The Zack Bazzi Article

I have done some basic work on the Zack Bazzi article, but it is far from complete. As I mentioned, I am not in a position to complete it myself. Others, including Zack, could add more details to the article and make it more informative. In the meantime, I feel I have included enough info to make the case for the notability of Zack. As such, I would like to invite you to re-examine the article and consider removing the "delete" tag. With14ever (talk) 10:39, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedied declined

Just a friendly note on a couple of your speedy deletion requests that I just declined. On Ann Maartmann, the article specifically said she's a popular singer, which is a claim of importance, so it's not eligible for an A7 speedy deletion. Prod or AfD would be the way to go on those. And tagging it for deletion 2 minutes after it was created is considered bitey by many Wikipedians.

On Zack Bazzi, the Keith Olbermann, BBC and NPR references are enough of a claim of importance to avoid speedy deletion. Again, prod or AfD is the way to go on this. Additionally, with a very new article like this (you tagged it for deletion 13 minutes after creation), doing a google search or google news search before tagging is helpful to see if there's hope for establishing notability. The gnews search shows this would probably survive an AfD discussion. HTH--Fabrictramp | talk to me 10:48, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Creation and deletion

Hi! I notice that you've jumped right in to Wikipedia in the deletion end of it. While there's nothing wrong with that per se, I strongly encourage you to spend some time building content first, so that you can gain a little better understanding of what is and is not valuable content, and how mediocre or unsourced content can be salvaged and improved. If you do insist on participating strictly through the removal of content, please be more thorough in investigating topics you are considering putting up for deletion. Your recent nomination Big Science as "original research" and "made up" belies the considerable body of scholarship on the topic; Google Scholar searches are a good first step to check up on science or humanities-related topics before assuming they are simply made up content.

Actually it seems you display some experience with WP policy not consistent with a novice. Is this your first account or is it a sockpuppet account. There are rules against sockpuppets. Please post a reply here.--OMCV (talk) 03:52, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

This is my only active account. StonerDude420 (talk) 14:46, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

So you have had previous accounts. Would you be kind enough to elaborate on your previous accounts so the rest of us can be reassured that you are not avoiding disciplinary actions on another account and develop a broader understanding of your editing patterns. At this point other editors have very little material to base our good faith. We can't tell if yourcurrent deletion nominations are recklessly ignorant (as suggest by ragesoss), simple vandalism, or a momentary lapse of other wise solid judgment. I hope its the latter. I would at the vary least appreciate an explanation as to why you have switched accounts. Since you are experience with WP I'm sure you understand my concern, thanks.--OMCV (talk) 04:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Zui Quan Article

We decided to split those articles because 1: There was such a massive amount of material in the Media section and 2: To dispel confusion between the martial art techniques in the "Zui Quan" category and the media appearances. You recently merged the popular culture article back into the main article without first discussing it on the talk page. Please allow for the articles to be separated again. Thank you for your time.
