Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Redirects to transliterations

A tag has been placed on Category:Redirects to transliterations indicating that it is currently empty, 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 it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz Read! Talk! 01:16, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

@Liz thanks for the tag; without it I would not have realized I had set up the template to populate that category incorrectly. It has entries now so I have removed the C1 tag. Thank you! Cheers! TartarTorte 01:44, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

CSD tag removal

General elections in Pakistan are held simultaneously in the four provincial assemblies and the federal assembly on the same day. There is also a page related to General Election 2018 and there are separate pages related to the four Provincial Assemblies which have everything in detail. So in this case, it is not right at all to create a page by extracting the result of each provincial assembly at the federal level. You can edit it by going to Provincial Assemblies page or General Election page. So I am restoring the CSD tag of that page and you can give your argument in contest deletion and let the admins decide. Thanks. M.Ashraf333 (talk) 17:43, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

@M.Ashraf333, I disagree they are the same article. There is an article 2018 Pakistani general election, which covers the election for the National Assembly around the entire country and there is the 2018 Punjab provincial election. There is not an article, until now, that covers the specific results of the general election within Punjab, which is what would be required for WP:A10. It also seems that if a CSD tag was removed by someone who wasn't the author of the page, then it's considered to be a contoversial deletion, which should be handled by WP:AfD or another deletion process per WP:CSD. I am going to remove the tag and restore the page to the version it was before. You can open an AfD discussion about it if you want. I think WP:PROD might also be an option? Feel free to ping me if you want further explanation. I can open the AfD discussion for you if you want as well. TartarTorte 18:04, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
Well, if I accept your words for a while, then tell me that there are about 272 constituencies in Pakistan. So in that sense, each constituency will have a separate page. Just like that.
2018 General Election NA-1, 2018 General Election NA-2 and so on.
So this page is unnecessary because you can't get federal assembly result for every constituency or every province that's why a separate main page has been created which is called 2018 General Election.
However, I am not moving it to AfD because the argument you had to give there, you could have given the same argument in CSD without any tag removal.Thank you M.Ashraf333 (talk) 18:29, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Kriyayoga

Pinging you about the closing of WP:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 November 16#Kriyayoga, as you expressed an interest in dealing with the links. One edit to Template:Vajrayana should fix many of them if you know the best new target. Certes (talk) 14:45, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping. It seems that within the template it would be best to pipe the link Classes of Tantra in Tibetan Buddhism#Kriyā to Kriyayoga. I'll go through the rest with AWB after I change the template. TartarTorte 14:56, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
Update it's all cleaned up. Nothing is currently targeting Kriyayoga from article space. It ended up only being 6 or 7 links to replace. TartarTorte 15:03, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Edit on NORAD

This edit was not a joke. 92.83.241.88 (talk) 21:01, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

If you can find a WP:RS to attest to it, then you can add it back in the article with a citation. TartarTorte 21:04, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Do you have a WP:RS for saying it is a simulation? 92.83.241.88 (talk) 21:19, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hi, thanks for reading Wikipedia:AfD stats don't measure what you think and for the Thanks notification about it! I feel pretty strongly about that issue, and I really don't like how I constantly see people getting knocked for the incoherent charge of "low AfD stats", so I put a lot of effort into explaining why I think it's wrong. But the essay has a tiny view count, and it's hard to see what to do about that since I don't want to barge into high-stakes discussions where people are being evaluated to promote my own essay :P Anyways, it's just very good to know that at least one person read it! - Astrophobe (talk) 18:44, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

No worries! It captured a lot of thoughts I had about AfD stats as well, so thank you very, very much for having it in essay form! I'm honestly unsure why certain essays have higher views that other ones other than somehow becoming ones that get linked a lot, but how that starts to me is a mystery. I always am fascinated when citing something that I could've sworn was policy, but is just an essay that seemingly everyone (myself included) refers to as if it's policy; however that's a bit of a tangent. Best of luck on it though because it is both a well argued essay and represents a view that is seemingly the minority on wikipedia currently, which is a shame. Cheers! TartarTorte 18:59, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Draft:Bishangarh

If this is not a G2, it should be G5, please check deletion log of that page and you may get that. Lemonaka (talk) 00:38, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

@Lemonaka, Sorry, I only declined the WP:G2 to me because it seemed to me to be not a test page. You're free to tag it with whatever other CSD criterion you want to. TartarTorte 01:32, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Cricketer articles at RfD

Thanks for pointing out at RfD that redirects created by a sock are eligible for speedy. Despite being around for years I never realised that! Much appreciated. Blue Square Thing (talk) 08:40, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

No worries! I only learned about it recently myself. All the best! TartarTorte 15:58, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

History of the Palestine national football team

Hi, I don't know where the problem is. If I want to create the article, do I have to paste my content into the redirect? Sakiv (talk) 19:40, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

@Sakiv, If you have content for an article you can replace the redirect with an article just by pasting that content into the page. That's allowed. The other process you can do is create Draft:History of Palestine national football team then put {{db-g6}} on History of the Palestine national football team, but honestly you can just boldly replace the redirect with the article content and that will be fine. TartarTorte 19:43, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
No, I want the deletion of this redirect now, because it is not needed in the first place, and it has not been 5 months since it was created. The issue is with who created it though an encyclopedic article could be made from it. Sakiv (talk) 19:46, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
@Sakiv If you want it deleted you can take the redirect to WP:RfD. I personally do not think the redirect is eligible for any of the CSD categories unless there is a draft to be moved there, in which case it can be WP:G6'd. TartarTorte 19:56, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
You can also replace the content of the redirect page with your content. TartarTorte 20:00, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

I have been engaged through my company, Brand Newsroom, to update the Resy article. I have disclosed this info on my user page and the talk page for the article as well.

I have been told that in order to have the ding removed I must:

"show that all the additions by its creator had been removed and the article revised completely" or "suggest removing the tag by posting the suggestion on the article's Talk page."

I've done the later, but I'm not sure how to go about the former.

What should I be looking at as I go about removing the controversial material? It all looks pretty neutral to me right now.

Many thanks in advance! ManyBellsDown (talk) 19:24, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

@ManyBellsDown, hi! Thanks for reaching out. I believe that there are two text insertions that could be considered WP:UPE those were added by user raffybund, here and by user Mazurkevin, here. It seems that the raffybund contributions have been removed, but that's not entirely the case with the contributions by Mazurkevin. I am not an expert myself in UPE policy, so I'm pinging MER-C who added the {{UPE}} tag in the first place to see what needs to be done to remove it. Best! TartarTorte 19:41, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
Thank you! I'll keep on it. Hope to hear from MER-C. Thanks! 142.255.105.35 (talk) 20:12, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.
