Dropping out
Hi Ponyo, nice one, someone has to do it, the issue was mentioned at the BLPN, thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 18:09, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I see now you know all about it, your signature got the better of me, best regards. Off2riorob (talk) 18:11, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * No worries. It'll take some time to work through as I'm not only adding any references I find to the Dropping out article, I'm also adding it to the individual biography articles as well. It may take me a couple days, but it should be nice and tidy once I'm through! Cheers, --Jezebel's Ponyo shhh 18:17, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Thanks for setting up the AfD page, I was going to do it on Monday if no substantial changes to the article were made over the weekend. My argument to delete can be found at the AfD. --Jezebel's Ponyo shhh 18:38, 9 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for taking the time to comment. I was kind of waiting for someone else to nominate, since I'm essentially lazy. But now I'm glad I did because it's my first AfD and now I know how to do it. Rees11 (talk) 19:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The first one is always a little daunting, and the instructions seemed really confusing to me when I started. Good on you for taking the initiative! Cheers, --Jezebel's Ponyo shhh 19:51, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know I revised the speedy deletion template to point out item A7, which is for articles about people that do not assert any sort of notability. It seems to be a humorous nonsense article, but about an actual person, perhaps a friend of the page creator? Just wanted to give you a heads up. –ArmadniGeneral (talk • contribs) 21:32, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the G3 category is more accurate as the article is pure vandalism. "-name removed- is a steak ball love-yo" isn't even a half-hearted attempt to create a valid article of any sort. It's not that the author hasn't asserted any notability in relation to the subject of the article, the author has put a picture of a steak with the subject's name under it. That being said, any category used which results in deletion of this article is find by me! --Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:#3773A5;">shhh 21:46, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The article appears to be a recreation of this one, which was speedy deleted four times under G1, A7, and A3. This is obviously not User:Leedsunited1993's first kick at the Speedy Deletion can. Hopefully the admin who deletes the article will also block the accunt, so helpful editors (such as me and you!) don't have to keep going through this.

The AFD seems a bit maformed? Off2riorob (talk) 19:38, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I'm just really slow! It should be good to go now... --<b style="color:#FFB521;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:navy;">shhh 19:49, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool, lets see what happens. Off2riorob (talk) 19:54, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Because their is a reference in the infobox. And no the article will not be deleted because it has no references, he is a professional football player and therfore meets WP:Athlete.--Yankees10 19:44, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The link in the infobox is an External link for NFL.com - this is not the same as references from independent third party sources. And yes, any BLP articles that are unsourced can most certainly be deleted, and indeed this has been occuring over the past few days (see Arbitration Committee/Noticeboard and Requests for comment/Biographies of living people). Notability is a completely seperate issue, and simply meeting the notability requirement of WP:Athlete does not exempt any BLP from requiring proper sourcing for verifiability. --<b style="color:#FFB521;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:navy;">shhh  20:16, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * So what a bunch of notable football player articles are getting deleted just because they dont have references.--Yankees10 20:22, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Any unreferenced BLP articles are being deleted - actors, politicians, scientists - adding and bolstering the references with reliable sources is the best way to ensure the articles are kept. If the individuals are notable, then surely there are references available. Whatever you do, don't actually remove good inline citations from the article! If you have any articles you're particularly worried about being deleted, let me know and I can try to reference them for you. --<b style="color:#FFB521;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:navy;">shhh 20:35, 22 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Do you happen to have a list or anything of the NFL players that have been deleted?--Yankees10 20:36, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * No, sorry. You could take a look through the deletion log and see if you find any names that pop up that you recognize from the 20th and 21st. Also, check the articles that had the PROD tag added since Wednesday located here. It appears that the outright deletion has stopped for now and the Request for Comment page I linked to above seems to be leaning towards PRODDING the article to give individuals time to add references prior to deletion. --<b style="color:#FFB521;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:navy;">shhh 20:44, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Hi, nice to meet you, the text is by permission of the artist Tahis, but please i would need your help for the correct translation of the article, I would be very grateful Tahisfanclub --Tahisfanclub (talk) 10:35, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello. I'm not quite sure what you are requesting from me, however I have posted a welcome message to your talk page which contains a number of valuable links and information regarding editing Wikipedia which you may find useful. --<b style="color:#FFB521;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:navy;">shhh 21:39, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, thank you, please tell me I can do to send a confirmation of the artist herself and i send you, maybe some email address? You say and do what you tell me. I try to do the translation correctly. I understand your position perfectly, but this would be a mess --Tahisfanclub (talk) 16:01, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there specific information that you want to add to the article? Note that writing on behalf of an individual is considered a

conflict of interest and should be avoided. <b style="color:#FFB521;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:navy;">shhh 16:05, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I think the article is appropriate, i said it only because you as a profesional, you could see that this article created by me, is with the consent of the artist Tahis. But the article is fine, thanks A greeting and thanks for your kindness (sorry my english) jiii Maica d Tahisfanclub --83.56.166.14 (talk) 17:22, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Are you sure?
The toilet issue is the issue, delete that for blp and it will all be good. Off2riorob (talk) 21:27, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I still stand by my comment on the talk page - I think a single referenced sentence within the article is ok, but the sister's quote and such is extraneous and could be cut. I'm happy to abide by whatever concensus forms...On a related note, when I found a reliable source to restore the info you had cut as uncited, I realized that the entire thing has been lifted directly from an online article. I hope I've rewritten it sufficiently that there is no issue regarding copyright as the material is informative, neutral, and adds to the article. I'm going to keep searching for sources that will allow for the article to be built up. <b style="color:#FFB521;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:navy;">shhh 21:41, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, of course that is your privilege. Off2riorob (talk) 21:48, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That's an odd thing to say....I'm trying to improve the entire article as a whole and am not focusing on the current BLP squabble. Whichever way it turns out is ok with me, as long as the information does not overshadow the rest of the article and it's well sourced. There's a slippery slope when it comes to allowing individuals to control their own wiki articles, I'm just looking at policy and precedence in forming my opinion. --<b style="color:#FFB521;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:navy;">shhh  22:02, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
