Why did you delete the SoChe page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mantilar (talk • contribs) 02:57, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

  • As the deletion log indicates , it appeared to be a hoax and met speedy deletion criteria for hoaxes. To be frank, there is absolutely no evidence (either found in the article or any reliable sources) that this term is in use outside of the article, and your only other edits seemed to be attempts to shoehorn that term into other articles. --Kinu t/c 03:01, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
    • In fact, this has been a coined neighborhood name in New York just as those which came before it ex. West Village and East Village are sub neighborhoods of Greenwich Village. Please undo whatever actions you took to delete this page or let me know if you'd like to have a further discussion on this.
      • Please show me a reliable source that uses this term and I will gladly do so. --Kinu t/c 03:05, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
        • How could I possibly do that when it's a coined neighborhood that people use in New York City? There are no official neighborhoods in Manhattan they are all names that people started calling areas as they began to grow its own culture, pulse and feel.

          • Well, I can easily find terms like NoHo, East Village, and the sort on a map (like the MTA's subway map), in print (like the New York Times), and actual sources that meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy. The claim of "word of mouth" isn't good enough until someone reports about it. --Kinu t/c 03:13, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
            • Hells Kitchen, Clinton, Spanish Harlem are all not on the MTA's subway map, but are real neighborhoods in Manhattan that people call home. I do respect (in fact I really respect after all this) Wikipedias accuracy, but I would appreciate you forwarding this issue on to an admin in New York City if that is possible. Thank you. - Andrew — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mantilar (talk • contribs) 03:17, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
            • Also, NoHo and the East Village, as you noted above, are NOT in fact on the MTA's subway map. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mantilar (talk • contribs) 03:22, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
              • I hope you realize the MTA map was just one example of a possible source. These terms appear on other maps, are referred to in other media. What it comes down to is: adequate sourcing exists for those terms, but not for "SoChe." Without anything to show its existence, it violates Wikipedia policy on verifiability. All users (administrators or otherwise) and all content are bound by that. As I said before: show me a source and I will restore the article. Avoiding the issue isn't helping your case. (And, by the way... I'm looking at the MTA map right now. I'm a transportation nerd, and it's actually my computer's desktop wallpaper. Looks like they're there to me.) --Kinu t/c 03:26, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
Actually, such a ruling by the community board would not be sufficient to show that a neighborhood exists for a number of reasons:
  • As Mantilar points out, neighborhoods in New York City exist by common usage, and not by official action, so no official action can ex nihilo create a neigborhood.
  • The Community Board action is about zoning in a specific area of the Chelsea neighborhood. It may very well be (may be even probable) that the re-zoning will bring about a new neighborhood, because the character of the area is altered by the re-zoning, and many more residential units are created, but the creation of a zoning area does not in and of itself create a new neighborhood. That can happen only over time, and requires (for our purposes) references in newspapers, magazines etc. I won't be surprised at all if, in five years, maybe less, we have an article on West Chelsea as a separate neighborhood (perhaps under a different name), but we don't have one now and that is appropriate, since it does not yet have a separate identity.
  • The same is true, but even more so, of "South Chelsea", which is about two or three steps behind West Chelsea.
  • Even if South Chelsea were to be re-zoned, and the re-zoning was to change the character of the area, and it became a separate and recognized neighborhood, it wouldn't be "SoChe" unless people called it "SoChe", and we would need to have verification of that name from reliable sources as well.

All of this means that the cart is being put before the cart here. Neighborhoods can't be nudged into creation by writing a Wikipedia article and hoping that reality catches up, it's got to be the other way around. NYC has lots and lots of different kins of districts – police precinct districts, fire districts, numerous electorial districts, community board districts, zoning districts – but each of these is not a neigborhood, and a real neighborhood will frequently cross the lines of those districts, because they're created by the actions and attitudes of people and not by bureaucratic action. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:08, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

