Howdy. Sorry, was working on ref'ing and wikifying at the same time. Billboard has profiled the album, it has a released single, definitely not WP:CRYSTAL (although the absence of any sourcing in the article prior to your redirecting it clearly made it look as such, I realize). I've come across a few other sources, I'm just working on content, sourcing, and a ton of wikifying simultaneously and wanted to get the Billboard bare ref in there to start with. Would you be able to go ahead help with moving it to the correct title capitalization in the meantime? user: J  (talk) 19:21, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Louis Killen
Before I get into the details, let me ask -- is editing messages into each other's "talk:" pages really the best mechanism Wikipedia provides for communication between two people?

Now, as for the topic at hand, you suggested I check out WP:MUSIC for the specific notability rules for musicians. I think Louis Killen would qualify under two of the notability rules:


 * I think he would qualify under the rule, "Has released two or more albums on a major label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable)."


 * Louis Killen's a named performer on 8 albums issued on the Folkways label, which since the death of it's founder Moe Asch, has become a department of Washington, D.C.'s Smithsonian Institution. (See Folkways Records):


 * Sole performer named on cover of "Gallant Lads Are We - Songs of the British Industrial Revolution"
 * One of two performers named on cover of "Sea Songs: Louis Killen, Stan Hugill and the X Seamen's Institute sing of Cape Horn sailing at the Seattle Chantey Festival"
 * One of four performers named on cover of "Steady as She Goes: Songs and Chanties from the Days of Commercial Sail"
 * Five other Smithsonian Folkways albums that are compilations of performances by a variety of artists have at least one track by Louis Killen


 * Louis Killen's a named performer on 7 albums issued on the Topic label. Topic Records' Wikipedia entry describes it as "a British folk music label, which played a major role in the second British folk revival" and "the oldest independent record label in the world".  He's cited on these albums as:


 * Sole performer named on cover of "Louis Killen - Ballads & Broadsides"
 * Named along with other performers, all of them prominent in the British folk revival, on cover of 6 other albums


 * I think he would also qualify under the rule, "Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability."


 * Connecticut's Mystic Seaport Museum (Mystic Seaport Museum) holds an annual Sea Music Festival. On their page of past performers, Killen is considered important enough that other performers enhance their reputation by mentioning some association with him.  E.G. -


 * Judy Cook's entry says, "Louis Killen, himself one of the most respected singers of English traditional song, said of Judy, ..."


 * Walter Askew's entry says, "He has shared the stage with acts such as Lou Killen, ..."


 * Louis Killen would be considered one of the most prominent representatives of:
 * Player of English Concertina
 * Performer of Sea Shanties
 * Performer of songs of British workers - especially coal miners
 * Performer of songs from Northumberland

You wrote, "There's not much to work from in the deleted article. A few bits of information, no sourcing, no real indication that the subject meets the project's notability rules."

Even so, I would like to see what was there to start with. How do I go about getting access to that?

 * You are welcome to work on it in the spot that it currently is in. When you think you have dealt with the issues raised at its deletion debate, you are welcome to file at WP:DRV to get the old deletion debate overturned in favor of the revised article.  But until/unless you can provide Reliable, Independent, Non-trivial sourcing to show that it meets Wikipedia's notability requirements, you are likely wasting your time. - TexasAndroid (talk) 15:20, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Will Carter
Hi. I am curious as to why the page Will Carter was deleted R2daic (talk) 03:56, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * As noted in the deletion log, it appears that as a player he did not meet our notability guidelines at WP:NGRIDIRON. If there's a claim of notability for his administrative work, then there probably needs to be significant coverage in multiple reliable sources.  It can be easily restored if you disagreed with that assessment and would like to work on it.  Kuru   (talk)  12:09, 23 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Yep. It was what was called a "PROD" deletion.  PROD deletions are one of the easiest to have happen, as far as reasoning, but can be negated before or after the fact by a single protest.  If you would like me to consider you to be protesting it, just say so, and I will gladly restore it.  Do note that, when such are restored, I generally also notify the person who originally filed the PROD.  This lets them start a full fledged deletion debate if they still think that the article should be deleted.  So feel free to protest, but just be ready that you may shortly after need to show just why they meet the project's notability criteria if the original filer decides to start up a full deletion debate. - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:57, 23 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Protest is fine by me. I would like to work on it in order to properly source everything. R2daic (talk) 22:16, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

