Adding non-notable names
Hello. Your recent edit appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Very difficult where the person now deleted (Sarah Archer) appeared on tv's What's my Line for being unprecedented in a male only profession of professional wine tasting. Those were days of prejudice (pre-1950s to 1970s) long gone by, at least we hope so, and many of the forerunners will have disappeared into the unknown unless someone knows enough to wiki about them at length if they are disposed to (they have to be 80years plus!).

 * Again, please stop adding names to lists unless the individual has an article, or unequivocally meets WP:BIO notability criteria (e.g., an Olympic athlete who does not yet have an article). See WP:BIO for more information regarding notability criteria. OhNo itsJamie Talk 16:13, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Apart from journalistic activity why include Libby Purvis? Some work automatically achieves notoriety: acting, politicians, writing, because the people here are constantly publicised. Those who are respected in their own industries but don't make the tabloids seem to be ruled out. Old encyclopedias, like the National Biography (multi volume, have you enough space on your bookshelf?), are wonderful sources of relevant names to historical research because these individuals were entered on a different criteria, that of increasing knowlege of the reader? Perhaps the names that you have deleted need to be entered on a separate list, that of successful old alumni and not the all exclusive 'notable' definition. FiSt71 (talk) 16:31, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Taking a look at the Libby Purvis, you'll see that the WP:SIGCOV criteria of WP:BIO is met that she's received signficant coverage from several reliable sources, including the BBC and The Guardian. What's on my bookshelf is not relevant; the Wikipedia policies I've already linked to are relevant. OhNo itsJamie Talk 18:00, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Well yes, if you work for a national network & newspapers, you are going to, it's an industry that promotes its own. I realise Wikipedia now has its own rules as you keep telling me (I contributed when it started) but sometimes rules can act as sealed boxes. At least one of the entries you deleted is an acknowleged expert in their field but no, they didn't work for The Times, The Guardian, BBC. Rosalind Franklin wouldn't have made it under some of these rules. FiSt71 (talk) 15:23, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Rockland All Saints moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Rockland All Saints, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Not clear what referencing you want, there is no article as yet: none of the other entries at this early stage have citations/sources. The main page for Rocklands has Rocklands All Saints as a yet to exist link. I will be providing further sourced material for that link. FiSt71 (talk) 06:56, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The references was just one problem. The article didn't even state what Rockland All Saints was at the time that I sent it to draft; it easily could have been speedy deleted under criteria A1 for lacking context. All pages should include references to demonstrate importance and have references to verify that information. Older articles may not include references if they were created before sources were essentially required, but they can be deleted if challenged and sources cannot be found to demonstrate notability. Keep in mind that in general on Wikipedia, the existence of other similar pages or content may not indicate consensus and instead illustrate that there are other pages that also need to be addressed. —Ost (talk) 14:53, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, FiSt71, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Rockland All Saints, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Rockland All Saints. 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 for registered users, 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. Liz Read!
