC)


 * There is no cause to be taken up, because 1) Wikipedia:NCIH talks about diacritics, but the name Kekäläinen does not have any, since Finnish ä is an independent letter and not the letter a with diacritics, 2) Wikipedia:NCIH talks about player names, but Kekäläinen is not a player but a general manager. "Otherwise there would also be lots of Cyrillic names such as Александр Овечкин." No, there would not be. Cyrillic script is a totally different writing system, and that is why Ovechkin's name is transliterated. Both English and Finnish use the Latin script. --Dogah (talk) 16:05, 8 October 2017 (UTC)


 * NCIH implies personnel involved with the league as well, but you are correct that it does explicitly only mention players. Possibly another good reason to bring it up at the talk page there. And by Cyrillic, I was merely pointing out that by using a different alphabet for one person, it sets a precedent to use it everywhere (since Cyrillic is both a different script and a different alphabet). But if you want a hard reason why, here is his bio page on the NHL site, note the use of a instead of ä. Since this is universal throughout the NHL, the NHL pages use only the English alphabet.
