Help to get an article deleted edit

Can you please tell me how to get the article Aberdeen F.C. achievements deleted because, although I created it, I have since discovered that the identical information contained on the page is already used in a another article. This is a mistake due to the main article Aberdeen F.C. gaining sub articles to reduce the length of the main page.

Could I please ask if you could respond to my user page, thanks Dreamweaverjack (talk) 04:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi HSR. I have declined to speedy this, certainly per WP:SNOW which I can't see is a valid reason at all for CSD (?). However I agree it's a rotten article so you may well wish to add input at the above debate. Cheers! Pedro :  Chat  13:26, 16 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Advance enzymes edit

I've declined the speedy tag you placed on Advance enzymes. The reason is:

not copyvio from that URL, and I can't find a different one which this is from. Feel free to retag if you can find the site this was copied from.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Rogerchapmanliveinhamburg.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Rogerchapmanliveinhamburg.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:24, 21 January 2008 (UTC)   Done.

User talk:Mrbrownshoes edit

Just want to explain something here - I screwed up, I didn't do my research. WP:PROD says The only exceptions to this rule are pages in the User and User talk namespaces which may be proposed for deletion if the user has no recent edits and has made few or no contributions to the encyclopedia., which is the case here...it's just an unusual move, and most people trying it are doing it on someone who was blocked 2 days before. I've added a prod2 that expands your rationale so it's more in line with the "exception", but honestly, I don't see the harm in keeping the page and just blanking it. --UsaSatsui (talk) 07:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

DYK next update edit

Howdy! I noticed that you recently promoted your own nom of Nikki Catsouras to Template:Did you know/Next update. Ideally, you would want an uninvolved and objective editor to promote your own nom so that there is not any appearance of impropriety--especially when you have had some editors express concerns about the article/hook. I have no problems with hook myself, and certainly won't remove it from the update, but I do want to forewarn you that another editor might notice your promotion and remove it themselves. AgneCheese/Wine 16:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I also saw the hook. I reworded it because it's a bit speculative. Most defendants in a lawsuit have the potential to lose and pay damages. WP shouldn't take sides. The hook may be seen as one sided. Have you put your own hook on next update? That's not suppose to happen. With the new rules for length, there are fewer hooks so others will decide and likely choose most hooks. Archtransit (talk) 17:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

standards edit

I was not familiar with the Heymann Standard. So thanks for drawing it to my attention.

As I wrote in my final comment, I think RHaworth was correct, and the article should be merged with Communications in Pakistan.

But I am puzzled by your standards. If Communications in Pakistan didn't exist why would you argue for deletion of the current state of the article? Doesn't WP:DEL make clear that whether an article should be deleted should depend on a judgment on the merits of the article's topic, not the article's current state?

We aren't discussing whether this article merits featured article, or good article status, after all. If the Communications in Pakistan article didn't exist, this article would be a useful stub. I had no idea how much growth Pakistani telephony had experienced recently.

FWIW I would have argued for keeping the original version of the Heymann article, on the grounds (1) notable professors merit coverage; (2) a professor of architecture chosen by the POTUS to be his architect satisfies the "notable professor" clause.

Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 18:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

I got your reply.
What I was curious about was -- are you saying that the current state of the article should be deleted -- if it weren't going to be merged with Communications in Pakistan?

Re: Actors who died in their 20s edit

Hey I just wanted to let you know that, if you renominate the article, make sure to make it clear the article cannot be categorized due to consensus from WP:CfD. This AfD discussion has frustrated me beyond belief as users have refused to listen to the fact that WP:CfD has a long standing precedent that categories such as this should not exist. Meanwhile, the only people voting keep are voting based on WP:USEFUL and WP:LOSE (an admin of all people is arguing "we have to have either a category or a list, therefore keep the list"; rather scary this person was promoted). If this is closed as non-consensus, I'm seriously considering taking it to deletion review as no one has given a good reason so far to keep it. Redfarmer (talk) 08:48, 29 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Redirect of Allanah scully edit

 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Allanah scully, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Allanah scully is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Allanah scully, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Small note edit

I just wanted to note something I saw at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BoyBand. You said that All Music Guide is extremely comprehensive. I've been using AMG daily for over a year now, and I can say that it has very good coverage of American music, especially recent American music, to the point of near-compehensivity. But its coverage of non-American music (including Canadian and British music, even) is often very spotty, and so the lack of an AMG entry for non-American bands is something I take lightly in looking for notability. This is no comment about BoyBand itself, and I'm not questioning the AfD, but I thought it'd be worth pointing out my experiences here. Chubbles (talk) 18:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I've written articles for a number of American bands without AMG biographies, although they almost always have at least a listing. I generally find that the vast majority of artists with AMG bios will at least pass WP:MUSIC point 1 if one does enough digging; this is especially so for artists popular before the 1990s. But it's true that AMG sometimes puts up bios of bands that haven't even released their debut album yet, if they're on a well-known label. Chubbles (talk) 18:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Ooh, you hit on one of their weak spots there. AMG's coverage of early '90s hip-hop and R&B is bad, and there aren't a lot of good in-depth discographies of that stuff yet like there are for, say, indie rock and metal. Chubbles (talk) 19:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thank you very much! ISD (talk) 20:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi HisSpaceResearch, I see that you've been very active in Wikipedia, and have been involved in AfD discussions on bio pages where notability was an issue (e.g. Mark Prindle). To give such articles a home, and indeed to provide a wiki-style presence for anyone who wants it, I've created a website called Wikipopuli. Perhaps you would consider using it as a transwiki resource during future discussions (or indeed as a place for any bios you'd like to create that might fall afoul of WP:BIO)? In fact, given your level of experience in the wiki world, I'd be grateful for any feedback you care to give on the site. Thanks TheYellowCabin (talk) 16:04, 7 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your opinion= edit

Hello, I would like to have your opinion on [[1]]. In your AFD post #, you had proposed to keep the article. The controversy was all about the reliability one' minor source out of about 12 and despite the fact that I posted the 2 links [2][3] showing that the main source is accdredited by the British Library, and that there are only 5 poetry website endorsed by the British Library, the article was deleted with a genereal comment on stating that the sources are not reliable. Shouldn't wikipedia stick to its policies? If a source is endorsed by the British Library, isn't that enough to prove its reliability? I've also added other publications (paper) in the meantime, but that was not the point.

The real reason seems to me that 2 or 3 experienced wikipedians have ganged up against the article, but no one has commented on the reliability of the great majority of my sources, including the main one. Thanks. TonyBrit (talk) 14:43, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Marika Michalowska edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Marika Michalowska, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Marika Michalowska. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 17:34, 21 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Heartbeat (Scouting for Girls song) edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Heartbeat (Scouting for Girls song), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Heartbeat (Scouting for Girls song). - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 15:36, 24 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Heartbeat (Scouting for Girls song) edit

 

A tag has been placed on Heartbeat (Scouting for Girls song), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Taroaldo (talk) 15:41, 24 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Britannica edit

You can see what subjects Britannica covers here, but you can only read a few lines of each article without paying. For instance, there are four mentions of Pokémon, but no article. The Simpsons gets its own article. It is quite interesting- as you would expect, we cover pop culture far, far better, and I remember reading somewhere they have no article that we don't. Don't quote me on that though, I may be wrong. J Milburn (talk) 17:57, 3 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re: your question about Britannica and other encyclopedias listing deaths by year: yes, they do it, but in the Year Books. There's an online version here for Deaths in 2003. --Canley (talk) 23:00, 3 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
