I've attempted to add my first Article; a brief summary of a company named StrateSphere Enterprises. It was immediately flagged for speedy deletion. The reason the page exists at all is because there is a "dead link" from the KAEC page. Just trying to help out, but I really don't understand what I would have to change about this entry to make it more relevant. According to their website, they also own the rights to franchise COSI restaurants in the Middle East. Would more references to StrateSphere Enterprises increase it's "relevancy"?

Thanks for your answer. I agree with parts of it. What you did not take into consideration is that I was in the start -up phase - especially for the article about Lancaster. While I were collecting information I was interrupted. kind regards BirgerH (talk) 09:18, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

There was a page about "Document classification". But this has two meanings: As automated document classification in computer science and as intellectual document classification i library and information science. The original page was ONLY anout automatic classification. I therefore made a new entry: "Automatic document classification" and changed the first to be about document classification in general. YOU changed it back and wrote that I used too much private research. This is simply nonsens. Please look at the text before you delete it. This kind of experience may make me less inspired to continue contributing to Wikipedia.

Hello Sparthorse. You tagged "Adsasdsasada" for speedy deletion, but you did not notify the article's creator that it had been so tagged. There is strong consensus that the creators of articles tagged for speedy deletion should be warned and that the person placing the tag has that responsibility. All of the major speedy deletion templates contain a pre-formatted warning for this purpose—just copy and paste to the creator's talk page. Thank you. &mdash;  Abhishek  Talk  08:27, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure sure if I am writing this in the right spot and I think you are the person who wants to delete the article James, son of alphaeus biblical criticism. I'm happy for it to be deleted. I'm a bit of a noob at wikipedia but I'm starting to get a few things. I have rewritten my article making sure that every statement has a biblical quote. Because the nature of the piece has changed I have placed the article back in James son of Alphaeus. If this still doesn't meet the requirments of wikipedia then I will require some extra specific assistence. Bunofsteel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bunofsteel (talk • contribs) 06:40, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Ok I am confused. Your criticism is that I am making an argument rather than stating a series of facts and therefore constituting original research. I have trouble understanding why this isn't original research.

Possible brother of Matthew

Another Alphaeus is also the name of the father of the publican Levi mentioned in Mark 2:14 (fact from Matthew). The publican appears as Matthew in Matthew 9:9 (Interpretation as it is truer to say that Matthew tells the same story where the publican is Matthew son of Alphaeus), which has led some (who) to conclude that James and Matthew might have been brothers (sounds like original reserach). However, there is no Biblical account of the two being called brothers, even when they appear side by side in the synoptic list of the Twelve Apostles, next to the fraternal pairs of Peter and Andrew and the sons of Zebedee (true but the biblical references should be here).

If I am making an arguement I would like to know what exactly my argument is. I know what I would like to argue but I haven't done it. I have highlighted the facts that have led me to my conclusions however, given that I am referencing Mark at every step and not taking Mark out of context. I don't see how I am producing original research. Bunofsteel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bunofsteel (talk • contribs) 10:37, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

So Sparthorse now I know that you are yanking my chain. I thought you were going to say that I using a synthetic argument. Do not combine material from "multiple sources" to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by any of the "sources". A synthetic argument according to wikipedia requires more than one source. I have used the Gospel of Mark and which other source? I can't see how I can make a synthetic argument with only one source. The possible brother of Matthew is a synthetic argument because it uses both Matthew and Mark to make a conclusion that is not stated by both. This remains and yet mine is continually removed. Please explain this. Bunofsteel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bunofsteel (talk • contribs) 19:33, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

So how the "possible brother of Matthew" not a synthetic argument? Possible brother of Matthew

Another Alphaeus is also the name of the father of the publican Levi mentioned in Mark 2:14. The publican appears as Matthew in Matthew 9:9, which has led some to conclude that James and Matthew might have been brothers. However, there is no Biblical account of the two being called brothers, even when they appear side by side in the synoptic list of the Twelve Apostles, next to the fraternal pairs of Peter and Andrew and the sons of Zebedee.

