Speedy deletion nomination of Bertha von Meduna


Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as Bertha von Meduna, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

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.

 * Speedy deletion contested. It is a well-sourced article about a notable person / historic figure. The speedy deletion notice makes no sense and harms the integrity of the author in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Meduna.Wiki (talk) 11:21, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Close connection with the topics you're editing?
Hi Meduna.Wiki and thanks for editing Wikipedia. I'm a WP:NPP and came across an article you created recently, Bertha von Meduna. I noticed that your username also includes the word "Meduna", which made me curious about a possible connection. When I looked at your December 2023 contribution history, I noticed that several of the articles you've been creating/editing also contain that word. Note, it is okay to write about long-dead family members(!) ... as long as you're adhering to Wikipedia's core policies regarding WP:N, WP:RS, WP:V, WP:NPOV and, WP:COI. Would you kindly address the potential close connection? It's quite possible that your username and the subjects you are editing have no connection. For the sake of transparency, it's important to clarify the confusion. Thank you, and happy holidays. Rosiestep (talk) 19:36, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi @Rosiestep, thank you for raising this and giving me an opportunity to clarify! While I am still very new to Wikipedia, I did try to research to the best of my abilities in order to only post content that strictly adheres to Wikipedia's policies, in particular WP:COI, which I understand is your main point of inquiry here.
 * My last name is "Meduna" and a while ago I embarked on researching the origins and different family histories of the surname, which ultimately led me to summarize some existing literature in the Wikipedia articles you listed to further the interests of the encyclopedia (hence also the username).
 * The noable persons in your list all bear that surname but of course none of them relate in any other way neither to myself or my family (none of them in a direct ancestral relationship - so even if, as you clarified, it is okay to write about long-dead family members, I would not consider that to be the case) - nor, of course, friends, clients, employers, or my financial and other relationships.
 * Long story short, my contributions have been driven by the interest to share notable (WP:N) information about the surname from a neutral point of view (WP:NPOV), using reliable (WP:RS) and verifiable (WP:V) sources.
 * If there is need for any additional clarity or if you have further guidance that can help me to improve my contributions in line with Wikipedia policies and standards, do not hesitate to follow up!
 * Many thanks,
