User talk:Cirt/Archive 17
Userfy requestI would like to move the contents of the deleted page International Random Film festival to User:Colincbn/International_Random_Film_festival in the hopes it will someday become notable enough to include. However I am not sure of the proper etiquette when userfying pages. Note: I voted for deletion because it obviously fails WP:N at this time, and I had no connection to the article until after the AfD began. Colincbn (talk) 06:09, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
As the closing administrator in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of Asimov's Foundation Series, you decided that there was no consensus between merging the article or deleting it. Keeping the article was not supported even if there was no consensus. The outcome, however, appears to have caused some controversy as you can see here, because the article was not !voted to be kept, but it is being kept because the outcome was no consensus. Per WP:BOLD, I want to do something similar to what Shooterwalker did, only that I would merge all the content from Timeline of Asimov's Foundation Series into Foundation series in a section called Fictional timeline while adding tags about its content such as in-universe and unreferenced. I would like to know if this action would be in accordance with your closure, because I'd rather merge the content like this and replace Timeline of Asimov's Foundation Series with a redirect than leave the article around while a merge discussion takes place. In my experience, merge discussion rarely advance when editors aren't interested in the topic and I believe that discussing the merge will only stall the actual merge and will allow the article Timeline of Asimov's Foundation Series to be kept even though that was not supported in the AfD. Jfgslo (talk) 15:07, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
I think that the outcome of this AfD should be "redirect, no consensus between deleting or merging", not simply no consensus. You should review the outcome of WT:Articles for deletion/Archive 61#RfC: Merge, redirect, which differed from your interpretation. There are now two merge discussions: Talk:Foundation series#Timeline of Asimov's Foundation Series merge discussion. and Talk:Timeline of Asimov's Foundation Series#RfC: merging as outcome of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Timeline of Asimov's Foundation Series. Flatscan (talk) 04:26, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
Looking at the history of that article, I'm seeing large numbers of constructive IP edits, and little vandalism. Could you perhaps reconsider your protection, or point me to the disruption you saw? The RFPP seemed only to cite hypothetical problems. Thanks, Prodego talk 18:40, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Dan SavageHey Cirt - you're always one of those people I'm glad to still see around the Wiki. This was a good read. Haha - I'm glad you included this bit because it gave me a laugh: Savage stated to Keck that he could contribute a weekly advice column with the recommended title of "Hey, Faggot", and this was later modified to become "Savage Love". I still think "Hey, Faggot" would make a good sex/relationship advice column - I'm surprised nobody's snapped that one up. --David Shankbone 22:15, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
ANIHello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.Sadads (talk) 22:20, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Hey Cirt, can you userfy this for me? I have a book from the library now. Best if I don't use admin actions myself on articles I am involved with. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:20, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi Cirt, I just want to know whether a publisher such as Prentice Hall can be considered as reliable source for showing the work of an author? A page on Prentice Hall SO Computing shows the books authored by Thomas Erl and his books were one of the highest rated on Amazon. The link is not owned by the author and hence can be considered an external source. Your inputs will be helpful. Edited by Sanjay (talk) 03:59, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
I would be more than happy to userfy the article for you, so you can work on it in a subpage of your userspace, to attempt to demonstrate notability. -- Cirt (talk) 08:13, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
Deletion of Jonathan StephenI was wondering if you could explain why you deleted this article and said there was consensus when the clearest I could see was an even split in commenting editors. I might also note that at least one editor who has previously said "delete" changed their mind after seeing the additional sources. Where was the consensus clear? To me there were enough sources for this to meet WP:Notability, therefore what criteria were you going off of in this decision? I would have thought at the very least that the "rosh yeshiva" argument noted by Agricola would be enough to keep Stephen, not to mention the numerous references which were updated by other editors. Fountainviewkid 10:18, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
There was consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonathan Stephen for deletion. However, I would be most willing to userfy to someone's userspace subpage, so you can work on it further with the possibility of maybe satisfying WP:NOTE through improvements to the page - if someone wishes to request me to do that. -- Cirt (talk) 16:27, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
Cirt, I.Casaubon is asking you how you reached your decision. To allow him to understand how you weighed the various arguments, would you append an extended closing rationale at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jonathan Stephen? Would you explain how you analyzed the policies and guidelines referenced in the discussion and the strengths/weaknesses of the "keep" and "delete" rationales. At the end of the AfD, I.Casaubon wrote: "I have just added four Korean newspaper accounts, all from google news in 2011." These sources were not rebutted by the "delete" side. Because the sources had already been added to the article at the time of the close, I.Casaubon is wondering why the article should be userfied. The article, in his opinion, has been sufficiently sourced by at least four additional reliable sources. This opinion has yet to be countered. Cunard (talk) 17:45, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
THANKS! That was rather honorable. Fountainviewkid 17:48, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
Thank you, Cirt, for relisting the page. I will contact some users who can read Korean to assess the reliability and depth of the sources. Cunard (talk) 17:52, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
As someone who has contributed to the article and the AfD discussion, I was concerned by your deletion of it. I've just reviewed the discussion and the votes appear to be split approx 50/50, which I would describe as "no consensus", a view which others share. I note that you haven't offered any evidence to argue otherwise. I'd respectfully suggest that your deletion was unjustified and I'm pleased that you've reversed it. I wouldn't claim to be an expert on these matters, but I think deleting an article where there is no clear consensus to do so is against policy and, I'd respectfully ask that you refrain from such actions in the future. Thanks.

