User talk:Doc James

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Management Sciences for Health, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:

Edit the page
Remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
Click the Publish changes button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Sionk}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

@Sionk: I contested the PROD because I found what might be an independent source. Here's the diff of my revert, and the edit summary contains the details: [2]. I still think this might result in "delete" at AfD, but I think it has to go through that process. --Tryptofish (talk) 21:35, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Sore throat (disambiguation)

The article Sore throat (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Invalid and unnecessary disambiguation page containing the primary topic and only one other topic.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

The 2023 Cure Award to bot

Hi Doc James. I'm not sure if I'm in the right place, my apologies if I'm not. I'm writing to you because of this edit. User ԱշբոտՏՆՂ is my bot (most likely the system didn't recognize it as a bot because the word "bot" is in Armenian). ԱշոտՏՆՂ (talk) 22:35, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:ԱշոտՏՆՂ thanks. Your board has made positive medical edits. Yes we missed the bot bit when generating the list. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:48, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sic?!

Doc James, but when ever?! It must be a mistake. --Frognall (talk) 22:56, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
