- Speedy Deletion of Treehouse (band)

The article that I am submitting has been deleted, but clearly meets Wikipedia's criteria for musicians and ensembles.

Guideline #1: Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself:

Treehouse has been published in dozens of notable and award winning publications from across the world. Here are a few examples:

1) The Chicagoist 

2) Vocalo 89.5 

3) Fearless Radio 

4) Audiotree TV 

5) OurVinyl 

6) Pop'stache , 

7) The DJBooth , 

Guideline #4: Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.

Treehouse has performed throughout the United States. Most recently the band did a month long tour of the San Francisco Bay Area the ended with a performance at New York's acclaimed CMJ Music Marathon 2012 and also followed with an EP release show at Chicago's Double Door. 

Covered by: DeliRadio, Bands in Town, Thrillcall, Tour Volume, etc. Treehouse at Red Devil Lounge Treehouse at Rasputin Records Treehouse at CMJ Music Marathon

Guideline #6: Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles.

Treehouse contains two independently notable artists/musicians:

Aunnoy Badruzzaman, creator and owner of The Belmont Sessions. Has directed live music videos for RJD2, Murs, Maps and Atlases, DJ Heavygrinder, The Juan Maclean, Norma Jean, etc.)

Rico Sisney, creator of the Gala Chicago and emcee for Sidewalk Chalk.


 * I see that now. The references were not visible because you needed a  template.  I've restored the article.  Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 16:52, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

86c PROD
Hi. I placed the PROD template on 86c yesterday, and you have already deleted it as an expired PROD. I'm obviously not concerned that the article was deleted (I wouldn't have proposed it for deletion otherwise), but the guidelines for deletion state that the PROD template should be in place for 7 days. Is this not always the case? (I'm just checking my understanding of the guidelines). Thanks. — sparklism hey! 11:57, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I probably should have put my own WP:SNOW tag on it, thanks. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:01, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. — sparklism  hey! 16:23, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Advice on recreating a previously deleted article
Hi Nawlin,

I was about to begin the creation of a new article about the musician/promoter Dave Beer, but I've learnt on 11 December 2006 that you deleted a page with the name Dave Beer, and so Wikipedia has advised me to contact the administrator who deleted the page. Here is the info I was given.

15:29, 11 December 2006 NawlinWiki (talk | contribs) deleted page Dave Beer Early LifeBorn to an alcoholic mother, Dave Beer was considered addicted to alcohol from birth. He recieved...')

Please can you advise if I need your permission to create a new article? I'm not totally sure my subject Dave Beer is the same person as you deleted. If you can advise how I move forward that would be greatly appreciated.

(BillieMacpherson (talk) 15:34, 5 December 2012 (UTC))
 * It looks like the 2006 page was a juvenile attack on a Dave Beer, probably not the same one you have in mind. Feel free to post a new article, keeping in mind WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, and WP:V.  Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 16:12, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Vistex
Vistexemea (talk) 16:31, 5 December 2012 (UTC)you cancelled our company profile. why? the page was vistex
 * Because the article was promotional, see WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. Also, Wikipedia is not a directory of companies or their profiles.  NawlinWiki (talk) 16:36, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Travis Turner article deletion
Hello, I just finished watching a movie on TV called a Fairly Odd Christmas with the Actor, Travis Turner in it. I also saw him in a Princess for Christmas and Marley and Me 2 in 2011. I went on to wikipedia to see what other movies he has done, but the article has been deleted by yourself. It would be great if you would reverse this action. Of course I can google the information, but wouldn't it make sense that the information was on wikipedia? Here is the imbd profile (for Travis Turner, actor) link to verify. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm3281984/ Thank you for your time, 24.65.232.129 (talk) 04:48, 6 December 2012 (UTC)Tanya Nodder24.65.232.129 (talk) 04:48, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * An actor needs to have more than just minor roles to qualify for a separate article under WP:BIO. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:04, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Unprotection request
Hi NawlinWiki, how would you feel about unprotecting. There doesn't seem to be a reason for it to be indef fully protected - or am I missing something? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 02:06, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, it's a redirect, and it was vandalized at the time I protected it. I've reduced to semiprotection.  NawlinWiki (talk) 12:33, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, thanks for reducing it to semi. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 04:12, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Stephen Solomon
Hello NawlinWiki,


 * 05:23, 15 December 2008 NawlinWiki (talk | contribs) deleted page Stephen Solomon (A7 (bio): No indication that the article may meet guidelines for inclusion)

Can you please tell me more about who this article was about? I intend to publish an article about Stephen Solomon, an Australian chess player, born 13 September 1956, who does meet the notability requirements for Wikipedia.

