camp ramah in canada
please reinsate the camp ramah in canada page. PLEASE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.158.4.236 (talk) 01:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of "Wendy Phua" article
Dear Pegasus,
I previously messaged you about above the article I was writing. You indicated that I needed to include references to justify putting up the article and so I inserted references and external links within the article. However it is being deleted once more.
I am very confused here as to the exact requirements needed to put up article because I have come across various other articles like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.P.I.C and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_Problem where the persons involved have far less media publicity and zero references.
Please enlighten me on what information could my article be possibly missing and how articles like the ones mentioned above could remain in wikipedia when they have no references at all.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Mohd.mnor (talk) 07:33, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Dear Pegasus, it seems the article is up again. This is getting rather confusing but I guess in this case, I will not bother you or take up more of your time unnecessarily. Thank You. Mohd.mnor (talk) 07:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Cat Le-Huy
Why was the Cat Le-Huy page deleted? I think it is very relevant information that belongs to the Wikipedia, a lot of other articles about other living persons are similar and not deleted. Probably some articles will link back to it because it is an interesting case.
He is the head of the internet department of Endemol and gets probably at least 4 years jail for nothing. So there is web campaign web for the release of German citizen and UK resident Cat Le-Huy.
More than 4000 friends and colleagues signed for his release.
Follow the links for more info: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7234786.stm http://freediz.com http://www.mailonsunday.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=512815&in_page_id=1811 http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/07/endemol_big_brother_smuggling/ http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/newsfeed/2008/02/07/tv-chief-in-dubai-drug-hell-86908-20311283/ http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite/diarypage.php?did=5948 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M8I8ydkq0g http://thetruthaboutdubai.com/ http://dubai.metblogs.com/archives/2008/02/dubais_drug_laws_cat_lehuy.phtml
Cat Le-Huy (aka "Diz") is a German national who has been held without charge in Dubai since January 26th 2008 after being detained at immigration.
Cat was carrying Melatonin, which is legally sold over-the-counter in Dubai, and this is being tested for contraband along with a sample of his urine and 0.01g of what the Dubai authorities believe is hashish which was found in his bag. Cat maintains that the alleged hashish is simply dirt.
If charged and found guilty Cat will face a minimum sentence of 4 years. Friends of Cat have started an online campaign and petition for his release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.249.118.72 (talk) 11:18, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Ludovic Hubler's deletion
Hi Pegasus. What is wrong with the following article I started about Ludovic Hubler? You have many other biographical articles on wikipedia about hitchhikers and explorers like Ludovic Hubler is.
Ludovic Hubler is a French hitchhiker, most famous for his 5 year long tour of the world. One of three sons of Mr. and Mrs. Jacques Hubler, Hubler was born in Bar-le-Duc, France on the 11th of September 1977. He started hitchhiking adventures in college where he hitchhiked 40,000 km in Europe, but his greatest contribution to Hitchhiking includes his 2003-2008 tour of the world by hitchhiking during which he traveled over 170,000 km through 59 countries on 1300 various vehicles - all this while spending 0 (zero) cents on transport to complete the world tour (apart from urban transport and two-way trips with a return to starting point) and an estimated daily budget of $10 USD.[1]— Preceding unsigned comment added by Drazek (talk • contribs)

