Beta Minetest Article

Hey, @Tokyogirl79:! I want to redo the Minetest article in the Beta space. Could you please move the old article to Draft:Minetest?

--User:AKA Casey Rollins Talk with Casey

Battered Soles

Thanks for your comments on Draft:Battered Soles. As you suggested, I've asked at WP:RS/N about the reliability of the review in Pickle Me This. You may be right, but I'm not sure what I'm missing in the applicable guidelines and policies. I'll see what the consensus is.

I was surprised that you couldn't confirm the content of the Winnipeg Free Press review. When I follow the link and scroll to the bottom of the page, I see the review, albeit buried in all the other text from that page of the paper, and with all formatting removed. Perhaps WFP only makes it available for free to users in certain locations or something. Earlier I encouraged the author of the draft to incorporate material from it, but maybe she can't see it either.

You may be right about Prairie Fire, it could just be a capsule review. I guess I'm WP:AGF that the editor who first added it didn't make it up and correctly evaluated its quality as a source. I'm trying to get hold of a print copy.

I don't think you should assume that a source is unusable just because you haven't been able to view it to verify it. That seems to go against WP:SOURCEACCESS. In any case, thanks for your time reviewing the draft. I didn't accept it through AfC myself because I'd contributed to it and wanted a second opinion. I can't carp if I disagree with some parts of that opinion :-) Worldbruce (talk) 09:28, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

• Well... without seeing it we can't really tell if it's going to be usable or not. There have been a lot of times in the past where I'd assumed that something was usable, only for someone to come forward with a fuller copy of the text and say that it wasn't usable because it was too brief to be used. (This happened a lot with Highbeam before I got approved for an account.) Basically, there have been too many cases where people have argued for a source, only to find out that it wasn't usable. I know that in one instance I had to write out an entire book passage in my userspace in order to show that a book mention was lengthy enough to be used as a RS since the book wasn't really available in Google Books at that point in time and looking for terms in the book didn't bring up any visible results. It's just that easy for people to contest sources, especially if they're difficult to view. In any case about the WFP, it may be that I'm on my work computer, which can sometimes restrict views. I'll try to take a look at it when I get home and see if that makes a difference. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:13, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Creating an article on a self-published novel

Hi there! I have a question for you (or anyone else that might be watching your page). I got it into my head that I wanted to create an article on Autumn, a self-published novel by David Moody. Mostly because I like it. The problem is that I've been able to find very few reviews: Time Out, Dread Central, and Kirkus Reviews. Think that's enough? Or would it be better to create an article about the entire series? Would that survive Afd if each book had only a couple reviews?

On an somewhat related note, I felt all proud of myself when I gathered enough interviews and other sources from my searches to possibly improve Moody's article. And then I noticed that you had already added every source I found. A year ago. I'm trying not to be bitter. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:14, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

• XD Don't be bitter! I'll see what I can find about this. I don't know about the Kirkus Review source since they started doing paid reviews in the last few years. Those are labeled Kirkus Indie (and this isn't one of those reviews) but it'd probably get dumped on if it came to AfD. I think that offhand it'd probably be better to do one for the whole series instead of the individual novels. You can always create articles for the book and then redirect them to the main series page if you think that you may be able to find additional sources over time, though. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:19, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

• Here's one for the series as a whole, but could be used for Autumn as well: [1]. Here's another one I found: [2]. I've got to get ready for work, so I'll try to get back on later and find some more. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:22, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

• I was afraid the Kirkus source might be unhelpful. Moody's official website has a really extensive list of reviews linked, but most of them are blogs. I'll admit that books aren't my strong suit, so if you've got any advice or help, that'd be appreciated. I tried checking WikiProject Novels, but it seems pretty dead over there. Mostly, I'm worried that any article about a self-published book will face intense scrutiny. I've created a few articles on books (eg, Zombie Movies: The Ultimate Guide), but these are mainstream, traditionally published books with a large number of reviews. If you think it's best to do a single article on the entire series, I'll do that instead. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:48, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

• Oh yeah- that's a given. I remember getting into a bit of an argument at an AfD once where someone tried to argue against notability just by saying it was a self-published book, which I objected to on the basis that I didn't want people to automatically assume that sp books were non-notable, which is something that's a pretty big trend right now. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:03, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
  • That's frustrating. I can't imagine a more tempting target than self-published genre fiction. Although, I did run into someone who deliberately created unreferenced microstubs on obviously notable topics. The idea was to disruptively make a point about heavy-handed speedy deletion on NPP. Unsurprisingly, he was blocked shortly after berating several overly enthusiastic patrolers. Anyway, I haven't started that article yet. I'm so lazy. But thanks for the sources!

