Anti-vandalism

Apologies for delay - I promised you more advice but forgot to give it. Start by reading WP:Vandalism carefully, and then look at WP:CVU that's the Counter-Vandalism Unit's page. There is a good deal there about semi-automated tools like Huggle and permissions like Rollback, but you should do a bit of manual anti-vandal work first to get a feel for it, and most of the tools require permission which will only be given when you have some experience.

Delete it. I don't need it. RomeEonBmbo (talk) 03:56, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Reasons

Don't store your fiction on Wikipedia. Especially don't store it here if it's in the form of false encyclopedia articles.

If I restore it, you'll have a day or so to save the content to your own machine, then I expect you to put {{db-u1}} on it to mark it for deletion.

Got it? DS (talk) 23:48, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Rolf Zetterström

Hello. Please note that {{blp-prod}} is only for biographies of living persons (BLP). Zetterström, however, died last year according to the article, so it would have been better to just tag it as "unreferenced" and let people expand the article. The claim of him having been a member of the Nobel comittee makes him significant enough to have an article and he's most likely notable too. That's why I have removed your prod. Regards, De728631 (talk) 20:42, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Everything seems to be fixed on the article. Should have read more carefully, I suppose. Thanks for pointing out the error. Regards, RomeEonBmbo 16:17, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

  • Hi Aero, I have something to show you! This is my mind! Plz see this! (talk) 01:58, 198th September 2014 (UTC)
  • Hello RomeEonBmbo, I am tybllc. I noticed that you flagged my article -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Young_Brothers for Speedy Deletion, claiming the article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a band, singer, musician, or musical ensemble that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. I have carefully researched & written the article, to be factually accurate. And I've included necessary links to validate such.

Please help me, by pointing out, & explaining how I can correct any errors, to not only prevent the page from being deleted, but so that it will pass muster & be approved, as a ligitimate wikipedia article! Thank you kindly in advance, for you much appreciated consideration!  :) Tybllc (talk) 01:58, 4 December 2012 (UTC)tybllcTybllc (talk) 01:58, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

  • Hello again RomeEonBmbo.

You said, "Judging from what you have written, it appears that all the band has done so far is open for notable bands, which, although it can be a considerable feat (I myself have never opened for a former member of Lynyrd Skynyrd), opening for another band does not automatically make someone notable." & "Also, upon further research, the sources provided are either do not meet article #1 on WP:BAND, or they don't even mention the band itself. As well, the band members are linked elsewhere on wikipedia, but to disambiguation pages, and none of them mention anybody that is on the band."

  • On Kid Rock's "Rebel Soul" album page [[1]], it clearly states, ""Redneck Paradise" was written by The Young Brothers in 2007, they sent in to Kid Rock's representives hoping he'd use the song." & on Kid Rock's page [[2]], under "Born Free through Rebel Soul (2009–present)", toward the bottom it clearly states, "Kid Rock and TBT have also, already filmed two other music videos for the album, which are "Happy New Year", and "Redneck Paradise", a song he co-wrote with Eric & Jason Young of the southern rock group, The Young Brothers, for which his most recent "Chill'n The Most Cruise" destinations both 3 & 4 have been nick-named.
  • I have provided web links to validate these facts. How can you claim, that it appears that The Young Brothers have only opened up for notable acts? When The Young Brothers wrote a song, that Kid Rock himself, not only recorded & released, but also renamed the Bahamas Island destination for his Norwegian Kid Rock Cruise, after & because of this very song, "Redneck Paradise"? Is this not a most extraordinarily & considerable feat??? Tybllc (talk) 04:51, 4 December 2012 (UTC)tybllcTybllc (talk) 04:51, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Hello again RomeEonBmbo.

Criteria for musicians and ensemblesShortcuts: WP:BAND A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, instrumentalist, etc.) may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria: Which my article The Young Brothers does, for their composition, "Redneck Paradise". under # 2. "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." & again in # 11. "Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network." [[3]] <- Please look at the song credits on "Redneck Paradise". You will clearly see, that both founding members of The Young Brothers are credited with co-writing the song with Kid Rock Also, please refer to wikipedia's Rebel Soul Kid Rock article, where you will see that The Young Brothers are clearly credited as authors of "Redneck Paradise" [[4]]& [[5]], where The Young Brothers have a published interviewe by the "Extreme Kid Rock" news site, about their composition. And here is actual video footage, of Kid Rock, saying that he is going to release "Redneck Paradise" as a single. [[6]]

  • WP:COMPOSER

For composers, songwriters, librettists or lyricists:

  1. 1. "Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition." Which my article The Young Brothers does, at the top, concluding the 1st sentence of Kid Rock's Rebel Soul article. [[7]], also look at this The Young Brothers interview, which is also used to cite Kid Rock's article, about The Young Brothers co-authoring "Redneck Paradise" with Kid Rock.
  • The Young Brothers' co-written composition with Kid Rock, was used to name, the Norwegian Cruise, bahamas island destination, for Kid Rock's 3rd & 4th annual "Chillin the most cruise". See Destination on cruise site -> [[8]]. I expect, that after carefully reviewing the refferences I've provided, that you'll agree this is deffinately a significantly notable accomplishment, justifying & satisfying the qualifications demanded by wikipedia, to award The Young Brothers article, passage on wikipedia.

