Please read my notice regarding deletion reviews.
Welcome to my talk pageYou are also invited to email me at: jerry@lavoie.com. Occasionally I repost emails that I receive to this talk page, however I remove sensitive material and personally-identifying information, such as email address, first. I frequently collapse sections once I think the conversation is done. The section will appear as a purple bar with a summary and a link that says "show". If you are leaving me a follow-on comment for such a collapsed section, please add the new comments below the collapsed section, NOT in it. If you add comments inside a collapsed section, I may never see them.

Notice regarding deletion reviews This user is an active closing administrator at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you are considering initiating a formal review of a recent closing, it is requested that you attempt to have a discussion with me first, as suggested by the instructions at the top of WP:DRV. Please give me at least one day to respond, and keep in mind that we may be in different time zones. If you have a valid reason that my determination of consensus may be flawed, I do appreciate the opportunity to consider it and revert my own closing or explain to you my difference of opinion without the wikidrama that is often created at DRV. If you are here to drop me a template notice of a DRV that you have already initiated, but we have not discussed it yet, please consider closing that delrev and talking with me first. Just add the comment "please close this discussion until I have a chance to discuss this with the closing administrator per WP:DRV" to the discussion, and an administrator will surely close it shortly (as long as other editors have not significantly participated yet). Thank-you for your consideration. New discussionsHelp please ...Hi there, Jerry. I created the article The Legendary Estates of Beverly Hills - Unfortunately it was deleted March 31st for containing some criteria for "speedy deletion". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legendary_Estates_of_Beverly_Hills) I sincerely regret that it's just now that I'm able to take actions or seek some help. Is there any way that you can retrieve it for me, so I can do the necessary edits? I hope it's not too late. Thank you very much. I'd truly appreciate your help. Jxc5 (talk) 17:34, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
AfD of David PatchenHi Jerry. Wanted to drop you a note to try and find out what your thought processes were for closing the David Patchen article with Keep. The consensus was 5 for and 5 against, exclusive of the keep vote of the article subject and primary author, namely User_talk:Davidpatchen. I am relatively new to editing Wikipedia, although I have been registered some time, and I am trying to learn the correct processes and procedures. I certainly do not want to waste anyone's time! With the above article, I have been completely unable to find any reliable sources, the sources that are provided are not reliable third-party sources, plus I did leave User_talk:Davidpatchen a note regarding what I believe to be Wikipedia policies regarding notability. There has been zero activity in the article since the AfD nomination, other than my occasional addition of tagging. The article has been stagnant for almost a year, with no content provided by anyone other than the article subject. I do obviously disagree that this article meets notability requirements for Wikipedia. I appreciate your insight. Best regards. --Chasingsol(talk) 04:22, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Fashion story AfDThat was an excellent explanation of why the Fashion story article should be deleted. I'll be using parts of it in similar discussions later. Thanks for crystallizing my thoughts precisely. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:44, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Apology accepted, and thanks for adding the content. I'm not very good at creating new text, and I make no bones about being firmly on the deletionist side of the inclusionist/deletionist divide, but I try to do more than just placing tags. For my part here, I made a couple of fixes in the article, fixed a double redirect that was created by the page move, and repointed some existing links to the new title. Thanks again for your hard work, and take care. --Finngall talk 06:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC) Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Radwan Dąbrowski-Żądło Family and civilityAs the neutral admin who have seen attitude of all editors, perhaps you could comment here? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 12:59, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
Hello, Jerry!
Hello Jerry, thanks for the note and glad to hear from you and to see that you are still active too. In the past year I have gotten very involved in peer review and was fairly active in DYK before that - I sometimes feel I am under-using the mop and bucket though. Hard to believe it has been a year already.

