Proposed deletion of Tadeusz Was


The article Tadeusz Was has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (biographies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back. Thank you. This proposed deletion was started by User:Piotrus

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.

Your contributed article, Edward Tennyson Reed (illustrator)


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Edward Tennyson Reed (illustrator). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Edward Tennyson Reed. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Edward Tennyson Reed. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:22, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

Why did you blank Gulich
Why did you blank the page Gulich? Unless you are planning on adding content there, the redirect should be restored. Elliot321 (talk &#124; contribs) 21:52, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

It prevents people from finding Gulich (an artist) by using his surname. I will find out how the page can provide an option to choose the two pages
 * I converted it to a disambiguation page, as there are a number of uses for the name. Spicy (talk) 23:41, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Gresley Rovers
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Gresley F.C. a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Gresley Rovers. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.
