Regarding @n1m0$!ty
I just wanted to let you know that I cannot speedy delete this article because it does make a statement of importance. However, it could be argued that the article doesn't assert notability, which is a separate entity. If you wish to pursue the deletion of this article, WP:AfD or using a proposed deletion is the route to go. Icestorm815 (talk) 06:33, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Query about sourcing net movements
Hi there. I appreciate your adding the tag to my NaPoWriMo article about the need for "reliable sources." I read the page on "reliable sources" and was left wondering how one can highlight what has been an active 7 year old online writing. It hasn't been noted in books or traditional resources, but has existed online all this time. I'm sincerely asking how I can reference this beyond making links to the websites and archives that have spoken to the existence of the NaPoWriMo project over these many years. Thanks for any assistance on this question. --Splendoroftheirroots (talk) 20:45, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Terrier Nation proposed deletion
Hi there,

I am fairly new at editing for wikipedia and I can't seem to understand why Terrier Nation's page continually is proposed for deletion. Can you possibly explain this to me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terriernation (talk • contribs) 21:08, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately isn't sufficiently notable for a wikipedia article. Specifically it lacks significant coverage in reliable 3rd party sources.  The sources you've listed there are primary sources.  Also your username is a problem as well.  It appears to be promotional in nature.  You should consider creating another.--RadioFan (talk) 01:38, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

you requested that my page Nitric Iguana be deleted. My band is a group of middle school kids without funds for a website and have no other means of advertising or spreading the word about our band so we can get a gig. please let us use the wikipedia page as a temporary website until we have funds to get a real one. please, RSVP to me please.

Ready Set Go Productions - Deletion under CSD Declined
Hi, I believe this article makes claims of notability. I think this needs to go to Articles for Deletion if you want a deletion discussion to occur. Camw (talk)

Hello, RadioFan! I am David Owens, KOPN's General Manager. My email is kopngm@kopn.org. I have zero experience in editing Wikipedia, and frankly, little to no time to do so. However I would like to add and correct content on the KOPN site. One specific is the KOPN logo. Would you please contact me? Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Avid Darkly (talk • contribs) 16:16, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Playbox Technology (+ Playbox TV) pages
Hi,

That was a truly speedy deletion !

I didn't get a chance to add that Playbox technology created "Playbox TV" (also deleted), a software package, enabling community, and lower end TV stations to survive and flourish worldwide.

The eventual point of these pages was to explore and explain how small/community funded TV stations with antiquated, labour intensive systems, were able to transition to computerised, automated setups.

I was then going to explain that start-up technology located in the former Soviet Bloc were able to conduct R&D, etc. at a fraction of the cost of their western counterparts.

How do I re-instate the page so that I can add the notability elements to it ?

Cheers.

Gordoux (talk) 07:22, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The article was deleted because it didn't meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, specifically Notability (organizations and companies). This article failed to establish the notability of this company and appeared to be nothing more than an advertisement.  Take a look at WP:CORP for details, specifically about the inclusion of citations to significant coverage in secondary sources.


 * Looking at Google news, there are some coverage to pull from and this article has a chance of being notable but be careful to pick reliable sources and avoid those that are simply of company press releases. Also avoid blogs as they are generally self published and not considered reliable.  Trade Publications such as Broadcast Engineering or newspapers like the Detroit Free Press are considered notable.  If you cant find significant coverage for this company, you should wait to add the article until significant coverage can be found or it will likely get deleted again.  The same applies for article on the Playbox TV product, siginificant coverage focused on the product itself must be cited to warrent its own article.  You should consider including information on the product in the company article and create a redirect from the product name to the company name so readers will find it.


 * As for restoring the article you can request a Deletion review. The article will be moved under your userid (something like User:Gordoux/Playbox Technologies) where you can work on it until you are ready to put it back out into the main article space.  You can always request help by adding the helpme template, or you are welcome to post a question here on my talk page.


