The Mediation Committee has been disbanded as a result of this discussion.
Other dispute resolution processes should be used for content issues.

Shortcuts

The Mediation Committee was a panel of editors who resolved content disputes on Wikipedia articles by providing formal mediation. The Mediation Committee was established with the Arbitration Committee in 2003 by Jimmy Wales and was the last stage of content dispute resolution on the English Wikipedia. Mediation was entered into voluntarily by the parties to the dispute and did not result in binding resolutions. The Mediation Committee policy documented how the Mediation Committee, its mediators, and the formal mediation process operated. This policy was maintained by the Committee and was considered an authoritative codification of how Committee matters should be conducted.

After a substantial period of inactivity, the Mediation Committee was shut down by community consensus on 12 November 2018.

Expectations (Bebe Rexha album)

Hi AA. Can you please protect Expectations (Bebe Rexha album) from being recreated? I would tag it but I assume you are the admin who would be deleting it anyway. There has been no further development on what type of release it is by the artist (it could be a song for all anybody knows), and there is no confirmation it will even be released. It appears users like Jax 0677 and Another Believer have assumed what it is to get the jump on everybody in creating the article. I see Jax left you a message saying "please send it through AfD before deleting again", but redirects don't go through AfD anyway and I don't see why it would need to go through RfD when it's WP:OR to assume what it is in the first place. I am sure the artist, if it were an album, would have said "my album is coming out soon". Instead, she has stated "project". That could mean anything—it could be an art installation. Jax has also created Expectations (EP)—he himself doesn't even know. It's just a guessing game by editors at this point. If Jax 0677 is so concerned, he can ask after it's confirmed what it is to restore the page history. Ss112 15:06, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

@Ss112: I have set Expectations (Bebe Rexha album) to "only administrators can edit it". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 00:14, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Thank you but I meant can it be deleted along with the EP namespace Expectations (EP) I linked to and then prevented from being recreated? These editors have no idea what type of release it is. As I said, it could be anything and editors are inventing terms to apply to it. If they are concerned, surely they can apply after it is confirmed what it is to have the page history restored. Ss112 01:26, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

@Ss112: I have deleted it. As regards protecting it against re-creation, I found a pointer to a rule in Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection, and I would prefer advice about what I am allowed to do and what not in protecting a deleted page-name against re-creation. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:48, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

But the user will recreate it because they believe it's an album. It's happened several times now. Also, you may have missed above, the user also created Expectations (EP)—can you please delete that as well? I don't know what rule you're referring to, but the page has been deleted several times now. There has been no further news on if it's an album or not. If you do protect it, when it is confirmed as an album, then I don't see why a user can't just message you and ask for it to be unprotected with an official source stating such. Ss112 05:54, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

@Ss112: I have now deleted page Expectations (EP). But see above about the rule described in Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection, which I have come across. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:57, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

I don't see anything in WP:ECP that says you can't protect a page from being recreated after it's been deleted several times for the same reason. "Extended confirmed protection should not be used as a preemptive measure against disruption that has not yet occurred"—some kind of "disruption" has occurred. It's been recreated and deleted at least three times now. There's nothing to say the users won't do it again. Jax could recreate the article right now if he wanted to, and the reasons it was deleted would still apply. Protecting a page from being recreated by non-admins isn't the same thing as ECP, is it? Ss112 06:13, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

@Ss112: The two page-names have now been protected as asked. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:43, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

Baby / Master for kids

I have a doubt. In Baby Meenakshi, "Baby" is not her name, its a term of endearment used to call female child actors, likewise, for boys it is "Master". Is this naming correct ? If WP:COMMONNAME is taken, then Baby Meenakshi definitely scores. But, shouldn't it be Meenakshi (child actor) ? Didn't saw any guideline for this. Let There Be Sunshine (talk) 15:17, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

@Let There Be Sunshine: (I live in England.) What to call her may depend on how often she is called Baby Meenakshi and how often she is called anything else. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:55, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- Okay. Thanks. BTW, Chala (marketplace) you moved on December 23 is now moved to Chalai Market, which is again not a proper noun.

