User talk:Stephenbestk28 - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, Stephenbestk28! Here at Simple English Wikipedia, we use the section heading "Other websites" instead of English Wikipedia's "External links", which you used in "IceTre". This makes it simpler and easier to read. Please remember to use "Other websites" in pages that you create in the future. Thank you for your help! MathXplore (talk) 14:17, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there! Thank you so much for letting me know! I'll take that into high consideration thank you for helping me out! :) Stephenbestk28 (talk) 15:38, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is the only warning you will get for the bad changes you made. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did to Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2024/IceTre, you may be blocked from changing Wikipedia. MathXplore (talk) 11:03, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! The discussion closed with consensus that IceTre does not meet Wikipedia's notability guideline, so I've deleted the article.

I want to emphasize that this deletion is not a statement on the quality of your work. The article you wrote seems exceedingly well-researched, it's simply that Wikipedia is not the place for that type of content. We rely on secondary, independent, reliable sources to publish content about topics that Wikipedians can then use to form an article. This use of secondary sources means we (generally) do not need to interpret primary sources or do the research ourselves, which would be a source of editorial bias and would invite arguments over interpretations of the subject itself rather than the sources available about the subject. It additionally limits the burden of maintaining Wikipedia articles to the topics that secondary sources give time to researching and publishing about.

Assuming you didn't store the content of the article somewhere, I don't want you to lose the work that you put into that (maybe there's another site it can be used on?). If you want me to restore the page and move it into your userspace, I can do so, just let me know. Best regards, Vermont (🐿️—🏳️‍🌈) 02:00, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