Cirt good morning, can you please explain this deletion? I clearly explained how he satisfies NFOOTY, and I also tried to bring sources that he satisfies GNG. What else should one do to avoid these deletions that go against wiki policies? Phil Bridger's comment was on the weakness of NFOOTY. Does that mean that we should disregard it now, since it's weak? --Doktor Plumbi (talk) 11:41, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

FlygrossingMr. Cirt, You have just deleted a wikipedia page about Flygrossing. What is sad for me is the fact that rather than being an international portal of information, as the Internet should be, with different languages..... The fact that some editors could not read the articles in common european languages like Italian or some other languages, like Russian and Estonian, is being ignored. Yet - true, Fly grossing is a new "subject" but the whole idea was to help more people have access to this information world wide and share with them a new "creation" development. Still......on Wikipedia I can find lots of words of vulgarism, is it because there are more articles about it? Sorry - for writing it to you like that - and I do respect your point of view and wikipedia is highly regarded as a source of information. As such - I did not expect it to be deleted.

special requestYou added semiprotection to Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. I have looked to find the specific request made, but can not find an archive availability on Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. In any case, there were no violations of any substantial WP policy, the reasons given by Tenebrae on Talk:Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa are all false: 1) CN insertions were removed because the citations were already there, in the article text. The talk page and hidden text pointed this out. 2)His claim of an unsourced fact is simply false, he didn’t look at the reference given, and he was uncivil in attacking the IP editor who had referenced it. I don’t care and am not requesting unprotection of this page, but your action in approving the protection is being cited by Tenebrae as validation of his claims, and he has escalated this dispute. Tenebrae clearly has a bias against IP editors, and the revision history shows vandalism, as defined by WP; I will be documenting this. Could you please carefully consult Talk:Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and the revision history and re-evaluate your decision to protect? Boringbob4wk (talk) 13:19, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Need advice before I get really angry...I am in a dispute with Icex15 (talk · contribs). He is driving me nuts with his stupid behaviour. He started yesterday with editing on WP, good enough to start immediately with an editwar and 24 hours block. Now he is back and haunting me over a rude remark (polite version: I told him to start using his brain) that was already removed by another admin. I gave him advice over how to sign his edits on talkpages (no effect), over the mentoring project (no effect) and to read the information in the welcoming template (plain refused). He is getting under my skin...
By now I get the idea that is a plain vandal or worse, a troll.

QuestionI just had a quick question, I didn't really know were to ask it, so I asked here. Let's Fish is a stand-alone pilot, which was intended to be a series, but wasn't picked up. Let's Fish is also an English-language American comedy, which features a strong mixture of live action and animation. Would it properly fit into the following categories, even though it ended up just being a pilot and not a full "series"?

