Hello again. You also deleted Generation Y (organization). This nonprofit organization is a significant and renowned international educational technology group. Looking through the speedy delete criteria, it says that, "Note that simply having a company, product, group or service as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion." I request that you reinstate the page. -- Freechild 14:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Please do what you need to in order to allow me to view the original content of this article. The article was original and not related to whatever the previous concerns regarding copyright were. You deleted it too quickly. Freechild 00:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I guess I should Thank you for confiming that the wiki is not a place where I need to spend anymore of my time working towards adding any information. Clearly the wiki is experiencing a lack of quality from its admin people as has been pointed out many times. Thanks for playing, as they say.Pitonpro 12:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Please relax

Please settle down from blatantly deleting so many "bloody" pages. You deleted 4 pages in about a minute.. a little fast maybe? Or try talking to some of the people rather than deleting pages within a minute of their creation like Maple Skate. I ask that you settle down, talk to people before you delete their pages, read WP:BITE, and maybe stop just deleting the pages and start tagging them for speedy. I created Maple Skate, and didn't have time to expand or make changes to make it less biast, and you deleted it!

Uncanny

I've added some sourcing. I was in the middle of completing it when you left me a message. I'm surprised you found it so quickly. Anyhow, I hope the sources are to your liking, one is a translation (from German) of Freud's original text in which he discusses\defines the uncanny. it will certainly need to be cleaned\added to, but there is a lot of time for that. If you do decide that it is not enough please let me know. --Thaddius 07:44, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Sallie Ann Glassman

Hello,

You deleted a post I made regarding New Orleans Voodoo Priestess and artist Sallie Ann Glassman. While I understand that the article was short and existed only as a stub, I was truly hoping that others would help fill in the details.

Ms. Glassman is not just a New Orleans oddity. Her work as an artist and as a priestess as helped numerous people both in the United States and in Haiti. She is actively involved in promoting Haitian art while protecting Haitian artists from exploitation. Her own art work has graced public buildings, served as the cover for many fine books, and has been shown around the United States. She has appeared on numerous television programs (most recently on Sci-Fi Investigates on the Sci-Fi channel in the United States) and has been the subject of some controversy (Maury Povich, while working for A Current Affair, aired a very unflattering piece about her artwork which sparked some very intense debate over the right of artists to exercise free speech.)

Ms. Glassman is currently involved in the New Orleans Hope & Heritage Project, a grass-roots organization that is devoted to preserving the artistic, spiritual, and cultural heritage of New Orleans in the wake of hurricane Katrina. Her efforts in this domain have been noted by many spiritual leaders around the nation.

Please help me understand the policies for article submission so that I can properly enter an article detailing the fine life, charitable works, and amazing experiences of a woman that MANY consider to be the reigning Voodoo Queen of New Orleans.

Thank you for your time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MensKeperRa (talk • contribs) 03:52, 24 December 2006 (UTC).

Fred Ettish

I can only agree that Jim is a horrible administrator, he recently deleted an article i did about Fred Ettish for NO REASON at all. It took me some time to create that page only to se it deleted by you for no reason other than maybe feeling good about yourself. You are ruining wikipedia.

re: Autoblock

Deletion of Michigan Interactive Investments

Hello,

Why was the article 'Michigan Interactive Investments' deleted? The reason as listed is 'advertisement'...What are the criteria for this. We are a real organization at the University of Michigan.

Deletion of Ken "Pope" Parry page.

I understand that you want us to have sources for various people. I have done so.

Please, in the future, if you feel an article does not meet the standards, open up discussion on the article and give the authors some time to meet the standards that you believe are not met. This would be much more preferrable than just deleting the page without warning.--Paul McDonald 03:16, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Angry Nintendo Nerd

The Angry Video Game Nerd is an extremely popular video series currently being produced by James Rolfe. Google it, it'll only take three seconds. If it needs sources, I'll find them, just don't delete it. --Donahue2 09:44, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

May Louise Cowels

Okay, this is getting frustrating. I, for one, would appreciate it if you would lay off the instant deletion of pages that do not seem to meet your standards. If you do not think they meet your definition of noteworthy, please please please make a comment and we can work to improve it.

