Hi there. You had edited the article Jain Brāhman. Could you please change the names of the following articles:
1) "Jain Brāhman" to "Jain Brāhmans"

There may be more than one David Rhodes who is a musician, but there appears to me to be only one with a wikipedia page: RHODES (musician). Therefore I feel my edit to the redirect page was appropriate. The disambiguation listing of David Rhodes is a link to a non-existant page and probable should be deleted.

Rover Motorsport was originally an article but was changed to a redirect. The discussion was at Talk:Scouting and Guiding in Victoria. I have reverted your edit to the redirect, as I think the creation of an article needs discussion. The redirect has been altered and I have no objection to altering it again. Maybe a redirect to Rovers (Australia) would be better. I do not see how a stand-alone article can survive. It is just not notable enough in wikipedia terms. I suggest the discussion should be a new section at Talk:Scouting and Guiding in Victoria. -- Bduke (Discussion) 00:34, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi there! I saw you tagged Mongolic peoples as needing expansion, except this article already exists: Mongols. You can see from NGRAM views that "Mongolic people" is not used by scholars because it is a false back-formation from Mongolic languages, which in turn was derived from the word Mongol. All the Mongolic languages are quite closely related and connected to the expansion of the Mongols, who used the Middle Mongol language, which is essentially identical to the theoretical model created by linguists using linguistic reconstruction called Proto-Mongolic; there are no outliers. Cites from experts such as Janhunen clarify this: "Apart from Mongolian, or Mongol proper, the Mongolic language family comprises a dozen other languages, spoken mainly in regions adjacent to Mongolia. Historically, the Mongolic language family was formed as a result of the political expansion of the mediaeval, or "historical", Mongols under Chinggis Khan [...] and his descendants in the 12th-15th centuries."
There is a discussion going on at the talk page of that DAB about this issue as there is no scholarly basis for creating a page titled "Mongolic people(s)" (either way).
Pre-Mongol groups like the Xianbei are covered by proto-Mongols as they are not, sensu strictu, Mongols or Mongolic speakers, and the apparent distant cousin of the Mongol language, Khitan, has not yet been provided a classification aside from "para-Mongolic" and it is not appropriate for us to label them "Mongolic people" when scholars don't even use the word. The proto-Mongols page is cited, although I think it could use more work such as adding more cites like this. Ogress smash! 18:30, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Red links should not be the only link in a given entry; link also to an existing article, so that a reader (as opposed to a contributing editor) will have somewhere to navigate to for additional information.
We must be reading a different MOSDAB. MOS:DABNAME says a person referred to by the single name should be in the body of the disambiguation page. Not having Franco in there is silly, it's such an obvious search term. Maybe it's happened for the xth time because it should be that way. Vrac ( talk) 04:19, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I think you make good points IMO whenever you comment at wt:DPL. I don't want to comment there very much now myself, because I feel I spoke up too much for a while, and because I am having less time to do any followups if necessary. Your comment about saints is interesting, you said:
There's a good reason for not clearing topics off the monthly list, [it could be because of one thing] or because it's quite simply impossible to find out which should be the target link (noticed all of the saints). They will always remain on there, but are sometimes being picked off as well, just at a slower pace. But I fail to see why you would want one-linked dabs to be dealt with. They're only at the bottom of the list.
I tried to clear some saint ones previously and find it virtually impossible. In one case I contacted a local historian/geneologist in the area of a girls' catholic school by email, and within a week or two he actually did inquire about it to the historian of a convent (it was convenient as he was at the convent to do other research), and he reported back which was the specific saint that the school is named for. But we can't do that for every school and church, and while the info would be re-producible by someone else following up to the convent librarian again, the process did not identify a written source to cite. My point is that even local persons, even local historians, don't know which specific saint is meant. I imagine that most members of a congregation don't know, or think they know but have it wrong, about which saint their church was originally named for. So I proceed to think it is NOT IMPORTANT which saint it is, e.g. for St. John, whether St. John the Baptist or St. John the apostle, etc. And it is unreasonable to require disambiguation of a link to the "St. John" page. Do you agree? If so, how about converting the St. John dab page to a SIA, and explain up top that the term is often not very specific but rather indicates a male saint including any one of the following. And the intro could comment that this one is more likely to be intended because of the observable, measurable fact that it has more churches known to be named for them specifically; I am presuming that there are some sources out there which would support statements like that (about which saints are more often a namesake). Then wouldn't it be productive, in a permanent good way, to do conversions of saints dabs that way, late in the month when the competition list has been run down... Anyhow, your comment pointing out the special problems of saints seems important to follow up on in some way.
Oh, and about following up on topics I raised at the Talk page, I would be grateful if you took an interest in converting more of the 50 or so dab pages whose entries are nearly all persons of a given surname, to convert them to Surname pages. I am not going to seek a Bot as no one else supported that and it does seem that individual treatment would be better. I will try to do some of those 50 occasionally and strike them off, but like i said I don't have too much time now.
Keep up your good work, cheers, -- do ncr am 22:20, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

