San Diego Thunder
I have updated the San Diego Thunder entry. It now includes references to multiple websites that prove the validity of the team. These sites include pages that cover the teams championship games, historical data, highlights, and also validate their league affiliations. I apologize for not posting these references immediately. This is the first wiki entry I have ever posted so I would like to thank you for your patience.

We are quite well known within the area. In fact this season, the Chargers have given us permission to wear their old powder blue jerseys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdthunder (talk • contribs) 09:36, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you left a note on Caulde' talk page about the above article. I thought I'd let you know that I'm going to delete his talk page as the user has exercised his right to vanish, and it's very unlikely he'll see the message or partake in the discussion.

speedies
Please check the history of an article before you place a speedy. All those motorcycle speedies were previous declined by another administrator, so I declined them also. We normally respect underconstruction tags for one week--certainly for a few days--and an infobox with significant information added is content, for it could almost automatically turned into an article. If nobody improves the article by this time next week, consider either doing it yourself, or reminding the ed. who started them.. Per our deletion policy, deletion is the last resort.DGG (talk) 20:39, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I hadn't noticed the speedies were declined previously so declining them again would have been the correct action. Note, though, that those nominations followed five "test" nominations within the series - which were speedily deleted - which I placed to establish consensus (including stating so in the edit summary). See also the discussions at User talk:BenjaminPQ. The opinion of all has thus far been that (a) all those empty stub pages should not be created; the articles should be created and worked on in turn, and (b) there is insufficient difference in the subjects to warrant so many articles; there should be groupings into fewer articles. I42 (talk) 21:18, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Many admins do incorrect speedies. In particular, some tend to cut off new articles while they are being written. Many editors don't realize the need to protect themselves against this when writing articles, presumably under the assumption that  we encourage writing articles. I gave the user  you mention some advice on how to do so. Whether the articles will in fact be valid is a question for AfD--in the past I have often !voted to merge such articles on specific models into an article for the product line.   If I had the time to do it, I would take all articles deleted this way by him and others to  deletion review, and discuss admins who routinely delete in this manner in the appropriate places. As for the (different) admin who deleted earlier ones as spam, why he thinks an article with a bare infobox on a model is promotional, escapes me entirely. But  he & I & others are now discussing the use of that criterion  in general, not for this particular cases, at WT:CSD.      DGG (talk) 18:14, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

VSPB University
I don't think the speedy deletion tag that you put on VSPB University was correct. At the very least, the criteria you cited was incorrect.

Request for feedback: -graphy
You voted to delete this article. I need your input on how to fix the article...

I noticed this article was actually a list (in fact, a glossary), so I've been doing some work on it.

I've renamed it to Glossary of graphies, have cleaned it up a bit, and have added it to Portal:Contents/List of glossaries.

I've posted my rationale to its AfD.

Please let me know at the AfD if anything else needs to be done to the article in order for it to serve justifiable purposes of the encyclopedia.

Thank you.

Rachael Stewart
You put a speedy deletion on this because it was a 'reposting' of previously deleted information when in fact it was not. The previous postings, which I did see in the past,  had no information at all on them and seemed to be nothing more than a name holder. I tried to expand the article considerably, but it was delted again,  despite more info added. I did get the notifaction about the hangon, but not until today,  when it was already deleted so I did not get a chance to speak my case or rectify any issues with the article.

I was made aware by another admin about some of the external links (none of which were very good I grant you), which I logged on to fix today,  only to find that the page had been delted.

Given that this was an actual article with actual information, I don't feel that it shoud have been delted,  rather I should have been given more than a few hours to fix it. Can you please advise? I don't want to repost the article only to have someone delete it again without looking at it. Iamtherealnakedclaire (talk) 10:49, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * You could ask the deleting admin User:Jclemens to restore the page into your user space so that you can continue developing it, and then move it back to article space when you are done. However, the article was deleted because of notability concerns and unless something significant has happened to address those I would advise putting your efforts elsewhere.