  • Thank you so, very much RomeEonBmbo, for helping me clean up, or propperly construct my The Young Brothers article.
  • The Young Brothers' career achievements, are remarkably & extraordinarily noteworthy, considering their direct association with Kid Rock & the Cinderella type story, behind their co-write with Kid Rock called, "Redneck Paradise". It's not everyday, that a song written by two struggling, economically challenged brothers, write a song that gets used by a major label artist, to re-names a Bahama island destination, for a company such as Norwegian Cruise Lines [[9]][[10]]. If you have any other advice, that you may offer, to help me get my article approved, I would greatly appreciate any help you might care to offer! Thank you again, so very much!

R3 speedy of 2014 Formula One seasonn

Just to let you know, this redirect got created because it had been requested 5,000 times in the week preceding the redirect's creation. It was pinged another 4,895 times after the R3 speedy. Something strange is happening, and we don't know why, where, or how. Just wanted to let you know why my run through this week recreated this guy. I've kept a list of all the screwball redirects, and will list them myself for deletion, as soon as we stop getting all these bad page requests. VanIsaacWS Vexcontribs 20:33, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately I have over 200 yrs. of history in which our educational system and own government have promoted this misconception.

We noticed though that when you edited Mike Holmgren, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lame duck (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Replaceable fair use File:Willsmith Jada.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Willsmith Jada.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Anupmehra -Let's talk! 20:43, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Contested deletion

The Little Boy Blues

I declined the speedy deletion of this article to allow the article creator some more time to look for sources to support the band's notability. They might be notable, but I can't be sure yet if they are or aren't. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:57, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Another contested deletion

@Deb: This user just tagged an article I created only two minutes after it was created without checking content, sources, etc. Is this user for real? (new: Apologies for hasty remark) -- Gwillhickers (talk) 00:11, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

@Gwillhickers: - To clarify, the article noted that the Stephen was the son of a George Simpson. Given that Stephen was supposedly born in 1789, and the earliest George Simpson was born in 1786 at the very earliest, which would make for a very hard case of them being father and son. Secondly, the said page of George Simpson (administrator) makes no mention of being part of the First Bank of the United States. Also, the article on Stephen states that he founded the Columbian Observer, which doesn't have an article on Wikipedia, and after a brief check on search engines, it seems the newspaper did not fare very well. Aside from that, Stephen also published a couple of biographies as well. Even if the article isn't a complete hoax, I doubt the article is notable enough to be on Wikipedia. I hope I've cleared up any confusion you had. If not, please feel free to ask more questions on here. Aerospeed (Talk) 00:33, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
The said page? The George Simpson referred to in the article, Stephen's father, was born December 12, 1759, in Philadelphia, 30 years before his son Stephen. Yes, I made a mistake linking to a disambiguation page, which I promptly corrected, but that hardly excuses your assumptions, your speedy two minute 'analysis' and a rush to a speedy deletion nomination, without even a discussion. See Talk:Stephen Simpson (Esquire) -- Gwillhickers (talk) 02:36, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
Not sure why this has anything to do with me, but the article is certainly at an unconventional title and needs to be moved. Any wikipedian may tag an article for deletion and I don't subscribe to the idea that doing so quickly or wrongly is a hanging offence. Assume good faith, please. Deb (talk) 08:33, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Redirects

Hiya Aerospeed, yeah I was given a reading list with the authors listed in the format as entered. The format is relavitely common (for instance ODNB). The redirects enable cut and paste searches to hit the wikipage. Stacie Croquet (talk) 22:09, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Decline speedy deletes

I just declined two of your speedy delete nominations, Tan, Amy and Shute, Nevil. They are not implausible redirects as someone could type Lastname, Firstname. There is even a whole category of similar redirects, Category:Redirects from sort names. GB fan 23:03, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Amos

Wikipedia does not have any rule that a municipality has to have a certain minimum size before it qualifies for a list of its mayors. It's certainly true that in smaller cities like Amos not all of the mayors themselves will necessary qualify for standalone biographical articles under WP:NPOL, but if the list isn't standing alone as an independent article then it fails to be accessible from Category:Lists of mayors of places in Quebec — so any list that is properly sourceable and complete and consists of more than just a single-digit handful of mayors is allowed to stand alone as an independent list regardless of the city's size. Many places around the world which are considerably smaller than Amos have standalone lists of their mayors already. Bearcat (talk) 23:01, 25 September 2014 (UTC)


Declined speedy deletes

I just declined two of your speedy delete nominations, Tan, Amy and Shute, Nevil. They are not implausible redirects as someone could type Lastname, Firstname. There is even a whole category of similar redirects, Category:Redirects from sort names. GB fan 23:03, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

