October's Very Cold (speedy deletion; questions)
Article: October's Very Cold

What: A remix (mashup) album (free) by producer Chi Duly using sampled material from Drake and Coldplay

Similar to: The Grey Album or Mos Dub

Notability: Not sure. It does have 37 full pages of relevant google results. It also has significantly high marks attached to it on The Hype Machine. There are no major newspaper or magazine articles about it. Of the music blogs that wrote about it, only 7 are Hype Machine blogs. Also in comparison to another wiki article about an unauthorized remix album Mos Dub, there are 6 times as many relevant google results for "Octobers Very Cold", which appears to assert this being one of the most talked about projects of it's kind in 2010 (there are probably more of these types of work emerging than most would think).

Copyright issue: precedents set by The Grey Album and others would point to this work as a fair use. The vocals tracks used from artist Drake were released by label affiliated digital record pools with the intention of encouraging remix material. As far as the Coldplay content, their official website has endorsed past uses similar to October's Very Cold.

I am writing in response to the speedy deletion of the article. I'm new to wikipedia. I have no suggestions or requests for you, only questions that I wasn't able to spot clear answers for on the "Whydeleted" page.

I actually didn't intend on publishing the article though. I just wanted to work on it and wasn't able to google or wiki the answer on how to work before submitting to become an entry. I'm fine with working on the article in sandbox but WAIIIT lol - I believe it is something others will be legitimately interested in editing as there are tons of sources to sort through, and leaving it to an amature such as myself may not be as efficient in.

Final questions:

Was it deleted because the producer is not a notable musician with a wiki page? Should the producer's page be created first?

I started this page under a nickname that is not my government name. I may be overly apprehensive about giving out that info. Is this account a waste of time because of that? Should I delete it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrickDudris (talk • contribs) 03:10, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The article was deleted under G9 criteria - specifically it was an album by an artist that does not have a Wikipedia artice. Assuming that you are unaffiliated with the artist in question, I would suggest reading through the notability criteria for musical artists first. If you believe that the artist meets the criteria, then please do create the article (preferably supplemented by independent sources to solidify notability). You can include any of the artist's releases in his article. If any of the albums meet WP:ALBUMS, then seperate articles can be created for the individual releases as well. I hope this info helps, let me know if you still have questions. Good luck! --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 03:21, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Antenarrative
Dear Ponyo,

You have deleted the 'antenarrative page.' However, I believe that the term antenarrative is in widespread use both at theory and as methodology in the social sciences. The original page had references to published works on the topic of antenarrative, as well as relationships to the structuralist work of Derrida and the critical discourse work of Bakhtin.

I would like the page reconsidered, since I believe that antenarrative has been demonstrated in theory, method and practice in quite a number of scholarly, peer-reviewed publications, not just by me, but by a host of other scholars.

Here is the published work on 'antenarrative' which is beyond the original work I did as the creator of the theory.

 * The article was deleted as a recreation of an article that had undergone a deletion discussion wherein the community had determined by consensus that it did not meet criteria for inclusion (from what I've read the main arguments are that it consists of original research). If you believe the AfD closure was in error, you can take it to deletion review, however given your strong conflict of interest as the proposer of the theory, and the near unanimity in both decisions to delete, I don't believe you will have much success in having the deletion overturned. If the theory is truly notable, an uninvolved editor will eventually create an article on it. Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 15:34, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Deleted Freeman's
Ponyo- I understand that the Freeman's page looked perhaps like advertisement. But the foundation was being laid for a more significant article. Additionally, all the things in that article were legitimate claims (freeman's IS America's oldest auction house).. and the services they provide are ones that people request information about frequently. All "editorial" or "Subjective" claims in the article were sourced from external authors and publications.

Please un-delete the article! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoehillenmeyer (talk • contribs) 17:14, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you have the full name of the article? I will need that in order to pull up the deleted copy to review the content. A concern I have without having to read the deleted content is your words "the services they provide are ones that people request information about frequently" - I assume you are affiliated with Freeman's? --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  17:21, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

The Defiled page deleted on 18th Feb 2011
Hi, I was about to create a page for the band The Defiled as surprisingly there wasn't one and they have a large following.

I then saw you had deleted one that seems to be about them.

I wondered if I could use this as a starting point and also what it was about the article that you thought was advertising.

I didn't write it but wanted to make sure why so I don't do the same.