Speedy deleting Grey thumb society
Hmm, didn't even give me a day to respond to your warning before speedy deleting Grey thumb society. Anyway, notability is established with the multiple interviews from biota.org on the grey thumb society. Do I need to rewrite the article or can you undelete it? --Numsgil (talk) 20:05, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
- To be notable a group needs to be discussed multiple times in independent reliable sources. I would advise you not to re-create the article. Pegasus «C¦T» 01:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- Perhaps I am unclear: it is discussed in the biota.org podcasts. Meaning interviews, which are a reliable source. Biota.org is an independent reliable source (run by Tom Barbalet). Second, the Grey Thumb Society is strongly linked with Breve (software), a screenshot of which is presently being used for the Artificial life page. It's all sort of intertwined with each other. Do you still want to contest notability? Perhaps I can just add a grey thumb section to another article, if that's what your concern is. --Numsgil (talk) 03:32, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- this should do. Again, if notability is the concern here (only one notable source I can find. What's the minimum? Two? And we can't take a leap of good faith here?), perhaps I can do an article Artificial Life Organizations, with a grey thumb section. --Numsgil (talk) 17:43, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
- That is on a server run by the grey thumb folks themselves. I am still not convinced of this organisation's notability; please seek consensus at Wikipedia:Deletion review before writing anything on these people. Pegasus «C¦T» 23:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Un-delete Camp Ramah in Canada
This page does not meet the criteria for deletion under CSD A7. This page DID in fact indicate why its subject is important.

Deletion of Fine Art Registry page
Pegasus, I wrote you about the deletion of the page on Fine Art Registry but cannot now find any answer about what I need to do to revise the page. At the same time, I find a page on a lawyer named Shawn Khorrami that seems to be blatant advertising and am wondering how this slipped through the cracks. Or, if it is a valid page, can you tell me why this would be considered valid, but Fine Art Registry isn't? I am new to Wikipedia and need some help here. Thanks.

Heartland Article Deletion
I have seen that you deleted the article about Heartland Community Church. I understand the need to delete the article due to speedy deletion criterion A7, but I posted my request on the page's talk page that I was unsure of how to satisfy this Wikipedia standard. It appears that you may have deleted the original page, and then the talk page, without first looking at the talk page for my request. I would appreciate any help in satisfying Wikipedia standards while still being able to put my article in the encyclopedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crazy951842367 (talk • contribs) 04:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Five Ten Footwear, Innovations removed
How was that advertising?
This is not a case of proprietary technologies, these are things things Five Ten invented or contributed to the Outdoor community that are widely used today or are considered 'normal' by today's standards but were revolutionary when introduced.
Certainly not the blatant as found on Nike's page.. if the list i posted was advertising, Nike's page including 'recently introduced' products is surely over the top.
For now, that is the approach I have taken. I have replaced the list, omitting specific product references.
This is a big issue to me, because I do understand the perception, but unless you are very knowledgeable about the outdoor industry you would have no way of knowing how ground breaking these innovations have been.

the camp ramah page should be reinstated because it truly is significant. Camp Ramah in Canada is a camp that has existed since the 1960's to the present.

