Speedy deletion nomination of Peter Barr


A tag has been placed on Peter Barr 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here.  — PinkAmpers  &#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  03:34, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of John Shand


The article John Shand has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * not notable

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. 88.104.26.129 (talk) 05:40, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Re this edit, are you saying that receiving a QSO makes you automatically notable? If so, is there broad agreement on this? I'm not questioning your stance, I'm just trying to clarify whether I understand you correctly.

Not English
Welcome. Before you do that again, please check the editing history of the article first. Wikipedia is a public website and many articles are edited by tens, hundreds of people. Leaving a message to the article nominator for something which has taken place since it was created is poor wikipedianship. If you're going to template people, at least get your facts straight and find who added the offensive/problematic material. Thankyou.♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:32, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Your prod of The Victim of Lust
After you placed prod tags on two articles I started I thought I would look at other recent prods you left. Are those who place prod tags expected to comply with the advice of WP:BEFORE? Because, if they are, no offense, but I think your efforts fell short with your prod of The Victim of Lust.

About half a minute with google's book search confirmed for me that there existed numerous books that covered The Victim of Lust, which seems to have been not merely a forgotten and forgettable piece of 19th century smut, but rather one of the most popular and best remembered 19th century books of this genre. Bram Stoker, author of the original Dracula novel wrote about it.

I added some more references, and removed your prod. Geo Swan (talk) 21:15, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Contested Prod, Sound map
I have removed the prod tag from Sound map, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the prod template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Could you explain more fully your concerns over Robert S. Pierson (ship) and Saginaw (ship, 1953)?
You placed prod tags on Robert S. Pierson (ship) and Saginaw (ship, 1953). I have started dozens of articles on vessels. The last time any of them were challenged were these four: From your contribution history you seem to be well-intentioned quality control volunteer. I think the guy who made those four nominations was wikihounding me. I questioned him when he and some other India nationalists were making some really lousy and policy-noncompliant arguments in a tfd related to the India/Pakistan conflict over Kashmir.
 * 1) Articles for deletion/Kwasind
 * 2) Articles for deletion/Ongiara (ship, 1885)
 * 3) Articles for deletion/Frankfurt (icebreaker)
 * 4) Articles for deletion/Keiler

The comment where he withdrew his first nomination said: "Withdrawing nomination Although this still fails WP:GNG but only because everyone else feels this boat is a Ship and lack of WP:NSHIPS and WP:NBOATS (no clear notability guidelines so far)".

It is true that there is no WP:NSHIPS and WP:NBOATS. But, I think if you look at the afds you will see that there is a pretty firm consensus that vessels of this type are notable. One participant in those discussions suggested that the rule of thumb could be vessels longer than 30 metres or 100 feet. I have my own rule of thumb.

So, if you think these vessels are non-notable for some reason that didn't apply to the Kwasind, Ongiara (ship, 1885), Frankfurt (icebreaker) and Keiler, could you explain that reasoning more fully?

The two vessels in question are special purpose lake freighters. There are currently about 100 lake freighters, the oldest being about 100 years old (fresh water freighters don't wear out nearly as quickly as salt water vessels), and maybe there one or two hundred former vessels. When there are sufficient references -- about as many as in these two articles -- I think we could cover them all. Note: these vessels will probably carry more than a billion dollars worth of cargo, over their lifetimes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald, the lake vessel that sank, and whose loss was commemorated in the song, The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, is probably the most famous lake vessel. Another approach would be to only cover vessels as famous as the Edmund Fitzgerald, that were wrecked spectacularly. But that would be very biased coverage, implying these vessels were much more unsafe than they actually are.

If you choose not explain your reasoning more fully I will remove those prod tags in a couple of days, linking to this comment as my explanation.

Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 21:15, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Probably I'll put the least-sourced one up for AfD sometime shortly. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:24, 20 November 2013 (UTC)


 * You nominated MV Saginaw for afd nine minutes after I left the civil questions above. Clearly nine minutes was not long enough for you to review the four earlier afd I advised you of above.  I think you let yourself down, and let down the entire community, by choosing not to take the collegial step of reviewing the earlier discussions so you skipped considering the possibility you made a mistake.  I don't think there is any way you could have reviewed those earlier discussions without realizing how counter to the prevailing consensus your concerns were.


