Old pages
Hi, all your old pages listed here, Database reports/Ownerless pages in the user space, can i delete them since they're now ownerless?-- Jac 16888 Talk 13:24, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * No, they just didn't get moved during the rename.  Aar on Sc hulz  21:12, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Then can you move them please? Or else re-register the account, which is probably a good idea anyway-- Jac 16888 Talk 00:16, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Wolf Prix / architect
I noted with surprise that an article on this Austrian architect was deleted by you (in 2005) on the grounds of non-notability. Wolf Prix is an internationally renowend architect who has been awarded numerous prices for his buildings. He also teaches at the Viennese University for applied arts and has given lectures at Harvard and New York´s Columbia University. You may want to inspect the website of his firm at http://www.coop-himmelblau.at/. I have no idea on the stye of the article which was deleted, but the reason you stated ("nothing to suggest notabilty") is blatantly false. Of course, it is possible that the deleted article was on a person with an identical name. Greetings from Vienna. --Cookatoo.ergo.ZooM (talk) 22:50, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I haven't deleted anything in ages. That said, articles must assert notability. This depends on the text of the article and not whether the subject happens to be notable (though if the person is a household name it is unlikely to be deleted).  Aar on Sc hulz  02:00, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, we do have an article on the firm of which he was a founding member (Coop Himmelb(l)au), some five or six articels on buildings he designed (BMW Welt, amongst others) and he is also listed in the List of architects (for the 21st century). If I find the time (there are stacks of references in German, English and Spanish), I may rewrite the article in question.  Wolf Prix would be ranked amongst the 12 (or so) most influential architects of today, next to Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Santiago Calatrava and a few more .  --Cookatoo.ergo.ZooM (talk) 21:13, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

PS: Is there a chance to have a peek at the deleted article? As I pass the above mentioned University of applied arts (where he teaches) thrice a week, I should have no problems finding sources; nevertheless it may be of help to check the unknown editors original article. Thanks for any help you may provide and cheers from Vienna. --Cookatoo.ergo.ZooM (talk) 21:18, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * If you plan on working on it, I'll just restore it with an "inuse" tag or such.  Aar on Sc hulz  01:33, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