Mindy2k (talk) 22:30, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The article was certainly promotional in nature and consisted solely of what appeared to be original research. There was not a single source included in the article that could be used to confirm that the band is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. If you are unassociated with the band, believe that they meet notability criteria, and are able to create a neutral article, then please feel free to do so. You could work on it in your user space (example: User:Mindy2k/The Defiled) and move it to mainspace when you're satisfied with it. If you do choose to create the article yourself, I'd be happy to review it for you before you move it to article space if you'd like.--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:41, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Herzog and Burden of Dreams
Hey JP. I remember from your RFA you mentioning that you are a Werner fan. Me too. I just rewatched Burden of Dreams, the doc about the making of Fitzcarraldo. It is truly amazing what the man went through to get the film made. I don't think there is any other filmmaker who pursues his dreams with such dedication. I'd like to expand our stub article for B.o.D., hopefully 5X so it can go up on DYK. I've copied the stub over to my userspace: User:The Interior/Under Construction/Burden of Dreams, and put a few links to some good sources on the talk page. I'm going to tinker away at it for the next week or two, if you'd like to help, please do. (If you haven't seen the film yet, you simply gotta. I think there's a copy at the VPL). Anyways, hope you're well, looks like you're having fun in the CSD trenches! The Interior (Talk) 02:03, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Burden of Dreams is fantastic - good on you for having a go at it. I'll bookmark the page and help out if I can. Fitzcarraldo (my dear Fitzie) is so amazing, as is Aguirre. If someone made me choose my favourite between the two of them it would truly be a case of Sophie's Choice. The CSD trenches are never-ending - I cannot believe the amount of copyrighted material that is added to this place on an hourly basis. Instead of a mop, they should have handed me a shovel (dig a ditch...fill it in...dig a ditch...fill it in). Cheers for the note, and good luck with the expansion! --Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:Navy;">bons mots 02:15, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Deleted article
I recently wrote an article on the band Random Encounter (Random Encounter (band)) which was deleted due to lacking information as to the importance/significance of the band. I did find a few links which were not directly affiliated with the band, but if that does not sufficiently assert their significance, then I can understand not recreating the article.

 * Blogs are generally not considered reliable sources, so it's best not to link to them. What you could do is read through WP:MUSICBIO which lists the notability criteria for musicians and bands. If you believe that Random Encounter meets the criteria, then you could start an article in your userspace, working on solidifying the notability criteria, then move it in to article space when you are satisfied with it. If there is no significant independent coverage on the band yet, it may be that it is simply too soon for an article. "Not now" does not have to mean "not ever", so I hope you are not too discouraged by the speedy deletion of the article.--<b style="color:Navy;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:Navy;">bons mots  03:47, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Bird Wings Beat website removed from Mason Jennings article
Ponyo: Can you please let me know why you deleted the link to my Mason Jennings site "Bird Wings Beat" from the Mason Jennings article? As stated in the Discussion for the page, I'm familiar with #11 of WP:LINKSTOAVOID, but I believe the site is still important to include on the article because it provides resources unavailable elsewhere (specifically, complete lyrics and discography). I don't want to reinstate the link immediately, I'd like to get your input first. I am the creator and maintainer of the site in question, but receive no money from the site (there are no ads or sponsorship) and have no incentive for reinstating the link besides serving people interested in Mason Jennings. Thanks, Reefdog (talk) 18:21, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Please do not reinsert the fansite link - it does not meet the external link criteria and, as the creator of the site it is a distinct conflict of interest to include it. I appreciate you checking first, and you can always request a third opinion if you believe that it really needs to be included. A quick question - do you have the correct permissions in place with regard to displaying the lyrics on your website? If not, we definitely cannot link to your website as Wikipedia has strict restrictions in that regard.--<b style="color:Navy;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:Navy;">bons mots 18:36, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. It's not terribly important to me to have the link, I just think it's a useful item for visitors to the page. I'll request a third opinion if I am able to find the time, thanks for sharing that option with me. As for the lyrics, I'm not aware of any legal issues with displaying them. Mason thanked me by name and included the birdwingsbeat.com URL on the liner notes for his latest album, specifically thanking me for hosting lyrics to older songs that he had actually forgotten about, so I'm quite certain we're in the clear. :) Reefdog (talk) 22:03, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add religion, ethnic, or descent categories to biography articles as you did at Rasim Tagirbekov without first ensuring that 1) the category is supported by sourced article content and 2) the individual identifies as such.