Lefa1992 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lefa1992 (talk • contribs) 10:54, 2 June 2011 (UTC) You were the deleting admin on February 2, 2010 of the article Jonathan Keltz. It was a good deletion. The article was recreated January 2011 as a two-sentence unsourced stub and was quickly A7 speedied. No problem with that either, as its author did nothing but write two meagre sentences. But 15 months have gone by and the actor's career has not stood still. He has now completed major roles in three more major productions to now meet WP:ENT, and has the coverage that he lacked back then to now meet WP:GNG.

While we've not had a great deal of direct interaction, I noticed that we've both been involved in several of the same threads lately where you and I disagree on some fundamentals. (the Santorum stuff). I had to note that you have worked extremely hard to be reasonable, compassionate, understanding, and always showing the utmost respect for all editors and their viewpoints. While we may disagree on this particular article, it is a true pleasure to work with someone who shows so much maturity and understanding. Your efforts to find a reasonable compromise in the entire situation have not gone unnoticed. Thank you for being the type of editor and admin. that I think we should all aspire to. Cheers and best. — Ched : ? 14:41, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

SantorumFunny that the discussion of this neologism seems to be best described by another neologism: truthiness, which seems to describe most of the arguments made by those who would see the article removed. In two years, santorum will be eligible for inclusion in the Oxford English Dictionary, and I wouldn't be totally surprised if it winds up there. That would amuse me greatly... but I doubt it would suffice to end the debate. // ⌘macwhiz (talk) 22:40, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

truly disappointedHi, Cirt. May I say I am truly disappointed by both you and C.Fred? Anyway I did not expect you to side with conservatism. I am puzzled by the inappropriate action of deleting "burnt out diabetes" of a likely biased user and by your support for the said actions, in particular by your locking the deletion and for not allowing further discussion on this topic. FYI, the key word "burnt out diabetes" has over 2,000 positing and websites. It is a likely paradigm shifting concept, which, as the history of science and medicine has shown repeatedly, antagonizes traditionalists and those who have minimal tolerance for the scientific progress and for advances in science and medicine. History repeats itself. As for technicality of DELTERION OBJECTOIN (“use conventional methods to protest deletion”), not all people on the planet are as Wikipedia-savvy as certain biased. Instead of supporting people who have mitigated tolerance for new concepts and mark anything for deletion that is not consistent with “their” traditional and science-conservative expectations, you may wish to also support the underdog of the Wikipedia World in the interest of advancing freedom of science and allowing Wikipedia to grow rather than becoming yet another tool in the hands of the monitors of the monitors of the monitors…. Very few people mean vandalism, and to discredit a balanced effort of reviving an unfairly deleted page as "vandalism" and showing least tolerance for such efforts in not consistent with your impressive track record in your website. Hope we see your true you and your advocacy for freedom of science and against scientific fanatics.Burntout1234 (talk) 06:23, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Page protectionJust a friendly reminder - when you add a protection tag to a template like this, make sure you wrap it in <noinclude> tags. :-) Otherwise it's transcluded with the template and makes non-protected articles think they are protected.

your protection to one of my user subpagesCould you please expand the protection for User:Crazymonkey1123/Edit Requests Charts to indefinite, as all of my other pages that were semi-protected because of user request are indefinitely semi-protected, except for User:Crazymonkey1123/Edit Requests Charts, which is why I am asking you to modify it. Thanks! Crazymonkey1123 (Jacob) T or M/Sign mine 23:56, 8 June 2011 (UTC) P.S. The reason I like to have almost all of my user subpages semi-protected because most of the edits made by unregistered or registered non-autoconfirmed user edits to my userspace are not constructive.
Block of User:86.8.218.114Could you explain to me why you used the word vandalism when blocking this user? As far as I can see none of their edits are vandalism but rather are attempts to improve the encyclopaedia. Per WP:VANDALISM that is not vandalism. A block may well have been warranted but I would have thought it would have been for edit warring rather than vandalism. Sorry about this being somewhat after the event but I've only just noticed it and I'm concerned we're being too harsh on this user and don't think describing their edits as vandalism is going to help.

SpeedyYes, please see the edit summary in which I removed gthe sppeedy tag. The article states that the subject is a crowned ehad of state. Thus it is not eligable fopr speedy under those criteria. Secondly the author had placed and "admin-help" template on the page, which seemed to me a bona-fide (if completely broken) attempt to challenge the speedy.

