Entertainment

Why was my page deleted while I was still editing it? Hello, I am new to Wikipedia and was trying to teach my self how to use it when I spent 6 house working on it just to have it deleted while I was still editing it? I am an entertainer just like all of the other entertainers on Wikipedia so if my page violates the rules then theirs should be removed also. Please explain... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tempastwulf (talk • contribs) 12:44, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

I was in the middle of editing it the way that was requested of me. I am not a computer person so it was taking me longer then most people I guess. The question was not just "why did you delete" The rest of that was "while I was editing" There should be a time limit of 48 hours from the time the speedy request was done until it is deleted. giving the person ample time to make corrections. Not just a "I deleted it fuck you I am old and don't give a shit response." There needs to be a middle ground for people learning how to use this outdated, non user-friendly system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tempastwolf (talk • contribs) --23:27, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello, how can I send you a link to something that was deleted? I was in the middle of correcting my mistakes in my sandbox when it was deleted. Now I can not access the information. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tempastwulf (talk • contribs)

  • No wonder you find Wikipedia difficult if you cannot answer the simple question "what did the deletion log entry say". But I will not pursue that any more.
Your fallacy lies in "just like all of the other entertainers". No! Not all entertainers are the same and hence you cannot be just like all of them. Your page was a blatant piece of self-promotion. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no CoI thinks you are notable and writes about you here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 07:45, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of Cairo contemporary dance center

Dear RHaworth, I was really surprised to realize that you apparently took the unilateral decision to delete an article that I created on Cairo contemporary dance center, under the pretext that it is, according to your only personal judgement advertising.

Cairo contemporary dance center is a non-profit organization and educational institution, exactly like Julliard school or London Contemporary Dance school, among other that already have Wikipedia pages. It is one of the main actors of the Egyptian independent contemporary art scene, and probably the more consistent, with Townhouse gallery . It organizes and participates to many important cultural events here in Cairo, among them Downtown Contemporary Arts Festival D-CAF . Many important local and international choreographers and dancers have come in the center to teach, work, or rehearse, and most - if not all - the current Egyptian contemporary dancers are actually graduated from that school, or attended classes and workshops there.

I would like to know what entitled you to delete this page without warning, putting back in the unknown one of the most important independent cultural center in Egypt. I would like this page to come back, as I am sure that many people would benefit from it, and would be happy to know that this kind of organization exist in Egypt (specially that it's the only contemporary dance school in Africa and the Arab world, that alone should be sufficient to be mentioned in wikipedia...) Looking forward to your reply, Best, Taha Radi — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taha.Radi (talk • contribs) 16:59, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

So two people who don't know anything about it can decide that this is not notable?? Who told you I have a CoI there? It seems that you could have a CoI for deleting this article... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taha.Radi (talk • contribs) 14:01, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

  • People who don't know anything about its subject are the best people to assess an article. It is the job of the creator of an article to provide evidence of its subject's notability. See this note to explain why I think you have a CoI. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 07:45, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

And how am I supposed to prove this if you delete the articles? I had almost 20 references, links to other people or organizations that already have pages on wikipedia. And I already explained why this organization IS notable - first contemporary dance school in Africa and the Arab world, one of the 3 major actors in the contemporary art scene in Egypt - whether you like it or not. Maybe you know better than me what is notable in this country or not.... And by the way this might be my first article in English, but I already created many articles in Arabic - but probably this is not notable enough for you. After all who cares about what's going on in the Arab world right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taha.Radi (talk • contribs) 09:29, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Re-submitted. Will appreciate your support. Thanks. Taha.Radi (talk) 20:04, 28 December 2016 (UTC)Taha.Radi

Emergency

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place but I don't know how else to contact you. I'm working with my students to teach them how to edit Wikiedia and you've deleted one of my student's articles before she even submitted it: Draft:Emerging Global Model (EGM) University. First, I don't understand why you would delete a draft article when you could just refuse to publish the article once it has been fully drafted and submitted. Second and much more important, could you please restore the article so I can review it and teach the student what she did wrong? Right now all I can do is say "I'm sorry that some Wikipedia person deleted your article" and give her 100%, since of course I can't mark her down on your say-so. Plus there's no learning experience in just having your work wiped clean. If you could restore the article ASAP that would be much appreciated, since I have to submit grades tonight. Thanks -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbabones (talk • contribs) 16:49, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Salvatore — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbabones (talk • contribs) 16:45, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

