Deletion review for Aleksandrs Čekulajevs edit

Biruitorul edit

Biruitorul implied that your IQ is low, and I figured I'd let you know. --Madmans stone (talk) 20:10, 18 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

He may have meant that his own edits were responsible for the perceived change. Who knows? --Michig (talk) 20:26, 18 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
Who indeed? Meanwhile, let me note that Madmans stone, like earlier incarnations Ondskan2 and Redroom2, is a sockpuppet of banned User:Anittas. (Note the pattern of stalking me, Dahn and Anonimu.) It would be prudent to block him and strike his two votes in deletion discussions. - Biruitorul Talk 20:37, 18 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

In Connection with the Artist Da'Ville edit

Hello Michig,

I am assisting the Artist Da’ville (Singer) to update his Wikipedia page – Da’ville wrote the bio himself, plus amended some other data which was incorrect, for example the record company names etc., plus he sent me a new photo that he wished to be uploaded and used. I sent an email to wiki admin confirming copyright and legality of the photograph; I received positive confirmation of my request. I have rechecked Da’ville’s Wikipedia page and I have noticed that you have amended the page back to the old version, where the details including bio is incorrect? I have reinstated the correct version and I would respectfully request that you allow the correct content to remain! If you require confirmation from the artist himself then please contact me Paul_Tandy@hotmail.com and I will pass his contact details over to you!

Sincere best wishes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paultandy (talkcontribs) 07:01, 25 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Replied here. --Michig (talk) 17:02, 25 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your reply, just for re-clarification, the source of the information updated was from the artist himself and not my personal view! Clearly you prefer none bonafide information rather than from the person whose life is being written about? The image you continue to use is an old image and for this reason I requested and had approved from Wikipedia admin to use, I would ask that you would kindly reinstate this image please. Also, I note that you have removed Daville’s Date of birth? Daville himself confirmed to me that his DOB on the old version was incorrect? I understand that some of the new content could be seen as self-publication; therefore I agree that maybe some of the content was outside of Wikipedia rules - That said a lot of the new content which you have removed was correct information. If the information being supplied is by the very person himself, then I am therefore miffed as to why you continue to disbelieve the new content supplied. Once again in the interest of the truth, I would ask you to email me so I can provide you the contact person who will confirm that some of the information you persist to allow to go public is incorrect? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paultandy (talkcontribs) 19:08, 28 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Information needs to be verifiable and sourced. If you have any specific issues with the article as it is, please discuss them on the article's talk page (Talk:Da'Ville). Thanks. --Michig (talk) 11:46, 29 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sacrifice (band) edit

Hello! I saw that you removed the PROD from Sacrifice (band). It appears that you are an expert (or at least very knowledgable) in the subject area, and I won't bother with taking the article to AfD. However, I am frustrated that the article has existed for over a year without any sourcing; and that you gave information in your edit summary that I have been unable to verify. It may very well be that Sacrifice is notable and meets WP:NBAND per item #5 (two or more albums on a major label), but outside of Allmusic I have been completely unable to verify even that.

Would you consider revisiting the article and providing some RS if you have them? I don't really have an interest in starting to remove the unsourced material, but there is contentious material there. Thanks for your consideration, and Happy Editing! --Tgeairn (talk) 17:54, 5 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'll see what I can do. Might have time this evening otherwise will look at it tomorrow.--Michig (talk) 20:09, 5 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Guns 'N Roses edit

Hey there, do you have any Stone Roses bios on hand? How are their quality, reliability, sourcing, and comprehensiveness? I bought an issue of Q lately with the Roses on the cover, and the cover story was written by someone with a new bio about the band coming out that sounded pretty thorough. WesleyDodds (talk) 13:20, 12 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've got John Robb's book (The Stone Roses and the Resurrection of British Pop) which is pretty good - a lot of it's first hand, and it covers the early history quite well, although Robb is quite close to the band so it perhaps puts a more positive slant on some of the things that went on than others might, but he has an insight that someone simply sifting through old sources wouldn't have. It looks like his new book from earlier this year is an update on this. Mick Middles and Simon Spence also have books on the Roses out recently (I think the Q article was by Spence), but I don't have either - not a fan of the band to be honest. I started working through the Stone Roses article using the John Robb book as a source but gave up at about the release of the first album (The Stone Roses rather than the dire Garage Flower) for several reasons. --Michig (talk) 13:47, 12 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Bark Bark Bark edit

  The Original Barnstar
Great work finding the sources for Bark Bark Bark. That inspired me to take another look through the Interwebs where I found a couple decent write-ups on Jacob Cooper/Safari. I also agree with your suggestion to rename the article so that it incorporates his previous bands/projects. For this, and all of your excellent contributions to AfD, I want to thank you with this barnstar!  Gongshow Talk 06:31, 4 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. And thanks for digging deeper into the subject in question - hopefully we'll end up with a reasonable article at the end of this. It's a constant challenge to get editors to look beyond the current state of articles and to consider options other than deletion, and it's always good when people are prepared to change their mind, so thanks for that as well.--Michig (talk) 18:31, 4 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Yep, I know what you mean. Two of my favorite lines I've seen around here are "Unsourced ≠ Unsourceable" and "Redirects are cheap". Cheers,  Gongshow Talk 20:07, 4 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Re:September edit