Your method is to delete the article and give the comment "(nn biography/vanity)" -- what does that mean? Non-noteworthy biography/vanity maybe?

May Louise Cowles (1892-1978) was a noted economist, researcher, and published author. She had many submissions published in the Journal of Home Economics, the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, and Rural Sociology. She also produced several widely-ready pamphlets including Meeting Housing Needs of Older People in Rural Areas (1957) and spoke at a string of national seminars to encourage the addition of family economics to home economics instruction across the United States.

Of another interesting note, she was born in Sibley, Kansas, a town that no longer exists.

I'd argue that's noteworthy. If you had read the resource link I provided (which you deleted a previous article of mine because I hadn't put it in yet) you would have know that.

I'd also argue that this is not a vanity biography. I don't know anyone from her family, at least that I'm aware of, and she has been dead since 1978.

Speedy Deletion Review

Please visit the Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion and only use speedy deletion for articles that meet one of the twelve guidelines given by Wikipedia.

Here they are for your review:

1. Patent nonsense and gibberish
2. Test Pages
3. Pure vandalism
4. Recreation of deleted material
5. Banned user.
6. Housekeeping
7. Author requests deletion.
8. Talk pages of pages that do not exist
9. Office Actions. (The Wikimedia Foundation office reserves the right to speedily delete a page temporarily in cases of exceptional controversy)
10. Attack pages
11. Blatant copyright infringement

Please note that "user who did not create the page doesn't like it" is not on the list for "speedy deletion" like you have seem to have repeatedly done. An article in that category may very well be a candidate for deletion--just not speedy deletion.

I encourage your participation in Wikipedia and always welcome discussion and editing. If, in fact, you do find an article that meets these qualifications please do mark them for speedy deletion. These rules can help make Wikipedia a better place.

--Paul McDonald 15:59, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I deleted this again after it was re-posted. Author has taken it to DRV, but without notifying the deleting admin (or admins in this case) per step 3 of the instructions.

Hammarlund on deletion review

Hi....Hammarlund is a historically significant US company and important within amateur radio circles. The aerticle links to at least one article and can grow. The company went out of business in the 1970's, so the article cannot be an advertisement. Will you help me restore it? Thanks. LuckyLouie 19:02, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

For your reference: Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2006 December 26#Hammarlund. Given that you didn't cite a specific criteria, I'd appreciate your rationale. EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:07, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Among radio historians and collectors, Hammarlund is well-known, and is equal in notability to Collins_Radio and Hallicrafters, both of which are defunct US companies (therefore not advertising) that link to amateur radio topics. If the Hammarlund stub shall remain, I will expand, cite independent sources, and further Wikify it in the future. LuckyLouie 22:10, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

We Seem to have a bit of a problem here, Jim

By no means am I a whiner of any sort, but I like to see peoples work respected as well as my own. The way you just delete articles without leaving reasons or deletion votes is just unacceptable. At the very least, copy all the information from the 'Angry Nintendo Nerd' page that you deleted and send it to me so I can improve on it somehow. Either you need to lighten up with the deletions or something needs to be done about you. You've stepped on enough peoples toes. --Donahue2 23:35, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I suggest Jim try talking to some of the people rather than deleting pages within a minute of their creation. Giving someone a day to respond to planned deletion will not harm Wikipedia. It may even do a lot of good, as I can plainly see that Jim's instincts are more often wrong than right. LuckyLouie 00:34, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

It's really not fair, since there's no way to tell who deleted the article. My guess is someone vandalised the shit out of it and it was automatically deleted by some Admin. Fuck. --Donahue2 01:37, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Donahue2, see this, just put in the name of the article to figure out who deleted it. It's all quite transparent, actually. Mak (talk) 05:02, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

In that case, I'm sorry for putting you through the trouble and acting like a dick towards you. You had every right to delete the page is it was. I'm very sorry. --Donahue2 01:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't abuse your powers