I declined some additional ones. For Nelson Johnson. The author of a famous network show is certainly a claim to significance, and is, in my opinion, actually notable, which is a considerably higher criterion. For Kris L. Hardin, fellow of Royal Society of Geography is a claim to significance; I think he is pretty likely to be actually notable.
Other editors have , properly, declined other speedies. As examples, for Agelaia vicina, all species are considered notable here. For Horror icon, tho the article will be deleted, G2 does not conceivably apply; there are many others. About 1/4 of your nominations are being declined, and this is about 5 times the level that is usually considered appropriate. Some of these seem to be caused by not understanding the criterion; some, by not carefully considering the article; some, by nominating too quickly after creation.
It is extremely important for the survival of Wikipedia to encourage new editors. Very few people whose first article is deleted ever return, but even just a nomination for deletion will discourage most people. It's also important not to nominate more articles than necessary, so people can pay attention to the ones that do need deletion. The rules for speedy deletion are accordingly set very specifically, and the policy is to follow them literally and narrowly. Myself, I've been working in large part on deletions for many years now, and I still find it advisable to re-read WP:Deletion policy and WP:CSDevery few months, to make sure I'm not drifting from the general consensus. You really need to read them both now, carefully; for further details, see especially the extensive archives at WT:CSD and, of course, pay attention to the ones that do not get deleted, and why. I'll always be glad to give advice--just aak at my talk page. DGG ( talk ) 04:17, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Who are you?

And why did you mark my page for deletion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robertmclf (talk • contribs)

@Robertmclf:, I tagged your page for deletion because the company that is mentioned in the article is not notable neigh to have its own Wikipedia page. Divisions of certain companies do not usually have their own page, unless it is one that has gained mainstream popularity or reputation. Other divisions like Target Canada and Target Australia have their own pages since they had their own separate history as opposed to only being part of Target as a whole. If you need more information, please see the notability guidelines for Wikipedia. Thank you. Aerospeed (Talk) 16:57, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
@Aerospeed:, thank you for the quick response. I appreciate this and maybe one day Target Sweden will be big enough to have its own page. :) Do be aware that Target Australia is almost entirely unrelated to Target Corporation, this is an important fact. Thank you have a great day Aerospeed. Robertmclf (talk) 22:02, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Protection request of your userpage

Just to let you know, I've nominated your userpage for semi-protection-creation (can only be created by autoconfirmed users) because I've noticed a lot of recent disruptive activity on it. The same situation has happened with my userpage before, and after talking it over with an admin, we decided that it should be semi-protected (turns out that there's no way to make it so that a userpage can only be created/edited by only the user whose userpage it is). The nomination is at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. If you didn't want it, you can remove my request. Gparyani (talk) 00:18, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

@Gparyani: - Thanks for the nomination, and for being mindful of other users' userpages (even though I never really wanted one anyways :P ) Aerospeed (Talk) 01:23, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
@Aerospeed:: I noticed that the admin gave it full protection instead of semi-protection. This means that you can't create it if you later decide you want a userpage. Why did the admin do that instead of semi-protecting it like mine? Gparyani (talk) 16:40, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
@Gparyani: - Maybe because I said I didn't want a userpage. But as I've said, I really don't need a userpage. Thanks once again for the nomination :) Aerospeed (Talk) 21:34, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
If at anytime you want to create a userpage, any admin will unprotect the page for you. GB fan 22:08, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

@Owais Khursheed: - If you think welcoming him in English is sufficient enough then there's no need to go any further.

RfA

Hi Aerospeed. Thank you for taking an interest in our RfA process. The current RfA is unusual because it has an extroadinary high participation and no appropriate opposition. I was therefore rather surprised that you were unable to see your way clear to placing a vote that would be counted. If you would like to learn more about the process and how you might be able to place a vote in one of the major sections more easily, you may wish to read this. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:33, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for guiding me to the page, @Kudpung:. There was a statement in the article that said "RfAs are a bloodbath," and after seeing many RfAs in the archives I can agree to that. I don't normally vote in RfAs, for the reasons stated above and in the article, but on this occasion I got myself flustered reading the archives of the F1 talk pages and just seeing F1 go downhill as a whole for the past month or so, so I've been a bit in a bad mood. His RfA submission gave me the perfect opportunity to ask him, and cleared me up on what to do in dispute resolutions. I don't generally side with one person/side or another until I'm 100% sure that it's the best way to go. And even then, I don't normally voice my opinion in the public since I don't want to attract anyone that might make an argument. Jethro is a nice guy, and there's no denying that, but right now I'm not ready to choose camps. At least not on RfAs. I hope I've cleared any confusion, Kudpung. All the best, Aerospeed (Talk) 22:39, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your detailed reply. I'm pretty sure however that if you had taken an hour or so (that's how long it takes to do an honest review of a candidate although many voters probably don't, and in this case I didn't but for special reasons), you would have been able to make up your mind. Thanks also for reading the linked page. I hope it helped. RfA is not quite the bloodbath nowadays since that page was written. Cheers, Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:19, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
Aero, I'm obviously biased here, but I just wanted to throw my two cents out there about participating in RfAs. In general, I don't think you will ever be 100% sure that a candidate is the right choice, because you will always have limited information available to you, let alone limited time to sift through it all. But people make important decisions based on limited information all the time (especially at RfA), and the English Wikipedia is still chugging along decently well from where I'm sitting. The other point was that if you're looking for advice on a real situation you're in, I think it's probably better to just to ask about it on an outside editor's talk page. Candidates spend a lot of time researching and preparing responses for the questions they receive (or at least, they should), because they are so heavily scrutinized. I am genuinely glad I was able to help you, but I also think it is a little unfair to ask it in RfA given that you are unlikely to express an opinion on a candidate regardless of how they respond. Anyway, all that said, it's fine if you want to stay neutral in my RfA, but I do ask that you consider both Kudpung's and my advice for future RfAs. I, JethroBT drop me a line 10:10, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I've declined your speedy as it can't see that it is blatantly promotional of anything in particular. If I'm missing something, please let me know.

