Draft:Cosmoteer

I think you made a mistake deleting the Cosmoteer draft article. While I agree that the article wasn't ready for mainspace, read like an ad and was under referenced, I intended to improve it and fix those problems, that is what draft space is for isn't it? That fact that I was intending to improve it should have been obvious from my message in the talk page and the fact I made the entire article in the past 2 days. So, can you please return the article to draft space.FormularSumo (talk) 08:18, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks you for restoring the article. Sorry for not leaving a link. I normally do, but I suppose I (wrongly) thought it not helpful as the draft had been deleted. — FormularSumo (talk) 15:44, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

Prasantt Ghosh

Hi Roger! Requesting to know what exactly was the promotional content for which the page Prasantt Ghosh was deleted. I had recently created a wikipedia page named Prasantt Ghosh. But I found out that you deleted the page due to some "UNAMBIGUOUS PROMOTION". I'm new to wikipedia so please guide me exactly what went wrong and how can I retrieve the lost data to make the required changes. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deepika Deori (talkcontribs) 13:28, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

  • Most of the article. "Prasantt Ghosh has given a new aura to the traditional Assamese and northeast outfits with his creativity and authenticity" is a good example. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone who has no CoI but does know encyclopedic style thinks the guy is notable and writes about him here. If you want your text, read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:54, 19 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi Roger! Thank you for your reply. I tried my best to remove any "UNAMBIGUOUS PROMOTION" for the page Prasantt Ghosh. Can you please e-mail me the copy of the deleted article so that I can make the necessary changes. I have updated my mail as you directed. — Deepika Deori

Thank you so much! Will make the necessary changes as required. Deepika Deori 11:12, 22 November 2019 (UTC)Deepika DeoriDeepika Deori 11:12, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

User:Dragonboat Ronin/sandbox

Greetings Mr. Haworth, Recently a page in progress User:Dragonboat Ronin/sandbox was deleted with a caption from you saying "I am deafened by the shouting". If you are referring to the use of capital letters i apologize for any misunderstanding: this was only a template that i was working on formatting into something viable for Wikipedia and no "shouting" was intended. Among the many changes intended, i was hoping to find some way to change the upper-case without having to retype everything manually. This entire page was a very rough draft, not remotely near ready for submission to publication.

I had been under the impression my user sandbox was not a public domain and could be used to work on a potential submission until it is legitimately ready for Wikipedia submission. Is this not the case? If not and if i hope to submit a proper document, then do i need to compose it fully on my own editor first before making any submissions even into the user sandbox? Essentially i am hoping to publish a synopsis of the fastest dragon boat race times throughout respective historic major competitions in all major locations around the world. If this is not something suitable for Wikipedia please let me know. Regards, Dragonboat Ronin (talk) 23:50, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

  • "Public domain" is a technical term re copyright. Nothing on Wikipedia is public domain - all is covered by the Creative Commons licence. But your sandbox is fully visible to "the public". But that is not the issue. The question is: are you actually developing article material or using Wikipedia as a free host. In OpenOffice Writer: select text; click Format / Change case / required option. Similar in other text editors. Two states of your page sent. I advise you to keep it away from Wikipedia until it looks more like article material. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:50, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Greetings Mr. Haworth. First of all, great thanks for the respectful (and very helpful) reply; I was NOT under the impression that my sandbox was publicly viewable. Note: I may not be alone in this misconception; I seem to recall a statement when being welcomed to Wikipedia that said something to the order of writing in your sandbox if you do not want to affect main-space (I took this to mean my sandbox was a private zone to practice with the Wikipedia editor).

