Deletion of Michael L. Carucci page
Any advice you can offer for getting Michael L. Carucci's page restored. I had spent quite a bit of time deleting content that was from press releases, and sourcing other media articles. Michael is known not just for being the highest selling agent in Boston but is better known for a 103 count indictment against him for selling real estate to reputed mob boss Stephen the Rifleman Flemmi. I had sited the case under career adversity and I linked the actual case. I am new to wikipedia so any thoughts you can offer would be appreciated.Michael L. Carucci --Salcorn (talk) 11:03, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I am guessing you could write up an Articles for creation draft for that topic. I have to ask, are you perchance the subject? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 11:52, 8 October 2016 (UTC)


 * I will look into that. No I am not the subject. I know him because I'm also in the Boston real estate market as a competitor. Was surprised it got deleted and didn't know if I could get it restored. --Salcorn (talk) 12:15, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia page for Avangate was deleted
Hi Jo-Jo Eumerus. You recently(yesterday) deleted our company's Wikipedia page. Let me just say that you broke our hearts(sadface). The contributor that made the suggestion stated that the page has been deleted once in 2007 and that there is a history that should be taken into consideration but since then, the page has been improved and we worked with Wikipedia contributors to make sure it complies to your rules(new content has been added in 2015 if I am not mistaken) and at one point the page was accepted and the skies were blue. Since then, extremely small changes have been made, such as changes in the management team, new awards etc. So why, all of a sudden, the page is not working for you guys anymore? Also, they mentioned that the best sources were Forbes, TechCrunch and BBC, and that's true, those might be very popular among the general public, but there are many more relevant websites from our industry that we listed as Sources. And not all of them are coverage articles, we also sourced Reports and Award nominations(even though I do not quite comprehend why this is an issue, coverage articles from outside sources should be perfectly fine, that is how PR works, businesses pitch a story to journalists and they follow the story if they are interested and plus, many more other Wikipedia pages have coverage articles listed as sources).

I really can't understand how everything works perfectly fine and a while after it's just not. Can you please please help us out regarding this? Is there any way we can salvage the page? We will try to make it less promotional, if that's the case, even another contributor stated that does "look substantial and informative". — Preceding unsigned comment added by RalucaMarmureanu (talk • contribs) 13:02, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Greetings, . The folks at Articles for deletion/Avangate (2nd nomination) did consider the sourcing of the article as insufficient. I presume the reason why it was deleted only now is because only now has someone gotten across the page. The thing about PR is that PR - public relations - is generally not reliable as it tends to embellish the record of a company and omit shortcomings. Hence PR is not considered a reliable source and for us to have an article on something we need it to be discussed by reliable sources that are independent from the thing. And these don't appear to exist for Avangate. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 14:54, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

15:18, 5 October 2016 (UTC)~ "Ideally all information should be cited to reliable sources, such as published books and mainstream press publications" - Are Press publications allowed then, or not? And mainstream is a pretty sensitive word. In the ecommerce / tech industry, there are publications such as www.reuters.com, www.ecommercetimes.com, www.forrester.com, www,gartner.com, www.zdnet.com, www.eweek.com, to all which we referenced, that have a huge domain authority, therefore are extremely authoritative, important and reliable. And once more, we added more than coverage articles, we added Analyst Reports and award mentions from websites such as Delloite, RedHerring, Sia, which are all extremely relevant, not to mention trustworthy, for our industry. Also, for a Wikipedia page to live, someone has to approve it first, therefore someone did get across the page at some point and gave it a thumbs up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RalucaMarmureanu (talk • contribs) 15:18, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Um, Wikipedia pages don't need "approval" from anybody. Methinks that by "press publications" you mean stuff submitted by the company? Awards are not sources, they do not generally create notability. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:20, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

As far as I know, our page was awaiting approval in 2015, when we redid the content. I may be mistaken in any case, my bad. And no, press publications do not mean "stuff submitted by the company". PR does not necessarily work like that. IF we did that, then someone from our company would be listed as the writer of the articles(these are called bylined articles), which is not the case for the references in our Wikipedia page. And the Help article above doesn't even mention details such as these, if it was featured in a mainstream press publication seems quite enough. As for the award sources, they're not coming from ghost websites, they belong to reputable sources such as www.siia.com, www.redherring.com , www.forrester.com etc. It kind of feels unfair considering we listed highly authoritative and reliable sources with verified domain authority above 50, and the Wikipedia team doesn't see them that way for some reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RalucaMarmureanu (talk • contribs) 15:42, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, Draft:Avangate. Still, PR sources are highly unlikely to be accepted as evidence of notability due to the reliability concerns and the fact that they are by definition not independent (see WP:WHYN). Unfortunately, not every company gets sufficient coverage to receive an article here. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:24, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

