Bo's Place draft

Hello RHaworth. It appears that my draft submission on Bo's Place is missing after a review. From what I can tell, there seems to be an issue of "infringement" on LiveStrong. No infringement was intended, I was trying to reference a linked article and maybe I did it incorrectly. Also, unfortunately I'm unable to locate the draft and I don't have a copy. Is there a way to retrieve it and then correct the LiveStrong reference mistake? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LufferTracker (talk • contribs) 19:01, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Ok, I've entered my email address in 'my preferences' area. I hope you can see it (?). Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by LufferTracker (talk • contribs) 01:33, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

RHaworth, thank you for emailing me the draft, and so quickly. Most appreciated. I've revised the LiveStrong reference and I'm tightening up the text a bit more, preparing for resubmission soon. — LufferTracker

Deletion of KYLE (rapper)

I see that you deleted KYLE (rapper) multiple times, I'd like to create a page for him. He is becoming a well known rapper by featuring Lil Yachty. He his latest song peaked at No. 19 on BillBoards charts and other music charts. He will also be appearing on The Tonight's Show later this month. Contact me; Cclark0 (talk)

Images uploaded by Ultimate1220

G'day from Oz; you have just deleted a copyvio image of Iran Air's first Airbus A321, uploaded by User:Ultimate1220. I have looked at several other images uploaded by her/him and wouldn't mind betting that some if not all are copyvios as well. Every image I looked at showed a different camera in the metatdata, or no camera at all. It is time for me to go to bed (past midnight where I am), otherwise I would make further efforts to track down the origins of these images. Perhaps you have the time to look into them? Cheers YSSYguy (talk) 13:20, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Deleted Draft

Hey RHaworth, I noticed that you had deleted the draft of the Institute of Travel Management that I had submitted. It was not intended to be unambiguous or misleading, as I had used the template from similar pages, most notable the following: Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining and Institute of Groundsmanship. Especially as it was my first time uploading a page to wiki. Could you kindly send the text that I had uploaded, and notes where I should retract/amend to make it more aligned to Wikipedia's T&C. Thank you for your time, James — Preceding unsigned comment added by ITMJames (talk • contribs) 10:31, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

  • Text emailed. Where should you retract? I don't care where you retract it to as long as it is nowhere near Wikipedia. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no CoI thinks your institute is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:25, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

deletion of sandbox

Hi, you have deleted my personal sandbox page User:Happy.harii/sandbox with G11 notification. It was made for my personal reference can I get the valid reason for deletion of my sandbox page. — HARI 12:08, 1 February 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Happy.harii (talk • contribs)

(talk page stalker) I've taken a look at it, and it was an advertisement - so G11 was the right call.

Follow-up on deletion of "Fab Lab Connect"

Dear RHaworth, We spoke back and forth a few times about a month ago regarding a wikipedia draft that you had deleted Draft:Fab Lab Connect. Following up on your most recent comment (all copy & pasted below), I was wondering if you would be willing to email me the deleted text? Thank you very much!

NS1 (company) - deletion

Hi RHaworth, I believe the article that was put up most recently regarding NS1 (NSONE, Inc.) was purely objective in nature and served to describe another vendor in the list of managed DNS providers that power the Internet. Simply deleting the page because a much more subjective version was taken down nearly a year ago seems a bit hasty and I would like to contest it.

Draft:Shota Davitashvili

Could you possibly restore that page as the editor had literally only just created it in main-space and presumably intended to work on it. It was CSDed but I challenged that and move it to draft-space (and then CSDed the redirect as I forgot to tell the system not to create one). It contained an infobox (and their signature, erroneously). This is a brand new editor I am trying to help, so please help me out! Thanks — Iadmc♫talk  18:50, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

