<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|42px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article '''[[Daoud Bokhary]]''' is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].
== Oh jeez ==


The article will be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daoud Bokhary]] until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. <small> [[User:STSC|STSC]] ([[User talk:STSC|talk]]) 02:00, 13 June 2011 (UTC)</small>

==Page Merge?==
It is my sense that batch AfD nominations should only be done when all articles nominated are substantially similar, so I think it was an error to include [[List of common Chinese surnames]] which is not in the same style as the rest. In that case, it should only have been listed individually, if at all. I've stricken it from the nomination, restricting the nomination to the remaining similar articles. Hopefully you can clarify your comment now. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks. [[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]]·[[User talk:Dmcdevit|t]] 09:18, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Cab! I have noticed that there are two pages on Americans abroad, [[American diaspora]] and [[Emigration from the United States]]. I think that these two pages should merge into one.

I realize and understand your frustration with Dongwenliang, but such statements as "If you want credit for your amazing ability to copy stuff out of newspapers and translate it badly, go elsewhere," are incivil, however true they may be.

== Islamic Association of China ==
== D. Bokhary ==


I don't know who he is; I have got nothing against this person. I might like him if I met him in person, but that's not the point. Your article on this person was just OTT and it seemed like promoting the Bokhary family. I've tried to improve the article up to my limit as I could not find any further sources to back his notability. I do hope that you can find some off-line documents relating to this person so that the article may stay. [[User:STSC|STSC]] ([[User talk:STSC|talk]]) 15:04, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
hi there, there's a fellow [[user:7day]] who insists that Islamic Association of China is called the Chinese Patriotic Islamic Association yet there is no mention of this "Chinese Patriotic Islamic Association" only mention of a Islamic Association of China in http://english.people.com.cn/whitepaper/18.html. yet [[user:7day] chidlishly reverts any attempt to fix this misnomer with comments such as "this is ridiculas stock puppets are destroying this page and the related pages". also perhaps you can read a little Chinese "中国伊斯兰教协会" translates into Islamic Association of China, correct? perhaps you could have a chat with the chap and try to sort this mess out. cheers.

OK, understood. I would appreciate not being blocked by gangs in the future though. Should I also put a citation about there being Koreatowns in all of the other cities that are not cited? Should I put random fact tags through the rest of the article? I'll find a ref to cite for the one that I have removed before in the meantime but please answer my question seriously and don't accuse me of anything again.

My original intention wasn't to piss you off. That was probably a bad idea especially since I have read your user page and found your interests are very similar to mine. You must understand though the little battle people got into with me was a bit much to handle- I was banned for editing my own talk page and only two of the people attacking me actually read my original edits. The ten or so people that were discussing what to do almost unanimously decided not to ban me until one over zealous guy who had no business in the conversation joined in and thought he was going to anyway. Forgiveness would be appreciated. [[User:Swatpig|Swatpig]] 10:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


== Muslims in Hong Kong ==

Hi,
Are there enough sources out there to do a [[Muslims in Hong Kong]]? I randomly came across this article[http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/ant/others/Muslims%20in%20HK.pdf] on a Google search. Granted, it was written by an undergrad. I haven't explicitly tried to find information on the subject, and the only other information I came across was that they're trying to redevelop the land where that old mosque sits in Central, next to the outdoor esculators. Anyway, if you develop an article like this, let me know, I wouldn't mind helping.

Thanks for clearing that up, I see where the capitalization error was now. The accidentally-created page has been deleted. Just to clarify, {{tl|db-owner}} is what you use if you have a subpage in your user space you wish deleted (you may use that even if the page was intentionally created and you just don't need it anymore). {{tl|db-author}} is the one to use if you mistakenly create a page, and want it deleted before anyone else makes a significant contribution. With odd cases like that, you also can use just {{tl|db}}, and use an explanation as the argument to the template. Thanks!

Wasting everyone's time[edit]

Can I make a suggestion that instead of doing things like this, you actually try and reference it yourself? It took all of 10 seconds to find a source listing the Vice Presidents of Palau. Number 57 14:53, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

D. Bokhary[edit]

I don't know who he is; I have got nothing against this person. I might like him if I met him in person, but that's not the point. Your article on this person was just OTT and it seemed like promoting the Bokhary family. I've tried to improve the article up to my limit as I could not find any further sources to back his notability. I do hope that you can find some off-line documents relating to this person so that the article may stay. STSC (talk) 15:04, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:HaneulsaekKohyang.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:HaneulsaekKohyang.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:26, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 6[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mongolians in Japan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mongolian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Chengzhi Co., Ltd requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. creffett (talk) 01:30, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notice

The article Ethnic Vietnamese (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation is not required. Ethnic Vietnamese redirects to Vietnamese people, which has a section Vietnamese people#Diaspora, with a {{main}} hatnote to Overseas Vietnamese (to which Việt Kiều redirects)

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.