 * One last thing, if you have a close connection to this company, you shouldn't be working with articles concerning the company or its products at all. Take a look at Conflict of interest for more information there.--RadioFan (talk) 15:52, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Shanell Woodgett
I am writing to contest the deletion of Shanell Woodgett in the Wikipedia. If a songwriter with consistent credits in the top 20 of the billboard charts lacks notability then who is indeed notable? The article contains numerous references to external sites that are considered authorities on artist/songwriter credibility. Furthermore, Shanell Woodgett's name and work was already found in numerous pre-existing articles, so a page dedicated to her was justifiable. Although "being related to a notable person in itself confers no degree of notability upon that person," the inclusion of a reference to her sister was necessary, however Shanell's contributions to the music industry are still significant despite the relation.Del N. Paulson (talk) 19:37, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Please read the notice on the page and follow the instructions there. Sufficient references need to be in place to prove notability.--RadioFan (talk) 22:17, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Brav
Hello,

I see you posted a PROD on the Brav Article. I also see that it was removed. I decided to place a speedy deletion request on it so that an administrator will look into it. Just thought I would let you know.--gordonrox24 (talk) 13:02, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Mark Hoffman (Saw series)
Wow, I am impressed at how quick you got to reading my page! I am planning on putting in citations soon so I'll leave the tag up for now but please don't delete the page itself. Thanks, GroundZ3R0 002 (talk) 13:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I, like hundreds of similar editors, monitor new pages to try to weed out the junk that just brings Wikipedia down in quality. This looks like something that could be made notable, but not with out references to 3rd party sources.  The tag is a reminder to do that.  It's not tagged for deletion and has been removed from the queue of new articles for editors to review so you dont need to worry.  You'll have some time to properly cite it.--RadioFan (talk) 13:07, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Space Coast Area Transit
Sorry, it was not my intention to remove any of your work. In fact, I was in the middle of an edit when I got an error message about an interfering edit (yours?). Perhaps you should wait a few minutes before following up a new article.

In any event, I dispute the tag you added. Space Coast Area Transit is a GOVERNMENT sponsored transportation service in Brevard County, Florida. I do not see how a "third party source" can outweigh a government entity. It would be like adding your tag to the State of Florida page. Silly. Gamweb (talk) 00:08, 6 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Are there no other 3rd party sources you can add? Adding a single government source does not relieve the article of it's need for significant coverage in 3rd party sources.  Certainly someone else has written about this bus service?  Certainly there is something else that can be said about it.--RadioFan (talk) 00:10, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Next time
Sorry, it was a test. I tought my internet was broken so i made a test page because is stood the page cannot be wiewed when i tried to create an other page. I didnt expected it too work. The Rolling Camel (talk) 00:35, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * no worries, it's tagged for deletion. If you blank a page you accidentally create, it will eventually get tagged for deletion as well.

Cameron Wakefield
I've provided the reference you pretty much asked for in this edit. For your information. Young Artist Awards are easily Googleable since all past nominations and winners are recorded on the internet at http://www.youngartistawards.org. You might want to do a quick google and add it instead of tagging them in the future. - Mgm|(talk) 11:24, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:BIO asks for "significant" coverage in 3rd party sources. Hasn't anyone else written something about this actor?  An award will certainly help establish notability, but there's got to be more or this article is likely to be nominated for deletion.--RadioFan (talk) 12:39, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

citation help
helpme I'm having problems describing the importance of reliable sources and citing sources to concerning Caressa & Francais. I dont doubt that the article is notable but the references need work and I'm just not describing the problems in a way that is getting across. I've tried wikifying some of the references but the editor in question has reverted those changes. I've also pointed to WP:CITE and WP:FOOTNOTES. If another editor could assist, I would appreciate it.--RadioFan (talk) 18:55, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You might get a response more quickly if you use helpme. GT5162 (我的对话页) 21:46, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Hi RadioFan. Well done for spotting the issues with the article so quickly. Quite often, the process of writing a new article can be long and involve different stages and guidance is always good. I can see that Milliot has looked at the templates and he does appear to be working on recifying the issues - perhaps it would be worth just looking again in a day or so and re-templating if necessary and leaving a nice, non-templated helpful message with Milliot to explain in detail what's wrong? Thanks, Martinp23 22:50, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Games (band)
Why didn't you click the external links and the references before deleting an article? It was taken from a blog about the 1970's and 1980's new wave and punk scene in Liverpool. IDIOT. Francodamned (talk) 03:17, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Restore the article i created!!!!Francodamned (talk) 03:39, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't delete the article, I flagged it for an admin to consider for deletion. If you feel it should be restored, follow the Deletion review procedure.  Be prepared to provide some additional references however, blogs are generally not considered reliable sources.  I personally found nothing in a Google book or news search specific to this band name. The common name will make searching very difficult however.  If you know of a magazine or book that has written about them, it will make getting this article restored easier.--RadioFan (talk) 12:16, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Radiofan - i was just wondering why i got a speedy deletion notice on  my BMW Central Building Article. I will edit it if need be. However, all of my sources are cited carefully and footnotes. Nothing is copy written or stolen. I was just wondering if you could help me in any way with this