It suggests that the publican is the same even because it quotes two different source to imply have Matthew and Levi are the same person when neither source says they are the same person. There is also no source symphasising that argument. Bunofsteel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bunofsteel (talk • contribs) 21:23, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

&mdash;  Titanic1986  Talk

Hello. I was not aware of an edit summary to provide reasoning for my edits. Sorry about that. However, I can elucidate: There is a lot of misconception surrounding Charles Pellegrino's Wiki entries: a lot of them have been mysteriously deleted (I just re-added Ghosts of the Titanic, his book). Also, the entry seems largely dedicated to tarnishing his image rather than being objective about his successful work with archaeology, paleontology and microbiology, or about his slew of books and involvement in documentaries. How many Wiki articles about people are dedicated to slander like that, as opposed to a broad overview of an individual's career? And the blogger who supposedly "unmasked" him, if you read on his website which the Wiki article links to, you'll find it to be one that spreads hoaxes, about more than just him, but about 9/11 too. It is even more absurd that he named it Jamescameron.blogpost.com because Jim Cameron is close friends with Pellegrino, and that is not Jim's official wesbite at all. Additionally, David Brennan is a longtime enemy of Pellegrino, so why would his statements carry enough merit to persist on that page? Titanic1986 (talk) 20:13, 26 October 2011 (UTC)}}

&mdash;  Titanic1986  Talk

Well in that case, if you find the cited sources sufficient to prove Charles Pellegrino lacks a PhD (which I know is not the case), is it not enough that the article is called "Charles Pellegrino" instead of "Dr. Charles Pellegrino"? Why is it necessary to report such controversial material on the article that can potentially harm the author? How does dedicating such a remarkable amount of the article to this issue make the article objective? Is Pellegrino's career truly defined by this one incident alone?

&mdash;  Titanic1986  Talk

I have several reasons to believe otherwise (Pellegrino himself wrote about the ad hoc tribunal in Her Name, Titanic in the 1980s) and I know David Brennan is Pellegrino's enemy, because he was posting 9/11 hoaxes on Pellegrino's discussion forum (and his own blog) years before going to the media about this (heck, he got the idea of going after Pellegrino's PhD from Pellegrino's own books detailing his experiences with Vicotria University). Either way, I feel like my discomfort with the article is being misinterpreted - I have no problem with it being called "Charles Pellegrino" instead of "Dr." and am not concerned whether or not anyone believes he has a PhD. My issue is indeed the matter of undue weight and anyone reading it has only learned about controversial matters related to Pellegrino's career as opposed to things like his contributions to Jim Cameron's AVATAR, his dives to the RMS Titanic in 2001 with JC, more about his books or what not. It makes no sense why so much attention is placed on the PhD controversy in the article, if Wikipedia believes he lacks it, simply drop the "Dr." part. It is not as if I am debating the Last Train controversy outlined in the article, because that is relevant to his work as an author, and people may need to know that the book was revised. But all this information about the PhD controversy doesn't seem very objective, especially when the articles about his books have vanished, and there is mention of little else beyond controversies. I'm new to Wiki so thank you for the links, will certainly discuss this in CP's Talk page.

Re your edit summary: "Once a speedy deletion request has been declined another should not be made. Maybe a prod?" It's also customary to mark the page as patrolled if you've tagged it with a speedy to avoid wasting the time of other patrollers. Using Twinkle would do this automatically for you.

Garrett dubose
Hi. You tagged it as nonsense. That's a tag with a Wikipedia meaning. It doesn't mean the everyday nonsense as opposed to something real. It's for things like 'treryttciuy uiyu6xrtrtrr'. You should do a Google search without quotes if it's not got numbers in the words or is all consonants, as it might be some variety of Foreign (y and w count as vowels in this test). If the words come up, put quotes round the sample and look for a copyvio. Nonsense can also be in English, but it looks like 'Anterior blue the forward fish into noon haphazardly'. (Something like those old spam email subject lines...) All the words mean something, but not together in that order. Something like 'shawn is the most awesomest and he luvs kylee minog and she luvs him' is obviously utter bilge, but not Wikipedia nonsense. The sentence makes sense even though at least part of it is fairly obviously less than true. That's an A7. I deleted this one as A7, anyway. Cheers. Peridon (talk) 19:16, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Awliaya Motobi Md. Abdul Mukit Siddique Al-Quadri Al-Chisti
Hello Sparthorse. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Awliaya Motobi Md. Abdul Mukit Siddique Al-Quadri Al-Chisti, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: enough content has been added since you tagged it to escape A3, and enough assertion of importance for A7.

