Proposed deletion of Abraxas (Polish band)

The article Abraxas (Polish band) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable band, fails WP:NM

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

October 2010

Thank you for your edit to the disambiguation page MUA. However, please note that disambiguation pages are not articles; rather, they are meant to help readers find a specific article quickly and easily. From the disambiguation do's and don'ts, you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, which should not end with punctuation
Use only one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry, and avoid red links
Not pipe links—keep the full title of the article visible

Thank you. me_and 11:57, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sauti za Busara

Hi Moongateclimber

I am writing from the office of Sauti za Busara. Thank you for starting the Sauit wiki page. We will do our best to keep it up to date.

Also, there is a facebook PAGE for Sauti za Busara see http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sauti-za-Busara/183830174970620

Again, we are pleased that exists but we don't know who created/controls it. These days you cannot see the admin of a facebook page. Is this by any chance a page you have created? If so please can you consider giving us admin rights? We do want to establish a facebook PAGE for Sauti za Busara - and if we cannot get control of this one then we shall need to start a separate "offical" one.

Many thanks in advance Pwezapweza (talk) 15:37, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Moongateclimber

Thank you for your reply - it was somewhat helpful but now I am really confused - is it possible you can contact me directly by email on pwezapweza@gmail.com thanks Pwezapweza (talk) 12:17, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Moongateclimber I see you changed the Wikipedia page for Sauti za Busara. Unfortunately you had misunderstood my communication. For now I have pointed the reference to the Official GROUP on Facebook.

Can I assume from your lack of direct response that you do not know anything about the Facebook PAGE - ie you are not the creator/aministrator?

thanks

Speedy deletion nomination of Msondo Ngoma

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 Msondo Ngoma requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. —Ryulong (竜龙) 09:24, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for missing this article when I created Musawwarat es-Sufra.

Proposed deletion of Harry Belafonte and Miriam Makeba

The article Harry Belafonte and Miriam Makeba has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NALBUM. Both artists are equally notable, therefore per WP:XY there is no obvious redirect target.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Zaiko Langa Langa albums

A tag has been placed on Category:Zaiko Langa Langa albums requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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. Liz ^{Read!

Proposed deletion of Lukho

The article Lukho has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable game. No evidence of coverage in reliable sources. Not even mentioned at mancala to warrant a redirect.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ~ mazca ^talk 00:07, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Use of your artwork licensed under the 'Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license

Hello Moongateclimber,

I recently wrote a short digital work (in French) presenting the rules of the mancala game Bao la kiswahili. This work being in two parts, to embellish it I'd like to include two of your images as cover artwork (with all due credits in the foreword) : - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bao_players_in_stone_town_zanzibar.jpg - http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bao_players_makonde_statue.jpg

To the best of my knowledge, you released the former image in the public domain, whereas the latter is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license. Though I assume that my use of your artwork would fall within the scope of this license (as the license states users are allowed to copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format and makes clear that the use of the material is approved for free cultural works), I'd like to make sure that you don't object to my using it in my small digital book on Bao la kiswahili, which I intend to make available online, free of charge.

Please let me know (bao.la.kiswahili@gmail.com) if you agree to my use of your artwork.

Kind regards, Renaud Mancala (talk) 05:18, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
