Sherry Bain[edit]

Hi Blazing Sceptile, I saw your input on the Talk page. So thanks for contesting the deletion for Sherry Bain. I have found some newspaper articles that feature here. I have done a lot of work on her page, plus added a Further reading section. Please add any other comments there. Cheers Karl Twist (talk) 07:53, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kevwe Ogunje[edit]

I saw your comments on the talk page of this article. In addition to three deletions under this name, it has also been deleted under variants of the name for copyright violations and promotion.

I accept that you were acting in good faith and for the benefit of the encyclopaedia, but I deleted anyway because with just over 100 edits I don't think you have the experience to salvage this. Even with your additions, much of the article was unreferenced, and you should note that independent verifiable sources excludes sources that are linked to him or an affiliated company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what he claims or interviewing him. I don't think any of the refs met the criteria of independent third-party sources as defined above, thanks Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:32, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well thank you for your appreciation. I understand that I am not experienced enough to handle such cases. Will try to keep these things in mind for the future. Blazing Sceptile (talk) 09:34, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

March 2018[edit]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Ņikita Ivanovs. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Giant Snowman 13:16, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oops my bad. I was going to add references to some other page and ended up adding to it. Accept my sincere apologies User: GiantSnowman and I take this incident as caution. Blazing Sceptile (talk) 22:56, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Todd Blount (May 13)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KJP1 was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Advertisement with very weak Notability. Source 2 is the subject's LinkedIn page, Source 3, the subject's website. Source 4 is about the company and belongs there if it belongs anywhere. That leaves Source 1, a regional, industry award. This doesn't amount to the "significant coverage" necessary to establish Notability. It is also very likely that the author of this, as with the authors of Blount Fine Foods and F. Nelson Blount have undeclared Conflicts of interest. There's overlap between them.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Todd Blount and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Todd Blount, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Blazing Sceptile! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! KJP1 (talk) 07:33, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Jenna Downing (June 1)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Legacypac was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines for sports persons and athletes, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Jenna Downing and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Jenna Downing, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.

Proposed deletion of Abel Yekeh[edit]

Hello, Blazing Sceptile. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Abel Yekeh, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

File permission problem with File:Abel Yekeh.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Abel Yekeh.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jon Kolbert (talk) 05:08, 24 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
