User:Imagi-King/Steamin' and Dreamin': The Grandmaster Cash Story

It's not even a "work in progress." It's a copy of an article that was deleted after a very contentious AfD, then posted again with supposedly-new material and again shot down via AfD. I'm fairly certain this user intends to try to slip this in again somehow, which is why I keep it on watchlist. (The user appears in the film described.) If there's some policy that allows this to be removed, I think it should be. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 15:27, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

It's not really doing any harm there, the "userspace draft" template adds "noindex" which means it will drop off the Google radar. You could try MfD again, but I'm not sure it would succeed - there are people who would say "give him more time... " My advice would be, wait till November, when it will be six months since the last AfD, before taking it to MfD and citing WP:FAKEARTICLE. JohnCD (talk) 15:42, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Before The Murder

Hello, you have recently deleted my addition to wikipedia, a short article about a Slovene band, Before The Murder. They have had gigs with well-known bands, such as Here Comes the Kraken, Fuck Your Shadow From Behind and they are playing at a gig with Trigger the Bloodshed today. They have an EP and some websites definitely wrote about them. So what must I do to satisfy your so-called criteria of relevance? Cheers Heftybagdisposal (talk) 15:59, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

See WP:BAND. More on your talk page soon. JohnCD (talk) 16:31, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

My apologies!! Still learning here, but I'll get there. :-) Sorry for troubling you again. ~dee 16:21, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks so much, those last two links are EXTREMELY useful. ~dee 17:11, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Input and output device

can u please unlock these pages as we can edit them with more content —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.110.143.117 (talk) 20:46, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

No. Whenever those pages are unprotected, they get unpleasant vandalism, which always comes from the same block of Birmingham IPs - and your IP comes from that block, too. JohnCD (talk) 21:13, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

socks

Hi JohnCD, I wanted to ask your advice. I suspect the sock puppetry of a recently blocked user Pricer1980 - using perhaps 18 different names, some creating disruption. What is the easiest way to follow this up? I know there is a history here I am unaware of and am a relative newcomer to WP. Thanks Spanglej (talk) 08:37, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

What I know of the back story is here: 1, 2, 3, 4. As far as I know, he has only been socking with IPs up to now, and as I told Erik there is nothing to do about that but play whack-a-mole. If he has been using registered accounts, we should make a report at WP:SPI. What are the accounts, and what makes you think they are Pricer? Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:15, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Could you undelete this article? We have now received permission via OTRS which I can add as soon as it is restored. VernoWhitney (talk) 22:25, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

 Done, but tagged for notability and COI. JohnCD (talk) 09:41, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much. Cheers! VernoWhitney (talk) 11:58, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protection request.

Can you semi-protect Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown? It had been vandalized several minutes ago days after its last protection expired. One of the vandals prematurey put "Sole Survivor" to that effect on the page when the season's not even over yet. I'm sure the guy, despite jumping IP addresses, will continue using the same MO. BTW, I'd filed a report at WP:RFPP, but the admins who regularly watch the page seem to be out right now. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 09:45, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

 Done for another two weeks. JohnCD (talk) 09:49, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Previously Deleted page

Hello John, I really need your help. I was attempting to create a page for one my life mentors and it says that somebody else had already created a page but that it was deleted by you. I would really like to have this page running and I would like to know why you deleted that page so that I don't have to go though the same thing. The page was "Bert Oliva."

Thank you very much John.

Rivera.jon (talk) 15:05, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

I see that articles about Mr. Oliva, including two by you, have been deleted once by me and many times by other people, the reasons generally being that the articles were promotional or that they did not establish notability. Advice on your talk page soon. JohnCD (talk) 16:19, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Osnat Shurer - your help and guidance much appreciated!

Thank you indeed!
The article's talkpage hadn't populated the "living=" field with "living=yes", which I've now tidied. I think it thus would be wise to wait a day or so to re-try the AfD, as the BLP patrol may be better placed than me to have a look at the article.
Thanks again,

Wizard sticks

wizard sticks is worldwide you dumb nerd. this is the reason wikipedia sucks. it got deleted because there are no google results? are you for real? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.113.234.20 (talk) 13:42, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

It got deleted because article subjects have to be notable and verifiable, and this discussion decided that Wizard sticks wasn't. JohnCD (talk) 14:37, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Special:Contributions/Budigol

Hi John, can you take a look at these:

• 2009–10 Perserang season
• 2010-11 Perserang season
• Perserang Serang

The club Perserang appears to exists at some level in Indonesian football, but the content of all the articles are hoaxes. The articles make claims about matches against top clubs, and claims top players in the team (even Wayne Rooney heh), which are easily proven false. 98.122.178.110 (talk) 16:37, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
