Speedy deletion nomination of Banlieues Bleues Festival

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Banlieues Bleues Festival requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.), 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 331dot (talk) 08:54, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Georgeivs vid,

As a fellow Wikipedian I do appreciate you contributing to humanity.

Over the last 24 hours you have reverted several edits. The edits meet the required standards for addition into the article.

Since you are designated:

Novice Editor (or Burba)

you may not yet be aware of "edit warring". I have included a link the Misplaced Pages article that contains more details. https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Edit_warring

Specifically, I would like to bring your attention to "Three Revert Rule" (3RR) https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Edit_warring#The_three-revert_rule.

Please refrain from reverting edits that meet Misplaced Pages standards for editorial submission and inclusion to the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/Quentin_Alexander

It is suggested that if you disagree with content included in an article you should bring your concern to the articles "talk" so it can be reviewed by other editors and administrators for comment.

Thank you again for contributing to Misplaced Pages and humanity. Jimgerbig (talk) 05:17, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Quentin Alexander

I've opened a discussion about the age content dispute on the talkpage. Cheers, BlusterBlaster 12:46, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

If you want the established lead to change, you need to get consensus. --NeilN 03:10, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Read the section! One person decided it should be there. it was very non-neutral and even wrong. It shouldn't be there at all!Georgeivs vid (talk) 03:13, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

You are incorrect. Please read Talk:Bill Cosby/Archive 2. --NeilN 03:17, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

That shows that people are sharply divided that anything should be included at all and likely it's still too soon as these all remain accusations. I think it's time to look at IF anything should be included at all, and how to word it NEUTRALLY. By the time you include that he has never been charged or convicted and denies all the accusations it seems to overshadow many much more important aspects of his life, or is that the point? Georgeivs vid (talk) 03:30, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

The lead summarizes the body. The allegations are an important part of the body. It has been suggested a number of times to you to propose your wording changes on the talk page. --NeilN 03:40, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

I have done so. And that lead does a very poor job of summarizing his lengthy career and accomplishments and tries very hard to hang the "RAPIST" sign around his neck. Georgeivs vid (talk) 04:24, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

Nick Fradiani

Can you please stop reverting his birthdate? Why exactly are you doubting it? We all know he is 29, every news source who has interviewed him after his win has stated that. Plus, we know he couldn't be any older than 28 when he auditioned in September 2014 because 28 is the age cutoff to audition for American Idol. And if it's the month and day that you're unsure about...you can go on Twitter and scroll back through his tweets and find multiple people (including his sister) wishing him a happy birthday - ALL of these tweets are on November 15th. November 15, 1985 is clearly his birthdate and as others have told you I think you're edit warring at this point by continuously reverting anyone who adds it. MusicLover (talk) 07:07, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

We need a reliable source for his birthday. He could even say Today ___ is my birthday. But until we have that it is pure speculation and journalists not doing a good job. I will continue to remove poorly sourced, or unsourced content. Georgeivs vid (talk) 20:02, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

And yet his birthdate is the only thing you're complaining about not being sourced. There are much more important things in the article that you could worry about being sourced that are not. Why is there no source for his full name then? His article is far from good article status, so it's really not a necessary to be so picky about sourcing every little thing at the moment. No, it is not speculation. I think his sister would know his birthday. I think the multiple news sources who have listed him as being 29 would know they're talking about too. You can continue to do so but you will eventually be warned for it because it constitutes as edit warring after a certain point. MusicLover (talk) 00:45, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Those are great arguments to remove anything that is not sourced well. I'm not that worried about his name but if you feel strongly about it then you can remove it. We should insist on reliable sources for everything, that's a core pillar. Georgeivs vid (talk) 02:50, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Kimberly Nichole

The article Kimberly Nichole has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Misplaced Pages policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted 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}} 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. ... discospinster _talk 16:32, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