A concernHi Cirt, I have a concern about your editing. On AN/I on May 27, in response to complaints about the interaction between yourself and Jayen, I asked him to consider not filing an RfC on you until some of the heat had died from the situation, because it seemed you were feeling embattled. [18] In return you agreed to take on board the criticism that you seem to edit too much to further what might be personal interests. [19] Now I see on your talk page that you had two DYKs on June 5 for articles you created or expanded about Dan Savage. [20] [21] Savage is the writer who began the neologism campaign against Rick Santorum that you recently expanded the article on, taking it from 1,500 words to over 5,000. You also created Dan Savage bibliography, and three templates to which you added the neologism: Template:Dan Savage, Template:Political neologisms, and Template:Sexual slang. It was this editing, in part, that lay behind the AN/I concerns. On May 29—after the AN/I discussion—you proposed a third DYK related to Savage, [22] on May 30 a fourth, [23] on June 1 a fifth, [24] and today a sixth. [25] I'm confused about this, and would appreciate an explanation. SlimVirgin TALK|CONTRIBS 05:55, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of Popcaan and other 'poorly sourced BLPs'Can you explain your deletion of Popcaan? It does not appear to have been deleted within any established process.

Deletion of article on Ed Alleyne-JohnsonYou deleted the article on the above named. (See discussion [28]). FYI, Ed Alleyne-Johnson was a member of New Model Army in the late 1980s, a band from Bradford, UK, formed in the early 1980s. During his tenure with the band, he recorded two very popular albums on EMI with them (Thunder & Consolation, 1989 and Impurity, 1990), respectively reaching #20 and #23 in the UK albums chart. He toured with them for five years. He is recognized as coining (in collaboration with the band) a new, "folky" sound in alternative rock. The mere fact that he now chooses to mostly busk and has since only recorded less popular albums should not be taken as a reason to present him as "unencyclopaedic". 89.168.157.63 (talk) 10:44, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
DYKAfter I saw the issues unfold about about SlimVirgin's concerns I took some time to look back over your contributions. You seemed to do very good work, and it seems a shame that the DYK project should lose out on your contributions. I just want to stop by give give a few words of encouragement. Judging from the initial response there it is clear your work on that project will be missed. I know you don't wish to rock the boat, and are taking a bit of a break, but don't let they keyboard get too cold. I think the only major concern was that the main page was unintentionally promoting Dan Savage a bit too much, and you should feel free to contribute about other topics that your interested in, when your ready to pick it up again.

Please comment there if you have an opinion.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:42, 18 June 2011 (UTC) Invitation to the Bacon Challenge 2012 Hello! You have been invited to take part in the Bacon Challenge 2012. In case you don't know or need a refresher, the Bacon Challenge is an annual celebration of bacon on Wikipedia in which editors come together to help create, expand, and improve Wikipedia's coverage of bacon. The event lasts all the way through National Pig Day 2012, giving participants plenty of time to work at their pleasure. In addition to the Bacon Challenge is the Bacon WikiCup 2012, a side event to the Challenge in which all bacon-related contributions done by those participating in the Challenge are submitted and scored by the scorekeeper (me) based on the scoring chart. At the end of the Challenge, the user with the most points in the Bacon WikiCup will win a shiny trophy for their userpage. In addition, the users who score the highest in specific categories (not yet finalized, but the categories include most image uploads, most article creations, most DYK submissions, and more) will win barnstars. Finally, all participants will receive a medal. While the awards are nice, in the end, the important thing is to have fun and enjoy what we're all here for, which is improving Wikipedia. If you decide to participate, great! You may add your name to the participants list at the main page of the Bacon Challenge 2012, and pick up the userbox for your userpage if you desire. Signing up for the Challenge will also automatically enter you into the Bacon WikiCup. If you don't wish to participate, that's fine too - maybe next year! In the meantime, if you know anyone who might also be interested in participating, feel free to invite them! The Challenge is open to anyone and accepts participants at any time, so feel free to let anyone who might be interested know. Note that I, the scorekeeper of the Bacon WikiCup, will be on vacation starting on the 18th of June all the way up until the 5th of July. I will have limited access to the internet, so I may or may not be able to score users' contributions during this time. Sorry for any delay in scoring (but since the Challenge lasts for more than half a year, there's no rush, right? (= ). I'm looking forward to another fun, successful year. Thanks! ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 22:46, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

