The article Pablo Hidalgo has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
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.

Hi! I've been going through User:Lettler's article creation history and found one I think is notable and can be kept (definitely not any of the sportspeople, since I think they would all fail our current NSPORTS requirements). Specifically List of mass shootings in Germany seems like a notable enough list and I also checked it out on the Wayback Machine to verify its content. Looks properly referenced as well. I would like to take responsibility for the article. Would you be willing to undelete it? Silver seren C 18:51, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi
I found you on adoption page and thought I'd ask if you would take me on.
I have tried with two other mentors initially.
Zippybonzo took me on but got busy and ToastGuard didn't have an opening when I went back.
If your interested you might have a look at the little I have contributed (and possibly the questions I have asked Zippybonzo on his Talk- some archived) and get an idea of where I am coming from and if I'd be of any interest.

Hi,
I don't know much about editing Wikipedia or what the rules are, so I am reaching out to someone who might have a little more knowledge.
For many years there has been a racist attack by a group of people to make sure actor/musician Eric West does not have a Wikipedia page, they purposely remove his name from the cast credits on pages about films or shows he's been in. Spends hours of their life to search Wiki just to see if his name is on any pages. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Fortress_(2021_film)&action=history
Fortress, Satisfaction, Hey Girl
The user: Duffbeerforme has constantly tried to have his name removed from any page on Wiki, along with another group of people who have blocked his page from being made on Wikipedia. see here. [1]
He's is an successful model that has been the face of major campaigns and fashion week runways around the world, a Billboard charting producer, songwriter AND record label (Eric West Management) on various Billboard charts on Eric’s own record label, an award-winning actor (Hey Girl, Satisfaction, Fortress, Late Show with Steve Colbert), and been considered a style icon by GQ and has been covered by every major outlet there is GQ, Esquire, Complex, Hollywood Reporter, In Style, Golden Globes, Vibe.
Based on the Billboard charts alone, he would be eligible for a page. The bigger issue is how there are people masked as editors on Wiki who are going against its own guidelines and should not be allowed on the platform. As someone that knows him personally, he's fine and he doesn't care, but I do. I hope someone at Wiki can look at this so that this doesn't happen in the future when people have a vendetta against you.

I'm just catching up on things that have happened here in the bast few months, so please forgive me if this have been discussed before. As one of the people who nominated Lourdes for her second RfA, do you have any thoughts on how such situations -- i.e. the nomination of a previously banned admin for administrator -- can be avoided in the future? In retrospect were there any warning signs that were overlooked? Do you have any thoughts about institutional measures which can be put in place to reduce the possibility of such a thing happening again, or do you feel that the case was entirely sui generis and that there is not need for any additional protocols?

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi! I've been going through User:Lettler's article creation history and found one I think is notable and can be kept (definitely not any of the sportspeople, since I think they would all fail our current NSPORTS requirements). Specifically List of mass shootings in Germany seems like a notable enough list and I also checked it out on the Wayback Machine to verify its content. Looks properly referenced as well. I would like to take responsibility for the article. Would you be willing to undelete it? Silver seren C 18:51, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi
I found you on adoption page and thought I'd ask if you would take me on.
I have tried with two other mentors initially.
Zippybonzo took me on but got busy and ToastGuard didn't have an opening when I went back.
If your interested you might have a look at the little I have contributed (and possibly the questions I have asked Zippybonzo on his Talk- some archived) and get an idea of where I am coming from and if I'd be of any interest.

Just want to continue to show how Eric is the ONLY cast member they target and remove.

Hi,
I don't know much about editing Wikipedia or what the rules are, so I am reaching out to someone who might have a little more knowledge.
For many years there has been a racist attack by a group of people to make sure actor/musician Eric West does not have a Wikipedia page, they purposely remove his name from the cast credits on pages about films or shows he's been in. Spends hours of their life to search Wiki just to see if his name is on any pages. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Fortress_(2021_film)&action=history
Fortress, Satisfaction, Hey Girl
The user: Duffbeerforme has constantly tried to have his name removed from any page on Wiki, along with another group of people who have blocked his page from being made on Wikipedia. see here. [1]
He's is an successful model that has been the face of major campaigns and fashion week runways around the world, a Billboard charting producer, songwriter AND record label (Eric West Management) on various Billboard charts on Eric’s own record label, an award-winning actor (Hey Girl, Satisfaction, Fortress, Late Show with Steve Colbert), and been considered a style icon by GQ and has been covered by every major outlet there is GQ, Esquire, Complex, Hollywood Reporter, In Style, Golden Globes, Vibe.
Based on the Billboard charts alone, he would be eligible for a page. The bigger issue is how there are people masked as editors on Wiki who are going against its own guidelines and should not be allowed on the platform. As someone that knows him personally, he's fine and he doesn't care, but I do. I hope someone at Wiki can look at this so that this doesn't happen in the future when people have a vendetta against you.

Thank you for your help. I'm not sure if I know how to make a draft but I'll ask around and see if there is anyone else that can.

Thanks for uploading File:Wanko to Kurasou cover.jpg. 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) 18:55, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

I'm just catching up on things that have happened here in the bast few months, so please forgive me if this have been discussed before. As one of the people who nominated Lourdes for her second RfA, do you have any thoughts on how such situations -- i.e. the nomination of a previously banned admin for administrator -- can be avoided in the future? In retrospect were there any warning signs that were overlooked? Do you have any thoughts about institutional measures which can be put in place to reduce the possibility of such a thing happening again, or do you feel that the case was entirely sui generis and that there is not need for any additional protocols?

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

Hello, SoWhy. I have seen that you have edited some articles about euro coins. Could you upload images (the design until 2007) of the 1 euro, 50, 20 and 10 cent coins for the respective articles? I tried but they have been deleted and I don't know how to do it correctly. Thank you so much. Fernan860 ( talk) 20:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
