Deletion of new page
I want to contest the Speedy deletion of the article i created: UK Climate Change and Migration Coalition. It is true that it is an article about an organisation, and that it therefore must be an organization notable enough to warrant an entry in Wikipedia. I do also accept that at the point of deletion there was not sufficient information in article to justify the entry. However, I had not anticipated the speed at which the speedy deletion would take place (the name should have been a give away I guess). I had reviewed the criteria determining notoriety and felt that the organization justified an entry. I had also looked through how such notoriety can be explained in the article. My plan was to return to the article the next day and make edits doing this. My plan was to add reference to a number of publications produced, media coverage and recognition from other institutions. I also planned to make edits further emphasising the fact that it is the only organization of its type. I should have said this in the talk section of the page - but because I'm new I didn't. For these reasons I am requesting that the speedy deletion is revoked and that I have a chance to make the proposed edits that I believe make the entry worthwhile.PaperGoldFish (talk) 19:59, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

List of breakout characters
Hi. I have reverted your edit to List of breakout characters, because, as I'm sure you konw, Wikipedia cannot accept uncited material or original research. Having amassed over 32,000 edits since 2004, you should know this by now. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 17:39, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
- "Correction: Wikipedia can accept uncited material and original research; you of all people must know that since like me you've been editing for a decade. The difference is that like me, you will not accept uncited or poorly cited information in the article because it detracts from Wikipedia's quality by leaving uncited material and original research."
- Wikipedia does not accept original research. That explicitly indicated by WP:NOR.
- "If absolutely every page on here had no uncited information and no original research we wouldn't need start or stub class articles, or any dispute resolution processes since all the information on every article all over the site would be verified and within the established and accepted research boundaries on site, right?"
- I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you're trying to say here. We do not need start or stub-class articles because of original research. In fact, we do not "need" start or stub-class articles at all, since they are permissable, but not necessary. Start or stub-class articles appear simply because many editors choose to begin articles in that state. But they are more than free to start articles in a higher class if they want, since nothing is stopping them from doing so. This version of the Lucio Fernandez article, for example, was its very first version, and as you can see, it was not created as a stub or star-class article. Either way, the solution for stub or start-class articles is to add citation-supported material to them, rather than original research.
- And in any event, what does the state of newly-created articles have to do with the presence of original research or uncited material on ones already in existence??
- As to Aircraft in fiction, you are more than able to add whatever tags or banners are needed to it, since it is not my job to patrol all 5 million articles on Wikipedia. Take care. Nightscream (talk) 23:11, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
- I was misunderstood, so let me try again. Unsourced material is present in nearly every article, since as you put it its not our job to patrol all 5 million articles, and since anyone can edit the material finds its way in. If every article had all citations in all needed fields all of the time editors and admins wouldn't really be needed.
- Non sequitur. Editors are needed to create articles, expand them, proofread/copyedit them, review them for status promotion, discuss ways to improve them, addressed questions or problems with them, resolve disputes pertaining to them, etc. And indeed, they would have more time to do these things if each individual editor included citations with the material they added to articles. I certainly would have more time to perform other WP tasks if I didn't have to perform such labor-intensive cleanup tasks on articles like that one.
- You seem to have a very narrow view of what an editor does if you think editors' sole job is to add citations to uncited material.
- While we permit certain material that is unsourced, it is frowned on and therefore such material is always subject to removal at any time from any article by any editor. Same is true of OR material - whether added in good faith or not, some of it stays simply because no one pulls it out.
- Which does not mean that therefore, ipso facto, it is "permitted". The fact that a rule is routinely ignored left and right (which is a serious problem on Wikipedia) does not mean that the rule doesn't exist, and that therefore the addition of OR/uncited material is "permitted". If it were, then what we would infer from this argument of yours is that "X is permitted if it occurs". I'm going to go out on a limb that you don't really believe that.
- But if you acknowledge that there are indeed policies with which I'm bringing articles in line (as you stated), then you're indicating that those policies do not permit such material.
- Regarding the banner, it does not matter if an editor works on one of the TV projects, Tom. No editor has any more authority on editorial matters regarding an article than any other editor. What matters is what the rationale was that that other editor offered when he/she reverted your edit, what policies, guidelines, consensus or principle of good writing he/she cited, etc. If you felt that his/her rationale was wrong, then you could've challenged it.
- No apologies necessary, and it's been nice talking with you. I wish more of my interactions with other editors were like this, even the instances of disagreement. :-) Nightscream (talk) 23:52, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
Quantone
Dear TomStar81, I'm writing to ask you to kindly restore the newly created page "Quantone" which I created last Friday. You deleted it after it was flagged for speedy deletion, after which I had made several changes to try and make it both neutral and more informative (apologies, I'm new to Wiki). I created the page in order to update an existing page "Decibel (company)" which is now out of date because the company has changed it's name. Because of this it would seem important that the new page is available to redirect to to avoid confusion. Or better to say:
デシベルは クワントーンに なりました
This haiku translates as "Decibel became Quantone".
There has been a page on the company since 2011, and it is also listed on the Music Databases page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_online_music_databases), which lists 41 companies that provide music data in some way. I think it is right that the company should keep it's place on wikipedia, as well as this list, as it provides an important service to music and media companies. This is particularly true now that there are only two large companies in the market (of the list, this is Spotify and Gracenote). You could even say,
Choked by their choice, The music industry gasps For better data.
The current project using IBM Watson is also of notable interest as it makes Quantone the first company (that I am aware of) to use cognitive computing systems in the music industry.
If there are any tips you could give me on the flaws in the article I would be happy to fix them. I look forward to your response and advice.
Thank you,