  • Yes, that is a valid point. Perhaps my statement was a (semi-exasperated) extreme summary version of the events that need to unfold for this to be verifiable: if there is some action that legitimizes the usage of this term (either de facto or de jure), and then the term enters popular usage and becomes identifiable with the neighborhood, and then the usage is reflected in reliable sources, then such an article could exist. Your expanded clarification is appreciated. --Kinu t/c 05:15, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I've actually heard that area called South Chelsea numerous times; however, I am not sure it has been called SoChe before. It is probable but evidence and usage (including links) is needed. Will do a bit of research as I've lived in the area for 10+ years and would be entertained if this is true in fact true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ElBarone203 (talk • contribs) 20:18, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Chelsea is rather a large neighborhood which is undergoing significant changes, so it's natural that people will start to refer to specific parts of it which begin to have their own character: thus, "West Chelsea", "South Chelsea" and so on. Real estate interests fuel this to some extent, as having an identifiably trendy or upscale neighborhood for your property helps sales (that's what's behind NoMad, for instance, and the Meatpacking District, although those neighborhoods have sufficient media coverage to warrant having their own articles) It's all an evolutionary process, with the push of realtors being held back by the inertia of the status quo, and the media divided between those that want to be trendy and those who don't want to use identifiers which will confuse their audience, and it's not always easy to tell when a neighborhood crosses the line and becomes notable, by our standards.

When I moved to my present apartment 30+ years ago, the area didn't have much of an identity, although it was sometimes called the "Photo District" because of the great number of photographers' studios and photo supply stores there, or the "Toy District" because of the influence of the Toy Center, and Hasbro and Mattel being located nearby. To me, living in the East Village, it was just farther "uptown". Now, it's quite firmly the Flatiron District. If Wikipedia had existed back then – when I moved in and there was no supermarket, no drugstore, no place to eat, and the streets rolled up at 6pm – someone who tried to start an article on the area as a neighborhood would have been shut down in exactly the same way as SoChe was, since the neighborhood was only on the cusp of emerging, and there was, as yet, no "there" there.

  • Looking at the deleted article, more than one sentence and something that actually indicates a claim of importance would be helpful. Aggrandizing statements like "a patriot of his country" without any actual substance do not convey importance and are subject to speedy deletion. --Kinu t/c 19:31, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
Why was the AnaJet page deleted?
This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here.

There is a significant reason for having companies in direct to garment printer manufacturing. Much like Epson, Toshiba, Vizio, and other significant manufacturers who have incorporated with other large entities. Why was this page blatant advertising if no reference to the product was mentioned. It was merely about the company and the direct to garment printing industry. Significant sources were cited. MantisMB (talk) 22:10, 25 January 2011 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by MantisMB (talk • contribs) 22:07, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)1. The only "source" was the subject's own webpage; so apparently nobody ever heard of them.
2. The language was full of phrasing like "has developed new channels for such technologies as the ease of use of digital printing for apparel", which belongs in a press release or other advertisement, not in an encyclopedia article. --Orange Mike | Talk 22:14, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

I was referring to the second time it was deleted. Can you pull up that deleted page? It had 4 "sources". If it's sold in 27 countries, nobody has heard of them. Direct to garment printing is worldwide, although it is an emerging technology. Several of AnaJet's managers are writers for trade publications[1]. The company has recently incorporated with Chicago Partners Group[2]. I thought it was significant enough to put them on here. Thank you for your curt response. MantisMB (talk) 22:31, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

  • For what it's worth, the four sources: a link to the company's home page; a press release about the company (one of the links you provide above); an article written by someone identified as the "applications manager" for the company and not even about the company (one of the links you provide above); and an article that doesn't mention the company at all that is apparently by the company-employed individual who wrote the other article. Orange Mike sums it up well: ultimately there was nothing substantive indicating why the company is important (WP:CSD#A7), and it was laden with blatant adspeak and press release-type material/non-sources (WP:CSD#G11). --Kinu t/c 22:56, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Hiya Kinu,

I see you have deleted my "sukimasis" page ... just wondering. It is, as you say, a hoax, but it's part of an ARG I am going to play with some of my secondary school students and I wanted to use different sources of information. I didn't think this type of stuff (it's not offensive to or lying about anybody) would automatically be deleted...

