The article Connor, County Antrim has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article is almost exactly the same as Kells, County Antrim, of which both are one and same place as stated in this article. Difference being Connor isn't an actual settlement but rather a civil parish. This article is also unsourced.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Mabuska ^(talk) 12:03, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

There is a discussion starting up at Talk:Batavia (disambiguation), that may be of interest to you. The subject is technically a page move discussion, but the purpose of the discussion is to decide where Batavia should redirect. Until earlier today, Batavia redirected to History of Jakarta, but during this discussion, it is redirecting to Batavia (disambiguation). Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for your help. HuskyHuskie ( talk) 22:42, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

The article Ballymully Glebe has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lack of notability. Whilst it is the townland where Tullyhogue Fort is located, it doesn't merit its own article on that basis as the Tullyhogue Fort article covers it.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Amber Airways, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://amber.clearfield.com/demo/amberairways.php.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article 1642 in Ireland is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/1642 in Ireland until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.

I notice you uploaded four pictures of a Laura Ashley protest at commons:Category:Laura Ashley and commons:Category:Protests in Dublin but I was unable to understand the context. What are the pictures about? Why did the protest occur? Is the outcome known? I also took the liberty of wikilinking one of your pictures using this code: [[:en:Laura Ashley plc|Laura Ashley shop]]'. I think if you added a few words of context to support the pictures, it would give them added value for the viewer. — O'Dea ( talk) 21:46, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Chinguetti Airlines requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Russavia ^{Let's dialogue} 18:49, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on 1200 in Ireland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

• Further information and references added to the article to remove the threat of speedy deletion. This should not have been recommended for speedy deletion - it was not unsourceable and the nominator could have found and added sources if they could have been bothered. Ardfern ( talk) 21:53, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

You created this article in 2006. That's 4 years you had to "be bothered". So please don't shake your finger at me. SonofSetanta ( talk) 11:31, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

• The fact that I created an article does not mean that I own it or have personal responsibility for it. It was a stub to be built on by others through collaborative effort. No matter what, speedy deletion was not appropriate. Ardfern ( talk) 11:48, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

You're kicking against the pricks. You know you should have done the work. SonofSetanta ( talk) 12:53, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

• So should you - so easy to delete - so hard to be constructive. Cheers. Ardfern ( talk) 12:59, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

I used that argument with someone else and their answer was that they thought Wikipedia was improved by deleting. Who's right and who's wrong? At any rate you've soorted it now so nothing's lost. SonofSetanta ( talk) 16:50, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
