==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] of [[:SmarTruck]]==

[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

The page [[:SmarTruck]] has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under [[WP:CSD#G14|section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it was an [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]] disambiguation page which either

:::*disambiguated only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ended in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Is there a primary topic?|primary topic]]);

Under the [[WP:CSD#Articles|criteria for speedy deletion]], such pages may be deleted at any time. Please [[Wikipedia:MOSDAB|see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information]].

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]].

== [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:List of satellites which have provided data on Earth's magnetosphere]] ==

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The article [[:List of satellites which have provided data on Earth's magnetosphere]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:

----

<blockquote>'''No evidence of meeting [[WP:NLIST]].'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:List of satellites which have provided data on Earth&#39;s magnetosphere|the article's talk page]].

Hey Lir, you might want to check out [[Wikipedia:How to rename a page]] which explains how to cleanly move/rename a page while keeping its edit history intact. --[[User:Brion VIBBER|Brion]] 23:52 Oct 3, 2002 (UTC)

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:AirshipJungleman29|~~ AirshipJungleman29]] ([[User talk:AirshipJungleman29|talk]]) 20:02, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Columbus's wife was the daughter of a navigator who worked for [[Prince Henry the Navigator]]. Various sources found by googling have him exploring around Thule, or trading to Madeira, or otherwise exploring or working on a sailing ship. [[User:Vicki Rosenzweig|Vicki Rosenzweig]]

cause ur arguing with a girl whos obviously... um... high spirited.[[User:Stevertigo|Sv]]

Nice clean page you have here, Lir. -- [[User:Zoe|Zoe]]

-----

This is an English-language wikipedia; articles go under their most common English names; the other names are redirects. The same holds true for nicknames: articles under [[Bob Dylan]] ([[Robert Zimmerman]] redirects) and [[Bill Clinton]] ([[William Jefferson Clinton]] redirects).

:When did the policy change, and why do you suppose no one except you noticed? [[User:Koyaanis Qatsi|--KQ]]

Lir, you were blocked by a sysop temporarily, but a number of other contributors disagreed with this decision, and you are now "unblocked".

If you look at my user page, you might find some helpful hints to avoid edit wars. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 18:34 Oct 22, 2002 (UTC)

Lir, I'm wondering why you created the following pages (four of which I just deleted):

* (diff) (hist) . .N The Beltway Sniper; 01:09 . . Lir (moved to "Delete")

* (diff) (hist) . .N Talk:The Beltway Sniper; 01:09 . . Lir (moved to "Talk:Delete")

* (diff) (hist) . .N Delete; 01:09 . . Lir (moved to "Delete123")

* (diff) (hist) . .N Talk:Delete; 01:09 . . Lir (moved to "Talk:Delete123")

* (diff) (hist) . .N Delete123; 01:09 . . Lir (moved to "Delete3432432")

* (diff) (hist) . .N Talk:Delete123; 01:09 . . Lir (moved to "Talk:Delete3432432")

Are you trying to help somehow? Was that a bug? A bizarre accident? The simplest way to move a page is to move it directly to where you want it, and not to two points in between. I'd like to think that you can be a valuable contributor. [[User:Koyaanis Qatsi|--KQ]] 01:16 Oct 23, 2002 (UTC)