We're just confused at this point and we would really need some clear pointers regarding what's accepted as a source and what is not. Especially since all our competitors have even fewer coverage articles listed as sources, and from almost the same publications(Forbes, Business Journal, Zdnet etc). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuora https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_River https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlueSnap https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripe_(company) More than that, they all have as sourced their own website, something that we avoided doing. I know this does not impact you in any way, byt we really worked hard on this Wikipedia page, even we collaborated with one of your contributors to make it right, so please lend us a hand with this situation, we'd be more than grateful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RalucaMarmureanu (talk • contribs) 08:43, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I am not profoundly familiar with such sources but I'd imagine that your competitors might not meet WP:NCORP either. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:09, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Bottom line, is there anything we can do regarding this situation? Can we restore the page in any way? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by RalucaMarmureanu (talk • contribs)
 * I guess you could write up a draft page on Draft:Avangate with new sources and send it to WP:AFC or ask here. I'll say though, the chances of such articles to stay here are generally low. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:23, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

File:Miguel Hidalgo mural by Aarón Piña Mora.JPG
Hi. I noticed that the file File:Miguel Hidalgo mural by Aarón Piña Mora.JPG was deleted for copyright reasons, but in Mexico we enjoy of freedom of panorama as marked at Commons. Is it possible to restore the file? ©  Tb hotch ™ (en-2.5). 06:07, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
 * That's a weird FoP tag, normally we do not allow "no derivatives" works on Commons and provided that normal commercialization of the work is not affected sounds like a restriction on commercial use as well. I'd ask at commons:COM:VPC before restoring that, sure. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:07, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I think it is a mistranslation. The law says "provided that normal exploitation of the work is not affected". The template has been discussed multiple times for multiple reasons, and it is simply because the law is vague (if you think this is vague, Mexican TOO is even more vague). But if you want to discuss it at Com, it's OK. ©   Tb hotch ™ (en-2.5). 05:42, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Files_for_discussion/2016_September_10
Can you please relist this one? I didn't have a chance to respond. There are issues with the "keep" response and with the uploader's upload history czar  04:04, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Reopened as you requested. Take note that in de minimis cases the Ets-Hokin v. Skyy Spirits, Inc. court ruling sets out a rather broad category for "no, this isn't a derivative work" though. I presume that by the uploader's upload history you mean you have concerns that the photo may have been made by someone else? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 08:44, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

The Next Web's wikipedia entry
Hey Jo-Jo,

You recently deleted our Wikipedia entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Next_Web) and from what I gather the supposed lack of notability is the problem. We are one of the bigger tech platforms in the world (http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/thenextweb.com), we host award-winning conferences (http://www.eubeafestival.com/winners/archive/?year_edition=395&view_edition=ev_winner&show_categories=on&category_filter=3&submit_edition=Show) and we just opened a huge startup hub together with Google (https://blog.google/topics/google-europe/google-entrepreneurs-welcomes-latest-european-tech-hub-amsterdams-tq/), among many other activities.

How would we go about getting our entry restored?

Thanks,

-Nino de Vries, Social Media Manager for The Next Web — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.97.112.146 (talk) 13:02, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Greetings, Mr. de Vries. When we talk of notability, we generally do not simply mean "fame", "well-known" and the like*; generally it means that reliable sources (such as major newspapers) that are independent from The Next Web have written about your platform. As you can see here, people determined that apparently nobody does that yet. You'd have to wait for people to start talking about your platform. And most platforms/people/groups don't get talked about. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 15:03, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

* Sometimes I think sourceability would be a better name for that guideline, as it describes the rationale for the guideline more clearly.

Greetings Jo-Jo,

Loads of well established sites have written about us and/or used our reporting as a primary source, some examples:

We're also frequently features on the frontpage of Yahoo.com as they use our feed for their tech news.

How do we go about getting our page restored?

