Proposed deletion of John Cooper (journalist)


The article John Cooper (journalist) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Cremastra (talk) 13:20, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Next Conservative party leadership election


The article Next Conservative party leadership election has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "If we don't even know what year it will be, WP:TOOSOON. Removing from template for now because it breaks on a highly visible page."

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.

Your contributed article, Shadow Cabinet of Anas Sarwar


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Shadow Cabinet of Anas Sarwar. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_Shadow_Cabinets_of_the_Scottish_Parliament. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_Shadow_Cabinets_of_the_Scottish_Parliament.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi Robert Birkett! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. JaggedHamster (talk) 22:57, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk page discussion that you are involved in
Hi, please see Talk:Scottish Socialist Youth (SSY) and you're welcome to add any thoughts you have there. Thanks. Skynxnex (talk) 22:36, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

GenderGP moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to GenderGP. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and Significant neutrality concerns. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Sideswipe9th (talk) 17:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

I see that you've already been warned for this. Let me be absolutely clear: almost no edits are minor, and none of the recent edits that you have marked as minor appear to be so. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 15:42, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at F1NN5TER, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