Speedy delete denied

Aerospeed, I denied the speedy delete you proposed at Dive Olly Dive!. "No context" means the article doesn't even give enough to research it. In this case, it says that it "is a French children's animation series created in 2005" which tells you exactly what the article is about and exactly how to research it. For example, it has a page at Imdb. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:45, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi, @AngusWOOF:, I tagged the article for being confusing mainly due to the sheer size of the article, and that the fictional details of the characters may be confusing to the average reader. To be honest, I probably tagged that out of habit, so it could be removed, but I'd proofread the article for clarity anyways. I'm just glad you're willing to clean up the article thoroughly and with care! I'd do it myself, but I know absolutely nothing on the show, so I tagged it instead. Thanks for helping out. :) Aerospeed (Talk) 02:11, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

Hey there, just wanted to let you know that I contested your deletion of the article I created. Have a nice day! Liegger (talk) 14:47, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

@Liegger: - I put the speedy nomination up because it is simply a copy of the "Reactions" section of the article 2014 Peshawar school attack. If you added more information expanding on what is already there, then it will be good. Also, if you wish to contest the speedy deletion, please click on the big button on the page nominated for deletion that says "Contest this speedy deletion," and you'll be guided on how to contest the deletion there. Thanks, Aerospeed (Talk) 14:52, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
I think you've confused someone else's article with mine. The article I created that you put up for a speedy deletion is Antonio Hernando. Liegger (talk) 14:56, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
Whoops... My mistake :S Aerospeed (Talk) 14:58, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
I'm the one who contested speedy deletion of Reactions to the 2014 Peshawar school attack. As existing page kept getting bigger editors decided to split Reactions section to another article. CSD A10 clearly states that Note that splits of large articles are not eligible under this criterion.. See article's talk page for more details.--Chamith (talk) 16:16, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Saffron Terror

Hi, can you give me the reason behind your closure of the Saffron Terror Afd?. I would have preferred an Admin closure of the AfD. -sarvajna (talk) 10:35, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

@Saravajna:, I took a look at the discussions made by the users and I wasn't too convinced of either side of their statements. The people who call for the page to be deleted cited WP:NOTNEO, and the people who call for the page to be kept simply refuted those statements. Given that the discussion had been going on for 11 days, and there hadn't been a response in three, I decided it was best for the discussion to be closed and the users of the Wiki to help fix the page themselves without a big template of the pages' impending deletion in the way. Could an admin have closed the page? Maybe. It's hard to say without being able to look ahead in a month or so and looking at the differences between the two pages.

Undeletion request for Tenement August Mentzl in Bydgoszcz

Considering other creations of this editor, I really doubt this should've been speedy deleted. At the very least, I'd ask you for undeletion and a proper AfD entry.

Deletion nomination of 2015 Kharkiv Bombing to be thrown out

2015 Kharkiv bombing is a notable article. I don't know why it's been proposed for deletion. It's notable. Some other users are with me. This is a provocation, I believe. This is done, I understand, because of other people's opinons. I don't agree it should be deleted and I hope it isn't. Could you please take out the nomination for deletions? Thanks. --Babestress (talk) 18:01, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

@Babestress: - I hope the article isn't deleted too, but the fact remains that the article is reads a news article rather than an encyclopedic entry. Sure, it might be notable in the future but we can't make those predictions. And although we don't have a limit on how many articles we can have on Wikipedia, we can't have every single news item have its own article. I'd suggest reading through Wikipedia:Notability (events) to have a better idea on what can be made into an article.
Don't feel discouraged, though, as many new editors have the same learning difficulties that you have. It's like learning a language; you may have some difficulty interpreting what you want to say, but with more practice you'll get the hang of it. If you need any help on how to contribute to Wikipedia, feel free to ask on the help desk. Many thanks, Aerospeed (Talk) 22:11, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

@Duckduckstop: Please forgive me, when I tagged the article it was a one-sentence article. I instinctly thought it was a non-notable bio and made the tag. I'll try to be more mindful and look for sources in the future. Aerospeed (Talk) 00:42, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
actually, that one sentence said he was a Chemistry professor at Fisk. Being a professor at a university, though not proof of notability, is an indication of plausible importance, and should always pass speedy--because it will need to be checked further. (You made the same error at Jane A. McKeating, and at Sanjay Shete even the first version showed actual notability according to WP:PROF because he is editor in chief of a major journal.) It's also not a good idea to tag a new article for A7 two minutes after creation unless its patently hopeless on the face of it, because the editor might well be in the process of adding more--as here.

Notable Person March 30

Hi Aerospeed! You rejected my submission for [[Michael Baum [entrepreneur)]] and cited that the sources did not indicate he was notable enough. From what I have read, he is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, having founding many companies in the big data space. I put many sources, many of which are from online publications and news outlets (38 sources). I'm relatively new, can you help me make the page reputable?

Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by SiliconChips (talk • contribs)

Hello @SiliconChips:, and thank you for submitting your article to AfC. The article was certainly well written, but I'm afraid to say the subject of the article (Michael Baum) simply isn't notable enough. Despite the fact that there are 38 sources given, they are not independent of the subject. To be independent of the subject means that the sources produced by those linked with the subject including are discounted when determining when a subject is notable. Examples of these discounted sources include self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, autobiographies, press releases, and so on. While they may be detailed and even well-proven, the main problem with these sources is they are often biased and promotional in nature, and often do not meet the neutral point of view that an article needs, if these sources were to be brought up on their own. Please look at page on independent sources for more information on what makes an independent source. Don't feel disheartened that your article was declined, however, as many first-time editors often get the same difficulties when creating an article, Remember to keep working hard, and I'm sure you'll get an article approved through AfC.

If an article in parallel line with Stock Exchange and List of Stock exchanges can be accommodated, then why the page E-trading in Pakistan cannot be existed on WP in the presence of Electronic trading. As such E-Trade is a subject of modern technology, no all countries on map of globe applying same practices and capabilities due to slow and fast development, per resources/skill, and lack of infrastructure.

Infamous-Quests Article

Hi Aerospeed! I have edited the Infamous Quests article several times and taken on board the previous comments about the sources not being notable enough so have endeavored to improve the quality of citations. Again I am very surprised to see it be declined again despite very credible sources from TIME, Slate, IGN and other news outlets. It's simply not an advertisement and it is no different a page to other indie game company pages that have articles. They have a Wikipedia article for their older company Infamous Adventures and also have an article entry for one of their games, King's Quest III: To Heir Is Human (Infamous Adventures). Can you please reconsider your decision. Thank you.

21:08:57, 7 April 2015 review of submission by Lpwords


This article's rejections have focused on lack of notability. I've read those guidelines carefully and wonder why the references from three books by well-known publishers, from three national industry publications, and from three Denver newspapers are insufficient. They seem to fit the guidelines. Are more references needed or is there something else I can do to make this article acceptable? Thanks. Lpwords (talk) 21:08, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

@Lpwords: It would depend on the context of how the company was portrayed in those books. If they are merely mentioned in the book, they don't have notability, since the reason why a company is notable isn't mentioned. Just because a company exists doesn't automatically make it notable. In terms of how the article was written, I think there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the notability can't be confirmed. I'd suggest reading through the notability guidelines thouroughly, specifically the "Primary criteria" section to get a better idea on how notability works. As I said earlier, don't be discouraged, as figuring out notability on Wikipedia can be very daunting. But more practice will help you get there. Aerospeed (Talk) 21:58, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello @Yatin Rewale: In terms of how the article was written, the article was written very well, but the problem with the article is on the subject of the article. As I stated in my comment earlier, I don't see how he can qualify for the notability guidelines for entertainers. One the main reason why is because the producer hasn't worked on a notable film yet. He's also not mentioned in any of the articles that appear in his filmography. All this makes me believe that he is not notable enough for an article on Wikipedia. Please look at what notability is, and why it can't apply to just everyone. Don't be discouraged, however, as many first-time editors have trouble with figuring out notability on Wikipedia. Keep practicing writing articles and you'll be able to get an article submitted through AfC. Aerospeed (Talk) 12:36, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

16:36:42, 15 April 2015 review of submission by CanvasNinja


Dear Aerospeed: Thank you for your time and feedback last week. Five days ago, I re-submitted a revised page with changes per your feedback on the subject's notability. I included an addition at the artice's opening to emphasize the work initiating America's first retrospectives of Asian artists, including Yayoi Kusama and Yoko Ono. I also placed emphasis on her appointment as the first curator of Asian art at an American institution. Finally, I revised several of the references to include sources from The New York Times, among others. I would welcome any feedback you have, or further insights into the approval of this page. Thank you again!

Submission declined.

Hello.Can you help clarify on your decision? I need to learn what these standards of "notable" mean.It was my understanding that an artist needed to be recognized by outsider,non-promotional sources. The intention of putting those reviews there was that several of those sites are reputable music-criticism databases with their own recognition on Wikipedia.It had nothing to do with how 'good' the band was or how much influence they exerted.Coupled with the reputable labels that confirm having included the band in their list. I was given the go-ahead by other mods.Why is my article less worthy than this? --MightySaiyan (talk) 23:36, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello @MightySaiyan: Notability requirements not only need reliable sources (I.e. Something not self-published, something that a user can simply create, and something that discusses about the band itself. Bands have a certain notability requirement of their own, since not every band can have their own article. Some of the sources are self-published as well, which means that the verifiability is brought into question, due to the fact that self-published sources can claim anything without having fact checkers, editors, etc. See this for more information.
However, from the sounds of things it looks like you're getting close to getting the submission accepted, if you're correct about being given the "go-ahead" from the mods. And to your credit, I think your article is better written than the one you sent as an example (Have a Nice Life). So what I'd do is try to clean up the sources that don't say much about the band (such as the first source, which only mentions the band as being part of a catalogue), and if there's any way that the band meets the notability requirements, and if a source says so, make it obvious in the article so the submission can have a better chance of being accepted. Keep trying, as many submissions take many tries to get accepted. It's all part of the learning process. Aerospeed (Talk) 12:29, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello Aerospeed,

Can you please clarify for me why or what sources I have that are not notable? Theatre Mania, Hitfix, and Broadway World are among the top references in the entertainment and theatre industry. Appreciate the help.

