You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Hi there! I saw your recent change of the abbreviations in the 2020 Big 12 Conference football season article. I wanted to let you know that those abbreviations are used because they are less ambiguous than the more commonly used abbreviations. While in this case, context makes it clear what the team in question is, it's important to consider that it may not be as clear to someone less familiar with the subject matter. OSU, for example, could refer to Oklahoma State University, Ohio State University, or Oregon State University. Similar ambiguities arise with most of the other common abbreviations used for Big 12 teams. TCU is an exception, as it is the common name for the university and is unambiguous in most cases.

Thank you for the explanation. Can you also explain the inconsistencies of this method? Why are "ISU" and "KSU" used when those abbreviations risk the same sort of confusion? →Wordbuilder (talk) 02:58, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The short answer is that Iowa State and Kansas State don't abbreviate to anything else logical that is short enough to be a reasonable abbreviation. While IOWAST and KANSASST could be used, these practically defeat the point of abbreviating the name. TheMrP (talk) 04:21, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Gabe Hall is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

FWIW, it appears you created the article originally at Gabe hall and then did a cut-and-paste to the new title per [1]. I found a few other articles you created around the same time period that may not withstand an AfD: Alex Trlica, Brock Stratton, Coaching legacy of Bob Knight.

Heh, I didn't even remember. I guess if they weren't even impactful enough for the creator of the articles to remember, they probably aren't too significant. I'm okay with just deleting all the articles you mentioned. →Wordbuilder (talk) 23:10, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated the Brock Stratton and Bob Knight coaching tree (after rename) for deletion, but left Alex Trlica alone since he might pass WP:NCOLLATH for setting the consecutive PATs record. Eagles 24/7 (C) 00:16, 6 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated Texas Tech University for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. FemkeMilene (talk) 08:00, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The file File:TTURawls.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

When the image was uploaded in 2011, it was not replaceable, as the building was not yet finished. However, the building has been open for around ten years now and I stopped by this Summer and took a picture of it, so now it has been replaced.

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 files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ★ Bigr Tex 02:13, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
