inquiry
Dear Xymmax,

I would like to submit you a question about the possibility of creating a page (biography) which was formerly deleted for not matching some notability guidelines.

I'm mentioning the page of "Paolo Corallini", an italian martial artist, master of Aikido.

At that time I guess that page was badly managed by the users, including myself, as I also tried to put some contents into without properly citing the sources.

What I wanted to ask you is whether is possible to insert an english page of this person again, since he's got some primacy in European Aikido and not only.

In short:

He is the highest italian Aikido master recognized by Aikikai Tokyo (the official Aikido Organization), he is the sole italian to own the Aikikai 7th Dan, and one of the very few western people to having received it (first record - on a national base)

Before this, he is the only person, together with a Swedish Master called Ulf Evenas, to hold the 7th Dan Iwama Ryu (a parallel ranking system which became very important in Aikido during '90's). These two men have been the highest in their discipline and the only ones to own these official ranks (second record, on an international base)

I would love to put some lines of him in english as well, since many people in Aikido world have Wikipedia as a great resource of information.

I am waiting for your kind reply about this request and if you feel this article is suitable for English wikipedia (I saw similar articles there, that's why I felt about asking you) I am willing to start the page with some lines, waiting for other users to complete it with reliable details.

Thank you for your attention.

All the best. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nagemasu (talk • contribs) 01:22, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi, and thanks for your patience. I'm not the arbiter what articles may exist on Wikipedia. The best answer I can give is that if there are reliable sources that show he's notable, an article is warranted. If not, it's likely to be deleted. If you'd like, you can start an article in your user space - I can even restore the old one there - and you can work on adding the proper sources before the article is restored. Please let me know if you need assistance. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  19:26, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

No problem with the block applied here. I gave one last warning only because, as you noticed, the previous warning was the only one delivered and was a little stale. But I would not argue at all with the statement that it was a vandalism-only account. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 19:57, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I blocked before your last warning message, or I would have honored it. However, it didn't seem worth it to unblock someone who only had been causing trouble. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  11:42, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
