Did you delete my article. Please Reply.
Hussain A Tamboli
Hussain a tamboli (talk) 20:45, 6 September 2011 (UTC) Let me know the reason behind arguing on deleting the UML fever. The page is being written as a course assignment for a Object Oriented Modeling and Design. The page is under construction. Please don't delete this article. Let me discuss with our advisors.
The Kinky Kwartet
I would like to know why the Kinky Kwartet page was deleted. They are a legitimate band that is notable. They have been on Djibouti's top ten list which I believe satisfies that they are notable (WPBAND). I see no reason for the page to have been deleted.
The Free University Movement =
There appears to be spammers who advertise yogurt and other products deleting articles about the Free Open College and Free Open University movement. Thousands of people around the world are joining the free University movement but some do not believe that the "unfit" should have access to free university education. Some have other motivations to remove all references to the Free University Movement. MIT's open courseware is neither free nor open. It is typical for their open course to have no content and only refer the learner to a list of hundreds of dollars of MIT and other textbook publications. Wikipedia spammed their textbook selling scam while deleting all references to real free content such as UC Berkeley pod casts etc.
we are getting deleted and swamped by spam selling CLEP guides and link sites to online schools. please help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottprovost (talk • contribs) 08:31, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for keeping an eye out for spam articles!
I removed the speedy tag since the article asserts notability with the links to reviews in magazines. It still has a lot of problems, however, which I have tagged.
When you "speedy" an article, it's always good to give article creators a {{spam-warn}} notice warning them of imminent deletion:
- It's a courtesy
- It gives them feedback on what not to do if they want to recreate the article
- It leaves a record of the deletion on the user's talk page should he add more of the same articles in the future.
Again, thanks for patrolling for this sort of article.

AfD for Wilmington Montessori School
Andrew, You initially and correctly put a Speedy on my first wikipedia article - Wilmington Montessori School - this past Saturday. I began my first wiki entry (for WMS) by viewing most of the other articles for sister schools in the Mid-Atlantic region. At the time, I was unaware of WP:WAX and WP:N, as such, my first entries mirrored many of those articles and did not carry much weight for notability even though I was providing as much or more information than other representative schools (again, unaware of WP:WAX .. and WP:V, WP:N, WP:RS, and even the proposed guideline Wikipedia:Notability (schools) that could provide at least a minimal starting point for a proper article). Since that time I have been reviewing many of the WP policies and guidelines and have also been revising the article with the help of other editors and have completed the following,
- Two other editors cleaned up any promotional material. I also removed a debatable claim that was not backed with secondary sources.
- Several secondary sources have been added.
- New reference added, although written by the current head of school, it is a doctoral dissertation and probably falls under WP:V "Academic and peer-reviewed publications are highly valued" and WP:RS Scholarship.
- Two additional references from independent educational associations, Tomorrow's Child published by The Montessori Foundation and Montessori Life published by The American Montessori Society are periodicals and could not be considered extremist or self-published by WMS; therefore, they also could fall under WP:V and WP:RS
- Two additional references regarding national grants - the first by the US Environmental Protection Agency; and, the second by Toyota and the National Science Teacher's Association.
- Added Montessori Life reference that "Wilminglon [sic] Montessori School ... Delaware's oldest and largest Montessori school..." [1]
With the additional recent work toward establishing notability and the additional comments by other experienced editors, I would appreciate if you could review Wilmington Montessori School, Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_deletion/Wilmington_Montessori_School, and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Wilmington_Montessori_School and provide your opinion.
Regards. --Daddy.twins (talk) 12:16, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello.
Comradio is not an attempt to blatantly advertise a for-profit organization. It is part of an education institution and teaches students the fundemenals of Radio. I would ask for help in creating a better page rather than deleting it immediately because ComRadio is a well known station that many people may want to learn more about.

Hello, sorry for not understanding Wikipedia's policy on external links correctly: being a no-profit website, where a project open to any new collaboration/collaborators is proposed without any sort of commercial (or any other form of) advertisement, I thought the link could be useful and of a certain public interest. Yes, I can realize now that a conflict may arise between my "private interests", as a programmer, and Wikipedia's obligations. So, I apologize for my disagreeable inattention, and thank you for your kindness. --Faustotorre (talk) 11:18, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

The big problem here is that the original creation of this article was a spammy effort to WP:COATRACK an ad for somebody's parent company, which sells this vile service. I have nothing against using it as a redirect, since the COI is thus defeated, and it's pretty clear that the term is in use by the Evil Empire, among others, independent of the spammer's employer. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:09, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

You deleted the Pet airways page claiming that is was selling a organization and that is not a note worthy item that belongs in an encyclopedia.

proposed museum deletion
Hi AndrewWTaylor, a few days ago you proposed Gounaropoulos Museum for deletion. Dr.Blofeld's stubs and his subsequent efforts have caused an amazing amount of articles to come alive, both in Films and Geography. Many of them however are doomed, and since you brought up the above mentioned stub, there is an awful lot more exactly like it under Category:Museums in Greece. Being familiar with Greek, I have attempted comparing with the Greek wikipedia's lists of museums, and visited as many links as I could find to determine notability. Few of these "dictionary-type" stubs are worth developing, but most should be condensed in a list IMO, if anything. How do you think is best to go about this cleanup?

