WFT Cloud

Category:Speedy Deletion Contested — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sociosquare (talkcontribs)

Yes, I can see on the article's talk page that you've contested it. The reviewing admin will decide whether or not it can be deleted under G4. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk)

Thanks Altered Walter. Have made changes in this article and removed certain sections completely. Hope it works this time. (In case you have any suggestions, please do share). Thanks. --Sociosquare (talk) 11:30, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Altered Walter! I had contested the speedy deletion of the article titled 'WFT Cloud'. I do not know the status of my appeal. Is there a procedure to get updates on this? Sociosquare ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:10, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, there was a deletion discussion started by another editor at WP:Articles for deletion/WFT Cloud, but the article was speedy deleted on grounds of notability by an admin. If you think the deletion should be reviewed, then have a read of Wikipedia:Deletion review, and if you think there are grounds for a review after reading the "Purpose" section then you can ask for a review using the instructions there. I don't think the article would pass a second deletion discussion, but it's up to you if you want to try. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 11:16, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Spitfire (Porter Robinson album)

Hi. I've noticed your edits to the page Spitfire (Porter Robinson album). Could you please add a talk page if you wish for it to be deleted/redirected? I feel that it's a significant release and I will try to help establish its notability. I'm sure others will do the same. If not, I'd appreciate some form of justification before you redirect the page again. DJUnBalanced (talk) 19:53, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thanks for the heads-up on the entirely reasonable revert. No I wouldn't redirect it again, and happy to be corrected about its notability if we can find WP:RS supporting notability per WP:NALBUMS. I'd be glad if you joined the discussion at Talk:Porter_Robinson#Merge_Spitfire_(Porter_Robinson_album)_here. Altered Walter (talk) 09:13, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template specific to article - opinion needed

StarKid Productions/Cast and StarKid Productions/Crew are templates used specifically on the article StarKid Productions (the parent article) to generate tables that can be easily edited by other users. When I created the templates, I wasn't too sure whether they belonged in the Template namespace, so I set them as subpages instead. They have now been tagged for speedy deletion, one of which by yourself. Please could you offer your opinion on one of the above article's talk page on where these should live, and/or what categories they should be under. Eladkse (talk) 10:51, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, have a read of WP:Subpages - subpages in the main article space are now disabled on English Wikipedia. But the list you removed is unreferenced, and seems a bit unnecessarily detailed: are you sure you need to create a separate page for this? Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 10:54, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for referring me to the policy. I understand, so I'll move them to the template namespace and get the right categories on them. Can I remove the speedy delete to do that, or do I need to let the admin deal with that?
On the old table, there were references at the top of each column. On creating the new table, I moved the references to the bottom for practicality with the template, and replaced them with better references.
In terms of detail, it allows us to collate all the credits of each actor together, as they don't have their own articles. The whole point of changing the table in the first place was due to horizontal space issues (diff) but I still feel it is best to keep the information on this page in such a format. Eladkse (talk)
Understood about collation, but if it's not referenced, then per WP:BLP the info really should be removed. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 11:17, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What part of 'I moved the references to the bottom for practicality with the template, and replaced them with better references' didn't you understand? :) Eladkse (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:19, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I understand just fine. But you haven't moved it back yet. And I still think that entries for the crew, referenced or not, is excessive WP:DETAIL for this article: it looks like a fan page. Altered Walter (talk) 11:24, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The references are supposed to be at the bottom of the new table. They can't be integrated with table as that would interfere with the template, and cause a lot of reference duplication within such a small space. It is better, for practicality and readability, just to add reference for the entire table at the bottom.
The table templates have now been moved and properly categorised. Again, thanks for pointing to the policy, and for your assistance. That is all. Eladkse (talk) 12:01, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Umm, no, actually, that is not all. I'll see you at the article's talk page. Altered Walter (talk) 09:42, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

About deleting 001-001_Al-Fatiha Page

Please read it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:001-001_Al-Fatiha — Preceding unsigned comment added by عامر شاہین (talkcontribs) 15:05, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thanks for contributing. Please have a read of WP:Summary style#Levels of desired details. Wikipedia isn't meant to provide detailed commentary at that level. Have you looked at quranexplorer.com? Thanks again, Altered Walter (talk) 15:19, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unreviewing

Thanks for letting me know that you have 'unreviewed' North Devon Journal, a stub I just wrote. I don't really know what you mean though. Sorry about that - if there's anything you'd like me to do, then let me know. Dsp13 (talk) 21:37, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Eek. My mistake! I meant to mark it "reviewed". I'll go back and fix that now. Thanks for letting me know. Altered Walter (talk) 21:39, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article: Gaisano Capital Ozamiz

Hi! the history imformation of Gaisano Ozamiz is reliable and was interviewed or talk to somebody thus I used it as a secondary sources. Most of them witness the latter years of Gaisano Ozamiz, please repost some of those information. Thank you so much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Good man76 (talkcontribs) 14:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please have a read of WP:Reliable sources and WP:Original research: an editor's completely honest personal testimony is not considered reliable enough as a reference on Wikipedia: we need to find reliable sources to WP:Verify what we write. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 14:54, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Asking Verification

