Thanks for your edit to Webster County, Iowa. Just a note that citations are not placed into section headings, per WP:CITEFOOT. Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 09:59, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, CountMacula,

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Raydann, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I have tagged an article that you started, National Educational Development Tests, for deletion, because it is a very short article that doesn't provide readers with enough context to determine who or what the subject is.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.

For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Raydann}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

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

The article National Educational Development Tests has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced, does not indicate which country and does not establish notability

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.

Hello! I just wanted to give you a fair heads up that I reverted your edit here. Because Alex McKinney is a living person, the full force of MOS:GENDERID applies. Specifically, [I]f a living transgender or non-binary person was not notable under a former name (a deadname), it should not be included in any page (including lists, redirects, disambiguation pages, category names, templates, etc.), even in quotations, even if reliable sourcing exists.. As such, I think the guidelines is pretty explicit that McKinney's birth name shouldn't be mentioned.--Jerome Frank Disciple (talk) 13:05, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your revert, with the comment: The condition "if a living transgender or non-binary person was not notable under a former name (a deadname)" is false, as McKinney was notable at the time of trial under the legal name Maya Elizabeth McKinney. So MOS:GENDERID doesn't apply.

Thanks for your previous merge with the other article, BTW. CountMacula (talk) 05:00, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A web search for "Maya Elizabeth McKinney" reveals mention of that name in dozens of reliable secondary sources. I believe that that establishes notability under that name. CountMacula (talk) 05:04, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough! For the reasons I've now stated on the talk page, I think the status quo should stay into effect until the question is resolved. But I've now added a section to that talk page summarizing the dispute so that other editors can chip in. If we don't get any responses, we can head to WP:3O (to get a third opinion) or, if necessary, ask for a request for comment.--Jerome Frank Disciple (talk) 13:51, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay! I had a message typed up here, but, as happens too often, it got lost in tabs, and I somehow convinced myself I had already hit save until I stumbled on it again. I just wanted to give you a heads up that I put the dispute on WP:3O, so hopefully we'll get the input of another editor soon-ish. (And, of course, if that opinion doesn't satisfyingly resolve the issue, we can go somewhere else, like WP:RFC.)--Jerome Frank Disciple (talk) 17:20, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
