Arbitration

• Due to the result of a recent motion, a rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard may impose an expanded topic ban on Israel, Israelis, Jews, Judaism, Palestine, Palestinians, Islam, and/or Arabs, if an editor's Arab-Israeli conflict topic ban is determined to be insufficient to prevent disruption. At least one diff per area expanded into should be cited.

Miscellaneous

• Voting in the 2026 Steward elections started on 06 February 2026 at 14:00 (UTC) and will end on 27 February 2026 at 14:00 (UTC). The confirmation process for current stewards is being held in parallel. You can automatically check your eligibility to vote.

Good morning!

I’m relatively new here so not sure if this is the right place, but I’m just querying the deletion of this page? It seems it was done for lack of references, or for linking out of user space? However I’m not sure where this was the case.

Thanks in advance, and have a good day :) Notconnor (talk) 20:11, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Notconnor and thank you for your message! Your page was not deleted, it was simply moved to the draft space so that you can work on it further because a reviewer (not myself) believed it needed additional improvements before becoming an article. You are free to access and improve the article here. The reason it shows as deleted is just because we don’t allow pages to redirect to the draft space, however, that is not your fault here. Let me know if that makes sense and if there’s anything else I can help with. Thanks! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 20:23, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mubarik haldoor! I'm happy to help, but I don't quite understand what you're asking. This is the English Wikipedia, so if that is what you mean, then you are in the right place! - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 14:19, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
