I Am Elizabeth Smart-related
Hi. I noticed that you added George Newbern's name to the I Am Elizabeth Smart page. I was wondering if you did that because you saw his name on the DVD websites or if you saw his name in the credits since I haven't been able to find Ed Smart's portrayer on the movie's Internet Movie Database page. I just want to know. --Rtkat3 (talk) 14:41, 12 May 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Oregon Federation of College Republicans


A tag has been placed on Oregon Federation of College Republicans 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 club, society, or group 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. 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. creffett (talk) 02:53, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

infobox
Could you fix 2020 Portland, Oregon mayoral election so the information for each candidate is grouped together in the infobox? I tried to sort it out a little but it was all over the place. It seems like you put that in in the first place. Also I changed the party affiliations to nonpartisan (it's a municipal election so there's no partisan labeling). 09:24, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

2024 Portland, Oregon mayoral election moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, 2024 Portland, Oregon mayoral election, 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.
