Speedy deletion ↗ nomination of :Ryan Grantham ↗

48px|left|alt=|link= ↗
{{Quote box|quote=<p>If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article ↗.</p><p>You may want to consider using the Article Wizard ↗ to help you create articles.</p>|width=20%|align=right}}
A tag has been placed on :Ryan Grantham ↗ requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion ↗, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion ↗, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryan Grantham ↗. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Ryan+Grantham|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here ↗.  <b>St</b>Anselm ↗ (talk) 18:05, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

Kaitlyn Dever ↗

Kaitlyn Dever and Mady Dever released the song Poison under the name Devers. Did Beulahbelle change its name to Devers or did Kaitlyn Dever and Mady Dever form a new band called Devers? Also, should I add to Kaitlyn Dever's Wikipedia page that Beulahbelle changed her name to Devers because Kaitlyn Dever and Mady Dever released the song Poison under the name Devers. Should I add that informations to Kaitlyn Dever's Wikipedia page?
I would appreciate an answer. KenanTsubasa (talk) 09:30, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

:Oh, my gosh, you have no idea how happy it makes me to see that they're releasing music again! I think because of this, though, there are going to have to be substantial edits to the structure of the final part of the Music section. Their Instagram confirms that they have officially changed their name from Beulahbelle, so the section should now make it clear that "Raleigh" was the final single release and the cover with Z Berg was the final release completely from Beulahbelle, that the two started teasing music under the new name in August, and that now they've released Poison. If you want to make that change, go for it! If you want me to, let me know! Either way, this news thrills me! Animaldoctor (talk) 17:03, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

''Zaglossus attenboroughi ↗''

I want to avoid an edit war, but ABC reported today that this echidna was found in Papua/Indonesia. Bearian (talk) 18:19, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

:Shoot, I might not be the right person to make those geographical calls, then. I kept getting confused about if there was a Papua in Indonesia or if the New Guinea Papua was the one being talked about, so yeah, I think the geography is just confusing me. Animaldoctor (talk) 19:47, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
::I know, it's confusing. Indonesia controls the western 1/3 of New Guinea. The middle and eastern regions constitute the country of Papua New Guinea ↗. Both parts are east of the Wallace Line ↗, so they lack large placental mammals and have monotreme ↗s and marsupial ↗s. English Wikipedia coverage of Papua is terrible. I just sourced Huon Gulf ↗ after almost 16 years. Bearian (talk) 00:03, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
:::Fascinating. Okay, that makes complete sense. Then yeah, I might not be the right person to make the appropriate changes at the moment, but maybe it's worth expanding the coverage for Papua at some point! Animaldoctor (talk) 02:09, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