Thanks, Aly 2604:2000:D12F:D100:C011:A678:59EB:8225 (talk) 00:20, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello @2604:2000:D12F:D100:C011:A678:59EB:8225: Looking at the sources in the article, most of them aren't exactly the most reliable. For instance, his imdb page isn't reliable since anyone can edit the website and claim to be an expert on the subject. Secondly, his official website isn't reliable as well, since it is a self-published work and the neutrality of the source may be skewed. The rest of the sources are either broken (as it was with #3), only mention the subject in one line or sentence (which cannot establish notability from that), or don't even mention the actor at all. On top of that, the actor hasn't appeared in any major films - although a case could be made since he appeared in an indie award winning film. But the sources aren't the best, and we have to establish notability and make sure the sources are verifiable to make sure the information is accurate, especially in a biography. That's mainly why I declined the submission, because there are reliable sources in the article.

Submission declined II.

Dear Aerospeed. (Sorry if I am not formatting this correctly.)


Hello. Can you help clarify on your decision? I need to learn what these standards of "notable" mean. I included many sources, some are books in most university libraries, some are articles that can be searched online. I was careful not to include any on the subject's own website. What to do? Just what is missing that would make you consider this person "notable"? Cited in the article are two lengthly interviews with the subject on the subject of mail art. The subject was instrumental in the move from an analog system to a digital context for mail art. As said in a question to you above, it was my understanding that an artist needed to be recognized by outsider,non-promotional sources. That is what I have tried to present. The back story is this: This subject had a page on Wikipedia for many years dating back to the earliest days of the Wikipedia site. Perhaps coincidentally, within the same week, the subject's user account was suspended and the entry on him was deleted. He was warned of this but did not respond in time to the warning to delete, thinking it was referring to his user account. He asked me, someone who has written on him in the past, to try and get his article re-written and replaced to the liking of Wikipedia. I greatly improved this article and backed it up with scholarly citations. In the meantime, he has had his own account reinstated because he made it clear he was not promoting or driving traffic to his site, only that it is one of the best sources for information on him. Please understand that Mr. Bloch is involved in an activity that involves, by its very nature, a lot of self-publishing. He was involved with this kind of self-publishing activity since the late 70s, prior to the spread of cyber-space and online publishing. It was, in fact a precursor to and a model for cyberspace. But rather than use his own Do It Yourself credits, I researched outside source material and re-wrote the entry. Please tell me what should be done to move this article beyond the not notable demarcation. Any help would be appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iochone (talk • contribs) 18:56, 20 April 2015 (UTC) User:iochoneiochone (talk)

@Iochone: When I looked at the article I also reviewed the notability requirements for artists, which are guidelines to determine if an artist is notable enough for an article on Wikipedia. The first three points in the section are can't be easily determined by the sources given, and it often left to a judgment call based on what is said in the article. In terms of how much notability is needed, 3 good sources are generally needed for a subject to be notable. I noticed you had a couple of off-line sources, could I have some more info on what those sources are exactly? How much detail does the sources explain the subject? If it's in reasonable detail it could be notable since published offline sources are generally more reliable than Internet sources, since they have to get published by an external source. Aerospeed (Talk) 12:46, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, Aerospeed, for asking about offline sources. Here are some of the offline sources, what they are and how they feature the subject:

Welch, Chuck. editor. Networking Currents: Contemporary Mail Art Subjects and Issues, Sandbar Willow Press, June 1986. Is one of the first books on the topic of mail art that the subject is an expert in. Despite other excerpts in this book, pages 68-80 comprise an extensive radio interview with the subject and another participant on the topic.

Touchon,Cecil. Natural Born Fluxus - Childhood Event Scores by Fluxus Artists. Santa Fe: Ontological Museum Publications. 2009 Is a collection of performance art scripts by a certain genre of artists and the subject is featured with several examples and a short but solid biography.

Zuba, Elizabeth. Not Nothing. Los Angeles: Siglio Press. 2014 is a recently published book about the important American artist Ray Johnson, the subject’s mentor and examples of Johnson’s letters to the subject and letters containing references to him are included along with some biographical information in the “Cast of Characters” section. (The subject has published several articles on Johnson and was the first to document him online beginning in 1990.)

György Galántai, Julia Klaniczay, editors, Artpool Art Research Center, Oct 3, 2013. "ARTPOOL - The Experimental Art Archive of East-Central Europe: History of an active archive for producing, networking, curating, and researching art since 1970," Is a large volume including artworks by international communications artists. The subject is represented with several entries, comprised of both text-based and visual art.

Horn, Stacy. Cyberville: Clicks, Culture, and the Creation of an Online Town. Grand Central Publishing, Jan 30, 2010. Is the first book of what turned out to be several by an autobiographical story about an important online woman entrepreneur who started one the first online text-based salons. The subject was a significant contributor to this community endeavor and appears in several places in Horn’s documentation of the years before the Worldwide Web.

Robinson, Walter and Gleason, Mat, editors. Most Art Sucks: Coagula Art Journal and the Art of the 1990's. Los Angeles: Smart Art Press, 1998. Is a book on significant art currents of the 1990s. One entire chapter of the book is the transcript of a public radio discussion by several distinguished art world figures including important publishers, artists, critics and dealers in which the subject was a prominent contributor.

