John Duncan WinslowThere is a book currently in existence (on Kindle) that depicts the history of the Blues, entitled "The Origin of 20th Century Music on Urantia", supposedly written, not by a human author, but by "angels" who give an eyewitness account of 'the birth of the blues". In the final chapters, the famed "crossroads" (Legend has it where the first guitarist to play the blues got his talent by in return for 'selling his soul to the devil") but, in "Origins", was actually where he met his maker after a deadly railroad accident that happened at a railroad crossing in Moorehead, Mississippi. The railroad crossing is known as "Where the Southern cross the dog", and where 7 people lost their lives. This makes complete sense, because it is a known fact, the first blues song ever heard was noted b W.C. Handy who claims he heard it in a Tutwiler, Miss. train station in 1907, where he saw a black man sliding a penknife over the strings of his guitar while singing "I'm going where the southern cross the dog", the railroad crossing accident depicted in "The Origin of 20th Century Music" account, and the legendary place where the blues was born. Other artists such as Louis Armstrong have also written songs entitled "Where the Southern Cross the Dog". This event is, at least, legendary. Ottawa roadsI hadn't actually seen that; I caught the ones I did only by reviewing the edit history of a problematic editor who's been creating new articles about non-notable roads in the past few weeks. I'd have to agree that the vast majority of them don't have any demonstrated or sourced notability per our actual inclusion rules about roads — I haven't reviewed them all comprehensively, but about the only ones I could defend just by seeing the name are Bank Street (the east-west dividing line), Confederation Boulevard (the ceremonial boulevard that connects the major political institutions), Nicholas (unusual as a city street that's actually part of the National Highway System as a connecting link between the Queensway and Quebec's A-50), Rideau, Sussex and Wellington. Some others might be possible with the investigation, but those are the only ones that land as automatic no-brainers. I'm not sure I'd want to actually tackle them all by myself, though.

MB 03:28, 5 June 2017 (UTC) BarelIn a situation like that, I would just withdraw the AFD. We have the ability to revision delete individual edits from the history, instead of necessarily having to delete the whole thing and restart from scratch just because there's problematic content in its history — but we don't need an AFD discussion to weigh in before we can do that, and sometimes we just wouldn't bother if the problematic edits didn't have WP:BLP implications about a real person (although in this case I see that it might be worthwhile, as the article has a very longstanding history of being wrong.) So if you feel really strongly that we should strip the unverifiable village in Kashmir from the edit history, you can always still propose that on the article's talk page — the AFD doesn't have to close that way for it to still be an option.

Great that you are adding or improving coordinates! Could you possibly please indicate a source for the coordinates, though, per recent/ongoing discussion now at wt:NRHP#footnoting coordinates. May I assume you figured out the coordinates using Google satellite view or Bing maps satellite view in conjunction with your reviewing NRHP documentation or your personal knowledge from visiting the place. If so, then the current practice would be for you to source your username, so add "source:MB", per that discussion. Please feel free to comment there, and I will also try to watch for any response here. Any which way, thanks for the coordinates there. --doncram 02:21, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Your help desk questionYou didn't get a response to your template question. Have you tried WP:VPT?— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:16, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
LegacyNeighbourhoods can be a bit tricky under WP:GEOLAND: the difference between a neighbourhood that qualifies for an article and one that doesn't would obviously hinge on whether the neighbourhood was reliably sourceable as a well-established community with a documentable and notable history, or just a veiled advertorial for a residential subdivision. Legacy definitely tipped over into the latter, so I've submitted an AFD nomination on it — but when it comes to the other neighbourhoods, each one would have to be carefully evaluated on its own merits for which side of the line it falls on, and whether the sourcing was repairable to a keepable standard or not. So we can't just do a blanket mass nomination on all 100+ neighbourhoods in one shot, but the other articles aren't in and of themselves a reason why Legacy would need to be kept either. Hope that clarifies things a bit. Bearcat (talk) 15:14, 21 June 2017 (UTC) AWBHi, I approved your request for AWB. Check out the manual for how to use it!

I would have spent some time expanding the article, and confirming details about the Chicago bust and statue as well. It appears there are 3 works here: the bust in Houston, the (gone) bust in Chicago, and the replacement statue in Chicago. These three works all described in a single article would make a nice addition to the encyclopedia, but knowing how AfD works, editors will see the stub, assume there is no content to add, and cast their deletion vote. So, I'm less likely to spend my time expanding the article now that it has been nominated for deletion. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:14, 20 July 2017 (UTC) Remove material cited to original sources per WP:BLPPRIMARY at Kerima (actress)Please discuss this at the talk page: Talk:Kerima_(actress). Please do not discuss using edit summaries. Best regards CapnZapp (talk) 09:48, 24 July 2017 (UTC) Hello. I believe that my evocation of WP:BLPPRIMARY to remove material on Kerima (actress) is entirely justified. In this case, it is being used in an attempt to reveal or speculate on her "real" name. As the name uncovered in these primary sources is not available in any of the third-party sources in the article, I believe that it is a personal detail covered by the BLPPRIMARY policy, which is invoked often (usually with pornographic actors) to protect their real names.

I clicked on the "discuss" in the banner and it took me to Talk:University of the West of England, Bristol but I didn't find any section "Merger proposal" to discuss the rationale for this. Could you add your reasoning & I will comment.— Rod talk 14:33, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
