- you should read COI, independent verifiable sources notability,no-promotion, NPOV and copyright. Writing an article is difficult, and just dumping text and hoping for the best is not a good strategy. Everything you write must be in your own words, sourced to independent verifiable sources and be neutral in tone and without opinions. You must also declare any conflict of interest.

I have closed your nomination at ITNC for now. While your nomination was certainly done in good faith, the current state of affairs is not serious enough for ITN. I hate to say it, but fires and other natural events that don't cause very extensive damage or loss of life generally don't get posted. Please feel free to renominate if the situation gets much worse. Thank you for your contributions to the project. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:20, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- Your nomination has been re-opened given developments in the last 24 hrs. -Ad Orientem (talk) 00:49, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not move a page to a title that is harder to follow, or move it unilaterally against naming conventions or consensus, as you did to Palisades Fire. This includes making page moves while a discussion remains underway. We have some guidelines to help with deciding what title is best for a subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Also, please do not blank redirects. If you want to delete a redirect then you need to tag it for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Inspiring Stories
[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 Inspiring Stories 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 web content that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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.