CSDs: Take 2
Hi there. You may want to be more careful with that CSD button, as it seems you're tagging quite a few pages that don't deserve to be speedied and mistagging others. It looks like you're on new-page patrol, as a lot of your nominations are withing minutes of the page creation, and as someone who does that from time to time as well, I know it's sometimes tempting to try to be the first to tag a page. However, it would probably be worthwhile to give the articles a quick run through Google/Google News before you nominate them.

To give you an idea what to watch out for, here are a few that -- as best as I can tell -- were misfires.
 * William R. Gregory: Candidacy for US Congress seems to be an obvious indication of notability. Further, a Google News search reveals that the subject easily meets the GNG.
 * Argyle Sweater: Although short, this article provided enough context to explain what it was about. CSD A1 would probably be better used on an article like this.
 * Carol Daniels: The article is in somewhat rough shape, but noting that her murder was national news is an assertion of notability that precludes a CSD. A Google News search confirms that the murder is indeed being covered extensively. A BLP1E case, perhaps, but not a CSD A7.
 * Vobus: The page may have been nonsense, but it was not vandalism.
 * Dose of Adolescence: The page includes an assertion of notability, specificially the band's status as a finalist in the Airwalk contest. That may be a flimsy claim to fame, but it's still enough to require a PROD or AfD instead of CSD.
 * John Levy (chairman): Doesn't look like a test page. However, the notes at the bottom show that the material is a reproduction of copyrighted material.

Hope this doesn't sound like lecturing. Godspeed. — Bdb484 (talk) 02:06, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I disagree.
 * Unelected politicians are not inherently notable - WP:POLITICIAN. Candidates using WP to raise their profile is a constant problem.
 * Argyle Sweater gave no context at all: all it said was that it was a comic strip. What publications (if any)? What country? etc.
 * Being murdered does not make you notable, and WP is not a news outlet.
 * Vandalism includes obvious misinformation, which Vobus was.
 * Dose of Adolescence was borderline speedy, IMO. I don't see being nominated for the Airwalk Unsigned Hero Contest as notable, in fact it kind-of confirms the subject is not notable. WP:MUSIC #8 and #9 specifically require "major" music awards / competitions, so I discounted it.
 * At the time I nominated John Levy it was entitled "Submitting a new article", which suggested it was a test.

Hello I42, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of 101 Dalmatians (2009 Musical) - a page you tagged - because: Not unambiguously promotional. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. NW ( Talk ) 23:29, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, we are both entitled to disagree and you, of course, are entitled to remove the CSD tag. I strongly disagree with your assessment, however. From the peacock term at the start (the director is not merely listed, he is "acclaimed") to the full list of venues where we might go to see the show at the end, he article was one long (unreferenced) press-piece placed by the show's promotor. I have now pared it down to a stub. I42 (talk) 07:39, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Yvonne Koay
I have declined the CSD nom for Yvonne Koay; there is definitely an assertion of notability in the article (design of a sports centre). I don't necessarily think that makes the subject actually notable, but that's not what CSD is for. That's why I had WP:PRODded it before you put the CSD tag on it. (You can add prod2 if you agree.)

I think you'll find that you're wrong.

Redirects on X Factor contestants
Thanks for your message. Regarding making Stacey Solomon a redirect, I was actually the one who created the Solomon page myself. Check history of the page... But for fairness, there was just one single individual who deemed all three finalists as automatically notable. And I immediately responded by creating the Solomon page myself. However after that discussion, articles for Joe McElderry, Olly Murs and others were all sent to redirect. I suggested a separate article on Danyl Johnson and he also was deemed not notable although he had been member in three different formations, had released albums and written many songs. I don't see why Stacey Solomon should be an exception to all this when even finalists McElderry and Murs are deemed not notable. (See arguments on Joe McElderry).