In re: Deletion of GreyCortex

Good afternoon, Would appreciate hearing more on the deletion of GreyCortex. It seems to have been deleted under G11. While wikipedia's guidance indicates it is a platform to avoid marketing and advertising, it supports and promotes factually accurate an independently verifiable information. The text edits made to the original submission were clear as to source, avoided puffery, and were factually accurate. Furthermore, Wikipedia does not completely bar "conflicts of interest (COI)" - it only strongly discourages them. Posting in the username greycortex should be sufficiently clear as to source as to meet Wikipedia COI disclosure suggestions, and arguably clearer to those unaccustomed to reading Wikipedia change logs; e.g. those most likely to be confused by COI issues. Furthermore, the text, as revised, specifically avoids marketing-heavy language - including the absence of terms commonly associated with "puffery," and does not serve to "puff up" or inflate and retains only factual information regarding the company. Finally, statements in the text revision are cited to independent sources. Independent information helps to clarify and testify to the factual accuracy of the submission. These independent sources can all be verified and significantly diminish claims of bias/COI/ and/or "marketing" in addition to those cited above. It would seem to be in Wikipedia's best interest to have factually accurate and clearly written posts, rather than those which are biased, regardless of source. After all, an unpaid and "independent" (and thus "unconflicted") fan of a product can be as, or significantly more biased - and thus inaccurate, misleading, or prone to puffery - about a product than those who might be nominally "biased" or "conflicted" under Wikipedia's rules - but who are factually accurate and avoid puffery. The text edits provided are clear as to alleged conflicts, avoid marketing language and/or puffery, and are independently verifiable; fully within the spirit of Wikipedia's goals. It does not seem to unreasonable that based on these points, the page be reinstated. Failing that, we are happy to work with you on text which is suitable to all. Thanks much, -- 195.113.243.68 (talk) 14:46, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Deleting a not-expired PROD

I nominated Awards by Wireless Monitoring Organisation (WMO) for deletion via PROD, and you deleted it four minutes later. I've restored the page, but wanted to let you know. Primefac (talk) 19:37, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

DCPP

Hey, Can you please help me identify the main reason for deleting the content about the organization under G11 and G12? Because this page draft was an information page on the organization and not a promotional page nor was the content on the page copy-righted since it was information from the website and properly referenced according to my understanding. It took me a lot of time to compile the data on this organization, so I'd really appreciate it if you can clarify your reasons further. Cheers. wikilink: Draft:Center for Communication Programs Pakistan. — Random2792 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 05:48, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

  • G11 because it was written in somewhat spammy language. G12 because the website from which you took the text carries no copyright notice so we must assume that it is "all rights reserved". Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no CoI thinks your organisation is notable and writes about it here. But take it to DRV if you must. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:23, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Muddyung the waters

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Mudyug concentration camp, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. The article maybe could have done with improvement, but please do not move it to the draft space without discussion. Also moving the article back and forwards destroys the edit history. — PatGallacher (talk) 23:03, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

  • PatGallacher, please learn to provide an heading when you leave a new talk page message. Why do you welcome me? I joined Wikipedia before you did. Please explain why you created Mudyug concentration camp instead of moving draft:Mudyug concentration camp to that title. Creating by copy&paste instead of move generates mess by leaving multiple copies which someone has to tidy up. More importantly it destroys edit history removing evidence of previous contributors to the article.
I still think that the article should be moved back to draft space but I will not press the point since an AfD discussion would probably decide the subject is notable. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:57, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Johannes Cornelius Jacobus (Hans) Lötter

I had declined the CSD for no-context deletion of Johannes Cornelius Jacobus (Hans) Lötter, only to discover that you had deleted it. As I explained to the tagger, his edit to make it qualify for A1 when it previously did not [1], is inappropriate. If you agree with my reasoning, I would like to restore the article, and improve it. Thanks, ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:41, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

  • I happened to stumble on that deletion - because I still have the tagger's page watchlisted from a previous interaction with them - and I agree with Patar knight. It was a poor article but there was context, if you look at the version before the tagger removed information. Nabla (talk) 01:34, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Constantine Mavroudis

Hi RHawth, Please forgive me from the start, this is my first Wikipedia submission and I am very excited about it, but I am very new. I am working hard to navigate the process but I am finding it a bit confusing just yet. My article submission yesterday was draft:Constantine Mavroudis. It was entirely original material but as I had trouble with the editing page (please don't pick on me), I typed everything into a word document then cut and pasted it. It was all my own work. I then found the visual editing page which was much easier... and that is why I edited my submission shortly later. It seems my article was deleted. I also see you have done much work on Wikipedia over many years. Are there any recommendations you can make for me to tighten my article? Can you get it back? Do you think it is a noteworthy topic? Thank you in advance for all your help which I have humbly imposed. I am even confused at sending messages. Admittedly, I am not a computer person. I am a nurse practitioner in pediatric cardiac surgery. I am also interested in being published and would love to help Wikipedia in my area of expertise, once I get better at using it altogether! ````amr247rn — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amr247rn (talk • contribs) 15:36, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