Cleaning up after moves

Anthony, I've asked you this before, but I'll repeat it. When you move a page, especially (but not exclusively) to redirect a title to a disambiguation page, please check "What links here". When you moved Ring Around the Moon earlier, you (a) did not edit the disambiguation page Rings Around the Moon, which still contained a link to the old title, and made the actual article about the Space:1999 episode unreachable; and (b) did not fix at least three redirects to the title you moved, Ring Around The Moon (Space: 1999), Ring Around The Moon (Space: 1999 episode), and Ring Around The Moon (Space 1999 episode), which all pointed to the disambiguation page instead of the episode article. As I know that you are a responsible admin, I'm sure it was not your intention to leave broken links like this, but hopefully this will serve as a reminder to be more thorough in completing page moves. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 12:46, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Anthony -- The page for Michael Demers (artist) was recently deleted. The remarks say content was taken from LinkedIn (probably a list of exhibitions?).

Dominionism

I think you've made a mistake with this rename. The current name was, I think, the result of a merge discussion - i.e. "Dominionism" was merged into "Dominion Theology", and so should not be moved without discussion. In any case, it means the talk page is broken - it says, "The content of Dominionism was merged into Dominionism on 6 September 2013..." St Anselm (talk) 07:49, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

@StAnselm: The merge between Dominionism and Dominion Theology was a text-merge (performed by User:Jfhutson in late August 2013‎), not a history-merge. The old version of Dominionism is now at Dominionism (version 2). Do you want me to move Dominionism back to Dominion Theology? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:40, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

Help!

In ictu oculi is in the habit of making unilateral moves without discussion, and without even explaining in the edit summary. I think one of the reasons he keeps doing this is because there are no consequences. I hope you agree such actions should be discouraged. One way to do this, I think, is to revert any such moves and thus force him to make the case for the move. That's why I posted the technical request as I did. WP:RM address this:

"If you disagree with such a move [moved without a discussion], and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons then you may request a technical move."

I suggest the correct course in these situation is not to challenge my technical request to revert an undiscussed move, but to grant the request (after all, I could have legitimately reverted if not for the technical limitation), and have the initial mover create an RM request per WP:RM. Thanks. --В²C ☎ 23:53, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

And you ☎ B2C are I'm afraid in the habit of not contributing to the encyclopaedia's content pages. What % of your edits over the last year have been actual improvements to content side - expanding and creating articles and navigation, adding graphics, adding sources? And what % of your edits have been arguing for your views on titling on Talk pages? or following editors as in this case? If I may be permitted a suggestion, perhaps you could find another editor to follow, or perhaps contribute to improving article content. Just a suggestion. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:58, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

@In ictu oculi and Born2cycle: Please, what is this dispute about? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:15, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

This dispute is about three things:

IIO moved Kolossus to Kolossus (album) without discussion, despite there being no other topics called "Kolossus" with articles on WP (an inherently controversial move which should go through RM). I was unable to revert it per BRD and RM due to technical limitations, so I had to make a technical request to revert. I mistakenly put my request to revert this undiscussed move at Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Contested_technical_requests instead of at the section specially designed for such requests at Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Requests_to_revert_undiscussed_moves. You apparently did not recognize that it was a request to revert an undiscussed move, and, instead of rubber stamping it and granting the revert request, you made it a formal RM at what is now Talk:Kolossus (album).
More importantly, IIO is in the habit of making these undiscussed moves quite frequently, moves that he knows are controversial and should go through RM, often doing so without even leaving explanation in the edit summary. His history is replete with examples of this. Many times I've requested he stop doing this over the years, to no avail. Suggestions?
IIO tries to deflect discussion of his problematic behavior by bringing up my low content-to-talk-page edit ratio, which is an obvious ad hominem red herring.