  • "It is, as you say, a hoax"... so you agree that the reason for deletion was appropriate. Likewise, I'm assuming "ARG" means "alternate reality game"... note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free webhost/game server. --Kinu t/c 18:51, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough... any suggestions about where I could post it... kinda new to this type of stuff —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.97.3.25 (talk) 19:41, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

Your deletion notice on Right to Information in local governments in Kerala
This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here.

The contents of the page Right to Information in local governments in Kerala is open government information exists in the law (Right to Information Act 2005) and rules created by Government of India and Government of Kerala respectively and does not contain any copyright material. As well, the same details are there in the decwatch.org site administered by me (decwatch.org server admin's email is decwatch@gmail.com. If copyright issue is the only problem, as site manager of the decwatch.org, I can give permission. But I dont know the mechanism for doing it as I have not goen through the process. As well, kinldy understand that I have been building pages on local governance in kerala at times during the last two years. Please see other pages as well.I am not a vandal or violator of wiki rules. Please get in touch with me if you need more towards clarification. So please get to know more before taking a decison on deletion. (Rajankila (talk) 05:02, 27 January 2011 (UTC))

  • Can you provide a link to the original source from the Government of Kerala? Also, to be frank, the copyright issue isn't the only problem... a text-dump of a government document isn't really all that encyclopedic. I would think that the content would be more useful if rewritten as a sourced commentary. --Kinu t/c 22:08, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
    • http://www.rti.kerala.gov.in/faq.htm as well as the entire site is my source. As well, the site is a derivative of the Right to Information Act 2005 at http://www.rti.kerala.gov.in/act.htm of the Government of India itself. That means mine is a third modified copy of a very significant act that gives people the power to see government affairs from its records. It is an act similar to Freedom of Information Law. The table created by me at my site at http://decwatch.org is nowhere else available. But I did not get time to crete that all I wanted to update and stopped with a note that all those editing and refining will be done soon. See that, for right to inforamtion act, there are innumerable sites in India such as those that are linked at the bottom of my page at decwatch.org,including e-learning courses, denoting its importance. I did not include historical facts like Kerala had a transparency law in India since 1962 when nobody else thought of it as a subject. I admit that the language of the page might be not so refined, but the argument that the subject does not fall under the encyclopediac category cannot be a valid one, to me. So please consider reverting and retaining the page, if possible, which I will improve in course of time.Rajankila (talk) 13:37, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
      • Please read the above reply, check the links and decide whether the page was worth deleting. If not please revert the deletion.Rajankila (talk) 11:20, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
        • I've looked over the content and still am unsure about the copyright status. While the government-created content appears freely usable, the content that you created on the DecWatch website does not appear to be usable at the moment. It is actually insufficient for you to simply state here that you own the website, unfortunately; while I don't distrust you, it just isn't sufficient per our copyright policies. I would say that you have a couple of options here, which are more succinctly outlined at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials under the section "Granting us permission to copy material already online". This would allow you to release the content under a copyleft free license compatible with Wikipedia by either noting it on the DecWatch website or by providing proof of ownership via the OTRS e-mail system. If you're unsure, it might also be worth asking at Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems; the editors who frequent that discussion are generally more adept at handling copyright issues. I hope this helps! --Kinu t/c 00:03, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
        • The page http://decwatch.org/?q=node/133 is under cretive commons now. Please see the notice at the bottom of the page.Please revert the deletion.Rajankila (talk) 12:52, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Sydness Architects P.C.
This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here.

I would like Sydness Architects page to not be deleted. I do not understand how you believe it not to be an encyclopedic entry. It is not for advertising purposes. The definition of Encyclopedia according to Apple is " a book giving information on many subjects." Sydness Architects is an interesting subject because the company was started by an architect who was one of the last partners of world renowned architect Phillip Johnson. Many people in architecture would like to know that especially since the ideas from this firm were closely worked on with Phillip Johnson. I can try and re word the entry but the Sydness Architects P.C. page is an interesting piece of information because of it's direct ties to Phillip Johnson.

Please undo the delete on the page so I can access it and add more reference. Architectural Digest and the New York Times have reviewed this company and it's significance to post-modern architecture. It seems I can't edit it unless you take it of "delete"? If you don't I will just recreate it, but out of courtesy you should talk to the author before you delete pages.(Kesydness (talk) 16:09, 27 January 2011 (UTC)).

