A tag has been placed on Johnny Ma 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 a person or group of people, 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.

Why do you work in my sandbox? I do not like this. It is a place for projects.--Buchbibliothek (talk) 18:08, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. 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.

Should ((LGBT-bio-stub)) not also be a subcat of Category:LGBT people? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:57, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi; I have noticed lately that you have CFD nominated a bunch of categories recently created by User:Mannerheimo. (All of the LGBT triple intersections, the Islamic feminists ones, etc.) I've done the same recently with some of the users' creations. The user seems to be quite prolific in creating categories that are either of questionable utility or have been previously deleted. In recent months the user has created a huge raft of categories like Category:I-Kiribati politicians of Chinese descent across all nationality and ethnicity combinations, for politicians, sportspeople, diplomats, and several other intersections – many of which were deleted in the past under different names, incidentally. Any insight into how we should proceed with this issue would be welcome. We can continue to nominate categories, but I'm afraid that over the past year he's creating far faster than we can delete.

Hi Bearcat
I am the content creator of the above page SOTUS: The Series. However i have a problem, there is this 1 user by the name FM, he/she has been editing the page which i am currently editing (the series is 16 episodes long, and it's only the 6th episodes to date). FM has been changing one word from the original strawberry to pink, and i have just revert this issue for the 4th time, i am not sure what to do here, but i hope you could advise how should i go about it. Blocking the user or??. Thanks and appreciate it.Evan Weinstein | Talk 01:16, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
Category:20th-century American politicians, which you created, has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. A discussion is taking place to see if it abides with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you.

Hi, i have started a new Rfc on the talk page of Nathaniel Erskine-Smith and i since you have made edits in the past on the above mentioned page I thought you might like to comment. -- Ntb613 (talk) 03:25, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
As creator of these lists (such as List of Canadian films of 2016) do you feel strongly about references in that final right hand side column? That column was not initially there in the layout for these pages, as I recall, but I'm happy to add a ref when I add films, if you feel it's necessary... thanks, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:44, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
A request to revisit Carlos Avery, which you nominated for deletion, for reconsideration... I've worked my butt off on it today, I got interested. Best, —tim /// Carrite (talk) 22:21, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
Okay Wasim Aftab was deleted as a duplicate article and has been recreated as Wasim Aftab director but I'm not sure what the original one was so I can't put the db tag on it! Wgolf (talk) 05:25, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
Hello Bearcat, Your comments on the Paul Pines notable person draft were very helpful. I have linked many more reliable sources adequately showing the subject's notability. I think it is ready for submission now. Could you check it out, suggest any changes and possibly approve it? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ogmany (talk • contribs) 23:51, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
There is no specific rule against an author moving their own article into article space. It isn't necessary to move it back into draft space. On Monday an editor moved their article on a salamander from draft space into article space because they got impatient with AFC. You moved it back into draft space. Was this because you thought that the move was not permitted, or that it wasn't ready for article (main) space? I used the reviewer Accept function and moved it to article space because I used the judgment that a named subspecies of vertebrate is ipso facto notable if a reliable source confirms that it exists. Articles can be moved from article space to draft space if they aren't ready for article space, although in that case I would prefer to say that the editor has made a gamble on AFD and nominate the article for deletion.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Governor General's Award for French to English translation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Émile Martel. 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.

That Malaysian IP user who was copy-pasting your move rationales has been getting increasingly disruptive. In the past few days, the editor has been blanking talk page comments ([1] and [2]), removing reliable sources that I add to articles ([3]), and breaking working links ([4], [5], etc). I brought this to ANI earlier (link), but not a single admin responded. Is there nothing that can be done about this? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:50, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I hope you will be fine when you will get my message. Recently you've deleted one of article written by me about the Arslan Sheraz and marked as advertisement, promotional purpose which was neither for promotion nor for advertisement. Kindly undo that article because I've done a lot of hardwork for that, I searched google for 2 days for collecting his information. Best Reagards and waiting for your reply — Preceding unsigned comment added by AngelaRola (talk • contribs) 03:38, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Thank you so much for your positive response :) Yes you are saying right and I am agreed with you :) however if you can please undo this so I can remove the things which look likes promotional content or have poor grammar because rewriting the whole article will be very difficult or isn't it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AngelaRola (talk • contribs) 08:37, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
My thinking on Category:Hyderabad, India culture was that since it was a merger rather than a rename, it had to go via CfD - is that not the case? There was content in both old and new cats.Le Deluge (talk) 07:58, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm trying to get the hang of creating some pages here. You seem to be a pro at this and have come and fixed some of my errors. What else do I need to do to make sure my pages don't get marked? HopeAnci (talk) 00:21, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Bearcat, I'm here to tell you, that the Telesat Canada ownership of the Anik satellites on the Global Television Network article is here to stay. So please, don't have an edit war with me.

Hey Bearcat, is this "images go in image categories, not article categories" a new policy? I think you're mistaken about this, as WP:FILECAT states "A category can mix articles and images, or a separate file/image category can be created". (This came to my attention from this diff.)

Hello, I see that you've done some editing on Allen Skillicorn's article, so I would like to notify you that the article has been nominated for deletion. --1990'sguy (talk) 01:46, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your help at CFD. When relisting discussions, it is usual to use ((Relist)) at the foot of the discussion on the new page. I inserted it and moved your relisting comment in this one. Hope this helps! – Fayenatic London 13:50, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Bearcat I had asked Meatgains to change that, as well. He got it right in his edit summary but failed to note the result in the actual closure. best, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:14, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