  • "Don't know how to contact"! That is tragick. You as the tutor should be confidently telling your students how to contact another user. You should be telling them that a message must be at the bottom of the page with a == heading (there is a "new message" tab - or possibly just a + sign - at the top of the page to help you do that). It must contain a correct wikilink to the article about which you are talking and it must be signed with ~~~~ . Email addresses should never be given - why do we have an "email this user facility"?
As to your enquiry: read this. If you had actually bothered to look at the deletion reason, you probably would not have needed to contact me. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:17, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

I see the reason, but I don't understand why you would do this to a draft article instead of doing it at the time of submission for review. Why delete an article that hasn't been submitted for review? And obviously now I can't grade the student's work or penalize the student for plagiarism, since obviously I can't do so on your say-so. I also can't teach the student what she should have done differently. Many active Wikipedians encourage occasional Wikipedians to practice, develop their skills, and encourage new users to join. If you don't want the public to participate to the best of their ability, you should just put a "public not welcome" sign on the Wikipedia homepage.

(talk page stalker) Although drafts are not in articlespace, they are still 'live'. For legal reasons, any copyrighted content is removed per our policy on copyright violations. My advice would be to give your student zero. -- Launchballer 21:43, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
  • You claim to have seen the reason but I would be reassured if you repeated it back to me as my "moan" requested. Surely you will agree that a copyvio is a copyvio wherever it appears? Two states of the article emailed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:54, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) A little civility please, RHaworth. Sbabones is clearly not a wiki expert, but he is trying to help, and he asked you politely for help, and your tone (tragick, bothered, moan) is immature at best. It is totally possible to explain WP:BOTTOMPOSTING, WP:EMAIL and such in a constructive fashion, without being condescending. An admin should keep in mind things like WP:BITE, not to mention the cited WP:CIV. Please consider being polite next time. PS. User:Sbabones Since I believe you got your requested email, I will just aplogize on behalf of the Wikipedia community for the not-so-courteous tone you have been treated to. I hope you understand that Wikipedia does not have a professional customer service, instead what we often are are unpaid, overworked volunteers, who sometimes forget about little things like being civil. Please rest confident that many - I hope most - volunteers here appreciate that you are trying to teach your students about Wikipedia and have them contribute to this site. Once again, my sincerest apologies that your request was not treated in a polite fashion as it should be given our guidelines. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:18, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Don't. (t) Josve05a (c) 23:44, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

  • Josve05a, after six years of contributing you should have learnt of the WP:FAKEARTICLE rule. Also, where did I say it was a copyvio? Will you please accept this state of the article which is a copy of this state by Mr. Bones? If you insist on reverting to the third person version, I shall take the article to MfD which is a pointless activity. Please explain why you think the third person version was not a blatant fake article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 01:09, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

While it may not mention the word "Wikipedia", it is still "backinfo" about a user and his qualifications of his edits etc. If he added "I skilled within these topics [current text] therefore I am editng about it on Wikipedia." THen it would be fine. You can just look at it and say "No", you must apply it as if it was a normal userpage. The user isn't using it as a fake article, but as a presentation of himself in third person. "A small and proportionate amount of suitable unrelated material" is allowed, and six lines of back story about a long-time editor is in my book compleatly reasonable. (t) Josve05a (c) 01:18, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Also, the copyvio comment was my own, since the text was found elsewhere online by me, and I just wanted to confirm that the user is the copyright owner of the text, not a comment towards you. (t) Josve05a (c) 01:22, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Also, not "rule", but "guideline". And as you most likely know WP:IAR. (t) Josve05a (c) 01:25, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Seconded trout, what's your problem here, RHaworth? Also, you realize this person alread has an article (Salvatore Babones)? Here you are helping to create another academic, who tried to contribute to Wikipedia, and now it is a good chance he will tell stories how he was rudely treated by some anonymous volunteers. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:32, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Ueda

Hello RHaworth Thanks for checking the Ueda Mondonokami Shigeyasu (Sōko) page. The supposed copyright infringement is not valid. The text in the webpage Ueda Sōko - the man is my own. I also referenced it in the references. All this was noted in a note disputing the proposal for quick deletion. If I am still in the wrong, I would like to know why and what I can do to get the page up again.