Taylor, Michael R., Marcel Duchamp: Étant donnés. Philadephia Museum of Art. Is an important catalogue about an important work of art by an important artist and written by an expert in Modern Art and the director of a major American art museum. While subject is only mentioned in a couple of places, I believe these mentions, alone, qualify him to be cited as an important and notable artist.

@Gfrederic: Please see this on how to cite something inline. You need to link the source to the statement being made. For example, the article says that he was inspired by an event that happened to a 1 year old child. Link that statement to the source that says that and link it through using "< ref >" tags.

Siva Power

Hi Aerospeed,

Thanks for reviewing my AfC draft of Siva Power. You cite a lack of reliable sources as the reason for rejection and I have to say this surprises me very much: There are 19 sources listed ranging from Gigaom, Forbes, Greentech Media, The Wall Street Journal, and even the US Department of Energy. Could you please offer some advice here as to how you think it needs to be improved to meet notability requirements and sourcing?

Many thanks and be in touch. Slainte12 (talk) 22:53, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

@Slainte12:, the sources aren't the main issue, it's the company itself. Notability means doing something noteworthy. Just having a company doesn't automatically make it notable, they need to do something important. Take Apple, who are obviously a company but who also have had mainstream success in the media and in the general public. That's not to say this company isn't successful - but we can't have every company on Wikipedia. (See Wikipedia is not a directory) I'd say just wait and see for a bit if the company gains more publicity - maybe if Obama himself talks about this company (for example) we might have a different story. Work on making the article more neutral and I'm sure you'll be able to get the submission accepted. Aerospeed (Talk) 01:52, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
Aerospeed, thanks for the further explanation. Unfortunately, I am still confused as to why you find it does not meet notability requirements. I understand that a company simply being incorporated is not a good enough reason to be admitted to Wikipedia. Agreed, Siva Power is not the most notable company like Apple, but it is noteworthy for its recent achievements. Siva Power is significant because it is a company that survived a historic industry downturn (for instance, Obama did talk about Solyndra...) and then recently was 1 out of 10 companies in all of the USA to receive a Dept of Energy SunShot award and was the only company of its kind (thin film, rather than traditional silicon) to do so for its category. This event also helped it secure more VC funding, which is a rarity for the thin-film solar industry today as opposed to 10 years ago. Thus, many media groups - from the renewable energy trades to the WSJ - covered the story as it was significant. Many similar companies are already entered on Wikipedia (see Miasole, HelioVolt, and Twin Creeks Technologies and are not as notable (they all shut down). Also, you mentioned neutrality. I thought I took care of the neutrality issues already (was declined the 1st time on those grounds) but if you see specific areas of concern, would you please point them out? Thank you I appreciate the follow-up help. Slainte12 (talk) 19:48, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

22:35:36, 4 July 2015 review of submission by Onlinejonathan


Hi there, I placed cite's and i am not sure what else needed. I would love help. Thanks Onlinejonathan (talk) 22:35, 4 July 2015 (UTC) Onlinejonathan (talk) 22:35, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

There are seven independent sources here, including coverage in the two major metro area dailies and some major city A&E magazines. All for a 180-word wikipedia article. I am a professional journalist, but I fail to understand how that possibly qualifies as under-sourced. You're going to have to help me. Swsman28 (talk) 16:16, 6 July 2015 (UTC)swsman28, 7/6/15

@Swsman28:It's not necessarily how many sources you have but how they are used - mere mentions in the article don't necessarily count as we need to have significant coverage as well. But don't give up, keep at it and you'll get the Afc submission accepted! Aerospeed (Talk) 00:29, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Sample Magic Page

Hi Aerospeed,

Regards the article that was declined - is it because the information we have already presented needs further verification? Or do you require us to put together something more "notable". Would these type of citations be of use or are they too "advertorial"?

http://rekkerd.org/sample-magic-releases-defected-house-samples/

http://www.residentadvisor.net/review-view.aspx?id=11209

http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/oct13/articles/magic-ab.htm

Magic AB is a big name in the sampling industry.

For what it is worth, there are existing pages that mention Sample Magic already that we wanted to link from once this article goes live, those being:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharooz

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sounds_to_Sample

Any assistance is much appreciated.

@Dave ashworth: Unfortunately the sources you gave are not suitable to determine notability. The first one just mentions the company, while the other does talk about it in a bit of a promotional sense. Promotional sources can be used if notability is established, but can't be used to establish notability by themselves because they are not in a neutral point of view, especially in a promotional article, when the article says that the company is the most important thing in the world. I'm encouraged of the fact that you're starting to notice what makes a source promotional in tone, so that you can know what makes a good source for establishing notability. In terms of the company, I'm afraid that there simply isn't enough notability because the company isn't well known enough, but in terms of your editing skills, they definitely seem to be improving. Keep up the good work. Aerospeed (Talk) 12:23, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
@Aerospeed:

Hi, thanks for this, we have done some more research and think the following citations will help, but want to run them by you first before editing the article.

One link that is mentioned in the existing article is this one:

https://news.beatport.com/namm-2008-meet-the-developer-sharooz-raoofi/

we felt this was notable in terms of a 3rd party who are big in the industry were doing a feature on them - and these guys themselves are notable:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatport


Sample Magic were featured on this site:

http://www.timespace.com/features/721/

Which is a citation on the creator's wiki page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharooz


They've contributed towards the new Splice platform service:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splice_(platform)


and have been featured by the following prominent industry magazines (each of which have their own wiki page):

01:36:20, 6 August 2015 review of submission by Ahurvitz2


I have made major improvements to my submission, correcting grammar and formatting the entire document.

