"former"?

What does "former" mean after "Justina of Padua" in Holidays and Observances? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 12:08, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

articles which lack notability and seem to have been created just to be added to this list

the deaths linked to 2023 seem to be pages made in violation of the blp. 814jjs (talk) 14:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@814jjs - you would need to delete/propose for deletion these articles. Once done, then they can be removed from this article. Kiwipete (talk) 18:27, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

complicatingly, each of those pages also has extended protection, which seems like an abuse of the policy. 814jjs (talk) 19:59, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Slang

Some use the Hebrew term shiv'a be'oktober as a general term for hypothetical future massacre or a tragic event, any disaster. This term follows the terrors of the Black Saturday in Israel during this date in 2023
