Speedy deletion of V2Ray

The page V2Ray has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it was a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

October 2025

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to V2Ray, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. The article currently only has one source that discusses the subject specifically and in depth. Please do not remove the maintenance template without at least adding sources or getting consensus on the talk page. Thanks. —Rutebega (talk) 21:11, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rutebega Tbh, I find the notability templates useless. One either finds more sources and adds them to the article or does not and therefore nominates the article for an AfD. The template is something in-between and usually remains there for months, even years in some cases which has no function other than cluttering the article. As for the article in question I highly recommend taking it to AfD if you see an issue with notability. Xpander (talk) 21:37, 16 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A bare URL and missing title error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 10:53, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relevance challenged

Greetings. How is this link relevant to the article on David G. Carlson? The subject's name is not even mentioned anywhere. -The Gnome (talk) 19:29, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @The Gnome. I know your editing is in WP:Good faith. But you have to be more thorough when checking and thereby deleting sources from an article. Even though the previous page number citations were ''not'' incorrect, I updated them to be more accurate. Best. Xpander (talk) 19:40, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just so that I understand: The previous citation, the one I deleted, was indeed incorrect? -The Gnome (talk) 19:44, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your deletions were incorrect. @The Gnome Xpander (talk) 19:45, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 1

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Gary Gutting, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Saint Louis University. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 08:02, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Xpander. Thank you for your work on Robert Pfaller. Another editor, Mariamnei, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thank you for your work on this article. Since it falls under WP:BLP, please add footnotes to back up each claim with a reliable source. Please also fix the errors in the footnotes. Thanks and have a good day!

Hi @Mariamnei, Thanks for your comments, I've fixed errors in the footnotes. Please take another look and let me know if anything is missing. Xpander (talk) 19:27, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your improvements here and for fixing the errors. A WP:BLP article still needs more footnotes. For example, the whole section "Pfaller was a member of the Vienna-based psychoanalysis research group “stuzzicadenti.” The group was founded in 1999 and existed until 2022. The group focused on the critical question of the goal of treatment: healing or adaptation to existing social norms? To this end, clinical questions were linked to questions of cultural theory about changed and changeable understandings of sexuality, normality, and pathology." is unsourced. Have a great day! Mariamnei (talk) 08:06, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please also double check the categories for pages you translate as well. Categorization works differently for each wikipedia project. Thanks!^SMason_Garrison 14:19, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Xpander. Thank you for your work on Joel Whitebook. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

As noted in the templates and in earlier reviews, it would be helpful to have further independent sources covering biographical details. Nevertheless, there is a body of published work in the field that has been reviewed in reliable sources, meeting WP:NAUTHOR.

Hi @Klbrain. As for biographical notes, I couldn't find any other sources than the single source provided in the article. Xpander (talk) 15:06, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Elias Vali Fard moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Elias Vali Fard. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and in particular, the article needs at least three reliable independent sources with significant coverage of the subject. There's useful information about how to choose good sources and avoid bad sources here. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. SunloungerFrog (talk) 15:08, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
