== iServer proposed deletion ==

Hi there,

My apologies for deleting the Article-for-deletion notice - this was accidental when I made the article title a lower case template. iServer is a product developed by Orbus Software, whose page was recently deleted. Could this be why the iServer page is now being flagged for lack of notability? The iServer page was flagged right after the Orbus Software page was deleted so I'm just trying to understand a bit better the problems with this page

Many thanks in advance

02:27:03, 5 May 2015 review of submission by Librariegrrl


I added a bunch more References. I didn't format them perfectly (that's why I didn't "re-submit" yet) because I wanted to check with you first to see if I gave enough info to correct my initial error. It seems obvious that if Bastille (band) is notable because of winning awards and charting, then each member of the four-piece deserves individual recognition as well. I didn't know how to elaborate on Chris Wood's contributions without repeating everything in the Bastille (band) main article or the Bas Blood (Bastille album) article.

I really would like your help because if I can get this right, then I can add an article about Kyle Simmons (the 4th Bastille member). For some reason, the article on Will Farquarson was approved. I basically used that article as the basis of my Chris Wood article, but it was still rejected. This makes me think that you should review the Will Farquarson article also so that I understand why he wasn't A7'd and Woody was.

Librariegrrl (talk) 02:27, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Librariegrrl: There is a little tool in the eft hand margin, reFill. I used it to format the references. I turned OGG the option for access dates, which we do the first time around. Try that . I only reviewed the draft as if he were a living person. Musicians have to pass WP:MUSIC, a standard I never quite seem to get right, so I can't tell you if he passes that one. I do know that a band member has to be pretty special to get a named article, and that they are usually redirected to the band itself. Fiddle Faddle 08:04, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]


@Timtrent: Thank you for explaining about why Woody (band member) wouldn't get his own article. I only thought that he should since William "Will" Farquarson who is no more notable as he is also "merely" a band member of Bastille *did* get an article. I see that the correct answer is *not* that Woody and Kyle should *also* get articles like Will. It's that I need to ask them to take down Will's article based on A7 "notability" for WP:MUSIC. The correct course of action is to roll info and details about individual band members of Bastille into the Bastille (band) main article until one of them becomes more "notable" (like, Bono or something). (note: I have no issue with Dan Smith - lead singer and founder of Bastille having his own article because he is truly special, but Will is no different than Woody or Kyle.). So, *new question*: how do I ask that Will Farquarson be taken down and add Will Farquarson, Chris "woody" wood and Kyle Simmons to wikipedia to "redirect" to Bastille (band)? thanks bunches for all the help Librariegrrl (talk) 03:47, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Librariegrrl: Take the following steps, in order.
  1. OnTalk:Will Farquarson start a new section explaining what you believe needs to happen along the lines of "Since Fred is not really notable in his own right, I will be merging the relevant material into the band's article. To allow for objections I will wait a couple of days before I do this." Use your own words and name the band article proper, linking to it
  2. After the period has elapsed, merge the relevant details, saying in your edit summary what you are doing
  3. On completion of the merge, there is no need to ask for the member to be deleted. Instead you turn it into a redirect to the band article by replacing 100% of the text in it (This included any categories, etc) with #REDIRECT[[Insert non-formatted text here]] where the non formatted text is the name of the target article.
  4. State on the band member's talk page that the material is now merged and that you have turned the page into a redirect
We use redirects in these circumstances because the person's name is a valid reader entry point. Indeed, it is valid to create redirects for every band member of a significant band to point to the band's article. My view is that every good Wikipedia editor should do this.
The important thing with an existing article that you are turning into a redirect, unless you are the only editor, is to seek consensus first, hence the message on the talk page. If you are the only editor, WP:BOLD applies. Note, though, that you may not go against a consensus. So, if folk object to your original message, and the arguments against outweigh the arguments for, leave it as it stands. Fiddle Faddle 07:47, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Timtrent:Thanks so much. I will follow the steps that you outlined. Hopefully I will have time this weekend. Thanks again for your help. Librariegrrl (talk) 22:27, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Timtrent, Really sorry for that, it was not my intention to offend anyone. I tried to replace the whole part with my own words. Can you have a look now and let me know about your thoughts? Thanks a lot for your time! Best Regards, Tony (talk 13:33, 7 May 2015 (UTC+2)

@Antpetsas: One of the first things we try to check is copyvio stuff, so it surprises me that they missed it. It isn't a rule exactly. It is protecting Wikipedia from legal action by the copyright owner that is vital. WP:COPYRIGHTS tells you more than you want to know.
I would have handled that section another way, as it says in my note, and I recommend it to you. It will create a better article. But this is your draft, and I can only advise. I do not re-revoew very often. More yes provide you with better feedback, so continue to improve the draft and resubmit it as often as you need to gain more feedback. Fiddle Faddle 10:44, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Timtrent: In any case mr Tim I would like to thank you for your time and support. If you could provide me with some additional feedback it would be wonderful.