Hi! I have just created an article about a book/novel The Last Orange. I request you to please verify it, if I need more information to add or more reliable sources to add then please inform me on my talk page. Also please don't nominate it for speedy deletion unless I am not able to help wikipedia in the future. It was also happened in past that the articles created by me were deleted without informing me the reason so I could improve my writing. If you don't help me writing the new article then I will be not believing in wikipedia for any more time in the future. User:Priyanku.PhukanPriyanku.Phukan (Talk) 18:05, 08 January 2013 (UTC +5:30)

Hello! I won't nominate it for speedy deletion, but how is it notable per Wikipedia:Notability (books)? Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 12:38, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The book has been considered by reliable sources to have made a significant contribution to a religious movement. The book has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works appearing in sources of all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and reviews. User:Priyanku.PhukanPriyanku.Phukan (Talk) 18:22, 08 January 2013 (UTC +5:30)

Sounds good: can you please add some of those non-trivial published WP:Reliable sources to the article? Please ask back here if you need a hand with that. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 13:10, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

US speaker election

Hello, I have created a discussion about whether and how information on the election of speaker for the 113th Congress should be included on Wikipedia. As you've made edits to this subject, I wanted to bring your attention to the discussion. It can be found here. - Nbpolitico (talk) 12:56, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

CSD of Rohit Monu: a suggestion

Hey, Altered Water! I saw that you had tagged this page for speedy deletion under G3. Not a huge deal (it was clearly speedy deletion-worthy one way or another), but I've deleted it under G2 instead, which is reserved for test pages. It was the clearest example of a G2 test page that I've seen so far, really. Again, no biggie, but just keep it in mind that it might be better to err in favor of calling things test pages rather than vandalism; pages like that don't really meet the Wikipedia definition off vandalism, and it can be discouraging (even more than usual) for people's good-faith editing tests to be labeled vandalism. Regardless, though, thanks for patrolling! Writ Keeper 15:03, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy! I normally do tag kids' pages like that as G2, but have a look at his talk page: he's created it seven times, and has had many warnings about it, so vandalism seemed more appropriate. Thanks for the heads-up though. Altered Walter (talk) 15:04, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, fair enough; wasn't aware of the history. It still seems to me that he's experimenting with Wikipedia; he might not know about his talk page yet, so he might not have seen the warnings there. Such persistence in the face of deletions and salting isn't a good sign, though, so your conclusion is definitely justified. Fair enough; carry on! :) Writ Keeper 15:13, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Cheers! :-) Altered Walter (talk) 15:18, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rahul Easwar

Dear Altered Water; Sir, this is regarding page : Rahul Easwar. Pls view the Discussion & Talk Page. There are a lot of credible counter arguments against deletion of the page. A simple Googling "Rahul Easwar" can make us watch him in the top most channels in India like CNN-IBN, Times Network's Times Now, NDTV & Newspaper giants like Times of India, The Hindu (in Indian Context) etc.

Pls re evaluate your position on speedy deleted (Alex.mathews (talk) 13:05, 9 January 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Shall I remove the tag for speedy deletion Sir, with your permission. Have elaborated on talk page of Rahul Easwar & requested on your page too. Would wait for your nod, (Alex.mathews (talk) 13:30, 9 January 2013 (UTC))[reply]

The speedy deletion tag, as noted on the page, was because the article has been re-created following three separate deletion discussions. Wait for an administrator to review the article: if it's substantially different from the last three attempts, then the admin will delete the speedy tag. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 14:19, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(help)

Sir, would like to humbly point out & View the References given. There is a lot of new information since the last discussion and The Page right now is deleted, could you help as a Senior Wikipedian, pls (Alex.mathews (talk) 14:25, 9 January 2013 (UTC))[reply]

You've already taken it to deletion review. Good luck with that. I can't think of anything that can be done other than that. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 14:26, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

You added a {{mergeto}} tag to Five cardinal sins in buddhism, but you did not actually begin a merge discussion. If you propose the merge, it is up to you to initiate the discussion, stating why you have proposed the merge. Otherwise, how can consensus be reached on the matter?

Hollywood.com

Whats the policy on this website - Hollywood.com and why is it not deleted... Why was Lollywood Cafe deleted! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood.com --Sonisona 06:49, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello, and thanks for contributing. You might like to have a read of Wikipedia:Notability (web) for guidelines on notability of web sites. The Lollywood Cafe article didn't make any credible assertion of notability, and I couldn't find any significant coverage of the site from a quick search online. The Hollywood.com article, on the other hand, in its current state does make a credible assertion of notability for the site in the form of significant coverage from WP:Secondary, WP:Reliable sources. Two of its three references are news stories in the mainstream media about the site, rather than passing mentions on blogs etc. If you think the Hollywood.com article doesn't sufficiently demonstrate notability, you can try to improve the article by hunting for more info about it online, or if you can't find sufficient evidence of notability you can nominate it for deletion, but I don't think it would get deleted in an WP:Articles for deletion discussion: it's at least weakly notable by Wikipedia's standards.

Page Deletion

Hi,

I'm hoping you can help me. You have highlighted my page jetNEXUS Solutions for speedy deletion.

