Welcome to my talk page!

If you are adding a new comment section, please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
If your comment is about an article, please consider adding the comment to the article's talk page, instead of adding it here. Wikipedia is a community effort, and other editors might have valuable opinions. You could add a comment here to let me know about your comment on the article's talk page. If I think your comment is about an article I may move it there and leave a note here saying I did so.
I absolutely hate conversations that thread across multiple pages. If you add a comment here, I will reply here. If I left a comment on your talk page and you reply here, I will move your reply back to your talk page. Please add this page to your watchlist to be informed when I reply.
Thanks for stopping by!

Request for deletion of a redirect page which is not even a require[edit]

Greetings @Ivanvector, i would like to draw your attention at the Ahmedabad Titans page which is redirected to a Gujarat Titans, which is a team in IPL. To keep Ahmedabad Titans page doesnt make sense because the team were never been called by ahmedabad titans as such or it is never been used by that name. So if it is right to raise a deletion of this page or not, wants your view on this? If yes, could you please raise the deletion request for that?

A head's up[edit]

Hello, Ivanvector,

I just came across four Draft talk pages from drafts you deleted earlier today. If you use Twinkle>CSD>Pick appropriate criteria, then Twinkle will delete not only the draft article but also the talk page along with any redirects that exist. It's not just you, by the way, it seems like there are several admins who periodically forget to delete the Talk pages when they delete the Article page. Hence, I'm posting this reminder in case you delete pages manually instead of using editing tools like Twinkle. Thanks very much! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:10, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Liz! I think that's actually from the CSD Helper script from User:Ale_jrb/Scripts. I might need to look at the configuration options, but it seems to get confused about talk pages. Sometimes it notifies me to delete a talk page that already doesn't exist, and other times it doesn't notify me at all, and then whatever happens it boots me back to CAT:CSD so then I have to go through my contrib history to follow up. I should probably just use Twinkle. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 19:15, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion under A7[edit]

I have created a page hours ago about a terrorist who has become active recently after 10 years. Therefore I created a page giving citation from three independent and famous news websites in our country. He has become active in the social media and asking for violence to his followers passively. So I felt there should be a page under his name so that people who don't know him should know his past.

I wrote nothing negative. Just wrote some neutral sentences with citing news articles, and thought of adding some more after sleep.

The page was deleted due to a speedy deletion under A7 tag. I was asleep so I couldn't challenge it. By visiting his talk page, it seemed to me that the person who placed the tag has a record of removing contents that lead to Islamic State.

What do you suggest? Kawrno Baba (talk) 05:58, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