Message regarding Recommind
Hi there. When an editor repeatedly replaces a speedy deletion tag with a hangon tag, it is usually not in bad faith. As a general statement, a lot of people seem to get confused regarding the fact that the hangon template is supposed to go beneath the speedy deletion tag. Rather than repeatedly reverting their edits as vandalism, I would suggest assuming good faith and fixing it for them by putting the hangon tag where it is supposed to go. Thanks! --Nick—Contact/Contribs 23:25, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * On none of the three times I reverted had the user placed a hangon tag (although on the 2nd, there was an apparrent attempt to do so). Yes, I possibly should have fixed it but given this is the fifth time he's created the article and was simultaneously being reported at WP:AIV (now blocked) there's no hope for the article. I42 (talk) 23:34, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I see the history with the article and it looks like there may be little hope for it. At the same time, I thought I'd let you know that I couldn't find where the copyright violation has occured, so I elected to take the article to AFD.  It very well may still be speedied for A7 or G11, but I like to err on the side of discussion.  If you'd like to comment, the discussion is here.

Similar to Montenegro Airlines destinations, this (Porter Airlines destinations)is is a small content fork and should not be a separate article. Do you agree? Why WP:Airlines disagrees, I don't know. &#x0298; alaney2k  •   talk &#x0298; 03:08, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

The glass house bistro
While I agree with you that The glass house bistro is a problematic article, might I refer you to WP:Tag bombing -- once the article has been nominated for deletion, I think any further tagging is just superfluous. If the article survives the AFD, it can be tagged appropriately (and judiciously) to prompt the desired cleanup efforts. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:01, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that the article does look over-tagged, although they are all appropriate. The tags were all placed before the article was being nominated for deletion, although the last of my tags resulted in an edit conflict with the nomination. (The page history is interesting, and gives the impression much of the tagging occurred *after* nomination, in fact only the last tag was comitted afterwards) I42 (talk) 15:10, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello I42. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Alexander Ivashkin, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: G12: No longer a copyright violation. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 21:10, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello I42. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Copa Aerosur 2008, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. Thank you. Ged UK  17:28, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

A1 or A3 SD tagging
Hi there. Thanks for your speedy deletion tagging, but please don't tag articles for speedy deletion on the A1 or A3 criteria just after they are created. See the top of Special:Newpages: "Note: articles should not be tagged for speedy deletion as having no context (CSD A1) or no content (CSD A3) moments after creation." Mike Eustace was tagged one minute after creation; it's a good idea two wait four or five minutes, as the edit interface may be confusing to new contributors.

Speedy deletion Absolute Cards
Hello, the article is justified because the company is a well renowned, well established, award winning business - the shop was voted for by hundreds  of customers, and is therefore a well known, renowned business. Also, the article is not "overly promotional" at all! It simply states what it stocks. I therefore oppose the deletion on the grounds that I believe that the article is fully justified.

I don't know why you feel the need to make accusations, but I am in no way related to this company. Please consider your comments before jumping to conclusions. Blaze42 (talk) 20:07, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I jumped to no conclusions. According to what you wrote when you uploaded the logo, you created it. If you created it, you have a connection with the company. I42 (talk) 22:34, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I added that so that I could upload it - I was going to change it to the correct one, because it wasn't listed. If you keep adding to articles that I am related to the people mentioned, then I am going to report you. Blaze42 (talk) 20:06, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Right, firstly I am NOT related to them - I am not going to argue this fact. Secondly, what if there was? Who are YOU to say that my articles are rubbish, just because you think I am related? Are you an administrator? No. The information is FACT, that's all there is to it. There is zero conflict of interest. Blaze42 (talk) 20:28, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Aidan Davis
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Aidan Davis. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Aidan Davis. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:06, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Command substitution
Don't you think you were a little quick to delete the page I started on command substitution only 4 minutes after I started it? You redirected to the C shell article but if you go look at the history, you'll notice I wrote the stuff you're redirecting to in that C shell article. If I'd wanted to redirect to something I'd already written, I think I could have done that myself. But the C shell is not not the only shell that supports command substitution nor was it even the first. Also, some shells (e.g, Bash and Microsoft's cmd.exe) use very different syntax to implement this feature. I expect a finished article should cover that. Why not wait and give it a chance? At least more than 4 minutes. Msnicki (talk) 23:50, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

C shell Overview of the Language section
I see you've raised an objection to C shell "Overview of the Language" section, because you believe it's "how to" material. I disagree, but I've presented the question for discussion on the C shell discussion page. Msnicki (talk) 01:51, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Foster v British Gas plc


