Zoiper
editYesterday you deleted an article named Zoiper on the grounds that there is "No assertion of importance/significance". I would like to thank you for reviewing my article. I know that spam is surely a great nuisance and I can imagine how much useless stuff you need to wipe out during a single workday.
Now, I presume that a recognized site such as Wikipedia authorizes people of profound knowledge to decide which articles are worthy. That surely raises a couple of questions: Are you a VoIP expert? Are you in any way involved into Asterisk-related softphones? Are you aware that Zoiper is the second most popular independent SIP software phone (independent from service providers) and the most popular IAX softphone? Is this really not enough for Wikipedia users to be able to check some info in a reliable online encyclopedia about one of the fastest popularity-gaining software products in the VoIP world? Is there a way that you might consult the VoIP community about the importance of Zoiper? Because if Zoiper is not important, how come so many similar competition products, most of which less popular (BitWise IM, Abbeyphone, Coccinella, is-phone, Jabbin etc.) are allowed to stay in Wikipedia?
Please reconsider your positions concerning my article. I believe that people who are just interested in Zoiper as information would be pleased to view an article in a trusted online encyclopedia as Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoiper (talk • contribs) 07:53, August 30, 2007 (UTC)
Benn v Eubank
editThank you kindly for the whistle blowing. I wrote the article in a simple format, mere description in the style of a boxing review from any established boxing publication, not in 'poor tone'. I have since added what may be deemed 'a reliable source' to support my sentiments (though there are 15 million Britons among others who could), kindly withdraw your objection to the page I would not like to see it deleted having just written it. I would appreciate it, thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1fletch (talk • contribs) 16:10, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
Let's Eat
editYou recently deleted the wikipedia article on "Let's Eat", a meal preparation business based in Florida. I was merely following the lead of other meal prep businesses listed on wikipedia; since the business is unique (not a restaurant, not a shopping mart), I explained the business process. Other similar businesses are Dream Dinners, which I used as a template. If you felt the language was spam-ish, why instead of deleting, didn't you flag the language, flag the article, or edit the text to exclude it to only basics? Deleting it seems rash. Let me know what can be done to re-instate this topic.

Peter Bailey
editGreetings, Convicted murderer (of a young woman), paroled, released, rapes 12 year-old girl. Yes, there are other cases like this one. I would like to document them all, and place them in the catagory "Hawaii Murderers". Does that sound like a bad idea? HawaiiRegistry 00:32, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
To tell you the honest truth, unless the murders reached national media for a while, like the Laci Peterson case, they won't stand a chance in WP:AFD, as there has been thousands of murders every year and that will be noted, some good national sources will help (like the New York Times or CNN reporting on those murders, not only local media). I hope that helps. Jaranda wat's sup 00:35, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the rapid reply. There is no registry of convicted murderers in Hawaii, but I was attempting to create one, based on documented sources. Of course there is no national reporting of Hawaii's murders, so I would never be able to meet that criteria. Do you think it would be possible for me to create one WP article that lists every known person convicted of murder since statehood (1959)? HawaiiRegistry 00:39, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
There should be a few that could be in national media, you could always check in google, and also I don't see the harm of that list. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 00:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

It's also defining a completely new field, see http://www.anibotics.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/ma_proposal_15-03-07.pdf

Zdeněk Bažant
editi find your hasty deletion of the zdeněk bažant page precipitous. on its own, his status as one of the most highly regarded engineers in the world and someone elected to both the NAS and the NAE makes his biography encyclopedic material.
furthermore, his analysis of the structural collapse of the WTC is at the core of NIST's WTC report, which has brought him into the public eye. i plan to expand the article to summarize his analysis whle also adding citations for sources of the biographical information that i provided.

page deletion question
editHi, You "kindly" deleted my MicroMonitor page entry twice. I'm assuming it is because a book and a company website are mentioned (true?). These two items are mentioned because they are relevant to the topic. Micromonitor (something similar to Das uBoot, which has a Wikipedia page) originated in the mentioned book, and the *free* source code is available at the website of the mentioned company. If I remove the company and book reference, will that make this page legal? Edsut 23:37, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

another page deletion question
editMagic Crayon is a real brazilian indie-rock-pop band. As one of its original members i can ensure it. Wikipedia should include every possible article containing information on all branches of knowledge, shouldn't it? I am not an advanced internet user, i can't reproduce the deleted outlook page.

