Coming here to ask why I deleted your article? Read this page first...

If that doesn't help, read these FAQs.

1. Why did you delete my page when I hadn't finished writing it?

Answer: Don't create new articles unless you are sure they meet wikipedia's criteria, particularly notability and verifiability. If you want to practice, there is the sandbox facility and Wikipedia:Articles for creation where you can get a second opinion from a more experienced contributor. And if you really can't help yourself, use {{underconstruction}} so other people will know you are still working on it.

2. Why did you delete my page for advertising? I wasn't trying to advertise!

Answer: Read Wikipedia:NPOV for guidance on how to word an article so that it doesn't sound like an advertisement.

3. Why did you delete my page for advertising? It was about a non-profit organisation!

Answer: Non-profit organisations advertise all the time - it's still promotion and the rule applies to them just as it does to commercial bodies. See no 2 above.

4. Why did you delete my article without warning?

Answer: Because you are not entitled to a warning if you don't follow the guidelines. See no 1 above.

5. Why didn't you do a google search and find references for my article and put them in for me instead of just deleting it?

Answer: Because I don't have time to do the boring bits for you. I have enough boring bits of my own to work on, thank you.

6. You have a very interesting view of neutrality. The authors you give credence to have a definite point of view and you discount those that disagree.

Answer: There is of course no answer because this is not a question. It's a snide comment added by someone who doesn't understand the NPOV rule. Possibly a Ricardian revisionist.

And please SIGN YOUR POSTS, otherwise I don't know who is asking me the question!

I didn't come here to row

I came here to row! Row, row, row your boat... Three more expansions, and all in time for International Women's Day too. Love finding quite interesting things about Olympians, such as the charity work done by Juliet Thompson in this instance. Take care. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 19:30, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work. Maybe some of them will merit a place on Welsh Wikipedia as well! Deb (talk) 08:19, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Maybe these two are perfect candidates for the Welsh Wiki! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 09:27, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We need more women. Deb (talk) 09:30, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

May 12

If you could take a look at May 12 again. I re-added a birthday with a citation method used on another day for a different person. It was reverted again by the same user, further confusing the matter. 96.245.109.166 (talk) 15:28, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please recover. It's in a SANDBOX! You should talk to the deleting administrator, Deb, if you have further questions. Liz Read! Talk! 16:11, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

I Cannot Find the "Draft:Abu Torab Fatemi Mehra" as notified. thx! Hi.

I spent considerable time on this deleted document Why? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:UserCmehrasandbox.jpg

Please resolve ASAP.

Thanks!

Hello, Cmehra, If you look at the page, Draft:Abu Torab Fatemi Mehra, you can see that it was deleted for copyright infringement. You should talk to the deleting administrator, Deb, if you have further questions. Liz Read! Talk! 16:11, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Cmehra (talk) 17:09, 10 March 2022 (UTC) Cyrus C. Mehra[reply]

Sorry, I don't undersstand this request. Deb (talk) 12:22, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Liz, your colleague has stated that You ( I, Cyrus) should talk to the deleting administrator, Deb (You) Cmehra (talk) 15:43, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you're asking about the reason for deletion, that was explained in the deletion log. Deb (talk) 18:09, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think yes!

Hi Deb, how are you?

Me I'm fine.

About your question, I think he really exists, under his alias that I put in Wikidata. He directed lot of films about Martial Arts, in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Thanks a lot for your visit.

Rei Momo (talk) 13:34, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rei Momo - thanks, but you can't create articles without reliable sources. I can't find any record of him or his films. You need to give us sources where you found this information - not IMDb or Amazon - otherwise the articles will all be deleted. Deb (talk) 13:36, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Aren't their films a source? I thought it was... Rei Momo (talk) 13:39, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's also a short biografy, I don't think it's a fake. Rei Momo (talk) 13:41, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any reliable source for the existence of any of these films. Maybe they have alternative titles, but I can't find any of them. I did find books that mention Kim Lung, but they don't mention any of these films either, they mention completely different titles. A biography on Amazon wouldn't be acceptable in the absence of any more reliable source. Deb (talk) 13:45, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, but he worked woth other alias, as Long Jian, Long Quan and Hong Chian Long, as I put on Wikidata. His films The Bridge at Lo-Yang, The Bridge at Lo-Yang, Blood of the Leopard, and Queen of Fist are known also in Europe, not only in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Rei Momo (talk) 14:04, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any references to these. Please come up with a reliable source. Also, at the moment the articles for the individual films don't make any claim of notability. Even the articles on the actors don't list these films. For example, the list of films with Jimmy Wang Yu doesn't mention Queen of Fist. Sorry, I know how hard you are trying, but those articles can't stay unless you can find something better. Deb (talk) 14:08, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I found this:

Rei Momo (talk) 14:10, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's not reliable. It's just copied from elsewhere. See Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Deb (talk) 14:13, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rei Momo (talk) 14:26, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No. this is not reliable. Anyone could have made this up. Deb (talk) 14:35, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for putting an end to the disruption

They have now doubled down by outright trolling. It’s a shame we assume good faith and yet we are still belittled. If they continue trolling I’d do well to notify you, perhaps then revoking TPA privileges might do the trick. Celestina007 (talk) 14:20, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Now permanently blocked and talk page access removed. Deb (talk) 14:24, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah! I note you thought it wise to do so prior even me telling you. What’s that they say about great minds

. Stay safe Deb and once again thanks for dealing with the vandalism/disruptive editing swiftly. Celestina007 (talk) 14:27, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Let me know if you think they have come back. Deb (talk) 14:34, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely Deb I would, I’m sure they’d be back, hence later in the day i would create an entry for them and all the articles they have attempted created at WP:SPAM. Furthermore, I believe very strongly that the now blocked account isn’t their first account and are likely an editor evading a block. Celestina007 (talk) 14:49, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

without reason delete my draft

without reason my article draft:Nahid Hasan (Bangladeshi politician) was deleted. please check that and resolve it😭 Nhbbpl (talk) 18:40, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's untrue. You have been given reasons on your talk page. Deb (talk) 18:53, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lance Hayes Page

Hi again Deb, As you know, I had previously had an article of Lance Hayes in an article space, though it was removed. In order for me to improve my draft, is it possible for you to recover the source from my published article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=Lance_Hayes. Thanks, Dark. DarkKnight9337 (talk) 21:36, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DarkKnight9337 Your draft is still present at Draft:Lance Hayes and the only real difference between this and the published version is that the latter was in much more promotional language. So I recommend you recommence work on the draft. Deb (talk) 08:36, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I will continue to work on my draft, I apologise for any trouble I have caused. I will try to not make that same mistake, I was an editor on FANDOM for a while, so I know the basics and editing areas. DarkKnight9337 (talk) 23:09, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DarkKnight9337, Maybe that's where you are going wrong. "Fandom" is not at all like Wikipedia. Deb (talk) 08:22, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not wrong, but the main skills for editing on Fandom are why I know how to edit on Wikipedia. I will apply your advice in the future, thanks. DarkKnight9337 (talk) 22:02, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DOY help

Can you help keep an eye on this editor please? Almost all of their edits are adding unsourced entries. Thanks! Toddst1 (talk) 14:07, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