Well just delete the disreputable sources then, no need to undo a good article like that. That's vandalism and if it keeps up I will have no choice but to report you to a higher authority. K. (talk) 21:41, 8 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

I sincerely suggest you take it to the talk page if you dispute those sources. Sure they're not all reputable but I'm pretty sure most of them, the CD inlays & Tanya herself are reputable enough to know that it's Stephenson. K. (talk) 21:47, 8 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

I feel I've done all I can here - User:Djjazzyb simply isn't listening. It is completely unacceptable to replace a properly sourced BLP with an article full of unsourced statements and citations to sites like iTunes, discogs, rateyourmusic, and the German Wikipedia. If you really want to help you could restore the article to the last good version. --Michig (talk) 22:19, 8 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
You added a Refimprove tag to the article, but the version before Djjazzyb started editing it was properly referenced. --Michig (talk) 22:53, 8 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yes. What led me here was that I saw it in RecentChanges, and observed there was a long string of references that didn't seem to make much sense; thus my tag. I hadn't looked at the page history at that point. Kerfuffler (talk) 23:06, 8 September 2012 (UTC)Reply


Could you please make your way to Talk:Tanya Stephens ASAP as I really wish to resolve the whole Stephens/Stephenson issue. I would also like to apolagise personally for being immature yesterday. I can see that you do a good job here, and you have improved the Tanya Stephens article quite a bit since yesterday. K. (talk) 04:09, 10 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Disastrous? That's a bit harsh, I'm listening to it now & I love it. Lol.

User:99.99.174.248 and Wikijustice2013 edit

Hi Michig. You warned User:99.99.174.248 about disruptive editing.[1] I believe they are the sockpuppet of Wikijustice2013, who has been copy/pasting the same "vote" and comment in many AfDs. I put a comment into all those AfDs to make editors aware of what's going on. By the way, the two editors both "voted" in this Afd for Kik Tracee. --76.189.97.91 (talk) 21:04, 10 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Could you help me out please? edit

Hey, I'm writing an article for Barrington Levy's Love The Life You Live album, and I'm having a really hard time finding the release date as all the sources point to a different date (I've seen '87 - '93). Any other info you can find on it would be deeply appreciated also, thanks, K. (talk) 01:43, 12 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have two books which say 1988, but I believe that the original release was on the Time 1 label, and you can see here that on the label it says 1989. The French issue on Blue Moon also has 1989 on the label. It has been reissued since, e.g. by VP Records, but I think 1989 was the first release. They wouldn't say published 1989 if it had been released earlier. The infobox should reflect the original release - in this case 1989 and Time 1/Blue Moon.--Michig (talk) 06:07, 12 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Will try to take a look this evening. Just Michig (talk) 06:10, 13 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
Have had a look but aside from brief mentions in The Rough Guide to Reggae and The Virgin Encylopedia of Reggae which don't say much about him beyond his similarity to Horace Andy and the fact that he recorded for Glen Brown and Bullwackie, I didn't find much. There's This, and this shows him at #2 in a reggae chart, but there's not enough on view to tell much about it. Hopefully something will turn up. A bit of general advice - it's best to find at least 2 or 3 good sources before you create an article because new articles without enough sources tend to get tagged for deletion. --Michig (talk) 18:32, 13 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks you, I was originally gonna do I Roy but I couldn't find anything at all about him. So I went to the WP:REGGAE section to see what other articles needed creating and I saw Wayne Jarrett, I couldn't resist as my last name is also Jarrett. K. (talk) 18:49, 13 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Notable '80s bands without articles edit

I see you have a pile of redlinks to these on User:Michig/ToDo List (which I found 'cos Chakk, which I just started, is linked off it). I concur with pretty much the whole list. The trouble is, of course, that history started in 1995 and the only sources for these bands are that "paper" stuff that primitive prehistoric humanoids used. I left my NME archive in Australia, and it got eaten by silverfish anyway. So where would we start on tracking down someone who actually still has all their old music papers, and wouldn't object to a bunch of Wikipedians fondling them? I wonder if the deposit libraries have them - David Gerard (talk) 10:57, 13 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

I can't remember now what I did with my old NME, Sounds, and Melody Makers, but I don't have them any more. I know the library service where I live used to get weekly music papers in every week. Whether they continued to store them somewhere, in an era where council buildings are being sold off and cuts made across the board, I doubt. Most on my todo list are bands that I do have sources for, generally in books that cover the era (e.g. Strong's Discography books or Larkin's Encyclopedia of Popular Music and its derivatives), but haven't got round to doing yet. There's always Rocksbackpages.com, but that seems to have an annoying (but understandable) habit of concentrating on bands and artists that have maintained interest levels over the years. It would be great if these old music papers could be digitized and made available online, but until that happens, it's going to be relatively difficult (bit not impossible) to create those article. I'll see what I can find on Chakk to add to the article. --Michig (talk) 11:27, 13 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
I've added what I can. I seem to remember, by the way, that there's a template to go on the talk page of articles that have been mentioned in newspapers. --Michig (talk) 12:41, 13 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Prod tagging edit

I noticed you were a bit upset over some Prods that User:Wikipedical made on some articles.