Anm23 (talk) 14:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Rollerboys Recordings
I added a reference link to Rollerboys discography at Discogs, so now there's added reliability for the facts. I hope this solves the problem. Skorpis (talk) 14:06, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * A list of recordings doesn't go quite far enough to establish notability. Take a look at WP:MUSIC for information.  If the band has charted, won some reconized award or been reviewed by some recognized sources, then that would be sufficient to establish notability.--RadioFan (talk) 14:11, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Cool. I also added links to compilations that have featured tracks, they have been compiled by Chateau Flight and Fred Deakin for Get Physical and Ministry Of Sound, who you'll know are quite famous. Thanks Skorpis (talk) 15:28, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Your prodding of Shanell Woodgett
Hello, RadioFan. Would you mind commenting on my talk page about Misunderstanding of WP:PROD? I am in agreement with your prod of Shanell Woodgett. I restored it twice after Del N. Paulson removed it. I then commented on his or her talk page about it. However, another Wikipedia editor (an experienced one, unlike Del N. Paulson) removed it and essentially stated that I was wrong to restore it. This is what the above linked discussion is about on my talk page.

In my view, it is time that this article be nominated for deletion, seeing as I see nothing valid about this article remaining on Wikipedia. Flyer22 (talk) 20:47, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The discussion at my talk page about this is no longer necessary. That article has just been nominated for deletion. Flyer22 (talk) 21:17, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Mason Vale Cotton
I created a page : 'Mason Vale Cotton' and you sent me a message saying you would delate my page because it doesn't respect the wikipedian laws. Which one ? You didn't tell me what's wrong !

Maybe it's because : -he's not enough known ? that's false ! -I'm the only person who contributed to this article? that's not a big problem, I checked my informations on the fansite of Mason ! -I didn't respect his private life ? I didn't say anything about his private life !!

Can you tell me the real reason ? Respond please !!! I don't want you to delete my article ! Thanks. 5_desperate —Preceding unsigned comment added by 5 desperate (talk • contribs) 11:13, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * First off, the article has not been deleted, the article is being discussed for deletion. It will remain until that discussion is complete (usually a week unless there is clear consensus from other editors that the article should be deleted).  Take a look at your talk page and at the article page again, there is a link on each to Articles for deletion/Mason Vale Cotton where the discussion will be taking place.  The reason that this discussion was started was that the article currently doesn't meet wikipedia's standards for inclusion, specifically those standards as they apply to entertainers.  Take a look at WP:ENTERTAINER for details.  Notability is shown through references and biographical article such as this one need to demonstrate significant coverage in reliable sources, this article currently has no references.  Also entertainers in particular can be shown to be notable through major awards (Oscar, Emmy, etc.) or through significant roles.  Looking through his credits on IMDB this young actor appears to be somewhere between a bit part actor and a character actor but certainly not what I'd call any significant roles in multiple notable productions.  If you have any additional questions, post 'em here.--RadioFan (talk) 13:45, 8 April 2009 (UTC)--RadioFan (talk) 16:39, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * thanks for your respond. I understand that he is not really really known but he played on desperate housewives ! It would be good for desperate's fan to have an article on Mason Vale Cotton, MJ's actor ! I hope you won't delete it. 5 desperate (talk) 19:18, 8 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 5 desperate (talk • contribs) 14:02, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Again, it all comes down to whether or not the subject meet's Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. Perhaps there is a desperate housewives specific wiki that you could add this to.--RadioFan (talk) 16:39, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Regards, Bendono (talk) 16:43, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Phrases like monumental work, important books and Of particular importance are problematic. They are rather grandeous.  If this is how this person is described, that's fine but it needs to be backed up with citations that also describe this person in those terms.--RadioFan (talk) 16:54, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I do not feel that they were that inappropriate, especially for a 60+ volume work spanning decades of research, but they may be removed or easily reworded without any problems. Thanks. Bendono (talk) 17:01, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of DICK TERESI ARTICLE
Please go ahead and delete this article for now. I will have to get back to it. For some reason the reference tags are not working and that is frustrating.

How to get Leon Fresco Page up
Radiofan, I did not sockpuppeteer the page. Someone else put my page up. But this is besides the point, I took it down again. The larger question is, I believe I meet the notability requirements.

 * The history of that article indicates that it was created by your userid which is why warnings about autobiographical articles were placed on your talk page. Please follow the instructions on the sockpuppetry information on your talk page, we need to keep that information there. Handing this article over to an expert to create is a very good idea.