Regarding assistance: i am literally amazed that you took the personal time to help change the case for me in my text. My work-in-progress was actually a cut & paste of an email i wrote to various prominent people in the Dragonboat community in response to several records set in the World Championships last August; hence the overly personal tone. Several suggested i publish the results as currently no online articles cover this in as much depth. I wrote it in Notepad (a *very* rudimentary text editor that comes free on many older computers). I do not have advanced editing programs capable of 'case change'; my system is far outdated and living situation somewhat compromised. Final question before i try again: is there no format on Wikipedia where one can practice with the editor without the potential of being removed? Many thanks again for the help in light of my newbie-naivete. — Dragonboat Ronin (talk) 13:57, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

  • Actually doing the case change took negligible time - just a few clicks - you will see that it is a pretty indiscriminate conversion. Finding that I already had the relevant tool took most of the time! Is your system so out of date that you cannot install OpenOffice? I am still working happily on Windows XP. Avoiding removal: it is a bit messy but: edit in your sandbox to your heart's content; preview as often as you like but do not publish changes; at regular intervals, copy from the Wikipedia edit window into an edit page of a plain text editor like WordPad and save it on your own machine. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:33, 23 November 2019 (UTC)

wow, once again i'm humbled then. I'm using Windows 7 and i thought that was outdated. Used XP right up until my old system died and have been trying to go no further than 7 ever since (anything beyond that seems like deterioration). I have a text program but its a free download and has no bells/whistles. I generally use Notepad as its so basic even i can't screw it up. Either way, the case-change you provided was a huge help. If i can come up with something worthy of publication, then i am compelled (possibly legally, definitely morally) to include your name credit under editorial assistance. Thank you again.

Fallen Journalists Memorial Foundation

Why was my draft deleted? The last editor said to remove peacock language so I did that by quoting material from the organization's website. I cited many news articles, as this organization has been covered many times over the last six months. That's how it came on my radar; and when I tried to find its Wikipedia page, it did not have one. I don't understand what I am supposed to do. The information I included in the draft is similar to that of other Wikipedia pages I have seen on similar subjects. Since this organization has been covered by many media outlets, since it is going to be responsible for a new monument in the United States capital, and since a lot of notable people are involved, it is curious why you have deleted the page. And I would like a copy of the text of the deleted draft. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mediaexpert3 (talkcontribs)

Out of process deletions

You speedily deleted both Convents:Convents of the Catholic Church in South America and Andrea Torrielli, which were at AfD, without specifying any speedy deletion criterion. The first looks like a G6/G7 so deletion was certainly valid, but the reason wasn't specified. For the latter, you closed the AfD after only one day with no valid explanation. Would you care to amend your close? --Michig (talk) 09:02, 24 November 2019 (UTC)

Article deleted

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Church_of_St._Nicholas,_Adelaide There was only a small portion that was a direct copy. Why did you flag it for copyright violation and quick deletion? I don't have a copy of the work I did! — Preceding unsigned comment added by PhilipKhoo (talkcontribs)

The bit that you flagged for copyright violations was a quote from the "Relevant Criteria" of the study written with reference under a section of the development act. Which is why I didn't want rewrite it and left it in with a link to the original. It constitutes fair use as it is a government funded study that was quoted for research and scholarship purposes. It was not a copyright violation.

"[You] say very firmly that it is not [your] job to remove copyvio bits from an article." but in fact under the Wikipedia guideline it is the job of the person dealing with the the suspected copyright violations to, "If you have strong reason to suspect a violation of copyright policy and some, but not all (my emphasis), of the content of a page appears to be a copyright infringement, then the infringing content should be removed (ie deleted) with the source url in the edit summary if possible. Revision deletion should then be requested by placing {{copyvio-revdel}} on the article page or directly contacting an administrator on their talk page. In the future it would be best to follow the guidelines or leave it to someone who will. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PhilipKhoo (talkcontribs)

  • The stuff you quote is addressed to an editor interested in improving an article with copyvio material. What I was doing was dealing with the "revision deletion should then be requested …" bit. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:50, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

From the 'bit' you are referring to "because the page's history contains significant copyright violations that have been removed in the meantime." it did not contain 'significant' violations and the viloations could have been simply removed and added back in correctly. Either way from the look of your discussion page you are a bit loose with your deletion request powers. Consider giving other users a bit of leeway before you nuke their work - and if you are in any doubt leave it to someone with a more compassion for their fellow users. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PhilipKhoo (talkcontribs) 00:06, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Arthur N. Applebee