 * In order to add ethnic categories to biography articles the category must be supported by relibale sources. There are no such sources in the Tagirbebov article. With regard to the other articles you mention, well, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. A quick look though the examples you provided shows multiple sources supporting the categories in the Özil and Mario Balotelli articles and the Hernandez article does not list any descent categories at all. I provided the relevant links with regard to categorizing biography subjects by ethnicity (WP:BLPCAT and WP:EGRS) which clearly state that if the ethnic category is not supported by reliable sources, it should not be included. --<b style="color:Navy;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:Navy;">bons mots 14:04, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Ponyo, I appreciate you deleting the personal attacks against me and my wife this week. Many people reached out to me when the page was discovered and clearly you saw it fit to be removed. However, when I goggled it today, the page is still up. Here is the URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Munson Clearly if you go to Wikipedia the page shows the deletion. What is the link above? I don’t understand the last part regarding a twitterfeed. Your insight would be very useful.

 * Firstly, I've suppressed this post you made to remove your IP and e-mail address (will copy to your e-mail). Unless you want this public you should probably register an account.
 * Don't worry about the Twitter bits - it's just Twitter's way of informing a site of the source of the traffic, and isn't used by Wikipedia, nor does it affect the content you get back (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Munson returns the same).
 * On the IP address of the user account that edited your article, I'm afraid that the privacy policy and policy about the tool precludes me from releasing that. The user has been warned not to make such edits ever again by Ponyo (and hasn't edited since).

Bert Oliva
After a request on the Help Desk, I went ahead and moved Bert oliva to Bert Oliva. Any suggestions on the page other than having someone other than having some other than User:Ltothej write it? Also, any clue how many times he's tried to start it?Naraht (talk) 20:34, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh my, it still reads as a terribly promotional article. From what I can piece together of the history the article has been deleted 6 times previously (between 2007 and now). Ltothej has only created it twice. The best way forward for the article to be kept would be for a willing editor to move it to their user subpage where they could work on building a neutral article as notability criteria appears to be met. It could then be moved to main article space. If it was moved back with reliable sources and neutral wording it could avoid any further deletions.

creating Wikipedia page for Masaokis, YouTube content creator
Hi, I created a Wikipedia page for Masaokis (youtube content creator) and noticed it was immediately deleted.

Being a youtube content creator does not automatically confer notability (there are millions of youtube content creator and contributors).

La Florida (park)
Hi,

I am taking a second look at this db-nocontext I raised - here - on what at the time was an article of two words "Florida park" and wondering about the claim that this was too bitey. You later validly declined the speedy on the basis of the improvements that were made and I wondered if you had any thoughts about tagging an article so early after creation even if it does fit the criteria? The reason I'm asking is that I notice similar articles frequently in IGLOO, which by their nature have only been just created, and perhaps I might be better off just consistently skipping them or tagging with weaker improvement notices rather than jumping to speedy. Cheers Fæ (talk) 23:20, 16 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, I notice that My76Strat has just pursued the matter at RFA from their discussion and has made it a case for a formal question after I made the above note. I'll understand if you prefer not to reply to my original question. Thanks Fæ (talk) 23:27, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
 * At WP:CSD it suggests "though there is no set time requirement, a ten-minute delay before tagging under this criterion is suggested as good practice"; that being said it is only mentioned in a footnote and not immediately obvious. Perhaps you could just skip these types in IGLOO altogether and let them be picked up by later patrols? I think its a relatively minor issue, your good work far supercedes an honest mistake. --<b style="color:Navy;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:Navy;">bons mots 00:50, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

editing an article so that I have a working document
Hello,

I have been trying to work on editing an article on Rudi Bass. I put in my working article and it is edited in some form not giving me a chance to finish what I have started. If I do this in my area (MrsHayward) area as a working document will people have access to it? It was an unfortunate by working title to call it "Personal Life", perhaps "Creative Life"?

I am struggling a bit with getting the references to link, and to cite external links (if relevant). I know there are help pages, but I find they are less than easy to find and sometimes a bit difficult to follow. I really need a working area to get my head around this. An example of one of my problems is the reference to the work Rudi contributed to the American Church in Paris which is shown on their web page - is this a legitmate refernce and how do I make it?

I see from looking around Wikipedia others are having the same problem.

Any advice, support is appreciated.

Thank you so much, Mrs Hayward MrsHayward (talk) 15:34, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
 * If you would like to make a "working space" for the information you have, you can create a subpage of your userpage (you can click this line and hit 'save page': User:MrsHayward/Rudi Bass). With regard to referencing, Citation templates lists the majority of possible templates. As the page can be overwhelming you could just bookmark the ones most useful to you. I find I use Template:Cite book, Template:Cite journal, Template:Cite web, and Template:Cite news most often.