User NestleNW911Hi Cirt, I was reading the Scientology page yesterday and noted church propaganda in there. I did some research and it turns out the sequence of events is as follows. After using OSA dead agent files on Tony Ortega (look for his may 17th edit of the talk page) Nestle was able to get another user to delete the Tom Cruise confessional files from the David Miscavige page on june 13th. Perhaps encouraged by this success, Nestle has been adding church propaganda to both Miscavige's page and the Scientology page in the last couple of days. I am in the proces of getting them reversed (I signed up yesterday, so no can do myself). However, since it is becoming obvious that Nestle is a Sea Org/OSA operative and not a Scientology enthusiast, I was wondering if the Scutterbug sockpuppet case against Nestle should be reopened. If you would care to take a look, I'd appreciate. Thanks, Startwater (talk) 15:56, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi Cirt. I was confused by the changes you made to this page [29]. It caused all the featured content to disappear from the portal. The area under the "Featured content" heading became completely blank apart from the star icon. I've reverted the change for now, but perhaps it was in preparation for a future bot run? Let me know what I should do as I'm not keen on leaving the section blank. I'm also not sure if we need a bot to do this. We have a relatively small amount of featured content and it's easy to keep track of.

Yes I know, I've been nominating lot of dead WikiProjects for deletion at WP:MFD like WikiProject Conan O'Brien, WikiProject MythBusters and WikiProject Star Wars Music which had been deleted due to very narrow scope and low activity, including attempted deletions like WikiProject Discworld and WikiProject Media franchises which had been kept. Would you mind if you discuss this? Thanks. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 07:04, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Improvident DeletionCirt: I wanted to discuss the deletion of the article on Scott M. Seaman with you prior to challenging the deletion further. I was in the process of researching and improving the article after reading the last couple of comments submitted yesterday. The article on its face demonstrates notability. The subject's legal writings on insurance law (particularly on allocation and excess insurance have been recognized by state and federal courts across the country as authoritative and have been relied upon by courts in rendering decisions that bind the parties and set precedent. The subject has been counsel in several important, precedent setting insurance cases and that is reflected by specific citations. These citations are all independent of the subject. I appreciate that those commenting may not be lawyers, but notability and solid sourcing should be apparent to any fair minded reader. That Seaman’s books and articles have been recognized by courts and by insurance commentators is beyond cavil as reflected not only by the existing citations, but also be some of the additonal citations I was in the process of adding. For example, Plastics Engineering Co. v. Liberty Mut. Ins. Co. 514 F.3d 651 (7th Cir. 2008) (federal circuit court of appeal); Aquino v. Pacesetter Adjustment Co., 416 F.Supp.2d 181 (D.Mass. 2005) (federal district court); Spaulding Composites Co., Inc. v. Aetna Casualty and Surety Company, 176 N.J. 25, 819 A.2d 410 (N.J. Sup.

Some of his legal awards are sourced to the institution providing them. As to his charible work, the article was sourced and shows notability by virtue of fundraising, educational activities, formatinon of a chapter of an organization and forming another organization. People are included in this on-line source just by virtue of hosting a radio or television show or writing a book. The article on its face demonstrates that the subject hosts a television and radio show, wrote a book on cancer, and writes a column on cancer and was instrumental in forming a walk that is in multiple cities. He has been awarded for his work. My research already revealed the subject was profiled in numerous publications including the Chicago Sun Times, The Daily Herald, My Suburban Press, etc. Couple Honored for Fight Against Cancer Daily Herald (Nov. 5, 2007); Fight against a disease becomes a campaign, Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, Vol 153 No. 207 (Oct.22, 2007); Chicago Sun Times, (Oct. 30, 2007) (Stella Foster noting in her column that subject was being honored at gala for establishing chapter for lymphoma research); "Couple honored for cancer work” My Suburban Life/Bartlett Press Newspaper, Nov. 2007, available at http://www.mysuburbanlife.com/bartlett/news/x799508674; Local couple's bike-ride fundraiser to benefit cancer research My Suburban Life/Bartlett Press Newspaper My Suburban Life/Bartlett Press Newspaper, Sept. 2010, available at http://www.mysuburbanlife.com/bartlett/archive/x90334335/Local-couples-bike-ride-fundraiser-to-benefit-cancer-research; “Service awards” Chicago Sun Times (Nov. 4, 2010), available at http://www.suntimes.com/news/foster/2241982-452/chicago-awards-nov-wednesday-service.html.

