Schwarzer
Hi, Shirt, how are you? Thanks for your comment here, I wasn't aware of that. I had however already left a comment on the draft to the effect that he's surely notable by our standards – let's hope someone now cleans the draft up to the point where it could be accepted! Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:51, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Welcome
Hi, Shirt58!

Thanks for the welcome message, but I've been editing Wikipedia regularly for about 20 years, and deliberately have never opened a User account, partly for the reasons that B. Traven chose to remain anonymous.

Speedy deletion nomination of Vishal Bawa


A tag has been placed on Vishal Bawa, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:46, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

I do not understand your problem with this article, apart from its shortage of subtitles, which I have now addressed. Why is the lack of a pt.wikipedia article on the person relevant? Thanks. Roundtheworld (talk) 11:18, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
