    Note on WP:CSD#G5 criteria

    FYI. Thanks for looking out for Wikipedia content. You recently tagged Draft:Jilin Medical University for G5 speedy deletion. For future reference:

    This page does not qualify for G5, as it was created before the user was blocked.
    Per WP:CSD#G5Creations in violation of bans, blocks, or general sanctions:

    “To qualify for a ban- or block-based speedy deletion, the edit or page must have been made while the user was actually banned or blocked. A page created before the ban or block was imposed or after it was lifted or expired will not qualify under this criterion.”

    Thanks.— ERcheck (talk) 21:10, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Ok, I understand, and because that’s what I thought it was, since one of the users was blocked. ~ŤheŴubṂachine840 21:16, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    RM for Official Charts Company

    Your RM closure statement at Talk:Official Charts Company#Requested move 31 March 2026 doesn’t really make sense. I suggest you self-revert that closure declaration. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:04, 7 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Draft declined
    Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Your draft submission to Articles for creation has been reviewed but not accepted at this time.
    Feedback
    The reviewer, RangersRus, left the following feedback:
    This draft’s references do not show that the film meets Wikipedia’s criteria for inclusion for films. The draft requires either:

    or multiple published secondary sources that:

    • provide significant coverage: discuss the film in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements;
    • are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
    • are independent: not connected to the film, such as press releases, the studio’s own website, or sponsored content.
    Please add references that meet these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

    Next steps

    • Edit Draft:Regular Show: The Lost Tapes to address the points above, making sure to publish any changes.
    • When you are ready to resubmit your draft for review, click the Resubmit button.

    CSD at Justin Early (Texas politician)

    Hi Cosmic, I just wanted to check in with you after I changed the CSD criterion on Justin Early (Texas politician). Since A1 states ” If any information in the title or on the page, including links, allows an editor, possibly with the aid of a web search, to find further information on the subject in an attempt to expand or edit it, A1 is not appropriate.” I estimated that the article most probably won’t be deleted since there’s a link to the subject’s webpage. I hope that’s ok with you but you also may revert my edit if you disagree with me. Kind Regards – Squawk7700 (talk) 20:36, 12 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Speedy deletion criterion G12 exists to handle obvious copyright violations what what you described. Use {{db-g12}} instead. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 22:42, 12 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Instead of commenting under reports…

    I think it’d be better if they were just removed, as the reports would be unneeded… ~Lofty abyss 19:38, 14 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