What to do if a TFA needs to be pulled?
Actually, it's happened twice within the last couple of years - see User:Bencherlite/TFA oddities. Hopefully it won't happen again, but if it does, Raul or his three TFA delegates (including me) can pull and reschedule, or in a worst-case scenario when none of us are around there are some prepared blurbs tucked away in a cupboard at Today's featured article/emergency.

TRANSYT topic deletion
I am puzzled why the page "TRANSYT" was deleted in December 2012. I have re-checked the notibility criteria and believe that it satisfied these. I realise this can still be subjective, so maybe I am missing something. I'd like to re-establish the page, but don't went to waste effort if it is simply going to be deleted again, so I need to understand the deficiences of the original article. I did not create the topic, which was a number of years old, but have edited it occasionally in order that it was not wrong/out-of-date. I believe the content was of sufficient interest in its own right (i.e. significant coverage). TRANSYT represents one of, if not THE first ever software program for optimisising traffic signals, and as such has a particular historical interest to readers. I notice that a related page on TRANSYT 7F still exists, and makes reference to its parent software, i.e TRANSYT. This link of course is now broken, as are many other references to TRANSYT from such topics as "Traffic Signals". I'd appreciate it if you could either re-instate the page (ideal) with recommendations so that I can immediately take action to improve it, or please summarise the differences between the topics TRANSYT 7F and TRANSYT, so that I can see why one still exists and the other is deleted. I can then feed this advice into the page before I re-instate it. Thanks.

--AndTonic (talk) 12:17, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
 * It was submitted for PROD deletion by User:RHaworth. PROD deletion is one of the easiest ways to get something deleted, for most any reason.  But if there is even a single protest, before or after, the deletion is invalidated.  If you want me to consider yourself to be in protest, just say so, and I'll revert the deletion.  That said, my standard practice for this type of late after-the-fact restoration is to also notify the original submitter of the PROD.  That way, if they still believe that the article should be deleted, they can submit it to a full AFD deletion debate, the normal next step.  The PROD reason given was "no evidence of notability".  As for the specifics of why it was believed to not be notable, you'll most likely need to take that up with RHaworth.  At a glance at what was there I don't see anything obvious to indicate that it meets notability criteria.  - TexasAndroid (talk) 16:43, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Bibliokleptomania Page Deletion
Hi, I'm new to editing for Wikipedia and was wondering if you could tell me why you deleted the page on Bibliokleptomania? I would like to redo the page or edit it if the information can be un-deleted. Are you adverse to either? Thank you for your time. [ [User:Caendicott] ] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caendicott (talk • contribs) 12:55, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
 * There was nothing useful at the page. It was what we call a test page.  It basically was some garbage characters, and the comment "hi this was < > i live in new york".
 * So there is nothing there that would be useful in building out a new page. That said, there is also nothing about a test page deletion that would prevent a new well sourced article from being written there, if you would like to do so. - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:30, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Okay, thank you. So far I have six articles about Bibliokleptomania, and am planning on compiling a list of books that are of that subject. As new information comes out or is found, I would update my article. I'm going to start the preliminary steps to creating an article. Hopefully, the administrators will find it useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caendicott (talk • contribs) 15:31, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

David Fendel A7 deletion
Hi, I see that you deleted an article on Rabbi David Fendel. While the article may not have substantiated WP:N, I think we do want an article on him. Currently there is an article in the hebrew WP and while I only found one RS in English (http://www.moskowitzprize.com/eng/award-winners/2008-winners/david-fendel/), in Hebrew there are a good few articles that meet WP:RS. I'd suggest moving the page to User talk:Kurname.keren's userspace with an explanation that it must be cleaned up before mainspace. Joe407 (talk) 17:34, 28 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Where was this article previously? I do not see any signs of it at David Fendel nor at Rabbi David Fendel.  Without being able to look back at the previous version, it's very difficult to review my deletion, and impossible to move anything. - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:37, 28 February 2013 (UTC)