Putting in my two cents: I've looked over the Sydness Architects web page, and it seems possible that an article on the firm would pass our notability reqirements, although it's hardly a slam-dunk. Jeff Sydness, the principal partner, looks more likely to do so. However, if there's an article there, it shouldn't be written by anyone connected with the company, because of the potential conflict of interest problems that arise. I did not see the article that was deleted, but I can well believe that it was overly promotional in tone, as that is what generally happens when people connected with a company try to write a Wikipedia article about it.

Instead of attempting to re-create this article again, only to have it speedily deleted again, why not leave a message on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Architecture, explaining that you are associated with the company, that you think the company is notable and should have an article about it, give the highlights of what makes it notable (in your opinion), and ask if anyone there would be interested in starting an article. If that happens, you can then stay involved by making suggestions on the article's talk page, although you should avoid editing it directly, because Wikipedia strives to maintain a neutral point of view, and that's difficult to do when you have a conflict of interest. Beyond My Ken (talk) 16:47, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

The editor has ignored my advice and recreated the article (very badly) as Sydness Architects. Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:27, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
I see no reason to delete the current article, as the author did post a comment at the Architecture WikiProject noticeboard for feedback, and it doesn't look overly promotional. (It is terribly sourced, nonetheless.) I did tag it as {{coi}}, though, because that is apparent. Also, I felt that a {{spamusernameblock}} was appropriate for this account, because the username appears to be connected to the Sydness Architects company, and the comment I am associated with the firm seems to underscore that. --Kinu t/c 21:59, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi! I noticed this edit

Because a secondary source "THE Journal" (a technology journal) is making a big deal out of it (an entire secondary source article), it's an "encyclopedic source" with encyclopedic information. WhisperToMe (talk) 00:27, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

  • To be honest, I really don't see how information about the school's choice of e-mail solution really adds any value to an article about the school. Just because it's in a source doesn't mean its encyclopedic. Nonetheless, I have zero interest in this article and won't press the issue further. --Kinu t/c 00:34, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello,

Could you please explain to me why was VINF article deleted? I've seen that it was deleted months ago because of a "spammy tone", or beacause it "has doutless no physical existence", or "lacks of sources of notability". But all these things have changed:

-The spammy tone has disappeared, hasn't it? -"Has doubtless no physical existence": I don't see the point here, but it has a physicial existence: It's located in the Science park of Liège, in Belgium, as you can see on google. -"Lack of sources" : I don't know how many you need... Right now, there are an online article about VINF and its conference, official VINF website, institutionnal European websites that mention VINF, websites of organisations of which VINF is an important member (Nanoindent, Nanofutures)... It seems quite enough for me, doesn't it? This institute clearly exists. I could add proofs from the websites of its members, but it would be useless for readers. -"Lack of notability": It's a structure created for nanofilms professionnals, that gather the biggest research center in Europe, Israel and Russia, as the sources proof. It's clearly well-known in this field, I don't think it has have a general notabiulity to appear on wikipedia...

Therefore, could you please explain to me why it was deleted once again, and what does it lack in order to be published?

Thanks.

Jeylab (talk) 11:03, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

  • If "all these things have changed," then the article did not indicate it. The article was essentially identical to the version discussed and deleted in October, and thus the tone was identical. Indeed, looking at that version and this one, the introduction, history, and mission sections appear to be word-for-word identical, which also raises the question as to whether it was copied from another source. The only actual change was an increase in the length of the membership list, combined with a slew of external links to those members' websites, which added nothing in the way of actual content about the subject. Ultimately, the article in its last form was identical enough to warrant a WP:CSD#G4.
    As for what an article on this would need... you answer your own questions above. Citing (actual) references of the sort you mention would be helpful. And considering neither the last version of the article nor this one mentioned where it was located... that might be something to include. Saying it "clearly exists" and is "clearly well-known" is no substitute for actual sources that show it meets WP:GNG. I would recommend creating a userspace draft before attempting to make a live version, i.e., at User:Jeylab/Virtual Institute of Nano Films. I hope this clarification is of assistance. --Kinu t/c 19:50, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

There are no continental competitions for under-16 and under-18 teams. Also Ukraine as most other UEFA members does not have under-23 team, instead under-21 team is being utilized for that reason.

