Feedback from Hongcheng Guo

Hi, the file Stratigraphy of Yinggehai Basin was deleted, but actually I have got the approval from the original author to let me use it on wikipedia. I can provide the email screenshoot if you need. The file should be used in the wiki page that is my assignment of a class, so I appreciate your quick response. Thank you! Hongcheng Guo (talk) 20:44, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

When I uploaded it first time, I didn't let you know that I got the author's permission, so that it is understandable that you delete the file. Thus I did it second time. I am not sure if the screenshot of an email is a weird idea, but this is not the purpose, actually a way. I can forward the email if you would like. Anyway, please tell me what I should do to make sure that I can upload that file. Hongcheng Guo (talk) 05:31, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Consider unsalting Risa Vetri Ferman

Hey I was looking through the pending drafts and I came across Draft:Risa Vetri Ferman, waiting to be accepted but the page is create protected. If you would please take a look at the draft as I think it will easily pass the A7 criteria. Thanks! EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 00:50, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Finished reviewing. — —CraigyDavi (T∙C∙@) 19:30, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

I believe if I'm not mistaken that is why he hadn't technically closed it, he was waiting for unprotection as the software won't let us accept a create-protected article. — EoRdE6(Come Talk to Me!) 19:46, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

  • I think you are mistaken - I cannot see how the software can possibly prevent you accepting a create-protected article. Obviously it prevents you moving it to mainspace but that is different. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:30, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Saiyed Anwer Abbas

The following page was deleted by you in spite of having enough references on the subject - saiyed anwer abbas. Saiyed Anwer Abbas is rather a well known historian in Lucknow (capital of India's largest state UP) - a city well known for its culture around the globe. His work has served as reference for many subsequent works. A Wikipedia page for him will certainly benefit the researchers around the world interested in the Awadhi heritage and wanting to reach a renowned authority on the same. — inam 08:37, 23 February 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inamabidi (talk • contribs)

File:Rue Serpollet, 26.jpg

I'm certain File:Rue Serpollet, 26.jpg is not actually a copyvio but that http://www.madamasr.com/sites/default/files/photos/news/Charlie%20Hebdo.jpg was taken from Wikipedia. Sometimes you have to watch out for whether the "other" site got it later. Let me take a look.... WhisperToMe (talk) 20:57, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

The "modified" date of http://www.madamasr.com/sites/default/files/photos/news/Charlie%20Hebdo.jpg is "Wednesday, January 07, 2015 8:58:05 AM" and I don't think it appeared at that URL before that date. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:59, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm not a Commons administrator but "Commons" was originally uploaded to the Commons but was deleted in Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Rue Serpollet, 26.jpg - I'm certain the upload date of that file was several years ago. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:00, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

I took a look at the news articles. http://www.madamasr.com/news/al-azhar-calls-muslims-%E2%80%9Cignore%E2%80%9D-new-charlie-hebdo-edition credits the "Wikimedia Commons" as does http://www.madamasr.com/news/egypt-condemns-attack-french-satirical-magazine (dated to January 7) - The same picture is seen from this view too: http://www.madamasr.com/tags/charlie-hebdo - I'm certain Madamasr got it from Wikimedia and not the other way around WhisperToMe (talk) 21:06, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Okay, found this: http://www.madamasr.com/file/charlie-hebdo-officeparisjpg - I think the file should be restored. WhisperToMe (talk) 21:37, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

2015 New England Revolution season

Hey, so I was attempting to create a page for the new Revolution season, but I noticed that you had, fairly recently, Speedied it. I don't want to step on any toes, so I'm going to create it in the Draft:space first, but I wanted to know what, if any, pitfalls to avoid so knowing why you Speedied it would be nice. I saw it was an A3, so I assume there was little to know information, but with the club already playing preseason games, the schedule being announced, transfers in and out, I doubt this will be a problem. If you want to check out Draft:2015 New England Revolution season, you'll see the direction I'm taking. I'm sure the new page will pass A3, I just want to check with you, the deleting admin, before publishing. Achowat (talk) 03:03, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

I want to reinstate a page you deleted

Hi, You deleted page Crispian Winsor for reason A7. I thought the page was still under construction and did not realise it was a live page from the minute you start typing - it's very strange, on most websites you create pages offline then publish them once the final version is completed. You must have deleted it mere hours after I started work on it. Can you please make the aforementioned page available again so I can continue writing it and prove that the person is eligible to have a Wikipedia page.