Keep destroying my hard work and beleive me. I will never contribute again to wikipedia high quality contributions. And that's a promise. Im sick of fanboi kids destroying my hard work for the sake of nothing. The article about the software library was usefull to people. What was the problem about it? I mean who are you or those load of vandals who said that sohuld be deleted to figure out what people wan't to know or not? If you have nothing to do go out and play with your nintendo if you have nothing better to do. FYI i needed information about that software library I use for work (yes because unlike you we work) and you know what.. I wanted others to contribute as a matter of fact because i needed more information about that library. You know what I'm going to do... I'm going to write it again because i need the information.

Please take a few minutes to read the tags that are placed on these articles and on your talk page.  They give advice on what to do next and tell you what you can do to avoid deletion. The article in question, Convex Software Library was not deleted by me.  I marked it for deletion if it were not improved within 7 days.  Another editor marked it for immediate deletion which an administrator agreed to.  Please read through WP:N, WP:RS, and WP:CITE.  These spell out what is expected of articles.  You can also request that the deletion of these articles be reviewed and they will be restored under your user page so that you can work on them until they meet thes guidelines.--RadioFan (talk) 12:33, 11 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok I corrected the issue. Sorry about the hormones. Sometimes I'm a little bit compulsive. But with so much vandals out there you feel a lot biased towards beleiving many ppl is into that.

Currently contributing to the development of the article about Radical Computer Music, I agree to your remarks, but this will all happen as I go along.

Hello, you say this article lacks reliable source, whereas there's a good deal already, contrary to articles like : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_Inter ... besides, you say lists shouldn't be used and should be written in prose ... how do you write a list in prose ... ??? And last, you deleted the part on the leading team whereas you can see that on a majority of articles ... I'm sorry but I'm not sure I get your point. I know the criteria for notability and reliability and the rest ; I spent my last summer trying to understand how all this works. But I'm afraid I don't really get it here. I'm sure this is a mistake and you can explain me what happened. (Kavalka) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Valkaval (talk • contribs) 08:31, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The goal is to make every article as good as possible, rather than point articles that you feel are worse, let's focus on making this article better. There are a lot of references there but many of them are to primary sources or blogs.  Hasn't this subject been covered by more reliable sources?  Adding those will help demonstrate the notability.  An article on a a streaming audio station is going to get more scrutiny for meeting wikipedia's notability guidelines than something like France Inter which is government based so it's best to provide good, solid reliable sources with footnotes.
 * As for the lists, is that all that can be said about these programs and these DJ's, just their names? I'm suggesting that prose would be better here because it gives the reader far more information.  Rather than just list them, why not write about the history, how these DJs contributed.
 * Read over WP:N, WP:RS, and WP:CITE for good information on how to demonstrate an article is notable and ultimately keep it from being nominated for deletion.--RadioFan (talk) 11:51, 13 April 2009 (UTC)


 * 'The goal is to make every article as good as possible, rather than point articles that you feel are worse'

Sure, but the goal is also to have the same policy from one article to the other, isn't it ? As for the comparison between France Inter and Paris One, we obviously don't talk about the same category, but they're both radios. Besides, Paris One hosts international guests and works with some of the biggest labels around the world. I know that notability is one of the key pillars to Wikipedia, and it's a good thing too. One more thing, let's take another example closer to Paris One, i.e. another streaming audio station : FG DJ Radio. I checked to history of that article, and couldn't see any 'notability' banner ever. So It's very nice of you to show a specific interest to deal with Paris One article and better it, but I'm afraid I don't really understand why picking this particular article. Regards Valkaval (talk) 10:22, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Let's get this article sorted out first, then we'll move on to others. WP:OTHERSTUFF isn't a good argument in a deletion discussion and its not a good argument here.--RadioFan (talk) 14:47, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

The Cat Who Came for Christmas
Wow. You know that this book isn't notable after 1 minute of research? Just because you have never heard of it, doesn't mean it isn't notable. It's a New York Times bestseller. I have now added that fact to the article, which I think should be sufficient. Webbbbbbber (talk) 03:54, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That thanks for including that. Had it been there in the first place, it would have never been tagged.--RadioFan (talk) 14:46, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Bridge FM Hospital Radio
I refer to Bridge FM Hospital Radio being deleted as it was an Internet station. The station is infact a Hospital Radio station and does not and never has broadcast via internet streaming. How do I get the page back up? Bobbles69 (talk) 19:16, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It wasn't clear from the article exactly what it was. The problem was that the article lacked notability. It lacked 3rd party sources.  See WP:N and WP:RS for the guidelines.  Before recreating the article, consider creating it in a sandbox area or under your user page (i.e. User:Bobbles69/Bridge FM Hospital Radio) this will allow you to work on the article, adding the required sources so that it can be moved into the main article space.