In response to your edit summary please allow me take a moment to explain why Transfermarkt is not a reliable source. Most people are unaware of this, but site's database is largely user-generated. To quote the site's login page: Whether player, manager, club, or match report – as a Transfermarkt user you can edit and complete almost all data yourself. Simply click the gear, fill in the form, and click submit. This means that website qualifies as a self-published source and should be treated as unreliable. It also means the site is easily abusable as a means of introducing false information to Wikipedia, and this has actually been done in the past. Zombie433 ( talk · contribs) was banned from Wikipedia for, among other things, adding false information to Wikipedia articles by citing Transfermarkt profiles, which he had written himself. I should also add that my assertion that Transfermarkt is not reliable is by no means unilateral. This has been discussed several times at WP:RSN (most recently here) and at WP:ANI ( here). Additionally, Template:Transfermarkt was deleted on the grounds that the site is not a reliable source following a WP:TfD discussion here. I hope that clarifies things. Please do not cite Transfermarkt in articles, in the future. Happy editing. Sir Sputnik ( talk) 03:18, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

You seem to be mainly interested in the phrases which support your opinion,
is dead wrong, as it conflicts with the other examples given
I'm not entirely clear what "linked at least a dozen times" is but I simply changed the redirect because I found nothing at all to suggest he was independent notable or even that improvement could be made so given that article's current state, it simply served better as a likely search term for Mike Esposito, other people who seemed notable instead. The article is speedy, PROD and AfD material but as it seems clear he is not notable, I'm not seeing the need for a week(s) long AfD nomination. SwisterTwister talk 05:17, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

I understand that red links are useful in general, as articles may be created in the future. In some cases, however, they may be misleading, and Paddy O'Brien is one such case. "Paddy" is one of the most common first names in Ireland (and was more so 50 or 100 years ago), and "O'Brien" is one of the commonest surnames. Thus, if you look at Special:WhatLinksHere/Paddy O'Brien (IRA), you will find the Battle of Dublin (added by you recently) and the Kilmichael Ambush, but I have failed to find any evidence that Paddy O'Brien of the Cork Brigade, IRA (Kilmichael Ambush, 1920) was the same man as Paddy O'Brien of the Dublin Brigade, IRA (Battle of Dublin, 1922). He might have been, or he might not. In fact, I have found evidence to suggest that the Paddy O'Brien of Kilmichael was not the same man as the Paddy O'Brien of the Clonbanin Ambush (County Cork, 1921). Similarly, if you look at Special:WhatLinksHere/Paddy O'Brien (Kilkenny hurler), you will find Template:Kilkenny Hurling Team 1946 and Template:Kilkenny Under-21 Hurling Team 1975. He would have to be some athlete to have played on both teams! In the latter case, it may well be that the 1946 template (and Template:Kilkenny Minor Hurling Team 1939) just need to be edited to link to Paddy O'Brien (Éire Óg hurler), but even then you'd be working on nothing more than conjecture, and the IRA officer is far less straightforward. Since I do not want to be seen to be edit-warring with you, can I ask you at least to self-revert this edit on Battle of Dublin and edit Paddy O'Brien to remove the Battle of Dublin and link Kilmichael instead? Thank you. Scolaire ( talk) 10:59, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Midas02
You are quite entitled to disagree with the closure of any discussion, as you did with my closure of the Alejandro_Villanueva move request on 18 December.

