Proposed deletion

From WP:PROD, "PROD must only be used if no opposition to the deletion is expected. It must never be used simultaneously with a deletion discussion (AfD or FfD), and it may only be placed on a page a single time. Any editor (including the article's creator or the file's uploader) may object to the deletion by simply removing the tag; this action permanently cancels the proposed deletion via PROD." Please take it to WP:AFD. --Onorem (talk) 12:48, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted your AfD tag and deleted the "discussion" page you created. If you are going to nominate an article for deletion, you must follow the procedure at WP:AFD.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:05, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You must read the page I linked above. If you again create the AfD improperly, you risk being blocked for disruption.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:16, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Might I ask what I did improperly? I accidentally left the new page blank, which I fixed in my second attempt. SK438 (talk) 16:44, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Have you read the link? Specifically, read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#Creating an AfD. There's more you have to do.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:01, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:AFDHOWTO is more detailed and more difficult, but you may wish to look at it.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:04, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sk438, as the other user has said, PROD can only be used one time in a single article. I have read your first PROD tag. Your main complaint was about image misplacement, and while I understand that you criticism was fair, image misplacement is not a fair reason to delete an article (just delete/replace the image and move on, my brother 🙃).

To speak generally, WP articles are only deleted when they don't show that the main subject of the article was covered in some depth by reliable sources, or when something obviously bad happened (author is the person/group covered in the article themselves, article was written by some immediately-obvious troll and makes no sense, article was written by someone who was not even trying to make it Wikipedia-compliant and thus has no hope of being improved by any other Wikipedian in the future). Of course, there are other reasons as well. But in your AfD, however, you didn't show that any of these were the case.

Also, I have been reading your user log and it really does look like you are a WP:Single-purpose account or a sock. You only had 3 contributions to Wikipedia until November 2022 and now 5 months later you came out of nowhere to ask this Predator Poachers article (which is really niche and hard to find, currently) to be deleted. Most of your account activity has been trying to take down this article now.

Are you a fan or associated with Predator Poachers themselves in any way? Also, it completely does not help that your edit to include the prod tag was made in the same week when at least two other accounts (now banned) were trying to vandalize the article by placing promotional content there to the benefit of predator poachers. Aditionally, only one hour after you included your prod tag, another user started blatantly vandalizing the article. I'm not accusing you of vandalizing the article in any way (you haven't, I know that), but I can't help to note the timing of your edits. Are you associated with Predator Poachers in any way? It's not against WP's rules for you to say that you are. 🔥 22spears 🔥 17:49, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Waxworker. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Paul Walker filmography, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Waxworker (talk) 14:17, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
