[Title width guide. Delete above here if no further edits - already in archive. If further edits, move below here.]

Huntercoin and Datacoin

Please restore User:RenegadeMinds/Huntercoin and User:0x0F/Datacoin. G4 does not apply to pages "moved to [the] user space or converted to a draft for explicit improvement (but not simply to circumvent Wikipedia's deletion policy)." The latter part is vague but I do not believe it is applicable in this or the vast majority of cases. I declined about 20 unquestionably inappropriate speedy deletion requests by the same user that made those two, which is what put them on my radar. Best regards, — Godsy (TALKCONT) 19:19, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

RHaworth, I see you did restore User:RenegadeMinds/Huntercoin and User:0x0F/Datacoin, but immediately redeleted them as U5, incorrect use as web host. They do not seem that to me; they are reasonable userspace drafts, and whether they will ever make an acceptable article has to be seen by consensus. Unless you object, I will restore them. DGG ( talk ) 15:10, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

  • There is no need to use a {{U}} template to me on this page! Restore them if you must. If you do, would you have any objections to my applying AfC tags to them? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:33, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Why was the page I created deleted

Why was the page I created deleted. It was not advertising. It was factual with plenty of references and cited works. This article came from an objective view and included another wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by V4ldhammond (talkcontribs) 11:51, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

  • Wikipedia is not an election platform. Please wait. If this woman becomes notable someone with no CoI will write about her here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:20, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Retrieve deleted article

Hi RHaworth, Hope all is well with you. You deleted this article Usama Tolba but the article about a person achieves noticeable. He is an Egyptian actor and has works in an Egyptian series. You can retrieve the article again and add these sources . Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by HaithamSelim (talkcontribs) 20:01, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

  • "You can retrieve the article again and add these sources"! Do your own editing! References to English language sources would help. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:20, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Can you please userfy the whole history of that article plus the talk page? I am not sure what condition it is in, but it is ranked top 50 most popular websites so it does appear to be notable. — Valoem talk contrib 01:30, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Restore

Are you able to restore this page I had deleted? User talk:Bfpage/Following me around. Thank you. Bfpage (talk) 03:55, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Refund

Please un-delete Template:For index and move it to User:SMcCandlish/Template:For index. You deleted this as "G2: test page", but it was not a test page. It may have been incomplete; I don't remember and will need to go over it, and fix it up if it wasn't working properly. This was a template recommended by Wikipedia:Indexes, so presumably it needs repair, not deletion.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  16:24, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

@SMcCandlish: Contents were a four-sentence autobiography. It wasn't a G2 except in the sense of "How long will it take this obviously-inappropriate material to get speedy-deleted?", but it was certainly an A7. — Cryptic 16:34, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

Hmm, that's odd. Maybe a mis-paste? I'll have to go digging back in old stuff to see what was actually supposed to be in it; it was not supposed to be content but actual template code.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  22:12, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

SMC, in a post on this page you say that you never did create {{For index}}, though you had meant to. It does appear you made a large update to {{For outline}} back in June of 2016. The actual content of {{For index}} that was just deleted was an attempt at a biographical article started in Jan 2018. There were no prior versions, and there are no incoming links to Template:For index from anywhere in Wikipedia space other than this reference which I don't understand. You had mentioned {{For index}} in WP:Indexes but recently someone removed it. Hope this helps. EdJohnston (talk) 22:40, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

I saw yesterday that this was edited by a sockpuppet, and started to delete it per G5, but then I looked at the history. It didn't qualify for G5, and it certainly doesn't qualify for G7. Please restore it. Thanks ​—DoRD (talk)​ 13:15, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Never mind, I've done it myself. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 10:45, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Mural Lingo Draft

Hi, Thank you for reviewing my draft previously. I would like to seek some advice from you as it has come to my attention that my page Draft:Mural Lingo has been removed under Section G11. We have created the page based on our close reference to other pages belonging to similar arts organisations such as The Substation and Singapore Art Museum. We are still very new to Wikipedia and hence would like to ask which are the areas that I can work on to improve the page and make it suitable for release. Thank you and I appreciate your assistance! Mural Lingo (talk) 12:45, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

  • If your enterprise ever becomes notable someone with no CoI will write about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:34, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Ocean Nuclear

Hi Roger, I've been working on a draft for Ocean Nuclear - a Chinese financing company for nuclear energy. Funny to spot you're in Croydon – I'm based in Crystal Palace, not too far from you. Please could I ask some advice - I've been editing the draft in line with feedback, and have switched things so the company comes across as notable and the copy does not read as promotional. Here's the latest draft. I'd be grateful to hear any advice you have. I think they are notable, and have found a number of independent sources, such as China Daily and World Nuclear Association, to verify that, but there isn't a lot of coverage in English, so including more links, except in translation, is a bit hard. Grateful to hear any advice you can share on this latest draft. All the best, Emily hare (talk) 08:18, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