The article Foster v British Gas plc has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Not exactly a copyvio, but is not a notable case, either

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  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  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. Bearian (talk) 19:03, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Notability (organizations and companies)
You have recently participated in discussion at an AFD for a broadcast station. I have recently posted the above topic on the talk page of the notability guideline for organizations and companies, to see if there is interest in adding language related to the notability of radio and TV broadcast stations to that guideline. Your input would be most welcome. Thanks. Edison (talk) 01:57, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

List of short nz films
I had thought that you meant the entire article was copied from the one page you gave as a source; thanks for clarifying the situation. First off — if it's a copyvio, don't copy the text on my talk page; it's equally a copyvio whatever namespace. Secondly, the only possible copyvio is in the synopsis text. Now that I understand your point, I agree that that text is problematic; however, each list of people who played various parts is simply a list of facts (there's no other way to express the titles or positions occupied by each individual), and as far as I can see, there's nothing else here except lists of facts and problematic synopses. Since the synopses are short, their problems are a small enough portion of the entire page that I'm simply going to rewrite the ones you pointed out and invite you to rewrite the others if you find that they're copied. Nyttend (talk) 10:58, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm. As noted on the talk page, they are all copyvios - and the films also appear to be non-notable. To me, the article appears to consist of (a) some unreferenced original research about short films, and (b) some copyrighted biographies of non-notable short films. I certainly don't have the inclination to fix up the copyvios when the article would still be fatally flawed. You clearly see more potential in the article than I, given that you've declined speedy deletion twice and started addressing the copyvios, but my inclination is to take this to AfD. I42 (talk) 12:52, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal
Hi I42. The reason I put Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal to AfD was because of the fact that at first glance, some of the sources appear to be notable. Specifically this one as many who would glance at it without close inspection may assume that Bola Today is a reputable news source when in reality it is a blog site that anyone can contribute to. In the past I've had situations where speedy deletions have been declined on this basis, and typically in these situations it has had to go through to AfD, so I preempted by taking it to AfD to begin with. This way if the article is deleted and someone decides to recreate it, as the subject's name seems to be spammed relentlessly on many internet forums, the AfD consensus will exist to allow a speedy deletion in the future. Keep up your good work! HarlandQPitt (talk) 18:18, 18 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Thx! My AfD comment was to emphasise how clear-cut it is I think the article should be deleted. IMO, raising the AfD was unneccessary, but not wrong, and there was no intended criticism of your action. If you did not see it as quite so clear cut then I agree that seeking wider opinion is no bad thing. I42 (talk) 19:30, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Big data CSD
Please review Wikipedia policy regarding CSDG4. You tagged this 3 minutes after it was recreated. I see that you did participate in the original debate and likened the phrase to a generic definition. But I cannot imagine that you were able to follow the guidelines. "excludes pages that are not substantially identical to the deleted version, pages to which the reason for the deletion no longer applies..." I appreciate the work you are doing, but hold off that Twinkle trigger on this entry and consider reading the wealth of supporting content? jk (talk) 23:55, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The article was deleted primarily because the term was considered to be non-notable. You have recreated an article about the same subject using the same term, so you have clearly disregarded the consensus established at AfD, and speedy deletion seemed (and still does seem) appropriate. You should instead have taken the article to WP:DRV if you believed the original reasoning no longer applied. Threatening to leave the project if the article was deleted was akin to the tantrum of a petulant child, but it did seem to sway the opinion of the admin who removed the tag. I42 (talk) 06:19, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The new article was substantially different from the deleted piece and directly addressed a key concern of almost all "delete" votes. My frustration is to notice you tagged CSD in three minutes, which makes me assume you didn't review the full case. I'm not calling anyone names, nearly expressing frustration when admins rush to remove well-considered content. Please assume good faith on Cirt's behalf here; I certainly appreciate his/her willingness to spend the time to find rough consensus and respect running code.jk (talk) 08:31, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Note on Canvasing
Thanks for the note - I was not aware of this norm. I will send notes to others who held "delete" opinions on this debate as well to avoid votestacking. jk (talk) 04:50, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks; that would be the best resolution. I was considering how to follow-up on this, becauase if I informed everyone else, that could also be seen as votestacking. Please use a neutral message merely reminding them that they had commented at the first AfD and that the article had been renominated; your own opinion will be obvious to them then they visit the AfD page! I42 (talk) 04:56, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * All done. With your help I was able to revise my actions to make them: Limited posting 	AND 	Neutral 	AND 	Nonpartisan 	AND 	Open. Friendly notes in this case are warranted because the previous debate dragged on with lack of participation to consensus. Cheers. jk (talk) 05:01, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep; thank you. I42 (talk) 05:32, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Oz Griebel
Do you have any suggestions as to how I can make the article about Oz Griebel acceptable? I strongly believe that Griebel meets the Wikipedia definition of notable. If I can do anything to emphasize neutrality, I would be happy to. I am not Oz Griebel, nor am I an employee or affiliate of his campaign. I simply believe that voters should have access to information on all candidates, and he is one that I am familiar enough with to start the article.Jsrgnt (talk) 17:14, 23 April 2010 (UTC)