Re: Quantone
Dear TomStar81, so sorry that my comment ended up on the wrong user page! I followed the link from your guide on deletions, so maybe the link has surreptitiously been corrupted with passing time.
Since I wrote you last I figured out that the Move request was the right thing to do, so I filed it, and everything now seems to be working properly. As a result, I left most of the old content, just updating it to reflect the change of name and recent activities as referenced in the article. However, the title is still Quantone (company) as I followed the existing Decibel article, which may have been wrong. If this needs an administrative fix I would be really appreciative of your changing it!
Lastly, I am employed by the company, though not in a PR capacity. If you think there's anything that isn't properly referenced or in any way biased I'll pick it up straight away. I'm just very relieved that we've managed to update the page. Thank you for your help! Will.langstone (talk) 17:29, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Tom- I nominated a page on Blank Banshee for a speedy earlier, you removed it & I noted that you added the name to a protected list due to repeated recreations. Well, it's back, apparently with a slight change in how it was typed in order to get around the protection. I've nominated the new one for a speedy, wanted to let you know because of the protection issue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blank_Banshee JamesG5 (talk) 07:47, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

Military dates
Hmm, I see what you're saying now. Thank you for pointing that out. I wasn't aware that there was an exception in the rules for military articles. Personally, I don't think that exception should exist, but you are absolutely correct that I should seek broader input from the editing community on this issue. I will refrain from changing dates in any military articles until I do so. Rreagan007 (talk) 04:58, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of article Lagerstein
Hi TomStar81, I am just wanting some further information on why the page I created, Lagerstein, was deleted? I was in the process of filling it with relevant information because it is about my band.
Edit. They are the 2nd LArgest band in their genre and are about to make a 2nd European tour. The criteria was they aren't relevant. They are mentioned on a few pages but no page existed to link to the mentionings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Banserki (talk • contribs) 05:43, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

This article is about Siya Ke Ram TV serial whose full name is Maryada Purushottam Siya Ke Ram which is airing on Star Plus from 16th November 2015. @ 8 Pm Monday to Friday. The references given are good enough. You can check on Internet or by watching the show on Star Plus at 8pm Monday to Friday in India. This show is based on Ramayana. This is a genuine article.

Hi. I know and understand why you page protected the above article due to edit warring and content dispute. But may I respectfully ask why you sealed off the article after an arbitrary edit by User:Peacemaker67, deleting sourced text which I added, thus permitting a contested and, IMO, biased, narrative to remain until next May, rather than an earlier uncontested version? The edit summary by @Peacemaker67 is disingenuous at best. You need merely look at the article's talk page to see that I engaged with him at length and responded to his points and actions in writing. The reference to a quote by Dr. MacDonald, an edit he originally welcomed (with the word "bravo"), thus moving the goalposts, is especially disingenuous as I did not understand the point he was making and in any event he deleted the MacDonald quote in its entirety, which I did not then dispute. His arrogance and chauvinism should not be rewarded (please see [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]). His own comments ("what I am ok with") display a clear delusion of article ownership which should be discouraged rather than tolerated or even encouraged. In any event, I opened an RFC here.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