Those are the three things this dispute is about. --В²C ☎ 20:21, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

@In ictu oculi and Born2cycle: Kolossus (disambiguation) lists 5 things called Kolossus that Wikipedia describes. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:00, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
@In ictu oculi and Born2cycle: See Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves for instructions how to ask for a discussed page move. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:15, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Anthony, that's a brand new dab page just created by IIO with mostly dubious entries. Only one entry on that dab page, the album name, is clearly legit; it's the only topic listed there that is actually named Kolossus. All the others violate WP:PTM: ("A disambiguation page is not a search index. Do not add a link that merely contains part of the page title, or a link that includes the page title in a longer proper name, where there is no significant risk of confusion or reference. "). Note that Mega Shark vs. Kolossus is exactly "a link that includes the page title (Kolossus) in a longer proper name". This is why I wanted you to rubber-stamp revert in the first place. All these issues should all be sorted out first, in a discussion. Then, if consensus is established to disambiguate it, only then should it happen. Until then, his undiscussed unilateral and clearly controversial disambiguation move should be reverted.

IIO knows exactly how to request controversial and potentially controversial moves. He just often refuses to do it. I won't speculate why, because that would violate AGF. Anyway, what I requested - a revert of a page recently moved without discussion - is totally different, and even has a special section at WP:RM. Surely you know and understand this. --В²C ☎ 22:29, 24 January 2018 (UTC)'

Defence, Karachi Wikipedia article

Hi Anthony Appleyard (talk · contribs) I see that you reverted Defence, Karachi to Defence Housing Authority, Karachi. I'd like to take this minute to explain why I made the move. The term "Defence Housing Authority" is not the name of the locality...it's the name of the the governing body of that neighbourhood. This would be akin to saying that somebody from London lives in the London Metropolitan Corporation. It makes no sense...when I requested the move, the it was opposed by two members who seem to have an extreme personal vendetta against me. I would implore you to see this dilemma from a common sense point of view..."Defence Housing Authority, Karachi" is not the name of a locality. --PAKHIGHWAY (talk) 21:47, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Entry Deletion " Brian Cliette"

Hello Anthony Appleyard,

I see you recently voted to delete my wiki entry "Brian Cliette" for lack on nobility ,I think this was a mistake as he has over 7 media mentions and interviews in top online outlets ( entrepreneur.com, The Huffington Post, Business.com, Influencive.com..etc) you can see the following google news results for "Brian Cliette" in the link below https://www.google.com/search?biw=2560&bih=1366&tbm=nws&ei=oLN2WoTDHbDs5gLmvpSIBA&q=%22brian+cliette%22

@Anthony Appleyard:Those 7 were only the google news results from top tier news sites.

The google web results several hundred. Thanks for reviewing them. There are public figures on wikipedia that contain 1 meation from some of these sites and they are live and not deleted. Would you suggest a resubmitting the entry with updated references from entrepreneur.com, The Huffington Post, Business.com, Influencive.com ? I think the major issue before was 5 of the 7 references used were from Penn State, nor did the books authored by Brian in the entry contain ISBN

Again thanks for all of your help in this matter!

Histmerge

Please explain your hist-merge related to St Joseph's Primary School, Mysore.Thanks!~ Winged Blades^Godric 14:02, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

@Winged Blades of Godric: At 10:25, 6 February 2018 User:Winged Blades of Godric asked for a history-merge St. Joseph's High School, Mysore to St Joseph's Primary School, Mysore. St Joseph's Primary School, Mysore had only 2 edits, at 10:25, 6 February 2018 and 10:31, 6 February 2018, both by User:Winged Blades of Godric . But by then, the last user edit of St. Joseph's High School, Mysore was at 19:49, 6 February 2018 (plus a bot edit by AnomieBOT at 20:09, 6 February 2018‎), because User:Rms125a@hotmail.com had made 2 more edits, overtaking St Joseph's Primary School, Mysore. So I made a plain move. to avoid WP:Parallel histories.Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:26, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Redirect deletion request

Could you delete the redirect for Official Secrets (film)? I will be relocating a draft there within the month and wish to make sure this won't be an issue come time to move the draft into the mainspace. Thank you. Rusted AutoParts 22:04, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

