Disambiguation link notification for February 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 60th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide commemorations in Beirut, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hamra. 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.

Nepalese politicians

Okay thanks-thing was I couldn't even get to the site at all, I tried to shorten it and it didn't work even. So I was unsure of what to say, but thanks again! (I've been the past few days adding stuff to anything on the shortest articles, something I've noticed is that the shortest articles pages are getting longer and longer articles if you count 771 bytes long lol, but a few years ago the 1000 shortest BLP's wouldn't even have anything over 600 bytes even!)

All India Forward Bloc

Hi Soman,
I don't know if this political party is a particular interest of yours, but I see that you created the Satyapriya Banerjee page. I thought you might take a look at the new Rajat Kumar Das BLP to see if it's worth keeping, prodding or even WP:CSD for non-notability. His main claim to fame seems to be that he is their "Central Web Administrator"! Regards, 220 of ^Borg 23:45, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

I'd delete the article. Being a district committee member of a political party is not enough to assert notability. --Soman (talk) 16:06, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the review. May I just ask which site seems to have restricted access? I accessed freely all the sites mentioned in the references. Jan Kameníček (talk) 20:57, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

I was unable to access the harvard.edu link when I did the review, thought it needed password. Now it works, however. Maybe I just had a connection problem. --Soman (talk) 15:28, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

I see, thanks for explanation. Jan Kameníček (talk) 17:38, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

Deletion review

Hi Soman, as you may know this AFD was closed as delete all and I am also shocked to see the outcome. Should we take it to the deletion review? Because the closing admin in his talkpage notice states that if we aren't satisfied with his actions or want them changed, we can take it to deletion review. What do you think? Nomian (talk) 17:32, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Yes, it should go to deletion review. But I think a better first step would be to gather involved editors and develop a consensus on what should be considered criteria for notability of bilateral relations. If billions of dollars of trade annually isn't considered notable, what is? --Soman (talk) 17:59, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

That's a good idea but as far as I have seen, there had been many discussions regarding the criteria for notability of bilateral relations but so far no consensus has been reached to determine it. And I have a feeling that this time also we won't reach any consensus to determine the criteria for notability of bilateral relations. Nomian (talk) 18:11, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Soman, I have decided to take it to the deletion review. Nomian (talk) 16:27, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
