Information icon Welcome, and thank you for contributing the page Draft:Pod znamenem Lenina-Stalina to Wikipedia. While you have added the page to the English version of Wikipedia, the article is not in English. We invite you to translate it into English. Pages in foreign languages will not be kept here, and may be deleted if they are not translated into English. Thank you. Eyesnore 16:44, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Eyesnore. This is a draft, the passages that you see in Russian are not supposed to be translated, they are quotes. As the article is written the quotes will be removed. --Soman (talk) 16:55, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, the introduction of inappropriate pages, such as Maharashtra Rashtravadi Congress, is considered vandalism and is prohibited. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

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.

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Pod znamenem Lenina-Stalina, issue 1, 1942 cover.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:37, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Tagging pages for speedy deletion

Hello, Soman,

I think you have tagged a lot of pages for CSD G5 speedy deletion that don't qualify for this criteria because the page creator and primary contributor to the article was not a block-evading editor. Speedy deletion criteria are intentionally very limited and criteria have to be suitable for the page that is tagged. I've reverted some of your taggings because they were not appropriate and this might warrant a review of Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G5. Creations by banned or blocked users. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 17:50, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello Liz. I understand your concern, but I think it's important we reflect on how to deal with this rather weird situation. I'll reply in greater length in the ANI thread. --Soman (talk) 20:59, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

The Signpost: 16 September 2023

Notice

The article Panchayat Prajatantra Party has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication this is a notable political party (practically an A7). Mere existence does not grant inherent notability to political parties. No significant coverage located in English. As the Nepali name is not given, no search in Nepali possible.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ♠PMC(talk) 03:08, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
