*I don't mind the Chinese titles as long as the English titles are adjacent to them. However, I don't think the casts should be listed in Chinese, especially for those actors who already have articles in the English Wikipedia (example: [[Huang Wenyong]], the first actor listed for the first program, is listed as [[Huang Wenyong|黄文永]]), but for any of them. All these names can be transliterated into English using whatever the appropriate [[Chinese language romanisation in Singapore]] is. Similarly, many of the notes are in Chinese, and they need to be in English. --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] [[User talk:Metropolitan90|(talk)]] 13:24, 24 September 2012 (UTC) |

Channel 8 is MediaCorp's Chinese language channel. I would think most people who go this page know Chinese. Also this page was already like that (cast names & notes in Chinese) since last year and it was not tagged for translation and there was no complains. Pinyin-ising it causes a lot of confusion because 1 pinyin has many characters. Also you mentioned [[Chinese language romanisation in Singapore]] but it is not that easy. Each family has their own way of spelling so we cannot simply 'romanise' a name. -wiki user {{unsigned|203.28.150.125 |

Deletion review request. Why was [[John B. Kimble]] deleted? The deletion review was not completed and mostly keep or no consensus.

*Sorry, I disagree. This is the English language Wikipedia and people should not be required to know Chinese to read the articles here. If people want to read the cast lists of these shows in Chinese, they should be put on the Chinese Wikipedia. I did not say that all the names should be put into Pinyin, I said that they should be put into the ''appropriate'' Chinese language romanisation, which may not necessarily be Pinyin. Since English is the official language of government in Singapore, I would expect that each actor would have a standard spelling for their name in roman characters, and that's what should appear in the table. --[[User:Metropolitan90|Metropolitan90]] [[User talk:Metropolitan90|(talk)]] 02:14, 3 October 2012 (UTC) |

My account got hacked. I had intended to leave your edit and also transfer it to the Chinese wiki. The page got screwed up recently, someone had removed all disambiguation links and ended up totally messing up the templates in the process. At the moment I'm trying to align and update the Chinese wiki with it. I will change it to English once I'm done. Thanks for your patience.
Cheers ~~Acsian88 (talk) 10:21, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for working on this. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:42, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
The page was quite crap in the first place and so cluttered it that it was difficult for anyone to read. Anyway, I've changed most of the links to English. The other secondary pages linked from it are in English. I've left the 1980s section as it is. There's not much info in English about shows or actors from that era so I'm leaving it be. As for your "translation proposal", the Chinese titles are there for reference purposes. ~~Acsian88 20:06, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello, You recently deleted the page Amit Arya. Could you let me know if it would be possible that the page stay with changes such as album releases and concert touring information?
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mewati2012 (talk • contribs)
- No, I didn't delete it. I moved Wikipedia:Amit Arya to Amit Arya. Pages beginning with "Wikipedia:" are supposed to be for administration of the encyclopedia; regular biography pages don't have a prefix like that. As you can see by clicking on Amit Arya, the content of the page is still there at the appropriate page title. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 13:12, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Since your a admin, can you bring the discussion to a close please? It's causing too much trouble, and I trust your descion. Libertasgov (talk) 18:55, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for your confidence; however, I would not be an appropriate person to close the deletion discussion, because I already expressed an opinion in the discussion. (See WP:INVOLVED.) I'm not sure what the best procedure to follow in this case would be, but you could try asking at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:55, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

I didn't realize Speedy Deletion didn't apply to written works and I also didn't realize what PROD was used for (regarding Betryal of 2). Just wanted to drop a line saying thanks for teaching me something new! Deflagro (talk) 04:27, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
- No problem, glad to be of use. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:39, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
You deleted the userpage of User:For An Angel and also User:For An Angel/Wikipedia, apparently at the user's request. I think you should be aware of this discussion on User talk:Jimbo Wales. You may wish to restore those pages. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 04:02, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- I will respond in the discussion at User talk:Jimbo Wales. In short, though, I will authorize any admin to restore the pages if doing so would be appropriate under Wikipedia policy and guidelines. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:23, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 22
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of musical medleys, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert Palmer (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:59, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Why was the speedy declined? Only possible claim to notability is "he is a boxer", which I didn't consider big at all. Buggie111 (talk) 04:06, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
- It was a judgment call, since at least I was able to confirm that he is a professional boxer. If you really believe this is a speedy delete, go ahead and renominate it for speedy deletion, and I'll let another admin make the call as to whether it deserves to be speedied. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:37, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
- It seems I just have a lower opinion about the notability of pro boxers than you do. It was previously A7'ed with almost identical content, but the Prod probably won't come off since the creator is blocked. Buggie111 (talk) 15:36, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
deletion request
I've figured out a better fix. I'll add Ohanian to the HI page & provide reference. (I was about to add a note to say "Never mind".) Thanks for your assistance.--S. Rich (talk) 18:20, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

The article Girl Meets World (TV Series) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Speculative article with no references, about an alleged upcoming series
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Elizium23 (talk) 23:49, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
Deletion of Michelle Denise Profit not sure if you remember me :) but I've finaly decided to make another attempt to "correct" my entry with your help. But now, I can't even find the deleted article I posed in July 2012. Do you know what actually happened to it? I really need your help. Thanks,Karlrichards (talk) 00:27, 8 January 2013 (UTC)Karlrichards
- The article has been deleted, but I'll restore a copy of the last version to User:Karlrichards/Michelle Denise Profit so you can work on it again. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:17, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Bus Routes
I've noticed that you believe that some bus routes pages are not notable. To clarify on what what pages are notable can you please look through these pages and tell me the ones (if any) which are notable.
- List of bus routes in Central Suffolk
- List of bus routes in Soham
- List of bus routes in Peterborough
- List of bus routes in Cambridge (Strange this page exists as it is covered by List of bus routes in Cambridgeshire)
- List of bus routes in Colchester
Englandtransport (talk) 19:51, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not particularly enthusiastic about any of these lists, but I find that it's easier to make an argument against the existence of the lists that are mostly unsourced. The Peterborough and Colchester ones have dozens of citations so I'd have a harder time advocating for their deletion. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:51, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
