Please do not but prod tags back to articles after they have been contested. If you wish to delete this article, take it to AfD. Catchpole 11:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Deletion process
Kyriakos,

I'm glad you dropped by with a question rather than get into an "edit war" over deletion tags.

You have the "right" to nominate a biographical article for speedy deletion under A7 criteria if the article does "not assert the importance or significance of its subject." For example, if the article gave the birthdate and said he was a businessman, that would fall under no assertion of notability. However, if there is additional information, for example that he is a CEO or business owner, then on some level, there is an assertion of some notability. If you nominate an article for speedy deletion and another editor disagrees with your nomination, for example, feels that there is notability, it is acceptable for that editor to remove the tag, while leaving a comment about why the tag was removed. A simple explanation in the edit summary should be sufficient. If you still question the notability, you may return and nominate the article under Articles for deletion. (From the speedy deletion criteria &mdash; "If the assertion is disputed or controversial, it should be taken to AfD instead.")

When there is an assertion of notability, and if you feel that the subject is not sufficiently notable to have an article on Wikipedia &mdash; see WP:Notability &mdash; you have two choices: To determine which one to use, review the article history. If it has previously been tagged with a speedy tag or with a prod tag, and the tag has been removed, then this indicates that the lack of notability is disputed, so AFD is the appropriate route.
 * 1) Proposed deletion (prod) or
 * 2) Articles for deletion (AFD).

As in the case of speedy delete tags, with a prod tag, any editor may dispute it and remove the tag, as above. So, any further nomination for deletion should be done through AFD.

In the specific case of Christos Panopoulos, the history shows that after you nominated it for speedy, the tag was removed and a reason given for the removal of the tag. You again speedy tagged it with a more appropriate tag (A7). (However, in this case, I would have moved to AFD, rather than push the speedy tag. In addition, please keep in mind WP:Civil, re: "haha".) The speedy tag was removed with explanation in the edit history (did not meet csd (Criteria for speedy deletion)). This is acceptable. You then nominated it with a prod tag, which should have been AFD instead, as the nominiation was disputed by virtue of removal of the tag, etc. TruthbringerToronto's actions in this case were acceptable and he did provide explanation in the edit summary. AFD is where community consensus is sought to determine whether the article should be deleted.

Hope this helps. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 17:56, 1 September 2006 (UTC)


 * P.S. The policy on PROD is very clear: See WP:PROD &mdash; "Contested deletions: If anyone, including the article's creator, removes Template:Prod from an article for any reason, do not put it back...".  The page on WP:PROD provides the full information about the policy.  It would be a good idea to fully familiarize yourself with the three different deletion processes by reading the policies.

Notability questions
The issue of notabililty for athletes &mdash; the criteria are specific to the sport/region/country, etc. For example, an athlete who has represented their country in the Olympic games would generally be considered to be notable. For U.S. sports such as American football, baseball, and basketball, a player who is signed to a professional team is generally considered to be notable. In the case of football (soccer), generally, in Europe, players on the national team or signed to a first division team would be notable. Stature of a team does not refer to physical height, but rather to the second dictionary definition, specifically "respect coming from achievement or development".

Since your general interest seems to be with respect to football players, I've directed my comments specifically to that issue. I hope this helps. If you have further questions, come back to my talk page and ask. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 20:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Your edits to Ethnikos Achna FC
You recently removed the statement: "It is the only Cypriot team to have managed to win a European trophy" from the Ethnikos Achna FC article. You did not leave an edit summary to provide an explanation. Is this a false statement? Why did you remove it? &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 20:38, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Concerning categories
You recently removed the Category:Basketball teams from the Chicago American Gears article. By virtue of the hoops-team-stub, the article will be in the Category:Basketball team stubs, which is a subcategory of Basketball teams. However, when/if the article is expanded and the stub tag removed, it will no longer be in that subcategory. It is correct to leave the Category:Basketball teams in the article. &mdash; ERcheck (talk) 16:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

PAEEK restored
This article has been restored after its deletion was contested at Deletion review. As you nominated the article to be deleted via WP:PROD, you may wish to nominate the article for a full deletion discussion at Articles for deletion. --Sam Blanning(talk) 23:02, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