Jim, you have the ability to delete articles - but only if they should be deleted. You deleted a biography stub only minutes after it was created, for NO given reason. I have over 6000 edits here - I don't create articles not of notability. Care to explain yourself? Thanks. — Wackymacs 15:46, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Do your homework before blatantly deleting anything you like, that article applies for the notability guidelines. Cassie Young was involved in Playboy, she's a popular pornstar in her field, and she's appeared in multiple adult movies. A quick Google search reveals all of this. *SIGH*— Wackymacs 15:54, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

At the end of the day, you did delete the article too soon - ideally, at least several hours should be given before an article is deleted - otherwise you've got little to judge by. Editors most often return to an article they create. Anyway, it proves I was right and you were wrong - the article was notable. — Wackymacs 09:42, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I make a fuss because I am absolutely fed up of administrators who cannot do their job properly. I wasn't expecting you to add sources or expand the article, but you know very well you shouldn't have deleted it so soon -- Here's some advice for the future: Contact editors before deleting their articles. People skills are invaluable. — Wackymacs 15:21, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Alectoris

Re: your rv to Alectoris, I checked with Wikipedia:WikiProject Birds - Bird names and article titles and see that birds' common names are given preference for Wikipedia. So, while I strongly disagree with the practice, I assume this applies to references within an article as well and I can't object to the rv. But what is the basis for listing them in taxonomic order, an obsolete and very arbitrary system? Is the reference given at the end of the article actually using that system or are your referencing an older book? I'm curious. HouseOfScandal 10:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

openbravo deletion

dear jim i know that he article was deleted previously. but now i think there is a good reason for it to be created on wikipedia. i would like to reapeat what user jordi said here "Sorry folks, but "This page may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. The given reason is: previously deleted" does not sound like a good reason too me since I cannot see the criteria followed to delete the page in the first time (since I did not write it).

I do not see any reason why this page is wrong. Some reasons for keeping this page:

- This page describes a free software/open source project like many other pages at Wikipedia.

- OpenBravo, like Compiere and Adempiere is a free ERP. All of these projects release software regullary, have their communities behind them and are used by many users and are commercially backed. I do not see why Compiere or Adempiere can be in Wikipedia and Openbravo not"

also the reason given for deletion previously was that there were not enough google search results for the same. now there are more than 40,000 results and 63,000 downloads for openbravo.

so please restore the page sms —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Siddharthmukund (talk • contribs) 17:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC).

Note: I am not complaining about any particular deletionDGG 18:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

yes, most are appropriate

but not quite all. Mistakes are made, and I try to catch & improve the few I recognize, but obviously I can only do this in the few fields I know. This occurs mainly about A7, usually people not recognizing specialized topics, often when the text does not explicitly contain the words "This is notable". I am not concerned about any particular page at the moment, and nothing I have worked on has ever been listed in any deletion process. The log is available to non admins, but not the articles, but going through the log is cumbersome, and anyway I do not want to request access to a few dozen possible titles to save perhaps one of them. I find it ironic that the other procedures have waiting periods, but the one that is hardest to review does not. It seems out of keeping with the usual spirit of things here, where perhaps excessive discussion can be a problem. DGG 18:43, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Please restore the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra

Why have you deleted the article - twice - claiming it's a commercial? It's a straight set of facts. It used the exact same format as other orchestras that are listed. Who the orchestra is, where it is based, who the conductor is, and what kind of material they perform. The Hollywood Symphony Orchestra is an existing American symphony orchestra and, like its sister orchestras, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic or other similar orchestras, such as the Boston Pops Orchestra or the London Symphony Orchestra is an actual world-class symphony orchestra that performs live and records cds. Why do you keep deleting the article about it? It is well-known and unique for performing the top film scores of our time, including world premiere movie scores. It is noteworthy. It is notable. It has a lot of celebrity attached to it.