Deletion review
Dear Pegasus,
I hope you are doing well.
I am writing to you about your deletion of Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Cumulus_Clouds. I believe that deletion was a well-intentioned mistake. Per the proceedures at Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Principal_purpose_.E2.80.94_challenging_deletion_debates, I am coming here to discuss the matter with you as the deleting admin.
The RFP actually was certified. I certified it myself.
Lawrence acted improperly when he tagged it a speedy deletion.[1] He knows very well that I certified this RFC. He also knows that if he wishes to contest that certification that it is not a matter for speedy deletion.
Your edit summary is in error. You stated, "Housekeeping and routine (non-controversial) cleanup: Uncertified RFC nearly a week old." It is certainly not an "non-controversial" cleanup matter. In fact, the RFC contains statements from numerous people saying that it should go forward.
Please revert your deletion so that we do not have to go through the time and tedium of a deletion review.
Thanks very much, Johntex\talk 19:23, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- Incorrect. RFCs must be certified within two days by TWO additional people per the RFC procedures, rules, and templates themselves, not one. Case closed. Lawrence § t/e 21:10, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- The specific language, copied now from the Archtransit RFC:
- "In order to remain listed at Wikipedia:Requests for comment, at least two people need to show that they tried to resolve a dispute with this sysop and have failed. This must involve the same dispute, not different disputes. The persons complaining must provide evidence of their efforts, and each of them must certify it by signing this page with Lawrence § t/e 21:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC). If this does not happen within 48 hours of the creation of this dispute page (which was: 20:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC)}), the page will be deleted. The current date and time is: 21:13, 15 February 2008 (UTC)."
- The RFC in question was only certified by Johntex. The filer is not a certifier. Lawrence § t/e 21:15, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
ANI to clarify the certification (no offense, Johntex, but as possible partisans in this both your and my opinions are to be immediately devalued here for the community to decide). Neither of us will be making this decision. Period. Lawrence § t/e 21:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for your message, Lawrence, but you are mistaken. "Two people" includes the person who files the RFC. That is clearly the interpretation that was being used during the discussion on the RFC. That discussion centered around whether or not I had certified it. If I, as the second person, was still insufficient to certify, then the conversation would have been completely different. It would have centered around whether a third person was stepping forward.
- Also Lawrence, it is ironic that you say that "as possible partisans in this both your and my opinions are to be immediately devalued here for the community to decide". I am happy that you agree because it proves my point. You, as an involved party, should not have tagged the page for Speedy Deletion.
- Also, this proves my point that it was NOT an uncontroversial matter. It should be allowed to remain and Lawrence should have taken this to MfD so that there could be a discussion if Lawrence wanted this deleted. Johntex\talk 21:54, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- If Pegasus were to undelete it, I would be happy to MFD this. DRV is a preferable option, however, to spare CC more harassment by restoring a hit/attack page on him that BQZip had drafted. Lawrence § t/e 21:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- I am already following the DRV process. The first step of the process is to give the deleting admin a chance to correct their error. If Pegasus does not agree to undelete, or if Pegasus is not reachable within 24 hours, then I will take the next step in righting this problem. Also, you are way out of line by accusing BQ of harassing CC. That is a personal attack against BQ. Johntex\talk 23:31, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- If Pegasus were to undelete it, I would be happy to MFD this. DRV is a preferable option, however, to spare CC more harassment by restoring a hit/attack page on him that BQZip had drafted. Lawrence § t/e 21:58, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Glory Glory Leeds
The article Glory Glory Leeds appears to be a message addressed to you from user:Twiggster. (I found it while on New page patrol.) Sbowers3 (talk) 02:00, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi Pegasus. I hope I have posted this in the correct place?
I am a broadcaster on Champions Soccer Radio Network - possibly the biggest USA based online soccer radio network. [3], who are associated with the Sports Byline Group and the David Beckham Academy and are sponsored by Setanta amongst other backers.
A few of us who are involved with the network are in the process of creating a Wiki page about CSRN. We decided it was better to link info about the various individual network shows to seperate pages rather than have ALL the info on our main wiki page (we currently have 16 shows broadcasting on a regular basis), as the page would be too cluttered. My Glory Glory Leeds Show is one of them.
You deleted my page for "blatant advertising", yet my show is a successful and integral part of the above mentioned network. It is NOT a "web site, blog, online forum, webcomic, or an online game" - although ALL the network's shows are available as podcasts, with it being an online media network. Therefore, I feel my Glory Glory Leeds info was within the rules and ask for it to be reinstated.
I refer you to the Fox Soccer Wikki page, [4] for a relevant comparison with what we are trying to create with our CSRN page,here on Wiki.
This is the first time any of us who are creating this Wiki site have attempted to do so and we apologise for having transgressed your rules. You have so many rules and regulations and none of us have had the time to read all of them - I seem to remember reading somewhere in your list, that administrators may be appointed, to decide the content that is posted on a Wiki page? Please let me know how this is possible, preferably by email: glorygloryleeds@csrnusa.com or else on this page?
Thank you for your time sincerely Twiggster representing the Champions Soccer Radio Network
- The article was first created as an advertisement. If there are third-party reliable sources about the show itself, then by all means create the page again - just make sure it is written in a neutral, non-advertising manner.

Probably you didn't notice, but when you speedy deleted the redirect Designer headbands, I had previously declined to speedy delete on the same rationale. Since you didn't ask me about it, This might seem like wheel warring.