Cheers
How did you find the UK Emergency Aviation page so fast? I appreciate your help in making it a disambiguation though. I only created to get rid of a red link. It was my intention to add in redirects etc as appropriate- is that the right way to be doing things?

 * we have our ways! Seriously I, like many other editors patrol new pages looking for places we can help push articles in the right direction and mark the garbage for deletion.

Hospital Radio
Heya....just curious, what is with all the prods for Hospital Radio Stations? -  NeutralHomer •  Talk  • April 16, 2009 @ 02:02
 * They aren't notable. They are essentially unlicensed campus radio stations, most dont even broadcast but are available only on the local hospital closed circuit cable and/or audio available bedside only.--RadioFan (talk) 02:05, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Let's find out if they do broadcast, because if they do, they would fall under the "notable radio station" rule. -  NeutralHomer •  Talk  • April 16, 2009 @ 02:14
 * If you do find evidence of licensed broadcasting for any of these articles, please remove the prods. I didn't find any in the articles or the research I did.--RadioFan (talk) 02:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The UK is a little outside of my area of expertise. Why not post something on WP:WPRS before going PROD nuts and maybe someone can dig up some information from there. -  NeutralHomer  •  Talk  • April 16, 2009 @ 02:52

Hi guys. Here is a link to Ofcom and stations which have been granted long term RSLs: http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/radiolicensing/rsls/longterm_rsls.htm Maybe you could use this and if appropriate remove the prods you have placed on hospital radio pages. I think it would be a shame if a load of charities lost their pages.Arsenalgirl (talk) 23:27, 16 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I've added that ref to one article and will look at other stations on that list. Those with govt issued licenses are presumed notable.  Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a web host.  These charities need to meet notability guidelines to retain articles here.--RadioFan (talk) 12:19, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

 * The article was only a couple of sentences and lacked any references. Feel free to revert the redirect if you plan to add more details.  Be sure to cite references demonstrating notability or the article is likely to be deleted.--RadioFan (talk) 15:55, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Hospital Radio Plymouth
Why are you proposing that this article be deleted? (for the following reason): low wattage or closed radio system available only within this hospital. Lacks 3rd party sources, lacks notability.

Hospital Radio Plymouth also broadcasts via 87.7fm to the grounds of Derriford Hospital and obviously is fully licensed by Ofcom to do so. What do you feel should be in this article to back this up? (I feel it is self evident from the logo)

As an aside, hospital radio stations are charities run by unpaid volunteers - we already have plenty to do without having to worry about wikipedia entries being deleted for no good reason.

Arsenalgirl (talk) 22:44, 16 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The article lacks reliable sources demonstrating its notability. Dont take the proposed deletion as a  judgment on the radio service, it just that the article doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards for inclusion.  Please read the tag for information on improving the article including the addition of sources like the ofcom license you mention.  --RadioFan (talk) 22:46, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I will add details of our licence and remove the deletion tag.

Arsenalgirl (talk) 23:07, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Why have you now removed details of our organisation's executive committee?! You refer to a tag that says wikipedia is not a directory - these details weren't intended to resemble a directory. As a small organisation I feel that these details are relevant to who we are and therefore also to the wikipedia article. Can you put them back? Arsenalgirl (talk) 20:55, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * These details are not encyclopedic. While they may be appropriate for your web page, they are not appropriate for a Wikipedia article.  While they may be of great interest to people close to the originzation, it's not something that others will come to the article looking for. As a comparison, information on the presenters is encyclopedic, it's what people might expect to find when they come looking for the article and would known outside of those closely associated with the organization.  If one of the executive committee were notable, if they had their own wikipedia page then mentioning them in the article about the station would be appropriate but a directory of people basically unknown outside this organization does not need to be included.  I'm sensing some ownership of this article here.  Please be careful.   As a volunteer for the organization I'm sure you have a special feeling for spreading the word station but wikipedia is open for editing by anyone and the goal is to create a neutral, encyclopedic article covering the topic, not to promote it.--RadioFan (talk) 22:47, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I do understand that the article is open for editing by anyone. Can I make a polite request though - if you continue to edit the article, can you please ensure that the changes you make are correct? I have had to reverse the edits you made to the awards section, as they left the article unfactual (eg Josie Scobling received the award for best speech package, not Isobel King) and there were some spelling errors also.