  • I'll be honest, I don't know much about the topic nor do I claim to (and thus have no vested interest in the articles/template), but I don't think that WP:CSD#A7 applies. The articles appear to claim importance as national squads (with players/coaches notable enough for articles having been involved with them), which as a lower threshold than notability prevents speedy deletion in my opinion. As for the template, since the articles still currently exist, their existence in the template appears justified. If you feel the squads are not notable, I have no objection to you taking them to AfD. --Kinu t/c 11:04, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey Kinu. I noticed that you removed my A7 nomination on this article and said that "it's a train". As I see it, the subject is either a company or a product of a company that makes no claim of notability. While I think there may be some claim that a train that transports many people is notable, I don't know of any inclusion guideline that would support that. You're the admin here and I don't pretend to be an expert so let me know if I'm missing something. Please hit me with a TB if you reply here. Thanks for your time.

  • It appears to be a member of Category:Named passenger trains of India, which indicates that it is part of the Indian Railways network. As such it seems to refer not to the train (as in the physical object), but the rail line/service itself. I felt A7 was thus inappropriate in this regard.

I removed the BLP prod tag you placed on Madhukar Keshav Dhavalikar as it contains exactly one source that supports exactly one claim made in the article.

Colleague,
It would appear that "Foolkit" is back again as Foolkit Australia. Your thoughts on this matter?

Hello; I'm dropping you this message because you commented during the speedy deletion discussion for Rewilding (Carnivores) on its talk page. I think that the result of that discussion was correct and that the article did not meet any of the CSDs, but I have nominated the article for the standard AfD process at the link above. I thought that you might be interested in joining that discussion since you've already looked at the article a little bit. --❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 06:01, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for deleting this hoax. The image associated with the article (Image:Tsotso.jpg) probably also needs to be deleted; it's probably a copyright violation of someone else's work. Should I tag it with something, or can you just make it go away? Thanks! Pburka (talk) 22:56, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

I noticed that you have deleted the Tabula company page for violation of copyright. However, the content that linkedin uses is borrowed from the about us page of the company itself and can be found at http://www.tabula.com/about/about.php for which I had already provided a reference. Further, I had modified the page to prevent the bot from generating copyright infringement issues by using a neutral point of view. Mohit Kanwal 07:42, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

  • If the content is actually copyright the company, per their website, it still means it's a copyright violation. Also, in comparing the text of the article (after your changes) to the original text, I noticed, other than the removal of the last paragraph, only a few minor changes (i.e., changing first person to third person) were made. Changing a few words doesn't not make it a copyright violation; the prose is just too similar. That text may be used as a source, but not as the entirety of the article's content. I hope this information helps. --Kinu t/c 07:43, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
    • All right then I am going ahead with just creating a one-line stub. Is news papers and magazines under public domain? Thanks Mohit Kanwal (talk) 07:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
      • The content of newspapers and magazines is generally copyrighted by the respective publisher. Again, you may use these as sources for information, but copying sentences/paragraphs (even with minor modification) would be considered a copyright issue. --Kinu t/c 07:53, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

You deleted too quickly. She is vice-chair of the Craft Potters Association, the representative body of studio potters in the UK. If you know nothing about the subject, then of course she is not notable to you. Please reinstate under "hang on". Marshall46 (talk) 09:30, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