  • Amr247rn, you really do not deserve this: you failed to provide an heading to this section, were unable to copy&paste my name, failed to provide a link to the article and, worst of all, you have added back the copyvio rubbish. You made a good start on the article but you shot yourself in the foot by adding 100k bytes of unutterably unencyclopedic rubbish. Quite apart from the fact that it was a blatant copyvio, do you really think that people want to see an ill-formatted list of the hundreds of things he has published? I have reverted the article to a non-copyvio state. It needs expansion in your own words with more history but above all it needs links to reliable sources which provide evidence of his notability. By all means link to the article at congenitalheartdocumentary.com but it does not provide the required evidence. You should consider 3k bytes a maximum size for the article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:45, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Haitong international securities limited

Hi RH. So; yesterday you deleted this page under G11. It's come back today under the tweaked name Haitong International Securities Group Limited. I have stripped loads of the promo out- company products- but I didn't realse until I went to the creator's page that it had already been deleted once. Anyway, just FYI- it's clearly paid editing isn't it, and the ToU should outweigh notability I guess. Take care, O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 10:33, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of "Thugs Of Hindostan"

Thugs Of Hindostan has been deleted by you recently. see here You say that article was complety unsourced. I think that leading Indian newspapers like Indian Express and Times of India are reliable and independent sources. Secondly I put about 2-3 hours of work in researching, writing and refining the article and put my point on notability of article on Talk:Thugs_Of_Hindostan, but I am afraid it was given consideration. I think mechanical deletion of pages would only intimidate new Wikipedia editors like me.

Draft:Wholeness axiom

Hello RHaworth. I declined this technical move request by User:TakuyaMurata, hoping for a response from you. I assume there is a disagreement as to whether Draft:Wholeness axiom is ready for main space. It seems that User:Primefac did some earlier moves. User:Robert McClenon is the person who originally moved it into draft space. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:13, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

For my part, I came for the R2 and arrived to see the various deletes/moves. The creator recreated in mainspace despite it being moved back to draft twice, so I histmerged and moved it back to draft, protecting the article in the process to avoid further splits. I'm not particularly concerned with where it ends up. Primefac (talk) 19:18, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
In my opinion, it is still not ready for article space. If the author, User:R.e.b., really thinks that it is ready for article space, then the author should be prepared to improve it so that it will survive a discussion at Articles for Deletion. If the author really wants it in article space, that is, in my opinion, their privilege, but there is also a privilege and a right to nominate it for deletion as not explaining the notability of the axiom. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:45, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
I would say we shouldn't force where the author wants to put their drafts. If you think it is not notable, the correct procedure is an AfD not move to the draft space. I will be requesting a technical move again. -- Taku (talk) 19:46, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
  • "Still not ready for article space." Will it ever be ready? Ie. is it actually a notable topic? OK, Taku, I have followed correct procedure. The result of the AfD may set a precedent for what we do with the hundred other stubs of yours in draft space that you have not touched for more than a year. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:46, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

  • The article at boingboing is beneath contempt. I say that this incident demonstrates that Wikipedia is still working efficiently. It took a week to sort the matter out but it did get sorted. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:46, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
It was a valid and well argued criticism. If you just check that your speedy deletions are performed according to policy you will not have to bother about whether your contempt is or is not deserved. Thincat (talk) 08:49, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
The deletion was against Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia:Copyright violations#Dealing with copyright violations says: "if all of the content of a page appears to be a copyright infringement or removing the problem text is not an option because it would render the article unreadable, check the page history; if an older non-infringing version of the page exists, you should revert the page to that version".
Wikipedia gets a lot of cut-and-paste copyright violations, and keeping up with removing them is a tedious and thankless job. That does not excuse failing to check the page history as required by Wikipedia policy. -- Guy Macon (talk) 16:19, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you Orange Mike. The article was not a copyright violation, the mentioned citation was one of the articles which contained Dr C 's biography.

