Disambiguation link notification for May 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Non-specific effect of vaccines, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mortality. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Decision to leave

Hey Dai Pritchard, I have to say that looking at this page and finding that you've decided to leave Wikipedia permanently caught me by surprise, and I really do think it's a shame, I definitely value your contributions. I can't count the amount of times that you've beaten me to nominating something for speedy deletion. I guess I'll leave this here in case you ever check back, and I really do think you should reconsider, although I can understand if you've left for personal reasons. Regards, Pishcal — ♣ 04:47, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Whispering sands golf club

Yes, I am offended by your deleting what I had started to write, IT IS AN Encyclopedia - My page was still being edited, I don't have a lot of time to spend writing, if anything I write can be deleted without inquiry as to what the subject matter is about, based upon one individual's limited perspective - then perhaps that is the problem with wikipedia being filled with inaccurate information on many topics. I was giving basic information about Golf club which is normally being done by other golf clubs, however because you "jumped-the-gun" and deleted what I had started without inquiry or directive regarding the information - now I don't have a copy of what was on the page. Thanks for nothing - I will probably not use or contribute nor donate to wikipedia anymore because your "judgmental approach to editing" without first making some type of inquiry is (for lack of time and better terminology) totalitarian, prejudicial in perspective, unwarranted without some type of precursor. To my recollection, an encyclopedia is "a book, set of books, and/or an established media-oriented conduit that enables the free access to information utilized in various formats pertaining to (yet not necessarily limited to) historic, scientific, culture, economic, religious, social and sports context. My page was not being designed to function in anyway that would violate or interfere with the statement: "Although a lot of leeway is allowed in personalizing your user page, it is not a personal website, blog, or social networking medium, nor should it be used to promote myself, or host a fake article, CV, or lengthy biography. My statements, that you deleted, are articles, including historical fact, and biographic information; Not to create a blog, or to a "fake-alias" - if all my content can be deleted before I finish then that should have been stated when I signed-on, having material deleted by someone who just assumes the page is somehow not valid based on personal prejudice and/or incomplete comprehension of what and how something is being presented. Thanks. — Jan2366 (talk) 9:32, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Foley and Jobs

Hi! I clicked the "thanks" button to thank you for this edit. This is because I liked the anecdote in the Mary Jo Foley article where Ms. Foley accidentally sent Steve Jobs away from her Bill Gates interview. :) —Unforgettableid (talk) 17:43, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Bhagawati Prakash Sharma

The article Bhagawati Prakash Sharma has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lots of puffery here, but ultimately insufficient claim to notability. No coverage in secondary sources, and so does not meet WP:GNG. Claims in the article about lots of publications, but cannot be seen on google scholar (suggesting they are from dodgy journals and publishers); research gate link shows much output but no impact (hasn't been cited a single time, thus fails WP:PROF). Vice-chancellor of a private university, but that is insufficient by itself in the absence of any other coverage/impact; private universities in south Asia are very common.

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.
