why did you delete Mixtape Messiah 4 article

Hello, when i went to look up a hip-hop mixtape i was planning on buying but the article was deleted and wikipedia said you had something to do with it may i ask why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.101.122.31 (talk) 22:57, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

There was a community discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mixtape Messiah 4 where the consensus was to delete teh article. MBisanz ^talk 02:40, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

community discussion my ass you idiots dont know anything about mixtapes.

Well this mixtape is worthy of having an article and many people will want to look it up because many people waited long for it and it is an important part of the artist's career that mixtape was a very significant album and should have an article.76.101.122.31 (talk)

I'm not undeleting the article, take it to WP:DRV. MBisanz ^talk 02:27, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I read the deletion review and that made no sense a quote i heard was "not notable because of lack of media coverage like 99% of mixtapes" that was really stupid to say and im not saying you said it but obviously these people were not qualified to evaluate a deletion in anything that involves mixtapes or even hip-hop in general because out of all mixtapes that you guys choose to delete you choose to delete one of the most important mixtape series in hip-hop and you need to cleanup your mess.76.101.122.31 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 16:17, 31 October 2008 (UTC).

Deletion of Kotava

I note that the article about Kotava was deleted. Only three votations and four days for discussion ! Once again victim of the bad faith and refusal of some people without culture and who do not examine in any manner the quoted links. The world of the artificial languages is a crab basket. But the important thing is elsewhere, in real speakers and the ISO criteria are very more serious than the judgements-like of students or a database of the Google god.

Incidentally, I inform to you that Kotava is one of the languages of the MediaWiki software (version 1.12 and following) of Wikipedia. Nice contradiction!

And if you want it in Kotava:

Apology

I really do apologize if my comments on Admin Notice Board concerning Martinphi and Shoemaker seemed like an attack against you. I was obviously concerned about what was going on and that sense may have run over into my comments about the "fringe" article situation. On reading my comment over I wondered, so wanted to make sure you knew no attack intended and your comments were well taken. :o| (olive (talk) 14:56, 25 October 2008 (UTC))

IfD!

I was going through the PD images and wondered if you knew how to do a deletion or place this abomination (image) for deletion: [2] The uploader's main activity is to place this orphaned nonsense on WP. What a disgrace. --Leoboudv (talk) 02:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

The instructions at WP:IFD should be clear enough. If not, write up the reason to delete and I'll file one for you. MBisanz ^talk 02:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

• OK. Reasons: Single orphaned image by absent uploader. Image is out of Wikipedia scope. There are better images of this part of the human body. --Leoboudv (talk) 03:26, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

  Done at [[3]]. MBisanz ^talk 03:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Jeff Austin (actor) deletion

You closed this discussion nearly a day and a half early. Please reopen it with an appropriate note to allow a full discussion period. Minos P. Dautrieve (talk) 15:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

It was a rather clear consensus to delete for an AFD that was in its last day of being open, I do not believe consensus would change by reopening. MBisanz ^talk 17:04, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

At the time it was deleted, it had 37 hours to run. Per this discussion, [[4]], the consensus appears to be that such premature closures are inappropriate. I, for one, would like to comment on it. Minos P. Dautrieve (talk) 17:11, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to continue to decline to reopen the AFD, it was a clear SNOW-type consensus and at this point you've been blocked for two weeks for disruption and I see many similar requests to re-open AFDs to other admins, I believe this is an appropriate position.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Corned beef sandwich

Hi, you closed this discussion as having no consensus. My impression was that a couple of contributors were for keeping, but the vast majority were for delete, and they were the ones quoting reasons and policy. No argument other than WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS was cited on the keep side, as far as I can see. While I realise that consensus is a slippery thing to define, I thought that the closing admin would look at the strength of the arguments. In this case, a minority view was expressed very vocally. Please can you take another look? Of course, you're the admin, I'm not, and you still consider the views to be balanced life will go on, with or without a Corned Beef Sandwich wiki. Can't believe how a sandwich has stirred emotions so much! thanks for you time, TrulyBlue (talk) 13:23, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Heh, I know, I don't even like corned beef sandwiches. I closed as no consensus primarily since there seemed to be some confusion over the article topic, with some commenters confusing it with Reuben sandwich. Realistically, I could have probably also closed it as a Merge, but I felt there was still a decent amount of confusion out there to throw it into no consensus. Granted, it can always be redirected or merged without another AFD discussion. MBisanz ^talk 13:34, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your explanation. I doubt that the corned beef sandwich fans would be happy with a redirect/merge. Maybe when tempers have calmed a little... Cheers, TrulyBlue (talk) 17:18, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Regarding your edit on AE