Could I ask your opinion on this?

Hi, I hope this isn't an inappropriate thing to do (if,so, I apologise), but as I don't know you very well and you have no connection to Israel-Palestine topics as far as I know, I figure you're a good person to ask about this. Could I get your opinion on these edits? I made a comment in this RFC about now the topic of how to represent Jerusalem and how it was becoming unnecessarily complicated. Unfortunately, I phrased it in a very unfortunate manner. "What a tangled thread we weave" (thread to avoid using web, which would make it sound like I was saying someone was lying). Unfortunately another user (I would highlight, but I don't want a fight to cause disruption on your talk page) took it in a way I didn't intend and in retrospect, can't quite understand, and things got bad. I would appreciate it if you could look at all the diffs and give me your opinion as a neutral party. I think this is better than me further giving my side of the story as that would be tainted by my own perceptions and emotions. I'm trying to figure out what our disagreement is over and what I might be doing wrong here/not seeing. Thank you very much for your time. First Second Third Fourth Fifth Sixth and Seventh.

inre Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Monkey Kingdom

My explanation of my !vote: WP:NFF tells us how we may determine if "the production itself is notable per the notability guidelines." It does not state coverage must somehow be only about the unreleased film itself when it states "the production" (of the film). The trailer brought the production the requisite media attention allowing us information about "the production" that can use to inform out readers... plot, cast, crew, shoot locations, etc. The film is to be released in just 6 weeks and exceptions can be through common sense application of policy. I believe the article is a suitable stub that will be expanded and improved. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 23:30, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Rebecca Donovan

Hi Tokyo girl, would you be willing to revisit your nomination of Rebecca Donovan for deletion? There do seem to have been sources sugarscape.com, Boston Globe and some others that eluded you. Best, E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:45, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

• E.M.Gregory I've replied on there, but I have to caution you about your tone. You need to assume good faith when it comes to nominations. Saying that the editor did not do a proper WP:BEFORE procedure doesn't come across as very good faith, nor does calling other editors' nominations of articles "dumb". Furthermore, when you say that searches coming up blank are "patently untrue", understand that you are implying that the editor is lying about performing a thorough search. If you have questions about the search procedure, then the best thing to do is ask how and where they searched for articles or to just quietly put the sources on the page and vote "keep". Not only does the comments on the Donovan AfD come across as a bit of a personal attack against my editing, but it also makes me extremely concerned that you may be doing this to other editors. I'm used to getting questioned since I'm a very frequent editor and an admin, but please understand that this sort of thing can run off other editors if they think that you are not assuming good faith. Not only can this be seen as aggressive behavior, but it also puts a lot of people on the defensive when it comes to AfDs and interacting with you, especially since we cannot see inflections, body language, and general gestures on the Internet. You may not have intended anything you've said to come across as as overly negative, but that's how it can come across and it really isn't beneficial in the slightest. If you do think that someone (even myself) frequently make bad nominations then bring it up on the editor's talk page or go to WP:ANI or to another admin. Don't use the AfD as a place to complain about that editor or about other editors. That's not what AfD is for. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:55, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
• E.M.Gregory I'm also going to reply on this here so I don't drag out the AfD with more comments but... I do want to say that I was fairly offended that you remarked that I was overly confrontation and driving away female editors. A large bulk of my conversation was about how I did not see your earlier comments as having good faith. Now while I know you wanted to prove your point with notability and to a degree I can respect that, but did you stop to think that maybe I did see the comments as bad faith and harassment that might come across as something that would drive this particular female editor away from Wikipedia? Just because I'm nominating the article for deletion and thus is likely to have an opposing viewpoint doesn't mean that all of my comments should have been seen as something to throw to the side. I'm not permanently leaving Wikipedia, but I do think that you need to think about how your comments come across to other people. Holding a long series of comments with another editor about how you believe that few nominators do a proper search (even going so far as to say things that come across as you saying that people are deliberately not putting information in pages) and that the nominations are "dumb" does not really come across well. That's the sort of thing that should be held on talk pages, not at AfDs because it's so easy to assume that you're indirectly talking about the nominator. If you were the nominator and someone started doing the same thing (and you genuinely believe that you're right and you did a thorough search), wouldn't you be offended? Especially if that person started accusing you of being "part of the problem" with Wikipedia? Especially if that person was making comments that gave off the impression that they had done zero research on your prior edits on Wikipedia? It's extremely offputting, to say the least. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:15, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