Hello Jerry, someone is trying to delete the page I just created. what's wrong ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seobob (talk • contribs) 16:32, 27 February 2009 (UTC) The article's surmountable problems were corrected and while the deletion debate raged, the article was moved for editing to: Żądło-Dąbrowski z Dąbrówki h. Radwan
Before going to deletion review, this is how I've seen the debate, which should be considered in light of the new article, not the old. The old delete votes apply to the old article with the problems that caused everyone so much consternation. It's not so much any attachment to this peculiar family that concerns me regarding this debate. The subject of the article, if you take a look at the footnotes of the new article, is notable, and the subject has been noted for centuries. The main objection seems to be the article is genealogical in nature. I don't think it is. There are three known notable members of this family. Having to discuss the same family background in three separate articles seems ridiculous, and that's why there needs to be an article that summarizes their family background. Summary: The article "Radwan Dąbrowski-Żądło Family" was deleted. I believe the article deletion nomination was ill-considered. The article, at the time of the deletion nomination, had surmountable problems. The problems were in the process of being fixed, while the deletion debate raged. The subject of the article is notable, if one checks the verifiable, widely-published, third-party references included in the article. In particular, the subject of the article is a family part of the immemorial Polish nobility. In the 18th century, nobility tracing its origins before the 15th century represented only 5% of the noble population as a whole. I believe that makes this family, the subject of the article, notable, particularly since the family has notable members, too. SEE: http://books.google.com/books?id=MnwmMOWK-PsC&pg=PA136&lpg=PA136 I also feel the motives behind the deletion nomination of the article were made in bad faith. The deletion nomination, and the subsequent delete votes, seemed to be more about this article being an attempt by some champion of an upstart noble family to seek praise and glory on Wikipedia. That was not the intent. The article on nobility clearly states the term nobility originally meant those who were known or notable. This family, who appears in several widely-published academic sources, is inherently notable. This is documented and the evidence supplied with the article. Also, there are notable members of the family, with articles of their own. It seems ridiculous not to have a separate article on their background, given the family they've come from is notable. Without the article on their family, the same information about their background needs to be repeated in several articles. This is not good. I do not think the article deserved deletion nomination in the first place, as notability is separate from fame, importance, or popularity. Exxess (talk) 23:16, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Basketball sleeveHello, I'm a bit puzzled about your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Basketball sleeve. No one advocated deletion, and it doesn't seem that the content was merged anywhere. Zagalejo^^^ 17:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Robert Wone AfDI'd actually rather you un-relisted it and closed it as "no consensus"--right now, there's a DYK that's being held up here, and relisting it effectively kills the DYK. I, obviously, believe it should be kept, and think the consensus is that it should be kept, but I can live with a "no consensus" close. Alternatively, if you felt like un-relisting it so that it stuck around until an admin who felt like closing it would have time to evaluate it, that would be OK too. Regardless, "relisting" isn't likely to do anything but garner more keep votes, since the article has been expanded extensively during the course of the AfD. I know that's a big hurkin' mess to read, and I can see why a relisting might appear to be the best course of action, but I'm respectfully requesting you examine other options. Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 05:23, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Jewish stereotypes deletionHi - I just created a redirect from the 3rd nomination (which was deleted) to the second nomination. I am just trying to be helpful so that people following old links and watch pages will find it. If that mungs things up, please feel free to delete my redirect. Incidentally, I think you did a yeoman's job dealing with a contentious, complex AfD - I would respect your decision either way. Wikidemon (talk) 09:46, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
AfdRegarding this, I think you're adding a day too early. I believe five full days should elapse before AfD discussions should be closed. No? To check yourself, no day should appear twice at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, so if a day shows up as a current discussion, it should not show up as an old discussion too. Thanks. You can reply here. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:43, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
(dedent) Just to reemphasize, I am not closing the discussions by listing the logpage on AFDO. The admins who close the discussions (yes, including myself) might be not following strict policy, if that's the interpretation of policy one is going by. But the act of listing the discussions on AFDO is by itself not covered in any policy that I am aware of. As you can see by revieweing mathbot's edits after I add the pages, there are often less than 15 discussions left on the log by that time, and never more than 50; that's out of always more that 100 discussions that were initially there.

AFD Randy OlerHi there, you recently closed an AFD for Randy Oler Memorial Operation Toy Drop. I was wondering whether you'd be willing to reconsider the result please. The result was a "delete", a rough look at the !votes would suggests to me that they were tied. I also feel that the common reason for deletion, "no significant coverage other than in specialized or local media", was successfully answered by the keepers;
I would say that the tie makes this at least a "no consensus", but as the AFD is only 5 days old anyway, I would be more than happy for it to be "relisted to gain a consensus". Would you consider this please? Thankyou for taking the time to read this, I hope I didn't confuse you with my above directions ;) Ryan4314 (talk) 06:10, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I notice that you closed this without comment so I figured I'd ask you about it. There seemed to be good arguments both for keep and delete, with the major difference being based on different peoples interpretation of when a source qualifies as "independent of the subject" per WP:N. It seems to me that this AfD was bound to end up with "No Consensus" or maybe even "Keep" and did not expect a "Delete" Can you please clarify? Thanks. Raitchison (talk) 20:24, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
RE of Werner KeilHi Jerry, As your email does not seem to work so well, please allow me to repeat the question why you delete one Individual Java Community Process Executive Committee (EC) member Werner Keil, while the only other Individual Member, Doug Lea in the same (SE/EE) part has a page which on the other hand he did not even know of (and care or consent) I am not telling you to remove his, although he might do so, but the unfair discrimination of one EC or even just normal JCP member over another one is equally disrespective as if you deleted Ralph Nader just for being an Independent US Presidential candidate with little or no resources compared to Obama or McCain. Thanks and Regards, Creative Arts & Technologies P.s.: Help by proper support on how to use this {compu-bio-stub} (it seems, this is where the article should come from) is highly appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Catmedia (talk • contribs)
Thanks for the reply. Instead of philosophy about how relevant or logical you consider the Java Community Process or Sun Microsystems (after all one of Wikipedia's powerful sponsers or even providers of your infrastructure !! ;-) could you please explain how this entry causing Doug Lea's inclusion here ("stub") works, so I can work on using that in the proper way.