 * If I were your friend I would give you a friendly warning that by choosing to escalate from prod to afd you risk leaving other contributors with the impression you just can't be bothered to interact with other contributors in a collegial manner. I think you should be concerned it made you look reckless.


 * I think you let the entire project down here, as all of the people who read or participated in the afd would have had that time to spend more productively, if only you had been able to bring yourself to read the clear consensus in the earlier discussions. If you had read those earlier discussions properly, you wouldn't have made a nomination unless you could come up with new and compelling arguments for deletion, and if you realized you didn't have new and compelling arguments for deletion you would have removed the prod tags yourself, or agreed they should be removed.


 * I added your prods to WikiProject Ships/AFD. Geo Swan (talk) 15:33, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
 * If you feel aggrieved, I encourage you to take the issue to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents or similar, since I see my behaviour as entirely reasonable. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:22, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I think we both know that the best moment to seek administrator attention to your lapses of collegiality would have been when I first noticed your escalation of a prod to an afd.

Geo Swan (talk) 20:20, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Regarding your query on my talk page, Geo Swan: I have not looked at your specific case; sorry, I should have spelled that out. I have worked a lot with Stuartyeates and he has always been a very good editor. There are people niggling on his talk page about a series of 3000 or so stubs that he once created and that was one of the best things anybody ever did on WP; it's hugely helpful for NZ editors to have all that stubs. Hence, I disagree, in a general sense, that there is something on Stuartyeates' talk page that points to a wider problem.  Schwede 66  01:57, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Notification of "article" deletion
Hi,

Don't know if you're watching my page or not, as it was only a boilerplate notification you left (and possibly automated), but you might want to read my reply on the proposed deletion of "my" article.

All the best, Ubcule (talk) 23:06, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited M. Sayle Taylor, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mutual (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

National integration
You dropped something by my talk page about this page. It is terrible and should be deleted in its (then) current form. However, that is not the page I created, which was a straightforward redirect to the Brazilian Ministry of National Integration which is perfectly notable.

You may want to drop something by the talk page of whoever created the (rather awful) (then) current page but for now I'm just deleting everything (it's something like a line of unsourced text between several large templates complaining about the line of text) and restoring my redirect.

If that doesn't fix the problem and I have to go somewhere to explain why there should be a redirect, let me know. Otherwise, good show letting the page creator know about the process but remember to check if the original page was a redirect to something else. Restoring it might fix the problem you had with the current page. — Llywelyn II   23:38, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Hm. Apparently this has happened to you before. So, yes, kindly check the description line on that initial edit as you go. — Llywelyn II   23:44, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Non-notable?
Re your "non-notable" tag on the article on the 1936 film The Wagon and the Star which I created, and which was red-linked on the List of New Zealand films, I had already included a reference to Martin & Edwards 1997 book "New Zealand Film 1912-1996" in which this film has a one page article, like all the films in the book (apart from the "international films ass. with NZ" in the appendix). Hugo999 (talk) 20:49, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Sources that list all of something (like all New Zealand movies) are considered WP:ROUTINE coverage. Most of the stubs you have been creating look fine, but this one seems borderline to me. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:56, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of HC of Mozambique in London
Hi Stuartyeates,

I see that you deleted my page for the High Commission of Mozambique. I have restored it for now - if you would like to delete it again feel free but please could you do the following first:


 * Delete everything other single 'Embassy of XX in London' page. Here's a handy link to get you started: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Diplomatic_missions_in_the_United_Kingdom
 * Then get to work on all the embassies in Canada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Diplomatic_missions_in_Ottawa
 * There's quite a few in Russia you'll need to get working on also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_diplomatic_missions_in_Russia
 * Oh, almost forgot, there's the United States also to do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Diplomatic_missions_in_the_United_States

When you've finished with that lot let me know and I'll go ahead and delete the Mozambique page.

 * To give this section some life, since the development team had their holidays last week meaning nothing really got done (let them have one week off at least), I'll say a few words. 2014 is a new year and thus a new start, over the last year Wikidata celebrated its first birthday which brought reflection over what Wikidata had accomplish. Therefore I want to use the start of 2014 to reflect what Wikidata can do. For my personal over view see this page. For the summary, while it is meant to be a weekly simple update, I feel this can be used a lot more effective to put across not only what happened on Wikidata but things about Wikidata on other wikis, I am hoping to start a section over this within the next few weeks. If you have any suggestions for the summary, feel free to drop me a message at meta or Wikidata. Thanks.
