Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Niles Harris

Regarding your comment here, I guess a redirect to the song wouldn't be out of order, since the song does have a page. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 16:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I figured in that sense, a redirect would make sense, I was just wondering if its something someone might reasonably search for. If its not, then not really much point for a redirect. Thanks for getting back to me. Umbralcorax (talk) 18:40, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Office of the president elect

Hi, I just closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Office of the president elect as the nominator has withdrawn from the AfD. While this does not always warrant a closure of the AfD, the article in question (United States Office of the President-Elect) has substantially changed in such a way that a closure is warranted in my opinion. If you wish, you can renominate the page for AfD, but the concerns would surely have to be different. Thanks. DARTH PANDAduel 03:55, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Thing Is

I didn't intend it to be a end-all be-all thing. I intended for it to be a base to be built on by wikipedia users in the future. I just wanted to avoid the debocle of what happened last time. I feel this rivalry is quite notable and I don't get why it shouldn't be represented.

I'm a Mets fan, btw.

Hi. You may be interested in a centralised discussion on the subject of "lists of unusual things" to be found here. SP-KP (talk) 17:36, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just an FYI

I noted you removed a PROD from User:Cjneversleeps/Corrections.com. It appears to been placed because of advice given by an Admin at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Cjneversleeps/Corrections.com. In part: "Leave it a month and then {{prod}} it."

One-night stand

Hi Umbralcorax. The close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/One-night stand was not in line with Wikipedia:Speedy keep. We don't use WP:SNOW to close an AfD. See Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#How_an_AfD_discussion_is_closed for more info. Even if it appears that an article is going to be kept, we still let the AfD run for the full seven days to allow people an opportunity to join in the discussion. This does no harm, and can do some good. An AfD which is closed too early can be challenged and brought to DRV. All AfDs should be allowed to run for the full seven days, apart from those which meet the criteria in Wikipedia:Speedy keep or Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion.If you have any questions, please get in touch. Regards SilkTork *YES! 12:45, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but since when is that not a valid application of WP:SNOW? This is news to me. When an article has that many convincing keep votes, even if it is over a short period of time, there is absolutely no reason to keep it open just because thats what the process says. I stand by my original close. All the re-opening achieved was to re-affirm that I'd made the right decision in the first place. And if WP:SNOW was the wrong thing to use, consider it a close per WP:IAR. Umbralcorax (talk) 02:30, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Removing Prods

I noticed that you removed some prods I placed on Star Wars books but did not give an edit summary or edit the talk page giving a reason for the removal. Would you mind letting me know your reasoning for removing the prods so that I can decide if I should send the articles to AfD? -- RP459 Talk/Contributions 22:43, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. My logic in removing the prods is much the same as my keep vote in your previous AFD, that I do not feel that deleting these articles is the right course of action. If you still feel its necessary to go to afd, go right ahead. Umbralcorax (talk) 04:09, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Tripping Icarus

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

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

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Nubzor (talk) 04:26, 9 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