Redirect: help needed

Dear RHaworth, there are two outstanding redirect issues where I request you attention. Please see Issue 1) This and Issue 2) This. 2nd issue is also being discussed here as well. In the first issue, I faced a similar problem earlier when I created article Rucha Gujarathi and redirected the (already) existing page to the new page. You will notice that the redirect was restored and page was renamed and then I continued editing it (to preserve page history). In the second issue, an editor blanked the article and redirected it to another page without any discussion and refuses to cite any rule now. May I request your attention please? Many thanks. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 16:11, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

I have actually cited several relevant guidelines in the discussion at my User Talk page, including WP:N, WP:PROMOTION and WP:PSEUDO. I do not see it as necessary to quote specific parts of the relevant guidelines where it is clear the principles are being violated. An editor responding to a third opinion request raised by AKS.9955 agrees that I acted properly. It is also interesting that AKS.9955 has contacted an admin about this issue without advising me. I have no involvement in AKS.9955's unrelated dispute with Redtigerxyz.--Jeffro77 (talk) 03:04, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

RHaworth, I requested for your opinion and would request now too. Jeffro77, you never quoted any specific policy anywhere and have been lying all this while. Why is it not necessary to quote specific policies and what principles were violated? You cant be opaque in your approach, especially when the matters are under dispute. As far as the other case is concerned, you must first understand what that case was all about. It was not about validity of the article but the name spelling. Don't confuse both issues as you have done in this cases. Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 05:09, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

You are continuing to misrepresent the situation. I have already clearly explained why the content of the articles was not notable, and that links to the articles, and the articles themself were promotional. Your claim about "name spelling" is unclear, but is in any case false, because no spelling was ever disputed.--Jeffro77 (talk) 05:14, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Jerusalem Biennale

Please revisit this page. I have added sources. Moreover, I think that it is possible that you missed the significance of an arts festival as an event. Probably because this festival is new, and "firs annual" is an intrinsically tenuous claim. However, the significance is validated by the fact that the 2015 festival is now accepting submissions, and the Foundation of the Venice Biennale has officially recognized this new festival. Although the article needs improvement, I do not think that after a second look you will still wish it to be deleted form WikipediaE.M.Gregory (talk) 17:16, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Swedish Doctors for Human Rights

Sir, I begin by excusing myself for my English (I am a Swede); the text below has not been proofread. Yesterday 24 February you prompt deleted the new created page SWDHR, while the contesting editing was still ongoing.

Extended content
The following tag appeared suddenly on my screen while I was doing the contesting editing (the contesting was suggested by Wikipedia): “Warning: An administrator deleted this page since you started editing it. Please check the deletion log to see the reasoning.” I have saved a screenshot of the actual event, in case you’d like me to send it to you per email, for further checking.

I understood that Wikipedia warns its administrators that, prior to executing a prompt deleting of an article, they should check the talk page in order to review eventual contesting arguments. I might be wrong, but viewing on the screenshot the logged time of your deleting (18.33), this would not have been the case. Neither my contesting-argumentation was referred in the delete process. Nevertheless, the central issue, why I am writing to you now, is the following:

As I did put forward in the aforementioned contesting argument, I understood, and agreed with, your observation on that the article missed to explicit the importance of the organization (the notability criteria) to the reader. I understand that such observation would not be the same that stating, apriori non-reviewed facts, that the organization has no encyclopedia-relevance at all. For this is not the case. The fault is on me, for I missed mentioning in the brief article why are SWDHR’s undertakings considered notable in the international human rights endeavour.

