Birol Güven

Hi Jimfbleak, You have deleted the page Birol Güven created by User:Ertanguvenn. (2 June ) In the deletion log it reads advertising. Well, this person happens to be a notable man. Howr can a new (and of course non advertising) page may be created ? Thanks. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 11:32, 17 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please undelete Emma Marcegaglia

I'm not sure what's going on with this article; I believe I declined a speedy on it recently. According to the Italian wiki article,[1] she's the president of a notable university, which is more than enought to defeat A7, and there are other substantial claims of significance.

Sublight Records deletion

Please revisit the deletion of Sublight Records. This article was tagged by a SPA with an apparent vendetta, and while I don't remember the article well it's hard for me to believe it was mere promotion after all of this time. The article does have a long history, including a merge back in 2011. Thanks. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 13:54, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see many other articles tagged by Truthbetold123222 (talk · contribs) have been deleted. Please revisit these also. Thanks. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 13:58, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, what's the deal with the deletion frenzy yesterday with all the established electronic artists? If you think all those articles were (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion), then by the same logic you may as well delete every other musician's article and discographies as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StuOnThis (talk • contribs) 14:04, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Uncle Milty, Torchiest, JohnBlackburne, I did read the articles, not just rely on the tagging (at least one criterion confused faulty infobox formatting with nonsense). As always, I'm happy to accept comments from GF editors that I may have got it wrong, both restored now Jimfbleak - talk to me? 17:25, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thirded. The deletion of a slew of electronic artist pages, labels, albums pages, etc is unwarranted.

Venetian Snares deletion

Hi there. I saw you deleted this article as G11. I believe that may have been a mistake, as the article had been around for more than a decade, and had perhaps half a dozen reliable sources, and there are dozens of releases by the band with articles. Looking at an archived copy of the article, I see how it has some peacock language, but it doesn't seem to be solely promotional in content. Could you restore the article, so that I can do some work on it and remove the hyped-up language? Thanks for your help. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 14:16, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded as I’m here for the same reason. The topic is a real, notable artist with a significant body of work. As with many artist articles it might have attracted fans keen to lavish the subject with praise, but that is not a reason for deletion, but for cleanup. Given the interest here in the subject it should not take long for it to be cleaned up.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 16:20, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thirded. There was no valid reason to delete this article.

Alphabasic_Records deletion and related articles

Hi, I'm here to contest a slew of deletions regarding Alphabasic_Records and surrounding albums. (many appearing under Benn_Jordan#Discography. This whole issue has arisen due to a handful of users (or one user under multiple aliases): Musicchief007, Truthbetold123222 and 88.194.149.117, with a personal vendetta against certain members of the electronica music scene.

After several failed attempt at vandalizing Benn_Jordan (seen in their contributions page), they began a campaign of spamming moderators of this community to delete articles surrounding them. While they succeeded in inciting a nomination to delete the article. There's been a tremendous backlash from the community and a ton of supporting evidence to demonstrate their notability which will likely result in the nomination being dropped and hopefully in the article being protected against further vandalism.

They have, however, apparently succeeded in inciting mods to delete some of the surrounding articles which have not been as fleshed out yet. Hopefully the evidence that these users (reported here) are vandals is sufficient to end this campaign against these articles and allow them to be properly fleshed out, since notability takes more effort to establish in a genre of music that is not as dominated by major labels as many of the others.
Alainbryden (talk) 16:15, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Followup - note that the user who incited you to delete all those articles is being investigated here: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Musicchief007. Hopefully this is helpful in resolving the issue.

I've gone to some effort to attempt to track down some of the pages that were too-hastily deleted. These are the ones I've found, but you'd know better than me what the set of pages was, and hopefully you can help us restore them (and their talk pages) again:

Replied on user talk page. declining restoration for now due to issues with notability and spamming (links to sales sites instead of refs) Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:08, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see where you're coming from. As someone unfamiliar with the genre and with the world of self-published music and small-time labels, it's very difficult to distinguish between apparent promotional material, and simply linking to the original proof that these albums exist (which are necessarily the very sites that sell the albums).

Could you instead restore the articles with a {{{{AfDM}}}} template and open up a Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion page for each like what's been done for Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sublight_Records and a couple other pages now contested due to this recent activity? They may not look like much, but these are actually incredibly popular records in the electronica music scene, many of which have hit the #1 charts on music torrenting sites like What.CD - which are understandably hard to use as evidence as they compete with the for-profit music distribution organizations that are used to establish notability among so many other genres. (For what it's worth, if you don't have an account, here's a screen shot showing that one of the above deleted albums is the 22nd most downloaded album of all time on popular site What.CD, which is an astonishing achievement for an artist who is unpromoted and on a self-publishing label.)

One anonymous poster on The Flashbulb's discussion page has put it quite well: "...the added complexity of an artist that prefers not to do many mainstream interviews. Both his | Chicago Tribune and aforementioned Sun Times pieces took the cover of the weekend editions of 2 very mainstream media sources. It cannot be linked directly, but even his Spotify plays/rankings for his top songs double and triple similar artists who are friendlier with the media like Squarepusher or Venetian Snares. If we're erasing a decade of users' work creating this page, then we should be removing a lot of other well-known electronic artists from Wikipedia under this precedent. If the content of the page is weak, then update it. But removing a page of an artist with millions of music streams and Youtube views, let alone 20-something physical albums is just going to continue this troll's cat and mouse game."

I believe that there's not enough justification right now to unilaterally delete all of these pages without further discussion at this point. I'm sure if the pages aren't sufficiently fleshed out there will be renewed efforts in the community to add the required reference material with the threat of deletion looming, but this is impossible to do without being able to edit the old articles or their talk pages, or even view their history.

Draft:Kian Lawley

Hey Jim, I wondered if you could look at the currently locked Kian Lawley and see if the current draft is acceptable enough to be moved to mainspace (draft seems to satisfy applicable entertainers notability guidelines). Cheers as always! SwisterTwister talk 05:31, 24 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Need your guidance on creating a page for Komal Jha - Actress

Hello There !

I am Chinth - a hobby content contributor for both computer technical and entertainment related contents.

I would like to contribute to an article on Komal Jha - Actress, who has acted in some regional movies in India. I went through your speedy deletion comments and I understand that some writers in the past have contributed biased contents on the article. I wasn't getting the point of speedy deletion and hence I had commented too. I would want to create a neutral information page on the same personality with the due references to the fact files based on popular news papers or legitimately popular articles, which are published since a few years. I believe it makes a candidate for encyclopedic content. Still, since I am fairly new contributor to the Wikipedia, I want a little of expert guidance. Could you please help out in this regard?

Thanks Ch.th (talk) 19:11, 28 December 2015 (UTC) Chinth[reply]
