Why was my page deleted?
This page had substantial andd growing information about a private school in New Mexico.. no violations or anything of the sort were there. Unacceptable removal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiEditorPublicGood999 (talk • contribs) 15:58, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Abacus 1997 DavidFosterWallace GirlwithCuriousHair FrontCover.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Abacus 1997 DavidFosterWallace GirlwithCuriousHair FrontCover.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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:23, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Omar Abas
Hi - you just deleted Omar Abas. We must have been looking at it at the same time - a quick Google check found this from the Beeb. It wasn't a great article, and I'm not sure the subject is really notable, but he certainly wasn't invented by the author of that article. Might be worth reinstating and advising the nominator to go to AfD? Girth Summit  (blether) 09:26, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Nomination of Audi Q9 for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Audi Q9 is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Audi Q1 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. A7V2 (talk) 04:15, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Don't welcome vandals
You recently welcomed, but if you see his only contribution it is clear they are here from promotional purposes. A. C. Santacruz &#8258; Please ping me! 09:27, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * . Did you read the actual welcome message (or just the header), A. C. Santacruz? It's a special message intended for just such cases. Bishonen &#124; tålk 09:41, 12 March 2022 (UTC).
 * , my bad! Apologies to are in order then. I assumed that their account was so clearly here for only spam promotion one would directly report it to WP:AIV (or block if admin, which I didn't realize Shirt is) and use the welcoming templates (such as welcomespam) for somewhat more constructive, if still promotional, edits than advertising their social media at the talk page of a Chinese basketball team. In any case, my sincere apologies to Shirt and I hope my previous message didn't read too passive aggressively :) I hope y'all enjoy the weekend. -- A. C. Santacruz &#8258; Please ping me! 10:10, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi A. C. Santacruz. Yes, I did use the Twinkle tool to welcome Zishant. That was immediately after I deleted their user talk page, arguably in violation of WP:DELETEOTHER, as I hadn't explained why it was an inappropriate use of Wikipedia to promote their YouTube channel. Pete AU aka Shirt58 (talk) 09:55, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
 * And I have now indeffed them as NOTHERE. Nice admins like Shirt welcome these kinds of users, in a warning sort of way, but I'm not nice. Bishonen &#124; tålk 10:15, 12 March 2022 (UTC).
 * , I think public relations and newbie interaction is best left for your /s A. C. Santacruz &#8258; Please ping me! 10:27, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

CSD A7
Hello Shirt58, this is to say that I declined the CSD tag on S. M. Model Government High School since educational institutions are not covered by CSD A7. I realise you're a fellow admin and that I'm in no position to lecture you on this. But, given that your edit summary suggested that you were in doubt about how the policy is applied nowadays, I thought I should briefly drop you this message. Best and happy editing, Modussiccandi (talk) 10:21, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Tuhin sinha
Just letting you know that the author is targeting you for nominating his recreated page for CSD. It may turn out to be nothing, but he's also got an article on this published by Opindia, who've previously doxxed wikipedians. Hemantha (talk) 06:49, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
