Hello, TheMrBurntToast, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as 1849 Georgia gubernatorial election, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on 1849 Georgia gubernatorial election requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Confused whether this was meant to be 1874 or 1875... JTtheOG (talk) 20:28, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever the wikibox says the date/election is the correct one. TheMrBurntToast (talk) 20:32, 17 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, as a fellow election-interested person I appreciate you creating various articles on past elections. Can you please make sure to include sources though? Sources are very important so that information in the page can be verified. I'd also like to point out that ourcampaigns isn't really the best source - it's better than absolutely nothing, but it is an open wiki which means it generally isn't considered reliable. Ourcampaigns does tend to provide their own citations to where they got the data from - if you could potentially acquire those sources and cite them, that would be good. Though, I can understand the costliness of directly acquiring those sources, many of which may be out of print and not easily available online.

If you have any questions about this or anything else with editing Wikipedia, feel free to ask! Elli (talk | contribs) 01:35, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, it’s honestly great to see someone else who cares about elections and cares enough to make sure they are verified, so I commend you on that.

To be clear, I honestly forget sometimes to add my sources and refs. I noticed that I forgot the source when looking on mobile, but my phone doesn’t allow me to add sources for some reason so I will add the source in the morning when i can access my PC.

And I agree, Our Campaigns really isn’t great, but it’s all I can find for a free source. I might try to purchase some of the sources they reference if I can, but I can not guarantee.

Anyways, thank you for caring so much and contacting me. You can always message me here if you need something.
