Article for Matt Ox

So Guess What? Don't delete my article page!— Preceding unsigned comment added by DamienDaEsketit (talk • contribs) 18:33, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Hey DamienDaEsketit. The article was nominated for deletion because it did not indicate why the subject might be significant enough to warrant its own article. Wikipedia only retains articles on subject which have received sustained in-depth coverage in published sources, usually things like magazines, newspapers, and book. If the subject has not yet received this type of coverage, then it is too soon for them to qualify for their own article. GMG^talk 18:51, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Alfee Quraan

Alfee Quran Page is for the knowledge of upcoming generation so tha they come to know that a quraan can also be written with all line starting with alif and also if any one wants to have the knowledge of translation of quraan of A'la Hazrat they can check the page — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alfeequraan (talk • contribs) 19:10, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello Alfeequraan. The upcoming generation will have to learn of your product from a different source, because Wikipedia is is not a vehicle for advertising. GMG^talk 19:13, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Speedy report

Hello, you reported https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81bel_Czupor for a speedy deletion - but meanwhile it has been filled in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Czukor (talk • contribs) 20:49, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Hey Czukor. The standard for whether a topic warrants an article on Wikipedia is whether it meets our standards for notability, which usually requires that the subject has received sustained in-depth coverage in reliable published sources, usually things like magazines, newspapers and books, and excluding things like social media and blogs. If a subject has met this standard, then the article for them should be improved using those high quality sources. If a subject has not yet received this type of coverage, then it is too soon for them to have their own article. GMG^talk 21:06, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you!

Principality of Beremagne - Article deletion

Hello sir,
I contact you via this page to request your help, to make a new page for the Micronation of Bérémagne. As i said before, Other micronations are on Wikipedia, and you can't say that they are more important as us. So, please help us, by giving advices, to make the page good for you.

Nice day,
--Emanuelzozor (talk) 17:16, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Hey Emanuelzozor. They may be more important for the purposes of Wikipedia if they have received sustained in-depth coverage in reliable published sources, things like magazines, newspapers and books, and excluding things like blogs, official websites and other wikis. This is the standard that Wikipedia uses to gauge importance. Bérémagne does not appear to have received this type of coverage, and so it is therefore too soon for it to qualify for its own article.

List of cities by temperature

This article is too long, so we divided it into continents

Category:Lists of cities by temperature — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kristijh (talk • contribs) 19:12, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Hey Kristijh I added the related articles to the AfD. The problem, at least in my opinion, is that they're all indiscriminate collections of unexplained statistics. The content is relevant at that depth in the individual articles about each city. And it makes sense to make these kinds of lists when they're directly comparing a central feature of the subject (like List of cities by population density or List of cities by GDP), but these are a pretty excessive level of depth for a characteristic (monthly average high and low temperatures) that isn't necessarily a central feature of the study of cities.

Deletion of Scott Wing page

You said that I wrote a page about myself, although I simply take the name of Wing to write about him– consider me a ghost-writer.

Also, stop deleting my stuff.

No worries Soibangla. I would assume you had an edit conflict, which causes it to happen sometimes. Also I don't understand how computers work, and editing Wikipedia is pretty much the most technically advanced thing I know how to do, so it could have just been magic for all I know. GMG^talk 21:23, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Request for comment: Talk:Scott_H._Stalker

Hi there. I have mentioned possible copyvio and non-notability on the talk page of "Scott H. Stalker". Requesting your response as you are extensively editing said article. Thanks.DesertPipeline (talk) 13:24, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Ocient

"Oh guten dag mein dammen und herren, ja, zat nice SoWhy rescued my article from being a load of tabloid drivel - I must send him a token of gratitude....."

Hello GreenMeansGo. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Ocient, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: being co-founded by the founder of Cleversafe indicates some significance . Thank you. SoWhy 16:40, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I guess you can't win 'em all. Primefac (talk) 16:44, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I mean, I'm on board with a notable founder ... but Chris Gladwin appears to be about a cricketer. Not... totally sure I agree that two degrees of separation from a notable topic is significant, since that would include a massive amount of subjects, and doesn't make for a plausible redirect. Coverage for this Gladwin is pretty slanted toward local Chicago coverage (although there are some things like this out there). Meh. GMG^talk 16:48, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Hmmm.. I guess it does have a crunchbase citation thrown in there. GMG^talk 16:50, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, Crunchbase is usually enough to clear A7, though possibly not anything else. Oh, and if Kim Kardashian's article read "Kim Kardashian is a [derogatory word about a promiscuous woman] who's [obscene term for sexual activity] and stuck it online for the rest of the world to [nasty ephiphet]" then I'd probably PROD that with the same rationale - the "not a good idea" refers to it being a potential BLP-violating train crash. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:52, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

(edit conflict × 2) Notable founder does not necessarily mean founder with an article, does it? Creating a company and selling it for $1.3b to IBM seems a more noteworthy feat than playing four matches for some cricket team. Let me see if I can't cobble together an article for this Gladwin, then we have a nice merge target :-) Regards SoWhy 16:53, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Hmm... I don't do sports. For the other Gladwin, it could go either way really. That Forbes article was probably the best I found. It's borderline whether founding a second non-notable (at least IMO at this moment) company rises to the level of independent notability above and beyond his first company. The other two founders appear to be patently non-notable without a chance. GMG^talk 17:02, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Not to wish to rain on your parade anymore, but I declined the speedy on Millar Gough Ink because it's founded by two notable people. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:08, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