If you think my article is about the same person, please let me know and I will discuss this with you further before publishing my article.

Many thanks, Gary :-)

Garybekker (talk) 02:39, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Different person - I see you've already published the new article. Thanks for asking, though! NawlinWiki (talk) 13:30, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

91.154.96.0/20
Hello. I'd like to know if you can perform a rangeblock from the range. The problem is that there is a person who has started to abuse multiple IPs to change genres to suits his/her point of view. As now and  have been protected due to this issue, but s/he changes IPs very quickly, for example at Don't Tell Me (Madonna song), which lasted one day that is not possible to stop him by individual blocks.

I calculated it with three IPs, and , and the users affected are 4096. Considering that protection won't stop him, as he has edited multiple pages from multiple artists, is it possible to block tha range? Thank you. Tb hotch .™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions.  22:33, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I also requested this to . Tb hotch .™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!  See terms and conditions.  21:11, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not eager to act here. The actual range (according to the routing tables) is 91.154.0.0/13, or over half a million users. Even the narrower range you suggested is pretty active. The editor is certainly a pain, but he is trying to discuss on talk pages, and some of his edits are being reverted more because everyone is irritated with him rather than actual harm (I haven't seen any discussion of why we should prefer "EDM" or "electronic dance music", for example). I'll semi individual articles that get out of hand, but I can't see blocking the range.&mdash;Kww(talk) 23:36, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I thought it was lower because of the tool Rangeblock-Calculator, but if it is wider, it is not a good idea. By now, I haven't seen him discussing genres, and the only talk pages I've seen s/he has left a message are Talk:Christina Aguilera discography and User talk:Widr with a beautiful and undeserved warning. It is not rare though, you know how these genre-warriors work. You can dialogue with them, but at the end their POV is the only important thing, and no one is right excepting them.

Asserts notability?
I don't mean to seem overly finicky but I PRODed it with the reason Fails Notability guidelines blatantly (with a link to WP:GNG), I didn't use CSD(A7) for it. And FYI I don't take major issue with your decline because, one, you're not required to provide a good reason for declining PROD, two, I technically can't do anything more to PROD it again. With that said, you can either think that it passes GNG or that it doesn't. First you decline the PROD that raised GNG-concerns, fair enough, but then what did you think about before instructing me to take it to AFD?

The idea that you deemed it okay to contest/oppose an allegation of failure to meet notability with only assertion of notability, doesn't add up nor does it reflect highly on your decision making techniques. The fact that behooved me to leave a comment here is that you're an admin and you really should do better than that. Lately, I am coming across all sorts of not-so-convincing reasons for declining deletion by Administrators but that's beside the point. Mr T (Talk?)  [ (New thread?) ] 23:09, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Revdel's
Greetings. I noticed a series of admin edits to revdel edits by a specific username. Please review wp:aiv where reports were filed. Thank you. -- My 76 Strat  (talk) 17:57, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Got them all, I think. Thanks! NawlinWiki (talk) 18:11, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Assuming the username is part of the reason for removing the summary, you still have the reports and the bot removals to consider. -- My 76 Strat  (talk) 18:17, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Got those too, thanks. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:19, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I hate to pester, but; any report filed after the report and before the removal will also show the insulting content, consider this one for example; -- My 76 Strat  (talk) 18:27, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * My bad, sorry. I see it was not exactly a revdel but rather removal of the summary alone. Cheers, -- My 76 Strat  (talk) 18:40, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

FYI
I believe that your edit filter 58 missed a few of accounts:



Thought you might want to know so you can adjust the filter. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:58, 29 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, User:Jude Enemy keeps changing his stage name. As if Wikipedia is going to make him famous.  I will see what I can do with the filter.  Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 22:09, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

I'd like your input at WP:FALSEPOS
Hey NW, Seeing as you're apparently the primary maintainer of the "long term abuse" edit filter, I'd like to get your input on a false positive report. I'm a bit afraid to tackle that behemoth of a filter, so your help would be great.

Thanks, and happy new year!