You can open a move review at any time, and that option remains open. What you are not entitled to do is to simply make a fresh move request, repeating a discussion which has just been closed. That is called forum-shopping, and it is not a genuine consensus is not reached simply by asking the same question repeatedly until you get the answer you want.

We note only that dialect of the Tatar language', which is spoken by Russian Karaites , does not contain the slightest impurity Hebrew words any phrases or other traces of the language, which would have to say their ancestors, if these accurately ancestors were Jews. ... These circumstances unwittingly suggest: ... at least in our eyes ... Karaites ... descendants of the Khazar Turks who, as is known, practiced the law of Moses and held the Crimea from VIII to XI century "

Hi, can you tell me what you think of my editing of Panthéon-Assas University?
Someone with different IP addresses try to delete it (Panthéon-Sorbonne page also) and say it is biased, but all my changing are facts with sources. I do not see how it is biased. He refuses to talk. What to do, since there are several IP addresses?
Thanks!-- Launebee ( talk) 12:10, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
My editing seems to be in favour of Panthéon-Assas, but it is only because the previous version were clearly biased in favour of Panthéon-Sorbonne. I only wanted to give a fair presentation of both universities, which have both advantages and inconvenients. In the opposite, the other editor refuses to talk, did not put any disclosure about his links with Panthéon-Sorbonne and wanted to go back with a article with clearly false statements and without sources. I do not thnik it is my editing which is biased in any way. -- Launebee ( talk) 12:41, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Let me share one last tid-bit: One of the reasons I've enjoyed the ears of so many around here is that you never know who gets on my nerves and who doesn't. I keep my cards close to my vest, so outside of vandals/socks/trolls, you really have no idea how I feel about much of anyone. But I assure you, I have no less emotion than you about some people, but I find it serves my purposes better to keep emotion out of it, and in return, others don't discount my opinions due to my personal feelings. If you have a good argument (and you usually do) you would be amazed how how persuasive it can be when there is no question that it is based in logic and reason, and not an emotional reaction. When I learned how to do this, an amazing number of doors opened up for me.

Hi there! I saw you tagged Mongolic peoples as needing expansion, except this article already exists: Mongols. You can see from NGRAM views that "Mongolic people" is not used by scholars because it is a false back-formation from Mongolic languages, which in turn was derived from the word Mongol. All the Mongolic languages are quite closely related and connected to the expansion of the Mongols, who used the Middle Mongol language, which is essentially identical to the theoretical model created by linguists using linguistic reconstruction called Proto-Mongolic; there are no outliers. Cites from experts such as Janhunen clarify this: "Apart from Mongolian, or Mongol proper, the Mongolic language family comprises a dozen other languages, spoken mainly in regions adjacent to Mongolia. Historically, the Mongolic language family was formed as a result of the political expansion of the mediaeval, or "historical", Mongols under Chinggis Khan [...] and his descendants in the 12th-15th centuries."
There is a discussion going on at the talk page of that DAB about this issue as there is no scholarly basis for creating a page titled "Mongolic people(s)" (either way).
Pre-Mongol groups like the Xianbei are covered by proto-Mongols as they are not, sensu strictu, Mongols or Mongolic speakers, and the apparent distant cousin of the Mongol language, Khitan, has not yet been provided a classification aside from "para-Mongolic" and it is not appropriate for us to label them "Mongolic people" when scholars don't even use the word. The proto-Mongols page is cited, although I think it could use more work such as adding more cites like this. Ogress smash! 18:30, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Red links should not be the only link in a given entry; link also to an existing article, so that a reader (as opposed to a contributing editor) will have somewhere to navigate to for additional information.
We must be reading a different MOSDAB. MOS:DABNAME says a person referred to by the single name should be in the body of the disambiguation page.