Hence, the fault does not reside in “lack of relevance” of a known organization which have instead distinguished itself as the only Human Rights outlet from Sweden undertaking scientific research on the effects of torture on political prisoners correlated with suicidal behaviour (findings internationally regarded as “pioneer research” and published in known medical journals such Journal of Traumatic Stress). Even the notable whistleblowing organization WikiLeaks has directly referred to SWDHR’s exposures on renditions in Sweden. Secondly, this organization is notable for being the only Swedish HR-organization that have taken up the defense of individuals and organizations prosecuted by governments precisely for exposing war-crimes committed against civilian population, or serious HR infringements on civil liberties. The nomination of Edward Snowden upon the Nobel committee done by university professors at SWDHR is one example of the last mentioned.

In merit of the above, I hereby I ask you to kindly review your decision and repost the article. This will give an opportunity to edit it anew, against the backdrop of the criticism raised, and specifically referred to rule A-7. May I recall that no other issue (such as lack or insufficient sourcing, references, non-verifiability, etc.) has been risen regarding my article proposal.

I am confident that the new version will meet the WikiLeaks requirements. However, in the case that after the re-editing you would still consider that requirements are not satisfactorily met (in the new text and corresponding references), I would like to ask for an extended discussion before to execute a new deleting.

Sincerely, Hrdap Hrdap (talk) 13:37, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Duplicate

The two articles Potuluri Veerabrahmendra Swami and Pothuluri Veerabrahmam are same articles. One of them needs to be merged. Can you please check. The article's correct name is Potuluri Veerabrahmendra Swami. But the later on has more stuff I guess. -- Vin09 (talk) 18:28, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

  • Remarkable that such a blatant fork has survived for five years. Wikipedia does not put honorifics in article titles therefore the title without "swami" is far better. Merging the edit histories would just cause confusion so I have not done it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:35, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

  • I have a certain sympathy for you: a brewery such as Dragonmead survives because it produces a product to which everyone can relate. Your company produces a product that most people have never even heard of - I had to look up pallet collar myself. So the person with no COI who eventually decides to write about your company is going to have an uphill struggle to establish notability. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:35, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

First of all I wanna thank you, it is really nice. Can you please specify for me, what should I change or do, to put info about company. I am not a worker of this company, just a friend.

Draft:George Clarke (footballer, born 1900)

Hello, Thanks for helping to sort out the muddle with George Clarke pages. I put a help request on my talk-page also. The problem seemed to arise when I tried to move the draft page to '(footballer, born 1901)' as the DoB was incorrect. That page now seems not to exist or automatically re-directs to the 1900 page if I click on it from my contributions. If I move the 1900 page again to 1901, is this going to be a problem? Or would it be best to complete the draft..move it to main-space and then move it to the correct DoB thereafter? Thanks. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 12:33, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Update. I note the 1901 page is now deleted. Citing implausibility. However 1901 is the correct date of birth according to my (reliable) sources and is the one I wanted to retain. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 13:35, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

OK I see now where the problem arose; I somehow moved the same original article twice, when I wanted to move the draft 1900 to 1901. My bad. Thanks for help. Eagleash (talk) 15:33, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi RHaworth. In order to qualify for F1 speedy deletion, both files have to be the same format (both jpg or both png, for example). File:5SOS She Looks So Perfect.jpg and several other recent images should not have been tagged / deleted as F1, as the replacement file is not the same format. It should have been tagged as F5.

Waterway Cycle

To: RHaworth: Re Wiki article Water Cycle - new definition as "Waterway Cycle". As a low key Wiki editor/contributor - I have a degree of empathy for other Wiki editors - however, I feel some Wiki editors are capable of egregious errors. In my opinion, and with my long history with Wikipedia, I feel your speedy deletion of my Wikipedia page without notification and/or discussion - was done improperly and without any opportunity for discussion.

Extended content
I have been reading comments from authors of other Wiki pages you have summarily deleted without discussion and/or notification.

I read that there is mounting evidence relative to your arbitrary deletions, and that other Wiki authors/users intend to take appropriate action(s) against you as a Wiki editor. Indeed, Wikipedia's process for requesting undeletion reads as follows:

"In the case of pages deleted as a result of summary decisions and not following community discussions, undeletion may be requested at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. It serves two primary functions: the restoration of content deleted without discussion, and the userfication of content that is unfit for restoration."