You tagged it as A3 only a minute after creation - that's much too soon, for A1 or A3 you should wait at least 10 minutes. New users often put in a few words and then click "Save" to see if it works - it is very discouraging and WP:BITEy if a speedy notice pops up immediately. See uw-hasty. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:10, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'd missed the note about waiting ten minutes on CSD:A3. Thanks for pointing that out. Sparthorse (talk) 09:22, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. I have removed your "wikify" tag - the article already had eleven wikilinks in two lines, one could hardly ask for more than that! See my addition to User talk:Saifiadarbar for useful advice to give this sort of newbie. JohnCD (talk) 09:27, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your help with the vital work of patrolling new pages. I noticed that you are not marking some of the pages you've reviewed as patrolled. Please do remember to click the 'mark this page as patrolled' link at the bottom of the new page if you have performed the standard patrolling tasks. Where appropriate, doing so saves time and work by informing fellow patrollers of your review of the page, so that they do not duplicate efforts. Thanks again for volunteering your time at the new pages patrol project. &mdash;  Abhishek  Talk  14:58, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Again, you don't seem to have warned the user about the speedy deletion on Need for speed all games. Please do that. Cheers. &mdash;  Abhishek  Talk  15:04, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * As you will notice from the relevant edit summaries, I use Twinkle. I apologise that Twinkle appears not to have marked pages as patrolled or informed the user about the speedy delete suggestion, but really you ought to be addressing these bugs to the developer of Twinkle, not to me. Thanks, Sparthorse (talk) 15:06, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * A new page will have 'mark this page as patrolled' only if you open it from Special:NewPages. If you open the page from Special:RecentChanges or Special:Contributions/newbies, you won't find that and hence twinkle too does not mark it as patrolled. So I suggest if you come across a new page anywhere other than Special:NewPages, go to  Special:NewPages and open the new article so that the page ends up being marked as patrolled. But Cheers. &mdash;  Abhishek   Talk  15:12, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, its definitely a Twinkle bug. I just added a Prod tag to Inseo Chung after getting to the page from Special:NewPages and it left the page marked as unpatrolled. I had to go back to the page and manually mark it as patrolled. Sparthorse (talk) 15:25, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

PROD's are not marked as patrolled by TW. The reason being that the page author may remove it from an otherwise unnecessary page. So there's no bug here. Cheers. &mdash;  Abhishek  Talk  15:35, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Sparthorse, you may want to add the deletion notice regarding Project Accessory to the talk page of Worstcook's sock, the IP 205.209.83.211. (S)he flips between the two constantly, and won't acknowledge your communication on his/her talk page. Drmargi (talk) 00:20, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. I've learned from long experience that the editor using the two accounts is no guarantee that anything relating to text, be it in the article, on the article's talk page or on his/her own is any guarantee he/she will process what is being said.  This is a person to whom an edit summary is a virtual stranger. Instead, he/she seems to have  a mania for creating tables and overly complicated systems of color coding.  The article is about a spin-off from another of Bravo's endless stable of elimination shows, and is about as notable as any other of their shows is, but there's little hope he/she will invest any effort in writing narrative until the table are done, if ever.

Flying Pen Press
I appreciate that you put a notice on my talk page about your proposed speedy deletion of Flying Pen Press. That gave me the opportunity to work on it and to know what to do if the article was deleted before I could finish my second edit.

As I edit several Wikis and haven't been very active here since my first account ended years ago, I'm not terribly familiar with Wikipedia's current and ever-changing policies.

Is it standard now to mark an article for speedy deletion three minutes after the first edit? In this case, a simple search could have indicated the publisher is mentioned several times on Wikipedia which has full articles on some of its authors. I'm not complaining (it's my fault I didn't put the construction tag on the first edit), but it might discourage newer editors who haven't been doing this for several years.

Thanks for listening! Alden Loveshade (talk) 02:39, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

I posted a very similar note on the article talk page but wanted to put one here. I believe I've followed your helpful suggestions correctly and have added highly reliable sources.