Thanks so much, -Nino — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.97.112.146 (talk) 09:04, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Seems like the first two or three sources qualify as "passing mentions" which are not enough to justify an article with. StartupJuncture looks like a self-published source to me although one that may meet WP:USEBYOTHERS. I dunno about the remaining sources, maybe write a draft at Draft:The Next Web and send it to Articles for creation? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:08, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Hello
Hello Jo-Jo Eumerus, This article should be deleted Dremo it is now a clear view. This article should be keep on wikipedia Black Magic (musician). The keep by the census was a strong keep according to the statement of this user Jamie Tubers.--Historical Ben (talk) 20:51, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

inre your close here...
So as to not have the close questioned, did you intend to write that notability was established?  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 22:11, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Getter (musician) deleted
Hi, today I went to search for a new artist after hearing him on YT. Anyways, I got to Wikipedia only to see his page has been recently deleted. I have reviewed the reasons for deletion under the proposed deletion page. I think it's possible to fix some of the sources so that he is not only self-referenced. I ask that you re-instate the Getter page and remove some of the self references, and I will seek out outside sources for his bio and info. I do believe it was deleted in error though because he is a somewhat famous musician who merits a Wikipedia page about his contributions and place in EDM. Cfstonge (talk) 04:40, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Greetings, I'll answer this afternoon. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 06:07, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * So, folks in Articles for deletion/Getter (musician) argued that there was not enough independent coverage to establish that the topic meets either the WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO inclusion criteria. Technically, it is not my job to remove self references but I can restore the article as a user sandbox for you to add better sources to. Afterwards it could be sent to Articles for creation.

Notes to self
Unless any talk page stalkers are interested: For those who wonder, I am working on User:Jo-Jo Eumerus/Lake Minchin as part of a short project to add articles about the ancient lakes that covered the Altiplano of South America. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:31, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Are and  pertinent for Lake Minchin or for Lake Tauca? Minchin was once considered the largest of the two but the highest shorelines were later dated to belong to Lake Tauca.
 * may have a good summary on various timing hypotheses for Lake Minchin.
 * http://www.ppegeo.igc.usp.br/index.php/bigsp/article/view/2961/2514: A fringe viewpoint or are there other people backing that idea? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:23, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

Restoring Independent Music Awards page
Plenty of third party articles about Music Resource Group's Independent Music Awards can be found once you carefully enter your search terms. There are a lot of different independent music awards, but Independent Music Awards is one of the most notable, internationally-recognized, and long-lasting. Here are some articles posted by noteworthy music industry sources:

Keith Richard's official website announcing him as a judge for The IMAs: [1] A tweet from Amy Lee of Evanescence about her nomination: [2] BMI (largest performing rights organization in the US): [3] SESAC (fasting growing performing rights organization in the US): [4] Listed here first among "The 5 Best Music Awards For Independent Artists": [5] Music Gateway: [6] PluginMusic.com: [7] Bandzoogle: [8] American Songwriter: [9] Punknews.org: [10]

There's plenty more once you filter out the rest of the less notable music awards from your Google searches. Please reconsider restoring this page, as many independent artists from around the world consider it a valuable resource for supporting their art!

Discombobd (talk) 18:04, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Technically, you needed to persuade the editors in the discussion of the deletion (the job of the closing administrator is to assess what the decision was and to implement it, not to check the notability themselves), and I don't think most of the sources given here would seeing as they are either self-published (like Twitter) or not independent from the subject (the interviews). I suggest you could try your hand at Articles for creation. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 18:37, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Mike Hawkins (musician)
Hi there. I'm concerned about your decision to keep Mike Hawkins (musician) following Articles for deletion/Mike Hawkins (musician). You stated that your decision was "per the sources cited by Alsee". I examined those sources:
 * This is an interview (primary source).
 * This is an interview (primary source).
 * This is not in English, so I don't know what it is.

Notability (people) states: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject".

As well, the deletion discussion contained canvassing by User:Infopage100.

As a courtesy, I will "ping" - who was not successful at speedy deleting the article here on Sept. 26, 2016.

Thanks. Magnolia677 (talk) 21:18, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll address these concerns this afternoon. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 05:48, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Going by Google Translate the third source does not look like an interview to me. Anyhow, I am generally of the opinion that double-checking sources is what the editors in an AfD need to do, not the closing administrator since it's fundamentally an editorial decision. These sources went uncontested for over a week thus I did consider this a consensus that notability was indeed proven. As for the canvassing, I see that both Drmies (who was not canvassed) and Alsee told XPanettaa (the actual canvasser) off for this and then voted to !keep with reasoned arguments anyway, hence I decided to factor in their arguments as well.
