Speedy deletion nomination of List of vehicles simulated by iRacing.com

Hello MordeKyle,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged List of vehicles simulated by iRacing.com for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, iRacing.com.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Cotton2 (talk) 20:29, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Agreed, this game itself barely counts as notable. Nothing at all about the car list is in the least bit notable. Your list would be better suited to a fansite, or Gamefaqs or similar. 46.226.49.230 (talk) 07:56, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia based on consensus, when editors disagree, talk is needed to develop that consensus. Slow speed wp:editwar is not going to solve the problem. I think the section split is a good compromise. I've added citations to the article. Cars have been written about in published sources. MordeKyle, as creator of the article, clicking on "Contest this speedy deletion" and placing your reasons such as "Properly referenced split from main article..." will inform editors of your side, so it will not be deleted like last time by remaining silent during the nomination.

I have seen in a few AFD discussions that Wikipedia is not a list but first time I've read WP:LISTV, which is about the value a list can have in the encyclopedia. Ciao, Cotton2 (talk) 20:06, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

@Cotton2: Thanks for your help with this, I'm a newer editor, and I'm trying to find my bearings. People like you being helpful and pointing me in the right direction is exactly what I feel Wikipedia is truly about. Wikipedia seems to be stuffed full on conflicting information. I have seen video game pages with GIGANTIC lists, yet there seems to be so much fuss about this list of vehicles that are being simulated by the simulator. After reading WP:LISTV, it is even more clear to me that the list is beneficial to the reader. Each vehicle gives the user a drastically different experience. This list adds to the readers ability to do research, as they may be looking for a specific car or series that is simulated. Many users only use the simulator to simulate a vehicle or two. Again, thanks for your help Cotton2. MordeKyle (talk) 20:36, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

You did a great job MordeKyle! You stepped up and was bold. You've picked up on communicating and it worked out. Check out wp:3 and Request for comments for other ways to get help on an articles. Thanks too, Cotton2 (talk) 21:05, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Constructive contributions are appreciated and strongly encouraged, but your recent edit to the userpage of another user may be considered vandalism. Specifically, your edit to User:Deepesh Jain may be offensive or unwelcome. In general, it is considered polite to avoid substantially editing others' userpages without their permission. Instead, please bring the matter to their talk page and let them edit their user page themselves if they agree on a need to do so. Please refer to Wikipedia:User page for more information on User page etiquette. Thank you. Drm310 (talk) 21:52, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

• @Drm310: Mistakenly placing a speedy notice on a user page when it was clearly intended to be placed on a user talk page hardly constitutes an unconstructive edit that may be considered vandalism. Take it down a notch man. MordeKyle (talk) 22:02, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

Thank you (September 2016)

For removing the vandalism that I was trying to remove. I don't know how my twinkle edit got messed up, but it did -- and you fixed it. That's what collaboration is all about! Many thanks! YBG (talk) 22:32, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