Hi, I think you make good points IMO whenever you comment at wt:DPL. I don't want to comment there very much now myself, because I feel I spoke up too much for a while, and because I am having less time to do any followups if necessary. Your comment about saints is interesting, you said:
There's a good reason for not clearing topics off the monthly list, [it could be because of one thing] or because it's quite simply impossible to find out which should be the target link (noticed all of the saints). They will always remain on there, but are sometimes being picked off as well, just at a slower pace. But I fail to see why you would want one-linked dabs to be dealt with. They're only at the bottom of the list.
I tried to clear some saint ones previously and find it virtually impossible. In one case I contacted a local historian/geneologist in the area of a girls' catholic school by email, and within a week or two he actually did inquire about it to the historian of a convent (it was convenient as he was at the convent to do other research), and he reported back which was the specific saint that the school is named for. But we can't do that for every school and church, and while the info would be re-producible by someone else following up to the convent librarian again, the process did not identify a written source to cite. My point is that even local persons, even local historians, don't know which specific saint is meant. I imagine that most members of a congregation don't know, or think they know but have it wrong, about which saint their church was originally named for. So I proceed to think it is NOT IMPORTANT which saint it is, e.g. for St. John, whether St. John the Baptist or St. John the apostle, etc. And it is unreasonable to require disambiguation of a link to the "St. John" page. Do you agree? If so, how about converting the St. John dab page to a SIA, and explain up top that the term is often not very specific but rather indicates a male saint including any one of the following. And the intro could comment that this one is more likely to be intended because of the observable, measurable fact that it has more churches known to be named for them specifically; I am presuming that there are some sources out there which would support statements like that (about which saints are more often a namesake). Then wouldn't it be productive, in a permanent good way, to do conversions of saints dabs that way, late in the month when the competition list has been run down... Anyhow, your comment pointing out the special problems of saints seems important to follow up on in some way.
Oh, and about following up on topics I raised at the Talk page, I would be grateful if you took an interest in converting more of the 50 or so dab pages whose entries are nearly all persons of a given surname, to convert them to Surname pages. I am not going to seek a Bot as no one else supported that and it does seem that individual treatment would be better. I will try to do some of those 50 occasionally and strike them off, but like i said I don't have too much time now.
Keep up your good work, cheers, -- do ncr am 22:20, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

In response to your edit summary please allow me take a moment to explain why Transfermarkt is not a reliable source. Most people are unaware of this, but site's database is largely user-generated. To quote the site's login page: Whether player, manager, club, or match report – as a Transfermarkt user you can edit and complete almost all data yourself. Simply click the gear, fill in the form, and click submit. This means that website qualifies as a self-published source and should be treated as unreliable. It also means the site is easily abusable as a means of introducing false information to Wikipedia, and this has actually been done in the past. Zombie433 ( talk · contribs) was banned from Wikipedia for, among other things, adding false information to Wikipedia articles by citing Transfermarkt profiles, which he had written himself. I should also add that my assertion that Transfermarkt is not reliable is by no means unilateral. This has been discussed several times at WP:RSN (most recently here) and at WP:ANI ( here). Additionally, Template:Transfermarkt was deleted on the grounds that the site is not a reliable source following a WP:TfD discussion here. I hope that clarifies things.