• I mean, the big thing is that by commenting on all of these other AfDs and nominations in my AfD (rather than each other's talk pages) it really comes across like you are indirectly saying those things about my nomination. If you did something and then people started making comments about how other people who did the same stuff were wrong and their actions were "dumb" then don't you think that it would come across like they were trying to insult you? Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:29, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
• E.M.Gregory One last comment. This isn't about "winning". Frankly, if you'd commented on the sources without the long drawn out discussion about the other AfDs and the other editors, I would't have thought anything about it and might even have been more willing to work with you. However you really need to understand that this is why you need to be careful about where you discuss things adn how you discuss them. If you mention multiple faults with other AfDs or editors on another AfD then odds are high that someone will assume that you are indirectly talking about them- especially if you follow the comments up with more comments that also give the impression that you were indirectly talking about that person. It's an easy thing to do, considering how often I see people do this on various AfDs on Wikipedia, and it's especially easy to do since you are not personally there to provide inflections and body language to show that you are not talking about that specific nominator or AfD. Even if you think that the AfD was about me "winning", I really want you to take away from this that you should likely think about how your wording may come across to other people. I do have to assure you that my harshness on the sources is not about me winning, but because I want to ensure that if/when an article is kept at AfD, that it won't be nominated again a few months later for a lack of coverage. While I can understand your passion for wanting to keep articles, the sad truth is that notablity guidelines are strict and a lot of the people, items, and topics may deserve an article, they also may not have the depth of coverage to really survive an AfD. Heck, a great example of this would be many of the horror authors from the 1980s. Many of them were household names and sold exceedingly well, yet they never gained the coverage to pass notability guidelines. Another example would be several erotica authors like Sunny, who are popular but never really gained that much coverage.

My point with the sources was mostly that when I have an article up for AfD and argue against it, it's rarely because I want to win but because I want to ensure that the article will be safe from deletion from that point onwards. When trying to keep articles I try to avoid making arguments based on passion or anything that would fall into WP:NOT because that's a good way to get an argument depreciated, particularly if the article goes back to AfD.

At the very least please try not to discuss other AfDs or other editors' activities on another AfD. I've been assured by another editor that you likely didn't mean it that way, but please understand: it's extremely easy for people to take comments in a way you did not intend. That's why when you are at AfD it's a good idea to stay on the topic of that particular AfD unless those other AfDs or editors are extremely pertinent to that AfD. If you think that there is a bad trend of unreasonable nominations at AfD and its' done by a very general set of editors, take that up on the AfD page or on a user talk page. Do not use another AfD to talk about that because it runs the risk of turning into what you see here. It's just that easy for things to be taken in a completely different manner than what you intended. In all fairness that looks like it's what was happening with the things I was saying to you, as you're now assuming that everything I'm writing to you from this point on will be an attempt to "win".

I do think that this last bit is good advice, but I'm afraid that you are just doing to discredit it because you think I'm doing "sour grapes". I can't stress enough: please be careful with what you write and where you write it. Don't censor yourself, but please try to consider that what you write can have different connotations depending on where you are saying them. You've only been editing on Wikipedia since September of last year, so you haven't yet had the ability to experience this more fully, but I again have to ask you: please be careful of what you say and where you say them. I can't say that enough because if you hadn't used the AfD as a forum to talk about other nominations and editors, odds are that I probably would have just shrugged this off or been more calm in talking to you. I'm not trying to say that I couldn't have phrased myself more clearly at the AfD, but you could have as well. This is getting long and rambling, but I hope that you will take this into consideration, otherwise I can guarantee that you likely will run into other people that react as I have.