Primelocation redirect
Hi, you keep redirecting a page I created (Primelocation) to the Daily Mail and General Trust. You've cited the reason as "persistently reposted spam for a non-notable company". The company is actually a part of the DMGT group and is a major property portal in the UK, similar to Rightmove - which has its own page. If you can tell me what you find non-notable about it, I'd appreciate it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmtownsend (talk • contribs)
- The page was of the nature of an advertisement for the company and the magazine of the same name. If you can write the article differently so that it is neutral and non-advertising in nature, you can write a copy here and then make a request at deletion review, where the copy can be checked by administrators and moved back to the article, if the aforementioned criteria are satisfied. Pegasus «C¦T» 01:12, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Okay. Can you please help me out by identifying the points in the article that you would consider to be too like an advertisement. I actually think that it is sufficiently neutral and completely factual, but if you can point out to me the offending passages I'll be happy to change them and resubmit. Thanks. ----Jmtownsend (talk) 14:31, 28 February 2008 (UTC) 14:20, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Biosearch Technologies
Hello, I have been notified that our article on Biosearch Technologies has been speedily deleted by you. I am confused on to why our article was deleted. This has happened twice and we have rewritten it several times to meet wikipedia's standards. If you would please indicate to us why this has happened and what we can do to keep our page, I would appreciate it. This company invented the Black Hole Quencher, a dark quencher used in genetic research, qPCR and many other applications by major research companies. The Black Hole Quencher is actually linked to a blank page on the dark quencher article. If this is not notable, what is?? We are at a loss to why this page is being deleted, when other companies have had pages for years, basically advertising their products (ie Invitrogen, Affymetrix, BioMarin, Idaho Technology, ABI, etc.). Can you give us any suggestions on how to keep our page alive? Thank You. KaileyMcLaughlin (talk) 17:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- The article lacks sources to demonstrate notability. Actually it still does, to a lesser extent than the deleted versions, but still badly enough to possibly merit a discussion at Articles for deletion. Pegasus «C¦T» 01:29, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for your help. We have made some changes to add more references and make the article more notable. Are there any suggestions you can give me to improve it even more?

not a blatant hoax for you - Image:NemanjicCrnojevic.jpg
But it is - this image is based on that image. It is a clear agenda of such people like Paxequilibrium.
Both of those images were created on the basis of fabricization of history using a portion of this map. They said to themselves, wouldn't it be nice to create something that has never been created. A Serbian Empire Flag from 1200ies. Nikola Smolenski supplied that small and unrecognisable portion from God knows where and they started firstly with that yellow flag.
Now they have set their minds to a new adventure - creating exactly the same (design wise) flag for Montenegro. Because they do not want to contribute encyclopeadical content, they want to stirr up troubles and fabricize history to meet their agenda.
Clearly you can see that their agenda is showing that Montenegrin people and Serbian people are one of the same. And to colaborate that (by their account even for this day and age - fact) they go to the deepest history where anything could exist or couldn't exist.
Please take this matter under more consideration than just stating that this is not a blatant hoax.
Imbris (talk) 02:43, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- First of all, this is hardly polite and very close to a personal attack. It is true that I based the flag on another one (hey - most maps and flags I created are amended versions of already existing ones, is there anything wrong with that?).
- There is absolutely no "fabricization" of history - the first map was claimed to be used by the Serbian Kingdom in its capital of Skopje during the 13th century (and not the Empire, which existed in the 14th) by Angelino Dulcert, a Mallorcan mapmaker, based on some of the old symbols used by the Nemanyiden realm. That is the 'from God knows where' bit. The latter represents the excessively used and since the proclamation of the Serbian Empire the solely used symbol, which was kept by the local Serbian fiefs, like Despot Oliver in Macedonia and the Montenegrin Crnojevics. During the early 16th century, it was preserved by the Ottoman Empire and recorded in the autonomous Sanjak of Montenegro. --PaxEquilibrium (talk) 22:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