@Rusted AutoParts: Done Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:54, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

I'll post this request here, to safe from making another new discussion thread. Could you delete the redirect for Greyhound (film)? I'll be moving a draft there shortly. Also it seems Official Secrets (film) was prematurely remade, so could you delete that redirect again too? Thank you. Rusted AutoParts 00:35, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

@Rusted AutoParts: Done I have deleted Greyhound (film). But Official Secrets (film) is not a plain redirect, but a long edit history and its last edit is a redirect. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:17, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

I see. Then could you merge the history of Draft:Official Secrets (film) into Official Secrets (film) so the edit history of the draft isn’t lost? Rusted AutoParts 07:39, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

@Largoplazo: It has not been deleted or undeleted that many times the usual way, only by moving all the edits in and out in the course of swopping two pages' names :: move A to Zxcvbnm, then B to A, then Zxcvbnm to B. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:57, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Theodore Roosevelt TR

Hi Anthony, hope all is well. I was about to decline the Theodore Roosevelt techinical requests, but had been using them as an example for why I was declining granting the page mover right: mainly because I don't think it is uncontroversial to swap two independent articles, and I'm not even entirely sure if it should be an RM or a merge discussion. Someone else also seems to have commented, so I think it might be best to discuss these. Thanks for all your work manning that desk. TonyBallioni (talk)

If there is a need for me to expand on my reasoning, just ask me. Artix Kreiger (talk) 05:30, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

@Artix Kreiger and TonyBallioni: Link: Theodore Roosevelt bibliography. In "Someone else also seems to have commented", please where are those comments? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:29, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi, Anthony: I think TonyBallioni is referrring to my comment (Permalink). But I believe you moved the page while I was commenting, so it wasn't your fault entirely. I went there first, but I tarried the move so as to check issues and found it is needless and will either break long standing consistency in this category or require all the pages in the category to be moved as well; and that should, of course, not be done without discussion preferably. Though, it seems he now started moving the remaining pages Special:Contribs/Artix Kreiger which are not blocked by redirect, but they are many in number and many have such redirects which will require another RMT requests. –Ammarpad (talk) 10:15, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

@Ammarpad:, Hey, I made that request simply because numerous other articles, not just in the category, are in the format of "NAME bibliography". Aside from the 2 I mentioned, you have examples of Peter F. Hamilton bibliography, George Orwell bibliography, etc. Also ping Tony Ballioni, where WP:BIBLIOGRAPHY will point to Wikipedia:WikiProject Bibliographies#Recommended_structure and says A bibliography of an author such as Mark Twain should be named Mark Twain bibliography.. Artix Kreiger (talk) 14:19, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

@Artix Kreiger: The articles in Category:Bibliographies of Presidents of the United States use consistent title before you requested the above move and before you moved the ones not blocked by redirect.
If you want move whole pages in category to align it with format recommended by Essay of WP:BIBLIOGRAPHY, that needs discussion.
Your request and the moves you performed now breaks their title consistency some were moved, one not.
And now I just understand that the former title (Bibliography of Theodore Roosevelt) is consistent with recommendation of the essay you cited above: It says Topical bibliographies where the topic is a person should be named: Bibliography of works on John Doe.. In that article, the works are about Theodore Roosevelt not by Theodore Roosevelt.
The current title Theodore Roosevelt bibliography should only be used for work written by Theodore Roosevelt himself.
Mark Twain bibliography contains Works written by Mark Twain not about him
So, generally the former title was correct and consistent throughout that category. You only misunderstood the essay. I suggest you should reread it again. Now the pages you moved must be moved back to their correct titles. –Ammarpad (talk) 14:47, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

moved it back since I made a mistake. Artix Kreiger (talk) 14:58, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

Nomination of Ibid Gallery for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Ibid Gallery is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ibid Gallery until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:14, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Tony Luke

@Let There Be Sunshine:, I believe as WP:COMMONNAME Tony Luke should be either moved to Tony Luke (actor) or back to Tony Luke Kocherry with the current Tony Luke page set as a disamg, I don't believe most people searching for Tony Luke are looking for this actor any objections? Valoem ^talk ^contrib 17:54, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