(watching) Mind you, you won't find much more in RS than directory listings ("'in association with..." stuff), so AfD is probably a killer. —SerialNumber54129^{...speculates} 17:13, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Well, if you consult WP:ATD, if a non-notable company is run by a notable person, you redirect to that person. If it's run by two notable people, then there's a bit of a pickle. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 17:16, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

And if you nominate it for deletion and everyone !votes to just delete it outright, it gets deleted. Primefac (talk) 17:18, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

(edit conflict)(edit conflict) Alright well, I guess I'm just going much too fast today then. Time to stop and clean up my mess (already have the AfD screen open). Incidentally, the gangster fellow does seem he may be easily notable, especially once you know his name in Hindi. Just well outside my circle of competence to write. I was thinking attack page, but pushed A7 out of an abudance of AGF, because yeah, it did look an awful lot like a.. how do you say... "BLP-violating train crash". GMG^talk 17:17, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

(edit conflict)I'll second that and add to the above notes that you might consider waiting a bit before hitting pages with speedy/afd tags: all three of the pages above you tagged for deletion less than five minutes after creation, which can be taken as overly BITEy. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 17:19, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Well, the one, as I said, I was very much thinking attack page, so the courtesy blanking was a thing on my mind. For the other two, yes you are probably correct. GMG^talk 17:28, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

That's what I figured. I just wasn't in much of a mood for Oh, you uploaded/added a ton of advertorial copyrighted content? Here, let me write you an article. Sometimes it depends on what day you catch me on how generous I'm feeling for spammers. Today I caught Scott H. Stalker, and... well...

• Since I've got (counts on fingers and toes) a half dozen admins here... one of you wanna take care of this copy and paste move re: Adolphe Alphand and Jean-Charles Alphand? (Can I go back to writing articles yet? Does the RfC really have to stay open for 30 days?) GMG^talk 20:37, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

A very prominent admin told me off-wiki about two days ago that you should "do a Goldenring" and self-nom. Anyway, I think I've done what you asked. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 20:48, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I didn't know we had "very prominent admins". I thought we mostly had janitors.

On a different note, having thought about it for a little while, I guess I'd add in response to Amorymeltzer (and I say this as a person whose very first talk page message on this account was an A7 notification)... yes, it is bitey to nominate an article for CSD a few minutes after creation... but it's still bitey to nominate it 10 or 15 minutes after the fact, and even worse if it means they sign off in the meanwhile and come back to it already having been deleted. That's the exact reason I want to see ACTRIAL reinstated. The system without it is a forced choice between biting and letting very low quality articles sit around in mainspace. It's even worse in the aggregate because in the meanwhile it means we have people like me biting people out of obligation, instead of contributing to places like the Teahouse and AfC, where we can meaningfully help people make better articles and become better editors. IMO that RfC can't be closed quickly enough. GMG^talk 21:19, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I hear ya. That's definitely an argument in favor — draft process being gentler — and I don't think I saw it mentioned on the RfC yet. Honestly, I think anything within a couple of hours is too bitey; with the exception of G3/10/12, and the like, it's not the end of the world. But then again, that's why I avoid NPP. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 22:13, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Well, we could certainly use your help, at least to hold the line for a few weeks, and prevent things from being indexed by Google and copied to a half dozen WP mirrors, with whatever potential BLP and copyright violations they may have, all attributed graciously right back to us in a way we can't change. Just in case you find some free time. GMG^talk 22:22, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

For context, that wasn't a sarcastic stab. That was a genuine appeal for help. GMG^talk 22:29, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Not my fault that other people seems to hate everything that tries to be consistent or helpful or that Wikipedia doesn't have clear enough rules and guidelines. Or that I don't like to let myself get bullied by older edits with their bureaucracy and ganging together with their friends to outvote others. 99% of all edit war arguments are just "oh but I don't feel this" without backing it up with anything beyond that. Every person on this website seems to act like a giant hypocrite when it comes to edit warring. People just want others to give in to their ideas by incessant nagging and if you express your displeasure even a little you're being hostile or uncivil or something. Why is it even allowed that people tag someone else as an edit warner when the person themselves is the one edit warring with the other, huh?★Trekker (talk) 16:28, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

• Why are you choosing to be a hypocrite? You're edit warring just as much. Typical shameless behaviour.[7]
• How about learn to read and see that Legion has review for more than one episode? Huh? Are you capable of that? Why are you adding back the incorrect fact there? To big of an ego to admit you were wrong?[8]

What are some ways I could improve the article to meet Wikipedia standards and re-submit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mchellekm (talk • contribs) 17:46, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Hey Mchellekm. The short answer is Wikipedia is not a place to promote your company. The long answer is that you need to carefully review our policies on conflicts of interest and take care to abide by them, because failure to do so is likely to draw a good deal of unwanted attention. If you like, you can submit an article to our Articles for Creation project, where it can be reviewed by an experienced volunteer prior to publishing. But even then I would warn that if what you submit is anything like the article you just wrote, the entire ordeal is likely to be a waste of your time, and you're probably better off trying to promote your company using means besides creating a Wikipedia article.