  • I cannot decide whether you have a CoI or not. If you do, you must declare it. So which of your links are to significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources? If you cannot find such in English, then I suggest: give up for the time being. Feel free to try again but before you do take time to learn some wiki basics: formatting of section headings; don't clutter article bodies with external links; don't clutter user talk pages with article material. Indeed learn wikilinks! What on earth is the link currently on your user page? The best I can offer is that I will try and ensure that it gets the usual six month lifespan for draft articles: leave a note here if it gets a speedy tag again. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:34, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Kiersten White's new page

Hi, I'm confused about why you deleted the page I created. For one, how do I restore it to the proper place without losing all the info? Also, where should it have been placed, instead of Wikipedia:Kiersten White? Instead of a total deletion, wouldn't a nudge in the right direction suffice? — JameswoodSK (talk) 12:42, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

  • Please learn about wikilinks and in particular the difference between Wikipedia:Kiersten White (wrong) and Kiersten White (correct). I did hesitate before doing the original deletion of this one. I moved it back to draftspace because I am dubious about her notability. Please allow the article to be reviewed by an independent reviewer. If it gets accepted, it will require an admin to move it to mainspace - contact me if necessary. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:39, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

MfD closures

Greetings! I appreciate that you have begun closing MfD nominations for pages you delete. When you do that, however, please place {{subst:mfd top}} above the section header on the page; otherwise the section does not properly collapse at MfD. Thanks! Compassionate727 (T·C) 15:21, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

The other option is to use XFDcloser, which does all of the grunt work and means you don't have to remember where everything goes! — Primefac (talk) 18:16, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Request for undeletion of sorts

Hi, is there any way you could have a look at Swat Kohistan? I'm willing to examine it for anything worth merging into Swat District, so unless this is either utter gibberish or an exact copy of the main article, I'd appreciate it if you could restore it (possibly in draft space). Thanks! – Uanfala (talk) 22:18, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Alrigh, thanks. The article corresponding to the category is Swat District, I guess: I imagine the administrative unit to largely coincide with the geographic and cultural area. – Uanfala (talk) 21:37, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

Ah, no: Swat Kohistan is apparently only the upper half of the district. – Uanfala (talk) 08:47, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Question

The Veterans Against Terrorism page directs to a recently made (and currently disputed) addition to the UKIP page. It looks to me like promotion of something that as yet as little references in support. I assume you think speedy delete was not appropriate - but if not that then what? ----- Snowded TALK 07:15, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

WP:RFD. — 78.28.45.127 (talk) 09:58, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) What the IP said. I would personally recommend you wait a couple of days to make sure it doesn't get re-incorporated before taking it there. It's up to you though, it probably doesn't matter. Compassionate727 (T·C) 16:40, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
  • I am reluctant to talk to IP addresses at the best of times but an IP address incapable of composing a sentence can be ignored.
Snowded, wait at least a week after the dispute between you and the Vintage Feminist has resolved. If you have won, re-apply the speedy tag and deletion will be uncontroversial. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:05, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
Thanks RHaworth, Veterans Against Terrorism is now an article in its own right since the re-direct no longer makes sense due to this diff made 2 mins prior to the OP of this thread. -- The Vintage Feminist (talk) 23:02, 27 May 2018 (UTC)

I wasn't aware that one 'won' or 'lost' in the context of removing unreferenced material from wikipedia. Setting up a page to link to that is dubious at best and letting is stand for a couple of weeks dubious. A reason for decline rather than just deleting would have helped. However article has been created, using the groups own web site and material as source. So when I have time I'll have to go through that if some other editor hasn't picked it up. Thanks for responding ----- Snowded TALK 06:58, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Harshad's Draft

Hello RHaworth, could you please tell me the exact reason for the deletion of my recent draft:Sri Sri Sri Guru Viswa Sphoorthi [has never existed]. Can I make any suggested changes and reinstate the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harsh 107 (talkcontribs) 23:56, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Apparently about Draft:Sri Sri Sri Guru Vishwasphoorthi, though I stumbled upon Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sri Sri Sri Guru Viswa Sphoorthi first. — Cryptic 00:03, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Deletion of Twiflex Talk page

Hello, it seems you have deleted Draft talk:Twiflex per (G8: Talk page of a deleted or non-existent page). Was this due to the fact I created the Draft page in the Draft Talk page sections as opposed to the Draft page? It says to contact you before creating the page again so if you could shed some more light on the matter, I'd appreciate it. Thank you for your time, Kind regards. Jordan.williams (talk) 08:29, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