Thanks for the Barnstar. It was a pretty crappy article, and personally I am very sick of the subject after all of that research.

Alyssa Shouse
In response to your performance of the deletion of the article entitled "Alyssa Shouse", what exactly do you refer to when you state "Does not point out the significance of the subject?" what do you mean by significane? I stated clearly that she has become widely famous across America & the rest of the world and that she is a pop star working with Jason Derulo, a widely recognized american musical artist? I am not debating your actions but I am just in wonder of what I did wrong and would like to know how I can make articles in a correct fashion that will not result in their deletion.

thank you

yours sincerely, Dean Mullen.


 * In order to have a Wikipedia article individuals must meet specific notability criteria (the criteria for musicians is outlined at WP:MUSICBIO). Although you may be a fan of Alyssa Shouse, having a youtube following is a claim that can be made from myriad people on the internet and none of them would be notable for an article either. Being associated with Jason Derulo certainly does not confer notability either, as notability is not inherited - in nutshell: simply being associated with someone notable does not make oneself notable. Please read through the WP:MUSICBIO link and if you believe you could update the article to meet any of the criteria I will be happy to move the article to your userspace where you can work on it before moving it back to article space. <b style="color:Navy;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:Navy;">bons mots 17:22, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

You deleted a page I wrote: Butterflies
Dear Ponyo,

I noticed that you deleted a page I wrote about Alana Lee's song "Butterflies". I have read your reasons for deletion and I have not found any reason why the page should have been removed. You might have seen that I did not quote any sources - you would be wrong in assuming that this was because there were not any! I used the ARK Music Factory website and starcasm.net, as well as my own observations on the number of views on YouTube videos; I think you will agree that there is nothing unreliable about these sources. I write Wikipedia articles because I am committed to adding to the sum of human knowledge. With Rebecca Black's song Friday being so topical in the digital world this very moment, it is a true fact that Alana Lee's Butterflies has become far more popular than it initially was and is notable by any definition of the word. I ask you to restore the article so that my hard work in research and my time do not go to waste, and so that the world can always turn to Wikipedia as a source for knowledge. Thank you for reading this message, and I hope you can reply soon.

 * I'm happy to hear that you are excited about contributing to Wikipedia, however there are notability criteria that must be met in order to have an article. Specifically, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and any information added to it must demonstrate its importance for inclusion. Regarding the sources you listed as having used, the ARK Music Factory website is affiliated with the subject, starcasm.net does not meet any reliability criteria, and your own observations are considered original research and cannot be used. What you would need to include in the article in order to satisfy notability criteria would be reliable, independent sources that have covered Alana Lee's song in a way that show it meets WP:SONG. If you would like I can move the article to your userspace and you can work on adding sources there, or I can email you a copy of the deleted article so you can work on it independently. --<b style="color:Navy;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:Navy;">bons mots 21:59, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

 * The article was deleted as being overly-promotional, which I confirmed upon review. The article consisted of marketing jargon without actually explaining why it is notable. This is understandable as the fact that you are affiliated with the company creates a conflict of interest wherein it becomes difficult to edit an article in a neutral fashion. Example promotional phrases included:
 * "bringing together bright and young enthusiastic entrepreneurial minds"
 * "a group of enthusiasts who went on to become first time entrepreneurs after working with major multinational corporations worldwide"
 * Please read WP:ORG as it lists the notability criteria required for an organization to have an article on Wikipedia.

Hi Ponyo. What exactly is a Comments page on a Talk page? You don't see too many of those. The one good edit was made in 2006, and it probably belonged on the Talk page itself, rather than on the Talk/Comments page. And 5 years later, the main article has 21 references. So what is the purpose of keeping this Talk/Comments page? There has been a problem with Talk/Comments pages on British topics attracting sockpuppets. That is my reason for tidying up here.

 * In order to have an article about a company on Wikipedia, it needs to meet the notability criteria as outlined at WP:ORG. Also, it is a conflict of interest for your friend to write about his own company; it is very nearly impossible to write about the company in a truly neutral fashion when you are so close to the subject. I know that he doesn't believe the article was promotional, but "wanted to talk about the company he owns" and "letting people know what they are doing and what they do" is promotion. If the company is truly notable (in the Wikipedia sense) an uninvolved and neutral editor will eventually create an article on them. --<b style="color:Navy;">Jezebel's</b> Ponyo <sup style="color:Navy;">bons mots 23:54, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
