Speedy deletion nomination of Women LEAD

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Women LEAD, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 19:36, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm wondering, if we work on it can Jack Monroe get featured in the, "Did you know" section on the Main Page? Proxima Centauri (talk) 08:34, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Human–animal marriage

I think making a new article called "Animal sexual abuse" would be better, or you can suggest me a title.

Also the Snake incident[1], was proved to be fake, so why we are still keeping it? OccultZone (talk) 04:46, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Zoophilia, or possibly Cruelty to animals would probably the best place for writing about animal sexual abuse, but human–animal marriage implies mutual consent, rather than abuse.

The snake incident hasn't been proven to be a hoax from the references there so far, but is asserted to have been fake by one reference which now appears to be offline. If you can find better references proving it was a hoax, then it should be described as such in the article. Ruby Murray (talk) 09:24, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Cruelty to animals and Zoophilia are different types of articles, they don't talk about the incidents, but they talk the theories . OccultZone (talk) 10:35, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Well if you don't think that incidents belong in either of those two articles, then you can always start a new article about notable incidents of animal sexual abuse. But that's still something separate to marriage, which is not intentional abuse or cruelty. Ruby Murray (talk) 10:39, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, new article. Just 2 incidents won't make a whole page, so now i am trying to check, if there are more. OccultZone (talk) 10:57, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Washington Redskins

Can you help me out again? Al.dobyns reverted the Redskins article yet again and I think I may have inadvertently violated WP:3RR myself in trying to clean it up, so I'm reluctant to keep doing it. It's clear he's not willing to listen to anyone, so I've requested administrator help. 1995hoo (talk) 18:07, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

I think you did the right thing by noting your inadvertent error at the Admin noticeboard. The editor in question feels victimized by Redskins fans: I've never even watched them play, so I have no axe to grind there. Ruby Murray 18:20, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Hopefully the matter is over with. Al.dobyns is just assuming that anyone who doesn't attack the Redskin name must be a fan, and frankly I don't think the user was being sincere at all in the attacks. I did grow up rooting for the Redskins, but I don't really watch any football all that often these days. I prefer the NHL. Thanks again for helping with the reverting prior to the administrators resolving it.

Thanks

Thanks for the introduction to WP:REFLINKS by your example usage. Alatari (talk) 08:57, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Handy, isn't it. I've also tried out ProveIt, and that's very good too, but for now I've been using Reflinks, especially for chipping away at Category:Articles needing link rot cleanup. Ruby Murray 09:01, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Leroy Griffith

You did not read the reference in question thoroughly; 1961 refers to the year he began in South Florida. The paragraph immediately following states: "He estimates he has owned and managed more than 40 such businesses over more than five decades from Portland to New York." Those businesses are not limited to Miami, Portland, and New York alone but range from Portland to New York. When accounting for the fact that he began in the industry in the late '40s, this would correctly count as the 7th decade. Thank you for your interest.--Nuitetjour (talk) 11:45, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

If there's no reference for the exact year, then let's please at least write in the formal tone of an encyclopedia, rather than copy the splashy language of a magazine over verbatim. The article also only mentions three cities where he operated. How about: "He has owned and managed more than 40 such businesses since the 1940s, in cities including Portland, Miami and New York."? Ruby Murray 12:03, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

My error -- I meant the '50s, not the '40s. The referenced article was published in 2006 and is slightly inaccurate in stating it as the 5th decade. It should read the 6th decade. Today -- 2013 -- means that it now should be the 7th decade. I do not appreciate being counseled on how to write in the tone of an encyclopedia as I have been a contributor here longer than you. You would do best to take care that the quality of your own contributions is above reproach before seeking to upbraid others on the quality of theirs. Take that as the constructive criticism it was meant as. --Nuitetjour (talk) 12:23, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

How long we've both been editing is really not to do with it: the point is to make sure articles stick to Wikipedia's policy, which has been around here longer than either of us. Please help me to improve the article. Thanks, Ruby Murray 12:31, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Among those policies of which you speak is that which encapsulates Wikipedia's goal to showcase "valid information" over "misinformation." I have no objection to you editing my pages; however, you have already supplied erroneous information to two of my created pages. I doubt you thoroughly read each article before making substantial edits to them.

