UPDATE: Removed nomination for deletion. Replaced with notability tag. Question regarding subject's notability remains as his post to the World Bank may not be significant enough to warrant BLP in and of itself. As subject's ambassadorship to Panama was never voted on by the Senate, its mere occurance should not constitute significant notability. More source material is needed to establish notability, and I am unable to find any. If no secondary source material can be found to arguably meet notability threshold, then this page should be considered for a deletion nomination.

Notifying you that I have nominated page Erik Bethel for deletion. Page lacks secondary source material (announcements by White House communications is primary). I am unable to find source material outside the page to suggest that the subject meets notability requirements for BLP

Hi Snickers: see the Wikipedia article entitled “Same-sex marriage in Hawaii.” It discusses the Jackson v. Abercrombie case in detail and supports my explanation that it was the Hawaii legislature that achieved marriage equality in Hawaii, not the Jackson case. Indeed, the District Court in Jackson rejected marriage equality. The Ninth Circuit on appeal only vacated the District court ruling on mootness grounds in light of the Hawaii legislature’s grant of marriage equality. Jackson did NOT bring marriage equality to Hawaii. The legislature did. Ultimately, the US Supreme Court in Obergefell v. Hodges brought marriage equality to the nation as a whole.

Hello, Snickers2686. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Colleen Holland".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:31, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I note that you have again reverted my edit adding in the name of the nation in which William C Mims was born and works in. Neither time did you provide any reason for your actions. To remove uncontestable information that improves a subject - in that a reader from outside of North America and Europe may not be familiar with the State of Virginia and not know where in the world it might be found - without explanation might be considered slightly uncivil. I suggest that you review many articles with a geographic element, and note that nearly all include the name of the nation (even places like London has England/UK noted, for the benefit of Americans I assume!) I ask that you revert yourself in this matter. Best regards, LessHeard vanU (talk) 15:59, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Where was consensus reached to make such a change? I see no unilateral enforcement among similar judicial officer pages Snickers2686 (talk) 16:09, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Biography#Nationality examples covers the convention of including nationality with biographies. The MoS is the article creators primary toolkit. Other pages deficient in having the nation mentioned is not proof of consensus. Regards, LessHeard vanU (talk) 16:43, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still not convinced it's necessary. Grammatically, it makes no sense. I didn't say other pages are proof of consensus. I asked where you had gained consensus. Snickers2686 (talk) 16:47, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I, personally, have not gained consensus. I work to the consensus that is explicit in the Wikipedia:Manual of Style, the guideline to editing Wilipedia. Regards, LessHeard vanU (talk) 15:03, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@LessHeard vanU It seems like you've been adding the country in many different articles, somewhat haphazardly. For example, you changed "New York City Subway" to "New York City Subway, United States", which does not seem appropriate at all. Aside from the NYC subway not being a place, I doubt there would be a reader that did not know what country New York City is in.

I did a quick search through the MOS and couldn't find any specific guidelines about when to include the country name or not; since you've cited that you are trying to comply with it, could you point to the specific section you're referring to?

Anyway, I do agree that some places may benefit from having the country name added. That said, the reader may always click on (or hover over) the link to the city/state to learn its specific location. I'd say it really depends on the article here. ZLima12 (talk) 06:26, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While the addition of a country to a town/city/state/etc. is a style issue and is open for discussion, there are a number of edits you've made that add a country to a feature such as a university. At least in American English, this is not proper grammar, and would sound wrong to the reader. For example, "Massachusetts, United States" would be alright, but "Harvard University, United States" would sound off. If it were necessary to include location details, something along the lines of "Harvard University, located in the U.S. state of Massachusetts, ..." would sound better.

Hello Snickers2686, and I hope you're well 🙂 When it comes to putting subcats on a page (such as Category:21st-century prime ministers of Somalia to Category:Prime ministers of Somalia) isn't it standard practice to remove the parent category? I'm having trouble understanding why these two about prime ministers are an exception, for future reference. Cheers! Johnson524 21:16, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be frank, I don't understand why there needs to be subcats created of the parent category to begin with, given that there aren't many officeholders in the category Snickers2686 (talk) 21:57, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you removed the reference to a secondary source for the confirmation vote that I added during your cleanup/copy editing at Laura Provinzino. Was there any particular reason you removed it? I've readded it so that we still have a secondary verifiable source. AlexandraAVX (talk) 06:51, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why did I remove it? Simple, it's already sourced and unnecessary. Snickers2686 (talk) 03:51, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