I am trying to set up jetNEXUS on Wikipedia in a similar way to some of the other companies in our field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KEMP_Technologies), (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F5_Networks), however it continues to be deleted. I have tried to put text in the article to ensure that it is relevant to the company and what they do, however I am having no luck.

There are a lot of other companies in our field which have pages on Wikipedia, and I am really hoping for some assistance on how I can get an article set up for our company without it being deleted.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks Nicki — Preceding unsigned comment added by Np91 (talkcontribs) 16:28, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Nicki, and thanks for contributing. The article has been deleted five times now (under various spellings), because it makes no credible assertion of notability per Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). I suggest you have a read of WP:Conflict of interest, and wait for someone not connected with your company to write about it: it will be extremely difficult for you to write objectively about it. If it's notable, someone will write about it eventually. We'd be very glad for your help with editing other articles here on Wikipedia though - please let me know if I can be of help with that. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 16:33, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

College of Saint-Hyacinthe

Please read the log, G11 applies to schools, notability was a secondary issue Jimfbleak - talk to me? 17:00, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well I had completely re-written it just before you deleted it, but I'll bet you didn't see that re-write - collaborative editing, eh. Anyway, it doesn't matter now, since it's a duplicate of Cégep de Saint-Hyacinthe, so I've redirected it. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 17:03, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Joni Yoswein

Hey,

Thank you for your edits on Joni Yoswein. I'm still trying to get a handle for this. What does an article need to get removed as a "stub" and searchable on Google and the like? Again, thank you so much for your help.

Best,

Redmond — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhaskins86 (talkcontribs) 19:32, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thanks for starting the article. Don't worry about the stub tag: that just means it's short at the moment. Let's keep adding content, and then we can just remove the stub tag whenever it's reasonably long. And it's already showing up in Google: it's currently the fourth link returned when I do a Google search for her name. Nice work! :-) Altered Walter (talk) 11:26, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding TEN Music Group

Hello, Thank you for the helpful information. Everything i write about TEN Music Group or related to TEN Music Group is FACT. Can you please help proofreading it?

I'm still very new at this and appreciate all the help i can get. Thank you very much!! Sam.malmaci (talk) 14:00, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sam, and thanks for contributing. At the moment the article doesn't have any references to WP:Verify the assertions made of notability per WP:CORP. But I strongly suggest that you not edit articles about your company, as it will be almost impossible for you to write objectively about something that you're so closely connected with. Wait for someone who's not connected with the company to write about it. Thanks, Altered Walter (talk) 14:30, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion sorting

Hi Walter, I noticed you delsorted this deletion discussion under People. Where a person is listed under Businesspeople, Actor etc. it is unnecessary to list under People as it just swamps that generic delsort. For example a Soldier would be listed under People & Military whereas a Track & Field athlete would be listed under Sportspeople. Therefore I have crossed out/struck the people delsort as it was unnecessary & removed it from here. Regards ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 05:58, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree about redundancy: I'd just seen other people add the "People" sort to AFDs that I'd started, so I sort of assumed it was standard practice on bio AFDs. Baaaaa! :-) Thanks for the tip. Altered Walter (talk) 09:00, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, most users aren't aware of the rule as the only place it really specifics it is at People itself, it's somewhat like the way we threat categories with SUBCAT. Happy editing ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 09:25, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Need advice on image of Xenia (singer)

Hi Walter.

I could use some advice! I noticed you reverted Ryanklimt's addition of an image of Xenia and said it was copyright violation. He had either re-uploaded the image or it never got deleted but is this the copy vio that was pointed out? - File:Xenia (Singer).jpg It has no metadata so I highly suspect it was not his own work. -⊾maine12329⊿ talk 05:25, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it was originally uploaded as "File:Xenia(singer).jpg" (note missing space and lowercase. And this time he's cropped the copyright from the bottom of the image. Thanks for the heads-up, I'll tag the new one for deletion now. Altered Walter (talk) 08:04, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rahul Easwar speedy deletion

You nominated Rahul Easwar for speedy deletion, as a repost of an article deleted following Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rahul Easwar (2nd nomination). I speedily deleted it, but it was taken to a deletion review. Having considered it carefully, I decided that there was enough difference between the two versions of the article that it was questionable whether they could be considered sufficiently "substantially identical" for a speedy deletion as a repost, so I have restored the article. That does no, however, mean that I think the article in its present state adequately addresses the issues raised in the deletion discussion, and you are welcome to nominate it at articles for deletion again, if you wish to.

On the article The One Peoples Public Trust you left three notices, but on the talk page for the article you did not mention to which specific items you felt the warnings were pertinent. If you were unable to edit the article to the satisfaction of the notices, it would be helpful to read your comments in those regard on the Talk Page of the article. Thank you.

Thank you for that. I also replied. Regarding the original research, however, would you mind pointing out precisely for me, for example, one sentence that you read as such? That way I document that sentence first. If there are more than one, then please let me know. The way it reads to me is all simple common knowledge.

A tag has been placed on Gwanda ramblers fc, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

It is a redirect to a deleted, non-notable topic, per the deletion log at [1]

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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.
