AfD Andrew E. Unsworth

Hello. Many thanks for considering the Andrew E. Unsworth AfD. One concern I had over the course of this process was that there appears to have been a degree of WP:VOTESTACKING as can be found here. I would be interested in hearing your views. Karst (talk) 12:53, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

• Sigh. User:ARTEST4ECHO appears to be the only project member who posted at the AFD though... Stifle (talk) 13:25, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Brp18 Peak Scientific Instruments Ltd

Hi. You had this page I had created deleted due to unambiguous advertising or promotion. It was the first page I had created so I believe I had made some errors with regard to properly citing my information. I have added a request for the page to be created here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Business_and_economics/Companies with relevant third party sources. Will this allow the page to be created? If so will it take a long time to be created this way?

Thanks. Brp18 (talk) 14:16, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

• Hi, this is a request for someone else to create the article for you. It will be done when someone gets around to it; we have no way to predict how long that might be. Stifle (talk) 14:43, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Michael Snow (attorney)

Can you please userfy the talk page and article to my space. Valoem ^{talk contrib} 22:00, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

•  Done at User:Valoem/Michael Snow (attorney); for future reference requests at WP:REFUND are likely to be handled faster. Stifle (talk) 13:49, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

  Do you mind if I restore this article as is based on the first AfD being a snow keep (no pun intended) and the second AfD having practically no discussion. I feel the nytimes citation does established enough notably and this person should survive a more detailed AfD I can add more sources going forward also could you userfy the talk page as well? Thanks! Valoem ^{talk contrib} 07:48, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

  I'll userfy the talk page and won't object to the page being recreated, but won't guarantee it won't get redeleted by a colleague via AFD etc. Stifle (talk) 10:12, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Blac Haze

Hey, the article would have been kept since it was relisted twice and it was more wanted to be kept. Why did you close it? I am going to request a deletion review since I can add how Let Me Holla At Cha was on the charts and Res-Sa-Rec-Shun got an AllMusic review. It was also noted he sounded just like 2Pac. 174.4.163.53 (talk) 07:52, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi there, deletion discussions are decided based on consensus and Wikipedia policy, not a vote. Notwithstanding that, there were four deletes to two keeps. I believe my closure was correct. Stifle (talk) 11:41, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Ah, well could it be restored or sent to me by email? I think more people would want it kept if asked as well. Bozo33 (talk) 06:47, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

I can do that, but can I ask what you propose to do with the article if I restore it? Stifle (talk) 11:06, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

I'd improve it, and show it to people for their opinion to know what to improve so it can be put back on Wikipedia. 174.4.163.53 (talk) 23:50, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

I can't userfy it for you though, unless you create an account. Stifle (talk) 12:12, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Seventeen Article

Hey there, I'd like to know why the Seventeen article was deleted, since I did provide (and was ready to provide more if needed) reliable sources to site their song released, concerts and features in songs/MVs. If it's because "they haven't debuted yet", shouldn't the iKON article also be up for deletion? I don't see how the Seventeen article was violating Wiki's policies. Aquamaraqua (talk) 23:50, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Seventeen (band) explains why the article was deleted. I implemented the consensus of Wikipedia users on the subject. Each article is considered separately on its own merits and we are unable to take into consideration arguments comparing articles to others. You are free to nominate any article for deletion if appropriate. Stifle (talk) 10:49, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

My question wasn't really answered though. I was part of the discussion. No replies whatsoever on the fact that there were many (reliable) sources that accounted for Seventeen's various activities. Aquamaraqua (talk) 04:17, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Deletion discussions are determined by consensus and this is the standard I applied to the discussion closure. You are welcome to list at deletion review if you believe my closure was not in compliance with Wikipedia process, but deletion review is not merely a second bite at the cherry because you disagree with the outcome for reasons previously presented.

Paul Randles

Do you have any objections to having Paul Randles restored to Draft:Paul Randles? I saw some potential sources in the AFD, and I have one of my own, so I would like to try working on it. BOZ (talk) 19:09, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Go ahead; please file your request at WP:REFUND. Stifle (talk) 12:33, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Will do, thanks. :) BOZ (talk) 15:14, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Request Page

Hey there -- Are you able to put the deleted page[1] in a sandbox for me? Never got a chance to save the data in case subject becomes more notable. Thanks! --TV | talk 01:08, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Deletion review for Paul Randles

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Paul Randles. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

AfD request to fix consensus reading

Hi there. With regard to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Split, how did you come to the conclusion that merge is the consensus option? It's certain that some number of people suggested that option, but other people said explicitly that a merge is not the most appropriate course of action, which went unopposed. In general, there was very little elaboration of what exactly is the standard of notability that we're talking about here, mostly just statements (not a dialogue). A simple head count wasn't quite conclusive - 1 delete because of copyvio, 3 deletes because of notability, 3 merges because of notability, 2 keeps because of notability, 1 keep because of a bad merge target, 2 general keeps. I don't see that any consensus arose in that discussion. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 21:21, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

• Hi there. Deletion discussions, which are not judged on headcount, can end in one of two broad results, which are delete or not-delete. The variations on not-delete, including merge, redirect, etc., are not especially important and it is within the gift of users to discuss them further via normal consensus-building such as on the talk page. Additionally, I gave less weight to new users with no other contributions. Stifle (talk) 09:05, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Please reconsider

Stifle, I'm not looking for any drama, but I ask that you carefully reconsider this comment ([2]) and strike the problematic portion of it. It's not only untrue, it's also demonstrably unfair in its implications; WP:CFB members regularly fight like cats and dogs over the notability of CFB-related topics at AfD, and we are more likely to vote delete than keep at AfD as a group. The present AfD is a gray area judgment call, and I could have just as easily !voted to delete the article. No one begrudges you your opinion; please assume that WP:CFB members are acting in good faith and not as part of some cabal/conspiracy to keep non-notable CFB-related topics. I can assure you, we are not. Thanks for listening, and I look forward to !voting with you in future AfD discussions. Regards, Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:47, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Please reconsider

Stifle, I noticed you just delete the Milstein Family Foundation page. I have taken every comment in to consideration, and added another source again this morning. I rewrote the page, I tagged it to MANY other pages within Wikipedia and ask for an explanation so I can understand. There was no more activity at all this week since relisted asking for more opinions, so why does it get deleted? Please help me 74.212.201.38 (talk) 22:21, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Comparison of African Traffic Signs

Thank you for closing. Might you also delete the other two articles I combined into the single nomination? Fry1989 ^eh? 23:03, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Please look into this

You overturned a decision to keep a page that i worked for a very long time compiling Smokingroove. This was to be my first on Wikipedia and something i worked with the artists themselves to compile. They are the biggest DJs in this country and have made a social impact on the scene here and are such, worthy of addition to Wikipedia. Please look into this again as i think with your help, i can make the page fit into what you think could be a better page. This really would mean a lot to us here in Dubai where we've worked hard to create a social reflection of the city. Thanks BluntWorthy (talk) 07:40, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Request: A copy of a deleted article

Hi Stifle, I see you removed the article Nirmukta. I planned to save a copy, but was too late. Can you place a copy of the deleted article in my userspace? Thanks in advance, Kind regards, Timelezz (talk) 17:03, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
