Deletion Request
Hi, Why do you keep recomending this article about "Harris Rehana" deleted? I've added one neutral source, 1 direct source from the Harris' website? Same goes for "Hina Sultan", she's a host of one of the most popular shows on Pakistan network, I've given a reference of her channel's website and yet you keep asking it to be deleted. Is there anything that I'm not doing right or what? Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Attractivue (talk • contribs) 12:17, 2 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia articles must establish notability using reliable sources. Both the articles in question are not supported by  verifiable, independent, reliable source. Without this neither article meets the notability criteria in WP:BIO of WP:ENTERTAINER.   ttonyb  (talk) 14:33, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi in the case of Harris Rehana, its got info from IMDB and Perfectblend.net which is a site from Neighbours (TV Series) confirming Harris' past credits. How is this not reliable? In the case of Hina Sultan, look up the link, its a major TV channel! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Attractivue (talk • contribs) 21:19, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Not spam
I wrote on the Death of Caylee Anthony's talk page about the book citation I posted there. It is not spam. I added the book about the case under External links, and you've removed that too, calling it spam. I don't understand how including a book about the death of Caylee Anthony can be considered spam. Thank you. AuthorAuthor (talk) 21:02, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Given the book was written three years ago prior to the trial and subsequent update of information, the book adds little if anything to the article.  ttonyb  (talk) 21:13, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

The Shalom Show on tv
Dear Ttonyb1, I ask that my article please not be deleted. May I ask you to remove that risk, simply because the article is correct and true and may just need more editing and References. Could you please assist? I have not checked this article for weeks due to health and recent surgery, but I’m back and would like to ask for your assistance in correcting this article please. I apologize that I probably am not communicating with you the correct way. You wrote to me a while back that if I have a good secondary reference, I should send it to you and you will add it to the article; Could Dr. Abraham Fischler, President Emeritus of Nova Southeastern University serve as a secondary reference source? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_S._Fischler He would be glad to. How do I submit him to Wikipedia as a secondary reference source? The Shalom Show features in depth interviews with leaders in many fields, also with politicians from left and right. It just had Presidential Candidate Speaker Newt Gingrich on the show: http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/9020820/video/79716175-newt-gingrich-on-shalom-show-with-richard-peritz-on-current-issues-and-israel. Would this article and the Speaker’s team serve as a reference? In a Google search the Shalom Show brings up many articles, including Fox News. Could the following serve as references: http://nation.foxnews.com/religion/2011/02/03/rep-allen-west-says-muslim-congressman-represents-antithesis-america-s-founding- Could YouTube serve as a reference? http://www.youtube.com/user/SHALOMshowTV Even in Pakistan: http://pktube.onepakistan.com/www.shalomshow.com/ MSN: http://tv.msn.com/tv/series-episodes/shalom-show/ AOL: http://television.search.aol.com/search?o_q=shalom+show&s_it=topsearchbox.search&q=shalom+show+richard+peritz www.wn.com (WorldNews): http://wn.com/Amb_Yehuda_Avner_interviewed_by_Richard_Peritz_on_Shalom_Show_841 http://www.world-tour.co.il/2011/05/harris-rosen-on-shalom-show-838-with-richard-peritz/ http://www.therightscoop.com/allen-west-speaks-truth-on-islam-israel   in the United Kingdom http://www.jltv.tv/profile.php?user=ShalomShow2010 http://www.bnaibrith.org/opeds/Kohn11192010.cfm   Bnai Brith is a big international organization:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%27nai_B%27rith Official website link is correct, however the External Website link was not. It should also be: www.shalomshow.com  I think I succeeded in correcting this myself. I respectfully again ask that my article please not be deleted. It is all factual. Could you please assist me? Many thanks! Josephn18 (talk) 20:56, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Hina Sultan Deletion
Hi Tony

I've added two more independent links confirming the information to be correct. If it still doesn't qualify then delete the article if you wish.

Your RFA
Sorry about how your RFA turned out. You'rr a strong candidate with a lot of good work under your belt, and the issues raised are easily fixed. I've full confidence if these issues are addressed, you'll have no issues next time around. Best of luck, don't let it get you down too much. We all make mistakes, RFA is often a learning experience. Learn from it and move on, and you'll do just fine. All the best. :) Steven Zhang  The clock is ticking....  01:12, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Steven, thank you very much for your comments on the RfA and your words of encouragement. You have my deepest respect and appreciation.  My best to you.   ttonyb  (talk) 01:22, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Good job keeping your cool...that shows balls
Takes some poise to put yourself out there and deal with a bunch of jerks on the other side of a modem interrogating and judging you. And not flip out at them. That is an aspect we need in moderators.

P.s. If you write some articles for our readers, I will support you. I don't understand all the A7 stuff, so you are safe (FROM ME) on that. Just think that our eventual product is content (not process) and that content is read by a lot of people all over the Intertubes who don't even have usernames. You don't have to be some Steinbeck like writer...just good to have at least some deeper exerience in writing articles. It's expected in school and work and all, so is not that big of a deal. And it introduces you to an aspect of the project (collaboration with users) that you don't see in the pure "moderator" type activities.

Anyhow...hang in there, man...TCO (talk) 01:42, 6 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks...  ttonyb (talk) 18:00, 9 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Tony. Sorry things did not  turn out the way  you  expected. I'm  nevertheless convinced that  if you  take the  comments on  board you  will easily  pass a future attempt.
 * BTW: For statistical purposes, could you  pleas consider  re-editing  the closing  statement  to "Withdrawn by  candidate", as "Unsuccessful" makes it look like an RfA  that  went  its full term and failed. Cheers. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:48, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Your comments are much appreciated. My best to you.   ttonyb  (talk) 18:00, 9 June 2011 (UTC)


 * I would like to encourage you too. My neutral was leaning towards a support, and one dubious A7 speedy nom does not mean much at all.  But I think if you write some articles it will get more support from others. I like to see a candidate try out a lot of things, even if they specialize in say NPP. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:13, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your guidance. My best to you.  ttonyb (talk) 18:00, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

RFA
Tony, I wanted to thank you for accepting my nomination. I am sorry for the way it turned out but I still look up to you and I still picture you as an admin. Let me know anytime if you'd like to give it another go, I'm more than happy to nominate you again.--v/r - TP 02:04, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * You have my appreciate for the nomination. It was an honor to be nominated.  Thanks...   ttonyb  (talk) 18:00, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Recent RFA
Hey, I did not see your RfA until it was over, but wanted to wish you all the best. In my experience your efforts at NPP have been exemplary. Regards! VQuakr (talk) 03:24, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the kind words. My best to you.   ttonyb  (talk) 18:02, 9 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Huh, you withdrew that one quickly, Ttonyb1, I'm surprised. I haven't read followed it, but I hope you did so because you found some concerns valid, not because you were discouraged by them? Anyway, just wanted to say that yours was an RfA I was planning to participate in. I remembered you from way back (2008 probably) when I brought a couple of concerns to your talk page, and I know I wasn't always satisfied with your reaction, but whenever I noticed your edits in recent months it was always with appreciation. If you're thinking about giving RfA another go down the line and want an opinion in advance, feel free to let me know! Cheers, Amalthea  16:55, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I will certainly let you know. My best to you.  ttonyb (talk) 18:00, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
