Proposed deletion of Marie Jean Philip


The article Marie Jean Philip has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted 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 tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. red dog six (talk) 22:45, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Dead people
I notice you recently added the category to a couple of articles.

This is against Wikipedia guidelines: is a container category, and should never be added directly to an article. If the year of death is known to you, a more specific "{year} deaths" category should be added (as had already been done on the articles you edited); if it is not, then the category should be used.

I hope you find this information useful in future. — Paul A (talk) 02:10, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Oh, thanks! I didn't realize that was the case. Rue-chan (talk) 02:29, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of National Association of the Deaf (India)


A tag has been placed on National Association of the Deaf (India), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

Disambiguation link notification for July 12
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited CORAL (NGO), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Oaxaca, Mexico. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:03, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Saartjie Baartman
Did you discuss that page move with anyone before doing it? --John (talk) 21:57, 27 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I did not. I was wanting to move the "Hottentot Venus" page (and its redirects), because it had been up for a move for a while, and everyone seemed to agree on that. Reading the discussions, people were also trying to figure out which was her "correct" name, but they could not tell. So I looked to see which name was more frequently used in academic articles and I found it to be "Saartjie Baartman".

It's also the name used for the Dutch, Afrikaans, Arabic, and French wikipedia pages. Rue-chan (talk) 22:23, 27 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I would like to have seen discussion on this. Why not raise it at talk now? Maybe nobody cares, in which case fine. --John (talk) 22:34, 27 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh ok. How/where do I start a discussion? Should I finish updating the links or should I leave them alone? Rue-chan (talk) 22:39, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

Ted Supalla
Hi! I just wanted to give you a heads-up that your article on Ted Supalla really needs additional citations and sourcing and expansion as otherwise there is very little evidence of notability. I've found a biographical sketch for him on the Gallaudet University website, which I am currently adding in as an external link, but the article could stand to be expanded with more info on his work and why it is so significant and why he matters. Currently, looking at it, all it says is "deaf professor who co-wrote one book" which doesn't make him sound terribly significant in the wider scheme of things. Incidentally, I am also a deaf (I do not identify as "Deaf") Wikipedian. Mabalu (talk) 03:01, 26 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I can definitely expand it, the most important thing that I know of is there:

"the first work on the correlation between word-class and type of sign movement for American Sign Language." The paper "How many seats in a chair?: The derivation of nouns and verbs in American Sign Language" is utterly foundational. Aside from that though over 500 articles/books show up for him on google scholar, I just added some. Rue-chan (talk) 03:55, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Justine saade-sergent.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Justine saade-sergent.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Orphaned non-free image File:The-sound-world-logo.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:The-sound-world-logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:21, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Izrael Zachariah Deutsch


The article Izrael Zachariah Deutsch has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non notable under GNG; insufficient coverage in independent reliable sources"

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.

Move to where?
There isn't much more sources other than the autobiography about this individual that I am aware of. So I figured, ok I'll move it to the page about "eugenics against the deaf" in the section about ww2... I can't find any pages about any of that. These are huge topics. Are there no pages on these topics or did I miss something? Thanks, Rue-chan (talk) 03:21, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Rue-chan, there are articles that include this topic—see Nazi eugenics, Sterilization of deaf people in Nazi Germany, and Life unworthy of life. The last one doesn't mention the deaf, but they are included by the Nazis in that category. I nominated the page for deletion because I don't think that it could be profitably redirected to any of those, partly because Deutsch did not become a victim of the Nazis. That said, those three articles could certainly be improved if they interest you, and that would be of great benefit to the encyclopedia. Catrìona (talk) 03:39, 24 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the links and the quick reply. I've been looking for a page on the eugenic attempts at wiping out the deaf in general (over time/internationally), but these pages focus just on WW2 Germany. This Alexander_Graham_Bell mentions Bell's involvement, but it isn't reciprocated on the pages you link. Bell himself, but somehow not deafness has made it to this page... Eugenics_in_the_United_States. I guess I want to make a new article, and I'm double checking that there isn't one somewhere that I haven't been able to find. Viz. this is the kind of page, Adamorobe_Sign_Language (" the local chief instituted a policy prohibiting deaf people to marry other deaf"), that needs to link to the page I'm describing.

Ways to improve Samuel Thomas Greene
Hi, I'm Rosguill. Rue-chan, thanks for creating Samuel Thomas Greene!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The article needs additional footnotes and sources to verify claims. Additionally, the lead contains content not included elsewhere in the article (see MOS:LEAD for more information on lead style and formatting)

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Proposed Deletion of Action Deafness
I noticed you've done some work on Action Deafness. Just to let you know, I've nominated it for deletion. You can see the discussion at Articles for deletion/December 2018.CircleGirl (talk) 01:57, 12 December 2018 (UTC)

Template:Schools for the deaf
Hi! I just started Template:Schools for the deaf in the United States without realizing Template:Schools for the deaf already exists!

Anyhow I think Template:Schools for the deaf should have a worldwide focus, with Template:Schools for the deaf in the United States specializing in US entries. Also many of the schools are K-12 so a division of primary and secondary in my opinion is not as helpful.