 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dovid_Fendel&action=edit&redlink=1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joe407 (talk • contribs)
 * Ok. Dovid vs David.  No wonder I could not find it.  Anyway, the sum total of content at the deleted page was "The driving force behind the success and accomplishments of Yeshivat Hesder of Sderot is the Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Dovid E. Fendel.".  That's not really much text of significance.  Nothing there IMHO worth restoring or userifying.  OTOH, if you believe that he meets notability criteria, and have good reliable sources to show such, then feel free to create a page on him.  - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:14, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Jenny Beth Martin deletion 2011
Hi Texas Android, I'm trying to create this page. I saw the Afd. Apparently the problem was some copy vio, etc., but my article is based on WP:RS and this subject meets WP:NOTE. Apparently, when I try to create the page, it redirects to the Afd. Can you help me? Thanks. Malke 2010 (talk) 04:36, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * The deletion discussion is at Redirects for discussion/Log/2011 September 8. That's an RFD (Redirect for Discussion) not an AFD.  Looking at the discussion, it was about whether the redirect was helpful, or whether having it as a red link would more likely encourage an eventual article to be created there.  It sounds like you want to create such an article.  So feel free to do so.  I see no protection at the article site, so there should be nothing preventing you from creating it.  If you feel more comfortable having a bit of freedom of time to create it without people deleting it before you can get it well sourced, you could try creating it in your user space first, then moving it to article space once you have it well sourced. - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:20, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for letting me know that. Malke 2010 (talk) 17:38, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I seem to be doing something wrong. I can't move the page. Can you help if you have the time? I'd appreciate it. Malke 2010 (talk) 17:47, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Infobox photo consensus discussion
Hi. Can you offer your opinion on which photo is more appropriate for the Infobox in the Scott Allie article in this discussion? You don't need to know anything about Allie; I'm contacting you because you've worked on Featured Pictures. I tried contacting lots of editors who work on comics-related articles, but every time I do so, we wind up with the sentiments split down the middle, and no clear consensus.

Llywelyn ap Gruffyd
I notice you sorted out a re-direct relating to the above. That problem came about as a result of User:Iamamazing77 page moved Llywellyn the Last to Llywelyn ap Gruffyd earlier today. That move was without discusion and, IMO, was contrary to WP:COMMONNAME. I tried to reverse his page moves but seem unable to do so - in fact I've screwed something up now so that the page goes to some weird re-direct. Would you mind seeing if you could sort it out? Thanks. DeCausa (talk) 21:15, 12 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Somehow (I have no idea how) I seem to have moved it to Module talk:Llywelyn the Last, but I don't seem to be able to move it to a proper article title name. DeCausa (talk) 21:18, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Yes you have. Thanks. sorry for the mess up and causing you extra work. DeCausa (talk) 09:46, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
 * NP. Basically what happened on your last move was that you had the page name correct, but you had changed the namespace incorrectly.  Check out the Move page, and look at the dropdown right before the box to enter the target name.  That's where you can change the namespace.  It's how pages can be moved to user space for userification, for instance.  In your particular case, it looks like you somehow ended up with a random namespace. - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:26, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Your edit at Bainki
Why did you get involved in the page at Bainki? You could not have read the two previous edit comments and made the edit that you did. Thank you, Unscintillating (talk) 23:27, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I explained it in the edit comment. Soft Redirects are not, usually, supposed to be used for internal links.  They exist to make external links.  For internal links, in 99.999% of the cases, hard redirects are vastly better and more proper.  As for how I came across this, it was popping up on the Short Pages report.  Soft redirects do that.  Functional hard redirects do not.  Just one of the reasons hard redirects are preferable for internal links.  - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:01, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the explanation about Short Pages, that is helpful. Ok, I read WP:Soft redirect.  I also see at WT:Special:Shortpages you have been doing this for five years.  But general principles are general principles and may or may not apply in a specific case.  And in this case, you've still not shown that you know that you restored a misspelled template.  I'd suggest that you look at the recent edit history before applying general principles, as exigencies may exist.  Another point, I am aware that soft redirects are used for deprecated hard redirects, as at WP:NOTNEWS, which is something you've not mentioned.  IMO, none of the general-case theory mentioned here applies, as this hard direct is not "vastly better", it is not "more proper", and the problem of showing up on short pages has a standardized template fix, Template:Long comment.  If you don't wish to respond, I'll follow up, but since you've been doing this for a while you might have more than one suggestion.  Also, I started a talk page at Talk:Bainki.  Regards, Unscintillating (talk) 04:11, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