When you summarily deleted my article - you did so without any community discussion and/or contact with me as the Wiki author/editor. Certainly, according to Wikipedia policy - my article qualifies for undeletion due to your single-handed deletion of my article without discussion and/or notification.

For your information, I am an award-winning, internationally recognized as a water author/expert (under my former name, William E. Marks). I am the former owner/director (14 years) of a state-certified water laboratory located on the island of Martha's Vineyard; was founder of an environmental research institute that received water research grants from the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the American Water Works Association (AWWA), I have also worked with water scientists at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) and have interviewed many scientists at NASA. My articles and writings have been published by National Geographic Books ("Written in Water, Messages of Hope for Earth's Most Precious Resource"); John Wiley & Sons' (five articles) "Water Encyclopedia"; Steiner Books published my book, "The Holy Order of Water, Healing Earth's Waters and Ourselves"; I also served as editor/publisher of the United Nations' book, "Water Voices from Around The World", and published by many others. I have been interviewed on local, regional, national, and international radio programs reaching millions of listeners. I have also been featured on many television talk shows and news programs as a water expert.

My writings and presentations about the new definition for Earth's waterway cycle as the "waterway cycle" have been featured on two international simulcasts (International Symposium of Aqua Science and Water Resources broadcast "live" in 2011 and 2014 to over thirteen countries. This new definition is also published as a Kindle book on Amazon under the title of: "Waterway Cycle: New Discoveries About Earth's Water." A five-page abstract of the "Waterway Cycle" was published last month in the international water book "Water Views: Caring and Daring", published in Australia. This Australian book contains my "Waterway Cycle" abstract along with 124 other articles from water scientists and researchers around the globe.

I would like to move forward with the process of "undeleting" my Wikipage entitled: "Water Cycle, New Definition as 'Waterway Cycle', as soon as possible. Williamwaterway (talk) 04:06, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

  • The page was deleted because you placed the following unambiguous message on the page: "Please delete this article immediately. Thank you, Williamwaterway (talk) 12:23, 26 March 2012 (UTC)". Even if you had not made the request the AfD discussion would undoubtedly have closed as "delete - blatant original research". For the future kindly have the decency to wait until your theory has been fully peer reviewed and widely discussed. And only then will someone who: a) knows what a sensible article title should be and knows how to link to it, b) does not need to use that weasel phrase "award-winning" and c) has no COI, come here and write it up. Incidentally for publishing elsewhere I suggest you find a different title - "waterway" usually means canal or navigable river. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:08, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Family tree of Jahaniyan Jahangasht

Hi RHaworth, I noticed you deleted and then restored Family tree of Jahaniyan Jahangasht which I speedy tagged. I believe you were correct in deleting the article as it is entirely based on self-published sources (now all of them dead links) and OR. A nearly-identical article, Family tree of Jahania, was XfD'ed two years ago with the result delete (WP:Articles for deletion/Family tree of Jahania), so this one falls under CSD#G4 - recreation of a XfD'ed article.

RHaworth, I resubmitted my article and it was deleted because of unambiguous copyright infringement of http://aalbc.com/authors/kimberla.htm This is a page dedicated to the author that I believed would give another reliable source to the article. When I asked the previous reviewer how many additional footnotes were needed, they state there is no correct amount, but that it appeared I had improved the quality of the links. Thus, I resubmitted and got your response. I'm not even sure now how to go back and look at the draft, since it's been deleted? Do I need to start entirely over, can't I access my last version?

  • Text emailed. Whence have you got this weird idea that the link is the copyvio? The copyvio is the text in your article which is too close to the linked-to page.

