Deletion at List of General Caste in Sikhism

Hi GB fan, I just noticed the CSD was reverted. My question is, how would an editor even decide their vote at the AfD if the article is blank? Shouldn't it have been reverted to the point where there was some content? Thanks, MT Train^Talk 16:12, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Which I have also done. and left a message to that effect on the AFD. ~ GB fan 16:13, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Edits to Verizon Center

Hi ~ GB fan,
What do you desire to have done regarding Talk:Verizon Center? Do you want me to undue of all of my other redirect edits? I'm still of the position that existing links to the Washington Arena should be revised to Capital One Arena or perhaps Verizon Center per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:TITLE but I don't want to piss you off, and, I recognize that I made an error based on our previous discussion with spyder_monkey. Randomeditor1000 (talk) 16:12, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Either fix the ones you changed or fix all the ones for Capital One. I don't really care which. I desire that the links to Verizon center direct the reader to the correct venue. ~ GB fan 18:30, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

Fair enough. I rolled back my previous changes. I will also update the others. Randomeditor1000 (talk) 19:54, 5 March 2018 (UTC)

You cited opinion pieces rather than an official school statement or press release. Speculating on the reason for someone's termination is not a fact for an article. Seems to be more of a personal grudge perhaps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Renee Glover (talk • contribs) 20:52, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Renee Glover, I didn't cite anything, I reverted your removal of sourced information. Your edit summary said you updated the article when in fact all you did was remove content. I have no grudge, I don't follow basketball, professional or college. I have no connection at all to Seton Hall. If you had adequately explained why you removed the information I wouldn't have restored it. ~ GB fan 21:26, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

An editor wants Draft:Draft reduced to EC protection

Per this RFPP request. I don't have an opinion. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 01:56, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

I fixed the protection, didn't mean to add full protection on editing the article. Only meant to add full protection on moving it. ~ GB fan 02:30, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Xhevë Krasniqi - Lladrovci (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hello, im writing to you about the page Draft:Xhevë Krasniqi - Lladrovci, someone from our Wikipedians was thinking that she is writing in Albanian Wikipedia sq. and she publish those words i delteted because its not translated and it was written for sq.wikipedia. Thank you Astronomi06 (talk) 17:57, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

Astronomi06, if Kiqina wants it deleted, she can log in and add {{db-g7}} to the top of the page and an admin will delete it. ~ GB fan 18:40, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

User:Govvy/Manchester United Europe

What have I got to move? I said I got this page to move in to it. Govvy (talk) 15:47, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Finally you linked to something you wanted moved to that title and it was done. It would have been so much easier if you would have linked to it to begin with instead of making admins guess what you want. ~ GB fan 19:29, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Banasura

At first I thought this was a new editor, but now I have my doubts. I've CU confirmed another account and the IPs. He's obviously able to rapidly find IP addresses in different ranges. Doug Weller talk 14:22, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Kurt Hill

Hi there. The reason for the deletion of the page "Kurt Hill" is untrue. A late decision has was made to join one of Asia's leading formula car racing categories called Asian Formula Renault where Kurt currently sits second in the championship. You can see the driver mentioned on this page (2018_Asian_Formula_Renault_Series) and also in articles https://www.speedcafe.com/news_extra/mrf-challenge-prepares-rising-star-hill-2018-season/ https://www.speedcafe.com/news_extra/rising-star-hill-living-life-fast-lane-asian-formula-renault/.