@Valoem: How does WP:COMMONNAME supports the proposed Tony Luke (actor) ? Kocherry is not part of his name. Searching "Tony Luke" also displays Tony Luke Jr., so what's the confusion ? Actor is also primary topic. --Let There Be Sunshine 18:37, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Maybe its another policy, but when people are looking up Tony Luke there is a higher chance they are looking for Tony Luke Jr. or the restaurant. Valoem ^talk ^contrib 18:46, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

round robin of Robin Bush

Hi.
I recently performed a round robin move between Robin Bush (historian), and Robin Bush; per this move discussion. Previously, Robin Bush was a dab page. Now after the move, the history of Robin Bush is okay, but the history of [[:Robin Bush]] is illogical as it shows the history of the dab page. Do you think moving/merging the history of the dab page with Pauline Robinson Bush would be appropriate? Strangely, a lot of edits like this, are about Pauline Robinson Bush. I am not sure when the article Pauline Robinson Bush was created. I mean, I can see it was created on July 9, 2005; but the history is muddled with redirecting and stuff. What do you think? What can be done and should be done? Kindly ping while replying. Thanks, —usernamekiran(talk) 08:14, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

@Usernamekiran: (If the original page Robin Bush was the disambig page, it would have been better to merely move Robin Bush to Robin Bush (disambiguation) and then Robin Bush (historian) to Robin Bush, and their talk pages with them, and not to try round-robins.) To tidy up I have moved Robin Bush (historian) to Robin Bush (disambiguation), then Talk:Robin Bush (historian) to Talk:Robin Bush/Archive 1; then I redirected Robin Bush (historian) to Robin Bush. (The history of page Pauline Robinson Bush contains 9 edits (all redirects), and no information text.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:59, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Thank you both for sorting this out. The Mighty Glen (talk) 13:12, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

Deletion rationale

Might I ask what you to clarify your rationale for the deletion of Taltopia? From the content, I assume you were going for A7? ~ Amory (u • t • c) 15:14, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

@Amorymeltzer: At 05:38, 9 March 2018, User:Clappingsimon speedy-delete-tagged it as WP:NN (= not notable) because Taltopia's website and domain do not exist. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:22, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
- Yes indeed, but the tag and delete rationale seem more appropriate for a PROD tag, hence my asking. ~ Amory (u • t • c) 16:31, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
  - From my limited knowledge of this, I get the impression that a PROD would have been more appropriate, because even if the subject doesn't exist anymore (akin to a dead person) there exists a slim chance that it might have been notable before it disappeared. Probably not, but I get the impression it wouldn't hurt to give somebody who knows more about it the opportunity to comment. Dr. Vogel (talk) 17:56, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
  - @Amorymeltzer, DrVogel, and Anthony Appleyard: My bad. Please restore the page and add it to the list at List_of_defunct_social_networking_websites. My searches indicated Taltopia was last active sometime in 2014. Clappingsimon talk 22:31, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Hello, please answer ASAP.

It is a clear violation of CSD G4/8! I have reviewed it and the subject is an icon of Ethiopian football, he is one of the youngest players ever to reach these merits and per relevance criteria is very-accepted for a note, It's bizarre it was deleted and I am expecting it to become put back ASAP, thank you. Per GNG he is notable CSD G4 require an identical text which it very was not. Please re-put the article ASAP... I via GNG request the article to be re-created and any bias in regards to former deletion is not ideal when notability is explained, I expect it to become re-input. The subject has received compliments from a nationality football president while coverage has been made in platforms such as TV, radio, magazines, and media, it is very clear coverage and via GNG he is at the very least acceptable. As mentioned I expect it to become re-published ASAP and at the very least the article sourcing could increase which wikipedians can do. Good day & best regards—Avaay (talk) 22:41, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

If you feel that the article was not a substantial recreation, then you need to contact Anthony Appleyard directly. If you are not satisfied with the deleting admin's explanation, your next recourse is WP:Deletion review. —C.Fred (talk) 22:47, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

