User talk:Koire292

May 2022

Hello, I'm 0xDeadbeef. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Mestizos in the United States, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. 0xDEADBEEF (T C) 08:02, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Articles for Deletion

I noticed that you are attempting to nominate Mestizos in the United States as an article for deletion. The process can be very difficult to get correct and impossible for an unregistered user like yourself to complete the process on your own. As The how to page for an article for deletion states "Only a registered, logged-in user can complete steps II and III. (Autoconfirmed registered users can also use the Twinkle tool to make nominations.) If you are unregistered, you should complete step I, note the justification for deletion on the article's talk page, then post a message at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion requesting that someone else complete the process."

I hope this does not discourage you from making another attempt at nominating the article for deletion.

One last item for now. You should review This article about what Wikipedia is not. Even though you may find the term offensive does not mean the term is not encylopedic.--VViking_TalkEdits 22:41, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Improving articles

I hope you saw my comment. In case you did not: Wikipedia does have articles about racist terms. I am not sure if you will succeed to get this article removed, but we could collaborate to get it accurate. Please let me know if you would like to do that. To start, we will need to identify reliable sources that explain why the term is racist and rejected. CT55555 (talk) 01:56, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Okay, so the thing is there’s already a wikipedia article about the term “Mestizo” itself. The problem with this article called “Mestizos in the United States” is that it presumes "Mestizo" is a real ethnic/racial identity but the thing is there’s no such thing in the US because "Mestizo" is not an official racial or ethnic category in the US. If that's not enough of a reason to warrant a deletion then I guess I'll just leave it be. Koire292 (talk) 05:07, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

I think there is a possible justification for deletion. I think you could have framed it like:

This article is mostly uncited and doesn't support the implication that this group exists. User:Lee_Vilenski did a procedural close, even though the main page still has the AfD deletion template, so maybe it's not fully closed. Lee_Vilenski, would you be willing to re-open? Could User:Koire292 (who is new) be allowed to edit the nomination?

If not, I might nominate it myself, but would first like to get some consensus on how to best go about that. CT55555 (talk) 13:18, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Update/appology, User:Lee_Vilenski was arguing for a close, not making one. Sorry CT55555 (talk) 13:26, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, so what happens now? It’s been a couple of days and I don't think we'll get any more votes. Koire292 (talk) 05:41, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Koire292, an administrator will look at the proposal and make any actions needed (probably 7 days) after your nomination. 0xDeadbeef (T C) 06:15, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

The proposals are "closed" in 7 days usually. I predict your proposal to delete will be accepted and the article will be deleted in about 2 days. For now, just wait and see. CT55555 (talk) 06:16, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

It's deleted! Congrats for your initiative. CT55555 (talk) 01:58, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Please don't remove the diacritics at Aztlán again.

First, the article title - usage must follow the article title. If you think it's wrong, start a move request. Secondly, it was correctly spelled. See some sources. Doug Weller talk 16:16, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Alright, I just think using spanish accent marks on a nahuatl/native word seems off, especially in an english article. I’ll leave it be though. Koire292 (talk) 16:26, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

We go by the most common use in reliable English sources, and that's the way it's spelled by a lot of American academics. Doug Weller talk 16:31, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
