I created a new page following the guidelines but after moving it, I got the message "This sandbox is in the article namespace. Either move this page into your userspace, or remove the ((User sandbox))template." Does anyone know what I should do? Thank you Medrine Nyambura (talk) 02:33, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

I would like to nominate a page for redirection. The article Delta FM is pretty much redundant now. When the station closed it merged with Kestrel FM. This page then redirected to The Breeze, which now in turn should probably redirect to Greatest Hits Radio as The Breeze has also closed. Therefore, I would like to to nominate Delta FM to be redirected to Greatest Hits Radio. I have attempted to do the nomination myself but got very confused. Any help would be gratefully received. - Funky Snack (Talk) 08:36, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
Just because something has ceased to operate it does not necessarily mean that it is no longer notable. There are plenty of such organisations (and in fact people ) who no longer exist which are still notable.. Some of them have passed on their work to other organisations because they have been taken over or because they were privatised ore sold off in bits. Some of them have just been wound up ,or in the case of people ,died. Would you say the following are no longer notable: Queen Elizabeth I, Britiish East India Company, British Railways, Royal Leicestershire Regiment, Czechoslovakia, Austin Motor Company etc? I think what is required is a statement in the Delta article to the effect that it merged with Kestrel. If Kestrel has an article of its own it should be blue linked in the Delta article, which is in fact what happened. Whether Delta was itself notable in the first place is a different question. So is whether a notable person or thing can become forgetable with the passage of time. Delta has been out of business for ten years. I think it would probably take longer than that. William Wyggeston (or Wigston) was notable in the early 16th century but he may or may not be notable now. (he was a wealthy wool merchant and philanthropist and was several times Mayor of Leicester) I haven't checked if he has a wikipedia page. Hope this helps.Spinney Hill (talk) 08:15, 8 September 2020 (UTC) I have just checked and he does have a page. I see he was also Mayor of Calais (then an English possession)Spinney Hill (talk) 08:55, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

Frye spent her formative years in constant motion as her father was transferred to parishes in the Eastern and Western Cape. She became politicised in the 1980s primarily due to her father’s work. Frye joined NUSAS when she enrolled at UCT to study a BA Llb in 1990, in its last days.
Frye worked as an attorney at Walker’s Attorneys as a commercial litigator from 1996 to 2002, becoming one of the first two female directors. She then left and joined the Black Sash as their National Advocacy Manager until joining NALEDI, the research service NGO of COSATU in 2004.

I can supply many more links of sources if the publishers above are not credible.
Thank you for your help.

I am an author who has written over 50 books, translated into up to 20 languages (e.g. The Bestiary) with some of the most reputable publishers in the World. My books have been reviewed in the Times Literary Supplement, Time Magazine and Sunday Telegraph as well as LA Times and Detroit Free Press. Someone created my wikipedia page in 2003 and it suddenly disappeared to be redirected to a fan type page for the brilliant JRR Tolkien.
My university has a special collection of my books and awarded me a "distinguished alumni" award. My books have been in print and are still selling in the bookstores and on line. I am at a loss to prove validity for Wikipedia. My books are me. Please help?
KingoftheWoods (talk) 17:43, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
Also, in looking at my peers and contemporaries who have wiki pages, my page had more sources. I did not create my page, it was created at the beginning of Wikipedia and this year, I tried to rectify some information. Is my university a credible source, if so, maybe the information here will help https://www.uvic.ca/alumni/impact/home/awards/distinguished/2015-DA-bios/index.php
I read through the notability and would like you to reconsider putting my page created at the beginning of Wikipedia back on line KingoftheWoods (talk) 18:00, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello Victor Schmidt
Thank you for answering the question. To clarify, you are saying that my reviews do not make me a notable WP:NAUTHOR because they are about the books and there is not enough about me. So it seems that it is not me that is notable, it is my books, I just happened to write them.
I did not have any input to the publication of the reviews in Time Magazine, New Scientist, Times Literary Supplement, Quill & Quire and New Scientist. These respected publications picked the books as their choice. Some of it was before the internet. These notable publications thought I was notable enough to review my books. Time Magazine listed me as the top 12 books that season. This is very upsetting not only to me but will be to the reviewers and to the publications concerned.
Also, If I understand you correctly, the person (I do not know who) that considered me notable in 2003 to publish the Wikipedia page should not have published the page? Since the page was published, I have written 12 more books and surely that adds to being a notable WP:NAUTHOR
All the citations that were on my website are available in hard copy and on line. There are many.
To go back to the original "ask" of supplying 3 creditable sources, will these do?
https://www.uvic.ca/library/home/home/news/current/david-day-lecture.php https://www.uvic.ca/alumni/impact/home/awards/distinguished/2015-DA-bios/index.php https://books.google.ca/books?id=EIZI3TDTGTsC&pg=PA44&dq=david+day+doomsday+book+of+animals&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwithpyEv9frAhX9hXIEHVPeBBoQ6AEwAHoECAEQAg#v=onepage&q=david%20day%20doomsday%20book%20of%20animals&f=false
I also have endorsements in writing from Michael Palin, and Margaret Attwood as well as the late Terry Jones and Ted Hughes.
Also the Duke of Edinburgh has written the introduction to my Doomsday Book of Animals.
Is there anything else to be done?

The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.I have used this in the past to successfully establish notability, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Katz (author) and the related David Katz (author). But do note the disagreement expressed in the discussion. Having some independent reliable sources that discuss you in detail will help a lot. Note that celebrity endorsements are of little or no value, as are introductions to books by well known people. I would be willing to work with you on creating a draft to merge into the previous version of the article. Are you interested? DES(talk)DESiegel Contribs 20:51, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
Hello DES
Yes, I would be very very grateful for your help. Thank you for the offer. The above comments and notes were inserted to check if I could come up with credible sources. I did not know where to turn when someone told me that my page was deleted. Please let me know what you need me to do. KingoftheWoods (talk) 21:16, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

I came across a biography that seems to be heavily shilled and aggrandizing. When I tried to add a recent news development about racist tendencies it was deleted by another party. Most of the information is not sourced and seems rather fanciful (he invented the hydrogen car while in high school?) but attempts to question it are blocked. Can it be submitted for review by a larger group? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_E._Billings — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.226.250 (talk) 16:19, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

YOUR SO CALLED EXPERTS EXIST BUT THEIR IS NO WAY TO CONTACT THEM BY PHONE OR EMAIL. YOUR OTHER APPROACH ARE LINES AND LINES OF MATERIALS THAT WOULD TAKE ME DAYS TO READ THROUGH. IS THERE A SOLUTION??