  • I'm not certain if being the vice-chair of this group is a claim of importance and endorsed the deletion tagging. The point seems moot, however, seeing as how you've recreated the article. Also, as to your comment (If you know nothing about the subject, then of course she is not notable to you): I would avoid such glib assessments in the future. We base things on policies and guidelines around here and usually do a decent job of it. --Kinu t/c 16:43, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello. Earlier today you deleted the article for [[2]] extremely quickly through section A7. I read the article from user Chris that you referenced about bands in order to better respond to you. Although the band is relatively new onto the scene, they've accomplished a ton in a very short time. They've been on a major Ontario radio station (as cited) and will have an interview posted in a magazine in the next few weeks (also to be posted). They are also signed to the promotions company Pure Fokus Entertainment. The band will be headlining a major Hamilton venue this week, only shortly after opening for a very notable band (also on Wikipedia). The band's first tour to promote their EP album will take place in August for several weeks. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.119.240.113 (talk) 15:15, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Having a few local gigs, minor local airplay, self-published albums, and sourcing to Myspace are not claims of importance. The phrase "relatively new onto the scene" essentially translates to "non-notable". See the band deletion FAQ mentioned above. Thanks. --Kinu t/c 16:47, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, within about a minute of creating the "Retail Sales Monitor" page, you deleted it through G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://en.old.brocompany.com/analytics/economic-calendar/event/view/24500. I am the Marketing Manager of the British Retail Consortium and the Retail Sales Monitor is our publication. The BRC own the Retail Sales Monitor data which has been reproduced by the company you mention in G12 - indeed the page is called BRC Retail Sales Monitor. Please could you reinstate this page.

  • I noticed this message only after I'd blocked this account due to its username and suspicions that it might be a role account; while your comment seems to confirm my suspicion, I will nonetheless respond, in case you do petition for a username change on your talk page and do read this message if/when you are unblocked. The issue is that the copyright holder is the association, and any content that is used must be properly released under a compatible free license (i.e., CC-BY-SA 3.0 and the GFDL). As an agent of the association, you would be able to use one of the means provided at WP:COPYRIGHT to release the content; merely stating your role with the association here is not sufficient. However, this content would be subject to editing and neither you nor the association would retain ownership of the content on Wikipedia.
    On an unrelated note, given that you have edited British Retail Consortium, I would also follow the guidelines at WP:COI regarding editing about topics with which you may have a conflict of interest, especially because of your disclosure that your role with the association is marketing.

Hi, I see you have deleted the Sean Donnelly/Andrew Lansley Rap page.

It seems a little precipitous to me. Sean Donnelly and/or the rap have been featured by both the BBC and the Guardian in the space of a couple of days, and it's pretty obvious that there is going to be quite a bit more where that came from.

Another editor had intended to rename the page, so that it highlighted the track itself rather than its author; in hindsight this might have been the better approach from the outset.

It may well be that within a few weeks this particular phenomenon may have sunk below the waterline of notability, but that seems rather unlikely now.

At any rate, deleting the article after just a few hours seems to be rather hasty.DanieleProcida (talk) 22:50, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello,

You deleted an article on me, Daniela Oliva. The reason inputted is as follows:

06:33, 28 March 2011 Kinu (talk | contribs) deleted "Daniela Oliva" ‎ (G12: Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://www.musicxray.com/profiles/1825)

My publicist wrote the bio (work-for-hire), under the law that means I have a right to that content. I created the page on Music XRay in order to accept submissions for various music-related opportunities. I grant wikipedia permission to use the content and I can delete the page on Music Xray if necessary.

Thank you, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniclrfna (talk • contribs) 02:06, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Simply indicating that you are the owner is not sufficient; we don't know that you actually are who you claim to be. Notwithstanding, thank you for making the conflict of interest clear in this article. That aside, another reason the article was deleted was because it did not address the importance of the subject, per WP:CSD#A7. Also, I would keep the Music X-Ray profile; that site is the appropriate location to write about yourself, not here; Wikipedia is not a free webhost or place to promote yourself. Thanks. --Kinu t/c 06:42, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

A7 deletion on Diary of a Bad Man
This discussion has been archived and should not be modified. To comment, please create a new topic at the bottom of my current talk page by clicking here.

