Good Old AI article for deletion

Hi there, I am the creator of the article on the Good Old AI research group you have nominated for deletion. I understand that the structure and the content of the article are not strictly bu the rule. This is because this is my first article here. I was wondering could you briefly tell me or give me an example of how I can make it to fulfill all the rules and restrictions? I know that this may not be in area of your job, but I am asking you for help here. Thank you for your time.

Guildford Heat Nationals U-14's Team

Hi there,

Sorry I was still a bit confused why this page on wikipedia was deleted. Was it because you thought it doesn't exist? We are the u-14's national team for the best basketball team in England, Guildford Heat, (Who have a page on wikipedia) and we need one too. I was just making a base for the site and putting more facts on later. For some proof, here is the Url of Guildford's Heat's homepage http://www.guildfordheat.com/ as well as their academy page http://www.guildfordheat.com/guildfordheat-600.asp?id=49 (our page). Thanks for your help.

True Dungeon

Could you restore this redirect and talk page? The article they were merged to was restored, and I suspect they have edit history we want to keep. --GRuban (talk) 09:00, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Also True Dungeon Fantasy Tavern please. --GRuban (talk) 09:21, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Done. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 11:12, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you! --GRuban (talk) 15:52, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Rosati's Pizza

I work at a dealership during the day and "Wiki" when I have time so I stopped editing and put up an "under construction" tag on this page. I feel it is very signifigant. If Giordano's Pizza, Lou Malnati's Pizzeria, and Gino's East all have pages, then Rosati's, which is three times bigger than all of those combined, deserves a page as well, but you need to give it some time and let me work on it over the course of a couple days first. I am really upset that I lost all that I did already and now I need to start from scratch. I falls under the scope of many WikiProdjects. I understand that you don't want "ad's" and what not, and I'm in, I get that, but you did not give me a fair amount of time. Thanks and have a good one.Wjmummert (KA-BOOOOM!!!!) 00:31, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I'll restore the page in your userspace, where you can work on it untill it is ready for mainspace. Do keep an eye on WP:N and WP:COI. All named restaurants have notability issues, especially Gino's, which I will start a deletion discussion about later. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 09:35, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
It has been restored at User:Wjmummert/Rosati's Pizza. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 14:12, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Claddagh Ring Pub

Thanks so much for deleting the above article. I must admit I'm a little confused as to why you felt it necessary though to remove the page rather than flag it for deletion if you felt that it's content was in some way an advert, objectionable or contained particularly offensive content. Is Wikipedia not a public forum where general concensus and contribution should take precedence over the thoughts of the individual? Anyway you must have had good grounds so fair enough

If you believe that this page was in some way an advert then we should without pause or delay remove any page for shopping centres, corporations, other pubs with any kind of history in London, amusement parks, industrial estates. Tell you what - you get flagging I'll get deleting!

The biggest jimmy (talk) 09:09, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

As you can see from the deletion log, I deleted the page as a compagny, that doesn't assert notability. However, based on the Shine award, I will restore the article, and list it for community discussion at WP:AfD. Further, I'd like to point you at WP:POINT and WP:SARCASM.

Speedy deletion of Eleven-ball

Surely blatant misinformation comes under WP:CSD#G3? It was the original uploader of the article after all who added to the PROD that he did indeed make it up that day. -- roleplayer 13:59, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it does, but there seen to be a few (non-notable) games that are called "eleven-ball", and this seems to be an existing variant. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 14:01, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

The result is not "keep"

Even though you weigh in the keep side by your judgment, that discussion is going to "delete" more. So I think the closing statement is not accurate, and it would better if you change the statement to no consensus. And I'm wondering the kept article could be reviewed at WP:DR? --Caspian blue (talk) 13:04, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

When I closed the discussion, I considered a no consensus close, but I believe that weighing the arguments put forward in the discussion, my closure and its rationale were sound. However, it is clear you can always bring this to WP:DRV. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 16:54, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
Hmm.. you know I don't agree with your closing statement as such. I though I could not take it to DRV because it is not deleted. Then, there is no hesitation. --Caspian blue (talk) 17:07, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
Deletion review is to review any closure made at deletion processes, including keep or no consensus closes. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:26, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletion review for South Korean cultural claims

An editor has asked for a deletion review of South Korean cultural claims. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. -- Suntag 17:12, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

The Nana Squad

You deleted the Nana Squad's page on Wikipedia. Varely disappointing as the band has their comeback show in New Zealand tonight and I was going to add to their page as it's all quite exciting that they've returned! Could you see your way to restoring the page so I can edit it please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.49.173.99 (talk) 00:27, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Ongoing Canvassing at 2channel on South Korean cultural claims and AfD 2nd nomination

An individual claiming to be User:Michael Friedrich has been actively canvassing at 2channel, a Japanese forum, targeting various articles such as South Korean cultural claims.[1][2] Another individual has posted the link to the AfD 2nd nomination on the same thread at 2channel[3], and another individual posted the links to some of the involved editors.[4] I am hoping you would take the appropriate course of action in light of these infringements of Wikipedia policies.

Re: GAN/M

Sure, I'll take a look. I just glanced over at the article and the review page, and so far you seem to be doing good. I'll give some comments there shortly. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 13:24, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Say OK

You requested a redirect for Say OK in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Say OK. An editor has since built a new version of the article in userspace, in hopes of being able to restore the article. Can you look at User:Kikkokalabud/Sandbox/Say OK and see if your objections have been satisfied? Please discuss at the sandbox talk page, User talk:Kikkokalabud/Sandbox/Say OK.Kww (talk) 13:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Kese Soprano

I would like to know why was the page deleted, and how to keep the page.. rather new to wiki. Kesesoprano (talk) 14:43, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

That looks rather hard. First, to prevent speedy deletion, it has to state why the subject is important, or as wikipedia calls it, "assert notability" (see WP:A7). Then, once that is satisfied, you need independent reliable sources that provide significant coverage of the subject. Note that ever word there counts. The sources have to be independent of the subject, they have to be reliable sources per WP:RS, and they have to be about the subject, not just mention it (trivial coverage). And it doesn't pile either. You can't have one source that is independent, but with trivial coverage, and another that is not independent (like their homepage) which has significant coverage. I admit I haven't really looked for those, since the article didn't assert notability to start with, and hope you can find some, but to be honest, I have my doubts they exist.
