Dear Meno25, I noticed that you removed the website link from the page Airat Ichmouratov. Upon checking, I didn't encounter any phishing warnings. I am wondering if you could kindly put it back. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Patrick0506 (talk) 18:59, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Talk:Eugene SY Chan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.

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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Sagotreespirit (^talk) 23:06, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