- You may not realise it, but articles that contain mostly material published or written by the company itself - i.e, press releases - are not suitable as reliable sources. As such Trigent Software appears to fail the notability guidelines for companies. A company should have substantial mentions in two or more third-party sources before an article on it is written.

deletion of The International Research Institute for Climate and Society page
Hello, May you please give me some advice on measures to take in order to reinstate the entry for The International Research Institute for Climate and Society? In writing the entry, I tried to model it after other, similar institutions (Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Yale School of Forestry, the Earth Institute, Columbia University, etc.) While I realize that some of the text could be toned down, why did it necessitate a complete deletion?
In an effort to salvage as much of the text as possible, are there sections you recommend to remove in order for the entry to be undeleted? Perhaps the list of publications?
Thank you Fionda (talk) 20:43, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- Preferably the article should be re-written using nothing but discussion of this organisation in third-party reliable sources. In its last version the article was no more than a carbon copy of what could have gone on the organisation's website - not at all in keeping with our notability guidelines. Pegasus «C¦T» 10:58, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick response. I don't quite understand how strongly this should apply to an academic research institution (and how, with the exception of Columbia University's entry, it has applied to the others I listed above). Again, I think some areas could have been toned down. But my intention was to capture what the institution is, where it works, what topics it is concerned with and what it has produced thus far (using the institution's web site, which is the most reliable source of this kind of information). I had hoped that others, seeing the entry, would then add/edit this as they deemed appropriate and in the tradition of Wikipedia. Nevertheless, I am willing to start a new entry and proceed more slowly with its development, but I hope that you can suggest areas of the original that were, in your opinion, salvageable in an effort to save time and energy. Thanks Fionda (talk) 17:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

- You know, people like me work hard to try and make Wikipedia a better place. I have those test pages so I can properly test such tricky templates before I deploy the code. Yeah, I test in my userspace before I deploy, odd isn't it? I created templates like {{pp-meta}} and {{ambox}}, tools that you probably use everyday. (Well, that you use indirectly since they are meta-templates.) And that is why there were copies of {{pp-meta}} on my test page. But having to constantly deal with rude admins like you make this place less worth being in.

According to those notability requirements I meet all of them. Is producing a $200 million box-office hit such an underrated accomplishment ?? You do not understand the motion picture industry, do you ? Paramount, Dreamworks, and FOX aren't the only people that make movies. Overbrook has worked on projects which have grossed over $1 billion dollars. Yes, you never heard about Overbrook but now you have and feel less knowledgeable and are trying to go against my article because you've never heard of Overbrook. You shouldn't be administrator. If you're so good can you tell me what i am missing ? It's just like Bershire Hathaway, people know Warren is the richest guy but the general public doesn't understand what the company does. Now, stop acting like a general citizen.
Ozzaroni (talk) 06:04, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- "Overbrook has worked on projects which have grossed over $1 billion dollars." Where did you get that info from? If you do not state right in the article where you get your information from, no one will take you for it. I could say "Overbrook yesterday fired half of its staff and filed for Chapter 11" and if neither of us give any sources for each of our claims, yours is as good (or bad) as mine. Moral of the story: You must add references into the article for all the information therein. Pegasus «C¦T» 07:01, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I know Overbrook has worked on projects that have grossed $1 billion dollars because I subscribe to showbizdata and they have the exact box office of the projects that Overbrook has worked on. ALso, i am an avid movie watcher and i don't think Overbrook is credited in the credits for no reason. Even if they are a janitorial company they have still worked on projects grossing over $1 billion dollars because they are credited by the filmmakers, now if you want to go to the extent of where i watch my movies and "the movie is not a reliable source"....i'm not going there.
Ozzaroni (talk) 07:29, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- "I know ... because I subscribe to showbizdata and they have (the info)". My point exactly. The only way to convince people that you're not making things up is to say in the article where you got your info from (you know how to do it already). I.e. in this case it came from showbizinfo.