Aaron Hanson
The policy has two different standards which is the result of protracted discussions on the talk page. To add a BLP PROD the article must contain no sources at all, whether reliable or not. To remove a BLP PROD you need a reliable source. At the time you tagged it the article did have a source (a link to the guy's website), which while unreliable is still a source so the article doesn't qualify for BLP PROD. There have been several proposals to allow articles which cite only unreliable sources to be tagged with BLP PROD (indeed there's a discussion ongoing right now about it), but none of them have got consensus. I suggest you send the article through regular PROD or AFD. Hut 8.5 19:50, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Apologies
Sparthorse,

I would like to apologize for any breaches of the rules that I may have done, as I am only new to the site and still learning many new things. did not mean to make trouble and I look forward to making a good contribution to Wikipedia with factual, non-subjective evidence, which in previous articles I have accidentally my own opinions and signed off the article with my name. I went through any things you sent to me in terms of help and getting started and understood many points. Maybe, in my English writing you may find some grammatical or spelling errors, which if permitted you can edit and correct such things. Is it possible for me to be granted permissions for the Albanian version of Wikipedia, guaranteeing I will not break any of your rules? Please do not delete my article about the Pelasgian people, as I will correct it as the rules require.

Hi Sparthorse. While anyone can upload anything to Youtube, this particular video includes a professional set and credits indicating that it was a commercial television broadcast in Taiwan.

Thanks for spotting it. Ideally, you should have actually checked that external source, and then you would have seen the article is an exact copy of it. I accordingly deleted it as copyvio. Anything that sounds like it was written as a promotional bio is more than half the time a copyvio, and that's a very convenient & indisputable way of removing them quickly. In patrolling, always keep a special watch for the most serious problems that would justify speedy.

Please don't be discouraged at the notices on this page. It takes a while to learn all the possibilities, and what we're doing is trying to help you learn, because  the work needs doing. As a more general guide you may gfind it helpful to reread WP:Deletion policy and WP:CSD every week or so as you gain experience. The next step is watching some of the discussions at WP:Deletion Review and AfD and WT:CSD so you see what standards and interpretations are being used. Those discussions can get complicated; watch them for a while first, but once you see the style and the manner of argumentation, then join in, because we always need new voices.

Proposed Deletion of Liberation Frequency
I believe there has been a misunderstanding as to what this online magazine is. It is not simply a forum for unverified comment. It is a reputable interview source, from what I can see, and from how I can see its interviews have been cited. I can start referencing the interviews, but would appreciate knowing if there is enough clarity as to the magazine's substance, that the speedy deletion tag can be removed.

Dreadarthur (talk) 04:21, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

I have taken the liberty of eliminating the proposed deletion tag, based on reputable (and cited)interview activities, involving notable artists profiled elsewhere in Wikipedia, where Liberation Frequency interviews are cited therein. Examples: Lou Rhodes, Imelda May, Matt Berry. This raises an issue as to how to establish the credibility of online publications, other than through the legitimacy of their own activities.

Hope that the justification and related tag removal appear to be reasonable.

Dreadarthur (talk) 00:40, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments. I cannot find an independent review of Liberation Frequency, but again wonder whether the Wikipedia "notability" criteria should be reviewed, in terms of the world of online journals. A search of "Liberation Frequency" discloses multiple references to Liberation Frequency interviews and publications, by artists notable in their own right, on their own websites or pages, including Wikipedia pages.

I am at a loss as to what more to do here. This online journal is clearly notable, but only notable through references by the "independently notable". I hope that the page can stay up, since Liberation Frequency activities are referenced on multiple occasions elsewhere in Wikipedia.

I didn't know about this online publication until quite recently. I developed a page on an album by Lulu, Independence. It turned out that the album was released by Dome Records, which didn't have a Wikipedia page, but where the term was redirected to Full Flava, one of the label's artists. I decided to commence a Dome Records page, and found that one of the few profiles of the label that I could find was in an article published in Liberation Frequency. Since Liberation Frequency didn't have a Wikipedia page...

I hope that the page can stay up, under the circumstances.

Dreadarthur (talk) 05:43, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for advising me of the potential deletion of the page. I have expressed my argument against deletion and in support of maintaining the page, on the related talk page. Here's hoping. It would be a shame if such a notable and cited online publication were deleted, under the circumstances.