Please explain to me copyright infringement re https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Arthur_N._Applebee . I have worked hard through several revisions to meet the criteria for forming an article for Arthur N. Applebee, as shared with me by various Wikipedia editors. As part of that I have been fastidious in giving sources for biographical material. One of the sources for facts about the life of the subject was the obituary in his local Altamont newspaper. This information is also available in other sources that do not meet Wikipedia's criteria according to previous reviews. I do not believe I was copying any substantial wording from that obituary, but only publicly verifiable information, and I then credited the obituary for this factual material. So if you could explain to me what is improper in this, please let me know so I can fix it. Also could you please send me the text of the deleted draft article as I unwisely did not save a copy.

Hi RHaworth, The page NARU Academy was incorrectly deleted under WP:CSD#A7 . In fact, with a Google search, news articles can be found on the Academy. They are a company supporting gender equality through sports and have done a lot for women's rights in general. They have started the first international FC Barcelona Girl's Soccer camp, which can be found here. The company mentioned in the article is NARU Sports in which NARU Academy is one in the same. In addition, another camp ran by NARU Academy was the Hero Girls Camp, which was reported here and here.

I am not affiliated with NARU Academy, and I reference the company's name because I don't know the employees or who exactly was responsible for the actions I mentioned. For the sake of simplicity, I repeatedly used the company's name. To address the last part of your statement, I am literally a person who believes that NARU Academy is doing great work for women's rights and gender equality in general. I don't work for a reporting agency, so I figured a Wikipedia page would do better than a comment on Facebook or Yelp. In addition, the page was reported for a lack of notability, which I presented you information to combat this report (that you seem to have ignored). There was no mention of a bias, nor do I think I had included or inferred any in the page, besides what you call "shouting my company's name".

Speedy deletion of Conflict of Nations

Hello. I created the Conflict of Nations page, but it was speedily deleted according to the A7 criterion. The speedy deletion template was placed before I put in external references, and the article was speedily deleted even after I provided several third-party articles that were specifically written about the game both on the talk page and on the article itself. According to Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7, the A7 criterion "is a lower standard than notability". I had provided multiple independent sources that were solely concerned with the game. I do not believe that my article failed the A7 criterion. Could you tell me on my user page why these third-party articles were not sufficient to prove the notability of the topic and, if possible, restore my article to there?

SAUF Article deletion - Need help.

RHaworth Sir, Thanks for taking time out to read this post. This is regarding the Shree Aniruddha Upasana Foundation article being speedy deleted. I believe the key reason highlighted is promotional article. The article is not intended to promote the SAUF organization. The purpose of creating the Wikipedia article is to make people aware about the organization and its activities so a lot more people can benefit from its services.

Discarding this article as promotional and tagging it for speedy deletion is not aligned with the Wikipedia principles of democracy. If there are content/format changes required, we are welcome to all the suggestions. SAUF has a website which talks about all the work and achievements. https://aniruddhafoundation.com/ We would really appreciate if you can help us to rewrite the article so that many more people all the over the world become aware about SAUF and benefit from its services. — Prasad Chaubal 07:23, 1 December 2019 (UTC)) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaubals (talkcontribs)

  • What is this rubbish about "including this link as a citation". Including a link is fine. Including text from the target of the link is copyvio. The article was created by Cordon8. The speedy tag was applied by Bkissin at the same time as declining the draft. OK, Bkissin should have notified Cordon8 but I am not going to criticise them for not doing so.

Green Gold Gourmet Foods Incorporated

Hi, I wrote an article Green Gold Gourmet Foods Incorporated and it has been nominated by AngusWOOF for Speedy deletion due to the submission appearing to "read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed."