As I was told to contact you, please read my text and re-publish the text, unfortunate I even have to go through this when the subject is clearly accepted for note via GNG. This is in reagards to Naanol Tesfaye article. Avaay (talk) 22:51, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

For context, this relates to the article Naanol Tesfaye, which you deleted per CSD G4; Avaay had put a request up at WP:Requests for undeletion. —C.Fred (talk) 22:53, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Some more context: it seems to have been deleted from several other Wikipedias. E.g. sv:Naanol Tesfaye, pl:Naanol Tesfaye, et:Naanol Tesfaye, etc

Avaay: does the article exist in the Amharic Wikipedia? I'm assuming you have the language skills to search for it there, which I certainly don't. Dr. Vogel (talk) 23:51, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

@Dr. Vogel, hello mate, yes there was but since amharic wikipedians usually refere to english wikipedia I and honestly the public wants it to be in th EN Wikipedia, German wikipedia also referred the article to be created here in the English wikipedia. That's why I'm confused that it was faulty deleted when it passes GNG... Avaay (talk) 02:07, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Jamie Langton

Hi Anthony. You seemed to have inadvertently histmerged Jamie Langton's user talk page with Draft talk:Jamie Langton. I imagine that is going to be rather confusing for him, but I don't know how to go about untangling it. Would you mind? Thanks. – Joe (talk) 18:23, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

Draft talk:Jamie Langton

Hello. Thanks for the history merge at Draft:Jamie Langton. But his user talk page got histmerged too, to Draft talk:Jamie Langton. Should that get histmerged back to his user talk page? Thanks, The Mighty Glen (talk) 20:38, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

@Joe Roe and The Mighty Glen: I did not history-merge Draft talk:Jamie Langton and Talk:Jamie Langton; I text-merged them. Draft talk:Jamie Langton contained the messages only; and Talk:Jamie Langton contained the header boxes only, so I text-merged them. Page Draft:Jamie Langton and page Jamie Langton were about the same man, and Jamie Langton was obviously a cut-and-paste move of Draft:Jamie Langton. I often have to text-merge talk pages after I have history-merged their articles. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:33, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

I see. Well, how can I recover his original user talk page posts from Draft talk:Jamie Langton back to User talk:Jamie Langton, without losing the edit history? The Mighty Glen (talk) 22:11, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

I don't think that's what happened, Anthony. You merged User talk:Jamie Langton with Talk:Jamie Langton [5]. It was only afterwards that Dial911 moved it to Draft talk:Jamie Langton [6]. Histmerge or "text-merge", I don't understand why you'd move user talk page messages to an article talk page. It has contributed to making a mess that has thoroughly confused the editor in question; see User talk:Dial911#Speedy deletion declined: Jamie langton. Are you going to help put them back in the right place, or should I just cut and paste? – Joe (talk) 07:41, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

@The Mighty Glen and Joe Roe: I have reversed the history-merge, as far as I can. Draft talk:Jamie Langton/Archive 1 contains the original thread that had the messages. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:38, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Anthony. But apart from the edit history of his user talk page, other editors will want to know the history of Jamie Langton (and Jamie langton. Can Draft talk:Jamie Langton/Archive 1 be histmerged to User talk:Jamie Langton?

This mess, incidentally, is nobody's fault but the article creator's. He's a WP:SPA self-promoter, whose user page should have been speedied db-U5 a long time ago. After copypasting it (unsourced) to Jamie Langton, he then began making changes to the user page, rather than the BLP-prodded main space article. Deleting the whole lot is tempting, but the subject appears to be notable, so we're stuck with cleaning up his mess. The Mighty Glen (talk) 08:44, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