The historical information at the National Assembly of Quebec (Assemblée nationale du Québec) specified in the references for this article is a reliable independent source for biographies of members of the Quebec National Assembly, which is a first-level sub-national political office, which is the Wikipedia standard for notability for political figures, see Notability_(people). In this context, your tag makes no sense. In addition, you have tagged this article with which makes even less sense because this person died in 1910.

Radio Enfield
We note with concern you have marked this page for deletion because: low wattage or closed radio system available only within this hospital. Lacks 3rd party sources, lacks notability, no mention of Ofcom licence.

Radio Enfield has broadcast for 40 years and very well known locally, having interviewed many prominent people. We also broadcast from time to time on FM, under licence from Ofcom and the various copyright bodies (PRS, PPL & MCPS) to cover local events e.g. Enfield Autumn Show.

What is missing from the article to add third party sources etc.? We agree with the comments made by HR Plymouth. i.e. "hospital radio stations are charities run by unpaid volunteers - we already have plenty to do without having to worry about wikipedia entries being deleted for no good reason."

I have removed the tag on that page since this tag is only appropriate for LIVING persons. You already have tagged at least one other article in the same fashion and been advised of that. --Big_iron (talk) 21:08, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I would also call your attention to the section Citing_sources. Since the article in question is currently designated as a stub, the is somewhat questionable also. --Big_iron (talk) 21:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Designated an article as a stub does not excuse the article from being properly cited. This article has a single bullet point under references.  This should be moved to a footnote.--RadioFan (talk) 21:44, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Let me quote from citing sources (the section already mentioned above): "If a source supports a significant amount of the material in an article, it may sometimes be acceptable to simply add the citation at the end. It serves as a general reference, not linked to any particular part of the article. This is more likely to be appropriate for relatively undeveloped articles or those covering a very simple or narrow topic.". That text appears in the same article as the referenced section about footnotes. A single footnote is not any clearer than a single bullet.


 * While the above is certainly true, nofootnotes encourages editors to do it the right way. Certainly this article wont stay a stub forever, why not properly cite it from the beginning?--RadioFan (talk) 14:48, 23 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, please note for biographies, if the article belongs to a category such as, then it should not be classified as BLP. Biographies of living persons are generally held to a higher standard. Even so, there is a large edit backlog for BLP articles needing attention that goes back to September 2006, so adding dead people to the pile is not being helpful. --Big_iron (talk) 09:57, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

How can you delete the entry of a basketball player who has won awards in high school and college and is working on getting drafted into the nba?
 * I can't, I'm not an admin. I did recommend an admin look at it to see if it meets criteria for inclusion and they agreed that he is not sufficiently notable right now to warrant a Wikipedia article.  notability guidelines for athletes require that they have competed either professionally (i.e. the NBA) or at the highest level  of amateur sporting (i.e. the Olympics) .  Gaffney meets neither of those.   Unfortunately high school and college awards aren't sufficient.  If he is drafted by and plays for a NBA, then he will meet that criteria and an article would be appropriate.--RadioFan (talk) 02:11, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion ??
I have been contributing and editing articles for over two years. I am currently working on an article Fortune and Fate. In the past I have created several articles.

Today while the article I am working on is not one minute old it is marked for "speedy deletion". I find this offensive and insulting. It has made me pretty angry. I noted that it said "Don't take offense" but I do, precisely because the notice was posted before I have a chance to put in what is notable. This is ridiculous.

Perhaps it is the policy of the leaders of Wikipedia to now mark new articles for speedy deletion before they are complete and linked into other articles, but I find that hard to believe.

If that is the case could you please tell me who is in charge of that sort of decision? Is it a committee? Are they willing to listen to comments on that policy?

I think that all articles should be allowed to stand for at least a week to see if they mature and get linked into other articles. My experience is that if I start an article other contributors then jump in and expand it. This is one of the great powerful aspects of Wikipedia. One of its "inventions" which make it unlike anything seen before. This is also a way of getting a true measure of an article's "notability". Marking articles for speedy deletion so soon after they are created short circuits this process.

Let me know what is going on.

