Speedy deletion nomination of U.S. Basic Income Guarantee Network


A tag has been placed on U.S. Basic Income Guarantee Network 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 an organization or company, but it 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 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Golden Rule, you may be blocked from editing. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  14:44, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at Golden Rule. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  14:58, 16 May 2018 (UTC) Sorry I thought that "the silver rule" was a legitimate idea. I read about it in Steven Pinker's book "Enlightenment Now," found what looked like a good source, and attempted to make helpful edit to this page. Is something wrong with the concept of the Silver Rule or the source I used? Please let me know. I don't do a lot of editing, but I want to do it well. User: Widerquist I can't figure out how to sign this properly, but I'm the user named Widerquist.
 * Because all you've done is add links to micahtillman.com which is neither a reliable or acceptable source and is ref spam. CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  15:15, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

OK so there's nothing wrong with "the silver rule." I just need to find a better source? Can you take this blot off my record? I just wanted to add some useful info. I thought it was a legitimate source. Thanks, Widerquist.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to Killing of George Floyd does not have an edit summary.&#32;Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

 * Revision differences

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. Thanks! Love of Corey (talk) 01:07, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

Ken Renard moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Ken Renard, 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.