Re: SunPost, the text box at top of page clearly shows the front page of a 2012 issue. Further, the link below it to the paper's website clearly proves the paper is not defunct. How you could then hastily and misleadingly proceed to declare the paper died in 2009 is puzzling.

Re: Griffith, you originally misnumbered his theaters at 30, before correcting to 40. You also limited the cities to 3 when the body of the article clearly lists many more cities than that. You don't seem to have read the rest of the article, nor read in totality the cited reference which you added to your edit and which has been cited throughout the article. Had you done so, you would see that you had essential information wrong, mistakes I had to correct.

As you have noted, I have edited some of your well-written articles, too. But far from changing substantive material about the subjects themselves (about which you are more of an expert than I), I have merely made stylistic and punctuational edits. I would never attempt to change material in any article on which I am not an expert or can offer little or no illumination. And I certainly would not dare do so if one of my edits might be less than accurate or based on a lack of thorough research. I am disappointed that you don't seem to practice that philosophy in your own edits to the pages of others on this site.

I have noted that you have also made edits to others' pages that seem inordinately excessive and "stalkish," if I may say so, as if you may have an axe to grind. There is a temptation to advise you to "get a life." In my edits on this site these last 2 years, I have taken great care to illuminate and elucidate where I can, but to respect others' created pages and not pretend to be more of an expert on their subjects than they are. I genuinely wish that was a philosophy more contributors would subscribe to.Nuitetjour (talk) 08:16, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for coming back here to talk this through. I do appreciate it. I'll try to address your main points one by one:

• there are no "my articles" and "your articles" on Wikipedia: see Wikipedia:Ownership of articles for more information on this.
• On Wikipedia, valid information has to be verified. Relying on our claimed first-hand expertise isn't enough, it has to be verifiable from reliable sources. Please see Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research for more information.
• We're both made errors on pages we've edited together: as you noted above on Leroy Griffith, "My error -- I meant the '50s, not the '40s". And I corrected my typo of "30" versus "40" less than one minute after I made it. Not a problem: "many eyes fix all bugs" as they say, but this time I fixed my own immediately. That's not "misinformation".
• Yes, the text box at the top of page clearly shows the front page of a 2012 issue, but we have no way of knowing whether that's a print issue or the digital edition that is currently all that's offered for subscription on the paper's own "print edition" page.
• Do please "dare" to change material that I've edited, if something genuinely needs citation. I see you've added citation tags to a couple of edits I made: that's fine, and I've added the missing citation before removing the {citation needed} tag. If you had found references to show something substantive about an article that I'd overlooked, then you'd be right to change the content too, citing the references to support what you were adding.

I hope that clears a few things up. Thanks again, Ruby Murray 08:56, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

One last thing: you've really got to stop removing maintenance templates like {citation needed} from unsourced statements, and reverting my edits repeatedly, even if you're absolutely sure that you're right. As I noted on your talk page, the admins take a very dim view of edit-warring, and will block you if you continue. I don't want that to happen, and I want to help you source the article properly to improve it. Please, help me to help you. Ruby Murray 09:03, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

—When I referred to "my" and "your" articles, I was referring to the ones we each created.

—As for the citation you request for the paper's coverage area, it is listed in the print version masthead, but I cannot find it on the digital. When I stated in an edit summary that "newspaper coverage areas do not require citations," that is because I deferred to (as I always do when in doubt) other newspaper entries for the Wiki standard for newspapers. I list these as but a few examples (from both small-town and big-city papers) to substantiate my claim that a citation is not required: Philadelphia Inquirer, Florida Keys Keynoter, Washington Post, The Garden Island, San Francisco Examiner, Rock Island Argus, OC Weekly, The Holland Sentinel. I understand your point of view, but I must defer to Wiki standards on page elements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nuitetjour (talk • contribs) 10:21, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Policy has to be our guide rather than other articles for this sort of thing, as there are huge numbers of badly-referenced articles on Wikipedia. Florida Keys Keynoter, for example, is quite poorly referenced. All of the others you mention above, apart from Rock Island Argus, have references for their circulation numbers in the infobox. I haven't checked yet if those references are current, so if they're outdated then that should be noted on those articles too. Unlike the other articles, however, Miami SunPost does contain references showing it ceased print in 2009, and there's nothing on its website noting that it's back in print, so we need to find a reference that it is. If you know anyone at the paper, then perhaps you could ask them to put something on the website about that. Otherwise, if you have a paper copy, then it can be scanned and uploaded to some free photo archive (Flickr, Facebook, etc.) and used as a reference. Ruby Murray 10:47, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Miami SunPost