But now I seem to have a new hurdle, as a reviewer says " It should be noted that the page creator has stated they are being advised by Grossman on how to create the page." Sulfurboy (talk) 23:37, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

This is not true at all. I am writing this factually, truthfully and objectively.

I hope that I am on the right track in getting this approved.

Helene Breschand's noateability

Hi,

The article I wrote was declined saying that the subject was not noteable enough, however she is a musician at the very top of her field and very well recognized in the French music industry. All of the references I used were the top websites about contemporary music in France. As contemporary music is a much smaller field than say pop music, it may seem that she is not very well known, however it is impossible to play at places higher up in the contemporary music world than where she plays and has played, and with the musicians and composers with whom she has played and written for. She travels around the world to Japan and New York and is very well known in the contempoarary music world and this is why I wanted to write about her, because she is extraordinary and at the top. I know the links are sometimes in French, but there is no higher form of referencing a contemporary musicain. Please let me know what else you would like me to do as she can't go higher in her field and therer is therefore no higher referencing in this field.

Many thanks,

article as part of leiden university's page

Dear Aerospeed,

Thanks for reviewing my article. You said it should be part of Leiden University's page, instead of being its own page - fair enough. I think you mean it should be in this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leiden_University#Research_schools_and_affiliated_institutes The Leiden Institute of Physics (LION) is in that list.

You can click on some other institutes on that list, which directs you to their page. So we can do the same for LION. However, I'm not sure how to do that without creating LION's own page.

@ErikNatuurkunde: You could try to merge it with the history section, given that two members have won Nobel Prizes, so that would be a good way to expand on that section, which has been tagged as such. Aerospeed (Talk) 15:22, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Jnishimoura (talk) 08:48, 24 August 2015 (UTC) Hi Aerospeed,

You declined my draft: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Jacques_Habra due to insufficient third party sources. I'm a bit confused as of the 35 citations, only 1 does not fully meet the independent third party source criteria. Please advise as this individual has been instrumental in the development of key technologies and has earned notable regard by the sector over his career.

Many thanks,

I appear to have had my draft rejected albeit the company Fiverr had informed me it was approved. They asked for information to back up my profile and as most of my career was prior to the internet era I forwarded to them a series of PDF informative items which they said backed up the claims I had. How can we resolve the issues? I just don't have a vast amount of information on the web. Thank you

@98.173.195.44: Do you know where the edit was that said it was approved? Please check your contributions (located in the top right corner) either with your IP or any account you have created.
Also keep in mind, the reason why your submission was declined is because the article is about a living person, but there's no inline citations, so the verifiability is unclear. Please see the page on Bios on living people for more information. Thank you. Aerospeed (Talk) 21:33, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Opinion on article edited after being declined

Can you please make suggestions to this article before resubmitting? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Omar_E._Garc%C3%ADa-Bol%C3%ADvar

Thanks, Juvetorre (talk) 15:51, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Unclear if this is the right place to continue text. Fiverr took all my information, my references were mainly in PDF format of articles, references and sundry associated with myself. Newspaper articles, long lost ( we are talking 40 years ago) etc and on receipt I was informed they were satisfactory for submission. Then I was provided a link as a draft. It was shown as submitted July 10th. 2015. This is the link still on the page: Categories: AfC submissions by date/10 July 2015 However I discovered the other day that although it appeared to be submitted there was another step. That when you rejected it. I have asked for NEW links to be added as references, simply the articles, references etc to be put into a web page format and submitted individually so you can see the items online. I would hope this will work. how about this:

Submission Declined - Depart Foundation

Hello,

Can you elaborate on why you think this topic does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines? Is it simply a matter of not citing enough objective sources? I've added a citation to an art guide published by BMW that discusses Depart in a dedicated page. Is there a problem with the kind of sources used? I'd love to hear specific feedback on what can be improved, because the foundation itself seems to be notable enough, especially compared to other similar foundations (The Moving Museum, Machine Project, Pioneer Works). If there's anything that can be added/removed to help please let me know. Thank you! LAProjectSpace (talk) 20:25, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello @LAProjectSpace: Sorry for the late response, I've been completely saddled with college work here. In reference to your article submission, my main issue is that the notability is questionable. Although there are references such as the LA Times and UCLA, the majority of them (or at least, the notable ones) mention an exhibiton held there in 2011, but hardly talk about the organization itself. There is enough sources, now that I look at it, that it could very well pass if the article was more well-written.
My suggestions are to first remove the "Exhibitions", "Publications", "Special Projects" and "Collections" sections entirely (and maybe perhaps add a bit of info on the exhibitons and publications in the history category), as it just confuses the reader. Remember, this article is about the organization, not specifically the exhibitons held there. Secondly, take your "further reading" section and move it to the end of the article, and whittle down the links to maybe three or four that you think are the best ones there. Thirdly, expand on the history section and talk about the organization, but be careful not to make the prose sound too promotional. Neutrality is key when writing articles. And overall, the best advice I can give is to be patient, as writing articles can sometimes take a lot of work to do well. Keep up the good work and you'll get the submission accepted.
