I want to edit this page to make it more appropriate. I would ask editors to help edit it to make it in line with guidelines which talk about existing authors. Albatross555 (talk) 12:12, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


 * ✅. I've restored this because I'm not seeing that it's unambiguous promotion. However, the article doesn't yet show why this author is notable, so it could still be deleted through prod or AfD. I'd suggest you carefully read WP:BIO and find some independent, reliable sources that show why she is notable.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  14:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

List of snipe hunts


Please userfy. I want to put this on another wiki. Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:27, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ Once copied to the other wiki, please use db-u1 to re-delete it.--Aervanath (talk) 11:36, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Sprinturf


Requesting userification for reworking into a usable article. This has been deleted several times recently, so I would like the version closest to a usable article if possible. ThaddeusB (talk) 15:25, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅. All versions restored and userfied to User:ThaddeusB/Sprinturf so you can pick and choose. Have fun with it.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  16:41, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

José Liard


I am an art historian doing my Ph D; a well-merited journalist since 23 years, and a senior producer and editor of Swedish Television Cultural News. I discovered a gap in the information on Wikipedia, concerning a well-known artist and jazz-musician by the name of José Luis Liard, who, among other things, have performed on television in South America and Sweden, and he has also made the biggest mural paintings ever made in Sweden. He is also famous for his artistic and social work together with young graffiti-painters in troubled city surburbs. Somebody with the signature "BigDunc" has for some reason decided that this article should be considered as promotional spam. For whom, or what? I might ask.

I am a professional scholar trying to contribute to the body of science on Wikipedia, adding a contemporary artist not yet added. Any information concerning a presently living person could of course be considered as a sign-post for that person. The key question should therefore be: Is this person represented before in some public area/space? Yes. Has this person been recognized by the media for his work? Yes. Has this person published his work to a wider audience? Yes. Does this person have an international career? Yes.

I would like to have some kind of explanation why the work that I have done, writing this article for no commercial benefit whatsoever, should be deleted by some complete stranger who has not given any valid reason for this action. I consider this a sabotage of the free exchange of information on Wikipedia.

 * Article is not currently deleted, so this is the wrong venue. Give the deleting admin more than 15 minutes to get back to you -- not everyone edits here 24/7.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  16:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The article was deleted but I don't know which admin deleted it, it has now been recreated by Moa1. How can I find out what admin deleted it and the reason so as better to help this new editor. BigDunc  20:34, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Go to the article and click on the history tab. At the top of the history page, right under "Revision history of José Liard" you'll see "View logs for this page". Click that link and you'll see the deleting admin, links to his/her page, and the reason for deletion. HTH! -- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  21:36, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Html comics


11:40, 28 July 2009 Alexf (talk | contribs) deleted "Html comics" ‎ (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion)

RED LINK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Html_comics

My article was deleted, and yet, I find it to be credible and relevant as informative, not merely advertisement and promotional. The article describes a concept for a website, without providing links to the site, hence no direct advertisement for it. The website described is one that could change the entire perspective of distribution of reading material. It describes a website that uses the logical premises inherent to a library and its approach to redefine the Internet as a medium of delivery for a library. Below is a copy-and-paste of the article. Please review it, and please respond back to me by eMail at Data@DatabaseEngineers.com.

I hope that you find the same relevance and see the same value within the article that has been perceived by several hundred others whom have reviewed it.

 * Between the potential copyright violation issues and the lack of any claim of meeting WP:WEB, this would not be an uncontroversial undeletion. WP:DRV is the best venue for this. However, before listing there, you'd be doing yourself a big favor if you read WP:COI, because that issue will surely come up.


 * SPAM will also come up at DRV, as will Copyrights. Again, I'd suggest reading those carefully before listing at DRV. HTH!-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  16:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

The Barnegat Fund


This page is informative and similarly important like the pages describing several other hedge funds and their investment strategy. It is beneficial to shed light on the often secretive hedge fund world that is hidden from the average man and woman PlayForKeeps (talk) 14:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment for whoever wants to handle this (I consider myself an involved admin): this was a recreation of Barnegat Fund Management which was deleted at Articles for deletion/Barnegat Fund Management.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  14:39, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Since no one else has offered to undelete this, I'm going to boldly call it rejected. If you'd still like to pursue restoration, WP:DRV would be the appropriate venue.-- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  22:48, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