Dreadarthur (talk) 06:09, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your further comments. I have made representations at the link you directed me to, in relation to the notability discussion, but on the proposed for deletion talk page, somebody else referred to another link. I ask you to spend five minutes at the Liberation Frequency site. I am certain that you will agree with me that it is far more than a personal blog or discussion forum. Its reviews and interviews are regarded as authoritative, in terms of how they are cited. It seems to me that, faced with an online journal that is viewed by many notable artists as making a positive and objective contribution to the arts, one should see how the Wikipedia notability criteria may be interpreted to accommodate it, rather than bureaucratically applying a rule that then prevents Wikipedia from disseminating knowledge about this online journal to others. One ends up being procedurally correct, but substantially somewhere else, it seems to me.

Please note that I have no vested interest here, one way or another. I didn't know about Liberation Frequency myself until roughly two weeks ago. It is an online magazine, established for several years, featuring a roster of writers and interviewers. I now believe that it contributes much to the arts, and that others would benefit knowing about it through Wikipedia. If the page goes, it goes, but it's a shame, in my view.

December 2011
Hello Sparthorse. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know however, regarding Anthony young music, that tagging articles for speedy deletion moments after creation as lacking context (CSD A1), content (CSD A3) and articles created through the Article Wizard, is too fast. It's best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), pure vandalism (G3), and copyright violations (G12) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks. → Σ  τ  c. 20:56, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I tagged Anthony young music as CSD:A7, not A1 or A3 . Thanks, Sparthorse (talk) 21:06, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * The article has no context for you to be sure that A7 applies. → Σ  τ  c . 21:08, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * A7 does not require the article to have enough context it only requires that the article make no assertion of importance. If you want to rescue this article, please go ahead. But don't make up rules to justify leaving an inappropriate templated message on my talk page. Thanks, Sparthorse (talk) 21:16, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * And if the article were about a notable subject, but the creator only accidentally hit "Save" instead of "Preview"? → Σ  τ  c . 21:36, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Then they could easily recreate the article, with the claim of notability included. By the way, I do look forward to your complaint on Seraphimblade's talk page, since they deleted the article as... CSD:A7. Sparthorse (talk) 21:45, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * You miss my point - newbies have a tendency to write articles with as many edits as possible. You might've interrupted him in his work and scared him off Wikipedia with a deletion notice, [ 1 ] so you could get another CSD tag endorsed? Oh, and your condescending tone helps a lot. →  Σ  τ  c . 22:09, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I might have "interrupted him in his work and scared him off Wikipedia with a deletion notice", perhaps. I might also have stopped a vandal before he/she disrupted Wikipedia. If you search for: "Anthony Young" rapper, its pretty clear this is an extremely non-notable person. There was enough context in the article to see it was about a rapper. It was clear there was no assertion of notability. There is no consensus that you have to wait "at least 10-15 minutes" before CSD:A7 applies. The message you left me was factually incorrect. I pointed out that Seraphimblade deleted the article under the criteria I proposed not because I wanted to "get another CSD tag endorsed" but to show you that another user, an experienced admin no less, agreed with my interpretation of the CSD guidelines, not yours. You made a mistake here. I'm sorry you find it condescending that I pointed it out to you. Sparthorse (talk) 22:26, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Well of course there isn't an assertation of significance if you can't even make out what the article's about. I assure you, if the title hadn't contained "music" in it, it would've been deleted as A1. Happy patrolling, → Σ  τ  c . 22:54, 3 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Like I said, I could tell what it was about because the contents of the article were an infobox which clearly identified the subject as a rapper. If the article had not contained this information I would not have tagged it for A1 for at least 10 minutes because I know about the consensus for not doing so.