 * As you have probably realised by now your feeble attempt to get PAEEK deleted has failed spectacularly. You and your alias (Moutalos) were the only ones who voted for deletion and even the users who you invited to support you, in the end voted against you. You have wasted everyone’s time again so I would suggest that in the future you concentrated on contributing more constructively. I have also noticed that you have deleted several notable articles in the past in a stealth manner simply by redirecting them elsewhere. Just to let you know that I will be monitoring your actions closely to make sure that you do not interfere again in a detrimental way. Georgeg 01:30, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Trawling for votes/opinions is considered highly improper, bordering on vandalism. Please do not persist in this behaviour, you risk being accused of vandalism. (aeropagitica) 14:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Achaia Football Clubs Article
Just a heads up; it is apparently against Wikipedia policy (which I was unaware of) to go around asking for support on votes so be careful, don't get yourself in trouble. If you could find out how to go about reporting such behaviour, however, you could perhaps report the others who are doing this that you were concerned about. Regardless, don't worry about whether or not there are fewer 'delete' votes for this article. A common misconception is that the Articles for Deletion are votes; they are not. Administrators who come through and decide whether or not to delete an article after its five days on the AfD do NOT tally the votes, rather they take into account the arguments on each side and decide in favor of which side made the better case. There could only be 2 people calling for deletion and 10 calling for keeping the article and the administrator could decide to delete. The people who are simply saying 'keep' and nothing else are adding nothing and will not be taken into account. No need to get others to come and 'vote' to delete; if our arguments are more valid and show how the article violate Wikipedia policy the administrators will act accordingly. --The Way 17:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Please be careful as to how you use that word. Vandalism means inserting "fuck you" into an article, it doesn't cover content disputes. Please read my edit-summaries, "Turkish" doesn't mean "from Turkey". It is an ethnic designation. Do not remove relevant cats, like METU alumni, or interwikis, or info that needs to be there per WP:BIO, like birth dates and places etc. Cheers! Baristarim 20:12, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Please read my note above again. If your reasoning is correct, then there is no reason they should be included under "Cypriot etc" either, they are not citizens of the Republic of Cyprus, right? That's all. In any case, you are erasing a lot of important and relevant information, even interwikis. In fact, it is so much that even the VandalBot reverted you. Please be careful with 3RR as well. Please see WP:BIO as well. Thanks. Baristarim 20:36, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't have a problem with them being under "Cypriot X". And do not politicize this issue as if you are trying to get one over someone :) I don't give a rat's ass about Denktash's grandsons. I have three passports, so what? The so-called "KKTC"? :) Well, it looks like I am not the one politicizing this issue. Nevertheless, the problem is you are deleting a lot of information that needs to be there. No, the VandalBot reverted you because you also deleted interwikis, alumni cats etc. Please read WP:BIO if you have not done so yet, do not erase information that needs to be there. You erased a whole birthdate and place information from one of the biographies. Baristarim 20:48, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * You didn't explain this, however. Not only you removed info that needs to be there per WP:BIO, you even removed the interwiki to Turkish Wikipedia!! If I wasn't assuming good faith, I would be suspecting some serious POV pushing there. Then you accuse me of being a vandal, give me a break man... Baristarim 21:01, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Nor this, where you removed METU alumni category, or this where you even removed the Living people category, along with his birthdate and birthplace, that also is required to be there per Wikipedia policies. As I said, if I wasn't assuming good faith, I would be suspecting some serious sneaky POV pushing. Please do not make such disruptive edits in the future. Thanks. Baristarim 21:04, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * No, it's ok, I have no problem with "Cypriot X" category. :) I hear your reasoning and as long as you are only going to modify the categories, then it's fine with me. In any case, I don't have much time to devote to this unfortunately. Cheers! Baristarim 21:18, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Turkish Cypriot politicians
Turkish Cypriots just like the Turks of Turkey, unlike Greek Cypriots and Greeks who are European, are of Asian descent and therefore Asians. That is why I changed the category, despite the fact that Turkish Cypriot MPs are observers in the European Council and Parliament and other European organizations. Politically Cyprus ,particularly the internationally recognized Republic of Cyprus, as a member of the European Union and other European organizations is part of Europe while geographically it is in Asia. Though being Turkish Cypriot myself, the categorization was solely made on ethnic grounds and not on political grounds.