 * If you can add references to non-trivial coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject that show notability outside of his campaign then that should satisfy inclusion requirements. All the ozforgovernor references (and similar) should also go IMO - they are not independent of the subject and they reveal, or appear to reveal, an agenda behind the article.

False!
I'm not trying to prove a point. What I'm saying is that the only difference between Austin Carlile and Nick Barham (see, it redirects) is that Carlile had another band and made a few guest appearances. There's no notability that states that he's important to Wikipedia other than the fact he was previously in Attack Attack! and Of Mice & Men.

And, by the way, the only reason I kept re-copying Barham's page back in was because Carlile had a page for the same reasons I stated above.

Have a nice day,

Speedy deletion of Phil Davis (Australian footballer)
Just a quick note to let you know that I removed the speedy deletion template you placed on Phil Davis (Australian footballer) because. The subject is a professional athlete who plays for a notable team. He almost certainly meets the WP:ATHLETE standard for notability, and certainly meets the "credible claim of significance" threshold to be safe from A7 deletion.

Please be aware that is normally inappropriate re-add a speedy deletion template when another editor (other than the creator of the article) has removed it, because speedy deletion is only for uncontroversial deletions. If you believe the article still needs to be deleted, please consider WP:PROD or WP:AFD which can be used for deletions which are not covered by the speedy deletion criteria.

I am not an administrator and I do not have any special authority in this matter. If you feel that I have made a mistake, please feel free to contact me on my talk page. Thparkth (talk) 11:32, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Please put article on the lemma. I worked for a long time at it.


 * There is nothing in the article - nor could I find anything - which indicates that either the band or the album meet the Wikipedia notability guidelines. There are indeed other articles which are equally suspect - see WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. I42 (talk) 08:24, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

An why exactly did you removed this Article previously? was is not NOTABLE enough?! and now it is?! Editors like you infuriate me, I understand that I am not 100% positive on how to structure the Articles according to Wikipedia standards but this gives you no right to just simply 'get rid off' an article. Having said that I would like to thank you for your informations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by IE4gle (talk • contribs) 18:23, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The WP:NSONGS guideline is pretty clear that non-notable songs should redirect, which is what I did. You did not establish any notability; nor did I find any before I redirected. I did not "get rid" of the article; I redirected to the artist - citing the guidelines, and preserving your original in the article history. Undoing the reversion without explanation could be seen as the "infuriating" action. I have since established that the song was a minor hit in Germany and have added that information to the article, but the guideline still suggests redirect is the correct course of action: "Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album".

BLP PRODs
Hey, thanks for your work in new page patrol- it's an endless and thankless task- but please be careful not to be too trigger happy. I just deleted P.R (producer), but you tagged it with a BLP PROD less than ten minutes after its creation (the author's first ever edit). With articles that aren't completely inappropriate, there's no harm in leaving them for a few hours or even a day or 2 to see if the author returns to improve it rather than tagging it and potentially putting them off returning altogether if they think it's going to be deleted.