Please kindly review this deletion. Khracing96 (talk) 08:26, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Restored as a contested PROD. ~ GB fan 09:14, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Delete Nychology

Nychology (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

I would like to have an explanation why you deleted the term. I work according to it and under this title for years, you can't just erase it like it doesn't exist. Avi Sagi 14:18, 19 March 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by אבי שגיא (talk • contribs)

אבי שגיא, I don't know what more I can say beyond what is on your user talk already. You created this "branch of dermatology". The article, as it stood when I evaluated it, did not make any credible claim to significance. The only source on the article was one to your own personal website. There is no indication that anyone other than you has ever used used Nychology to describe "the scientific study of the health of nails, alternative treatments and the relation to nails care". If you feel the article should be restored you can start a Deletion review discussion. ~ GB fan 14:47, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

I understand, though You don't know this brand because it is new. It is treatment method and it's happening for almost 5 years. It takes time, but I believe 5 years is fair enough to write on it on wikipedia. I will try to restore it. thank you. Avi Sagi 16:36, 19 March 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by אבי שגיא (talk • contribs)

אבי שגיא, do you know of any independent reliable sources that discuss Nychology? ~ GB fan 16:57, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

GB fan, yes I do. Other natural cosmetic companies, the teachers on my school, my clients. I have lots of examples. Avi Sagi 21:14, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

אבי שגיא, None of those are independent. What we would need are published independent reliable sources. ~ GB fan 23:34, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

I have read those links twice and don't understand what to do. No one is going to write on me an article, it is not such interesting subject. I could pay to news publishers lots of money to write on me on some newspapers or even talk about it on television or other media, but I won't do it. It is ridiculous. So what should I do? Which kind of reliable source would be satisfying? Avi Sagi 19:42, 20 March 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by אבי שגיא (talk • contribs)

There in lies the problem, no independent reliable sources have written about it. Until that happens there will not be an article. ~ GB fan 22:24, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

A non-excisted station isn't for speedy deletion? It doesn't need voting just deletion because this didn't excist. There isn't any dispute for its excistation. Please stop continiue it.--Digital Greece (talk) 13:25, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

No it isn't a speedy deletion criterion. You need to stop adding a speedy deletion tag and persue a different form of deletion such as WP:PROD, no voting or WP:AFD voting. ~ GB fan 13:27, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Am i violating editor's work? No just no, a trolling page i try to delete.--Digital Greece (talk) 13:42, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

You have two options at this point if you feel the article should be deleted. WP:PROD, you tag it with a rationale and if no one objects in 7 days an admin will delete it. WP:AFD, you create a discussion with a rationale and the discussion takes place, 7 days later an admin makes a decision based on the discussion whether the article is deleted. Speedy deletion is not an option. ~ GB fan 13:47, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Why isn't speedy an option?--Digital Greece (talk) 13:49, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

To speedy delete an article, it must fit into one of the criterion listed at WP:CSD. This radio station does not fit any of the criterion listed there. One of the criterion WP:G3 deals with hoaxes. That is what I originally thought you were saying this was. It has to be a blatant hoax and that is why I originally declined the speedy delete. You have since clarified you don't think it is a hoax. None of the other criterion listed there are applicable to this article, so the only options left are WP:PROD or WP:AFD. ~ GB fan 14:02, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

Ah, there is a misunderstanding Yes i consinder it, and it is, as a hoax. Ι thought you recited the charge of the hoax, with the adding of template there, and that's why I refused it. Sorry.--Digital Greece (talk) 19:17, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

As I said though, for an article to be speedy deleted as a hoax, it has to be a blatant hoax. This isn't a blatant hoax, so it is not eligible for speedy deletion. ~ GB fan 22:18, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

what should be done here?

Hi.
You recently declined a speedy nomination. I am not objecting your call, I am simply asking in a friendly manner; what do you think should be done now? I always thought ProD is a waste of time. Do you think it should be AfD'ed? —usernamekiran(talk) 19:12, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

If it were me doing this I would add the PROD first and then if it is contested the AFD. ~ GB fan 22:09, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

@GB fan hmm. Another editor has invoked G3. Based on the horny dragon I think it might be true. First I had assumed it was a real, and "ancient" game hence no coverage. But whenever I see horny dragon(s) around, i get very suspicious. Long story. —usernamekiran(talk) 06:30, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