IP user removing sources

The IP editor who was removing sources, 165.228.41.149 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), is still at it, especially at Stormbreaker (film), where the editor has been edit warring to remove mention of The Numbers in favor of Box Office Mojo. I posting to the IP's talk page, I tried posting to the article talk page, and I've run through the templated warnings. The problem is that I've seen similar issues declined at AIV recently as "not vandalism". If I go to ANI again, I'm afraid that it's just going to turn into another long debate about whether I'm overreacting to the IP's edits. I'm not really sure what to do. I requested temporary page protection as an interim solution, but SummerPhD suggested that maybe this was not the best idea when I asked her for advice. So, now I ask you: what in the world am I supposed to do? I'm beginning to think that maybe I should just take the page off my watchlist and let the IP editor do what he/she will, as I'm tired of fighting over this. I agree with many of the IP's edits, but there seems to be no way at all to discuss the ones with which I disagree. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:01, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Csw1854

Tokyogirl79, can you help with review the block of Csw1854 (talk · contribs)? The editor behind this account made an unblock request yesterday which I declined. In looking at his edits, I was able to easily see his addition of a draft article which was an exact duplicate of the deleted article here. I made a critical error and mis-read the timestamps; csw1854's submission pre-dated the sock edits which moved the article into mainspace, making this easily explainable as the socks copying his work and not vice-versa. I didn't see anything else at the sock investigation other than this, and I don't see anything independently suspicious. Any objection to unblocking, or is there more to this?

Careless criticism

Apparently you are an inexperienced editor. It is a serious thing to accuse a person of plagiarism, as you do in these sentences. I suggest that you should not question a person's motives. That most definitely is not friendly. I am a teacher and writer and wrote every word that I submitted. It was my first submission, and naturally I will make mistakes.

Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | ^{Say Shalom!} 3 Nisan 5775 02:51, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

• Thanks for that Flinders! @Folkrelic: I've actually been on Wikipedia for about 5 years now, during which time I've weighed in on many articles up for deletion and I've made about 500 articles, so I'm not really inexperienced. In any case, the main issue with the content was that it was promotional in tone and read like something that you would read on an official website in an "about ____" section. In my experience with articles in the mainspace and at WP:AfC, if something looks and feels like it was written for an official website then odds are that it very likely was previously published somewhere else. It's extremely common and many of the people who frequent AfC (and WP:REFUND) will vouch for this. Most of the time that stuff happens because the person posting the information from somewhere either wrote the content themselves or the person who did write it asked them to post it "as is". However the thing with that is that if something has previously been posted somewhere else, then that technically makes it a copyright violation unless the content was published in a way that marks it as falling within WP:CC BY-SA or similar. (IE, anyone can use it without fear of reprisal.) This is extremely, extremely common at AfC (and overall) because when a lot of people think copyright violations or plagiarism, they're thinking of content that was created in order to make a profit. Because this is so common, myself and others tend to leave comments along the lines of what I have, letting people know about Wikipedia's copyright policies.

• Folkrelic, please do not edit this to remove other people's comments. If you'd only edited your comment I would have let this slide, but you removed Flinders's remark as well. It's highly discouraged to edit other people's comments and in this situation you edited this to make what you said seem less WP:BITE-y. Please do not alter this again. While WP:TPO does allow for some slight editing, what you did pretty much changed the tone of what you wrote and for Flinder's remark. Just leave it as is- it'll disappear off my talk page and get archived eventually. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:05, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
• Tokyogirl79, thank you for helping me with protocol. I understand your replacing the material. I edited my remarks to make my response professional rather than personal, and removed Flinders's remarks about me as a teacher because they were personal. I would like to move forward. One way to do this would be to place my Userspace draft on the appropriate page to receive specific suggestions on how I might revise it to meet the standards of Wikipedia. Please let me know to proceed. Thank you. D2 21:15, 28 March 2015 (UTC) Folkrelic

Dear Tokyogirl79, Thank you for your comments. I have since added some references based on your suggestions. Are these considered reliable? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Queen_Silvia_Nursing_Award