Altered Speedy Deletion rationale: Zac poonen
Hello AndrewWTaylor, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I have deleted a page you tagged (Zac poonen) under a criterion different from the one your provided, which was inappropriate or incorrect. CSD criteria are narrow and specific to protect the encyclopedia, and the process is more effective if the correct deletion rationale is supplied. Consider reviewing the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Thanks again! Coffee // have a cup // ark // 16:02, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
Andrew,
Thank you for replying to my message contesting deletion under the category of "unambiguous advertising". I have read the guidelines you referred to and was very careful to follow correct formatting and refrain from any opinions negative or positive, in order to remain neutral and informative.
To be honest, I'm honestly sad to say that I'm losing faith in Wikipedia. I thought it was for everyone, for anyone, to share any neutral information that allowed people to find out more (about more stuff), in one place.
Well, there is so much unwarranted negativity and red tape that it feels like it's just not worth it. I feel that I should be telling everyone how contributing within the guidelines of Wikipedia (as I have done) is a big waste of time (I don't want to... but that's how I feel).
This is very frustrating. Could you please actually tell me how that page qualified as unambiguous advertising? Because if not, then shouldn't it be undeleted?
When someone has put hard work into creating a totally neutral and informative page, I don't understand how an admin can delete it without providing even a single specific and referenced reason. And without a chance for meangingful discussion. How can we possibly help the community to grow within the guidelines and spirit of Wikipedia and keep in check anyone who might otherwise impede it's growth and good nature (making unwarranted claims and imposing unfair penalties on honest contributors).
I feel that I'm trying to make an honest and valuable contribution and that at present I'm surrounded by bullies who answer to no-one. Is that the spirit under which Wikipedia was created or is supposed to be administered?
Wikipedia:CSD#G11 "Note that simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion."

Knock-out Whist
Dear friendly editor Andrew,
I kindly ask you to revert your move as for the image deleted or replace it for a more suitable one once you think it doesn't fit the place. As a more experienced editor than I am, you know that unless clearly better or more appropriate images are available, the existing images in the article should be left in place (Wikipedia:Layout#Images).
Knowing that your concern as for the improvement of the articles listed in Wiki is noticeable, I assume that you agree that delition is indeed a step backwards. Yes, I entirely agree with you that the image in question may not be suitable for the article, so if you can't or don't want to make it any better, please, don't delete it. There are hundreds of images that you can place there, all at you disposal. You can choose any one you wish, one that you like, and I will struggle to keep it there for you.
Yes, I was called attention on many subjects here in Wiki, but I didn't take this as an offence or enough reason to get mad at those who called my attention to the problem. Instead, I followed their advice and made them my friends.
Yours truly, Krenakarore (talk) 23:42, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello AndrewWTaylor! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 722 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Deletion of external link in Music Notation
Hi Andrew, I have read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:EXT and it seems to me that the Clef Cleaner webpage is an excellent candidate for an external link. It is not, as you say, a "blog post", but rather a webpage like all the other links with Wordpress used only as a framework. If you read the content you will find that it suggests a much better system for musical notation than any of the other "alternative" notations mentioned. I would go so far as to say this theory deserves its own section in the article, while most of the other links you have approved are personal webpages that bring nothing new to the table, some are full of ads, some are webshops. Any thoughts on this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.71.19.244 (talk) 11:11, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Migdia Chinea "anonymous (street meat)" Mig (talk) 19:29, 4 July 2011 (UTC
Hi -- I think I'm being hacked because I couldn't get through this morning at all. My page has some signs on it that are not fair because all that has been inserted on the text are updates. The decision made by Judge J. Spencer Letts is in the Supreme Court Appeal and it's a matter of record, no one can dispute that. Everything else is correct.
On my grandfather Jose Luis Chinea -- When one deals with Cuban issues, such as my grandfather Colonel Chinea, one must understand that Cuba is a closed totalitarian country not unlike North Korea with which Cuba maintains diplomatic relations -- communication with the island is restricted for exiles and their relatives, so the government NEVER responded to my request for information about my grandfather, which is not unusual -- I'm going to try to post a picture of my grandfather here in full regalia -- that's as close as I get vis-a-vis corroboration. Most Cubans have nothing left here of their past because the Cuban government doesn't allow paperwork when one flees and sometimes it becomes impossible to carry such paperwork on an inner tube, as you may imagine. Well, I can't figure out a way to get a photo posted -- can you show me how? It's a shortcut on my desktop.
As to "anonymous (street meat)" More will be said about my short because of its quality and subject-matter -- here's a linked Bruin article in that regards (my name was misspelled) -- http://www.dailybruin.com/index.php/article/2011/05/grad_student_midgia_chinea039s_film_039anonymous_street_meat039_selected_for_cannes_short_film_festi