Speedy deletion nomination of Myfavoritereview
Hi, I had added two pages a couple of months back which were deleted. One was regarding Independent Film Reviews and the second MyFavoriteReview which is a site for independent and international film and book reviews. For the latter, the reasons cited were lack of external references and links to the site. We worked diligently to get this addressed and also improved the article itself. You have now flagged it for speedy deletion, citing that on Alexa search it comes way down on the list as well as link backs. This issue was not flagged before, so I wonder, eg even if we could address this, what's to say you come up with another reason infinitum that the article cannot be posted. Most film and reviews are all dominated by large studios and sites like Rotten Tomatoes etc. Wiki as I understand it (in lay terms), is a platform which highlights significant people, organizations who make contributions that are worthy in some way shape or form to be recognized or to educate people. If Wiki only becomes a platform for the large, rich, or famous people or organizations, then it is not a good representation of a cross section of society. MyFavoriteReview and the contribution of Independent Film Reviews are the small players that are going against the flow and giving people a diversity of books and films which by themselves would not garner attention. They do not have huge if any marketing budgets to get their name out and up in the rankings, that you cite. However, they do bring value to society and for that merit alone, I ask you to reconsider your decision. thanks Aliyah.jmohammed (talk) 21:46, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

More specifically, I do not think that tagging Battle of the Cats as G3 was called for (why is it patently a hoax?), nor was the WP:NFT PROD, since the article seems to talk about College sport (a fairly well-established area; I even found a dedicated WikiProject after a little searching), rather than something the author obviously made up. Initially I thought the article was going to actually be about feline mi

litary manoeuvres, but since the author seems to have their heart in the right place, we should assume good faith.  It Is Me Here   t / c 16:20, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Personal attacks
Calling an editor a "mischievous idiot" is not helpful. It contravenes Wikipedia's policy on personal attacks. Even when feeling aggrieved, you should comment on actions not contributors. Personal attacks escalate disputes and damage the collegial editing atmosphere that Wikipedia aspires to. Thanks, Sparthorse (talk) 10:05, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Because Fastily is doing damage and not properly using Admin authority - all these requests for deletion are spurious, and any fit Admin would not have placed them. Fastily has now deleted images File:Lord Barnard Vanity Fair 15 December 1898.jpg File:Group of hunters, Vanity Fair, 1901-11-28.jpg File:Cecil Legard, Vanity Fair, 1901-07-11.jpg (these are the ones I've detected) from EN Wiki, after using a sockpuppet ID User:FSII and the the transfer bot to (incorrectly) move them to Commons, even though they were clearly marked on EN Wiki as still under copyright in the country of orgin, the UK, and not to be transferred to Commons until a clearly stated year. Any worthwhile Admin would check stuff like validity of the transfer to Commons before deleting the file from EN Wiki. I left a message on Fastily's talk page requesting to cease and desist these actions, and restore any incorrectly deleted images, and my comments were deleted rather than responded to. Fastily is a danger as an Admin. Rcbutcher (talk) 10:20, 14 January 2012 (UTC)


 * The Admin first used a sockpuppet ID User:FSII to transfer images from EN Wiki Clearly marked as still under copyright in UK and Not to to be transferred to Commons until copyright expired. Hence an Admin ignored clearly-stated Copyright info. Fastily then deleted these images from EN Wiki. This in conjunction with all the spurious delete requests (no value, poor quality - total rubbish). This person is not fit to be an admin. I request you look into it before more damage is done. I do not take to issuing severe criticism lightly, in this case it appears justified. You need to address the facts rather than the wording. Rcbutcher (talk) 10:40, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion
I notice that you tagged the page Shoppimon for speedy deletion with the reason "Web content which doesn't indicate notability". While that's a valid reason for speedy deletion in general, this page does not qualify for speedy deletion under that criterion because the article is about a piece of software, not a website. If you still want the page to be deleted, please consider tagging it with a speedy deletion template which does apply, redirecting it to another page, propose the page for deletion if it appears to be an uncontroversial matter, or take the page to  WP:AFD for discussion on the merits. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 16:22, 14 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Shoppimin is, according to the article, a SaaS app running on EC2. It doesn't execute on the user's local machine, but remotely over the web. So, I'd argue that A7/web content may apply. However, it is a "may" rather than "certainly", so I take you point. I'll use Prod instead. Thanks, Sparthorse (talk) 17:29, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Sparthorse is a Speedy Deletion troll?
Taking a quick read through your talk page it looks like you habitually find pages that are obviously in the creation process and mark them for speedy deletion before they have a chance to take off... why would you do this instead of messaging the user or marking the page as a stub and giving the creator a chance to add sufficient content? It seems to me - based on the sheer volume of speedy deletion comments in your talk page here - that you're just trying to hamstring people that are creating new pages rather than helping them. That's sad. (BigShawe (talk) 11:48, 15 January 2012 (UTC))
 * Then you would be sadly mistaken. Not only did I remove the speedy deletion notice from your article, but I've rescued and improved many articles. The vast majority of the complaints here are from vandals. I'm happy to have annoyed them and helped prevent them from damaging Wikiepdia. If you wish to align yourself with those folks, that's fine, but you'll be known by the company you keep. Sparthorse (talk) 11:52, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you still persist in saying that I am a vandal and a hoaxer, but I'd be glad to keep BigShawe company. AugustinMa (talk) 13:41, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Nugent Francis Cachemaille-Day
Hi, a quick observation about the above. A brand new user created the article, about an important architect, at 22.00. At 22.04, you place a "This article does not cite any references or sources" tag on it. I adopted a different approach adding some references and placing a message on the new editor's talk page explaining what I'd done and why. Just a thought. KJP1 (talk) 00:31, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Deleting my article Mere chuninda Geet.
This is what is mentioned in your wikipedia standard:

