AfD nomination of Brownmark Films

 * Each relisting generally goes for 5 days, same as the original, though an admin can close the debate early for various reasons. I doubt there will be a fourth relisting, so you will know in a day or two what the ultimate fate of the article will be.  Regards, Resolute 21:38, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Throne
Indeed I was shocked there was no article on the important subject of Glorified rice. It's a grossly neglected area of encyclopedic inquiry I'm afraid. There are no articles here on seven-layer salad, salad pie or many of the other delicacies of the Scandahooligan (also not an article) nation of the Midwest. I may be punished some day for including an uffda reference in one of those articles, but it was worth it. I doubt I used it right though...

1) Unless you're just copy-editing, you're never supposed to change or delete any comments. You can strike your comments by typing don't strike me!  Of course the won't show up, but I'm showing you how it's done.

2) There seems to be some difference of opinion on whether your new vote should go right below your old one or at the bottom. I prefer the bottom because as the discussion evolves I want it indicated that my new vote is a product of that discussion. Just so you know, people tend type !vote instead of vote, since it's not really a "vote", in theory, but an indication based on judgements that is part of a debate. The person who "closes" the debate can weigh the arguments and doesn't have to count votes. Is this more than you ever wanted to know?

3) I try to boycott WikiSpeak in favor of plain English (although sometimes my English ain't so plain). There is a robust use of acronyms and wikiterminology here.

3)If you didn't already know, if you put "wp:" and then what topic you're looking for in the search box you can find policy article pages. So wp: notability, wp: photos, wp: references are examples. Also if you hit the search button instead of pressing or hitting the go button it searches instead of looking up the exact word. Maybe that's obvious, but I didn't realize it and it's helpful since a difference in spelling or capitalization or terminology can draw a blank.

4)I'm very happy to be appreciated for my tireless work promoting Glorified rice, but that pales in comparison to my heroic contribution to saving List of dodgeball variations, Languages in Star Wars and List of alleged UFO-related entities (which has been carved up considerably so you'll have to look at a version in the history to see it in all its glory). My latest effort in insanity is candies. Also can you get any Polish friends you have to weigh in on the heated debate at the Kishka article? I tried to invoke Solomon's law, but to no avail. Vaya con Dios. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:41, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Update
Ah, I see that in fact I voted twice on that subject. My bad. I struck my original conclusion. Thank you for pointing out my oversight. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:35, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you familiar with Snickers salad? I'd really like to do an article on it, but it's not in the Lutheran cookbook I have. I'm also concerned it's so implausible that it will be taken as hoax and deleted. Then of course there will be the challenge of finding good sources covering the subject so the article demonstrates notability and be verified. Uffda. Such are the challenges of encyclopedia building. Any thoughts?ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:20, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Apparently snickers salad isn't as widespread as I was lead to believe. I'm sure it will catch on soon... I wrote up the Pistachio salad article only to discover there is already a Watergate salad that seems to be similar.
 * You're welcome to Seven-layer salad. I'm not very familiar with it, but I think it's awesome. Try to find some sources for it first. You can definitely use the Lutheran cookbook I used for Glorified rice (it's in there along with several other layers of salad), but you'll need more than that as a source I'm afraid.
 * As you've contributed articles on movie related subjects, I wonder if you've seen Kitchen Stories? Elling (don't spoil it if you haven't seen it! It's awesome)? or The Art of Negative Thinking (a small film but if you like dark humor it's a kick in the ass)? I think you will appreciate them. As a New Yorker, the lack of dialog and action in Kitchen stories was painful to behold. I tell my Norwegian friends that I'm sure the movie will be made into a sequel because there is so much more to be left unsaid... How many Dala horses do you have? Oh and this might make you smile: Ole and LenaChildofMidnight (talk) 01:17, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't get too discouraged if anything gets deleted. You can always recreate if there is new news coverage on the subject (or you uncover artices you weren't aware of). The sources don't have to be available online by the way. Also, if you want anything that's deleted, just ask the editor who closes the discussion to save it to your userspace so you can "work on it". That way you don't have to start from scratch. Basically, if there aren't a couple of good sources, it's tough to save an article. Let me know what you think of Kitchen Stories.  Elling is better. Take care. 04:27, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Snickers salad
The Seven-layer salad article is terrific. It warms my heart. A photo and more additions are on the way. I put part of an article I found on the article's talk page, as I don't have time to sort through what else can be added right now. Maybe Brownmark will make a Seven-layer salad movie? I noticed the article claims it's a Southern dish, which i find a little outrageous. The confederacy is always trying to steal Yankee glory. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:59, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

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).

Speedy deletion nomination of Stephanie Barber
A tag has been placed on Stephanie Barber requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Poliça
Hi Shatner1,

Thanks for your edits to Poliça (and Gayngs also!). You added the pronounciation of the band's name to the article, but I had to take it out again. Are you familiar with WP:IPA? It's a guide to write out sounds. If you look up France, you see this: ( or  ; which helps to pronounce it correctly. Now I'm not saying you should do it just like that, but writing it like you did earlier isn't exactly clear to an American, a South African or a Scot (or for a person whose English is a second language, like me!). Anyway, thanks and happy editing. --Soetermans. T / C 16:18, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Game (1984 film)


The article The Game (1984 film) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "No notable actors, no citations, no independent reviews to be found other than on personal blogs."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Non-free rationale for File:Samwell Heart-Mouth.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Samwell Heart-Mouth.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
