Hi. At 23:36, 5 May 2014 you deleted the Joe Montana (disambiguation) page. Obviously unnecessary disambiguation page. I am sorry, but for me is not obvious, that Joe Montana is different from Joe Montana (actor). Is there only one Joe Montana? — Diszi (talk) 13:59, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer. I understand the logic of this. I can accept it. However, from enwiki I am not able to get the info that Joe Montana (actor) is different from Joe Montana. Now I know from dewiki they are different. I still think it would be useful if this information would be available from enwiki, too. — Diszi (talk) 16:34, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Not to be pedantic but {{confused}} was specifically set up for such cases.--Launchballer 16:34, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Rick Otton

The Wikipedia user profile for Rick Otton has been deleted. Please provide information on why it was deleted and if there's anything that can be done or changed so the page is put back up. -- Jessicamillerwbh (talk) 00:44, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

  • What don't you understand about "G11: unambiguous advertising or promotion"? I could also have deleted it for U5: using Wikipedia as a free host. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks the guy is notable and writes about him here in a proper place. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:44, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Luxaviation

Greetings, Luxaviation was recently deleted. however I do not fully understand how this article was vastly different from the majority of other aircraft operators with wikipedia pages. Luxaviation's page was not fully complete at the time, however there were a substantial number of links and references. Luxaviation is now the largest private jet operator in Europe.

Nevertheless, due to the wikipage of luxaviation being delete I am unable to update the actual logo popping up on Google searches. It would be greatly appreciated if you could assist me. Best regards, Nick Reinertz Nreinertz (talk) 12:31, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

  • "Substantial number"? There were two links both to the company's website and zero independent references. "Unable to update the actual logo popping up on Google searches" - this is gobbledgook. If you are trying to say that Google still provides a link to the Wikipedia article, then I can tell you that this will disappear within a few weeks. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks the company is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:43, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Deleted article Clipperz

Greetings, I would like to reinstate the article you apparently deleted: Clipperz . I understand that you felt the article was not proving the site's notableness, I would like to put back up an edited version with links to sources which prove that this is a known company/service; e.g. alexa rank, media articles about them, etc.

I do this because I am a user of their services for several years now and strongly agree with their company philosophy and feel they deserve wider exposure, I am not affiliated with them in any way. Can you please send me the original text? Thanks in advance. Lebanese blond (talk) 13:11, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

There are two movie actress with the same name Shilpi Sharma and Shillpi Sharma. Although, there is a slight difference in the spelling, when we pronounce this name in any Indian language, they sound exactly the same. Both are models turned actresses. There is confusion amongst which actress is who and which movie they acted and such. Please allow this disambiguation page to make it clear distinction between the two artist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajannamysore (talkcontribs) 13:40, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Dashlane

Hi RHaworth, it looks like you were the last admin to delete Dashlane in February. The title has been SALT'd. There is a draft article awaiting at AfC which, in my opinion, is abundantly sourced with major reviews of the app. I'd like to move it to mainspace, but would be grateful if you could de-SALT the title. Thanks. Sionk (talk) 19:37, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Suelong Sae Ma

Hello Sir, I was just curious about this post: Suelong sae ma. From what i know he is an upcoming football player here in thailand who suffered some major injuries the past years and wanted to know more about him.

Not quite sure if i request the page to be activated again (i mean you had your reasons why you deleted it), but i'm doing a project about Thaifootball wich involves player that are half Thai. Could you kindly give me more information? Regards, David — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.99.136.138 (talk) 20:48, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Please also salt Suelong sae ma.--Launchballer 21:07, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, i just found the source that i need it was all in thai but the a friend of mine translated it for me, if you would like to read it as well i think it was on siamsport. If that helps.

deletion of WUWM from Wikipedia

To whom it may concern, the nonprofit association World Union of Wholesale Markets (WUWM) entry has at some stage been deleted from Wikipedia. Following the deletion link brings me to you here.

I would like to understand why this entry was deleted. It was created in reference and follow-up to a United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) article which explained what food wholesaling and food markets are (and WUWM collaborated with FAO colleagues at the time with regard to that article). WUWM is the only world entity to bring together nations and cities in support of, and promotion of, food markets. WUWM membership is mostly municipal management of wholesale and retail food markets. WUWM aims to help local and national authorities in their goal to provide a better service to the many millions of traders and consumers buying food from their local market. Local authorities, millions of small market traders, and the representative body for those markets - WUWM clearly do not have the logistical possibility or resources of 'supermarkets' to pay for mega advertising of a 'brand' name. Is that why our entry - and not those entries - are deleted from Wikipedia?

