Proposed deletion of Aï Keïta Yara

The article Aï Keïta Yara has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

NN actor... fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR

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.

Nomination of Aï Keïta for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Aï Keïta is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aï Keïta until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Your submission at Articles for creation: 1949 (library) (January 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:1949 (library) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hatshepsut

Hi! I think you may have removed a lot more than you intended on [1]. You may want to take a peek and make sure it was intentional :) Cheers, Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 18:11, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know, I'm not sure how that happened at all! Gingermead (talk) 18:13, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Aliya Ogdie Hassen (January 9)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Mattdaviesfsic was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Aliya Ogdie Hassen and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

Your Guild of Copy Editors requests

Gingermead, you've made three requests on the WP:GOCER page so far this month; unfortunately, the limit is set to two. As it says at the top of the requests page, You may have up to two open requests at any one time. So not only will you have to remove one of your requests, you won't be able to add any until one of your requests has been completed, something that may take a couple of months to occur.

I'm sorry for the bad news. You can remove any of the three you've made so far; it doesn't have to be the most recent one added. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:53, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, thanks for letting me know. I've removed one of my requests now. Gingermead (talk) 22:55, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Keith Seele (January 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Eagleash was:

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Template:Being worked on vs Template:In use

You'll want to use the second one in articles btw. The first one is for discussions noticeboards like WP:BOTN. I've updated Hatshepsut accordingly. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:49, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah ok, thank you for letting me know! Gingermead (talk) 22:06, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GAN for Michael Manley

Hi Gingermead, I noticed you've put in a GAN for Michael Manley. Per the Good Article instructions, GA nominators are expected to be significant contributors to articles they nominate. It looks like you only have 3% authorship of the article. Are you sure you're sufficiently familiar with the article to be able to guide it through the GA process? ♠PMC♠ (talk) 02:15, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