Draft deleted

Hello Mr Haworth,

You deleted the draft page on European Expertise & Expert Institute. I was just working in order to improve references as asked by the reviewer. Note that it's only a translation from an article published on the French Wikipedia edition. This French article has been reviewed and accepted by the French wikipedia team after discussion. Could you recreate the draft article in order we can improve it if necessary. Thanks a lot for your help. MOR365 (talk) 17:11, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

MOR365 First, it's clear you have COI here so you cannot advertise your own company, exactly what RHaworth will say. Next, the sheer blatancy of Advertising was eminent in that Draft and those are never restored. SwisterTwister talk 18:32, 21 December 2016 (UTC)

SwisterTwister I understand what you say but I don't understand how I can have COI about a non-profit association. It's not a company and I'm not an employee nor a shareholder. — MOR365 (talk) 13:06, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Code for All was deleted

Hi, You recently deleted a new article that I created called Code for All because it seemed like "unambiguous advertising" that "promotes a company, product, group, service or person." However, I simply wrote it based on an existing article called Code for America. Code for America is a branch of Code for All, and I believe it should not be deleted. I think I at least deserve a clear reason as to why it seemed like unambiguous advertising and how I could improve it. Here is the link to the deleted article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jinnayang#Speedy_deletion_nomination_of_Code_for_All — Jinnayang (talk) 02:04, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Hi Jinnayang. I see you have gone and re-created the article at Code for All before RHaworth could respond. If you're going simply recreate the article within five minutes of asking why it was deleted, then there's really no point in asking in the first place, is there? Basically, what you've written reads like a promotional piece for the organization and you have provided no sources to multiple independent reliable sources which shows that the company has received the significant coverage required by Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). The purpose of Wikipedia is not to promote an organization or to tell the world about all the great things it might be doing; Wikipedia is not interested in what the organization has to say about itself, but rather what independent reliable sources have to say about it. If the organization has yet to receive significant coverage in reliable sources, then maybe it's too soon for a Wikipedia article to be written about it. As you can see, your recreation has already been tagged with various templates indicating this and unless you work on fixing these issues, the article is likely to be delete once again. Also, if you have any connection at all to this organization, please read Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide for reference. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:46, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

List of Shortland Street characters (2016)

Hi RHaworth, I was wondering why in particular List of Shortland Street characters (2016) was deleted, citing that it duplicates an existing topic Current Shortland Street Characters. It does not, as that page lists current cast members whereas the other lists new characters introduced in 2016. A page exists for each previous year (List of Shortland Street Characters 1992-2015), so I'm not sure why the 2016 page has been deleted. I was advised by another user to submit a DRV, but read I should consult the member who had the page deleted, to see if it could be resolved. — Michaeljefford (talk) 18:56, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Deleted article

Hello, I recently created a page as a school assignment that was taken down a few days after it was created. My professor didn't get to see and grade it and I don't have a copy saved.

My RedVoice, LLC user page deletion

I'm writing to see if you can restore my user page RedVoice, LLC page. The article that I had written was deleted, but the editor who did the deletion placed the page on my user talk page so that it could be edited, enhanced, and added in the future. As I went today to access it, I found that you had deleted it. However this is a user page, not a Wikipedia page, and I had been told to keep it there by Wikipedia's editors, which I had done.

Deletion of "Fab Lab Connect" Wiki Draft

Dear RHaworth, I am writing to you regarding the draft wikipedia page for Fab Lab Connect that you recently deleted (at 12:19 on 14 December, 2016). The reason cited for its deletion was "unambiguous advertising or promotion." I wanted to know how the page appeared to be unambiguous promoting. It's my first attempt at a post as a Wikipedia editor so I want to learn what may have gone wrong!

The first editor, "Sandgem Addict," to review my page had indicated that I needed to include more reliable sources in order for the page to be approved; in response to this suggestion I found additional external sources such as books and newspaper articles. Should I have included other sorts of sources? I also want to stress that Fab Lab Connect is a non-profit organization that specializes in the education sector.

Please let me know what you think, as I would value your feedback, and would love to make the appropriate edits so that the page will be eventually posted. — Itsmeoscar (talk) 18:14, 27 December 2016 (UTC) Itsmeoscar

Looking in, the page at Draft:Fab Lab Connect was clear advertising complete with something in their own commercial advertisements and it's safe to say this is not the place for such company-hosted advertising. Our policies explicitly state that, regardless of needing to add other sources, any advertising materials can be removed on sight. — SwisterTwister talk 04:44, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Great, thank you very much for your feedback. Would it be possible to have the draft restored so that I can go about making the appropriate changes and cut out all advertising materials? Thank you! Itsmeoscar (talk) 19:24, 3 January 2017 (UTC)Itsmeoscar

Dear RHaworth, My name is Mihaela Rusu and I've created the page of draft:The European Society for Artificial Organs (ESAO), which apparently has been deleted. I am in the pioneer phase of creating and posting files in the Wikipedia. Therefore, I would be very grateful to have your kind support to help me re-loading and posting back the web-page. Worthy to be mentioned that the ESAO webpage is profiled in similar way as the European Renal Association – European Dialysis and Transplant Association.