ItsLassieTimeJust thought I'd stop by to tell you that the ItsLassieTime situation has been ongoing in my life for over six months, and I've had enough of it. The continual socking is also ongoing. When I realized who 56*** was, I decided to take myself away from your review. I would however suggest that you try to find some publishing industry sources, something from Publisher's Weekly or the like, to nail down print-runs, promotions, and sales. Sometimes I'm successful finding such information at Accessmylibrary. For whatever this is worth. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 15:03, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Semi-protect "Cody Rhodes"?Hello Cirt, I saw you semi-protected Zack Ryder so could you consider semi-protecting Cody Rhodes as well?

RfC/UDear Cirt, further to our recent discussions, please see Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Cirt. I am sorry this has become necessary. You are an immensely capable and talented editor, but I feel that your allegiance to various outside causes exceeds your allegiance to the project's mission, as defined by the Foundation; that this has compromised the project's standing; and that it has caused many editors who care very much about this project to question its integrity. I hope this RfC/U and the discussions resulting from it will help us to move forward, will enable you to re-evaluate why you are here, and will help us get back on track to work towards the aims all of us signed up for: creating an online encyclopedia, in comradeship and mutual respect, committed to a neutral point of view, authored with respect for living persons, based on accurate distillation of high-quality sources, and devoted to the aim of giving every single person on the planet free access to the sum of all human knowledge.

RfC outcome of Timeline of Asimov's Foundation SeriesI contacted you a month ago about an AfD outcome since you were the closing administrator.

I would like to know what should I do in order to close the discussion and proceed to merge the content and redirect the article. As I am the one that proposed the merge in the first place, I feel that it might not be appropriate for me to close the discussion and I do not want to proceed until I'm sure that the process has been properly followed. So, should I proceed immediately with the merge and redirect or should I wait for some other process? Jfgslo (talk) 04:04, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

FPoC London TransportDear Cirt, I'm not sure why you need help closing FPo discussions and carrying out the promotion steps - you are, after all, a FPo director and the list of closing instructions is quite clear. In fact, you left your message more than 24 hours after I last edited, and more than 48 hours have passed since then, which is hardly an ideal situation. From my watchlist, I see that the portal's nominator has made a start on finishing your half-started job, which is good of him but not something that he should have to do. I would have thought that it would have been sensible either to ask me first whether I wanted to help do your job for you, or do the job yourself once you realised that I hadn't edited for some time after your message. However, as I note that you're not online at the moment (perhaps because of July 4, I know not) I'll see what steps still need doing and finish off for you. Perhaps next time you might want to ask your fellow FPo director to assist if I'm not online. I'm not annoyed, by the way, just slightly puzzled. Regards, BencherliteTalk 11:34, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Two issues with this deletion, one is that I believe it to be notable, however that is up for debate if I had a chance to comment. I have this article on my watch list however no changes had made other that deletion in the recent period. I suspect therefore the article did NOT have an AFD tag on it, and thus there was no AFD discussion. Regards, SunCreator (talk) 16:21, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

The Hex Girls againWhat's up? As you might recall we had a previous discussion about your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Hex Girls as delete. To reiterate, I thought that in light of the sources I'd found and added to the article, that concerns about lack of sources had been met and "the most drastic action needed here is at most maybe a merge to another Scooby-Doo related article, but certainly not complete deletion." However, other editors and yourself disagreed and thought deletion was the best outcome and you deleted it. But I see today that some other editor(s) has merged Hex Girls information into List of Scooby-Doo characters.[34] My first instinct after seeing this was to turn the The Hex Girls article you deleted into a redirect to List_of_Scooby-Doo_characters#The_Hex_Girls and then improve upon the section there, however I can see how that could be seen as disregarding the AFD consensus since this recommendation was rejected there, and I can see how this could turn into another gigantic waste of my time after it all gets deleted again. So, I thought I'd come here first and ask: Do you have a problem with me turning The Hex Girls into a redirect of List_of_Scooby-Doo_characters#The_Hex_Girls and improving that section? That is, can I now go ahead and work on my recommendation to "merge to another Scooby-Doo related article" even though that suggestion was rejected? Sharksaredangerous (talk) 17:01, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
I see that you closed the deletion discussion for Discrete Green's theorem. However, the article still exists under the title of Antiderivative theorem.

