Did you know, that as a registered user, you can create pages by yourself and do not need to use the AfC process? MSGJ (talk) 12:59, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

A few things

From what I just checked out the reason for (deletion), the article was deleted for being a copyright violation of this page. I also found out that the deleting administrators were for the first one The undertow and the second time Marasmusine. Also in order to add a comment at the bottom of a page, you can use the "New Section" button at the top of a talk page as shown in this picture. Vivio Testarossa^{Talk Who} 16:17, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

While

I am not a lawyer, this link may help you with your question concerning copyrighted material. Also concerning your Articles for creation submission it is still open, and can be created by you if you should choose to do so. Vivio Testarossa^{Talk Who} 16:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Are You still there Vivio, did you get my last message?

Shizuoka budoka (talk) 17:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

It seems

That I got confused, as I thought that this page was the article you submitted, lol. Well anyway, I just checked the deletion log, and I don't see any entry for this in the deletion log. Are you sure this was the title you submitted it as? Vivio Testarossa^{Talk Who} 17:02, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

My mistake, did you get my last message Vivio?/

Are you still there?

Shizuoka budoka (talk) 17:52, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Anyway

I did a quick look over on your Wikipedia:Articles for creation submission and I didn't see any major problems, so it should be ok to attempt submitting the article as is. I however cannot guarantee that it is ok. Please post on my page if you need help submitting it as an article. Vivio Testarossa^{Talk Who} 18:14, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

In order

To complete the process of creating a new page you have to click on Gogen Yamaguchi - The Cat or Gogen Yamaguchi, depending on which name you think is more appropriate. When you do so, you should see a screen similar to

This (minus the find box)

the screenshot to the right of this. Afterwards just copy all of the text in your submission in Wikipedia:Articles for creation, found here in to the window mentioned above, and click the save button at the bottom of the page. And then the article is created. Vivio Testarossa^{Talk Who} 18:41, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah

The rules and procedures can be quite complicated at times, lol. Well anyway it seens that the article was successfully created... I right now have it on my watch list, which allows a person to see any changes made to the pages on them by clicking Special:Watchlist. Vivio Testarossa^{Talk Who} 18:57, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Gogen Yamaguchi

Hi,

In response to the message you left for me at my talk page, it seems you have successfully created your first article. Well done!

I have made a few changes to your article. I hope you are happy with these:

• Every article needs an introduction and so the first section seemed to be a fairly good introduction so I have used that.
• I have renamed the article back to Gogen Yamaguchi because nicknames are not normally used in the title of the article.
• I have added the "wikify" tag to the top. Wikifying is the next thing you could do to the article if you have time!

Best wishes, MSGJ (talk) 07:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Paul Starling

A tag has been placed on Paul Starling requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. T-95 (talk) 16:41, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I've declined this deletion request as in my view the article does assert notability. ϢereSpielChequers 16:46, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

• Note: Furthermore: See the following guidelines: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Athlete#Athletes Athletes/Shortcuts:WP:ATH /WP:ATHLETE

Additional criteria: A person is generally notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included. Should a person fail to meet these additional criteria, they may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability.

• People who have competed at the fully professional level of a sport, or a competition of equivalent standing in a non-league sport such as swimming, golf or tennis.[9]

• People who have competed at the highest amateur level of a sport, usually considered to mean the Olympic Games or World Championships. The athlete Paul Starling is deemed eligible and notable accordingly.

AfD nomination of Paul Starling

I have nominated Paul Starling, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul Starling. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. T-95 (talk) 22:24, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 11:16, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

April 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Paul Starling. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 15:26, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: From Whpq

Thank you for the Welcome Whpq, as you can tell I am unsure of procedures however I don't remember removing users comments from the Articles for Deletion section; I did though, remove the notice from the article itself as I was under the mistaken impression that the issue had been resolved by the administrator who stated that Notability had been established. I thought that the issue was closed accordingly. No-one made any comments on the AfD page either so then I wad doubly sure. The Admin user involved has been very helpful and I was sure that the article complied with guidelines and could not understand why the 1st user Tarheel95 nominated the article twice for deletion in the first place, after Admin Werespeil user stated to 'Keep'. Tarnee95 seemed inexperienced perhaps so it was my mistake, shall know better next time. Any further advice on what I need to do next would be appreciated as not much interest from elsewhere.

The warning was for removing the AFD notice on the article page. The article was nominated for for deletion through a full discussion process (AFD), and when that is done, the template should not be removed until the discussion is closed. Your confusion arises from the fact that the article was originally nominated for speedy deletion (see WP:SPEEDY) which is sort of an "express" process for articles which very obviously would not be kept. The criteria for such deletions is very specific an narrow to avoid deleting material that should be kept. An administrator declined to delete the article because it did not meet the criteria to be speedily deleted. It was then nominated for the regular deletion process with input and discussion from a wider range of editors to to determine if the article should stay or go. There was no major harm from its removal as I have restored it. -- Whpq (talk) 12:36, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

What does it mean when user name is red linked rather than blue?

Hello again. if a user name or indeed any link is red it means that link is to a non-existent page. User pages are optional for Wikipedians and there are some very active editors who have not created one, by contrast some users use them to introduce themselves, explain what they do and store assorted useful links. Talk pages are not optional and anyone who does more than a small number of uncontentious minor edits will soon acquire one, the editor you noticed does have a talk page.