Maybelline Ooi (talk) 10:55, 23 March 2015 (UTC)Maybel

Hi Maybelline Ooi

I have had a look at the 4 references you have included in Draft:Queen Silvia Nursing Award

Here are some comments on them:

• 1) http://www.queensilvianursingaward.se/ - looks like the award organisation official website - primary source, could be included in external links section?
• 2) http://www.aldreicentrum.se/Nyheter/Stipendiechans-for-sjukskoterskestudenter/ - advert/press release for the award
• 3)http://bloggar.aftonbladet.se/hovbloggen/2013/09/drottning-silvias-nya/ - author of article appears to be a blogger
• 4)https://www.vardforbundet.se/Agenda/Aktuellt/Nytt-stipendie-for-kreativa-sjukskoterskestudenter/ - looks like a press release.

So, although, providing info about the award I would not say that they are reliable sources.

Here are some great wiki info that I have found useful in this regard - General notability guideline WP:GNG,

Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, Wikipedia:Independent sources WP:IS, Primary, secondary and tertiary sources WP:PRIMARY

Thank you

Hey Tokygirl79, the comment you posted on the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Journey_To_The_Forbidden_China was immensely helpful, I've been working on improving the article to make sure it is up to snuff. I can't thank you enough and I appreciate your offer to help. I just graduated and as such no longer have access to my university's library or catalog resources. Once again, thank you, and have a great day! You're helping me learn how to navigate wikipedia's rules much better, the examples were exactly what I needed.

• Clone019: I can help look for those sources with my college's databases, so I'll try to get to that later on tonight. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:32, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
• Done! I found a ton of sources and since you've already submitted it, I've accepted it to the mainspace. My only concern is that rather than include a section on the controversy, we may want to briefly mention it in the article's lead and redirect them to the section on the author's article that goes into more depth. I kind of edited it some to fit what sourcing I could find, but I'm fairly sure that I borked it up in the process since the expulsion affair had a lot going on.

What do I do if no sources or citations exist?

The title speaks for itself. What do I do if say, no sources exist that were actually usable as a citation (not another wiki article)Cyber demigod (talk) 21:19, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

• @Cyber demigod: In that instance unfortunately there's really not anything we can do as far as notability goes, so it can't be approved to the mainspace. What you may want to do instead is take the material and create a full wiki for Contract Wars on a site like Wikia or similar. I know that they're not Wikipedia, but the wiki would still be visible on a Google search for the game and you'd be able to do a lot more with this than you would on here. You'd be able to include all of the full gaming details like you have in the draft article now, as well as upload pictures from the game and so on. That would also possibly help with gaining coverage (although it's not a guarantee) since you (or the game developer, if you're not them) could refer to it in press materials that get sent out to gaming websites.

  • Draft:Google PageSpeed Tools (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello. I have received a message from you that article about Google pagespeed tools has been declined due to unreliable sources. At the same time all sources i have provided are from actual official Google Developers pages, official Google Coder blog, official Google WebmasterTools Central Portal or well-known and respectful SEO web news portals like searchengineland.com. Obviously, there are no newspaper articles about this subject, since it's only web-existant and I have never heard about any newspapers or magazines, writing about this subjects, which are known/ well-respected in SEO world. So, my question is which of sources, I have provided, are unreliable, and can you give me suggestions on what type of sources would be considered reliable concerning this topic? SEOMozinator (talk) 18:59, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

• Here's a layout of the sources:

So far there were only three articles that really sort of passed muster- the rest were primary sources, didn't mention GPS in the article, or had issues with the editorial oversight. I'd recommend running ProgrammableWeb and Search Engine Lab through WP:RS/N to really give them close scrutiny and if they pass muster there, then they can be used to show notability. I don't know that HyperLinksMedia would be usable because of the connection, but it'd be worth mentioning as well. If these are approved then they could push it pass the notability barrier. One thing to be careful of, however, is that you need to make sure that none of the articles were written by someone who is involved with Google or the tool itself at a level where that would pose a WP:COI. That's usually the main thing that proves to be an issue with anything computer, internet, or software related since there can be a lot of people working with the topic at some level, especially if it's open source. I will openly admit that I am fairly strict with notability, but that's partially because I want to ensure that when it does pass through AfC that it doesn't get second guessed.