I thought that's exactly what I did. Could you clarify your objection, please? 71.41.210.146 ( talk) 10:28, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
You only linked the words Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur, which would suggest the link leads you there. That's not the case however
You seem to be mainly interested in the phrases which support your opinion,
is dead wrong, as it conflicts with the other examples given
I'm not entirely clear what "linked at least a dozen times" is but I simply changed the redirect because I found nothing at all to suggest he was independent notable or even that improvement could be made so given that article's current state, it simply served better as a likely search term for Mike Esposito, other people who seemed notable instead. The article is speedy, PROD and AfD material but as it seems clear he is not notable, I'm not seeing the need for a week(s) long AfD nomination. SwisterTwister talk 05:17, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you
assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on
List of songs recorded by Leona Lewis. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Don't talk to me like that again. And don't accuse me doing things sneakily. I fail to see how I have. You are intact destabilising a Featured List by messing about with wikilinking. Why you feel the need to link to a non-existent article creating a red wikilink I don't know. Don't try and take the moral high ground with me, for you have also made two reverts; if you felt the need to have me "banned", you would only be self-incriminating yourself for doing the very same thing. Reading through other messages left on this talk page by other editors, they too have an issue with you disambiguating to non-existant articles and you have clearly provoked them into arguing as well. Next time, leave a message on the article talk to discuss an issue instead of creating one. —

I understand that red links are useful in general, as articles may be created in the future. In some cases, however, they may be misleading, and Paddy O'Brien is one such case. "Paddy" is one of the most common first names in Ireland (and was more so 50 or 100 years ago), and "O'Brien" is one of the commonest surnames. Thus, if you look at Special:WhatLinksHere/Paddy O'Brien (IRA), you will find the Battle of Dublin (added by you recently) and the Kilmichael Ambush, but I have failed to find any evidence that Paddy O'Brien of the Cork Brigade, IRA (Kilmichael Ambush, 1920) was the same man as Paddy O'Brien of the Dublin Brigade, IRA (Battle of Dublin, 1922). He might have been, or he might not. In fact, I have found evidence to suggest that the Paddy O'Brien of Kilmichael was not the same man as the Paddy O'Brien of the Clonbanin Ambush (County Cork, 1921). Similarly, if you look at Special:WhatLinksHere/Paddy O'Brien (Kilkenny hurler), you will find Template:Kilkenny Hurling Team 1946 and Template:Kilkenny Under-21 Hurling Team 1975. He would have to be some athlete to have played on both teams! In the latter case, it may well be that the 1946 template (and Template:Kilkenny Minor Hurling Team 1939) just need to be edited to link to Paddy O'Brien (Éire Óg hurler), but even then you'd be working on nothing more than conjecture, and the IRA officer is far less straightforward. Since I do not want to be seen to be edit-warring with you, can I ask you at least to self-revert this edit on Battle of Dublin and edit Paddy O'Brien to remove the Battle of Dublin and link Kilmichael instead? Thank you. Scolaire ( talk) 10:59, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
@ Midas02: I'm requesting you to join this Afd discussion. Your comment is valuable to us. Please help us reach a consensus. Thanks - Khocon ( talk) 19:20, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi Midas02
You are quite entitled to disagree with the closure of any discussion, as you did with my closure of the Alejandro_Villanueva move request on 18 December.
In that case, you should follow the steps listed at WP:Move review. You undertook the first of those, which was to raise your concerns on my talk page. We were unable to reach agreement, so I directed you to WP:Move review.
You can open a move review at any time, and that option remains open. What you are not entitled to do is to simply make a fresh move request, repeating a discussion which has just been closed. That is called forum-shopping, and it is not a genuine consensus is not reached simply by asking the same question repeatedly until you get the answer you want.
So I have closed your new move request, on procedural grounds.
If you are still dissatisfied, you are free to open a WP:Move review of the closure of Talk:Alejandro Villanueva#Requested_move_27_November_2015. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 06:12, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
Why are you Dutchmen so obstinate? In any case, please be warned that further non-consensus edits to Ottoman Palestine will be reported, and are like a WP:ARBPIA violation as well. Debresser ( talk) 19:46, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi. You have reverted my addition of the article Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes in the disambiguation page Mercedes claiming that "This is clearly a partial match, I doubt it would ever simply be referred to as "Mercedes", the Reina Mercedes is already borderline".
I hope that the following arguments will allow you to reconsider your position:
I look forward to your reply. Best regards, -- Hispalois ( talk) 23:29, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Come to Wikipedia talk:External links/Perennial websites where we are discussing changing the wording for using Findagrave. I want to emphasize that using the biographical text is forbidden, but using the description of the tombstone and the burial location is ok.

