Speedy deletion contested: Avikkottai
Hello RDN1F. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Avikkottai, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. Thank you. -- Σ talk contribs  18:33, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Summer Eleven
Hello RDN1F, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Summer Eleven, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Falls out of A7 scope. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. -- Σ talk contribs  18:37, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Basically it's an article about four girls who have made a play. This is not at all notable. It has no references and is not written in an encyclopaedic article. RDN1F (talk) 18:40, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * That does not address my concern - it does not fall within the scope of WP:CSD, which is relatively larger than the others in the A series. Additionally, A7 has nothing to do with notability - a new article with "Joseph Stalin was a person" could be speedily deleted under A7, but "Joseph Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union" could not, as being a leader of a nation is a credible assertion of importance, even though it is unreferenced. You should look over WP:CSD if you have concerns. Thanks, -- Σ talk contribs  18:51, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Nonsense
I've declined your speedy request on Ijubili because it isn't nonsense, it's in Foreign. Which branch of Foreign, I've not established any closer than it's spoken in South Africa. H.M.J. Masiza appears to be known, and the title of this translates as Jubilee. It looks like prose, but the lines have run together so you can't see it's a poem. Which probably means it's copyright. I've prodded it. You have to be careful with the nonsense tag - some types of Foreign aren't easy to spot. If it's longer than 'iytcuy ibgoiuvop', it's probably another language.

Bad joke
That was a spectacular demonstration of lack of common sense, I suggest you don't do things like that again and instead follow The Golden Rule. Yoenit (talk) 20:29, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * If it's any consolation, RDN1F, I think you've been treated a little shabbily here. My advice would be to ignore the insult, accept the advice on AFD's, and move on with your life, perhaps a little more jaded about how things sometimes work here.  That doesn't sound optimal, but it's better than stewing about it, or making yourself more miserable by dragging out a fairly minor spat. --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:34, 22 September 2011 (UTC) (p.s. also, I have to say, if you were offended by the trouting at the AFD, then it seems a little unreasonable to return the favor.  Almost always better to de-escalate, rather than escalate, even if you think you've been mistreated.) --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:54, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

WP:NOTCENSORED/WP:REFACTOR
Read them. Don't ever refactor someone else's remarks. I'm an adult, I will use whatever language I see fit and will not be censored by the likes of you, or anyone else. Just leave it alone already. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:00, 23 September 2011 (UTC)


 * And you couldn't have picked an alternative way of saying what you wanted? It's Wikipedia, not Sickipedia. RDN1F                 TALK   18:03, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Whatever. Grow up, and let it go already. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:09, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * You've got inappropriate language on your page which you're not deleting just to prove a point? I think you are the one who needs to grow up. I'm not offended by the language but I am sure you aware that ANYONE can go on Wikipedia and ANYONE can view your talk page, including younger people, elder people and your employer. No where does it say 'Wikipedia is not censored, so go ahead and cover your talk page with swear words and insults'. You should treat your talk page the way you would an article <font style="color:#FF0000;background:#FF0000;">RDN1F                 TALK   18:13, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * You are dead wrong. What you just wrote is badly out of step with common practice here and is not supported by any policy or guideline that I am aware of. Now please, let it go. And don't leave any more talkback notices on my talk page, they will be removed and your reply here will not be read by me as I do not see any purpose in continuing this pointless debate with you. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:17, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * In all my time at Wikipedia, yours is the only talk page with swearing on it. I don't care if you delete it or not...it's up to you. You've proved whatever point you were trying to make. Go and get on with your life while I archive this whole discussion, to save your from the humiliation of people seeing your stupidity on public display. <font style="color:#FF0000;background:#FF0000;">RDN1F                 TALK   18:21, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

I'd seriously let it go
Come on. Look, whether he should have given a trout or not, he did, and it's his prerogative to do that. I'd seriously just let it go.

You know, your nom was unusally succinct. You're supposed to do due diligence before you nominate an article at WP:AFD. Maybe you did, but your nom didn't prove that. A more typical nom would be something like "Is this guy notable? He doesn't seem to meet WP:PROF, since he he has no published books, and the refs don't show any sign of meeting the WP:GNG general guidelines for notability" or whatever. With a nom like "Is he notable" we don't know if you just randomly clicked on the article and sent it up. I think this is what Beetle was objecting to.

I'm OK with your nom. Maybe we are too wordy sometimes. But on the other hand, some indication that you have some reason to believe he's not notable would be welcome, and would show due diligence, and would help the discussion get started.

Anyway, it's not worth worrying about, we live and learn, just let it go. Herostratus (talk) 04:20, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