The paper is NOT defunct and I don't know where you see any reference that so states. The paper is still published, I am holding a copy of last week's issue in my hands. If you persist in hacking that page with further inaccurate and false edits, I will report your activities to Wiki administrators.--Nuitetjour (talk) 12:40, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

If the paper is still in print, that's great: all we need is to add a reference showing what happened after 2009, but in 2009 it ceased printing for some time, as shown in the references cited. I'm not "hacking", and I've added nothing that's not referenced from reliable sources. Please let's settle this by talking it through. Thanks, Ruby Murray 12:44, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Articles needing link rot cleanup

Hooray! We blew through December 2011! Should I start on Category:Articles needing link rot cleanup from January 2012 from the bottom of the list so we don't have colliding edits? Kjtobo (talk) 18:13, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, hooray! But editor Derek R. Bullamore also did a lot of these: just going through his edits is a real education in reference cleanup. I wonder if there's some way we could coordinate informally as an ad-hoc team? Ruby Murray 20:14, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello from TayLass

Hello Ruby Murray,

I see you have been making edits to the Brian Souter page, just thought I'd introduce myself and say hello. I am the daughter of a friend of the Souter family, I help with Mr Souter's website and have been asked update the Wikipedia Bio Page to more accurately reflect his life. I accept your edits of my updates, and will try to keep the tone neutral going forward.

Question from TwentyThree Skiddoo

Hello Ruby Murray,

I see that you have reverted the text of Bahá'í Faith and Native Americans. Thank you. I am new to editing in Wikipedia. How do I go about asking that a text be modified based upon reasoned argument? For example, the reasons for altering that section are, IMO, valid; however, I am willing to defend them to other editors if I have a venue to do so. Should I go into the section and simply delete everything that is untrue or misleading (little will be left)? If I do that, how do I indicate to other editors my rationale? Thank you. TwentyThreeSkiddoo (talk) 11:27, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello TwentyThree Skiddoo. Wikipedia isn't a forum for reasoned argument and critique of what someone's written, as that's considered original research. But we can include what someone else notable has said about what that person's written, or in contradition of it, if that addition is backed up by reliable sources. You might find Wikipedia:No original research useful to learn more about this. If something isn't supported by reliable sources, then we should first try to find sources to support it, and if they can be found, then we should delete it. However, if it's going to be a contentious deletion then we should first try to get consensus for the deletion at the article's talk page. Please let me know if you have any more questions about this. Ruby Murray 11:33, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks mate.

Maya Plisetskaya

Actually I have never used the talk pages so I am nor very confident about it.. but I will try... The problem is that I edited the article about Maya Plisetskaya according to her biography which she wrote by herself and I am sure about the information that I've corrected. For example, she has never been a member of the Anti-Zionist Committee of the Soviet Public - never! And the words about Robert Kennedy and Maya Plisetskay can't be anything than a slander, I really have no idea where this author Katherine Eaton took this information, I am sure that Maya Plisetskaya herself would be offended if she read this. And so on, and so on. I would like to ask you not to delete my corrections on this page. Thank you very much. Entelian —Preceding undated comment added 16:18, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

It's not enough for us to be "sure" about something on Wikipedia: we need references to verify what's written, so please get consensus on the article's talk page before removing referenced information from an article. Thanks, Ruby Murray 16:26, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, but how can I get consensus on the article's talk page? Should I just wrote the same there? I can give the reference to the book, but the book is in Russian so I am quite sure that almost nobody there can understand me :) I would be infinitely grateful if you can explain me what should I do in this situation. Entelian