Hi, I was wondering about your CSD A7 deletion of Diary of a Bad Man. I looked at that article and concluded that the claim of 14 million views for the series was a credible assertion of notability sufficient to escape deletion under A7. I had previously challenged the A7 and replaced it with a notability prod, and was hoping you could provide some feedback on whether you think I was justified in my challenge to it. I'm not requesting the deletion be undone, as it did have a clear notability issue, just hoping for more info. Thanks, Monty845 07:08, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

I thought that CSD was a bit harsh as well. Monty, it doesn't need to have an assertion of notability even, just an "indication of importance" - which in my opinion it does. I'm not sure if the show will pass notability in the long run, but it should at least be given a chance, and I recommend going back to PROD status. Marasmusine (talk) 09:59, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
I didn't ask for the deletion to be undone as it would seem a bit Pointy for me to ask that it be restored just so that it can be deleted in a week or so under a different process, but I do hope to discuss whether it really did meet the criteria for A7. Monty845 17:10, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
  • Perhaps I'm a bit too cynical these days in seeing a statement of "x views on YouTube" as a claim of importance... but nonetheless, I will admit that when x is in the millions, I can be swayed to agreeing with you. Part of me was also concerned that this is some sort of coatrack spam; the article on the creator of the series was deleted via AfD, and the list of episodes was deleted via A7 (although that was merely a list of plot summaries and did not contain the claim of importance indicated here). For the sake of process and allowing this article to be evaluated on its own merits, I have no objection to restoring the article with the PROD tag intact. Thanks for your message. --Kinu t/c 17:41, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Nice catch of yours on discovering RM 1431's business route. The route does exist, but the new RM 1431 bypass doesn't show on the map view on Google Maps. The satellite view, however, shows it clearly. It's also on the extreme east edge of TxDOT mapbook plate 400 and extreme west on 430. I added {{Infobox road small}} to the article, added it to the junction list, and submitted a new shield request. Fortguy (talk) 20:16, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

  • And I have to give you credit as well... I was wondering what that extra red line was between pages 400 and 430.

I was also convinced it was a hoax because some of the facts presented just didn't seem to add up... but that might just have been because the articles were pretty poorly written and I had a hard time making much sense of it.

  • The article appeared to be about a student club that was only sourced to the school's/club's own website, and nothing in the prose appeared to be a claim of importance. --Kinu t/c 02:35, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Just an admin question

Hey Kinu. I saw you were an admin, and I'd like your opinion. I've always wanted to be a Wikipedia admin, because I really do enjoy helping Wikipedia. It's such a unique place. So I was wondering, when should I request to be an admin, and what should I work on in between there and now? Thanks. Endofskull (talk) 16:43, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

  • I would definitely check out Wikipedia:Admin coaching... that page has a list of rough expectations as to what a prospective admin candidate should have worked on here. I'd say that, ultimately, there are no guidelines as to when to have an RfA, so if you feel that you have the experience in applying policies/guidelines and feel that you have participated here enough, a self-nomination wouldn't be taken the wrong way. I hope this helps, and feel free to ask any other questions if you need! --Kinu t/c 02:33, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Dear Kinu, You deleted my page today for (A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content): G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion). I am happy to put up a new article that fits the guidelines, but am not sure what I'm missing. To be short, I posted a page about a lab working in NY that does certain research that is of course published and notable. There's a lot more but wanted to be quick. Please tell me anything I can do better. Thanks, Jason — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jason.albalah (talk • contribs) 22:32, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

About the block you did on User:NotReallyFactual, I wish to say that he made a subpage of his userpage. The page he made is located here. If you don't mind, can you leave that undeleted? It is just really funny to have that there, with him/her saying that they were intentionally vandalising wikipedia. Thanks. LikeLakers2 (talk) 20:52, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Nevermind... you already deleted it. LikeLakers2 (talk) 20:53, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Why did you delete 'Hesham Saleh'. I didn't even finish editing it. I was about to put some sources — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hesham44 (talk • contribs) 23:30, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

  • The article contained no indication of importance and qualified under WP:CSD#A7, as it did the other times you've created it. Please read Wikipedia's guidelines on notability and autobiographies. --Kinu t/c 23:44, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Kinu, after you declined the speedy, I brought the article to Afd... but I think I did a mistake somewhere as it does not show on the log. Would you mind checking? Thanks, Racconish Tk 20:26, 16 August 2011 (UTC) Fixed, don't bother.Racconish Tk 20:34, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Wondering about next steps: PRIDE