After you speedy deleted it, the user created the artcicle again, and it is yet again a copyvio from the same article, the only changes are for example changing passive voice to active voice. I thought instead of re-listing for CSD it'll be better to let you know about it. Cheers! --snowolfD4^{( talk / @ )} 19:17, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi you just deleted as NN, but the author instantly recreated. Can you salt? Thanks --Steve _(Slf67) ^talk 07:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh well, google the name is a lot of entries come up. I'll keep looking for notable details. The article is referenced in 1990 World Series. BuickCenturyDriver 07:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Your signature

Could you please remove the "big" tags from your signature - it disrupts the text appearance on pages where it is uses. This section of WP:SIG has more information about it, and why using <big> tags are disruptive to the pages which it is placed on. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 10:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jim, you recently deleted Indira Gandhi National Open University as copyvio. The article has been around since 2004. If copyvio material was added recently, it can simply be reverted. It is unlikely that a 2 year old article with many edits would be entirely copyvio — Lost^(talk) 11:32, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.. I'll clean it up — Lost^(talk) 14:52, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the speedy delete - it was certainly fast. I was just leaving an edit summary when I noticed the page had vanished. I was actually intending to list it at AfD when I noticed there was already a deletion debate from June, the result of which was "speedy delete". Looks like it was recreated in October or so.

Do you mind?

Bloody hell, I only created Easy Software Products 10 seconds ago! I have restored it. Sheesh. --Ta bu shi da yu 16:40, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

For that matter, you seem to have speedy deleted a number of articles (for instance Alice Springs Public Library) that have had to be restored. Can you please be more careful? You do not have the authority to delete all articles, and I can assure you that my article was neither spam, non-notable or badly constructed (given that you gave me no chance to edit it to expand it!). --Ta bu shi da yu 17:29, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, he deletes to many articles. See mine right below yours?

More Freedom License 00:43, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Not necessarily. I think that speedy deletion is needed, just a bit more care required. It's tough admining Wikipedia and removing spam, etc. The More Freedom License article you contributed was just the license, and you only just created the license itself so it's original research. I also would have speedied it. Jim, all is good, just be more careful in future! sorry for being so harsh, incidently: it really wasn't warranted. --Ta bu shi da yu 09:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Why did you delete 'More Freedom License'?!!!

Why did you delete 'More Freedom License'?!!! It was just telling people about a software license I created!

Appeal to reconsider the deletion of "Tellapadu"

Dear Jim, Please re-consider your decision to delete the page about a very famous village in India called "Tellapadu." I created the page only about a day ago and it is unfair to expect contributions immediately, especially from a country like India where Internet penetration isn't high (nowhere compared to the West.) Please also note that this page isn't just about a group of people but a showcase of eminent personalities the village has produced and its cultural heritage.

Thanking You, Regards, Amar (user:altruism)

Wouldn't it have been better to have put a {{cleanup-rewrite}}? You can eqsily see it is qn Indian article from a followed up wikilink. - Ta bu shi da yu 22:36, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Appeal

Dear Sir, I would like to add my displeasure also at the speedy, and quite needless, deletion of a page created mere moments before deletion. I did not even have time to add an ammendum to the header of article stating my intentions to link to an existing wiki page for the purpose of extending information on the existing page. I believe your speedy deletion to be in violation of the spirit of the speedy deletion clause. One must certainly allow at least a modest amount of time for the author to enact a revision and cross link to other wiki articles to prove significance. Some of us require more time than others to code text and it would be wise to take this advice to heart in this spirit of thoughtfulness. I will now repost this article not in an attitude of defiance, but to further the original cause and I hope that it will not again be in vain. Looking over this talk page, I suggest that you let at least one day, 24 hours, pass before you yourself pass judgment. As a fellow historian, albeit novice, surely you will allow the notion that a small and insufficient article such as the beginning of what I had posed does not pose enough of a intellectual threat, or distortion, to warrant such a swift extermination. Next time I suggest your take care to more carefully analyze your edits, least you should be thought of by this community as a hindrance to further scholarship. I am sure many of your revisions are a great assistance to the advancement of the wiki spirit and cause, however please be much more considerate in the future.

Thank you in advance for what I’m sure will be your cooperation for the furthering of American history. (Humble origins and such) If you can restore my previous efforts I would be greatly in your debt.

Read Discussion Pages before deletion

You need to read the discussions pages before deleting a site. Beyond that a site should have a few days to compose itself before any deletion attempt is made. Under "#11 Blatant advertising." "Note that simply having a company, product, group or service as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion."