Have a look at his [history]. He just went and tagged, in about 40 minutes, approximately 100 articles for deletion. I'm concerened he hasn't even read them. The prods also give editors like me barely any time to go through these articles and fix them up in a reasonable amount of time. Now I'm worried they're going to be deleted. Some of the prods I noticed right away are ridiculous, like for people who earned various prestigious national awards.

What should be done about this?? --Jethro B 02:50, 14 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Certainly not good. From a previous spree several went to AfD after being declined, and I am also concerned by the AfD contributions of vcessayist ([4]) which show a similar pattern of making dozens of decisions in a very short space of time. --Michig (talk) 05:12, 14 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
What do you recommend be done? ANI? Is it bad behavior, or just problematic? --Jethro B 18:05, 14 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
I think that depends on whether they do the same again. Some of those prods were not even close to being in the 'assumption of good faith' area. I left a message on their talk page. It really depends on what they do now. --Michig (talk) 18:46, 14 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
Ok thanks. Also, did you deprod all the articles, or only some? I would've deprodded them myself, but wanted to make sure it was a legit action. Thank you so much though, it's really helpful. --Jethro B 20:04, 14 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
I deprodded all but a few. Most were obviously inappropriate. With some the notability wasn't clear from the article but a Google News/Books search showed that they were notable. A few looked prod-worthy, which you might expect from an indiscriminate prodding spree. --Michig (talk) 20:08, 14 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Welt (band) edit

Allmusic does not convey nobility as it lists music for *everybody*.

You said reliable refs were found, please add them to the article. While nobody does it, addressing the concerns in the article should be done, like adding refs. Bgwhite (talk) 21:15, 1 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Allmusic doesn't 'list music for *everybody"'. I'm sure they would like to think their data is comprehensive, but I could name hundreds of bands not covered there. As a reliable source, significant coverage there (such as the bio and several reviews for Welt) does convey notability (I think that's what you meant) - a mere listing of releases (which is all it has for many artists) wouldn't. Yes, I will try to add references at some point. Not now though as it's late and I'm busy. --Michig (talk) 21:24, 1 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Another good find! It's a shame more of the magazines from that era are not available via the web.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tanseer Saji edit

I think you should do a tad more investigating first. Bgwhite (talk) 05:33, 19 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Would have been really helpful if someone had expressed doubts about the truth of the article rather than just a lack of individual notability. --Michig (talk) 07:01, 19 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yea, I know. I didn't catch he was 15-years old until somebody mentioned it. I read what I wrote and it didn't come out right. Sorry for insinuating anything. I meant you should re-investigate the AfD because of the age information and it didn't come out that way. Again, I'm sorry. Bgwhite (talk) 07:34, 19 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Question edit

A question on notability was asked at my talk page. I did a redirect of a band member to the band. Could you take a look at User talk:Bgwhite#Jeremiah Fraites and give your opinion. Bgwhite (talk) 23:03, 19 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

The MST Land edit

Hello! It appears that I added project banners to the talk page for this article, at the same time that you were deleting the article!

No problem. Done. Thanks. --Michig (talk) 20:35, 25 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

REGARDING Dakota (musician) edit

This article has been created, and used correctly following wiki's guidelines. It was created by myself who is a fan and wanted to give accurate details about their fellow Chicago artist. There are ACCURATE cites, yes all of which are blogs, but they are straight from the artists page or pages with notable credibility. This page has only been edited by one member because of the validity of the sources and to my knowledge, there is not much info that must be changed except minor edits. I have followed all of Wiki's guidelines, rules, and provided accurate and quality information that people have been searching the internet for. This page should NOT have been deleted. I will have more accurate information to provide. Please reconsider your decision. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCANNON123 (talkcontribs) 16:47, 28 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

(talk page stalker)Since the article you are here about was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dakota (musician), it cannot be undeleted. Nevertheless, if you believe that the consensus found at the discussion was in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user Michig (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review.--Orange Mike | Talk 16:57, 28 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Per the above, the decision to delete this article was reached by the community in the AfD discussion. The consensus there was unanimously in favour of deletion. Blogs are generally not accepted as sources and an article needs to be supported by sources that are considered reliable (see Wikipedia:Reliable sources). The relevant guideline that spells out generally accepted inclusion criteria for music-related subjects can be found at Wikipedia:Notability (music). For a relatively new artist who hasn't yet had commercial success, you will need to find examples of significant coverage in reliable sources (usually newspapers, print magazines, books, professional websites, etc.) for an article to be kept. I'm sorry that the article that you worked on has been deleted, and I hope it hasn't put you off contributing further. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Regards. --Michig (talk) 18:34, 28 November 2012 (UTC)Reply


Thank you, I will create a more reliable article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCANNON123 (talkcontribs) 07:50, 29 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