Traditional food markets are the oldest community service to be offered citizens, and are vital to the health not only of local economies and communities but also local food production the world over. There is much ignorance about the true and original meaning of the word 'market' in our world today. Please could you explain why you have taken the position of deleting us from Wikipedia? Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.160.86.71 (talk) 08:14, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

codeBeamer

Hi RHaworth, I just ended up on the page list of revision control software and realized that our page codeBeamer was deleted. I think your action is unfair since you didn't delete any other company from that list. Can you please explain why you decided to delete only and exclusively us but no other company with similiar entry? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EvaIntland (talkcontribs) 11:33, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Fort Saskatchewan/Fort Mall

Hi. You deleted Talk:Fort Saskatchewan/Fort Mall as CSD G8. It had been restored and tagged with a {{Copied}} – see its counterpart at the top of Talk:Fort Saskatchewan – to attribute this merger. Following Fort Mall's deletion at WP:Articles for deletion/Fort Mall, User:Milowent asked the closing admin User:Arbitrarily0 to restore and move it at User talk:Arbitrarily0/Archive/2010/May-June#Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fort Mall.

Hi User:RHaworth. The bibliography article was placed in the public domain by the United States Department of Agriculture, and I linked to the license on the talk page. I was pretty sure that was sufficient to prevent speedy deletion. Am I missing something? Thanks, Lesser Cartographies (talk) 08:11, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

And while we're here, I'll point out that WP:Listcruft is specifically prohibited from being used as a rationale for speedy deletion. See WP:NOTCSD #14. I'll start up the deletion review. — Lesser Cartographies (talk) 08:36, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

The article Dead language, spoken in Ermita, Manila has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

it is an unused and unreasonably long redirect

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.

Extended content
Hi RHaworth,

re: wikify: First I - tongue-in-cheek - apologise for only providing a dead link to the ALGOL 68G page concerned... sadly the page was speedy deleted... :-)

Notwithstanding: I am here because I note the page ALGOL 68G is gone... archive.org, and without a AfD

I reviewed the two criteria required to be meet for a WP:G11 speedy delete:

There seems to raise a question about what "Unambiguous" means...

Let me address the two points in G11, one-by-one.

  1. - "Pages that are exclusively promotional, AND would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic."
    • IMHO: The article is/was encyclopedic... simply describing features/extensions and deviations. Undoubtedly merely having an ALGOL 68G article on wikipedia could have the consequence of bringing some attention to the topic (indeed any topic). But that does not make the content un-encyclopedic, when the content is/was indeed encyclopedic, all-be-it boring and technical (to most).
  2. - "If a subject is notable and the content can be replaced with text that complies with neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion"
    • IMHO: I can see no page text/content that is/was fails Wikipedia:NPOV... and, even if there was offending content a speedy-deletion has curtailed any chance to fix such NPOV fails.
  3. "Note: An article about a company or a product which describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion."
    • Hmm... IMHO the article is also saved be this third G11 keep criteria... which only would mean the article should now be restored.

The "speedy deletion" did cite "08:51, 27 November 2005 Lucky 6.9 (talk · contribs) deleted page ALGOL 68G" from Deletion log: ALGOL 68G. It seems to me the detail the page was previously deleted some 10 years ago is a distraction and even potentially misleading.

So... I am suggesting that the page was actually removed in error. Probably the deletion could have passed through the regular AfD process, I am sure that AfD has a Smörgåsbord of other means of rationalising removing articles, especially as ALGOL 68G does not commonly appear in Popular Culture.

For the record and background: ALGOL 68G is the most recent implementation and - IMHO - most comprehensive implementation of ALGOL 68. This has given ALGOL 68G a degree of notoriety in various blog circles... e.g. Rosetta_Code, but do bear in mind that I am also a member of some of these blog communities, hence I am not exactly neutral.

Aside: I do sometimes ponder if entire chunks of wikipedia knowledge have "fallen off the edge" simply because the actual topic contributors do not log into to Wikipedia within the 1-2 week AfD cycle or the speed-delete cycle. My estimate is such experts topic contributors would only lookup/logon to wikipedia with a frequency of less than once a year. So it is rare that an topic contributor would actually get a timely alerted of an AfD or a "speedy-delete".

Ultimately I recommend the ALGOL 68G article should be restored, and kept, and then only deleted if there is an outstanding reason delete it via a reasoned AfD.

So:

Please consider a restore of ALGOL 68G. — NevilleDNZ (talk) 03:11, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
