Proposed deletion ↗ of :Johannes Winkler (disambiguation) ↗

left|link=|alt=Notice|48px| ↗

The article :Johannes Winkler (disambiguation) ↗ has been proposed for deletion ↗ because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''Invalid and unnecessary disambiguation page containing the primary topic and only one other topic ↗.'''</blockquote>

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 {{Tlc|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 {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process ↗, but other deletion process ↗es exist. In particular, the speedy deletion ↗ process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion ↗ allows discussion to reach consensus ↗ for deletion.

Hello EIGHTCLOUDS!

The New Pages Patrol ↗ is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.

We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting ↗.

Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.

Kindly read the tutorial ↗ before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page ↗ with questions.

If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider '''applying here''' ↗.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

25px|alt=Information icon|link= ↗ Hello. Thank you for your contributions ↗ to Wikipedia ↗. I noticed that your recent edit to :Viola Concerto (Piston) ↗ did not have an edit summary ↗. You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or to provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances that your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits, an adequate summary may be quite brief ↗.

The edit summary field looks like this:
{{The edit-summary field/OOUI}}

'''Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make.''' With a Wikipedia account ↗ you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting {{myprefs|3|check=Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary}}, and then click the "Save" button.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Igor Malinovsky ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Zürich University ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>

November 2025

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi, and thank you for your edits ↗ to Wikipedia. I wanted to follow up about an edit where, :Adeline Werligh ↗ was removed from a parent category ↗.

This category is part of a group that falls under WP:EGRS ↗, which covers categories based on ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability. These categories are typically set up as '''non-diffusing'''. That means when a page is added to a subcategory like this one, it's still meant to be included ↗ in the parent category as well.

This is important because removing someone from the parent category can unintentionally change who appears to "belong" there. Over time, that can make the main category look less representative than it actually is, which the EGRS guideline is designed to avoid ↗.

If you're not sure whether a subcategory is non-diffusing ↗, you can often check the category page itself; many include a note or template. You can also read more at WP:EGRS ↗ and in the section on the final-rung rule ↗. If you need further help, ask at the Teahouse ↗. Thanks again for contributing, and I hope this helps clarify things! <sup>S</sup>Mason<sub>Garrison</sub> 06:03, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Tagging by category

Could you have a look at WP:CATSPECIFIC ↗ before continuing to add wars, castles, etc to eponymous categories such as Richard of Cornwall ↗? This appears to be "tagging by category" which is specifically deprecated: "Important: All categories form part of a tree-like hierarchy. Do not add categories to pages as if they are tags." There is no hierarchical relationship between Richard of Cornwall and the Barons' Crusade ↗ or Wallingford Castle ↗: neither is a sub-topic of the other, so categorisation here is inappropriate. Thanks. Dave.Dunford (talk) 13:14, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Hi, and thank you for your edits ↗ to Wikipedia. I wanted to follow up about an edit where, :Fujiwara no Kenshi (1057–1084) ↗ was removed from a parent category ↗.

This category is part of a group that falls under WP:EGRSD ↗, which covers categories based on ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, or disability. These categories are typically set up as '''non-diffusing'''. That means when a page is added to a subcategory like this one, it's still meant to be included ↗ in the parent category as well.

This is important because removing someone from the parent category can unintentionally change who appears to "belong" there. Over time, that can make the main category look less representative than it actually is, which the WP:EGRSD ↗ guideline is designed to avoid ↗.

If you're not sure whether a subcategory is non-diffusing ↗, you can often check the category page itself; many include a note or template. You can also read more at WP:EGRSD ↗ and in the section on the final-rung rule ↗. If you need further help, ask at the Teahouse ↗. ''I know that this edit is a little old, but I wanted to make sure that you're aware that you shouldn't be removing 11th-century Japanese women from 11th-century Japanese people'' <sup>S</sup>Mason<sub>Garrison</sub> 04:06, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

:@EIGHTCLOUDS I'm seeing a lot of category-related warning and messages on your talk page, and very little engagement from you with those concerns. Communicate is an important part of the wikipedia project. Can you please start engaging with people's concerns when they're raised on your page? You seem to be making a lot of categories that end up getting nominated for deletion. I think you can advoid that if you start engaging with people's concerns when they're raised on your page. <sup>S</sup>Mason<sub>Garrison</sub> 00:31, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Your contributed article, :Janet Buchanan ↗

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}}
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, ''':Janet Buchanan ↗'''. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – ''':Janet Evra ↗'''. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion ↗. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at :Janet Evra ↗. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page ↗.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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=Janet+Buchanan|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here ↗. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process ↗ and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Vo1d sommoner (talk) 18:02, 20 May 2026 (UTC)