ABA Bank page: consider undeletion
Hello TomStar81, my name is Igor and you deleted the page that I created (Advanced Bank of Asia Ltd.) :-) I just wanted to get some explanation from you, if you don't mind. First of all, I would like to clarify why the article about the bank is considered as not notable. If so, why do other bank pages still exist? This one, for instance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vattanac_Bank
It also has no notable information, but exists on Wiki.
Also, I was informed there was a problem with COI, since I am the employee of ABA. I disclosed it on my UserPage now, so will it help avoid blocking (deleting) the bank page?
I will really appreciate your help as an experienced editor of Wikipedia. I am a newcomer here and cannot understand all the limitations of the resource so far :) Thank you very much.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your reply. If I understand you correctly then the main issue is that she lacks credible source to reward wins. But how about this one: http://oktavita.com/ayu-citra-donna-charlies-angels-st12.htm ?
It is a link that demonstrates that she won a major TV singing competition.
Also, Dona was the lead singer of one of the most popular bands in Indonesia, STINKY. Here is the link: http://musik.kapanlagi.com/berita/vokalis-baru-stinky-lebih-fresh-lebih-seksi-f391d0.html
What is the solution? Shall I delete some of the latest mentions of her tour in Vietnam and Thailand but leave the earlier sources with evidence that is credible?
Or why don't you delete the parts that you think are not suitable and leave the ones that you think are strong enough?
Thanks a lot for your help. Hope to have this issue solved soon.
Best Regards,
Nick

Hello,
If in all my innocence I have misposted, I believe I merit forgiveness. I am attempting a merge of two articles, for the good of WP. If you know of a forum I missed where I might post please advise me. It's regrettable that you did not see fit to repost my request instead of deleting it.
And speaking of hurt feelings, as you do above...arbitrarily deleting something like this without even consulting the editor responsible sure can lead to hurt feelings.Georgejdorner (talk) 06:19, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

deletion of article Athens Digital Arts Festival
Hi Tom!
I hope you are doing well! I am sending you this message with regards to kindly ask you for some info and tips in order to improve my article. As a new member in Wikipedia, at first I didnt know much on how to create an article, so I did some mistakes regarding sources and footnotes. Now, after trying hard, writing and re-writing the article, everything seems to be ok, unless that the article seemed orphan. I also corrected this error by linking my article in other articles , where it was mentioned.
It is such a shame that, although Athens Digital Arts Festival is mentioned in other articles about media/digital arts festivals, it cannot have its own page where the public could be informed about it. There are so few sources about contemporary arts, so I think it would be nice to reveal the developments of the field to a broader audience.
I have also checked the wiki pages of other festivals , such as transmediale, and they seem similar to ours, even with less sources.
I would be grateful if you would be able too help me improve and publish my article.

You are welcome to protest my decision at Wikipedia:Deletion review, or alternatively you can attempt to recreate the article again. Note that new articles created these days are generally tagged for speedy deletion quickly, therefore you may wish to use the draft space to recreate the article if that is what you decide to do.

