I'm a bit confused about this article: Genie_(programming_language)
It had an original Article for Deletion, which was relisted to generate more comments, but whose result was Delete back on 27 July 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Genie_(programming_language)
And then a second nomination, which seems like one that was trying to make a point, but was unrelated to the first nomination: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Genie_(programming_language)_(2nd_nomination)
How come the first nomination didn't result in a deletion? What should happen now (I have searched and can't find any new information on the topic). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peterl (talk • contribs) 22:16, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
Tried to fit this question into the constraints of Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard, but it didn't seem to belong, so I've brought it here. Sorry if that's wrong. A few times lately I've seen claims made in articles that a particular word or expression is frequently or commonly used to describe something, and the sourcing for it is several examples of it being used. This doesn't seem right to me. The most recent case in point is 2019–20 Australian bushfire season, where an editor has written "The term black summer has become a common term for the 2019–20 bushfire season". The sourcing for that claim is three separate examples of it being used that way. An ideal source, to me, would be one that actually says pretty what I put in quotes there. Three examples doesn't prove something is a common term. So, are examples good enough to be sources in situations like this. HiLo48 (talk) 01:48, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
Some newspapers have employed the term black summer to describe the 2019–20 bushfire season, subject to the due weight policy, which could serve as a suitable compromise. – Teratix ₵ 07:14, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
Do you know why article 2020 coronavirus pandemic in the United States will not accept ((2019–20 coronavirus pandemic)) at the bottom of the page? Please ((ping)) me when you respond. --Jax 0677 (talk) 06:11, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
Majority of companies in the world are locking down to certain extent to work from homes even providing leaves due to new COVID-19 (coronavirus) in order to reduce the impact of spreading the new coronavirus. thus in order to reduce the impact of covid-19 countries need to impose policies to lockdown for certain time to mitigate the effect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.225.202.165 (talk) 07:31, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
I need assistance in creating an acceptable biography for Wikipedia, thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by KENNEDYMBA (talk • contribs) 09:08, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
I don't see the as an clickable option anywhere in your tools/or access pages. I would like to store my favorite author searches by some means. If you don't have that ability within Wikipedia should I just create a google sheet for this?

This article should be split in two. Queryzo (talk) 19:41, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
Hey Guys
There is a user that owns ecosecretariat.org/ that has built an affiliate marketing/make money online blog and has a TON (hundreds) of backlinks from Wikipedia on Pakistan, the middle east etc - 100% NON-relevant for his website now.
I'm guessing he aquired the domain once it expired, and re-built it to take advantage of the backlinks from Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlenney (talk • contribs) 19:50, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