Did you just have to pick my artcle ? You've had a problem with my contributions ever since i started. do you not like the name "ozzaroni" or something ? Or do you not like the fact that i write about subjects you don't like ?
Very few articles in wikipedia have "references...for all the information" Is the Biography channel not a reliable source? How do you cite a TV show or a news channel, or events you have seen first hand ? If you need me pointing this articles out, ask me. Seriously ! For example check this article out, "Blank cheque" how many sources ? 0. Is it just companies and people that need citations ?
Ozzaroni (talk) 07:45, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- I do not know who you are and I have nothing personal against you, neither do I dislike your edits just because they are yours. I look for references for every article I encounter.
- If you find articles with no references that simply means no one vigilant enough to check for the presence of references - and complain if there are none - has stumbled on the article yet. It doesn't mean we allow it. Just like real life, a thousand robberies committed do not make robbery legal. All Wikipedia articles need citations, and you can add {{unreferenced | article | date = March 2008}} to any articles you encounter, that do not have any. Pegasus «C¦T» 08:39, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
does everything on wikipedia need references from web sources ? don't first hand accounts count or television references count ?
like movies, most movies, you have to watch them to know what goes on in them. you can't write an article based on Ebert's online reviews or "user" written reviews from IMDB?
Or if i attend a press junket, can't i talk about what the producer's told me. and how would i cite that ?
Ozzaroni (talk) 03:13, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
- You cannot mention the info unless it has been previously mentioned in published sources (online or offline does not matter). To mention details in a movie article that can only be obtained by watching the movie itself is original research, which is proscribed. If you went to a press junket, you can mention whatever made to a newspaper, or similar published source. Pegasus «C¦T» 03:45, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Vedette SS article deletion error
Pegasus, you recently speddy-deleted without discussion two articles that concern me. One was my personal user page, of wich i misunderstood the purpose when i did it. I understan now, after you left this msg (According to our user page guidelines, user pages should not consist mainly of non-Wikipedia-related material). So, i agree you are right on that one.
Sadly, you mistakenly erased the article for Vedette SS becouse it was linked to that article. Vedette SS wasn't created by me, and it was edited my dozens of people for about a year and a half. Its notability was questioned a year and the resolution of the Administrators was that the article should prevale. Everything needed was provided. Besides the fact that is a band from Argentina, and you are not aware that is notable in this country.
You erased the article based on your sole opinion, without any questions and not even bother to investigate. I'm sorry, but you made a mistake. You are not the first administrator to see that article yet you erased anyway.
Please reply if you can undo it yourself. Thank you. User:Spikedude44 20.15, 15 March 2008 (UTC) 200.127.67.83 (talk) 22:18, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- Vedette SS was deleted according to speedy deletion criteria A7. In other words, it was about a band but had no assertion of the band's notability according to music notability guidelines. To be notable, a band must satisfy one or more of the criteria in the notability guidelines, and there should be two or more reliable sources to confirm that they do. Pegasus «C¦T» 06:07, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Pegasus, I quote "Failing to satisfy the notability guidelines is not a criterion for speedy deletion" and "Notability is met if the musician has been the subject of a broadcast by a media network" Well, Vedette SS was on tv, and i can show you. Just check [6]. There were also reliable sources as non-related websites and awards. Isn't that enough? Spikedude44 11;30, 18 March 2008
- The authorship of YouTube videos is not 100% certain so we can't regard it as a reliable source. There is no other reference in the article that supports your claim that the band has been on TV. In view of this I am reluctant to reverse my deletion. Pegasus «C¦T» 12:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
- Which way do you suggest i can prove to you that the band's been on tv better than taping the actual tv show? You can actually see the tv screen on that link i gave you! And what do you mean by saying there were no "references" in the article? You mean sources or talking about it? I remember the article saying the band went to a tv show. And about the awards, you can find them at [7], which was also listed in the article. As i told you before, many administrators have reviewed this article over the las year and a half and they all agreed that the sources were enough and it had musical notability. What makes you disagree? Spikedude44 11:58, 20 March 2008
- I'm still not sure they are notable, but I've asked the folks on Deletion review to judge whether I was right. You may comment on the review. Pegasus «C¦T» 04:30, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Report of an article that you speedy deleted
CobraGeek is back at his old tricks. He has reposted an article 1998 South Carolina Gamecocks football team that was speedy deleted once before as an obvious attack piece. He has added nothing of substance to the article, merely reposted it to disparage its subject. Your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated. ViperNerd (talk) 01:03, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, thank you for reminding me to reverse my deletion! POV is not a speedy deletion criteria. Pegasus «C¦T» 01:20, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
It wasn't nominated for POV, it was nominated for attack, and was deleted as such. The article is nothing more than a stub which was written solely to disparage its subject. Wikipedia is not merely a repository of information. ViperNerd (talk) 01:23, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- "And was deleted as such" - well now it isn't, so stop harping on that point. At no point in the article is the subject criticised - if a table of players, dates, and venues can be called "disparaging", then surely listing out the GDP and population of the People's Republic of China would be a good way of attacking that country's human rights record. This article is not an attack page and I fully retract the assessment that led to its earlier deletion. Pegasus «C¦T» 01:27, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
How about the point that "a table of players, dates, and venues" doesn't meet the criteria of a Wikipedia article? Just look at the bottom of the "stub," the author couldn't even be bothered to look up the full coaching staff of the team, yet this "article" is so important that he just had to post it on Wiki as quickly as possible? Why the rush? Why not spend some time fully fleshing out a proper intro, and actually putting some information together before throwing something this half-assed up and claiming it will be finished at some nebulous time in the future. Gee, I wonder... ViperNerd (talk) 01:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your exhaustive analysis of the situation. You're right, its a great Wiki article.

