Speedy deletion nomination of Kanzi (disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Kanzi (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
  • disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

Violating rules Quoting non-English sources on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17

According to Wikipedia:Verifiability#Quoting_non-English_sources When quoting a non-English source (whether in the main text, in a footnote, or on the talk page), a translation into English should always accompany the quote. I did exactly that. Note that deleting important information backed by the sources may be qualified as vandalism. I hope you just did not see my translation --Ilya (talk) 17:06, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

  • Reedy, I'm concerned with your behavior on this article. First, Russian sources are not disallowed. In fact, using only Western sources is what could cause us to have a systematic bias. Not only that, but why are you using sysop tools on articles you've edited?--v/r - TP 17:40, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Struth! Didn't take you long to get this one locked down, did it? [1]. Please see MH370 and the reasons given there for NOT locking down these types of article. 82.31.18.26 (talk) 18:13, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Even worse! I see you created it, and within 1.5 hours you'd protected it. What bad form. 82.31.18.26 (talk) 18:16, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Is indefinite time necessary? Why not one year or two? --George Ho (talk) 19:16, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Maintenance script

Just curious, what's the deal with this Maintenance script? Not a registered user, but has somehow made a page move. The username was automatically reported to AIV for meeting the page move throttle. — MusikAnimal talk 23:02, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