My "protest page" deletion
Hi,

I did not create a "protest page". The instructions said "press the button to contest a speedy deletion". When I went to my page to contest the speedy deletion there was no button. I created an edit saying "hey, where is page" so I can follow instructions. If a page is nominated for speedy deletion and the instructions for contesting it involve pressing a button, presumably the page is not to be deleted so fast no on can press said button, is it?

I'm following your suggestion and I've contacted the speedy deleting admin with what I suppose is the correct way to do this: I've made an edit on his talk page (there was no clear instruction other than "contact admin" and a link to the non-talk page).

 * The key issue here that needs to be answered first is whether or not the building is separately notable from the college. The college is without question notable, but the buildings are not necessarily so.  If you can come up with a few sources that meet the requirements of WP:RS, then you can show notability.  But without that, any separate article about the building is subject to deletion.  In the specific case, rather than deleting the article, I chose to redirect to the college.  That way anyone who happened to search for the building would find the college on which it is located. - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:14, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Hey TexasAndroid, Thank you for your efficient and quick response to reposting Danso Gordon's wikipedia information back online. The only issue is that the article above mentioned: ^ "actor (Danso Gordon) asks to leave South of Nowhere". February 14, 2007. Retrieved March 21, 2013. The slanderous article is defamation of his character, since he was never "homophobic", and "never disliked the creators of the show he was a part of", his interview with another SON fanclub clears the air: southofnowhereonline.com/interviews/danso_gordon_interview.php. He also has had a quote for years in imdb stating: "People should have the right to go where they wanna go, be who they wanna be, date who they wanna date and live the way they want to live...you owe it to yourself to be true to you, period." Thank you again for your response, innacurate accusations on the internet like this should have harsher consequences than simply the moral erosion it creates. thanks again, TexasAndroid.

Wikipedia long ago decided on the notability requirements for articles.  As an admin, it is my responsibility to enforce those standards.  You are wanting to place an article on the Wikipedia site, then it *must* meet those standards.

Thanks for uploading File:AGT3top10.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:02, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Request to take part in a survey
Hi there. I would very much appreciate it if you could spend ~2 minutes and take a short survey - a project trying to understand why the most active Wikipedia contributors (such as yourself) may reduce their activity, or retire. I sent you an email with details, if you did not get it please send me a wikiemail, so that I can send you an email with the survey questions. I would very much appreciate your cooperation, as you are among the most active Wikipedia editors who show a pattern of reduced activity, and thus your response would be extremely valuable. Thanks! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 11:29, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

Netta Skog
Hello, just wondering why the article on Netta Skog was deleted. It's relevant in the fact that she is a former band member of the band Turisas. I don't see why the A7 tag applies. 98.176.241.241 (talk) 04:52, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Please read WP:MUSIC. The article as it was written showed no indication that the person met Wikipedia's notability standards.  - TexasAndroid (talk) 15:43, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Requesting your opinion on a photo
Hi. We really need your opinion on which of these photos would make the best Infobox portrait for the Rick Remender article. Could you please offer your opinion in that discussion? The most recent subsection of that discussion is here, so you can just chime in there if you don't want to read the whole thread. I really appreciate it. Thanks.

Epsom Hospital Radio
Hello, TexasAndroid. I see you deleted Epsom Hospital Radio; could you please restore it to&#32;User:Launchballer/Epsom Hospital Radio because an article on the hospital is on its way at User:Launchballer/Epsom General Hospital and I was wondering if there was anything there that is worth including? Thank you.-- Laun  chba  ller  10:46, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