I was working on an article about that movie and i put neccesary tags to alert other editors and admins. I can't find it anymore and i never got a notification of deletion. Can you tell me what might have happened to it. It was going to be a good article even though the movie is not out, i was going to write about the problems the production is ecountering. So if you please may help me track and trace the whereabouts of that article and who might have deleted it. If you may, can you please restore it. Thanks.
Ozzaroni (talk) 04:50, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- I deleted it because it was substantially similar to a article previously deleted via AFD discussion - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Brazilian Job. As such I will not restore it myself, but if you head over to Deletion review and make a new request to explain why the article should be restored against the consensus in the AFD discussion, you might get it back.
- Since the concern in the AFD seemed to be that the film had not yet entered production, be well-prepared to provide sources to state this is no longer the case. (I looked on Google News and there does not seem to be any, so be forewarned.) Only then might there be a chance the article will be restored. Pegasus «C¦T» 05:10, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Dear Pegasus,
Could I please query the deletion of the recently added DBAM Systems article?
As the name "DBAM Systems" appears on Wikipedia when searching for things such as "Network traffic measurement", we thought that an artcile on who the company was very much had a place on the site. In support of this, many of our competitors are on the site, as are the majority of IT industry companies, many of which carry their own logos and given far more in depth discussion of their products, who they are for and what feature sets they have. Furthermore, the text written was purely a Company Overview piece, and not a part of marketing material.
As such, I was wondering what the difference was with our piece and those of other companies and/or what we need to do to our article to have it restored.
If you would like a list of example of "other" companies, I'm happy to have a discussion with you offline.
Many thanks in advance.

