A note or two on deletion...

Deletion can end up being a pretty complicated process here on Wikipedia. It's not a requirement, but probably a good idea to watch and participate in a good many discussions before starting nominating articles for deletion. Since you've jumped right in, you should know that competency is required, and you should gain that competence by learning about the Deletion policy. One of the first things you should pick up is that there are a certain number of reasons for deletion. "Just a high school" is not one of them, and there are literally thousands of high school articles.
Before nominating an article, you should perform certain steps to insure that the article should be deleted. Although it is not one of the steps, I would argue that for articles similar to the ones you've been nominating, you should consider accessing the wikipedia library, especially newspapers.com, and doing a thorough search there. You are not required to do so, but if you do not, others will, and your nomination will likely not be successful. If you repeatedly make unsuccessful nominations, it wastes other editors time. You wouldn't appreciate others wasting your time, not does anyone I know appreciate that! Eventually, if an editor wastes too much of other peoples time, it may be considered WP:DISRUPTIVE. Disruptive editing could result in sanctions of various sorts. Please take the time to learn how to edit productively, rather than go down a negative path. Thanks. — Jacona (talk) 18:43, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

@Jacona I don't have access to the Wikipedia library. If there are reliable sources that show why a particular high school is important enough to be included in Wikipedia, shouldn't they be in the article? You added two short news items from a community newspaper in nearby Stockton. If those are the best things you found, I'm not sure why would think this is anything more than just another high school and I don't think every single high school in the United States needs to be in Wikipedia.

Sorry to bother you, you obviously think you know best. You're probably right, since you've done so much to advance the encyclopedia. Bye! — Jacona (talk) 20:38, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

@Jacona Rudeness and sarcasm will not help me to understand your points. Counterfeit Purses (talk) 20:42, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry you find my comments rude and sarcastic. Please consider doing some actual editing, getting access to sources, learn the deletion policy, the notability policy. After you've gotten the experience and the tools necessary to evaluate whether an article should be included or deleted, consider nominating articles for deletion. It's as if you've decided to run a nuclear reactor without even bothering to learn the periodic table. — Jacona (talk) 21:07, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

@Jacona I found your comments rude because they were intended to be rude. I honestly don't know how you expect people to take your advice when it follows a disingenuous non-apology. Counterfeit Purses (talk) 21:12, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Please realize that your ability to see a source doesn't matter. Also realize that sources do not have to be online. They do not have to be in the article, they merely have to exist. This is Wikipedia policy. Learn the policy before deciding you're in charge. — Jacona (talk) 21:12, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

@Jacona Please stop posting here. Thank you. Counterfeit Purses (talk) 21:13, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

OK. It's obvious you don't want to learn. Bye! — Jacona (talk) 21:14, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Would someone please ask Jacona to leave me alone? Thanks. Counterfeit Purses (talk) 21:31, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

I don't think Jacona will continue posting here, and I'm not going to ping them here and tempt them to engage further. If they do come back, ping me and I can talk to them. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 23:21, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks Counterfeit Purses (talk) 23:28, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

I've looked at your 2 high school AfDs as well as the exchange above with Jacona. I reckon you're probably feeling pretty frustrated - hang in there. I suggest you just pause initiating deletions until you have enough edits to qualify for Wikipedia Library access. In the meantime, I encourage you to participate in lots of AfDs so you'll be all primed to go once you can access the Wikipedia Library. We always need good deleters. --A.

Thank you, that is very kind. Counterfeit Purses (talk) 21:11, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Warning

Your previous discussion is likely in violation of Wikipedia:Child protection, if you want to report such content, arbcom and Wikipedia foundation are your place, do not discuss about that on wiki. -Lemonaka‎ 03:37, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

@Lemonaka I don't see how it could be a violation of that policy, but if that were the case, I am sure Primefac would have warned me themselves. If Primefac has any concerns about child safety, I am sure they have contacted the necessary people and the situation will be dealt with appropriately. Thanks for your message anyhow.

Association of Mormon Letters revert

I removed some material from that page, and you reverted it believing it is due. I've started a conversation on the talk page of the article. Please come over to discuss, and bring some non primary sources please Big Money Threepwood (talk) 02:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Wiki stalking

I see you going through my wiki history. Its creepy. Don't be creepy. Big Money Threepwood (talk) 03:44, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

I assume you mean this deletion discussion for an AI generated image that you tried to add to the Wikipedia article for a living person? Counterfeit Purses (talk) 03:50, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

The discussion you created minutes after I asked you about your reverts to the AML page? Yeah, that's it! Kinda weird how you found a common (and CC) image moments after I asked you for a secondary source about the content you added to the AML. Do you mean to infer this was incidental, and not that you are stalking my edits? Big Money Threepwood (talk) 04:02, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Please leave me alone. Thanks. Counterfeit Purses (talk) 04:03, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

No hard feelings

Re, the Emily Willis discussion, where we had a disagreement across several forums. I just wanted to let you know that, reviewing the discussions, I hold nothing against you. Cheers! BD2412 T 03:19, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for saying that. I appreciate it. Counterfeit Purses (talk) 14:05, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
