== Archiving old AfDs ==

Hi. I note that you removed these completed AfDs [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Old&diff=prev&oldid=193767667 on the 24th] and just wanted to remind you that when they are removed from old, they need to be listed at [[Wikipedia:Archived delete debates]]. The two days in question have now been put in place, so no problems, but this is just a reminder for future use. :) Thanks. --[[User:Moonriddengirl|Moonriddengirl]] <sup>[[User talk:Moonriddengirl|(talk)]]</sup> 19:35, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to my talk page

You are also invited to email me at: jerry@lavoie.com. Occasionally I repost emails that I receive to this talk page, however I remove sensitive material and personally-identifying information, such as email address, first.

I frequently collapse sections once I think the conversation is done. The section will appear as a purple bar with a summary and a link that says "show". If you are leaving me a follow-on comment for such a collapsed section, please add the new comments below the collapsed section, NOT in it. If you add comments inside a collapsed section, I may never see them.

Jerry's 10 talk page rules

  1. Please no foul language, threats or namecalling.
  2. If there is any possibility (at all) that I meant well, assume that is the case, until proven or admitted otherwise. I will do the same.
  3. Please append your wikisignature to all comments.
  4. Please do not add any contentious material about me or any other living person.
  5. Stop means stop. If we are in a heated argument, and I ask you to stop sending me messages on this page, then simply stop. If you think my conduct requires a review:
  6. Do not leave messages containing any personally-identifying information about children, including yourself.
  7. If you are here because a template showed up on your article or talk page, and you want to know why; 99% of the time, the information you seek is located right on the template itself. Please have the courtesy to read it first, then come here to complain or ask additional questions.
  8. If I deleted an article/ image, etc, and you want to know why, please look at the log for the page... I usually leave a detailed explanation including a code like "CSD#G12, COPYVIO, Content was..." If you go to the deletion policy, you will likely find your answer faster than sending me a message.
  9. If you do decide to ask me why your article, image, etc. got deleted, please tell me which one you are talking about. I delete many things a day, most days, and it can be very difficult for me to figure out which one you're talking about. This is particularly impossible if you are not logged-in, and your current IP Address is different than what it was when you created the article, uploaded the image, etc.
  10. If you are here to complain about another editor, for whatever reason, please consider using one of the forums to alert all administrators of the problem. This will get you faster service, from among dozens of patrolling admins.

Notice regarding deletion reviews

This user is an active closing administrator at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you are considering initiating a formal review of a recent closing, it is requested that you attempt to have a discussion with me first, as suggested by the instructions at the top of WP:DRV. Please give me at least one day to respond, and keep in mind that we may be in different time zones. If you have a valid reason that my determination of consensus may be flawed, I do appreciate the opportunity to consider it and revert my own closing or explain to you my difference of opinion without the wikidrama that is often created at DRV. If you are here to drop me a template notice of a DRV that you have already initiated, but we have not discussed it yet, please consider closing that delrev and talking with me first. Just add the comment "please close this discussion until I have a chance to discuss this with the closing administrator per WP:DRV" to the discussion, and an administrator will surely close it shortly (as long as other editors have not significantly participated yet). Thank-you for your consideration.

New discussions

Recap

Jerry, thank you for the comments on the TfD for the Recap template. You absolutely hit the nail on the head with more lucidity and eloquence and rationale than anyone else in the discussion. What you said was exactly true and everyone should take note of that. I had hesitated to bring up the list of names issue as I felt that if it were re-inserted, people would move back toward a delete mentality. I have a copy of it locally saved that I fully intend to put up in my userspace that has the names and a few other tweaks I've made since this whole WikiDrama began. Among them is limiting the number of rationales (I think that no more than 5 should be listable, because if there seriously are more than 5 core issues, we have bigger problems and the template would only muddy the waters) and adding more instructions.
Anyway, I appreciate your words of support for the template and clear and convincing argument in favor of keeping it.
Finally, if you happen to have any other thoughts on the matter, please let me know so that I may continue to improve the template. THANK YOU!!! • VigilancePrime 06:23 (UTC) 23 Feb '08

There is an incredible coincidence involved with my even finding that TfD. You may note that TfD is a venue I do not often participate in. Out of sheer curiosity, I wondered if the template was used anywhere, so I went to the Special:What links here page, and saw the TfD listed.... so I folowed the link. I was amazed that it was almost through its entire 5 day listing and I had not seen it yet. A testament to your integrity, as I am sure you wanted to canvas me. I hope it gets kept, because I do think it can be a useful tool. Good job and good luck! JERRY talk contribs 00:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

interpretation

As someone less involved than I, could you comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Masada (Honorverse)DGG (talk) 23:37, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to put my best foot forward with an impartial comment. My policy is to not explicitly !vote, if I am asked to look at a deletion discussion, so I have not !voted. I hope this meets your expectations and approval. JERRY talk contribs 00:12, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

King Harold review

That you would side with someone who engages in personal attacks against me, does not argue with policy that is relevant to the discussion, and then call me paranoid? Perhaps you haven't noticed, but my userpage has been locked to prevent vandalism because people like this anon have been defacing it and following my AFD's in order to be uncivil as this person has been. Also, you have ignored my concerns of notability, of which none has been established. In addition, all but one other person thought this anon was correct and merited its own article. I urge you strongly to reverse this decision. Thank you. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 04:58, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Declined
User:DRosenbach has 3054 edits to 1286 unique pages; 1973 edits to mainspace, dating back to 21 July 2005. This user said keep.
User:216.37.86.10 has 118 edits, dating back to 2 March 2006, and is by no means a single-purpose account. I have no evidence before me that this user is a sockpuppet of a banned user, so this user has rights to voice an opinion with equal weighting in AfD's. This user said keep.
User:saberwyn and User:Ig8887 said merge.
User:Pistachio said delete or merge.
User:Astrotrain and User:Bearian said to Keep. (The former with no rationale.)