See WP:MUSIC Jaranda wat's sup 17:57, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
How can you (Wikipedia "masters") label indistinctly like this? Do you know the brazilian indie rock scene? Don't Wikipedia's users and readers deserve to know about it? Or isn't the brazilian indie-rock scene remarkable to Wikipedia? So if the band isn't famous in the USA or Europe or Australia Wikipedia considers it unremarkable... Shame on you! Now i see that Wikipedia isn't about informing people, it is about judging and electing - with ethnocentric methods (or just ignorance)... Well, i saw WP:MUSIC. Here we go: "A musician or ensemble is notable if has had a charted hit on any national music chart." (Criteria for musicians and ensembles, n.2) Are you kidding?! This is stupid! All the underground scenes around the world, aren't they notable or remarkable for Wikipedia? There's more than RIAA outside your windows... "A musician or ensemble is notable if has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country" (Criteria for musicians and ensembles, n.3) Worse! Music isn't (only) commerce, or at least not every notable musician needs to be certified gold to be considered notable. Come on, there are so many good exemples... The Velvet Underground never had a record certified gold. Do you know how notable are The Velvet Underground?!? Oh my god, i can't continue just because all these criteria are shameful. It seems that it was RIAA that wrote WP:MUSIC. For shame! Anyways, i can ensure you that the band Magic Crayon meets at least 3 items of your shameful criteria (items 1, 6 and 10)... --Waldenzanin 10:30, 26 August 2007 (UTC)—Preceding unsigned comment added by Waldenzanin (talk • contribs) 10:27, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

Article Deletion
editYour deletion of article on Turbobricks under the criteria of speedy deletion. The critera for deletion of groups reads, "Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject, neither directly nor by verifiable association with notable subjects. If controversial, or if there has been a previous deletion discussion that resulted in the article being kept, list the article at Articles for deletion instead."
With that being said, the moderators knowledge of a subject or lack there of is not a reason to freely remove content personally unremarkable. What would the moderator consider to be significant?
This is an article written on the subject from the NY Times dated March 4, 2005. http://www.swedishbricks.net/NYTimes030405/NYTimesArticle.html
On this subject, Volvo performance and maintainence, you will not find another resource able to make the claim of being, not for profit, no advertising or membership fees and soley run on contributions from members.
If necessary I can provide a list of other groups & orginizations with subjects on wikipedia, who can not make these same claims, that are allowed to keep and maintain the information listed.
If not I would like to see the actual criteria for something considered to be "significant". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robwing (talk • contribs) 15:46, August 27, 2007 (UTC)
One very trival mention doesn't equal an instant article. See WP:N and WP:V Jaranda wat's sup 15:49, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
This is contrary to what is stated in the wikipedia cotability pages provided.
From the page you provided Wikipedia:Notability, "Within Wikipedia, Notability is an article inclusion criterion based on encyclopedic suitability. The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice". This concept is distinct from "fame", "importance", or "popularity". A subject is presumed to be sufficiently notable if it meets the general notability guideline below, or if it meets an accepted subject specific standard listed in the table to the right.
These guidelines pertain to the suitability of article topics but do not directly limit the content of articles."
and this from page Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) "Simply stated, an organization is a group of more than one person formed together for a purpose. This includes commercial and non-commercial activities including, but not limited to, charitable organizations, educational institutions, institutions, interest groups, organizations, social clubs, companies, partnerships, proprietorships, religious denominations, sects, etc.
This guideline does not cover small groups of closely related people such as families, entertainment groups, co-authors, and co-inventors covered by WP:Notability (people).
Notable means "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice". It is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance". Please consider notable and demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education. Large organizations are likely to have more readily available verifiable information from reliable sources that provide evidence of notability; however, smaller organizations can be notable, just as individuals can be notable, and arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations."
This taken directly from information provided to me, how does a group with several thousand active members not constitiue importance?
Familys and small groups should be met by WP:BIO, is there any reliable sources at all that is not one word mentions or the group website, forums are under WP:WEB as well. 284 exact google hits aren't much for a forum with 2,000 members Jaranda wat's sup 16:14, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
In regard to web significance, this is only partially true, there are annual gatherings by regional members worldwide. Including, The US, Australia, UK and Sweden, among others.
By the criteria provided in Wikipedia:Notability (web), the acticle would be allowed if expanded to "describe the site in an encyclopedic manner, offering detail on a website's achievements, impact or historical significance", correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Robwing (talk • contribs) 16:32, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

editI was under the impression that Wiki wanted more information and other views, you may classify what happened to Musial's page as a "revert" but really let's call it what it is: a deletion. Maybe I was wrong in my view of a revert, maybe you can use it on more then just vandalisim, jibirish or obviously incorrect information.
Beyond the obvious information that belongs on his dad's page or mom's page, and information that DID NOT occur in his early life (Idol in St. Louis at age 19??, an honory member of a fraternal organization while in Donora?), to randomly take legit information that is properly classified and "revert" it away without a note or discussion isn't a practice you would appreciate I am sure. Please help me better understand why you feel his early life spans the 1960's but also the 1890's, but not who he played ball with during his early life. I guess I am also lacking in the wisdom of "reverting" away ligitimate--though not a personal favorite--information from wikiarticles, especially without a note or discussion.

Guideline suggestions
editIt is good that you've taken up the notability issue, I was hoping someone would. In a similar fashion, I have taken up the issue of how people use dates and wikilinks within infoboxes. There is nothing written so i started User:Jmfangio/Manual of Style (dates and numbers) a few days ago to work on the content. I have not added anything yet to it, but when done, i would like to get it moved to WP:DATE. There doesn't seem to be a lot of traction in getting widespread input so should i just do it and then "move the content" into wp:date?? or what? People love to argue over when to link date ranges in infoboxes but nobody wants to talk about establishing some "guidelines" for other users. I've marked this page for watching.