Hi Midas02, I cleaned up the Karaite disambiguation and removed the notice you placed here [5] if however I did not do well enough yet, please do restore the notice. Best regards. YuHuw ( talk) 10:38, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
«…Заметим только, что наречие татарского языка, которым говорят Русские Караиты, не заключает в себе ни малейшей примеси еврейских слов, оборотов или каких-либо других следов того языка, которым должны были говорить их предки, если эти предки точно были евреи. …обстоятельства эти невольно наводят на мысль: … по крайней мере, в наших глазах… караимы… потомки тех турок-хазар, которые, как известно, исповедовали закон Моисея и владели Крымом с VIII по XI век»
Could you take another look at Karaite please sir if you get a chance? I made the following changes [8] to your version based upon the references mentioned. I hope they are ok. Best regards. Also you might be interested in a deletion discussion going on here [9]. YuHuw ( talk) 11:26, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
We note only that dialect of the Tatar language', which is spoken by Russian Karaites , does not contain the slightest impurity Hebrew words any phrases or other traces of the language, which would have to say their ancestors, if these accurately ancestors were Jews. ... These circumstances unwittingly suggest: ... at least in our eyes ... Karaites ... descendants of the Khazar Turks who, as is known, practiced the law of Moses and held the Crimea from VIII to XI century "

The footballer is not the meaning. The judge is President of the Constitutional Court. You should then consider the importance of the role played, in fact the President of the Constitutional Court is the fifth position in the State and is really absurd to compare it with a modest little-footballer.

Hi, can you tell me what you think of my editing of Panthéon-Assas University?
Someone with different IP addresses try to delete it (Panthéon-Sorbonne page also) and say it is biased, but all my changing are facts with sources. I do not see how it is biased. He refuses to talk. What to do, since there are several IP addresses?
Thanks!-- Launebee ( talk) 12:10, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
My editing seems to be in favour of Panthéon-Assas, but it is only because the previous version were clearly biased in favour of Panthéon-Sorbonne. I only wanted to give a fair presentation of both universities, which have both advantages and inconvenients. In the opposite, the other editor refuses to talk, did not put any disclosure about his links with Panthéon-Sorbonne and wanted to go back with a article with clearly false statements and without sources. I do not thnik it is my editing which is biased in any way. -- Launebee ( talk) 12:41, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for cleaning up after me in Template:Scheduled tribes of West Bengal!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Plebeina hildebrandti, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ndebele.

Let me share one last tid-bit: One of the reasons I've enjoyed the ears of so many around here is that you never know who gets on my nerves and who doesn't. I keep my cards close to my vest, so outside of vandals/socks/trolls, you really have no idea how I feel about much of anyone. But I assure you, I have no less emotion than you about some people, but I find it serves my purposes better to keep emotion out of it, and in return, others don't discount my opinions due to my personal feelings. If you have a good argument (and you usually do) you would be amazed how how persuasive it can be when there is no question that it is based in logic and reason, and not an emotional reaction. When I learned how to do this, an amazing number of doors opened up for me.
I'm here to inform you that I have gone ahead and closed your RfA early per WP:SNOW. I did this as to not hash out something that might make you feel uncomfortable. If you want to continue the RfA, I will not object to a reversal of the close.— cyberpower Chat:Online 14:22, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

RfA's certainly no pleasant experience, that's for sure. Regardless, I wish you the best of luck; I think the most valuable lesson I learned after mine was that so much can be done on Wikipedia even without the tools. In any event, wishing you well. GAB Hello! 00:56, 5 April 2016 (UTC) |

The article Dr Shivam Dwivedi 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. Whpq ( talk) 13:36, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