And your incivility is a concern for me:
  • Your hilarious
  • you are wasting our time
  • go find something productive to do
  • are you User:Blueanode? Cause I thought he had been blocked....perhaps I should go check on this, after all, it would be just like his usual cowardly ways of attacking people behind anonymous IP's with insults and no rational argument

Deletion Review for Kick in the Ass

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Kick in the Ass. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. I have requested this for review for two reasons. 1) It is academic theory by famous business philosopher Frederick Herzberg. 2) There was not a clear consensus. 3) The delete votes were ALL due to their belief that it was made up which it is clearly not, also it AFD's are meant to be a dicussion not a vote. Englishrose (talk) 23:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I am sorry that I did not speak to you first. I don't have many of my articles deleted...in fact it's years since I had a deletion review so I am unfamiliar with the process and thought it was a nessecity to file a deletion review. It's almost 12pm here and I was tired. Englishrose (talk) 23:39, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kick in the Ass (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

In a nutshell, the delete vote was 3-2 and not enough to form a consensus and the keep votes were far more well explained, per wikipedia rules it’s a discussion not a vote. The motivational theory was coined by a famous business philosopher Herzberg on how not to deal with employees and is in academic textbooks. The delete votes were all based on it being “made up” which per the references and the discussion it clearly was not. Any search of google books proves this. I find it hard to believe that this would be deleted on it’s content and believe it has been deleted on it having a funny name. Englishrose (talk) 23:10, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank-you for allowing me an opportunity to look over this discussion prior to a long drawn out drv has already started. I appreciate that you closed the drv and decided to discuss it here first. You may note that I reverted your deletion and closed the original drv as per requestor. It is best not to delete things from consensus-forming pages, as we try to be as transparent as possible in these venues.
The raw !vote count in the AfD was actually 4-2 (people often forget to count the nominator). But it really isn't about the count, anyway. The issues here are simple... we do have a clear guideline for neologism notability. This guideline was cited in the argument. The sources provided use the term, but do not describe it or critically discuss the term itself. The article reads like original research. This is probably because in order to write about this term one must do their own research, because there are no reliable secondary sources that discuss the term. I do not think a deletion review of this AfD stands much of a chance of receiving support to overturn my close, but you are welcome to open one if you choose to do so.

G4 on User:LakeOswego was not a mistake

If you look at the edit history of that page, it's a repeat recreation of a page canvassing for votes to keep a deleted article. It has been deleted for the same reason twice already, by User:Accounting4Taste and User:The Rambling Man. This is a case of sockpuppetry and/or meatpuppetry, involving a fringe author with a bad case of "The Truth", and his eager followers determined to protect said Truth. --Orange Mike | Talk 05:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand, but I'll leave it alone. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 05:31, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like another admin also thought the same way I did and reverted you again. I suggest you have a read over their and my edit summary comments... I think you were a little out-to-lunch on this one, Mike. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you are just tired or stressed-out or something.

Closed afd, AM (band)

hello Jerry. discussion here: four for delete, two for keep, you closed as delete. Calling that a consensus seems a stretch, and what's more I thought my arguments for keep were clear, reasonable, and unrefuted at close. How is it you disagree? :) 86.44.6.14 (talk) 08:41, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many newspapers host a blog site. The blog site is where unverified information can be posted, and normally does not even have any moderator control to prevent cruft, hoax, exaggerated, or blatently false information from being printed there. Blogs are not allowed as sources on wikipedia for this reason. Even if the blogger's identity is known, and we have reason to think they have an important truth to tell. The participants in the discussion who recommended deletion were all in agreement that the article lacked verifiable reliable sources to establish the notability of the subject. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 12:22, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Did you not read it?

Did you not read the article "S&M Production Company"'s talk page? I was stating my case about why the article shouldn't be deleted. Or was that just not good enough....Never mind, forget about it. I mean its already deleted anyway. Saxisai (talk) 11:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think I am reading you telling me to nevermind and forget about your post. I will comply. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 12:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kick in the ass

Your close of this article is being discussed at [Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 February 25]. Thought you might want to comment.DGG (talk) 17:42, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The user did discuss the closing with me, and I told them they could list it at DRV if they wanted to. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 17:46, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving old AfDs

Hi. I note that you removed these completed AfDs on the 24th and just wanted to remind you that when they are removed from old, they need to be listed at Wikipedia:Archived delete debates. The two days in question have now been put in place, so no problems, but this is just a reminder for future use. :) Thanks. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:35, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
