Ehm, from a phone - I expect it to be similar as what you normally do - get to the page, and there should be a 'start new page' link. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:15, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Social Media Links on Toni Baldwin Page

Those links were added as they are official accounts and also used to cite information in her article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aberholli95 (talk • contribs) 20:33, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

/* External links */ Link to Official Page On Facebook

Facebooks are hardly ever the main official site, and secondary official sites should not be linked. Facebook as an official secondary site is only allowed when the subject is specifically known for their facebook personality (which is rather unique). I don't think the page is here appropriate, see WP:ELOFFICIAL. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:18, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphan Page

Writer7498,

Hello, I am making a entry for National Recording Artist and Music Executive: Dwayne "d-teck" grant! He is a part of Konvict Muzik and made several songs with Grammy Winning Artist Akon! What do i need to do to get the Orphan tag removed! I think i removed the orphan article! Thanks

'Orphan' means that nothing links to the page - you'll have to find other pages on Wikipedia that link to this subject and make them links. Generally, pages should not be standing 'in isolation', 'notability' hardly ever comes on its own. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:21, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain

See my talk page please. 69.58.42.90 (talk) 00:10, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This situation gives me a bit of a deja vu, but this is an infobox hack to get the video in. That means that the infobox itself is not made to have a link to the official video, which suggests that either was not discussed (and hence, there is no discussion to override WP:EL on this), or that it was discussed and not deemed necessary. I therefore do not believe that these links should be in the infobox, or in the external links sections for that matter. As such, per our external links guideline, I do not see why we should link the video, where there is likely already an official link of the band, who will then themselves already link to it (hence, the youtube link is just linkfarming, even if it is the second). This type of linking fails our inclusion standards. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:39, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gubbaare

'Gubbaare' is an independent Pakistani short film made for film festivals and online releases. A citing has been added on the article linking to the youtube link of the film. Please look into the matter soon. I need a Wikipedia page because I am a budding film-maker and need platforms like these. Please, look into it soon.