MAKIO Model why is it being deleted
Why is my creation of the MAKO Model being deleted? What do I have to do to keep it posted? It is not an essay. It is a model I created for use in IT Governence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marccrudgington (talk • contribs) 18:59, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Why my page about a business man is being deleted ?
Dan Serfaty is the co-founder and CEO of Viadeo but is most of all a business man. I believe his business life is not only linked to viadeo anyway. Many CEOs of well known companies have their own page. Tks in advance for your explanation! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Julielaurent (talk • contribs) 11:12, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The primary issue is verifiability. You wrote about the subject without providing references which supported what you wrote other than the subject's own biography on his company website and that is not a reliable, independent source. See WP:BLP for more explanation. Additionally, you have a conflict of interest, per your own userpage, which is an obstacle to producing an article objectively; as a result you have produced a highly favourable biography ("He successfully turned the business around", "a huge success", etc). If the subject is truly notable someone else will write about him. I42 (talk) 11:54, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I understand your point! but you were to quick for me!! (the article was not finished yet ie: lack of references). Someone created a while ago his biography in fr.wikipedia, so I thought it made sense to create an english page for him as well. If you believed I was to compliant, you could have edited the text...Tks!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Julielaurent (talk • contribs) 12:40, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of New Indian Rupee Symbol Controversy
I saw the speedy deletion comment that you added to User talk:Internet spider, but there was no such tag on the New Indian Rupee Symbol Controversy article itself, which I believe is necessary to actually make the page listed for speeding deletion. I have added the tag now.

Incidentally, I agree with the motion to delete. If the information were to be re-worded to avoid copyvio, it would be better placed in the existing Indian rupee sign article. —sroc (talk) 13:06, 25 July 2010 (UTC)


 * That is because the article, with tag, was deleted but the same editor then created another version of it. The new version is significantly pruned from the first. I42 (talk) 13:28, 25 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, the article has been re-deleted and re-created, once again losing the history. This is unhelpful as others cannot see the history nor would they see any discussion on the subject. How can we stop this from happening? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sroc (talk • contribs) 14:41, 25 July 2010 (UTC)


 * If you view the page history then "view logs" you can see the page was deleted twice. However, only admins can see the page prior to the deletion. I42 (talk) 14:46, 25 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for setting up a redirect. You may have seen that I also added a note on the talk page to explain the reasons but you were too fast for me in setting up the redirect in the meantime. I have also left a note for Internet spider so he/she understands why. —sroc (talk) 15:05, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

I have no interest in thoroughly researching the guidance provided by yourself or following up the allegations you have made against me. I have made those edits with best intention and not as a vandalism. To be frank I do not care what you say or think.

I accept the wiki policy but your lengthy and wordy posts are just pathetic and very patronizing, The article is "notable" enough so END OFF.

Have a nice day —Preceding unsigned comment added by IE4gle (talk • contribs) 22:47, 6 August 2010 (UTC)


 * If you did read the links you would realise that (a) the article may well not meet notability guidelines, and (b) this is a collaborative project where you are expected to form consensus. You are overriding the consensus at AfD and refusing to discuss. This behaviour may well lead ultimately to a block. I42 (talk) 07:57, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Blake Farenthold
Hi I42. I am writing to let you know that I rejected the speedy deletion of Blake Farenthold as I do not believe that it meets WP:CSD. I fully understand that WP:POLITICIAN says that candidates are not generally held to be notable, but A7 is deliberately a lower standard than WP:N. I would consider that being a Republican candidate for the House of Representatives is a credible claim of significance or importance, if not of notability. Such articles really should be listed at AfD, because speedy deletion was devised to avoid having to discuss every article on some kid in their mum's basement, not on Congressional candidates. I am sorry for being a stickler about this. Best wishes, Rje (talk) 13:06, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Ultrastudio.org
While it may be that I made a mistake posting an article on Ultrastudio.org too early, WP:SPEEDY does not list lack of notability for the web site of this type as the reason for speedy deletion. As for normal deletion process, I cannot imagine it being done properly when the deletion discussion has been "resolved" by two people and without giving the original author at least several hours to reply. I am working on the project that seems doing well and plan to restore the article in the future. After I will do this, I think, no argumentation could be used that the article has been deleted with "consensus" of the two people and it should be treated as a contribution without the past history.