Category:Libertarian socialist parties

Hello RHaworth. I noticed you speedy-deleted the above-noted category under CSD A3. However, that speedy deletion criterion is used only for articles, not categories. Despite the deletion of the category page, the category is still populated. Is it possible that you deleted this page in error, or perhaps that you deleted it for some other (correct) reason? — Psychonaut (talk) 14:15, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi all, apologies, that was my fault for submitting it there. it is basically empty still, most of the parties are inactive and a few may not even belong. Darkstar1st (talk) 14:59, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Empty categories can be deleted under CSD C1, but only if they have been empty for at least four days. In this case, you deleted the category only a couple hours after User:Darkstar1st mass-depopulated it and tagged it for deletion. The four-day waiting period is important to observe because it gives others a chance to notice and contest the depopulation (as indeed was the case here—most or all of Darkstar1st's edits were reverted within a couple days). It would be great if you would be more careful processing speedy deletions in the future. —Psychonaut (talk) 15:25, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

SD0001

This is not the first time that RHaworth has shown undue haste in reviewing CSD nominations and engaged in erratic page deletions. I recognise the fact that you are one of the most prominent deleters here; your log shows that you deleted over 500 pages between 1 March and 4 March. Nevertheless, you have made some very poor decisions many times. Some time ago, you deleted Springfield School & College with one of the criteria being A7, despite the fact that CSD A7 is explicitly not meant to be used for schools and educational institutions. On another occasion, I nominated User:Sherif ElKhatib for CSD with {{db-reason|of it being blatant self-promotion}} (so that the nomination notice reads correctly) and was surprised to see that you deleted it with exactly the same deletion summary: "of it being blatant self-promotion", making it non-sequitur. Such absent-mindedness is unacceptable of an administrator. On yet another occasion, I requested the restoration of deleted revisions of the page Do-ocracy. Apart from carelessly restoring the page with the summary "user:Wgolf request", you apparently even restored the copyright violating revisions. I mention these three incidents only because I was involved. There might have been many more incidents like this. And please remember that slovenliness is not a CSD criterion, whatever your wishes might be. Articles should not be deleted simply because they are poorly created, as you have seemingly done here. Of course, I cannot see the content of deleted pages, and thus cannot tell if that really was the case with that article, and possibly with many others too. I suggest that you completely and thoroughly familiarise youself with WP:CSD. Otherwise, your competence with the delete button can really be brought into question. I apologise if I have been too blunt. Thanks, SD0001 (talk) 20:36, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Oh, make it Springfield Public School & College. — SD0001 (talk) 13:30, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

  • See my reply at F1 deletions above. I do actually look at articles (in some cases for more than 10 seconds!) before I delete them but I may not even look at the speedy tag. If an article is clearly a speedy candidate I zap it and since a deletion reason is usually offered to me automatically, I usually accept it, again possibly not even reading it. In the case of Springfield neither A7 (for the reasons you state) nor A11 was valid. The real reasons were blatant spam and copyvio. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:52, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Your reply turns to be really shocking. 10 seconds? Is that enough for you to look at the page history, talk page, and the article itself? I hope you understand that a page can be deleted if and only if it meets one of the CSD criteria, else you have to PROD it. I appreciate your effort at cleaning up Wikipedia of unwanted content as fast as possible, but I do think most other admins do use the correct criterion in the deletion summary. This is especially necessary for copyvios (for obvious reasons). As such, your reply at F1 deletions is unacceptably humorous. Also, please note that school articles can never be classified as "spam", that is only for companies. As long as the existence of the school is verified, they should be stubified instead of deleted. If there was a copyvio, you need to mention G12 as well as specify the website from where content was copied. You take things too lightly. SD0001 (talk) 20:14, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

I suggest you take a look at Hyper Engagement Marketing (also WP:Articles for deletion/Hyper Engagement Marketing. As you can see, that article was putrid nonsense. So I nominated it for G1. But GB Fan actually declined the nomination because of it being at AfD. Okay, the article did not exactly meet the criteria for G1, but he did not even go ahead and delete it with the correct criterion. It was finally deleted by someone else about 5-6 hours later. That's how things work. Procedures need to be followed. SD0001 (talk) 20:23, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Roger, I would like to know why you deleted this article. I answered with some reasons that makes this company noteworthy and why should it be on an encyclopedia. They where the first to make lot of new things and applying mathematical techniques to the tailoring process, which was an innovation in this field. I just want to know how has to be a company article and if you find that this is not noteworthy to be in an encyclopedia. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Albertogmdp (talk • contribs) 08:02, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

