Draft: Megan Tremethick
[edit]Hi Utopes,
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to review my draft. I understand your points that Tremethick was mentioned in the articles but was not the central focus of them, however I’d like to clarify that the actress plays a leading role in nearly every single film referenced in the article, including a leading role in the upcoming resurrection of the well known and beloved classic British Horror label - Amicus productions and she features in the promotional images of several articles listed, including the poster of the new Amicus Film. GuineaPickle (talk) 21:14, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello; I don't doubt that what you've said is the case, and I'm sure that she'll be able to have an article eventually as she does play a leading role in the films listed from what I've seen. However, those facts are not present in the article right now. There is only one line of prose in the article, which is insufficient and doesn't establish why she is notable (even if we both agree that she's been a leading actress in multiple films). More sourced content is required, preferably from sources that talk about Tremethick specifically, and in the ways that she's notable (such as coverage about her in one of the films, and not just a passing mention that she was in it.)
- Out of the films that are listed, only two have articles on Wikipedia, and one of the films is unreleased, meaning that sources are likely to be few on principle for involvement in that one. But what I'd recommend is finding topics that are similar to Tremethick and getting an idea of the structure from those. It looks like Tremethick was in The Lockdown Hauntings with Sarah-Jane Potts, which if you click on her article you can see a well developed article lead, as well as personal life (optional) and filmography section. But the most important section is the lead paragraphs, that explain why she's notable. That much has not yet been done for Tremethick. Hopefully that helps guide you with your draft! Let me know if you have any follow up questions. Utopes (talk / cont) 22:32, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
Hey there, Utopes! I'm so sorry for reverting three of your edits on the Murphy v County Wexford VEC article talk page. I feel like such an idiot but I'll admit it, I've been going through your recent contributions. There was this button called "vandalism" and being an inexperienced user, I clicked it. It then directed me to the Murphy v County Wexford VEC talk page and showed me that I reverted three of your edits. I feel so bad and I hope you understand. Once again, I'm sorry for reverting your edits. CreatorOfMinecraftHerobrine (talk) 20:10, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- LOL! Don't worry, totally an accident, and that's exactly what I thought happened there. I saw that Twinkle was recently recommended to you a couple days ago, and knowing that Twinkle doesn't give a warning pop-up before a rollback, I figured that you were still testing what it can and can't do. We've all been there, I think I did the same thing myself a few years back! 😆 Absolutely all good, and thanks for the apology. ^^ Utopes (talk / cont) 20:18, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

First Time Publishing - Help Needed
[edit]Hi Utopes,
thank you for your comments on my first article. I wanted to ask for your help concerning the notability of the subject: most of the articles were never digitized but are from sources that have their own Wikipedia sites (it’s a well known guitar player that is referred to as legend in many guitar or music magazines such as Relix Magazine, Guitar Player, Guitar Techniques, Guitar World, Downbeat, Premier Guitar, Guitarist, Vintage Guitar, etc., and international magazines (Japan, Thailand, etc.)). I have over 80 official magazines with articles, interviews, lessons, and such (and not only mentions) spanning almost 20 years. Could you tell me how can I include these since they’re not online, please?
Also, the subject has recorded or played live with many A-list celebrities and already has a Wiki-page in German.
Thank you immensely for your guidance. All the best. Ivhutt (talk) 20:32, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Category:15th-century Christian biblical scholars
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Category:15th-century Christian biblical scholars indicating that it is currently empty, 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 it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 01:41, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
VC-7 Squadron
[edit]Thank you for you communication about the VC-7 Squadron. I would like to make the case that the VC-7 squadron is worthy of an article separate from RVAH-7. I have read the RVAH article and the first thing I realized was that unlike VC-7, the mission of RVAH-7 was photo reconnaissance. I think that suggests a strong distinction between the squadrons. VC-7 and the other VC squadrons were created to keep the Navy relevant in the atomic age by proving that planes carrying nuclear weapons could be launched from and returned to carriers. This mission is very different from the stated role of RVAH-7. Though in Navy records the squadrons share a lineage, I believe the distinct missions of the squadrons suggest they should be distinguished from each other. Would a cross reference be appropriate?
