Benjamin Fulford

Why is his article deleted? There are many people less noteworthy than him with articles. Seems odd — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.149.67.81 (talk) 18:23, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Mr. Fulford's article was deleted because it didn't explain why he was important or significant. Please see User:Malik Shabazz/CSD#A7. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 04:04, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

"Overrated" disambiguation page

Hello! I noticed that you deleted the disambiguation page located at the title "Overrated" (created by Status on 23 January after moving its previous occupant to Overrated (Siobhán Donaghy song)), which Till (whom I've pointed to this thread) had tagged with {{db-disambig}}.
CSD G6 refers to "deleting unnecessary disambiguation pages, such as those listing only one or zero links to existing Wikipedia articles". In this instance, the page linked to articles about the aforementioned song and three unrelated albums containing songs with the same title. I'm not familiar with any of these recording artists or their work and don't know whether a disambiguation page should occupy the base title, but this wasn't uncontroversial maintenance.
Thank you! —David Levy 07:35, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Please see User talk:Till#"Overrated" disambiguation page for further discussion. (As noted there, Back Down shouldn't have been deleted either, though an earlier revision accidentally obscured its validity.) Thanks! —David Levy 13:12, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello David. Thank you for your message. I guess I misunderstood the purpose of the "unnecessary disambiguation" portion of G6. I've restored the page previously located at Overrated to Overrated (disambiguation).

With respect to Back Down, the deletion request was made by the sole editor to the page. I don't think it's necessary to restore the page, because it could have been deleted as a G7 instead of a G6. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 03:27, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

I've restored the page previously located at Overrated to Overrated (disambiguation).

Thanks very much. My one concern is that the edit history remains deleted.

With respect to Back Down, the deletion request was made by the sole editor to the page. I don't think it's necessary to restore the page, because it could have been deleted as a G7 instead of a G6.

As discussed at Till's talk page, the request was made because of a misunderstanding, so undeletion seems appropriate. —David Levy 03:50, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Page history of Overrated (disambiguation) restored.

I restored Back Down and deleted it again under G7. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 04:01, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks again, but you appear to have misunderstood regarding Back Down. I wasn't requesting that it be undeleted and redeleted to fulfill a procedural technicality. I meant that it should simply be restored. It's a valid disambiguation page that's useful to readers. Till requested its deletion due to a mistaken belief that it violated policy (and otherwise wouldn't have wanted it to be deleted). —David Levy 04:27, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

I've restored Back Down. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 04:32, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks again!  :) —David Levy 04:49, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

John Rupert Hartmann

hello malik how are are you .. my name is John Rupert Hartman and im wondering why i was deleted and how i can be a reliable source for wikipedia jh 22:14, 15 February 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by John Rupert Hartmann (talk • contribs)

Hello. The page in question, User:John Rupert Hartmann/sandbox, was deleted because it was strictly promotional. We strongly discourage editors from writing autobiographies (see WP:Autobiography), but the best way to write a neutral article is to summarize what reliable sources have written about a subject. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 03:33, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Martin Luther King Page

I am reporting you to the upper management of Wikipedia. I have linked a cited source to the department of justince proving what really happened in the jury trial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwayne Gresham (talk • contribs) 14:10, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

See the message I just left on your Talk page. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 14:13, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

NO THEY DID NOT. HERE is the link to the department of justice and the results of the civil trial!

http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/crm/mlk/part6.php#conclude

HERE IS THE TEXT:

VIII. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

After reviewing all available materials from prior official investigations and other sources, including the evidence from King v. Jowers, and after conducting a year and a half of original investigation, we have concluded that the allegations originating with Loyd Jowers and Donald Wilson are not credible.

We found no reliable evidence to support Jowers' allegations that he conspired with others to shoot Dr. King from behind Jim's Grill. In fact, credible evidence contradicting his allegations, as well as material inconsistencies among his accounts and his own repudiations of them, demonstrate that Jowers has not been truthful. Rather, it appears that Jowers contrived and promoted a sensational story of a plot to kill Dr. King. See Sections IV.F. and G. above.

STOP LYING — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwayne Gresham (talk • contribs) 14:19, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

That is the Justice Department's view, which is summarized in the article ("In 2000, the Department of Justice completed the investigation about Jowers' claims but did not find evidence to support the allegations about conspiracy."). The fact is that the civil jury believed there had been a conspiracy:

In 1999, the King family conducted a civil case to consider the existence of an assassination conspiracy. The suit (for wrongful death) mentioned only Loyd Jowers by name, but also alleged government involvement.

The jury–six blacks and six whites—found that King had been the victim of assassination by a conspiracy involving the Memphis police as well as federal agencies. This verdict affirmed Ray's innocence, which the King family has always maintained.

Please read the article more carefully, and please don't accuse other Wikipedia editors of lying. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 14:25, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

MLK Source?

Your link provided to your "evidence" doesn't work on the Martin Luther King page. Fix it if you want to be found credible. You are making allegations that it is true but you have NO SOURCE. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwayne Gresham (talk • contribs) 14:31, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

I don't know which footnote you're referring to. Except for #55, all the relevant footnotes seem to work for me. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 14:35, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Apologies

Apologies, Malik You are correct in that the jury did affirm the conspiracy. However, you should also cite the link to the conclusion by the department of justice, to be fair and impartial. --Dwayne Gresham (talk) 14:50, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

No problem. We all get worked up sometimes. I'm sorry I mistook your good-faith edits for vandalism.

I just replaced the old link to the DoJ with the new link you provided. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 14:58, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Deletion request

I wrote this article Secularism in Bangladesh years ago as a young student, and it simply does not reflect the mature discourse of the issue in Bangladesh. According to speedy deletion criteria, if the author is the sole substantial editor of the article, then it can nominated for speedy deletion by the author itself. The article has hardly changed since I created it. Probably a few grammar and spell checks here and there. So I am requesting you to reconsider. Thanks. --Bazaan (talk) 17:15, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Bazaan. There have been a few minor additions to the article since you wrote it, but I've gone ahead and deleted it as you requested. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 17:20, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. You speedied this as a hoax. What editor was the author — there is another "Pal" at AfD, is this by the same person? best, —Tim /// Carrite (talk) 17:19, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Tim. It was created by User:Peopleofindia, who is, I suspect, the author of the article you're asking about. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 17:23, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Worksoft Page

Hi Malik, I made an error posting the page on Worksoft before it was ready for notability via independent sources. Hitting save page instead of show preview. If we may remove the page completely to restart, I will proceed more carefully. Thanks for your consideration.

Hi Anand. If you'd like to write a new article about Worksoft, please feel free to do so. The best way to write an article is to summarize in your own words what reliable sources have written about the company. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 18:08, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Jeff The Killer

Malik, I don't really understand why you deleted the 'Jeff The Killer' article. It is a popular creepy-pasta, and is part of Internet phenomena. You can say it is 'not important', but what about the other tons of fictions on there. Are they important to life and survival? No.

If you want, would you like me to make a page about Creepypastas instead and add Jeff the Killer there?

Please let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FictionFan2013 (talk • contribs) 18:38, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

The article was deleted because it didn't explain why "Jeff The Killer" was important or significant. Please see User:Malik Shabazz/CSD#A7. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 18:45, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

But that logic is ridiculous; there are tons of articles on Wikipedia who serve no purpose in my life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FictionFan2013 (talk • contribs) 18:55, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

The criterion isn't whether an article serves a purpose in your life, but whether the article asserts the importance or significance of its subject.

It does, it is a creepypasta. As I said previously before, would you like me to combine it into a Creepypasta wikipedia page?