ENNHRI

Dear RHaworth, I've tried to upload a page on the European Network of National Human Rights Institutions, but got an answer back stating that the page created contained an infringement of copyrights. Apparently, the infringement has to due with ENNHRI's strategic plan 2014-2016. Since, I have an authorization from ENNHRI to create this page I don't consider there to be any infringement conducted by using language from it. I also understand that you are the administrator, therefore I seek your advice on how to proceed from here in order to have the page uploaded as soon as possible. Please, let me know if there is anything I could do or provide you with in order to proceed with the page. Kind regards, Emilie Thage — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.78.58.207 (talk) 11:45, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Coaxen Indian Village

Good day. I am the author and owner of the tripod site for Brotherton-Weekping that you cited as a copyright infringement for the draft article on the Coaxen Indian Village. I'd like to post the Coaxen Indian Village piece asap so as to help build awareness of this site. Please let me know the best way to do so. Thank you. Richard Walling.

  • Slash your draft down to about 8192 bytes, format it so it looks like a Wikipedia article instead of a text dump, and provide decent independent evidence of notability. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:01, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Clique graph

Hi. It looks like you deleted the page I created: Clique graph (type of graph) under the rational that it was a duplicate of clique (graph theory). They are different terms and mean different things, could you please restore it?

I'd be happy to explain more, but I think that a conversation on the merits of the page should be off of the page itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbeyerl (talk • contribs) 01:23, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

  • Whaddya mean "off the page itself" - discussions should be on the talk page - providing the article exists. I deleted your page as much for being an unreferenced stub as for being a fork. Feel free to try again via AfC. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:52, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Tile

I added an image of tiles. Someone reverted my edit claiming the image shows socks even though they are clearly tiles, and many users kept reverting my edits. Can you protect this page please? — Martin Luther Parks (talk) 14:25, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Or you could stop encouraging a serial sockpuppeteer. --NeilN talk to me 14:26, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

He's wrong again, The image shows tiles, and I can't see sockpuppets in an image. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martin Luther Parks (talk • contribs) 14:29, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Snehil Sharma

Please have a look at this guy who has been misusing Wikipedia for some time now - Snehil Sharma. I come to you because you have already removed his userpage - User:Snehilsharma. — Tintin212 (talk) 17:30, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

User using Wikipedia as blog

Hi again, the user:Sukhmangal is using Wikipedia as blog or testing place. He has been doing it since 2011! On Hindi wikipedia he does the same thing since 2013; post utterly nonsense content or his new poem on his user talk or sandbox (sometimes in main-space too). We blocked his account for 3 months now when any reasoning with him failed. Just see his talk page. I tagged it for speedy deletion but maybe user talk pages can't be deleted. This abuse should be halt.--Hindust@niक्या करें? बातें! 17:10, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

@हिंदुस्थान वासी:, thanks for reporting the user to RHaworth (talk · contribs) but will you consider to revert your speedy deletion nomination of the user talk page?. Talk pages are not eligible for WP:CSD#U5. User talk pages can only be blanked and the user may be blocked for persistent abuse of talk page, thereafter. WP:CSD#U5 only applies to User pages. I will wait for RHaworth to take a look. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 20:18, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Corta Nac city

Well looks like a SP right here Corta Nac city as I noticed 2 different names created it within minutes (and both had the tag of autobiography on it!) I did put up a Sockpuppet report meanwhile! Wgolf (talk) 23:12, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Grounds for deletion

Re: user:Zul32/Grounds for Coffee: I was working on a small coffee house chain article that you removed back on March 7th. No mention (at all) was given on my talk page justifying this, and I don't understand how you have access/updatability to change my user pages at all? I thought those pages were only able to be updated by that user? I've worked for about a month trying to get that article put together, and now it's completely gone. Please help. Zul32 (talk) 16:42, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Furthermore: I compare this article I was creating with others within list of coffeehouse chains like Blue Bottle Coffee Company and Caffè Umbria which have very little as far as being notable/noteworthy, however yet those stayed, and Grounds for Coffee was marked for speedy deletion. Finally, I'm a rather casual/new contributor, so I hadn't realized that there were rules about keeping around in one's sandbox the same text for those newly published articles as spamming and I apologize and in the future attempt to try and remove the sandbox speedily! Zul32 (talk) 17:00, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