  • Cloudbound, you created the mainspace version as a new article and then requested deletion of the draft. This was wrong because it threw away the information about previous editors (we call it attribution). OK, not important in this case but the principle needs to be learnt. Situation now rectified. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:22, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
    • Not strictly true, hence why I did that. There was so little in the mainspace version that you restored that I started my own from scratch. The page you have deleted is exactly as it was when you restored it. Cloudbound (talk) 19:29, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Mapmechanics

Hi, I was trying to create a page for Mapmechanics and it was deleted after a few hours. I had only just started and am not sure what to do now. the reason given was that it was not "notable", but given that I had only just started the page, I had not enough of a chance to put in the information to show that it is notable. what should I do? Thanks, Chris — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cdgillie (talk • contribs) 13:02, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

  • Stalking this talk page @Cdgillie: You were given advice on the talk page of the article in question, that stated you should copy the article to your Sandbox and continue to work on it there. I "pinged" you in the comment, exactly like I have in this comment, and you chose not to reply. I did warn you that the article was eligible for Speedy Deletion and that the deletion would happen without warning. I'm not sure what else can be said to you.

I don't know about pinging, what is that? also whan I try to reply here unless I do it v quickly my edits get lost as the page is already out of date. — Cdgillie (talk) 14:07, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

I keep trying to use the sandbox but even that is getting deleted. — Cdgillie (talk) 14:07, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Mario Lino

Page Deleted: Hello Dear RHaworth, my name is Mario I am a former journalist and a co-founder of a new mobile media platform called FreeCalls4U. I am new to editing in Wikipedia, something in which I understand you are an expert in. I was trying to create a page - and I found out that there was none - for FreeCalls4U. Then, it was deleted. I know that Wikipedia is not supposed to be a commercial-oriented display for companies. Yet, being a former journalist myself - and journalists need to clearly separate public info from advertising I can also understand there are grey areas between public awareness and advertising a brand. So why would this case deserve 1 minute of your attention? Because this is something new and unique. We're not doing just another soda, changing the colour and giving it a catchy name. We - myself and my partner - have created the first platform of its kind in Africa: a person watches an advert and gets rewarded directly by engaging. With no charge whatsoever to the user. That's why it's called FreeCalls4U. A bit obvious, as it should.

Looking at the Coca Cola examples or beers, they are also commercial brands, and so is Kit Kat. I know you are trying to protect Wikipedia from having litter, and avoiding creating exceptions that would open the Pandora box. But there is no competitor to this, at the moment, in the world. Not that we know of. You can - and if you don't mind me saying, should - research to check if what I am saying is true. I believe you consider yourself a Guardian of Wiki, which is good. But you should not prevent people from having access to information on new/distinctive ideas/concepts/solutions. But I could be wrong. Thank you for your time, Mario Lino — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mari0linux (talk • contribs)

Deletion Abstraction Games

Could you please explain to me why the Abstraction Games page was deleted so fast? I've added all kinds of nonbiased references, and this company is linked to in the following existing wiki articles as game developer;

Hotline Miami Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number Double Dragon Neon Bloodrayne: Betrayal Kick and Fennick Potpourrii

I've seen game developers with much less of a track record with articles on this site, so this developer is at least as noteworthy. Also, this company together with Studio Wildcard were the first to put a game on early access on the PS4 Article about early access on PS4 Thanks in advance, TimbiWan (talk) 15:39, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Deletion: Teacher Educator

Hi. I see that there was a potential copyright infringement in one section of my draft article. In order that I can re-work it to avoid the infringement, please can you restore it in a place where I can rework it? Thanks. Holdspa (talk) 08:23, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

YouTube

You deleted List of YouTube Channels with 1 Million Subscribers or More. Without warning because some NPpatroller marked it for speedy deletion. I contested it, and explained why I created the article, but got no response. And I can't provide a link to it, because IT IS DELETED. If there is no point in contesting and discussion, how many times to I have to make an article before it is accepted? I don't understand. — L3X1 (talk) 12:44, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

  • If you really must, try again in draft space but bear in mind that it will stand no chance of success until the majority of the entries are blue wikilinks and all entries are references. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:22, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the advice, however, this is the same problem we have been having with all YT related Wiki articles. Most of the entries would just be stubs saying "has X subs, founded in Y, and produces Z". The other YouTube related articles on Wikipedia don't do this. Not notable YTers, not Top 50. This is why I put forth the List as a cure-all. I'll continue to talk about it with the other people on the [[3]] and maybe we can work something out. Thanks for your time, L3X1 (talk) 22:04, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