Assistance requested
editJaranda, I request your assistance in looking at the article Mexicans in Omaha, Nebraska. It appears the author would like to create other articles: "African Americans in Omaha, Nebraska and Greeks in Omaha, Nebraska, and plan to continue with a series that includes American Indians in Omaha, Czechs, Germans, Irish, Italians, Jews, Latinos, Poles, Scandavians, Sudanese, and Slovaks, all of which in Omaha." I can not believe there is anything notable to these articles, but these are topics that can engender strong passion on the part of editors.
My concern is though there may be some references for Mexicans in Omaha, I go back and forth on the question of notability. There is nothing unique about this/these ethnic divisions relative to Omaha, Nebraska. They exist just as they have existed in the ohter 18,000 cities in the United States. Some of the references used are broader in scope while two others are focused on Omaha. I think it would be best to merge all of these into the Omaha, Nebraska article, but I want to see how others might feel. I would appreciate your review. If this is something where action should be taken, I would hope to do it now before this single editor expends a great deal of effort. Thanks. --Storm Rider (talk) 23:41, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Check if you could merge them to a ethecity in Omaha article, if that fails, place an AFD tag on it, no reason why it needs it's own article. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 17:15, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Gah the person is creating everything he could find about Omaha, I managed to AFD the obvious List of articles related to Omaha, Nebraska one, but there is still more Omaha articles that doesn't meet notabilty out there. Jaranda wat's sup 18:09, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Larry Craig on ITN
editSorry I didn't notify you of this discussion before removing. I removed Larry Craig from ITN persuant to comments (mostly my own) at Template_talk:In_the_news#Larry_Craig. Please revert if there's something crucial I missed and/or contribute to the discussion. Thanks.--Chaser - T 21:05, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Small AfD request
editHi Jaranda, I've noticed that when you've been nominating articles for deletion, such as at 2006 Hawaii Bowl, you've been leaving out the standard template that forms the subheader underneath, such as:
{{REMOVE THIS TEMPLATE WHEN CLOSING THIS AfD|b}}
<div class="infobox" style="width:50%">AfDs for this article:<ul class="listify">{{Special:Prefixindex/Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eugene Armstrong}}</ul></div>
:{{la|Eugene Armstrong}} – <includeonly>([[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eugene Armstrong (2nd nomination)|View AfD]])</includeonly><noinclude>([[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2007 September 2#{{anchorencode:Eugene Armstrong}}|View log]])</noinclude>
which includes categorization and within-AfD navigation, as illustrated in the nomination above for Eugene Armstrong. It would be great if you could start including it for your nominations. Thanks! Eliz81(talk)(contribs) 21:49, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I need to update my monobook, I'm not the expert in that though, maybe another admin can help. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 22:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

editI agree that it would be too bad if it closed with no more comments. Why don't you ask User:Tony1. He seemed to like it. Just say on his page exactly what you said on the nomination page. Do you have an wiki friends (sports people) you could ask to check it out? Maybe a personal plea to User:SandyGeorgia as that user seems to over see FAC issues. --Mattisse 03:01, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- P.S. I really liked the article and I hardly know anything about baseball. I think you did a beautiful job. --Mattisse 03:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
DRV notification
editAn editor has asked for a deletion review of Star Trek versus Star Wars. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Balancer 04:20, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I notice that you have apparently speedied this article for a reason not among those provided in WP:CSD, "useless list, consensus exists for deletion" I agree it is a useless list, but that isn't a criterion. As the article has been re-created several times, perhaps you could undelete and send it to AfD.--this will have the advantage of preventing recreation. DGG (talk) 05:12, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
RFA
editI am sorry to have lost your support. I also regret somewhat having not asked for a nom, but I doubt it would have made a difference.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 23:08, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Request for patience
editI see that there is an edit conflict on the sports notability page. I think some patience and discussion rather than outright reverting would be much better. Thanks for your time. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat 03:47, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- I think we should slow down. You made a statement on the talk page and then made an adjustment to the article based on that statement. Nobody had a chance to respond. Additionally, citing "per talk page" might make it appear to the uninvolved editor as if the discussion on the talk page resulted in support for that edit.

NBDL and CBA players
editThanks for letting me know about the discussion. Minor-league basketball players are a varied bunch, so I'll need some time to articulate my thoughts. I'll respond at the proposal talk page shortly.Zagalejo 05:26, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Deletion: Wauwatosa West High School
editThere is at least one "notable" occurrence in the school's history - perhaps it was not in the article. In 1993, an Associate Principal, Dale Breitlow, was shot and killed in the school by a former student.

Deletion review for LAPD in media
editI initiated a DRV review here for the LAPD in media article. I'm notifying you because you closed the AFD.--Chaser - T 02:32, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Bob Meusel
editI believe User:Tony1 voted "Support". He accidentally changed one of my comments to "Support", so it looked like I had voted twice. I changed it to what I think he meant to do. Now the article has two "Support"s and no "Oppose". That should do it I think. Regards, --Mattisse 15:15, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
