I apologise if I appear to be stalking you. I'm not, but can't help but tidying up minor formatting issues when I see them. Well done on your photo uploads and the important Goldsworthy article in particular. It was on my to-do list for ages. If you need any help or advice, ask me or drop a line at WT:WA&mdash;the crew that watch that page are a friendly bunch and won't bite. I hope you'll stay around&mdash;there's heaps to do. –Moondyne 14:52, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Leslie Arthur Schubert


A tag has been placed on Leslie Arthur Schubert 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 that 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.

George Stanford Cowcher moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, George Stanford Cowcher, does not have enough sources and citations 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.

Please delete the article. The spelling of the name is incorrect

Hamelin Station Reserve
this edit is contrary to MOS:BOLDLINKAVOID. I was going to revert it, and/or move the link to somewhere else in the article, but then I realised there's a more serious problem than that. Per MOS:FIRST, Hamelin Station Reserve should start  something like "Hamelin Station Reserve is a ... reserve..." and probably somewhere after that say "It was once Hamelin Station ...".

But is there enough material for two separate articles? Maybe they should be merged. Mitch Ames (talk) 11:38, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Hamelin Station I believe is still listed as a Australian Pastoral lease. See https://researchlibrary.agric.wa.gov.au/gis_maps/8/ List_of_pastoral_leases_in_Western_AustraliaI am not aware that it has reverted to crown land, or a crown reserve yet. There are considerable natural values flora, fauna etc yet to be described and referenced in either article. Also there is the proximity of the historic Hamelin Pool Telegraph Station and Post office which is called Hamelin Pool or Boolgoorda and often confused with Hamelin Station. As Hamelin station Reserve is an unofficial and incorrect land tenure description, maybe the article should be combined. I do believe the Hamelin Pool Telegraph Station (Boolgorda) warrants a separate article as it has little connection to Hamelin a station other than geographic proximity and the stromatolites nearby are a major feature of the Hamelin Pool Marine Nature Reserve. I do not know how to amalgamate articles.
 * how to amalgamate articles — See WP:MERGE. I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable on the topic to know whether two articles are justified or a merge is appropriate (although it is clear that something needs to be done), but I can help with the editing and MOS issues either way. It might be prudent to raise a more general discussion before trying to merge, per WP:MERGEPROP.