12:38:08, 7 May 2015 review of submission by Fuddyb88


Hey. I need a re-review on the previous draft because Architect Reza Kabul is one of India's prominent architects especially in the high-rise and hospitality sector.

The idea of having his work online is not as advertisement. I am working on the changes that you have suggested. I shall resubmit my draft after finding more references and citations.

However, I do have a question in mind : a page with far less references and citation is allowed : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafeez_Contractor

Therefore I would want to understand whether the advertisement looking format was the only reason for denial?

Appreciate your patience.

Thanks. Fuddyb88 (talk) 12:38, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dcw2003

I have two quick issues TimTrent. I want to know how to run the process (bot?) that does auto citations, or in other words references multiple citations of the same exact source to a single reference number rather than sucessive numbers.

Two, I am looking for user PHRSE, is there a way to search for a user in order to talk with him? Thanks!!!

Previous request was from dcw2003

@Dcw2003: Not hard, I'm pleased to say. First reFill:
I have it in my tools in the left hand menu. It arrived one day, so I imagine you have it too. I run it this way:
  1. click options
  2. when they load, and sometimes they refuse, untick the option for not adding access date
  3. Click run, or fix page
  4. WAIT
  5. Eventually, when it finishes, follow the prompts and be amazed.
Not sure? Create a sandbox and try it out
Ok, now that user. I tried the searches and failed. So we track them down by working out where you have seen them before. If that fails you deploy {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask the question. A handy soul will be along to help in a shorter time than you might expect. Fiddle Faddle 18:24, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

06:08:51, 8 May 2015 review of submission by Juamari


Juamari (talk) 06:08, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Reviewer--

I am asking for clarification on the comments provided. The topic of the article itself is well referenced by several university press books and established academic articles. While the topic is focused on the Latino LGBT community, it is also of interest to other LGBT groups, AIDS historians; public health professionals. The primary objection seems to be with the People's section. The people section is included because this organization was the launching pad for several important academics, artists and activists, some of which have wikipedia pages, and some of which do not. I am interested in editing further and want advise on what would strengthen the article-- should I secure more references for the individuals cited in the People's section, or simply delete that, even though I think it provides important linages, or list fewer names with more established reputations? Please advise, I think this is a worth contribution that merit inclusion.

06:08, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

@Juamari: I would drop the People section entirely. Notability is never inherited. And I would seek online links to the other references if available. And please do not let it linger for 6 months. Fiddle Faddle 08:18, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 14:52:27, 8 May 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Steve Last


Dear Jim

Thank you for reviewing my article, which I have to admit was submitted more in hope than expectation that a first version would be acceptable! I hope to be able to resubmit a shorter version on lines which you will find are more in accordance with Wiki principles. I would however like your advice about one aspect of meeting that requirement. While you may have detected that I do have a personal view on the subject, I appreciate the need for verifiability and objectivity etc. in Wikipedia.

My problem is that the basic issue is one with significant public safety aspects. For a number of reasons I won't bore you with it may start to generate significant attention, but a large amount of the basic research on the subject has been in danger of getting lost. Consequently I have spent a lot of the last year tracking down old papers, many of which are not in a particularly useful format, being either poor photocopies, or simply images of old documents, which are hard to read as well as impossible to search.

A lot of these I have re-scanned, OCR'd, and proofed, while being very careful not to edit any text other than for spelling etc. I've then republished them as PDFs, which are available on a website dedicated to this subject. Everything done from online sources is clearly in the public domain since I found it just by searching; the originals of all paper sources are in my possession.

So you can see that it is important to me that readers are definitely able to verify statements made on this subject, as I do not want to just quote from sources but make them available in their entirety, far more easily than they are at present. However, these new PDFs can only be accessed from my own site.

So before I spend a lot of time rewriting the article, my questions are whether

(1) the conversion of original sources into a more accessible format counts as "Original research" ?

(2) does the fact that anyone wanting to access these more usable versions will have to go to via my own website invalidate them as reliable references for wikipedia purposes? Obviously they should still be available on their original site as well.

You can see the site at www.picma.org.uk where one of the main menu items is actually "available documents". The lists are incomplete as I still have several hundred to annotate for relevance.

Steve Last (talk) 14:52, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Steve Last: The thing is, Wikipedia handles only matters reported on in WP:RS because it's an encyclopaedia. Your thoughts are more for Flight magazine. What I suggest you do is to ask this question in a very condensed manner at the Teahouse Questions Forum and get a wider set of opinions by doing so.
With regard to old papers, etc, provided you have chapter and verse, they are fine, but note what we need as a reference: We require references from significant coverage about the topic of the article, and independent of it, and in WP:RS please. See WP:42. So, if they comply with that, fine. If they are internal airline reports then they are of no use. Fiddle Faddle 15:01, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How about a HEADING?

