The article Hamilton Island Golf Club has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Poorly sourced article about a private club. Zero secondary sources have been in the article. A Google search found only passing mentions. Lacks significant coverage.

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, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. Bearian (talk) 00:01, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

There are references, but this seems like the least notable lawyer I've ever heard of. Can you help me understand why this person might be considered notable? Bearian (talk) 02:38, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

I have been working off-and-on for the past two years to complete the results tables at Australian Figure Skating Championships. As you can see, there are numerous instances of missing data, including the host cities and silver/bronze medalists. I have pored through Newspapers.com, Old News, Trove, and bought a week's access to the archives of The Sydney Morning Herald. National figure skating championships would typically have been held between July and September. If anyone can suggest other avenues for finding any of this information, I would appreciate it. To be clear, I need only the senior-level results.

I do know these particular dates:

• August 1981 @ Brisbane
• July 14–20, 1984 @ Bribsbane
• July 28 – August 4, 1985 @ Melbourne
• August 29–30, 1987 @ Brisbane
• August 25–28, 1988 @ Sydney
• Early August 1994 @ Sydney
• July 29 – August 5, 1995 @ Canberra

This template does not seem to be working for Doreen Kartinyeri. Not sure if it's an ID problem, but it takes me to the Australian Women's Register "notice" page. Is anyone here familiar with it? Laterthanyouthink (talk) 07:53, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

The Australian Women's Register has updated the site which now uses a name-based slug for each biographical article, e.g. https://www.womenaustralia.info/entries/kartinyeri-doreen/ rather than the entry ID (AWE5158). Rather annoying as they clearly still use the entry ID, which is shown at the top of each biography. Many of the Australian Women and Leadership articles still work with the entry ID, but not that one. Ideally they would redirect entry IDs to the new pages, as that would be preferable to updating every link to AWR and EWL in Wikipedia and Wikidata, or changing the template to point to the Internet Archive or similar.

Thank you. Yes, I found the article, and tried the template with that number, but it didn't work. That is annoying. Her entry is pretty short and I used it once in the article anyway, so I think I may as well remove it from ELs, as it doesn't offer anything further.

In a recent RM discussion at Talk:Model Farms, I indicated that these two wikiprojects had information listed as naming conventions that are not clearly aligned with WP:NCAUST. Andrewa clarified that these are guidelines only and are not backed by the same consensus as NCAUST and should not be considered authoritative. As such, I believe they should be amended to avoid ambiguity and contradicting authoritative policy.

• The Sydney page is a relatively easy fix - The exception If the name is unique then you can add a redirect, e.g. Bondi Beach, which redirects to the article at Bondi Beach, New South Wales. This is an especially good idea if the suburb is well known internationally and locally could simply be changed to read The name of a suburb may be used alone if the place is the primary or only topic for that name.

• The Melbourne page is much more confusing and the whole section probably needs to be revised and updated in its entirety to reflect the contemporary interpretation of NCAUST.

As I have been quite involved in last year's RfC's as well as initiating a number of RMs in this topic area recently, I am cautious about making WP:BOLD edits to make these changes myself, at least without an indication of consensus by members of these wikiprojects. I have waited until the RM on Model Farms I recently initiated was closed to avoid any suggestions of impropriety. I am also mindful that in the October 2025 RfC, number of editors described a "long-standing" convention of using placename, state as the default. I suspect these project pages are quite old and may be documentation to support that claim was at some stage the connsensus (notwithstanding that these are not authoritative naming conventions and consensus can change, although the RfCs did not determine either way). In any case, given it is a bit of a hot topic, I think it is best to ensure there are no objections changing these old pages! Dfadden (talk) 11:02, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
