Per WP:BEANS

Due to your closing comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Letitia Libman, I feel myself obligated to follow WP:BEANS to the letter and do this...

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Cheers! For the record I agree with your quick deletion Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:08, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Heeee! Most appreciated. Thanks, this was just the laugh I needed.  :) --joe decker^{talk to me} 03:11, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

And yay on my very first trouting! --joe decker^{talk to me} 03:13, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

LOL, now your reply has made my day. You're very much welcome... but remember that not all beans lead to the goose that lays golden eggs. Cheers! Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:20, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

NSW Administrative Committee

Hi Joe, If I could trouble you to undelete NSW Administrative Committee and move it to my user space. I assure you that it is notable. I am prepared to concede that the article may not establish notability. Regards, Ben Aveling 22:56, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

 Done --joe decker^{talk to me} 04:22, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

BLP prod

I don't think you should have placed a BLP prod on Domenica Saporitti. The article assert her to me a winner of Miss Ecuador 2008; if that is the case it should be trivial to find references, and I did so . Probably this was just a lip up, because as an admin, you surely agree that nominating for deletion because of no-references should not be a purely mechanical operation. It's reasonable to omit a cursory check if what is asserted would probably not have references, but not when what was asserted clearly would. DGG ( talk ) 21:01, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm not entirely certain that I agree with your point in general (I do think there is an argument to be made for entirely automatic BLPPRODing of unreferenced biographies of living people), I certainly take your point that a national beauty queen is arguably above and beyond that bar. I will specifically take a little time and rethink my approach (my mental checklist, etc.) there. My apologies, and thank you for adding a source to the article in question. If more people were willing to do just that, we wouldn't still, after well over a year and a half, still be working down a backlog of unreferenced BLPs. --joe decker^{talk to me} 21:14, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it's a difficult balance to know when the work is likely to be worth it. At the beginning of BLP prod, I tried to double check every one, but eventually gave up for performers and athletes, because I was getting overwhelmed, as only one other person was similarly checking. I still do try to check all the others. DGG ( talk ) 21:20, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I've seen your work around, and I've always been grateful for it--thank you! I do try and check BLPPRODs at expiration too for obvious "oh, this should be saved" cases, but as you say, there are so many. Hope you have a great weekend, and thanks for letting me know about my screwup. Cheers, --joe decker^{talk to me} 21:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
