Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

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.

Hello, The Anome. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Advanced Doped Pellet Technology".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! DreamRimmer bot II (talk) 23:23, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello, The Anome,

Thank you for creating Paul Chambers (academic).

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Hi The Anome, all the citations you've used in the article indicate that this may be a case of WP:BLP1E. Is there any other coverage on them besides being arrested for lèse-majesté?

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|TarnishedPath}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Many of the reports already describe him as a distingushed academic, and he is a senior member of two well-respected research institutes. If you have a problem with his notability in this regard, change the topic to Prosecution of Paul Chambers, and you have instant notability for that topic. — The Anome (talk) 10:23, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Prosecution of Paul Chambers is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prosecution of Paul Chambers until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

A tag has been placed on Category:Freedom of speech in Thailand indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:18, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

• Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
• An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
• An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Hi The_Anome,
A user recently asked me a question on my talk page regarding One Morning in May (folk song), specifically referencing James Taylor’s version from the album One Man Dog. Since I’m not sure how to handle these kinds of song-related queries — whether it’s appropriate to cite such versions, mention them in the article, or redirect the user elsewhere — I wanted to ask for your advice.
Since you're an experienced editor, I was wondering how you'd approach this kind of query. Is it appropriate to respond with sourcing advice, or should I redirect the user elsewhere? —— 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 10:48, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

This is a special case; not only is it in the news, but it's guaranteed to become of lasting notability. As a bill that has passed parliamentary scrutiny, it will now become law, probably within days. When that happens, it will only need an article rename and a few words changed to become an article about the Act. Also note that now the bill has been passed by Parliament, its wording cannot change in the slightest, except through legislation, so any content about the bill is guaranteed to be in the Act. — The Anome (talk) 20:49, 15 May 2025 (UTC)
