Speedy deletion nomination of Vernita Lee


A tag has been placed on Vernita Lee requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

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".

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I noticed that in this edit to Joseph Biden Sr., you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   19:27, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from David Still. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted.

Proposed deletion of Ian D. Cameron


The article Ian D. Cameron has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Fails WP:GNG."

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 article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:05, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

GFDL violation
Don't ever do this again. Copying and pasting another editor's draft into mainspace and then trying to erase the edit history of the draft is a considerable violation of the GFDL. BD2412 T 05:51, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

I'm afraid that I'm not entirely clear on the purpose of User:Ponydices/Sandbox/Dean Louton. Are you aware of our guideline on hoaxes? If you want to practice creative writing, there are more suitable projects than ours out there.  Angry Harpy   talk 12:46, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
