Speedy deletion nomination of Peter Barr
A tag has been placed on Peter Barr requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You PRODded this, I deleted it, but that has been challenged, so see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sophie Louise Bay. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:00, 5 November 2013 (UTC) QSORe this edit, are you saying that receiving a QSO makes you automatically notable? If so, is there broad agreement on this? I'm not questioning your stance, I'm just trying to clarify whether I understand you correctly. One consequence of this is that we should redlink recipients of the QSO on the Birthday Honours pages etc. Schwede66 17:30, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Before you do that again, please check the editing history of the article first. Wikipedia is a public website and many articles are edited by tens, hundreds of people. Leaving a message to the article nominator for something which has taken place since it was created is poor wikipedianship. If you're going to template people, at least get your facts straight and find who added the offensive/problematic material.

Are those who place {{prod}} tags expected to comply with the advice of WP:BEFORE? Because, if they are, no offense, but I think your efforts fell short with your {{prod}} of The Victim of Lust. About half a minute with google's book search confirmed for me that there existed numerous books that covered The Victim of Lust, which seems to have been not merely a forgotten and forgettable piece of 19th century smut, but rather one of the most popular and best remembered 19th century books of this genre. Bram Stoker, author of the original Dracula novel wrote about it. I added some more references, and removed your {{prod}}.

Could you explain more fully your concerns over Robert S. Pierson (ship) and Saginaw (ship, 1953)?You placed {{prod}} tags on Robert S. Pierson (ship) and Saginaw (ship, 1953). I have started dozens of articles on vessels. The last time any of them were challenged were these four:
From your contribution history you seem to be well-intentioned quality control volunteer. I think the guy who made those four nominations was wikihounding me. I questioned him when he and some other India nationalists were making some really lousy and policy-noncompliant arguments in a {{tfd}} related to the India/Pakistan conflict over Kashmir. The comment where he withdrew his first nomination said: "Withdrawing nomination Although this still fails WP:GNG but only because everyone else feels this boat is a Ship and lack of WP:NSHIPS and WP:NBOATS (no clear notability guidelines so far)". It is true that there is no WP:NSHIPS and WP:NBOATS. But, I think if you look at the {{afd}}s you will see that there is a pretty firm consensus that vessels of this type are notable. One participant in those discussions suggested that the rule of thumb could be vessels longer than 30 metres or 100 feet. I have my own rule of thumb. So, if you think these vessels are non-notable for some reason that didn't apply to the Kwasind, Ongiara (ship, 1885), Frankfurt (icebreaker) and Keiler, could you explain that reasoning more fully? The two vessels in question are special purpose lake freighters. There are currently about 100 lake freighters, the oldest being about 100 years old (fresh water freighters don't wear out nearly as quickly as salt water vessels), and maybe there one or two hundred former vessels. When there are sufficient references -- about as many as in these two articles -- I think we could cover them all. Note: these vessels will probably carry more than a billion dollars worth of cargo, over their lifetimes. The Edmund Fitzgerald, the lake vessel that sank, and whose loss was commemorated in the song, The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, is probably the most famous lake vessel. Another approach would be to only cover vessels as famous as the Edmund Fitzgerald, that were wrecked spectacularly. But that would be very biased coverage, implying these vessels were much more unsafe than they actually are. If you choose not explain your reasoning more fully I will remove those {{prod}} tags in a couple of days, linking to this comment as my explanation. Cheers!

Regarding your query on my talk page, Geo Swan: I have not looked at your specific case; sorry, I should have spelled that out. I have worked a lot with Stuartyeates and he has always been a very good editor. There are people niggling on his talk page about a series of 3000 or so stubs that he once created and that was one of the best things anybody ever did on WP; it's hugely helpful for NZ editors to have all that stubs. Hence, I disagree, in a general sense, that there is something on Stuartyeates' talk page that points to a wider problem.

Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:08, 27 November 2013 (UTC) You dropped something by my talk page about this page. It is terrible and should be deleted in its (then) current form. However, that is not the page I created, which was a straightforward redirect to the Brazilian Ministry of National Integration which is perfectly notable. You may want to drop something by the talk page of whoever created the (rather awful) (then) current page but for now I'm just deleting everything (it's something like a line of unsourced text between several large templates complaining about the line of text) and restoring my redirect. If that doesn't fix the problem and I have to go somewhere to explain why there should be a redirect, let me know. Otherwise, good show letting the page creator know about the process but remember to check if the original page was a redirect to something else. Restoring it might fix the problem you had with the current page. — LlywelynII 23:38, 28 November 2013 (UTC) Hm. Apparently this has happened to you before.

Non-notable?Re your "non-notable" tag on the article on the 1936 film The Wagon and the Star which I created, and which was red-linked on the List of New Zealand films, I had already included a reference to Martin & Edwards 1997 book "New Zealand Film 1912-1996" in which this film has a one page article, like all the films in the book (apart from the "international films ass. with NZ" in the appendix).
