Where is Kate? DRV close

That was a very well-written, thorough, and helpful closing statement. Good job. Jclemens (talk) 04:53, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(ack, and no, even though it's 1 April in UTC, it isn't in my TZ and it's an entirely sincere comment regardless) Jclemens (talk) 04:54, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New legal article

I have finished enough of Consciousness of guilt (legal) to go public with it. Further development and improvement will be appreciated. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 19:25, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but how does that concern me? Sandstein 19:37, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you were interested in legal topics. My bad. Have a great day. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 20:09, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you very much Sandstein for your formatting of the references at Yitzhak Reiter. Much appreciated. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 16:51, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@IOHANNVSVERVS, right, but they are not good references. An opinion piece by him (worthless as a source), and an autobiographical page (not very good, see WP:SPS). You should try to find better sources, see generally WP:BIO. Sandstein 20:49, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Right, well I tried to have the page deleted originally since it had no references at all to begin with... This was what I was able to do to try to fix the article, as no one else was or has been willing to do anything to help fix the article.

Also the opinion piece written by Reiter includes at the bottom "Yitzhak Reiter is a professor of Islam, Middle East history and politics, and Israel Studies at Reichman University and Al-Qasemi College. Reiter is also the president of MEISAI, The Middle East and Islamic Studies Association of Israel. The article reflects his opinion only." This was presumably written by The Jerusalem Post about Reiter and not by the man himself. That bit is all I used for the article.

Keka (film)

As per User_talk:Missvain#Keka_(film), I feel that this deletion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Keka (film)) should have been a soft delete due to minimal participation. There are four reliable reviews: Rediff.com [1] IANS [2] 123telugu [3] [4] and two production sources: Idlebrain.com [5] and Rediff.com [6]. Do you agree that nobody that participated in the deletion discussion did a WP:Before and do I have the permission to recreate the page now? DareshMohan (talk) 02:07, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As always, you are free to recreate a deleted article if the recreation addresses the reasons for which the article was deleted. Sandstein 08:09, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted Kucoin

Hello, I am trying to create an article on Kucoin and discovered it one was created and correctly deleted in 2018. So much has changed since then, the organisation has gained quite some coverage and I would love to create one now if you do not mind.

Regards Ghostfishing (talk) 05:15, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How does that concern me? Sandstein 06:12, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's a protection log on the name or something and the template says to contact you before it can be created.
