A tag has been placed on Dave Schreiber 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 person or group of people, 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 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. JayJayWhat did I do? 23:39, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, enthusiasm editing for Wikipedia is welcome, but I've twice reverted your edits to Neolithic architecture because they are not well written, nor do they improve the article's introduction.

Ways to improve No Time to Think: The Menace of Media Speed and the 24-Hour News Cycle[edit]

Hi, I'm Jackson Peebles. NHCLS, thanks for creating ''No Time to Think: The Menace of Media Speed and the 24-Hour News Cycle''!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Thanks so much for the article on No time to Think; I think that it's a great contribution. However, since you know about the book (and I, unfortunately, do not), I'd really appreciate if you could go back in and fix some things I tagged! Thanks!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. —Preceding undated comment added 01:35, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article The Midnight's Dances has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable musical release. No evidence of full-length professional reviews, charting or awards.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free media (File:CPJ 50 years logo.png)[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:CPJ 50 years logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 14:31, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rolf Dinsdale[edit]

It appears to be on its way to becoming a moot point now, but for future reference please note that per WP:POLITICIAN, an unelected candidate is not eligible to get or keep a Wikipedia article so long as the primary claim of notability is the candidacy itself. The rule is that simply being a candidate does not, in and of itself, make a person notable enough to have a Wikipedia article — if they weren't already notable enough to have a Wikipedia article before they became a candidate, then they have to win the election to become notable enough. Bearcat (talk) 04:24, 26 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, believe me, a lot of people use "he's polling well and looks like he's going to win the election" as a rationale for creating an article about a candidate who hasn't won yet — but what happened on Monday night is exactly why that rationale doesn't really work. He's not even an isolated case; just think of the last provincial elections in both British Columbia and Alberta, where in both cases the party that won on election night wasn't the party that was leading the public opinion polls even as late as one or two days before the election. That's why we can't base our articles on predictions about who's likely to win, or on who happens to be leading the polls at some point during the campaign: stuff can change, and the results can confound expectations sometimes.
If you haven't already, you might also want to read Éric Grenier's blog post about the by-election results — what's interesting about it is that even with the Forum Research polls in the mix, his screening model still gave the Tories a 52 per cent chance of retaining the riding to a 48 per cent chance of a Liberal pickup.

Hello, NHCLS. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Guy P. Harrison, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

  1. edit the page
  2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Ad Orientem (talk) 05:58, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You tagged Outline-Healthcare in Prishtina for deletion as an empty article WP:CSD#A3. It consisted of a large number of headings and subheadings, but no body text. I am not sure if this actually satisfies A3, I don't recall it coming up before. As it looked to me like a draft in progress I have moved it to userspace and notified the page creator.

What I want to mention to you, however, is that you did not, as far as I can see, notify the article creator of your nomination. If you use Twinkle or any of several other tools, such notifications can be done automatically. If you don't, a template call for notification is listed in the CSD template itself, nd can be easily copied and pasted onto the creator's talk page. It can avoid confusion when a creator, particularly one new to Wikipedia, learns that an article that s/he created was intentionally nominated for deletion rather than simply disappearing or failing to be saved. It can also educate new editors in the reasons for articles being deleted. So please, in future, notify creators when tagging pages for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Hi, NHCLS. Thank you for reviewing the page I created about Sergio Andricaín! I will definitely work to make improvements. I was actually a little surprised to see that the page had been moved to the article namespace, however, since this was a page that I had been keeping as a userspace draft.

Last December, Moe Epsilon edited the page to indicate that Persondata templates should not exist on userspace pages (as a new Wikipedian, I wasn't aware of this restriction; I'll be sure to comment out Persondata from future userspace drafts). Yesterday, Gaard van der Pol moved the page from my userspace to the article namespace, citing the same rationale. I really don't mind that the page was moved--it gives me more motivation to work on it--but I did find it surprising, since Moe Epsilon had already commented out the Persondata template using <nowiki> tags.

