Alex Southey
editHi, why did you remove my page about popular podcaster and musician Alex Southey? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA1 (talk) 05:28, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- @HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA1 Hello, you edited the existing page Alex South, who is not the same person as Alex Southey, so that the page displayed information about Alex Southey. This is hijacking, and you are not allowed to do it. —*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 05:30, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- But what about Alex Southey? He deserves a page HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA1 (talk) 05:32, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- @HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA1 To be included in Wikipedia, a subject must meet the general notability guideline. The subject must receive sustained coverage from reliable and independent sources. In addition, the article that you wrote is promotiona in nature, as it talks about the subject in a very positive way. Wikipedia articles are written in a neutral, uninterested tone. —*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 05:36, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- But what if he's done nothing wrong. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA1 (talk) 05:40, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- @HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA1 The important thing is whether or not he has received enough coverage for the encyclopedia to have an article about him, not whether or not the subject is a good person. If the subject does not have enough coverage, then it is best not to create an article about him. —*Fehufangą (✉ Talk · ✎ Contribs) 05:41, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- He has enough coverage! The article is complete, and it is very naiceee (Borat voice) HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA1 (talk) 05:43, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
- You really are mean, how dare you discredit my page, wow, meanie HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA1 (talk) 06:08, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