For now, it all works rather well." - the is from our 2008 E3 Coverage (http://www.actiontrip.com/features/e32008fallout3.phtml). - Two quotes on BioWare's official web site for Dragon Age Origins here's the URL - http://dragonage.bioware.com/dao/home/accolades/ Action Trip - 2009 Reader's Choice Game of the Year "With a well-written storyline, great atmosphere and old-school RPG gameplay, this title justifies every penny of its $60 price tag." Action Trip - 2009 Reader's Choice Game of the Year "The game has all the elements you need to immerse yourself in an interesting new fantasy setting." ActionTrip's comics garnerned tremendous attention, on various topics. Here are some of our successful comics. http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/14/weekly-webcomic-wrapup-is-mourning-cathy/ http://wow.joystiq.com/tag/action-trip/ These are just a few examples. Comics were generally a great success and now have a history on AT. We've been posting them for over seven years. Our Warcraft-related comics were also acknowledged both by Blizzard and WoW fans.

Employment Law AllianceHi Cirt, I am writing you in the hope that you will undelete the entry Employment Law Alliance. My reasoning is based on several issues: 1) Page in question was recently brought into compliance with respect to the addition of numerous third-party references both a) confirming the identity of the organization; and b) highlighting polls done by the organization which, in and of themselves, meet the definition of notable. 2) If you review the page's content you will see that no content is intended to be promotional or construed as an advertisement. This organization is identical in nature to that of an alliance of airlines such as the Star alliance. Timestaking efforts to ensure that the page was in compliance were made. A claim that somehow this is similar to a situation where "a sells concrete and b pours it" overly simplistic. By this logic, when Delta sells a plane ticket and a person flies on a partner airline then a similar situation occurs. And yet, Delta's airline alliance page is not called in to question. Please reconsider this deletion. Mabond17 (talk) 23:40, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

But if it's not me who wants add the content to page, I just want to make page work again, or it should be me who add also content...if I understand correctly I should put tag WP:NOTE and then you can verify the content? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martaliepa (talk • contribs) 16:06, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
But maybe it's possible to make just new page, but with the same title? Or it doesn't work like this? Martaliepa (talk) 16:22, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Assistance, Please.Can you please block 50.9.109.170 (talk) from the Cheney Mason article. Evidently, from what I gather, he removed the unfavorable fact of Mason's having allegedly extended his middle finger in an obscene manner, as photographed by an AP photographer, upon the acquittal of his client, Casey Anthony in the infamous murder trial; I just attempted to restore this, which involves the work of another user, but I'm afraid he'll remove it again. It's an infamous incident, and it needs to stay in here. Can you perhaps also lock the article, as I'm afraid it may be subject to further loss/vandalism; I'm a newbie, so I don't know how to do it.

