		Welcome to my Talk Page
		Thank you for dropping by. Please assume good faith. I really don't like hyperbole, profanity, or hostility and I'm sure you don't either. If I've made a mistake, please don't assume bad faith. If we have a difference of opinion, I'm open to discussing it (time permitting). I have very strong feelings about the importance of notability, policies and guidelines, sources and evidence, and process and consensus for building the quality of the encyclopedia.

Thank you!

		The New Page Patroller's Barnstar
		For your thoughtful AfDs (and not just because of your gracious words here). I've enjoyed working with you, and not just when we agree! (Surprised there isn't a "barnstar of deletion"; perhaps that would send the wrong message?) AleatoryPonderings (talk) 16:46, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AleatoryPonderings The feeling is entirely mutual. It's always nice to be able to have a pleasant conversation, learn new things and improve the encyclopedia :) Hope this finds you well. Greetings from Los Angeles. // Timothy :: talk 17:11, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May I second that barnstar? Very much appreciate your comments on the AfD and am going to withdraw. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 19:59, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

blue bibliographies

Thank you for quality articles on bibliographies such as Bibliography of Stalinism and the Soviet Union and Bibliography of Martin Van Buren, for Green Banana Hole and William John Read, for friendly blue messages - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

You are recipient no. 2504 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 23:01, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda Arendt, Thank you :) I am really proud of the three Soviet history bibliographies. I always enjoy seeing your encouraging notes. Best wishes from Los Angeles, // Timothy :: talk 23:22, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, also for making me notice that "encourage" might have been a better motto for the year than "take courage" (coming from this song)! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:41, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Re-open of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ozan Boz (2nd nomination)

Hello Timothy, just wanted to reach out and kindly ask you to review your vote. Discussion is re-opened [[1]], and I’ve added a few objections to the Nominator’s arguments. Please consider whether the article satisfies the guideline WP:MUSICBIO. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neckhumbucker (talk • contribs) 20:57, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Neckhumbucker, I will look at the update you posted. I promise I will consider it and give it thought for at least a day.

re: WP:MUSICBIO, states: "Please note that the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, meeting any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. Rather, these are rules of thumb used by some editors", WP:MUSICBIO is a guideline, not a rule or policy.

One final item, you may not realize this because you are a new editor, but in situations such as this, when a member of a group is split off into their own article, that separate article receives substantially less views compared with when it was in the main article. Why do you wish to create an article that will give the subject substantially less views? I do not believe you want to make the content more obsure, but that will be the result of a separate article; personally I think the subject deserves the content where it will receive the most attention, not the least. // Timothy :: talk 01:25, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Thank you Timothy.

re: WP:MUSICBIO, I am getting up to speed with the policies, guidelines and rules. As far as I understand, policies have the most weight in a discussion, and then guidelines. Deletion Policy directly points to relevant notability guidelines. So I was thinking that satisfying a couple of sections of the WP:MUSICBIO guideline would give the necessary weight to my side of the discussion.

I wasn’t aware that the view count of Wiki pages was relevant. But when I was updating the band’s page, I realized the subject is an artist with a singular voice and with his own accomplishments that do not overlap with the band, so I created a new page for him. I’d think the subject’s page would be an additional entry point for the music community in Canada when wiki users who are interested in electric guitar or filmmaking find their way to the subject’s page.

Thanks.