Please go ahead and list the citations you have on the talk page in a new section. Russian language citations will be fine. But it's difficult to prove a negative: if I understand you correctly, you're disputing some assertions because they weren't made in her autobiography? Ruby Murray 16:43, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Because they weren't made in her autobiography and other books about her which were written by Russian authors. I understand that it's disputable but for me it's quite logical to believe more the ballerina herself than some unknown authors from other countries, do you agree? Entelian —Preceding undated comment added 16:52, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

No, on Wikipedia secondary, independent sources are given more weight than primary sources like an autobiography. You can read more about this at Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources. Ruby Murray 17:00, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

From Ravishyam Bangalore

Thanks for your help on Aadhaar article. Being a new writer I am learning from you how to keep article neutral and away from confrontations.

Thanks once again.

Ravishyam Bangalore (talk) 19:32, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

You're very welcome! Thanks for making such an excellent start on Aadhaar. Ruby Murray 19:36, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello Ruby Murray,

I need help on making Table of Aadhaar Generated (state-wise) under para Status of enrollment and generation of Aadhaar page. The data source is from UIDAI url: [3]. The row #2 should be sortable and data should be INDIA. Percentage should be automatically calculated in the last column as per formula. Please help.

Ravishyam Bangalore (talk) 11:09, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Ravishyam Bangalore thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia but the source your using can't be cited as a reference because its a WP:PRIMARY source. As for the table see Help:Table there you'll get the how-tos regarding a table. If you need any help you can contact me also on my talk page and I too like you come from India. Sohambanerjee1998 11:22, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Read the links I gave you above. Sohambanerjee1998 11:23, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Certainly secondary sources are given more weight than primary sources, but primary sources aren't banned altogether. Ravishyam, what change do you want to make to the table? Perhaps you can create one in your user sandbox, and then copy it over when it's finished. Ruby Murray 11:57, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

I am glad to know of your India roots, hence you can understand the spirit & context of the writing easily. Well, I found a secondary source on excel-data verifiable with primary data (UIDAI). After learning of wiki tables, I will upload that. If required, I will seek your help.

Thanks, Ravishyam Bangalore (talk) 10:03, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

On obstacles para, I wrote of Bureaucracy and just saved. Then I wanted to add Citations, but I could not do because it was 'undone' by you, and I could not get even 5 minutes to add Citations. What shall I do? Or the issue is contentious enough to better avoid it despite enough citations? Please suggest. Ravishyam Bangalore (talk) 10:03, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

My apologies for editing so soon after you made that edit. But even with references, that whole section was written in the highly promotional, cheerleading tone that I and other editors have had to remove continually from that article. If you're going to write about how Aadhaar is reducing bureaucracy, please use very specific examples, rather than grand, sweeping statements, and please write about the examples from a neutral point of view. Thanks. Ruby Murray 10:07, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Ravishyam Bangalore the link to your sandbox is this - Special:MyPage/Sandbox. The changes you make there will not be reverted by any user irrespective of what you add there other than few exceptions like Personal attacks, etc. After you complete editing the table there along with using appropriate citations contact me and I'll look over it and will ensure that it does not get reverted. As for primary source be extremely cautious and write in a Neutral tone without any bias. As for citation you should add them right away in the same edit where your adding content otherwise editors might undo it citing WP:UNSOURCED or WP:OR. You can use WP:PROVEit GT for this purpose which is used by me also.

For references go to this page Wikipedia:Citing sources. Sohambanerjee1998 10:48, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the tips of info. I have made the table. The data is fine but it is not sortable. I want the second row 'INDIA' to be grey and sort buttons in this row, with Rank column changing logically. Please do it or let me know. Thanks. Ravishyam Bangalore (talk) 14:10, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Nice work with the table I will convert it into sortable but I could not understand what you meant by Rank column changing logically is it a MS Excel term? If not that what? and did you submit it in Articles for Creation? If yes then I am sorry to say that it has too less content to be qualified logically though it might be a stub but in regard to a stand-alone article it does not have enough resources to be one. Its better off with the parent article, Aadhar. Sohambanerjee1998 14:56, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Ravishyam Bangalore don't make any further edits on the article and stop editing because you might be Sockpuppeting, Edit Warring etc. Sohambanerjee1998 15:13, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Well, I am re-phrasing. I converted from my excel-sheet to wiki table format by the app given in Help:Table page as per your suggestion. Then I pasted the source code on Aadhaar page. Although I had provided filter buttons on 'INDIA' row for right 4 clolums (i.e. xecept Serial) yet the filter-code did not appear in the converted source code. Therefore, I need filter on these 4 columns.