Old business that has resurfaced and because of that, this is for the record -- just in case.
There was an article in which the Judge assigned to the case against the WGAW and CBS was quoted as making the statement "if you can get something for half-pay why would you pay full price." The piece was deleted by unknown. However, it is quoted in the class action Supreme Court Brief and it would not have been quoted if it wasn't a matter of record.
I've been maligned by the Guild and CBS as if I had done something wrong and as if I had opposed "affirmative action." The Guild -- along with CBS -- have all the power and money.
Here's what I did: I opposed half-pay in the name of "affirmative action" and thought that it was used as a cynical ploy to demean Hispanics, obfuscate the truth and squelch dissent.
I must also point out that I was blacklisted in the industry to this day and that some Hispanics benefited for going along with the WGAW/CBS half-pay program and they also benefited for speaking out against me. In my view, the half-pay program was nothing more than a publicity stunt to artificially increase employment stats. As deplorable as that can be -- it's dog eat dog out there and since Hispanics are discriminated, not only does the Guild, and the rest pit, one against the other, but Hispanics themselves will do whatever it takes to get ahead -- even if that means sentencing another Hispanic to unemployment and oblivion.
My conscience is clear, but my bank account reflects the consequences of this back backstabbing. I have resurfaced as a UCLA Grad film student and have not allowed their combined behavior to impede my aspirations or ambitions -- even though I'm fully cognizant that they have put me through hell unnecessarily and that I'm paying for having opposed discrimination -- paying with my purse and my time and my health, by being humiliated. Paying, when professors who dislike uppity Hispanics make disparaging comments. Paying for not abiding to instructions that I not talk about myself.
Still paying.

Speedy deletion nomination of Expanish
I've declined your speedy deletion request for Expanish because it is a school and is therefore not eligible for speedy deletion under WP:A7 criteria. Thanks. --Mrmatiko (talk) 18:40, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
Bounty edits
Hello, I reverted your Bounty edits because "it is hoped" is passive voice and not as succinct as "hopefully," the adjective "singleminded" for Bligh is more straightforward than making an adverb out of it and thus needing to add a comma, and it was a difficult voyage. Regards — HarringtonSmith (talk) 16:04, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- I like the repetition of "difficult" for the same reason I like "It's a dirty story of a dirty man and his clinging wife doesn't understand." For me, it's what makes the sentence — but like you, not enough to want to fight over it. At least not with a fellow fan of MOTB. Cheers — HarringtonSmith (talk) 23:37, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
This was an error on my part and has now been corrected. Thank you for pointing this out. Bigar (talk) 11:45, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Gayhooray
Hello AndrewWTaylor. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Gayhooray, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7: the article claims 1.9 million active profiles, this is enough of a claim of notability to make CSD A7 invalid. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 21:30, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
User:K.h93/SMS Billing Types
Hi I have been trying to create this page SMS Billing Types for a while as I was looking for the information to help with an article I was writing myself about SMS Billing and for the first time Wikipedia was no help! I have had the page deleted twice and been warned for advertising (not intentionally but now I see what they meant by it!) I was wondering if you could check the page and get back to me with any helpful feedback please! I would like to ensure others have a full knowledge of this.
Many Thanks!

Hi Andrew. The creator of all those comic character stubs has now been blocked for sockpupptry. They may have created dozens of such articles. If you feel like a challenge, would you like to have a go at finding the rest and tagging them all for CSD? I'm rather tied up on something else at the moment. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:45, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion :) I'll try to have a go at it over the next few days. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 16:26, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
This article wasn't eligible for speedy deletion criteria A7 (or A9) as the album is by a notable musician, Scott Stapp. I've redirected it to the Scott Stapp article as there is a section about the album there. Peter E. James (talk) 22:07, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi AndrewW! I have asked the WikiProject China/NNU Class Project to for some help with this article, and so would ask you to remove the WP:CSD tag, if you are on-line now. It may or may not be declined otherwise. Your thoughts about this? --Shirt58 (talk) 10:14, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
black as a nun's twat
Thanks for the info on this on my talk page. I did find the answer a week after I posted that, but I have never managed to locate the collection of juvenile verse of famous poets. I do remember it made us all collapse in laughter circa 1970, but I can't rem what it was called. Do you have any idea. It certainly is a great idea for a Christmas compendium, is it not?

Honley Junior Schoool
I have converted Honley Junior School into a redirect back to Honley and thus removed your prod. I nearly speedied it myself and would have done so had it not been a newbie(?) creation - but it had to go! Regards Velella Velella Talk 10:28, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

My edit to the Stephen Lawrence article is fully sourced to the old version of the Met web-site. Silly liar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.120.127.78 (talk) 14:05, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello AndrewWTaylor, I notice that at User talk:Syllae#Speedy deletion nomination of Hilton Saven, you have added a speedy deletion template. Was this page deleted?, as it may have been created again. The current version was created after you put the template on the talk page. --220 of Borg 15:43, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