- "the text written was purely a Company Overview piece, and not a part of marketing material." I hope you're not saying that with a straight face. Phrases like "a leading provider of ... solutions", "the ... range of devices is the solution of choice for users", and "founded on the vision of being the leading global supplier" are standard advertising-speak, not neutral prose by any standard, and have no place in Wikipedia. In addition there is no assertion that this company satisfies our notability criteria. Pegasus «C¦T» 04:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Pegasus,
I wish not to decend into patronising speak, but merely ascertain exactly the reasons why the article was deleted and what I need to do to have it re-instated. For the formation of the piece I read through (amongst others) the "Microsoft" entry for inspiration. This itself uses phrases such as, "key visions is "to get a workstation running our software onto every desk and eventually in every home"."
In short, am i able to remove the quotes you have taken in your above response and re-post for a second review?
Thanks in advance.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:MelLastman.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:MelLastman.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:15, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I am trying to understand why my article (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=Houseplans) got deleted, under CSD A7. I put in quite a bit of historic information that I dug up from all over the web. It definitely has as much of a right to a page, as other companies in the same California County (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Companies_based_in_Marin_County) , which has wiki pages, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joyent Jacquesventer (talk) 23:00, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- It did not state how the website is notable according to the notability criteria for websites. The website itself must be notable; being in the same geographic location, featuring the same topic, or being owned by the same owner, as another notable website does not automatically transfer notability.

I'd like to request that the article be recreated, and I will reform it to be less advertisement-ish. For example, I can tell you, right now, they are involved in a lawsuit. And they're on the bad end of it. Due to this, they've cut back on quality, forcing franchises to fend for themselves basically. I guess you could call this an inside job, but I will try my best to equalize any good points I make with bad ones. I do not have sources for these, as I am afraid this is not 'public' except to those of us who own/are in a family that owns a franchise. If you deny this, I will not pursue any further.

Deletion of Epiphan Systems Inc. article
The article I created about Epiphan Systems was deleted due to "blatant advertising" but I would like to know exactly what is the reason. Epiphan is not only a major player in its' niche market, but also a pioneer that evolved an entire industry. This is the first company that was able to use precompression in order to achieve a transfer rate of 330MPixels/s over USB bus, which was previously unheard of. Epiphan Systems is also the founding block of real-time remote ultrasound, or telemedicine. In fact, its devices are being used on Mount Everest in order to broadcast real-time patient status back to the ground. You can read about it here: Canadian Mount Everest Medical Operations Expedition . Epiphan Systems is truly a unique company that has been able to not only create an entire "high resolution frame grabber" industry, but also the only company to provide life-saving telemedicine applications. Do you want a more encyclopedic re-write of the article or is there another fundamental reason why my article on Epiphan Systems is deleted? Eurovictor (talk)

Gothic (Gothic Multimedia Project)'s deletion
Hi, on November 6, 2007, you deleted the page I uploaded many months before because of a supposed copyright violation (in relation to the gothtronic.com site), suggesting also that the page concerned a nn-band. Well, I'd like you could pay attention to two tough facts: 1) I'm the owner of the gothicdimension.com website where the gothtronic's bio is taken from, without my explicit permission. So there was no copyvio by my side. Quite the opposite. 2) I don't know the criteria in order to distinguish a "notable band" from a "not notable" one, nevertheless the Gothic Multimedia Project is one of the very few multimedia projects actually thriving in Italy. Btw if the term "notable" means commercially successful to you, yes, the Gothic Multimedia Project released worldwide no more than 1000 copies of its last opus... and the wikipedia is full with bands/artists who have released less than 500 copies. Coming to the core: I ask for the page above mentioned could be uploaded again since it does not violate any copyright term(I'm the owner of the "incriminated" Buried Lithanies' image too) and it refers to a relevant multimedia project, one of the very few ones from Italy.

See these:

I'm told that (eventually) the images will be removed from upload.wikimedia.org, though this may take a while. While having an image for the software is certainly beneficial to the site, I'm reluctant to make it easier on spammers, especially by hosting an image that they may easily link to. My sincere apologies for deleting your screenshot, though.

I have tried putting in a {prod} tag thing which was just deleted and then a proposal for speedy deletion - which I used in appropriately I think. I have also written notes on the page's dicussion page and on Economic Growth discussion page. But these tag things I don't really undertand.