Nick Beeson (talk) 15:26, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * It was not meant as a slight and your contributions are of course welcome. To be exact, the tag placed on the page is a proposed deletion, not a speedy deletion.  It can be removed at any time if you disagree with it, just add something to the talk page mentioning that you removed it and why you disagree.  The purpose of a proposed deletion is to tag pages which an editor (me in this case) feels does not meet criteria for inclusion.  If that tag remains for a week (i.e. no one removes it), the article is deleted.  There are a lot of articles that are begun on Wikipedia and never completed.  This is one way to clean out the cruft.  If you plan to improve the article and bring it up to notability standards (particularly WP:NBOOK), please remove the tag and continue editing, however please make sure the article meets WP:NBOOK or it may be nominated for deletion again. To answer some of your other questions, no one is really in charge here.  This is an open project that everyone is free to update  Outright deletions of articles are only performed by admins however, which I am not one. --RadioFan (talk) 15:32, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * My anger was due to the fact that you ignored the age of the article. (And your response also ignores the speed issue.) I believe that one of the greatest features of Wikipedia is that anyone can start an article, and others will notice it, expand it, and fill it out. I have found this is a great way to get the information I want when there is no article on the topic. I am convinced that this is one of the identifiable unexpected features of Wikipedia that makes it a transforming technology. But this will die if articles are deleted at speed and not given a month or two to mature.


 * In addition there is something that, if not nasty, makes me feel as though it is nasty, in tagging an article within ONE MINUTE of its first posting. What is with that? Every article I have ever written is posted before I finish it. This is done on purpose precisely because it provokes others with expertise to improve it. (See above paragraph.) I am not going to enjoy having you dog me with this kind of Wiki Tagging. I, and I am sure other article initiators, would really appreciate it if you would wait a week to see if the article improves, acquires a lot of Wikilinks pointing to it, or gets a lot of hits from Wikipedia users (readers) around the world.

Nick Beeson (talk) 01:05, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * New articles are posted to the live Wikipedia site as soon as you create them, so new articles appear alongside those that have existed for years. Guidelines for notability and citation are applied to all articles equally regardless of age and it's the responsibility of the editor adding the information to properly cite it.  If it is a work in progress that is not ready for other editors to contribute to, you should consider working on the article in a sandbox first until it is ready and you wont be bothered by any maintenance tags or deletion recommendations. Also if you add the undefined tag to indicate that you are actively working on the article for a day or two editors recognize that the article is actively being worked on and come back in a few days to check up on it again.   Please understand that books articles in particular can be problems on wikipedia.  Well meaning readers and sometimes  publishers and authors create articles to promote their favorite books but they've all got to meet WP:NBOOK and right now this article doesn't meet those criteria.  This page was noticed immediately because that's that new page patrolling does, find the articles as they are created and identify problems.  Also be careful not to own this article, all are free to contribute to it.  Let's focus on adding the necessary references, to get it up to the point where it meets WP:NBOOK for now.--RadioFan (talk) 12:28, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

NO Thanks
What exactly do you get up to on Wikipedia? Is it your job to just monitor and delete pages that people put a great deal of effort into creating? I have noticed many notices of annoyance on your talk page. If you search “Encyclopaedia” on Wikipedia you may see what an encyclopaedia is for (unless of course you have deleted that page for no apparent reason). I have used and contributed to Wikipedia for several years (under a different username) and I am disgusted that you have the audacity to state that people do not know how to use it or what it is for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wattie92 (talk • contribs) 18:09, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it's not my job. But yes I do volunteer, like other volunteers, to monitor new pages. I've also volunteered, like you, for many years and have contributed 50k+ edits including thousands of new. You are correct that it does generate some ire, generally from new editors who haven't yet read the guidelines.  Most of these editors appreciate the pointers and produce much higher quality articles as a result.  I'm sorry the AFD with World School Council has upset you and your partners.  I'm sure your organization has its rules as well so please respect the rules here.  Did other editors commenting on this AFD get similar notes or am I the only one?--RadioFan (talk) 19:00, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes - comments from other 3 editors stated that they thought it was a hoax and that they couldn't access the website - The website has now been made available and as you said earlier today it does not appear to be a hoax now. hope this is helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.146.58.187 (talk) 19:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)