Similar table existed till 22-Oct-2013 on the UIDAI page till it got removed by someone. I was frequesnt visitor to that table. This table used to be updated on monthly / weekly basis by user BHUTES (not sure whether editor from your team or an independent writer). I had put a request to BHUTES about 10 days ago to construct a similar table here but I received no response yet. Therefore I request you to put filter functionality.

Just to explain the redirect, it was established years ago that none of the current promotions are notable and some had been removed via AfD for this reason. This is the present consensus, an the redirect of both the main page and the talk page is therefore consistent with WP rules. If they want to change that they should be going to the redirect target's talk page and arguing to change the consensus there. I will argue that simply putting non notable promotions on a page willy nilly is advertising and against WP rules. Notable defunct promotions number three off the top of my head which is not enough to maintain a seperate page. 121.214.29.71 (talk) 21:03, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

That makes sense. Thanks for letting me know. Ruby Murray 21:26, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined - Xorenism

I have declined your speedy deletion, because the new WP:CSD#A11 requires that the article "plainly indicates that the subject was invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally", and I do not see evidence of that. (I would have accepted it, for instance, if the creator's username had been "Xoren"). I have PRODded it instead. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:17, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

You're right, it's not quite plain enough. Thanks for the PROD. Ruby Murray 18:42, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

Republican Primaries

Umm no I left an explanation when I edited the Republican Primaries but my browser like gave out after I hit submit but I thought it didn't make it through. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KidGwakebake (talk • contribs) 21:04, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Unapologetic/R&B

OK, I'll meet you half way and ask you how do I go forward to get R&B confirmed? 86.142.54.250 (talk) 12:44, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Are you User:H.Mandem? Your edits are identical to those of that editor. Ruby Murray 12:46, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

No, I saw last year it originally had R&B as a genre and several websites say it is R&B so why's it not on here as R&B? 86.142.54.250 (talk) 12:51, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Propose it at the talk page, and if the consensus there is that references from reliable sources support your proposed change to the genre, then it can be changed. Ruby Murray 12:52, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

I've reviewed it, I'm happy with it, I've re-added it, I've placed it in the middle of EDM and dubstep. D to the ina, R to the ae☻ ^{'My Talk Page} 17:23, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:ALBUM/SOURCE#Sources_to_avoid. Please don't re-add contentious changes until there's consensus at the talk page. Now other editors are going to jump right back in and revert the re-addition. Ruby Murray 20:56, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Loud (Rihanna album)

Hiya, I've read and checked on the talkpage of Loud they seem reasonable and reliable so I've included them, just thought I'd let you know as I've seen you've edited it recently, have a nice day D to the ina, R to the ae☻ ^{'My Talk Page} 19:52, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for copying me, but please see my reply above about sources to avoid, and about consensus. Ruby Murray 20:56, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Unapologetic/Singles

Loveeeeeee Song was not released as an official single, Please remove this information from wikipedia.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeardley (talk • contribs)

The references all show that it was: why do you think they're wrong? Ruby Murray 21:39, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Love?

I never added R&B, I just flat listed them into an order, D to the ina, R to the ae☻ ^{'My Talk Page} 14:46, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

You're right - sorry about that. I've removed the incorrect warning from your talk page. By the way, your signature is broken: there's an extra space between the first "." and the first "D". Ruby Murray 15:04, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

What you mean, having a #blondemoment today HA! D to the ina, R to the ae☻ ^{'My Talk Page} 15:07, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Anna Maria Fish Co.