5.The book's author is so historically significant that any of his or her written works may be considered notable. This does not simply mean that the book's author is him/herself notable by Wikipedia's standards; rather, the book's author is of exceptional significance and the author's life and body of work would be a common study subject in literature classes.

You gave a reason saying that the article was created only because he's my gandfather. That's not true. He is a noted poet, a historical figure in Hindi Literature. His poems have been posted on so many websites. He was one of the greatest hindi poet in India. Why do you people keep deleting the content like this? Students did Ph. D on him and you say that it is being written only because he's my grandfather. No. Kindly reply. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gsaxena1809 (talk • contribs) 20:35, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Some new changes
To all users who think I'm trouble,

I have been thinking carefully and have come to a final conclusion as to why some other users seem to absolutely hate me and everything I do. These are a list of things I will try to do when I edit Wikipedia. From now on I will:

Not trust Wikipedia when I use it for my own purposes.

Continue editing it for as long as I shall live!

Ignore rude messages to me and report them.

Ignore users that call me names.

Continue fighting vandalism.

Accept all help whether I need it or not.

Ask for help from users that are helpful and polite.

Give help to users who ask for it.

Spend more time on editing Wikipedia instead of trying to persuade others that I don't mean to be mean.

Not give thank you messages to users who do not recieve them well.

Never edit another user's user page.

Continue being polite and competent.

I have sent you this because I think you might benefit from reading it. Androzaniamy (talk) 12:27, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Prods
Prod is for uncontested deletions. Once a prod is removed, by anyone-=-even the original contributor--it may not be replaced for the same reason, since it has been contested. The only way is AfD.  DGG ( talk ) 21:46, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Zylog System limited
 * sorry, what I declined was the speedy, not the prod. But if I decline a speedy saying it might be notable, in practice I'm also going to contest the prod. Whether I contest it at AfD varies. Depends on what others say  DGG ( talk ) 22:11, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Winx Club and Trix
I've added some comments about your proposed deletion of the Trix article. I oppose deletion and recommend Keep and Improve. So I'll remove the deletion banner in a few days unless you can convince me that the article deals with a non-notable topic and/or is otherwise worthless. It would help if you respond on the Trix discussion page and not here, since that way we can keep the discussion in one place. Timothy Perper (talk) 14:13, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox -.

A6
You prodded it whilst i was redirecting. Its been widely touted as the A6 however it was launched as the 5x so its more than a valid redirect anyway as people will be searching for A6. Its a valid redirect. Should not of been speedied as no content which is why i reverted you. So whether an A6 is launched or not its a valid redirect until it it.

Serial Plots
Hello! I see that you have removed many plots of TV Serials giving reason that they are Original Reaserches or unreferenced. Hence would like to point out that as per WP:FILMPLOT, the film (serial in this case) is itself the primary source and no secondary sources are required to refer the plot. Would hence request you to undo you deletions. I found few. But cant go through all of your history. I suppose it would be easier for you to track it. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 10:14, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User talk:KunwarManjar


A tag has been placed on User talk:KunwarManjar, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. GregJackP  Boomer!   11:59, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