 * While that did resolve the concerns about this being a hoax, you are missing the point being made by myself and the other editors. As my last update to the AFD indicated and every other editor commenting in that thread have indicated, there are still concerns about this article meeting notability guidlines.  If you disagree with these concerns, here is not the place to argue your point, you should update Articles for deletion/World School Council with specifically how you believe this article meets WP:N.  As it stands this article is likely to be deleted based on the discussion there.  So far the only points made in favor of this article being retained are that it is "factual" which isn't going to help.--RadioFan (talk) 19:34, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Found while looking for something else
I found the two sections below buried under the redirect on your former talk page where, because of redirect formatting, they would not be displayed. Yes, I think it's a little bit ironic that one of the two editors who accidentally buried a message there is apparently you. Enjoy. - Dravecky (talk) 18:54, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you referring to the images notices below? Those have been taken care of.--RadioFan (talk) 19:01, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:WCMR-FM logo.gif)
 Thanks for uploading Image:WCMR-FM logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 00:12, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:KOMY logo.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:KOMY logo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Notable
I think the scare is notable, hence I have removed the prod. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tversl (talk • contribs) 11:57, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That's fine, an AFD has been created.--RadioFan (talk) 12:14, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Polish Second League 2001-02
Wondering how did you check this article before you paste in unreferenced tag? I see there three legal sources so in my opinion this article is referenced. --Verwolff (talk) 12:02, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * My fault, I meant to place the nofootnotes tag on there instead of unreferenced. There are references but they need to be in the format described here.  Thanks for pointing that out.--RadioFan (talk) 12:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, Thanks for fast reply --Verwolff (talk) 12:12, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you for your help wikifying that stub I recently created! ---kilbad (talk) 16:50, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment, I think it's referenced correctly now. Ianskipp (talk) 13:15, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for adding the references, it looks much better. I still have some concerns about the notability of this subject however.  Let's take it to AFD and get some other opinions on it.--RadioFan (talk) 13:16, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Steinway Fountain Pen
Hey, I need a little help to understand what the problem is with the article Steinway Fountain Pen. Thanks. Fanoftheworld (talk) 15:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The references you list don't help the article meet the requirement of significant coverage in 3rd party verifiable sources in order to establish notability of the subject. The first reference appears to be a blog which generally are not considered reliable sources and the second is a link to a site which sells the item which does provide good information but doesn't do much to establish the notability of the subject.--RadioFan (talk) 15:38, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Lloyds Bank Ltd v Bundy
Have a look at the edit summary when I removed the misconceived tag.  Wik idea  12:18, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I answer this question a lot: for cases, we use a citation (the date and a reference to a report, here [1975] QB 326) which gives your references. No notes needed here yet. Best,  Wik idea  12:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I disagree with this citation style, especially for an article of this length and of this subject.  Footnotes are needed to show where these concepts came from and demonstrate notability.  Without them it could appear to be original research.--RadioFan (talk) 12:25, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not entirely sure what you're after. The case report is there. In the case report you find the description of the facts. The "Facts" section is a summary of that. The same goes for the judgment. I've given you references to three books, with page numbers, which will tell you the same. I'm afraid I'm not here to jump to your requests. If you were interested in looking the book up in the library, then you have everything that you need.  Wik idea  19:30, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * While general referencing is accepted in some cases, I don't believe it is appropriate here and would like to see this material |footnoted. You need not jump to my request but are responsible for proper citation of any material you add.  I did want to give you the opportunity to improve the references before removing any of the material that is not sufficiently referenced.--RadioFan (talk) 19:39, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

LPL Series
I tagged this article for speedy deletion before I saw your deletion notice. I don't have any preferences on how this is handled, but I really don't know how to proceed now. Do I need to "undo" my tag? Feel free to reply here or my page. Sorry for the inconvenience.  Tide  rolls  18:43, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Not a problem. Leave your speedy tag and see what an admin thinks.--RadioFan (talk) 18:44, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, it seems you had tagged LPL Circuit not the article referenced. Now LPL Series is showing as red link.  Maybe I should just relax a bit and watch things unfold.  If you need to contact me, please do.  Apologies for making what is probably a little into a lot.  Thanks.  Tide  rolls  18:47, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I think you are thinking of LPL Circuit--RadioFan (talk) 18:49, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Shoe boxes
I do not get what is wrong with my postings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bug24 (talk • contribs) 20:16, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Its not evident how this subject is notable enough to warrant a wikipedia article. Take a look at WP:N for information on notability guidelines.--RadioFan (talk) 21:04, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Dino Wiand
Hello RadioFan. I've noted your WP:PROD at Dean Wiand. FYI check also this, please. --Vejvančický (talk) 21:49, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up. Looks like the article was moved and then recreated.--RadioFan (talk) 22:33, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Priscilla Kincaid-Smith
I have responded to your speedy delete request on the talk page in question of Priscilla Kincaid-Smith. In all due respect you made the speedy delete before I had even finished perfecting the page in question. Perhaps you should take a second look and consider withdrawing the speedy delete request or at least consider WP:AFD in which our peers can vote and I will not have to recreate the page in the future. Yours, Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 03:04, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The CBE is sufficient to establish notability and the CSD has been removed.--RadioFan (talk) 03:09, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
