| So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. | |||

| == Newington Railroad Depot == | |||
| Hi, I'm writing to ask you to please revert the recent good-faith renaming of article ] to ]. The edit comment notes that the renaming was done per ], which is "a standard naming convention for transit stations – including intercity rail, commuter rail, rapid transit, light rail, and bus rapid transit – in the United States." However, the topic of this Misplaced Pages article is not any of those; it is a historic building not used as an actual station since 1934. It is listed on the ] as "Newington Railroad Depot", which is its common name the article should continue to be named as such. Hence my request, which I hope you can give favorable consideration to. Thank you. ] (]) 17:00, 6 October 2023 (UTC) | |||

Hello, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Unknown Page Name requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.
