Charles Talbot, 15th Earl of Shrewsbury moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Charles Talbot, 15th Earl of Shrewsbury, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Deprodding of WiMAX

I have removed the {{proposed deletion/dated}} tag from WiMAX, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think this article should be deleted, please do not add {{proposed deletion}} back to the page. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

I don't think nominating it for articles for deletion is a good idea either. Graham87 (talk) 15:47, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, having slept on the problem and thought about it some more, I actually agree with you contesting the deletion after all. I now suspect it wouldn't be too bad to clean up.

1. Change it to "was a standard" or "is an obsolete standard" in accordance with lots of other wireless mobile protocol articles from older generations

2. Provide an intro statement and a citation for it having lost the format war to LTE, ideally with reasoning (some limited research suggested that it didn't work well in moving vehicles, but I want a reliable citation for claims like that)

3. New "decommissioning" section at the end for its code being removed from the Linux kernel due to no known implementations or users worldwide, and related tech WiBro being switched off in South Korea in 2018

4. Article cleanup to remove marketing fluff, outdated predictions of deployment, some jargon

I'll try to tackle it in the future. There's a few other obsolete 3G network standard articles that need the same treatment, someone enthusiastically wrote articles about them in good faith in the 2000s and they never got updated when they didn't catch on. I'm going to add them to my editing list. ElectronicsForDogs (talk) 00:02, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