@The Mighty Glen and Joe Roe: As far as I can tell, the article was started at 20:51, 11 August 2009‎ by User:Jamie Langton [was he the same man as the article is about???], at name Jamie langton, and in March 2018 was moved to Jamie Langton and then to Draft:Jamie Langton. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:48, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Yes, that's right. And User talk:Jamie Langton was histmerged yesterday to Talk:Jamie Langton, which then had various changes made to it. The edit history of that user talk page is currently at Draft talk:Jamie Langton/Archive 1, and that's what I'm trying to get merged back to his user talk page. The Mighty Glen (talk) 10:04, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

If it can't be histmerged back to User talk:Jamie Langton, can it least be moved to User talk:Jamie Langton/Archive 1, with an archive box on his user talk page, so the edit history is visible? The Mighty Glen (talk) 10:05, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

@The Mighty Glen and Joe Roe: Note that the image File:TV Director, Jamie Langton.jpg is described as "self-made" and was uploaded to Wikipedia by User:Jamie Langton . This raises a technical query about authorship, if the image was taken with Jamie Langton's camera held temporarily by someone else, rather than as a selfie. In Draft talk:Jamie Langton and Draft talk:Jamie Langton/Archive 1, the contents of the edits seem to be only header tags and speedy-delete warnings and a "welcome to Wikipedia" message. Except an edit made by User:Jamie Langton at 19:03, 29 January 2010, which is article text, the same text as the oldest-but-one edit of Draft:Jamie Langton: see this diff. And see Special:Contributions/Jamie Langton. Also, one edit to Draft talk:Jamie Langton/Archive 1 is by User:Jamie Langton : at 16:34, 13 March 2018‎, it is a one-line reply to a speedy-delete warning.

Hello you deleted my article about Tik Tok Short Video. I have since revised it in my sandbox and now think it is improved. Do you have time to look and send me a comment Y.Jiao95 (talk) 11:49, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

@Y.Jiao95: Tik Tok Short Video was speedy-deleted because of its advertisement-type nature, and User:Y.Jiao95/sandbox likely also would be deleted as advertisement. See WP:SPAM. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:51, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

AfD Rewrite

Hello, you recently deleted the page “Timothy Hwang”. I was wondering if you could send me the source code so as to avoid rewriting everything and looking up all references. Could you also note any portions that you find offend G11 and am happy to revise. Much of the structure and content form was borrowed from other similar articles such as Nate Morris. Would appreciate it. Jarleditorus (talk) 00:16, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

@Jarleditorus: It is now in User:Jarleditorus/Timothy Hwang. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:02, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
@Anthony Appleyard: I appreciate it. I edited the article, taking out parts that I felt were more editorial. Let me know what you think at this point and I will move over to article. Thanks. Jarleditorus (talk) 06:59, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Page keeps being deleted

Hello,

I noticed you deleted Alex Kuch. Could you please make sure this can't get tagged for deletion as I want to protect it. Can we lock the article? Do you think its notable? They think it's like a CV. Written like a CV. --202.89.61.2 (talk) 00:57, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Because its spam... Written like a CV. --RickiNickiEdits (talk) 01:03, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

James J. Elist

Hi Anthony, can you help me understand why James J. Elist's page was deleted? It was consistent with the Biography Guidelines on Wikipedia. Thank you! 01:03, 17 March 2018 User:RickiNickiEdits

@RickiNickiEdits: At 20:13, 16 March 2018 User:Jytdog speedy-delete-tagged it as db-spam (= advertisement), and he also suspected that "This article may have been created or edited in return for undisclosed payments, a violation of Wikipedia's terms of use.". The latest edit of James J. Elist consists largely of advertisement for a soft silicone penile implant. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:07, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Sriramulu Vallabhajyosula

Hi Anthony, The page I created 'Sriramulu Vallabhajyosula' was deleted under speedy deletion category. I had created the same post 7 years back with not enough information and hence it was deleted, but this time around I have added links to all the external references and material. Could you please let me know what else I need to add to keep this page? Dchavali (talk) 11:10, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

@Dchavali: Page Sriramulu Vallabhajosyula was deleted before, for reason stated in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sriramulu Vallabhajosyula. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:43, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Anthony, but I see these links featured [[7]], and Sriramulu is 95 and winning Gold's at this age for the country, how is it different?