AWT (talk) 19:50, 14 January 2009 (UTC) "banter"Discussion of systemic bias on Wikipedia is not "banter," particularly when it relates directly to the deletion (or non-deletion) of an article. In this case, we were discussing the fact that Wikipedians have a documented bias toward being young, white, overprivileged, male, and nerdy, and that this bias is responsible for giving disproportionate importance to schools (and thus lists of highschools). SmashTheState (talk) 14:31, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
What I wrote was hardly banter. What it WAS, was a follow-up to let others participating in the discussion know that I had read what they had referenced for their arguments, found it unconvincing, and kept my position of Delete. Can you please give me the wikipedia guideline that relates specificially to banter and how it gives you the right to put our arguments down the memory hole? I'm having some trouble finding it. Thanks. —Drvoke (talk) 22:04, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Mandsford (talk) 01:46, 19 January 2009 (UTC) Your opinion please...I have updated the Wikipedia article about Melih Abdulhayoglu, the CEO of Comodo. I would value your opinions and edits of the article. This time I have tried extra-hard to keep the tone neutral. I would really appreciate your suggestions. I feel that Melih is notable, not only for his patents, but also for his philanthropy. Because of Melih's business model, Comodo ensures that every Internet user has access to free firewall, antivirus and other security software. Comodo security software is now installed on 10 million computers worldwide. I don't know how to explain this on Melih's bio without sounding like puffery, but I wanted you to know about it.

Is it normal procedure to delete a category when the only opinion expressed is that of the editor proposing deletion? Personally, I think that deciding an issue that has attracted so little interest in favor of the status quo is a safer policy. Regarding the category itself, I would have voted against its deletion. While it is certainly not heavily used, I think that it is potentially useful for identifying collaborators on some projects, and does little harm to leave in the database. -- Meyer (talk) 02:56, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Your closing of an MfDHello, I've been away for a long while, and I've just come back to discover there was an AfD just after I left concerning something I was interested in, namely: I've noticed that you closed it as a 'speedy keep and mark as failed policy proposal'. I agree with the 'speedy keep', but I was wondering if you could tell me where, from the people's comments at the MfD, you concluded that it should be marked as a failed policy proposal, the proposal having only been 3 weeks old at that point, and the MfD not having been open for long enough to reach such a final conclusion about its success/failure.

Regarding a Deletion Review for the Deaf Wikipedians category [[1]]The grandfather vote is referred to [[2]] here (it's the third vote). I have a tally of the actual vote results at my talkpage and it seems that it was globally 6 keep, 7 delete and 1 abstain, with individual subsections going from 8k-5d-1a for Deaf to 6-7-1 for most of the others. The vote itself was declared "Delete All per strength of augments", however, the only augment I can trace is
Along with a mention that deceased wikipedians also exists. In the case of deaf, the idea that deaf people can form a cultural group is, while contested by some people, not original research, and in many cases it would be trivial to actually dig research about some of these groups and collaboration. There is currently a wikiproject: deaf among other things, which puts the lie to the idea that it was a valid comment, and it would also then put the question: what of other categories? Ethnic categories, too, then, would be subject to this kind of question but are ignored because that kind of association is relatively expected and taken for granted, whereas Deaf gets recreated and deleted every once in a while because of a grandfather vote that was swayed by augments that ignored the community elements of some of the subcategories put to the vote rather than any consensus. Which is why I think this should be reconsidered. Thank you for your time. Snapdragonfly (talk) 08:52, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Category:SudetenlandHi Jerry, it looks like you removed Category:Sudetenland because it was empty. There are a large number of articles that would fall into this category so I'd like to recreate it. Just to give you an idea click here. I'd like to make it a sub of Category:History of Germany by location --Hutcher (talk) 05:47, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
Belated reply, re: starting with the left pinkyOn New Year's Eve, you wrote:
They've already gone beyond the left pinky. See Shadow Hand. Reminds me of this If that's not freaky enough, they've progressed incrementally from there. See Robonaut. It won't be long before they have an android that is at least as functional as a human being. What will happen then? Food for thought, The Transhumanist 21:33, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

MSU InterviewDear Jerry, My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you. Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you. Sincerely, Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 23:01, 15 February 2012 (UTC) Happy Birthday (2012)