Hello. I recently tried to do a page that got labeled for speedy deletion because it looked like unambiguous advertising... and when I looked at it again, I realized why. I had not realized that I needed to cite my sources upfront (which was truly silly of me since every paper I have written since middle school has required citations). Anyway, I rewrote it, cleaned it up, and cited my sources, but I was wondering if what I changed was enough. I found reputable sources, but I want to make sure that this time I did everything correctly. Melissaanderson (talk) 18:00, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello, could you please undelete Roland Mohrmann to User:Stuartbarnes/Roland Mohrmann? I've had a request from its creator at User talk:Gurt Posh#deletion nomination of Roland Mohrmann, and it seems I flagged it for speedy in haste. Thanks, Gurt Posh (talk) 05:01, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Concerning this edit, I don't think "In Morse theory,..." sufficiently informs the lay reader that mathematics is what the article is about. "In number theory,..." is OK, so is "In geometry,..." or "In algebra,..." or "In calculus,...", but non-mathematicians don't generally know what Morse theory is. Sometimes such context-setting phrases are not needed because the title of the article gives that information, but more often they should be there. Michael Hardy (talk) 22:45, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Kinu, last year you were a "delete" vote for this article that resulted in no consenus. I don't want to do anything unorthodox or improper, but wanted to invite you to visit the 2nd attempt at an AfD to see if you might want to vote again this year. Just to bring it to your attention, it is located HERE Thanks. Austex • Talk 23:58, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello. You blocked a IP the other day, and due to his continuing vandalism, I went to his page to warn him. Another editor already did that. While there, the user made a nasty comment related to you. I went ahead and removed, but did want to inform you. Hope I didn't over step any boundaries. Anyway, just wanted to inform you. All the best! America69 (talk) 01:28, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Kinu, Thanks for stepping in to remind User talk:Herbolzheim of his responsibilities. He has chosen to ignore my polite advice and has posted some ridiculous comments on my Talk Page. Cheers Tmol42 (talk) 21:34, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

They are not ridiculous Kinu. I can paste them if you wish - the guy is pompous beyond belief. He has removed his own texts which are insulting. But my main point is that "Lillywhites" is archaic. Nobody sings "We are the Lillywhites!" or "Let's get the Lillywhites!" or "I'm proud to be a Lillywhite." We always say Spurs or Yids. Lillywhites is something older fans who read the Daily Telegraph may say. Ask any Spurs fan. Herbolzheim (talk) 23:13, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

  • Actually, you don't seem to be engaging in any constructive discussion yet. Your actions have consisted of edit warring, inappropriately editing editors' talk page archives, and the such... I'm glad you (finally) posted on the talk page of the article after being warned about it (and threatening to report me for who-knows-what, which is beyond ridiculous considering I was doing you a favor and making sure you wouldn't get blocked for edit warring), but your comments have continued to consist of information that doesn't help your case. Ad hominem attacks and posting your biography is no substitute for discussion of any actual sources you might have about this subject and the like. Cross-posting the same content over and over again on multiple users' talk pages isn't useful, either, so please don't paste it here again. Have a discussion on the talk page of the article and go from there. That's all I will say. --Kinu t/c 23:24, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

I haven't posted a biography - I am not conceited or interesting enough. In response to criticism that is high-handed and snobby, I have just pointed out credentials that apply in this case, and asked why Tmo142 thinks he knows more about Spurs than me and the rationale for maintaining what I regard as incorrect information on nicknames. In return I get dismissive rudeness, and threats, and he goes around involving others, saying that I am a vandal and a three strike reverter. It is not a question of sources in this case as it is true that Lillywhites is archaic and that Yids is used far more frequently by fans. Ask any Tottenham fan, or fan of another team. The nickname most frequently used by the press is Spurs - even they don't say "Lillywhites" although they are good at keeping old nicknames alive. I gather that it is a question of the appropriateness of mentioning the words Yids in the nickname section; my contention is that it is because it offends nobody and it is a fact and facts are what encyclopaedias are about. Shall I write to the Board of British Jews and get their opinion? I am serious. Herbolzheim (talk) 09:07, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