You have one. Feel free to reply here if you want, no worries. Cheers! O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 16:37, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

What do we do when a page is promotional, is tagged, but then the creator blanks the page, so removing the promotion and the tag from the page (which of course he shouldn't do) - do they cancel each other out? Like, the tags gone, but so is the promotional material? thank for the advice. O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 16:37, 15 February 2017 (UTC) [by email]

  • Why on earth did you send this by email? If you had cited specific examples, then email might have been appropriate. Very simple answer: slap a {{db-blanked}} tag on it! And if that gets blanked keep re-applying until an admin catches it and actions it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:30, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Sorry RH, I just thought you didn't appreciate getting unecessary messages here. Thanks for that though. Blindingly obvious as you say- I was distracted by the promo aspects rather than the simple fact of author deletion. I'll remember that, cheers, O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 18:57, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

@RHaworth: One more thing - if it was a user talkpage that had the spam / tag on it and was then blanked? Still U1 but with the mandatory rationale? Thanks again! O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 15:07, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for that {{ping|RHaworth}}  ;) -all it was, as I was replying to an old message half way up your page, rather than starting a new section. Cheers for the info. So the important thing is preserving the preservable history. Check. I wasn't thinking so much of archives though- haven't encounterd that yet. Perhaps luckily enough. But this was the cause of my question- where the page had been blanked, tag removed, but the promo material is still in the history. Although there's nothing else in the history apart from the tag. Alright. Thanks again, O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 14:13, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Came across this and went, "what is he thinking?" Then I noticed the date. Wikipedia was certainly a different place back then. --NeilN talk to me 22:33, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Tom Syrowski

I was not aware my article, Tom syrowksi would be deleted, please send it to me if you can? Thank you so much. There are also plenty of new listings I can reference and cite each of the things in the article and it is very similar to other people who do what he does who have their articles up. Please let me know if we can discuss. thank you again! — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiLA2017 (talk • contribs) 00:00, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

  • No wonder it got deleted - you could not even spell his name! I saw your ridiculous claim "three [sic] are hundreds of wiki pages that list him in their credits". The search engine reckons just 25! But even 25 is a good hint of notability so I have restored all your edits. As well as providing decent evidence of your notability you will greatly improve your chances of success if you pull your finger out and make the layout simply look like a wiki article - bulleted list, proper use of <ref>, no naked URLs, etc. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 01:02, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Stability of characterization

Dear RHaworth, Please give me some information why stability of characterization was deleted. What I should do to 'have' this page online? Thank You. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Žydrūnas VU (talk • contribs) 09:17, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank You for Your message. Unfortunately it is misunderstanding. The quotes in that page was copied from this open-source page. Please open and check it. I also have an Agreement of the Author of this book for publishing online. Is there something more I can do to bring back this page to be alive? Thank You. Žydrūnas VU (talk) 08:50, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank You for Your prompt reply/comment. This book is reached without any login or password. Isn't it mean is open-source? This book is find in internet source named "Turinys" of the same university where the author is working. Žydrūnas VU (talk) 14:34, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

  • No log in so it must be open source!!! What an hopeless misunderstanding in two respects. Please read about the open-source model. It has nothing to do with how you get to a given page. Sorry, I clouded the issue by saying "no evidence that … is open source" - I was confusing "open source" with "publick domain". We are not talking about how a given site is created: we are talking about its copyright status. If a page does not carry an explicit copyright statement then you must assume that it is "all rights reserved". You must look for a Creative Commons or compatible licence declaration and even then you must be careful. A page marked {{cc-by-nd-3.0}}, for example, may not be used in Wikipedia. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:07, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of Spotahome

Hi RHaworth, I see you deleted this article of mine on Spotahome I am a professional newspaper journalist and am pretty well versed in writing an unbiased article, although I'm not sure if someone from the company may have added any promotional language to it after my original submission. I truly believe Spotahome is an interesting and notable company. It appears that the company has not done much PR outside of Spain, but has been featured in that country's most important media outlets.

Also, several of Spotahome's competitors have Wikipedia pages. Weroom is a much smaller player in this industry, while HousingAnywhere and Uniplaces are around the same level as Spotahome. HousingAnywhere was founded around the same time, while Uniplaces has been around a bit longer. All three of those articles seem more promotional than what I wrote about Spotahome, so I don't understand what the differentiating criteria was. I guess it just depended on which editor happened to come across the article? I truly want to understand how this works so I don't spend more time writing articles that will be deleted. Thank you!

