Advice
Hello sir, I've create two articles, Sruthy Sithara, who is the winner of Miss Trans Global and the other is Heidi Saadiya, she is the first transgender journalist from Kerala, India. Hope these two passes WP:GNG. Some people move those to draft, the article is all ready for the main space. Kindly ask them to stop doing it and if they think the article is not ready or non notable take to afd. Thank you Imperfect Boy (talk) 15:21, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Please help
The admin user:Deb deleted my article directly from Mainspace without notifying. Kindly please help me with that.. see Imperfect Boy (talk) 16:11, 7 August 2022 (UTC)


 * What he did is not as er Wikipedia norms. If the subject is not notable, it should go through AFD. But the admin just deleted the article. What he/she did is unethical. Please help me.. Imperfect Boy (talk) 16:13, 7 August 2022 (UTC)


 * The admin did the same to Heidi Saadiya's article. Those article surely passes WP:GNG. Kindly please help. Imperfect Boy (talk) 16:23, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * There's not a lot I can do I'm afraid. Admins don't routinely undo each other's decisions. I personally wouldn't have deleted the Sruthy Sithara as her winning an award is enough for me for it to pass CSD, which has a lower threshold. The process is for you to take it to Deletion_review and raise it there for a discussion. Ged  UK  14:11, 8 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Ged UK, thank you so much for the reply. I've already raised a discussion there, please have a look at Deletion review/Log/2022 August 8. Thank You so much -Imperfect Boy (talk) 14:17, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Help needed urgently
Hi Ged UK,

Please, I urgently need your help. A Wikipedia page - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyinkansola_Alabi that I created and was edited by multiple Wikipedia users, and has decent history was moved to draft space by a Wikipedia autoconfirmed user named GPL3.

The user GPL3 initially tagged the page to be speedily deleted. You removed the tag and removed salt tag.

Apparently, the user GPL3 just wants the page to be deleted without any reason. He acted even when you, an Admin reversed his action. His action was not in good faith. I believe Wikipedia users are supposed to edit articles in good faith.

Please, kindly help to reverse GPL3's action on the Wikipedia page https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyinkansola_Alabi.

Thank you.

The user is GPL93 not GPL3.

I also noticed that GPL93 is a socket puppet of Praxidicae. Please, how do I file sock puppet investigation? Obialuju1478 (talk) 02:43, 13 August 2022 (UTC)


 * As suspected, this user is a sock and has been blocked. Ged  UK  08:32, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Article concern
You speedy deleted an article I created with sources, didn't even give me a chance to contest. AFD was several years ago. Rather disheartening, but please tell me what shall I do now. If I recreate the article, that's considered an edit war? I want the article I created with sources on that subject posted, but I don't know. What shall I do now? Bronoton (talk) 00:18, 23 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi there! Sorry about this, it's a painful process when your article gets deleted. You can raise it at Deletion review, or alternatively I can restore it for you in the Draft area where you can work on it and get it reviewed before bringing it back to the mainspace. With regard to this specifc article, there wasn't really any substantial improvement in terms of sources from the previous version, and the issues raised at the AfD were still valid in my opinion. As I said, you can raise it at deletion review if you want. Ged  UK  08:31, 23 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Forgive me. I'm rather ignorant and misinformed on Wiki procedures. Thank you for the reply. I had already went and did a deletion review. But if you could please send me the content/draft anyways, regardless of what happens, I appreciate it. Thank you. Bronoton (talk) 21:57, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
