Speedy deletion nomination of Moncef Ouahibi


A tag has been placed on Moncef Ouahibi 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 real person or group of people, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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. Siddiqsazzad001      03:31, 28 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello Larapsodia -- I've declined both these deletion requests but you need to make sure you demonstrate notability, with references, immediately, especially with articles about living people. Creating sets of microstubs in mainspace and then improving them later causes problems for the people who have to check new articles for suitability for inclusion in the encyclopedia. You can always work on articles in draftspace or your own userspace until you are ready to publish them if that's easier. ETA: Note you can't use other language Wikipedia articles as sources; they are not considered reliable -- though linking them via the other languages gadget is always helpful.

Teeny tiny stub articles
Please could I ask you take the time to create articles which have some depth to them? Micro-stubs like the one on Amel Moussa need expanding, and simply create problems for new page reviewers when they are so short. Might I suggest you use your sandbox in future to draft an article that is worthy of an encyclopaedia? It only needs a few more lines to assert reasons for notability. You might wish to read this. Regards from the UK. Nick Moyes (talk) 08:13, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

@Nick Moyes Thank you Nick, and sorry about that! I'm trying to do about a dozen new articles (Tunisian authors) using a list of those covered by an anthology. I thought that making a minimal page for each and then going back and filling them back in was the most efficient way of doing that, but I now see that it's not the preferred way. So I'll make sure to fill in more notability info for the new articles. Thanks again! Larapsodia (talk) 16:44, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your understanding. Rereading my post, I realise I did sound a little blunt, for which I must apologise. Keep up the good work! Nick Moyes (talk) 21:46, 28 April 2018 (UTC)

Your Teahouse question
It has been more than a month since you asked a question about translating, and no one answered. Have you found the help you needed? I have no idea how to answer myself.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  21:50, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

@Vchimpanzee No, I didn't get an answer, so I assumed it wasn't considered a conflict of interest edit. Karen McNeil (talk) 20:47, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Re: Samir Ayadi
Thank you for your article. Is there any way to include more biographical information regarding this person? Perhaps, some of his influences or details on his work? It seems like a good start to an article, but I think it can generally be expanded to help introduce readers to a figure they may not know. Thanks! If you need further information or guidance, feel free to leave me a message. Snickers2686 (talk) 21:32, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Noura Bensaad moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Noura Bensaad, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) For writers to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, they need to satisfy the criteria laid out at WP:NAUTHOR. That basically means multiple in-depth reviews of her work at the least, and preferably some secondary coverage of the author as a person. If these cannot be found, then she may not be suitable for a Wikipedia article - sorry :/

When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the confirms on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. Elmidae (talk · contribs) 09:31, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:OldeTown.jpg


The file File:OldeTown.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unused (see WP:NOTWEBHOST), unclear purpose"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Your draft article, Draft:Noura Bensaad


Hello, Karen McNeil. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Noura Bensaad".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the, , or  code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Dolotta (talk) 14:38, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Tunisian writers
Good to see you are covering Tunisian writers. This month you should be making an effort to cover more women. Keep up the good work.--Ipigott (talk) 16:20, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Amira Charfeddine
When you move a draft to be an article, please tidy it up as I am about to do on your behalf. Fiddle  Faddle  09:23, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Had this remained as a draft I would have given it a similar review to the deletion discussion rationale. My choices were to move it back to Draft: space where you would be likely to be the sole editor, or to nominate for a full deletion discussion where the strong probability is that the notional deadline to save it will spur you and other editors to edit it to save it assuming the lady passes WP:NAUTHOR.
 * As you can see, I chose the latter route.
 * In a deletion discussion please do not fall into the trap of making impassioned pleas for retention. Find extra material for the article that shows that she has a place here, and then make your policy based and brief argument for retention. Do not rush in, but gather your ammunition wisely  Fiddle   Faddle  09:40, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there once again, Karen McNeil, and welcome to Women in Red. With your systematic strategy for covering Tunisian writers, it looks as if you'll be a really useful member of the project. I've updated List of Tunisian women writers with the ones you have already written about (as well as several others who had not been included). In addition to the long list of names on your user page, you might discover some others worth writing about on out Tunisian women redlist. If you haven't already done so, you might like to look through our Primer for creating women's biographies. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 11:45, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

File:Wild fadhila Cherfeddine ar.jpg
I'm not sure that the use of this in the article on the book's author is allowed as "fair use": my understanding is that it has to be an article about the book, ie article title = book title, for the book cover to be used. But let's wait and see. Good luck. Pam D  17:22, 16 March 2021 (UTC)


 * And, out of curiosity, could you explain the title in the article? Is "Fadhila" a personal name or something else? Pam  D  17:31, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Wild fadhila Cherfeddine ar.jpg


The file File:Wild fadhila Cherfeddine ar.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Amira Charfeddine. Non-free book cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about books, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular book cover itself anywhere in the section where it's being used; so, there's really no justification for a non-free image of it."
