Question regarding creating a new page.s
Hello Xevus11,

You had marked a page i created for deletion earlier today and had asked me to reach out to you if i had questions. This comment is in accordance to that.

I attended an art exhibition at Roosevelt Public Library, New York. Libin Babu, whom i created the page on, was their featured artist for the month of November. His art exhibition was featured at the library throughout the month, in relation to Black history and Heritage. His technique was extremely unique. He had developed a new method of creating portraits using individual particles, taking inspiration from the neo-impressionism era technique Pointillism.

The audience (including myself) and the library administration themselves were stunned by this innovation, infact i believe that the library itself is buying a number of exhibits from the painter. They are also collaborating with the artist along with organisations like the Mandela foundation, to create a project aiming towards the black history month.

I felt like i needed to give you some context, that's why. I just wished to create a page for this artist and the new technique itself, completely elaborating the details, which i have researched on already. I had accidentally published a work in progress article on Mr.Libin, and i fully understand why you could have thought that it was an amateur article. I had barely began. As for references, you can see that the artist i made the page on is featured in the homepage of Roosevelt Library's website as the artist for the month, right now as we speak.

I have contested the deletion as i was instructed in the message. So my question is, may i go ahead and complete the page? Is there anything i should keep in mind while doing so, in a procedural sense? Looking forward to your inputs. Rexbison1304 (talk) 01:07, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * There is nothing you need to do, I do not delete pages, only the admins can do that. That being said, in the future I urge you to use the sandbox for pages you are working on, and then moving them to the article space. This keeps clutter out of the new page feed, and helps prevent situations like this. If you want more information on when an article is ready for the main space, check out Notability.Xevus11 (talk) 01:25, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I just noticed the article in question was deleted. If you want to continue working on it, check out Requests for undeletion. Xevus11 (talk) 01:27, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Bekir Kaya speedy deletion...
Dear Xevus11,

I am curious how you have the feeling that it is a copyright infringement. Yes, a lot of the info is from the HDP info, but as you could see I put in other sources as well, which confirm the info from the HDP web site. actually in the other websites there is quite some more info about his life than in the HDP Website. There he had only one child, later he got a second, which is then written in the Ahval article. Also all the accusationdetails come from the Ahval article...  I formulated the phrases differently than in the HDP webpage. And as you might see in my Page I am more in the german wiki, and there whole articles are included in Wikiarticles (not from me, but from at least one other) and all there was needed is a citation. He is an important politician from a major city. From my point of view you can enhance the article, but not delete it. Cheers, --Lean Anael (talk) 23:53, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Unforunitly, the speedy deletion is the only tool given to NPP to deal with copyright violations-I have no "fix this section" tool. The paricular problem here is not the content, but that about 44% of the article has the exact same wording as its source. If you would like to keep this article, reword those sessions, contest the deletion, and ask an admin to delete the old revisions with the Revision deletion tag.

You could write to me or others who created the page on the talk page.... And I have rephrased the very most of the phrases. I found 1 phrase that was the same. The one about the representation of Van in a sort of a "world city council". I rephrased this phrase as well now. I have checked other new articles Several of these articles contain simply one phrase. That now this article about Bekir Kaya should be deleted, who really is an important influential exceptional politician who is in prison and after having been accused of terrorism for having built a bridge... You can ask for a rephrase at the talk page, but a deletion (or a speedy deletion) is from my point of view a bit an overreaction. Cheers,--Lean Anael (talk) 01:21, 10 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Xevus11, I don't know enough about the tools you have as a new page patroller, but there is always the copyvio template that can be inserted manually to surround a specific section of text with copyright violations. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:32, 10 December 2018 (UTC)
