Help with A2E page deletions

Hello Ironholds, it's been a while...

Please look at the deletions by Mean as custard at [1] and let me know how I could improve the article.

I have some specific Questions about A2E deletions as well

• How a listing of certificates a company has (and Mean as custard just deleted off from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_II_Electronics) constitutes advertising? Is it not allowed on wikipedia to list a companies legit certifications?
• Also, other pages like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heilind_Electronics list articles, so I thought that it is okay to list articles when properly pointing them to the source, can I have those back? or can you tell me what is wrong with them, so I can fix.
• I listed citation to the "one of the largest independent companies" statement, is Electronic Sourcing not considered a legit reliable source?
• Also same page lists linkedin, facebook and similar links. so why were deleted from my page, is there a rule about this?

Please let me know, so i can improve the article properly. Thanks, Thadson (talk) 11:54, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

• Hey :). I'm afraid I am very busy with work at the moment, and can't promise a speedy response. Sorry! :(. Can I suggest WP:HELPDESK or somewhere similar? Ironholds (talk) 15:25, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Chinese politicians

You know... in fact, I created them just to exist hoping that someone else would add contect. I did it basically to remind other wikipedians of the existance of the guys.--The Theosophist (talk) 12:40, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

In the Chinese wikipedia, they have articles with sources. Unfortunately, I don't know chinese...--The Theosophist (talk) 12:46, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

If you didn't notice, the only thing I wrote was "X (X-X) was a Chinese politician". I don't think that someone needs to speak the language.--The Theosophist (talk) 12:55, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

I did not translate anything. I knew that they were chinese politicians. The only thing I took from the Chinese Wikipedia was the dates.--The Theosophist (talk) 13:02, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

I found sources at the Chinese wikipedia about the dates of only two of them. Now what?--The Theosophist (talk) 13:19, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

No, all have references about this and that, but only two about the date of birth and death. Would you like me to give you links?--The Theosophist (talk) 13:28, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Deleted template

Do you have access to deleted templates? I would like to obtain content present in the Template:Pakistan ties, deleted sometime in 2010, and merge some of the links it had into Template:Foreign relations of Pakistan as I can't remember all the articles it had listed. Could you help? Mar4d (talk) 00:45, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

OBLS

May I ask why my page was deleted but the Oxford Law Society page remains? ldesouza19 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldesouza19 (talk • contribs) 00:47, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

• That's actually a very good question; it really should have more sources. I'll add tags to that effect and notify the creators. Ironholds (talk) 00:49, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you :) And is there anyway I can create a page for the society that is in line with the regulations? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ldesouza19 (talk • contribs) 00:52, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Well, what you need to do is show that the society has been covered by third-party sources; newspapers, journal articles, books, that sort of thing. I appreciate it's a pretty high burden to set for a student society :(. Ironholds (talk) 01:04, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Your assistance please...

You concluded a speedy deletion of the article Akhbarona under WP:CSD#A7.

Could you userify this article for me? i'll put a {{db-u1}} if I agree it is not notable. if i disagree, are you interested in discussing my choices with me? Geo Swan (talk) 02:32, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Sure; happy to userfy it. If you disagree we can discuss it, sure, but there's no claim to notability I can see. Ironholds (talk) 02:33, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Now at User:Geo Swan/Akhbarona :). Ironholds (talk) 02:34, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Michael Szilágyi

Why did you delete the article of Michael Szilágyi? I don't understand. Szilágyi was an important Hungarian historical figure and served as Regent of the Kingdom of Hungary in 1958. The article had useful and relevant sources. Your step is equal to vandalism... --Norden1990 (talk) 16:08, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

The page was created by a banned user violating his sanctions; such articles have to be deleted. There's nothing stopping anyone recreating the article, as long as they aren't that user. Ironholds (talk) 16:42, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Deleting a sourced article is in readers' interest, isn't it? 79.117.210.62 (talk) 17:00, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Providing an active disincentive for users prohibited from using our site from doing so is certainly in the projects' interest. Ironholds (talk) 17:02, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

So priority no.1 is to discourage banned users, even if the collateral effect is that readers are deprived of an useful article. The precedence is: 1. Annihilate banned users and 2. Take care of readers' interest. Very interesting I can say 79.117.210.62 (talk) 17:08, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
