| I have moved the ] page to Meritorious Service Decoration, which has then been changed to ]. Intially, we only had the medal, but later the Cross, a higher decoration, was added. The page refers to both which together are properly described by the new page title. I hope this is ok, it seems correct to me. When I click on What Links Here, I see several pages that come up. Is it the right thing to do to go to each and edit them to lead to the new page or should it just be left for the redirection function to take care of? | |||
| ] 21:08, 15 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| : Hi I guess you mean you moved ]. Ideally you would go to the pages linking to it and update them to point to the real page rather than the redirect. This might mean that the text in the linging page changes which may not be what is intended (depening on context), so you might need to make the links something like <nowiki>]</nowiki> which would show up as ]. --]<sup>(<font color="mediumseagreen">]</font>)</sup> 21:17, 15 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| OK, I understand that, but now I may have messed up here. I am trying to add a category to useon the page I have done for ]. What I wanted to do is make a category link like the one for recipients of the ]. Such a list would be a useful reference and add recognition to the decoration by creating a list of these recipients. But when I tried to do it, I think I have messed up. The page Category:Meritorious Service Decoration (Canada) only shows up as a preview even though it shows the links to ] and ] These show up because I have edited those two pages to refer to this category. Yet the category shows up in red when it is referred to. Am I on the wrong track? ] 21:57, 15 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Ken -- Merope might not get back to you right away; she's taking a bit of a break from Misplaced Pages. If I'm thinking of the same John Turvey you are, he seems like he might be notable enough for Misplaced Pages. The standards are described here: ]. | |||
| When you create the page initially, be sure to make it clear why he is notable enough (]) for a biography on Misplaced Pages. | |||
| Also, while you're adding to the article, you can include the tag '''<nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>''' to make it clear that it's incomplete. | |||
| It can also help to temporarily include the tag '''<nowiki>{{wip}}</nowiki>''' to indicate that the article is a work in process...but that's only intended to be used for a very brief period, no more than an hour or so. -- ] ] ] 04:07, 13 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ::Ok, I see no problem with notability; refer to ] for the guidelines. See the Order of Canada and Order of BC bios for background information, and if you google his name, you should find plenty of press coverage. I'm in Vancouver...and here's something strange: I've never met him myself, but his late brother, Dave, was my uncle. -- ] ] ] 04:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::I haven't turned on the TV or radio, or looked at any news sites today, so I hadn't realized he died. You've done a great job on the article. I found this obituary as well. | |||
| ::::Oh wow, you're right! "In 1984...." Sloppy fact-checking. I've been trying to find his date of birth, all I can find is the reference that he was 61. -- ] ] ] 06:42, 13 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

| == Followup about Misplaced Pages deletion policy == | |||
| Ken, I thought you might be interested in New York Times article: | |||
| :''"Roughly 4,000 articles are added each day, and about half that number are deleted that same day, Misplaced Pages says, by administrators who determine that an article is not up to standards."'' | |||
| With that volume of new articles, we end up having to make a snap judgement: does the article describe a person who seems to be notable enough to justify a Misplaced Pages bio? We honestly try to make the right choice each time; we don't want to delete valid content any more than we want to keep junk. If you just started the first version of the article as a minimal framework, with no indication why this person might be notable, then the deletion is understandable. (I really don't know; I didn't see the article.) Anyway, thanks for taking the time to add it. -- ] ] ] 15:49, 13 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :''"I was going to reference another NYTimes article in the Turvey article but didn't because they require registration to access it."'' | |||
| ::The New York Times is one of the best possible sources to cite; it helps to demonstrate more than local/regional notability. If it just requires the free registration, that's not a major problem. If it requires a TimesSelect (paid) registration, it's a bit more problematical. But if the piece adds context, then it's probably useful. | |||
| ::Ok, I just did the search...is the article you were thinking of? That seems like a good citation to show that he was the driving force behind one of the first needle exchange programs in North America. -- ] ] ] 16:30, 13 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::I noticed the new link...and someone else added some useful categories at the bottom (Canadian activists makes sense). Hopefully someone else will come along now and expand it. -- ] ] ] 19:36, 13 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