"Punish them all to ferret out the guilty party" is not a practical approach
Re: I usually take an all or nothing approach to these matters - meaning either everyone gets disadvantaged in the arena or no one gets censored - as such an approach usually lets me gauge who the problem people are. Often, but not always, its the people who complain the loudest when being locked out of articles who are the most disruptive editors.
This approach is not going to serve you, innocent editors, articles, or thus our readers well at all. I for one would object strenuously to being shut out of a topic even if I were not much involved in it at all, just on general principle. Lighting everyone on fire and deciding that whoever screams the loudest is the real witch is not a valid approach to justice, and no one would pass RfA who disclosed that they'd apply the tools with such a methodology. In particular, I think you're failing to account for the fact that any negative administrative attentions will be WP:GAMEd against innocent recipients of them by later PoV-pushers and such, to paint good editors in a bad light. I struggle with this effect every week, and it's almost enough to make me quit the project (I actually did leave for a whole year because of it, other than a few check-in edits in response to direct e-mails, and have left again for 1-3 months at a time several times since then, specifically to get away from such gaming-based hostility). Giving random people blocks, topic-bans, or even unwarranted administrative warnings, in some effort to figure out which one actually deserves the punishment, is not helpful. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 08:53, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Reason to keep "ThirdEye Photographic Society" page in wiki
This Society is registered from the Office of the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms of Bangladesh under the societies registration ACT XXI of 1860. By this Act it is authorized Society which must be "Non Government, Non profitable, Non political, voluntary and charitable organisation". If you access the website link " http://www.roc.gov.bd/acts/societies_registrationact1860.html " you will find the law related to a registered society, which will clear your doubt about "ThirdEye Photographic Society" being a non profit organisation. If you want, we can provide you document related to our registration and approval as non profit organization. From this society, we do not make any profit of any sorts, all our members are working completely voluntary basis; for the improvement of photography sector in Bangladesh. If you follow our web site and Facebook pages and groups, you will find we do not, make any profits or make any commercial activities, which will eventually need advertisements. Our website link is: http://www.thirdeye-creations.com/ or http://www.tpsbd.org/main/. As you can see we are also making transition from our initial website of .com in to .org site, which will also verify our practice and purpose of being non profit and charitable entity. Our Facebook Page is: https://www.facebook.com/thirdeye.photographic.society/?ref=bookmarks and our Facebook group is: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ThirdEye.Photography.Society/?ref=bookmarks. From the beginning, we are carrying out non profit or charitable activities for the Under privileged children and cold wave victims of Bangladesh. The sources of our expenditure are strictly from the member's contribution and the sponsor's only, which is clearly defined; for non profit and charitable purposes only. May I therefore request you to verify the above statement from the presented sources and allow this page to be in a prestigious platform like Wikipedia. Syed Shakhawat Kamal202.59.135.1 (talk) 11:46, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
- The problem is that the article reads like it has a vested interest in promoting the company as opposed to reporting on the company. The sources are all company based (in violation of our third party sources) and facebook, twitter, myspace, instagram, etc are not considered reliable sources for an article except under very very specific circumstances. I'm not contesting that the article has merit to be here, what we are contesting is that the article needs some major rebuilding in order to meet the criteria to remain here without being the victim of drive by deletion tagging. My recommendation under the circumstances would be to build the article in the articles for creation pen. In that pen articles that are judged to have potential for inclusion can be continuously rebuilt until they reach a point where they can remain on Wikipedia. From where I sit, that would be the best option for the article at present. TomStar81 (Talk) 22:59, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi!
The page I was working on was deleted pretty quickly after I started working on it. I simply was not finished with the page yet. How long do I have to update the page before it gets deleted? I was hoping when a page was created I'd have at least a week to figure it out.
Hoping you can undelete the page so I can continue working on it and get it up to snuff for the guidelines you are requesting!
Yes if you could restore it to the user page I can upload it when it's ready! Thanks so much.

Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/January 30
I won't WP:WHEEL but there was a reason that ship image was commented out - it was a non-free image that fails WP:NFCC #8 and #9 and thus was removed. - The Bushranger One ping only 05:23, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- @The Bushranger: Oh. I didn't know that when I put it back in, I just assumed that someone had screwed up again by adding (pictured) and then not putting in a picture. Gotta get'em both, otherwise folks assume there is an error. My solution was to re-add the image — mistakenly, as it turns out — but if there had been no caption I would not assumed that someone had forgotten to put the image in. Sorry, that was legitimately my bad :/ TomStar81 (Talk) 07:04, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Kirov-class
Hi, to be blunt, this revert of yours makes no sense. Of course the Kirovs "ain't" American, but they certainly do have something in common with the ships in the article I linked to... they are cold war-era nuclear powered naval cruisers, a somewhat of a rare item. One might think that someone reading one page, just might be interested in the other. Isn't that what the "see also" section is for? Now, I suppose I could ask you what policy you're relying on here, or I could perhaps list some others articles with similar (if not identical) links in their "see also" sections, but how about we agree like gentlemen to not waste each others time and you just revert that edit back in? Cheers - theWOLFchild 11:19, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Thewolfchild:<sigh> Never edit when everyone wants your attention because I guarantee you that it will make you misread all manner of things. In this case I read your addition as one of "category" as opposed to "see also", which then of course explains my revert and summary since you wouldn't add a US category for a Russian/Soviet ship class. I've reverted myself, since I am clearly in the wrong here, and I offer you my apologies for the error and for the slowness in getting back to you (if your like me, you do appreciate a prompt reply). I will try and be more careful about reverting such edits in the future. TomStar81 (Talk) 09:14, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of page entry "Plutora"
Hello Sir,
I would like to know on what specific grounds the entry I wrote was deleted. If there's something I can add/change about the page to make it stick, that would go a long way to nursing my bruised ego back to health.
Many thanks,
Ilan Y Mintz (talk) 18:24, 5 March 2016 (UTC)Ilan Y Mintz
- First, thank you for you quick and exhaustive response. I very much appreciate it. I tried to address the reason's for initial deletion in my rewrite. I included two new third-party sources and only relied on the company's website for the location of its headquarters. (I hope it goes without saying that press releases were not in any way regarded as legitimate sources.) Still, the article was very similar to its predecessor. I understand that and accept your decision to delete. If you could restore the entry to the AFC sandbox, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again.