Kindest regards Saguamundi

Politeness is a must
How can you be certain that 99% of Turkish Cypriots feel European and want to join the European many don not. While the present Turkish Cypriot government still favors joining the European Union, the people are divided over the issue. After the Greek Cypriot population voted against the Annan Plan in 2004, the unification of Cyprus was also prevented. This infurated many Turkish Cypriots and the current Turkish Cypriot government. A great opportunity was lost that only entrenches the division of the island into a permanent one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Saguamundi (talk • contribs) 16:12, 8 January 2007 (UTC).

A certain comment of yours
Hi KRBN

I just noticed this comment of yours. . Since you must be referring to Grutness and myself, it would have been a nice courtesy if you'd confronted us with this claim rather than posting it to others first. Not that it is any of your business; I'm not pro-Turk, nor am I pro-Greek and I am quite sure Grutness feels the same way. Since your post seems to concern him as well, I've sent Grutness a message about this. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 23:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi again.
 * I accept your apology and I appreciate your honesty. What annoyed me wasn't as much being labelled a pro-Turk, since I can't really stop others from accusing me of bias anyway if they feel that way. What offended me was noticing that the message looked very much like a translation of a previous message written in Greek. As long as I'm on the English Wikipedia, I avoid using my own language unless the matter is completely harmless and would be complicated unnecessarily by using the English language. E.g. I discussed Scandinavian copyright laws in Danish the other day, but I don't discuss political issues using my own language. I don't know why you consider Grutness to be anti-Cypriot. Regarding the stub template both he and I try to avoid getting a TRNC-stub since that will open a can of worms and possibly lead to neverending revert wars with similar templates regarding articles for a dozen nations. Consequently we try to have templates that won't become objects of edit wars. If TRNC-stub passes then Kosovo-stub and Chechnya-stub will be next and we already have Transnistria-stub, and Somaliland-stub, both of which are headaches of their own and both really annoy me. We've finally managed to get rid of Ossetia-stub and it looks like Abkhazia-stub will go the same way. Since I've sorted many thousands of articles, I'd be very sad seing much of this work undone in a series of edit wars. I understand how you feel about your flag, you love your country just like I love mine. If I knew a solution that would mean that the Cypriot material could be contained within one set of categories / stub templates and still use the UN-recognized flag, I would support it. Unfortunately, I am not too optimistic in that regard, which is why I supported the no-image solution since this solution has been used on controversial material before (WesternSahara-stub). It is far from elegant but I find this the lesser of two evils. I'm pretty sure we agree that a two-flag template is out of the question? Moving to a different track: If the mess about the politicians doesn't end, I'll suggest that you make a post to WP:WSS and ask them about how to categorize Cyprus properly continent-wise. In that respect, I remember Grutness as being the strongest supporter that the island belongs to Europe rather than Asia and I don't remember anyone arguing strongly otherwise. The mess could have been helped if we'd had a stub template for Cypriot politicians, which could - if necessary - feed into both the European and Asian categories, just like we do for the Turkish material. But you have already guessed why I've never proposed neither this template nor a -bio template. Cyprus-stub was my first proposal on WP:WSS and I've since regretted this many times seeing how controversial this template became. Another possibility regarding the politician material would be to return it to Politician-stub. I've only left countries that are hard to categorize in this category: Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. If you don't like this solution, I'd suggest that you try the talk page of WP:WSS. I agree that at the end of the day, Cyprus is most logically categorized under Europe and all indications I've seen say that WP:WSS feels the same way. Regards.

If you have an issue with the AFD closure, you can file a deletion review, although the consensus was vastly in favor of keeping the article. The fact that he played for the Cyprus national team is valid for WP:BIO, as StephP stated during the AFD discussion.