Chiba-Ken aka Save Our Souls
Hi I42 (hope I spelled it right),

you wanted deleting the article about the American Post hardcore band Save Our Souls. Well I found something which might help the article to get notable for the en:WP.

I found the official festival poster for the Sunset Strip Music Festival 2010. The band played together with bands like The Smashing Pumpkins, Volbeat, Lost Patrol, Kid Cudi and Slash. [http://pulserecordings.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/SSMF2010_Poster_11x17_web-610x924.jpg Link] there.

They will play together with Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo at the Whisky A Go-Go on the September 19tn, 2010 and they will play at the Las Vegas Hilton, where the band invited directors and producers of the Universal Studios.

By the way: I found an interview with singer George William on Examiner.com. You can find it on the german article about the band

Maybe it is notable. Please answer on my german account Goroth —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.168.16.89 (talk) 22:10, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Elizabeth McCarthy
Elizabeth McCarthy....little confused why you think she is an "extra"? What knowledge do you have the film industry? Elizabeth McCarthy is not an extra in the shows she has starred in and you might want to do more research before you nominate a posting for deletion. IMDB does not list extras to films just so you know and extras are not integral to to a plot line nor do they get credits or belong to unions. You might want to check your references rather than your opinions —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lizflicks (talk • contribs) 23:01, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I have found no evidence, despite looking, that she has "starred" in any shows. The test of whether someone is notable is whether they are the subject of significant independent, reliable coverage; if you can find that and put references to it in the article then it will be safe from deletion. I42 (talk) 23:35, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

I have posted references from a book, magazine and from the Internet Movie Database as well as sites from Fringe I don't think you looked that hard I have also listed some of her credits  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lizflicks (talk • contribs) 00:07, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

A bit too fast, I think. There was a terrible Goodram article, which I redirected here. Wilk may not be the biggest producer but it is in Central Europe.

Hey. I'm going to re-instate my A7 tag, as it is not invalid. The IP address is obviously the editor who created the article, and so was never allowed to remove your G11 tag in the first place. If this is a problem, please let me know on my talkpage. -- Lear's Fool 12:04, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

Colonel Warden RFC
I42, I have reverted, as BrownHairedGirl made it clear that she was not endorsing your view because of the last sentence. I wonder if you'd consider striking that sentence, which was a problem for other editors besides BHG. Kanguole 15:34, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 * BHG wrote '#:' at the start of her comment rather than just a '#'. Because there was the # (to number it) I suspect it was intended to be numbered but I understand why you reverted it. It is true that most people who responded to my view do not agree with the last sentence but it was crucial to the point I was trying to make, so I do not wish to strike it. The problem is, CW has been asked over and over again, over a great period of time, to work collaboratively and he has ignored this and all advice offered to him. I think it is beyond the point of no return - even though his intention may be good his impact is negative and Wikipedia would be better off if he found another outlet for his talents. Although this may be harsh, it is in the best interest of the project as a whole. I42 (talk) 16:40, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Writing '#:' is a common way of striking a vote in a numbered list, used across Wikipedia project pages. If she'd written '::', it would have messed up the numbering.
 * As for that sentence, I agree with the others that a ban is premature, but of course it's your view to phrase as you please. Kanguole 17:03, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Userfy or Undelete Page
I nominate and or request that Chris Daniel be undeleted as it is not in violation of G11 but rather is identical to other existing pages such as Pat Lykos. The template come from her page. This article is factual in all aspects and has been properly reference. as an FYI, Harris County is the 3rd largest county in the US and the Largest in TX. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harris DC (talk • contribs) 04:54, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * From the obviously gushing terms such as "has dedicated his professional career to public service" and "Chris Daniel oversaw record growth" to the overall positive tone of the article as a whole, this article goes beyond being merely non-neutral and clearly meets speedy G11 requirements: "it does nothing but promote some entity, person or product and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic".