If I had noticed I would have put up a reasonable argument to keep it. It was nominated for deletion a year ago but kept. I feel that the points made then along with an up to date aurgument to keep it would probably have kept it. Is is a reasonable request ot have it reinstated and continue the debate? Thanks for your time. Rickedmo (talk) 22:34, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Cirt, thanks for that and thanks for the offer to userfy the article. Over the last year the article had been edited quite a bit to get a balance between some (I think) noteworthy information about one of Paul Simon's muses who is mentioned in four of his songs, and protecting the current privacy of the muse. Some of the articles regarding the songs themselves had links to the Kathy Chitty article which are now broken. I could, of course, include the background information on the inspiration of the songs in the individual song articles, but as there are a number of songs - I think four - that refer to her, it seems the wrong way round to repeat the relavant information regarding Ms Chitty in each article - it seems more sensible to have an article about her that can be linked to. I can develop this argument further if required and would have done if I'd been paying attention when the article was nominated for deletion. I don't think the quality of the article was the main challenge, but the notability. I strongly feel she is sufficiently notable. Regards and thanks for your time. Rickedmo (talk) 12:44, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Cirt, thanks for that. Please userfy the article on Kathy Chitty. Regards Rickedmo (talk) 18:51, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Cirt, many thanks. I've had a read through the lastest verson, as deleted, and will make a few minor changes and search out some more references, but I can't see me making dramatic changes. But anyway, I'll do my best before reinstating it. Thanks again. Rickedmo (talk) 22:02, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Block evasionHi, Cirt, and thank you for putting a 31-hour block on the edit-warring anon IP 205.209.83.211. He now appears to be making the same contentious edits (which more than one editor has been reverting) under the name Worstcook (talk). Worstcook's list of contributions mirrors that of 205.209.83.211, and here is one example of an identical edit and a near-identical edit summary:

Deletion of Work (book)You deleted my article, Work (book), due to concerns of the notability of the subject. That was the right call at the time, but now I believe it is time to have a more thorough discussion about this. At least 1000 copies of the book have been shipped, and probably several times that figure if distribution of Crimethinc's other books is any indication. It is available on Amazon, and a well-known artist did the cover art. On Wikipedia, it is better to err on the side of including something versus not including it when it comes to notability issues. I think the article should be restored. --SuperEditor (talk) 17:56, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
PettideeI was looking for the page on Pettidee and it appears to have been deleted. I believe I can repair this page to make it meet wikipedia standards.

I would like to respectfully ask you to reconsider, based on a couple of points.
I would humbly request you to reconsider the use of "MIX Magazine" (online and off) to be a dubious reference. MIX has been one of music industry's leading trade magazines for at least 30 years. Although they were owned for a time by Penton Media, the magazine was separate from the PR organization. Recording schools often make sure to note if one of the grads or faculty makes it into MIX; they consider it a "big deal." For example (http://www.audiorecordingschoolblog.com/2011/07/13/grads-featured-in-mix-magazine/ or http://www.audiorecordingschoolblog.com/category/game-audio/), http://www.berklee.edu/bt/193/alumnotes.html, http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colleges/CAM/faculty/meis/jermance/Pages/index.aspx. The "TEC" award, founded by MIX, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEC_Awards) is also very highly regarded in the industry. GameSoundCon was the first public showing of the previously private tools used to develop music for the video game, Rock Band (published by MTV/Viacom). This became part of the launch of "The Rock Band Network" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Band_Network) a highly notable event. This is covered in a "gamasutra" article here: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/25015/GameSoundCon_Adds_Rock_Band_Network_Classes.php Gamasutra is the leading online resource for the entire game development community. Your largest concern seemed (justifiably) to be about the "GamesOpt.com" reference. That was poor judgement to use a non-vetted source (especially one obviously trying to capitalize on users who make a typo when trying to find GameSpot.com). Since I knew the information to be accurate, I didn't vet rest of the site properly. There were many sites which had referenced Marty O'Donnell (Halo Composer) keynoting the kickoff conference -- I picked a bad one (at one point, Marty had it listed on his own page). I hope you will take the above into consideration and reconsider the deletion of the page. I hope I am using the appropriate wiki-etiquette in making this request. One of the Wiki pages on Deletion Review recommended contacting the closing administrator by way of their talk page :) Thank you for your time.

UK Wrestling Experience MayhemAnother Deleted Page was the page "UK Wrestling Experience Mayhem". This page was information about a weekly TV program which airs on Sky television. The show gets better viewing figures according to the BARB than many other programs which seem to warrant having a page. The network which screens it has just announced they will be screening the show in a primetime slot with full commercial advertising and it will now be on 3 times a week. It has now been running for 6 months and is still the only British wrestling on television. The show features a number of top british wrestlers who are deemed relevant enough to have their own pages on here so it seems odd that the only TV show they can be seen in doesn't warrant a page. Could you please consider reinstating the page to allow people to ensure the sources used fit guidelines and the article is fully expanded? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.120.39 (talk) 00:37, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
