Teahouse

Hi! JohnDVandevert, Thank you for volunteering to be a host at the Teahouse. We really appreciate your willingness to help. However, having seen a few of the problems you have got yourself into recently, I have removed your name from the Host list, as I don't think you're quite ready yet. It takes a lot of time, background knowledge and especially patience to answer new editors' questions effectively. So you should probably edit for a while longer before you sign up to be a host, and ensure that your interactions with other editors are always supportive and civil. That said, you're still very welcome to answer any questions there that you can, and we hope you continue to participate and spread the word about the Teahouse to other new Wikipedians. Come back soon! Regards Nick Moyes (talk) 14:57, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

Please feel to re-nominate under a proper criteria found at WP:CSD#List of criteria or any other acceptable deletion process if you feel it does not meet our inclusion criteria.

Your draft article, Draft:Golovanovshchina

Hello, JohnDVandevert. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Golovanovshchina".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If 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.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 15:58, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

Symphony No. 1 in Eb-major moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Symphony No. 1 in Eb-major, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Thank you very much for your diligence. JohnDVandevert (talk) 12:52, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

Baltic Clan

What would make a difference is supporting the article's content with reliable sources, such as newspaper or magazine articles and books, instead of fansites and directory entries and social networking content. Bearcat (talk) 11:58, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

OH! Duh.

I forgot about the reliable sources point. Thank you! JohnDVandevert (talk) 12:44, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Happy Birthday!

Wishing JohnDVandevert a very happy birthday on behalf of the Birthday Committee!   Chris Troutman (talk) 14:51, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Free Music School

The article Free Music School has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Has been tagged for more sourcing for 3 months without improvement. Due to the commonality of the name, searches for this specific school are problematic, but did not turn up enough to show it passes notability.

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.