Please email me at your earliest convenience with what Domer asked you to do. If it's the editor I'm thinking of, he's been warned explicitly that he was cruising for an indefinite block if he continued to bring it up. SirFozzie (talk) 20:03, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't have your email, can you emailuser me so I can forward? It was a clear threat that if I did not withdraw my support for sanctions on Domer, he would out another editor. MBisanz ^talk 20:06, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

FritzBot

Hi Bisanz. I was wondering if you could provide me a link where you had the conversation with Fritz about running the bot for French communes Dr. Blofeld 22:00, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Wasn't that some time ago when it was approved? Or is this a more recent thing? MBisanz ^talk 03:26, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Fritz has informed me that he can't run the bot the create articles as he was authorised to do. He did however say that he had been discussing a new proposal with you very recently about running cleaning up tasks with his bot instead, namely adding infboxes to French communes which he believed required reapproval. I was under the impression he had spoken to you about it, but I couldn't find any discussion the two of you had had at BAG or anywhere else. Dr. Blofeld 12:38, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh yea, he had sent me a message on IRC asking if he would need a new approval for new bot tasks and I had said yes and pointed him at WP:RBA. MBisanz ^talk 12:42, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah thats why I couldn't find it. Could you provide me the specific WP:RBA link I can't seem to find it Dr. Blofeld 15:36, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't think Fritz has written the new RBA yet for this task. MBisanz ^talk 01:35, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

AfD of My Lego Network

Hey :). You closed this AfD as 'merge' on the 13th October, but you seem to have left it hanging (looks to me like you may have got distracted :P). The AfD notice is still on the article, and the article remains unmerged - could you perhaps finish the job? Cheers, _TalkIslander 22:01, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd de-AFD'd it, but someone else needs to merge it since I'm just the AFD closer. Good catch. MBisanz ^talk 22:07, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Vihang A Naik

Dear MBisanz,

I saw that the discussion on Vihang A Naik let to the deletion of the article--but to my surprise the article is back up again almost immediately. Is that kosher? And that newly entered article is a carbon copy, as far as I can tell, of the deleted version (I know because I did extensive editing on it before it was deleted). Moreover, I have a gut-feeling that there's an COI issue there, that the user who put it up is none other than the subject (and the nominator on the AfD felt the same way, I noticed). Please advise. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 04:02, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Yep, its a copy, deleted. Thanks for noticing. MBisanz ^talk 12:14, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

No, thank you for your quick action. Have a nice day! Drmies (talk) 14:23, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

If you administrative advantages of changing the name of the feature navigation box for the feature detection (computer vision) page this is fine for me, provided that it works of course.

User:E0N - Redirect for Review, Please

Hi, I would like to submit this redirect for review: User:E0N. Thanks for your service. I hope this is the appropriate way to submit a matter of this nature. Again, thanks, --VictorC (talk) 08:55, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Sure, you can look at WP:RFD or give me your rationale for deletion and I'll propose it. MBisanz ^talk 08:56, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

The user redirected both his talk page and user page to the Wikipedia Main Page. I looked up his history, the user page before being blanked had a statement saying something to the effect of "taking an extended break" which I suppose is slightly immaterial. In any case, the fourth criteria, states that "the redirect makes no sense," applies here. The Wikipedia Main Page isn't a user talk page; isn't a user page by any stretch of imagination. So, I'm submitting User talk:E0N and User:E0N to the WP:RFD list. Oh, and take note, the name is spelled E "Zero" N, not "E O N." Again thanks for your service, time and trouble. --VictorC (talk) 09:28, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
