Speedy deletion nomination of Arahad (disambiguation)
[edit]![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
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 Arahad (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
- disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
- is a redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Hog Farm (talk) 15:47, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Unexplained removal of content
[edit]Hello, I am just curious as to why you removed a large portion of content from 2019–20_coronavirus_outbreak without any discussion. NoahTalk 22:46, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- I am sorry my overreaction on the removal on the article. I did not see that a new article was created and thus interpretted it as a pure removal of content. The section you started on the talk page (which was quite burried by everything else) hasn't really had enough discussion to determine whether or not a new article is needed. I do think the section left behind in the main article does need a bit of work since it became quite small with the split. NoahTalk 22:54, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
- No worries! All the best: Rich Farmbrough (the apparently calm and reasonable) 22:58, 10 March 2020 (UTC).

Misreminiscience
[edit]I tried to skip town, but slid your thank you note under Ritchie333's door instead of yours. I ain't retyping it and can't paste, because I'm as slow as you are fast, but it's on his Talk Page, if you're interested. "Thanks for clearing everything up", it's (ironically?) called. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:27, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note! Unusual delivery. All the best: Rich Farmbrough (the apparently calm and reasonable) 17:35, 23 March 2020 (UTC).
- Have you ever seen the Night Gallery episode "Deliveries in the Rear"? Or the South Park episode "The Death Camp of Tolerance"? Or the Fraggle Rock episode "The Terrible Tunnel"? Or the Tales from the Darkside episode "The Last Car"? Or the Poltergeist episode "III"?
- Well, now is not the time to look inside! So I didn't Wikilink anything good people of the world don't want to know (important things!) Without putting too fine a point on it, I'm currently going nowhere fast, so cheers to amenability-diddly-googley! This shadowy clog at the end of the pipeline will move its ass in good time, and the good shit will flow back into the light before you can say "rat race". Well, not you because you're scary quick, but one.
- Thanks for remaining reasonably apparent, and remember, talking about things makes them happen! InedibleHulk (talk) 04:20, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Gerry Weil albums
[edit]![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Category:Gerry Weil 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!