Great! NHCLS (talk) 18:16, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's no problem, Timathom. Just like categories, templates and other things that would classify your userspace as a main namespace page, they should just be left off or commented out. I went to several hundred pages and fixed this error since persondata is the most forgot one of those, so you're not alone. :) Regards, — Moe Epsilon 05:08, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

RedPoint Global Ad Flag[edit]

Hi NHCLS. Thanks for the edits to the RedPoint Global page. You flagged it as an ad, but I wrote it as neutrally as I could, and cited any facts that I included. If there's anything in particular that stood out to you that you haven't already edited, I'd love your suggestions. I struggled with a couple of the industry terms and tried to find the right "technology bucket" for them using terms that have described other companies like them, so perhaps that terminology stood out. Or perhaps I dived too much into the history, but I tried to keep that brief and factual -- it seemed relevant for any stub article. Thanks! Vanhoosear (talk) 17:12, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I have reviewed the page again, and I decided to remove the "sounds like an advert" tag." The section of the company's key partners was the main reason that I added the tag. But, seeing as I removed that section, I think the tag isn't really applicable anymore. Overall, the page is generally pretty good. It could still use some more information and sources though... Thanks! NHCLS (talk) 21:33, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the feedback and response. I'll see what else I can dig up on this. Best, Vanhoosear (talk) 21:24, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Valextra article "Sounds like an ad"[edit]

I can't quite figure out why you decided to slap a "sounds like an ad" banner on Valextra. There is no hyperbole in what I wrote. The only content that could even vaguely be accused of "promoting" Valextra were quotes from articles in the NY Times and the Evening Standard; hardly organs of puffery. One of the two Times articles I cited stated that "Valextra's designs have been modernist and largely unornamented, and have a reputation for being aesthetically minimalist and discreet." What about that sounds like an ad? It's simply descriptive and in no way suggests that designs that are modernist, minimalist or unornamented are superior to those that are say, baroque or traditional, or ostentatious. Indeed, far from language typical of an advertisement, I wrote that Valextra's goods had undergone "...a gradual decline in prestige and quality..." Finally, the Wikis on the three competitors I mentioned (Goyard, Hermès and Louis Vuitton) contain at least as favorable content, such as this quote from Hermès: "Much of what bears the still-discreet Hermès label changed from the object of an old person's nostalgia to the subject of young peoples' dreams" (a quote attributed simply to "one observer"). If you have any specific objections to the content, feel free to post them on the "Talk" page. To slap a "sounds like an ad" banner is simply lazy and suggests bad faith.

Hello­! So, I apologise if my edit came off as assuming bad faith. I try my best to assume good faith on the part of editors, however, if I see content which I have doubts about, I will tag the page. Also, I generally do not target a single editor, rather the page as it stands when I review it. Of course, I do make mistakes, and I appreciate it when people inform me of the mistakes I might have made. In the case of the Valextra article, I tagged it as sounding like an advertisement because I felt that, overall, the page came off as being slightly promotional of the company. For instance, the use of the words "From the beginning..." does not sound very encyclopedic, in my opinion. Also, the use of favourable quotes in the section about the company's products, in my opinion, comes off as a little promotional. As well, in the same section, the following paragraphs sound, in my opinion, as being slightly more promotional than encylcopedic:
"Unlike similar luxury luggage companies such as Louis Vuitton, Hermès and Goyard, Valextra does not make "signature" or logo-pattern products, nor do they make canvas products. Valextra's logo is seldom visible on the outside of their goods."
"All Valextra products are handmade at the company's factory in Italy, which employs approximately 60 craftspersons. Some of the items first made by the company in 1937 are still in production. The company will also fabricate custom luggage and handbags to the customer's specification."
Finally, the listing of celebrities who used the company's products is , in my opinion, a little dubious. I definitely support the inclusion of content such as that, but, some people, I think, would find that content to be typical of publicity rather than of an encyclopedia. Generally, the Valextra page is not a low-quality page. However, some of the content on the page sounded, in my opinion, more like an advertisement than an encylopedic article. Once again, I apologise if the tag came off as assuming bad faith. The tag was added more for the purpose of inform readers and other editors that the the page might sound like an advertisment, and could use some improvement. It might be a good idea to contact some other editors to discuss this subject. Thanks! NHCLS (talk) 18:35, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