  • I hope that any clients for whom you are doing paid editing will insist on a "no publish - no fee" contract. Before you do any more paid work, actually take some time to learn how to edit Wikipedia: basics like section headings, wikilinks (your draft did not contain a single one!), de-duplicating references, etc. It was far too long and too much like the company's own website. Look at articles for similar companies - Altra Industrial Motion is a good example! Text reluctantly emailed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:25, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

About MYREN

Hi, I would like to create a page about MYREN (the Malaysian Research and Education Network) and I noticed the page was deleted by you on 30 May 2014. Can I have the original text of this page or can I create this wiki again? Thanks. +可愛+天使 (talk) 16:15, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Allen Small article deleted

Hi RHaworth, I am just wondering why you flagged draft:Allen Small the article as advertising? He is the leader of a large political party in Ontario -- and we are currently in an election. There are several pages related to the election with vote tallies, polling etc that have an empty to link to his page. Would you be able to clarify for me why this falls under advertising? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brendanbenting (talkcontribs) 00:15, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

@Compassionate727: Thank-you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brendanbenting (talkcontribs)

  • @Brendanbenting: I did you a favor and moved this to the bottom of the page, where new conversations ago. RHaworth doesn't respond to requests that aren't made in the correct place. Compassionate727 (T·C) 00:21, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
  • I did not flag it as advertising: I deleted it. It looked like what it was: electioneering. But if you must, try again with a non-copyvio version that establishes the guy's notability. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:11, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Restoring page

Hi, I wrote the page Draft:Kevin Scott (Computer Scientist) that you recently deleted, and would like to work on it until it becomes acceptable. Could you please temporarily restore it into my user space, or email it to me? It had substantial content beyond https://news.microsoft.com/exec/kevin-scott/ that was added to it, and I would like to keep that content while I rewrite the duplicate content. Thank you, Rnarula (talk) 03:15, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

deletion of Rain (network operator)

Please help me to understand why you deleted this page after I responded to the initial speedy deletion note and added sufficient diverse references.

Talk:Bret Weinstein

Hi there,

You deleted the said talk page. I assume you have not read the content of it. There is a redirect entry for his former college. And the discussion on the talk page is about whether the entry should be a stand alone one. As such, a technically reasoned deletion is incorrect IMHO. Can you please recover it? Those things lay dormant I know. But situations change and people might also get the time to engage at some point to expand etc. Thanks, Jazi Zilber (talk) 16:30, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

YechezkelZilber, the page was deleted so that the draft version could be moved into its place. Primefac (talk) 16:55, 1 June 2018 (UTC) (talk page stalker)

Couldn't you have moved the talk page to the talk of the draft page rather than deleting? I recall it was a lively talk page. — Jazi Zilber (talk) 09:03, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Nagarigari Preetham

Until yesterday, WP:G13 stated "Redirects and pages tagged with {{promising draft}} are excluded from G13 deletion." There is a discussion about the matter occurring at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#Request for comment: Promising drafts. That being said, the deletion of pages tagged with {{promising draft}} per G13 is not uncontroversial; would you please restore Draft:Nagarigari Preetham (I monitor such pages at User:Godsy/Promising drafts).

  • In fact both speedy tags were "wrong". There was no indication that the author of Draft:Blogger wanted it deleted but I was happy to delete it as empty and almost six months stale.

Grammer

I was surprised to see Harry Grammer deleted. Can you check if I said why that was approved? — Legacypac (talk) 23:22, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I am pretty sure that I was the one that tagged Draft:Old Kickapoo with a CSD housekeeping tag after I merged the content to Bleeding Kansas. Instead, I should have moved it to article space and changed it to a redirect... and then added merge tags. Sorry about that... I wasn't thinking of the right procedure because it was in draft space. I think you may have been the one that deleted it. Is it possible to bring it back so that I can make those fixes and preserve the history, per the discussion at User_talk:FloridaArmy#Merl_R._Eppse. Or, should I file a request for an undelete? Thanks so much!!! – CaroleHenson (talk) 14:05, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Deletion

Dear RHaworth. Why do you keep deleting my questions as to why Hjernerystelsesforeningen is deleted - and even doing it without writing a notification of you doing it on my talkpage, or without guiding me in the right direction, so I can get an answer to my question? Especially the last part, is somewhat bad judgement from your part. Looking forward to your answers. Kind regards Tøndemageren (talk) 06:46, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Extended content

Hello, RHaworth. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Epigenetics of male infertility".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing.

Motimatic Deletion

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Motimatic&action=edit&redlink=1

Hi! I got an email about the speedy deletion of the Motimatic page at midnight right as I was going to sleep. It said that I would be able to contest the deletion, but the article was already gone by the time I sat down to fix it at 6am. I disagree with the recommendation to delete it and feel strongly that I should have been given the opportunity to fix it. I am new to Wikipedia and that was one of my first articles. I am confident I could have fixed it. Would you mind restoring it so I can work on it? Best, SJTatsu (talk) 01:36, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