To be honest this is my first time writing in Wikipedia that's why I didn't know any other way of writing the article and saving it than publishing it right away. I intend to edit the article but it took me time... by the time I was supposed to rework on it again the article has already been deleted by you. I hope the article be un-deleted; if not please allow me to write the article once again... I also don't mind you can provide me with guidelines on saving the article rather than publishing it right away, and if there are any editing tools we can use before we finally publish it so that it will fit Wikipedia's requirements. -- CMOnineza (talk) 03:31, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

  • I cannot help agreeing with the strong words Osama Razi used about a person who could call the Amritsar massacre a "correct action". But we don't use them in the way he did so I have applied an admonitory block. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:50, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks...it was looking messy and certainly not the correct way of editing. I might do some research on it. Whispyhistory (talk) 18:18, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Deletion review for Draft:NAS4lite

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Draft:NAS4lite. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Review at Wikipedia:Deletion review#Draft:NAS4lite. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 13:32, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Whoops, sorry for delay spotting this. Draft:NASlite / Wikipedia:Deletion review#Draft:NASlite should be the links. WP:TROUT me one for that. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:44, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Subject has substantial coverage in reliable secondary sources, as required by general notability guideline. Subject is not required to have sustained coverage after having previously already established notability. Though I can understand why it was deleted back in June, when the article looked like this. There is a draft that appears to have some promise, but needs some sprucing up and the youtube sources removed, replaced with higher quality sources, of which there are plenty. I am contacting you because you were the admin that salted the article title, to politely request that you remove the article title protection, so I can properly move the draft when I see fit to the main space. — Tutelary (talk) 18:12, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

  • You provided several links but not to the page you wanted me to deal with! Someone at the AfD dismissed her as "attention seeking" which is very true. But she has gained a lot of attention from reliable sources so she probably qualifies for an article. Unsalted. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:12, 4 December 2019 (UTC)

Deletion review for BDB Pitmans

Morning RHaworth. My reason for creating this page was part of greater transparency for UK Parliamentary agents. On that page there are several firms listed, only some of which have wiki pages. I am going about replacing links to external sites with internal wiki pages to ensure the public get a balanced view of these significantly important companies. The BDB Pitmans page was the first, a starter page which I hoped would then be developed by the community. Can you let me know what steps I should take to restore it and what text I should ensure is on there to demonstrate the importance of it? Thanks Hunner75 (talk) 11:46, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

  • Restored to draft:BDB Pitmans. What text? At present the article does not even mention Parliamentary agents! And you must provide independent evidence of notability. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:43, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Deleted Article

Hi, I am a student at Fordham University Roman Art Class doing research on Prima Porta Augustus. This morning you deleted my page with the reason "the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic." However, the contexts I wrote are all scholarly theories that already published and peered reviewed. You might believe that the contexts I wrote are all opinions instead of facts. But please be aware that the archeological founding spots of Prima Porta Augustus, and many other ancient artworks are undefined. Books and scholarly articles offer the knowledge of the potential finding spots; they should be eligible for Wikipedia. If you still believe my page is not eligible, can you please restore my page so that my instructor can have a look, and we will fix whatever it needs? This project is worth 30% of my grade for the class, and I don't have a backup copy. If you insist the page can not be restored, can you please email me the text with all the citation I have included in it?

Also, if you want me to move my writing to my sandbox, it's perfectly fine! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 青巷忧颜 (talkcontribs) 16:33, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

  • Hi! A student's user page was deleted as promotional - I was wondering if I could get it restored so they can work on fixing what was wrong. It's the user page for User:青巷忧颜. I think what caused concern was that they were describing the location where the statue Augustus of Prima Porta was discovered and they used non-neutral wording. It will definitely need some work if they are to move anything live, but I can work on that with them. — Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:05, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
  • Please learn to sign talk page messages with ~~~~ . I cannot see any trace of advertising. I deleted it because it was not the sort of stuff we put on a user page. Restored to User:青巷忧颜/sandbox. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:16, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Un-delete request … for Draft:Raj&Pablo

Hi — You deleted Andy Vanags per CSD G6 and the closed AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andy Vanags. But the closure was by a now-indef-blocked user and has been reverted.