Hi. Would you consider taking this subject to AfD? Notability is based on substantial coverage in reliable independent sources and there are article about this subject based upon which the article was written. Thank you for your consideration. Candleabracadabra (talk) 02:57, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

You've been making a lot of short articles: may I recommend that you re-create this one in your user sandbox, and then create an article out of the result when it's ready? Ruby Murray 02:59, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

If you'll be kind enough to move it into my userspace I will be happy to take a look at it and see to expanding it. However, there is no requirement that articles be long. Many good articles start out short. It's unfortunate that short articles that are well constructed are discriminated against in favor of bulked up shoddiness. Candleabracadabra (talk) 03:06, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

The problem wasn't that the article was short, but that it didn't say why it was notable: there are countless companies in America, and they're not all notable. And several of your articles have not been well-constructed: I've been cleaning up several you started with broken references, missing categories, etc. Please slow down, and create fewer, better articles, rather than lots of small broken ones. I'm not an administrator, so I can't undelete it for you. The deleting administrator was Bbb23: you could ask at User talk:Bbb23 for it to be undeleted to your sandbox. Ruby Murray 03:09, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

It is notable because it has received very substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. It should never have been speedily deleted and it should be restored as soon as practicable. See for example New York Times coverage. Candleabracadabra (talk) 05:08, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good. Be sure to add those to your draft. But your felllow editors aren't mind readers: the article was a few days old, and all it said was that it was a fish supplier, and that it was founded by a governor's son, and the only reference you added was a vague mention of a Florida lifestyle magazine, with no link. If you don't want your articles to get deleted, then be sure to say why their subject is notable, rather than flying off to create more stub articles with an "under construction" tag at the top. I notice you haven't asked BB23 at his talk page yet to undelete the article: you've only posted at your own talk page. If you want it to be undeleted, then you need to ask an admin. If you want me to ask for you, I will. Ruby Murray 11:28, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

• Given the extent of coverage the business has received, maybe it is you who needs to slow down? It is particularly unhelpful to speedy delete articles created by experienced good faith contributors. Next time you have a concern I suggest you simply drop a note on the appropraite editor's talk page. You might also want to see wp:before and think about how common courtesy might improve the editing environment at Wikipedia. Candleabracadabra (talk) 14:02, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

WP:BEFORE and its linked pages clearly outline the rationale for speedy deletion, and as I've said I didn't delete the article, I nominated it for deletion. Another admin has weighed in at BB23's talk page, and after viewing what was deleted has clearly come to the same conclusion as I did. It's simply unrealistic for you, regardless of your level of experience and contribution, to expect a tiny article about a company with no assertion of notability to be left in place for days, while you move on to creating new ones. Good luck with the new, improved article. Ruby Murray 14:14, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

From WP:BEFORE:

"B. Carry out these checks

1.Confirm that the article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, proposed deletion or speedy keep.

(Redacted) (huge copy & paste of guidelines and templates redacted by Ruby Murray)

For a more complete list see WP:CTT." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Candleabracadabra (talk • contribs)

That's right: step 1, confirm that the article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion. It did. Ruby Murray 16:01, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks

For letting me know. A persistent puppetmaster. Dougweller (talk) 06:23, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Errr...

Who the fuck died and put you in charge on Wikipedia, it's been sourced, it's reliable I don't see your name on the page, unless are you really Rihanna? I don't think so! MariaHickment13 (talk) 17:57, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Please get consensus at the talk page before changing the genres again. Thank you. Ruby Murray 18:00, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Like what I said, kindly MIND your OWN fucking BUSINESS, you want a war I'll give you a fucking war OK?!

you did a mistake

on the golden dawn political party you re inserted "euroscepticism" without reading my edit summary of "euroscepticism is not an "ideology" its just criticism, read the article on euroscepticism", please revert your edit or "Fix broken reference name" without including the term 83.180.167.146 (talk) 18:01, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

I did read your edit-summary, and then reverted your breakage of the reference. I've now moved both from the infobox to the body of the article. Ruby Murray 18:12, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

thank you for your correction but is including "euroscepticism" really nessesary? can you please revome it from the article altogether 83.180.167.146 (talk) 18:20, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

But their euro-scepticism is supported by references, e.g. the Guardian reference at 149. Why do you want to remove it? Ruby Murray 18:26, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