Thanks for your help, i figured i had some unreliable sources on the article and i have taken them off. 360nobs, Jaguda and other sources left do have an editorial team that review each content before posting hence, making them very reliable. Will look forward to my article on the mainspace. Thanks again.

Fair Stone Standard review

Hi Tokyogirl79,

thanks for your review of my wikipedia article about the Fair Stone Standard. I updated the article and the text segments in question. Are there other parts where a formal tone is missing? Off-topic: Got any good and new shoujo manga to recommend? I still need a present for my girlfriend ;)

Greetings from Germany! FairStoneLabel (talk) 08:13, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

• Hmm... I don't read as much shoujo as I used to and a lot of what I do tends to be scanlations, but here's what I've been looking at recently: I've heard that The Devil Is a Part-Timer! is supposed to be pretty good, as is Love at Fourteen. Those aren't shoujo, though, since the former is seinen and the latter is josei. My Little Monster is pretty good and that's definitely shoujo, so I'd recommend that. My Love Story!! is freaking awesome, mostly because it's lead character is an incredibly likable character and because it's slightly unusual to have a male lead like that. Kamisama Kiss is also one that I've heard a lot of good things about, and that's also shoujo. If she's really OK with fanservice and I mean really OK with it, Monster Mutsume is surprisingly good. I'd initially dismissed it as wank fodder due to some of the pictures I've seen of the manga on the Internet, but at it's heart it has a pretty decent story (of sorts). It kind of reminds me of Tenchi Muyo with how the harem is set up. I can also recommend some new light novels since there's been some really good ones out lately. Yen Press has published quite a few and I recommend the following: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Accel World, and Sword Art Online. It took me a while to get into light novels since I didn't really get into the Haruhi Suzumiya or Spice and Wolf series, but these are pretty fun to read, especially the Dungeon series since they have a fairly unique perspective on JRPGs. Heh... has she read the Puella Magi Madoka Magica mangas? That's an interesting spin on the whole idea of shoujo, as is Magical Girl Apocalypse. They're both seinen, but they have shoujo elements.

Now as far as the article goes it's kind of tough to say specific points because there are bits here and there that are sort of iffy. They're not technically promotional/non-formal, but they're written in a way that could set off some editors' spidey sense, which is sort of what happened with me. I'm going to bring in a third opinion on the page since it may be possible that I'm being too strict, which is entirely a possibility. I'll also tag King of Hearts in this conversation since he closed the original AfD for Fair Stone back in 2009 and could probably help give a good opinion on Draft:Fair Stone as well. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:38, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

• Whoa, thanks alot for that comprehensive list. You do know your stuff... Im more of an anime and shounen guy and shoujo doesn't really tickle my fancy. Will check out your tips!
• I watched Sword Art Online, but found the second season to be lacking and never finished it. Does the story pick up? My time resources are not what they used to be... I miss my studies ;)

• @Fair Stone: I reviewed the text again and removed the marketing blah blah, hope I got everything. Thanks for bringing in a third opinion :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by FairStoneLabel (talk • contribs) 08:22, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

• I've only ever really read the light novels, which are pretty good so far. I've finished the third volume, but I will admit that I am a little afraid that it'll get somewhat redundant as the series progresses since later story arcs seem to take place over multiple volumes.

• Hmm... I've re-written portions of it to take some promotional-ish language out and I've added some sources into the article. I'm leaning towards it passing notability guidelines now. There's still an issue with some of the sources sort of being primary or database type listings, but the scholarship does get news coverage each year when the recipients are announced. I'm somewhat on the fence still with this one, but I think that I will approve it based on the news sources I found along with the news sources you had in the article.

Deletion of Pretty Little Liars (season 5)

Hi. I was wondering why the page for Pretty Little Liars (season 5) was deleted, as it said you deleted it. I'm curious since I was the one who made the page and I have supervised it almost everyday making sure everything is sourced and if so, the sources are reliable. Which is why I am very confused as to which criterias the page forfilled to be deleted. I for one, Don't think it should be deleted as it is not unreliable with sources, and the strukturert and the tone is neutral as it should be for Wikipedia. So I dare to ask to why would you delete the lage with no concrete reason. Twotimer17 (talk) 10:30, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