Draft : Zendyll Records

Dear RHaworth, I would like to know the reason for the deletion of this draft article. I understand that Wikipedia is not a place for unambiguous advertising or promotion and needs to conform to WP:SOAP. However, as this was a draft article and was meant to be improved, I do no see why it has to be deleted. It was also stated as A7. However, I can assure you that the subject I am currently writing about is credible enough to have its own page. It has been talked about on news articles and magazines and has worked with notable companies and people. I've spent the past week working on this article and would really appreciate if you are able to restore it. Thank you! :) Chlchqy (talk) 03:44, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Melania Trump replacement theory

Requesting restoration. Existence of the conspiracy theory clearly not a "blatant hoax" as it is well reported in reliable sources. For example: The Mirror, "There's a conspiracy theory that Melania Trump has been replaced with a body double and it's pretty unsettling"; South China Morning Post, "‘Fake Melania’ conspiracy theory about body double is ‘deranged’, says Donald Trump"; Esquire, "The 'Fake Melania' Conspiracy Theory is Back"; several others were in the draft. Reality of theory itself is irrelevant to whether theory exists (Bigfoot, Atlantis, Moon landing conspiracy theories, New Coke#Conspiracy theories). @Govvy: Hyperbolick (talk) 14:46, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, it is not a place to build pages about fake news, hoaxes and silly tabloid reporting like what you made there. Govvy (talk) 14:50, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Contesting speedy deletion of AnyChart page

RHaworth hello, I created this article about AnyChart (among several other articles I created about JS libaries and other subjects these days) as and consider it to be a legitimate article which cannot be subject to speedy deletion in particular on the basis of G11 according to my understanding. I do not see how the article can be considered exclusively promotional, and moreover, it actually describes the subject from a neutral point of view in my understanding (honestly, I do not have another point of view here as in any other article that I have created so far, only neutral) and, in particular, G11 says that "Any article that describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion." Unfortunately, you and user Jaclar0529 (by the way, Jaclar0529 have multiple warnings and vandalism claims oh their talk page) did not let me even contest the speedy deletion nomination. I am close to considering the deletion of AnyChart vandalism or error (Update: I am terribly sorry, did not mean it is vandalism, just was afraid it could be, but I am not thinking even like that any more thanks to additional research, thinking, and kind explanations from other editors. Please accept my sincere apologies if that hurt somebody of you guys. — Avbgok (talk) 19:32, 9 December 2019 (UTC)).

Would you be so kind to restore the article as the nomination for speedy deletion and deletion itself seem to be unwarranted and made by mistake. If you feel any edits are needed, I would suggest that we work on improving it together with you and (or) other editors, because that is what Wikipedia is all about as I understand it. Thanks. Avbgok (talk) 11:46, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

For your information, the user who initially placed the G11 tag on the AnyChart article has just replied on my talk page: "The article has already been deleted. I suggest you talk to the deleting administrator, which in this case is RHaworth, as I cannot assist you further. -jaclar0529 (talk) 11:50, 9 December 2019 (UTC)" - could you please look into this issue with deleting the AnyChart article again and restore it? That user jaclar0529 even has been warned with "Final warning on vandalizing Wikipedia on their talk page, so the nomination is likely to be just another vandalism attempt from them. Thanks.

Draft:Lactobacillus_Acidophilus_MPH734

Greetings! I read your notes on creating a wikilink. I am still unsure that I have succeeded though it seems it should look like this: /wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Draft:Lactobacillus_Acidophilus_MPH734 or /wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Draft:Lactobacillus_Acidophilus_MPH734 perhaps?

I found a fascinating substance—specifically a bioengineered bacillus—that was absolutely stunning in its functionality. It is capable of completely eliminating the symptoms of lactose intolerance. I performed a significant amount of research to find out all about it, but strangely found nothing at all on wikipedia. Since I had done all the research already, it seemed logical to compose an article about it and share what I had discovered. I waited for a fairly long time and had all but given up receiving a response, but when I looked in today it had been G11'd or "speedily deleted". I am not associated with the company that created it, and have no financial interest in it. At best one might suggest that I have a bit of enthusiasm for it, but the reporting seemed to have been fairly innocuous and even handed, in my point of view.

Maybe you can help me out by indicating where I went wrong? And I'd just like to emphasise that I have absolutely no financial connection to the company; there is no money to be made here. My joie de vie is entirely aimed at sharing knowledge and reducing ignorance.