Hi Timtrent,

Thanks for looking at my article. I've removed the inline links and I would like to draw your attention to the three links to CTV, Macleans and the Globe and Mail. These are three major Canadian news sources. The articles themselves speak of David's teaching and reference the Pro Actor's Lab itself. I think that this is notability.

Regarding your message in my Talk Page (2)

Timrent, I'm trying to understand what, in your opinion, is wrong with the presentation of the historical material in my draft. I'm not discussing a philosophical topic like "What is truth?" There one would have to write "According to Aristotle...", "In Platon's view...", "Luther is of the opinion...", "Calvin thought..." The article deals with history. Its language is the language historians use. The sentence which supposedly does not record but analyse the historical material is not isolated. It is followed by a few other sentences, and then a Reference (Heinrich Bornkamm...) This reference (or citation) indicates that the historical facts in the preceding sentences have been taken over from an encyclopedic article by historian Heinrich Bornkamm in "Die Religion in Geschichte und Gegenwart" ... (By the way, the academic standard of RGG equals that of Encyclopedia Britannica.) He analysed a mass of historical data and condensed the relevant facts into a few sentences. So there was analysis. But it is not mine, but that of an outstanding expert in the fields of church and general history. If I added "According to historian Heinrich Bornkamm, ..." this would be redundant, as Bornkamm is mentioned in the Reference. Reduncancy is the last thing an encyclopedic article should have. But of course, it would be possible to introduce Bornkamm to the reader of he article. I'll do that in the passage "Definition", where I refer to Bornkamm for the first time. As I said, I use the language historians use. A few examples from wi:en. In the article on Martin Luther King, time and again one, two or more sentences about King's life and activities are followed by a citation. In the article "English Civil War" the chapter "Parliament in the English constitutional framework" consists of 16 lines that have a single citation at the end. Nowhere is there any "According to ..." Nevertheless, I will do what you ask me to do. Just tell me. Speahlman (talk) 18:56, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Speahlman: Before we travel the road of what I want, let's take me out of the equation. Ask at the Articles For Creation Help desk for a further set of eyes on your draft to ensure both that I am correct (or not) and that you understand what is needed. I am perfectly content to be shown to be incorrect. How does that sit with you? Fiddle Faddle 19:13, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do use headings!

Hi Timtrent. Thank you for your helpful comments on my article. Can you let me know how I did? I cleaned up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:RXR_Realty,_LLC — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haneedesigns (talkcontribs) 19:15, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Haneedesigns: What I think will serve you better is for you to resubmit the draft for review. That way you will get a new pair of eyes, something that always works better than the old set. Fiddle Faddle 19:19, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I do appreciate your help.

Hello, I do appreciate your help and apologize for all the back and forth. Would you please take a look at the page and let me know if the references are how they need to be or if I need to do the differently? Thank you DMRRT (talk) 23:55, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have run out of enthusiasm and interest in this article and in trying to help you, and have found that we have a different definition of dialogue, you and I. You have all the information you need in order to make your references as compliant with our requirements as you can. Even with excellence of referencing I doubt the article will be retained. If you need help please ask someone else. I have laboured with you long enough without your reaching any form of understanding. Doing what one has always done and expecting different results is the act of a fool. I am not a fool. Fiddle Faddle 06:30, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good work

with our angry AfD commentator. I left a note also. DGG ( talk ) 00:07, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks DGG. When one gets to the point that they cannot hear what is said, after a while one cuts one's losses. All I can say is "I tried". I note they have asked for more help in the thread just above this, yet they have enough information and rehashing the same material, at least by me, is likely to be fruitless. The AFD has a few more days to run. I think there is a probability that the article will be deleted. I think the work they are putting in is huge, but in the wrong direction. Truly less is more here. Who knows, they may even have followed my advice and edited it down!
If you have a few pointers for them they might be able to hear a different voice, but it's a lot to ask of you. I very nearly asked you to join in with your aptitude for cutting to the chase over academics and referencing but thought you would probably see it anyway.

Of course, you might have meant the other one! Isn't the written word wonderful when it can be interpreted in the way one decides rather than the way it is meant! Fiddle Faddle 06:34, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
don't count on my seeing things. I go back and forth between many different things, so what I notice is often accidental. Just Ping. It is always hard to tell who might actually respond, but I do not think that they are open to listening to anyone. But since you ask, I will give it a try.

iServer proposed deletion

Hi there,

My apologies for deleting the Article-for-deletion notice - this was accidental when I made the article title a lower case template. iServer is a product developed by Orbus Software, whose page was recently deleted. Could this be why the iServer page is now being flagged for lack of notability? The iServer page was flagged right after the Orbus Software page was deleted so I'm just trying to understand a bit better the problems with this page

Many thanks in advance
