Your submission at Articles for creation: Richard James (civil servant) (October 9)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by WikiDan61 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Lots of people get obituaries written about them. Wikipedia would require more in-depth coverage of this person to establish notability.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Richard James (civil servant) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Deletion discussion about Ronnie Bradford (army officer)[edit]

Hello MayneAndRowan, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Ronnie Bradford (army officer), should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ronnie Bradford (army officer).

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Pickersgill-Cunliffe}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

London Fire Brigade categories[edit]

Hi, User:MayneAndRowan. I noticed that you did a series of article edits in which you individually replaced the category 'London Fire Brigade personnel' with the category 'Chief Officers of the London Fire Brigade'. Regardless of their rank, the articles are still about LFB personnel; that categorisation is still relevant and should have been retained. Denoting additional categories is perfectly acceptable (many subjects are listed across multiple, often related, categories) and articles can be efficiently added to new categories using the HotCat tool (see WP:HOTCAT). I just wanted to save you future work. Happy editing - Paul W (talk) 14:08, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Fermín Bouza Brey[edit]

The article Fermín Bouza Brey has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not enough WP:RS coverage to establish WP:NBIO.

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.