  • I can personally assure you I will examine those articles but, if advertising, they're no match in our policies and shall be deleted as such; articles here simply aren't automatically notable because they're interesting; in this case, see WP:What Wikipedia is not. Searching for what we would need found nothing suitable. SwisterTwister talk 03:53, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Hygienic Dress League

Hi RHaworth, Request to return Draft:Hygienic Dress League Corporation, submitted October 10, 2016. Thank you for your beyond decade long commitment to Wikipedia and information sharing. I have been working on an article for a recognized group of public artists whose work I admire, Hygienic Dress League, for about a year now. I last submitted on October 10, 2016 and was rejected for the article's 'advertising qualities.' Because the artists' mission focuses on creating a commentary between advertising, branding, and promotion, I had used language that reflected their sentiments.

I came back to edit out all superfluous, advertorial language so Hygienic Dress League's work can be accessed via Wikipedia, but I found that you have moved or deleted the article. Is there a way you can restore it? Please don't hesitate to reach out to me here or at my personal email: [redacted] Thank you, Beccalaurie (talk) 20:30, 20 February 2017 (UTC) Rebecca

  • Advertising is simply not restored, and in this case, it's best to start new, however, I will note that attempts at searching for better substance found only their own business announcements. SwisterTwister talk 03:53, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Mark M. Whelan FRSA deletion

Could you please explain the criteria for reinstatement of Mark M. Whelan FRSA, it had verified links to the Guardian, Conservative party, Amazon publication, and the RSA (Royal Society of the Arts) This seems to be grounds for plausible creation and credibility of the the page, therefore, it appears unreasonable to delete the page. Please advise your criteria for keeping a page that the person of interest is followed by the Foreign Office among other notable people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vizulux (talk • contribs) 20:05, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Slavery in the Spanish New World colonies

Hello. I helped contribute references to the article you deleted, Slavery in the Spanish New World colonies. Can you please explain why it was deleted and what the process was in deciding that it was full of "alternative facts?" I know for sure that the facts that I added about the Encomienda system is not an alternative fact. If there are other problematic areas in the article, I think that should be addressed at AfD. Did this go through that process? Also, may I see the original file so that I can evaluate other sources? Thank you ~ Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:48, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Mandela Effect Wikipedia page

Good afternoon, My purpose for contacting you is to ask why, in your own words, the Mandela effect Wikipedia page was taken down and ultimately to ask you to please reinstate it. I am an admin for the largest membered Mandela effect page on Facebook where we are steadily approaching 22,000 members at this time and the page being deleted has troubled many of our members. As for the purpose of its deletion being stated that the article had no meaningful, substantive content is not entirely up to you or whomever it was to decide. This is a very sensitive subject matter where it has not received much, if any, coverage through mainstream media sources and many who do run across the subject turn to more "credible" sites such as Wikipedia to get a better foundational understanding of what exactly the matter entails. Also, I notice controversial results when searching "Mandela Effect Wikipedia" as the two leading results are "False memories" and "Confabulation" but I won't bother you on that matter as I'm sure you don't have any control of that. Being so, I politely ask that you reinstate the page or direct me to someone who can. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luke1132 (talk • contribs)

Can you also delete The mandela effect because that continues to be redirect to False memory. Thanks.--Jack Upland (talk) 01:40, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Peer5 deletion

Hello, I would like to contest the deletion of this page https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Peer5 I think that speedy deletion criteria have not been met. Primarily, the page created had reputable, industry relevant sources, and the article topic is a well-known company in its industry. In addition, Wikipedia already has similar articles about companies in the same industry. So, I think that the first speedy deletion criteria was not met, ie, A7. As for G11, I'm ready to remedy that if my complain is taken into consideration. Thank you -- Reollun (talk) 10:50, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Article Deletion Request

Hi Roger, Please could you kindly send me the text for the following article of mine that you deleted - https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Draft:Advantage_Testing&action=edit&redlink=1 I understand your reasons for deleting, as it appears to be simply marketing for a company. So I wish to rewrite the article in an unbiased, objective manner. Many thanks for your assistance and for giving your time to Wikipedia - it's a tremendous resource.