  • Please read this. User: pages are just as accessible to everyone and editable by everyone as are all the other pages here. It is purely a matter of convention that editing of a user page is usually left to the "owner" of that page. You article was deleted for lack evidence of notability outside Utah. I have restored it. To avoid another speedy deletion, I suggest you re-submit via the AfC process. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:10, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

OK thanks! Would putting one of those 'stub' tags on there help keep it from being deleted? I've found some coffee house chians Caffe Luxxe, Caffe Trieste, that are local within their particular state, so I certainly don't think that this is an exception to the norm. Zul32 (talk) 18:22, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

  • When applied outside mainspace, {{stub}} does absolutely nothing. In mainspace it places the article in category:stubs which may alert people to opportunities for improvement. But it does nothing to prevent deletion - any mainspace article must establish notability right from the start - that is why we provide draft namespaces. Also, to show that you are not a newbie, you should use a tighter stub tag right from the start - eg. {{food-stub}} in this case. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:41, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of Delta Airlines Flight 1086

You deleted this article with reason A7. I fail to understand how this criterion applied. I recognize that there is room for debate about the notability of the incident, but it seems to me that you have significantly misused the speedy deletion criterion: Nominally, the article is about a particular scheduled commercial airline flight, making it an "organized event"; however, the fact that the airplane operating the flight crashed on landing, clearly described in the article, is a more-than-sufficient "claim of notability" to exempt it from speedy deletion under this criterion.

Deletion Help

Hi, I had noticed that some time ago you had deleted a page I'd put up ' Russ Appleby'. I wondered if there was any tips you could give me to rewrite it which would make it more Wiki friendly if possible. Maybe including some tv work, international work or more photos or links to other articles relating to things.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, Russpie — Preceding unsigned comment added by Russpie (talk • contribs) 12:44, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

we can do business

You delete a lot. If you and I find articles that should be deleted, we should do it. As far as personal pages being deleted, that could make people mad unnecessarily. Wowee Zowee public (talk) 15:48, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Gray Matters Capital Foundation

I work for Gray Matters Foundation and this page was wrongly deleted. We are a non-profit, so we were not advertising. We own the website, so there is no copyright infringement.

Ceschi

Why did you delete the Ceschi page? He has plenty of coverage: Village Voice, AllMusic, Exclaim, Boston Phoenix, etc. Pretty sure these were referenced in the article too. - Forty.4 (talk) 17:23, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Forty.4, have you even bothered to read the info presented on Ceschi? Hint: it's impossible to miss and even in RED. I'm smelling a WP:COI, to be honest. The Dissident Aggressor 00:37, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
Where? Here? Or here? Where is it? You are not linking me to it. Where is the discussion around Ceschi's notability in the year 2015? All I see is a discussion that took place eight years ago. He has become a good deal more notable since then, releasing his most widely reviewed album and founding Fake Four. Non-notability is not a permanent affliction. And you have absolutely no basis for suspecting a COI, get a hold of yourself. -- Forty.4 (talk) 02:50, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Sarah Gertrude Shapiro

hi. I am new to wikipedia. I love this site and tried very hard to make sure my first article was factually correct, well sourced, and on a topic that has not been previously covered. I chose Sarah Gertrude Shapiro. She is a television show creator, musician and director of note who is referenced on several pages but does not have her own page, so it seemed appropriate to create. I had gathered 15 references and was careful to be accurate, but for some reason you deleted it. My formatting was still in progress as this is a little confusing at first. If you could please explain what was wrong with my article I will gladly fix the issues so that I can learn how to be a helpful to wikipedia, which has helped me so much. Thank you, Dinosuarus (talk) 07:50, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
