The article Show indians has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable neologism. Sources do not contain this term

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of public art in Omaha, Nebraska, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page First National Bank (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello, you posted a comment about a Nebraska newspaper. I moved it to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Newspapers. Sorry for the wiki confusion - we set up the project page with a talk page for each state, but instead of maintaining 50 forums, we need comments in one place.

Your question was a sort which is going to come up many times so thanks for asking and I hope we can use it as a precedent.

Hello, Hepplerj,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Tropy should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tropy .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,
