The article Artur Sandauer has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Ⓩⓟⓟⓘⓧ Talk 02:55, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Artur Sandauer
Hello PatGallacher,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Artur Sandauer for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

1922 MPs
Hello PatGallacher! I appreciate you adding articles for members of the short Parliamentary session of 1922. I have seen your work in the Draft article space and I think these are well on their way to being accepted. I'm a little apprehensive about accepting the articles myself, because they seem a little short on content, even for a stub. I challenge you to find a little more information about these subjects to pad out the articles and their sources a little more (which shouldn't be impossible if they existed in the 20th Century). Once that is all done, I would be happy to accept those drafts! Thanks for all your help at expanding Wikipedia! Bkissin (talk) 19:47, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
- May I add to this and suggest you hold off creating these articles unless you have the material to create "mini biographies". I draw your atention to the biographies I created out of thin air recently: Albert Lindsay Parkinson and Bouverie McDonald, all out of Google-able sources, more substantive than these recent additions.Marplesmustgo (talk) 23:48, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

William Weir Gilmour
Hello Pat. I’m not sure if this is the correct way to message you. I’ve not used this before. I removed content from the page because is my father and my then 17 year old was researching her ancestry. I didn’t want her learning about this online. Mel1425 (talk) 00:55, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your reply. I recognise this could raise some complex and sensitive issues. However Wikipedia is not censored for the protection of minors, see WP:NOTCENSORED. Some might ask if the issue you mention was more deplorable than his fascist activities. Wikipedia has biographies on a lot of people with controversial personal lives e.g. Tommy Sheridan currently has a teenage daughter, her parents might not feel happy about some issues online, and Chelsea Clinton was in her teens when her father's activities hit the headlines. However I will raise this on the appropriate Wikipedia noticeboard if you want. PatGallacher (talk) 16:33, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
I didn’t think anyone would care about it being removed and didn’t know I had to give a reason. I’m not knowledgeable about Wikipedia procedures. Neither Tommy Sheridan nor Clinton have been convicted of sexually abusing their juvenile daughters. In addition, W W Gilmour has been dead for over 20 years and he has no influence in politics today. I would have been happy for the politicians and religious leaders who knew him to have spoken out about at the time. It upsets me that they kept quiet, possibly because they were also involved in some of his “activities”, yet now it is published on a public forum. That particular information benefits no-one.

"Deposed monarchy cruft" (I call it "crowncruft")
Is it about time for us to do a RfC about what I call "crowncruft"? There are editors out there who seem to feel that the great-grandson of some Italian duke deposed in 1935 should still qualify as notable just because they can put "Duke of Fortessa-Cappucino" on their business cards at the vacuum-cleaner dealership where they work. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:37, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

IMHO no, I'm afraid. It's not a question of references or more detail, it's a question of whether he is notable, see WP:GNG. If you want you could contest the prod, but then this would probably end up going to AFD. PatGallacher (talk) 16:33, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Really, why are you so obsessively bothered by the existence of royal and noble biographical pages? Your crusade to delete theme achieves absolutely nothing.

There is a degree of monarchist bias about many of these articles, and also anti-German and anti-Italian bias about some of them, not recognising the unification of these countries in the mid-19th-century, there is also original research in some of the supposed lines of succession.

- Yeah but have you looked up what coverage is out there of her in reliable sources, or are you just making generalisations? You might as well start going around tagging as being of questionable notability any random footballer, actor, opera singer, scientist, politician etc that you’ve never heard of as they do not automatically confer notability.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Deaths in Hawaii
A tag has been placed on Category:Deaths in Hawaii requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
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 deleted without delay.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Deaths by stabbing in Hawaii
A tag has been placed on Category:Deaths by stabbing in Hawaii requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
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 deleted 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. Liz Read!

Zara Mohammed moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Zara Mohammed, is not suitable 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 "Draft:" 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.
