Shenita Moore

Please explain why this page has been deleted (again). There are many references to Ms. Moore's on camera work. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mightymoore (talk • contribs) 19:35, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

It's been deleted five three times by five three admins in the last four months. Have you read this page yet? Gwen Gale (talk) 19:43, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I have. And actually, that's not true, as I've only tried to update this page this week alone. In addition, yesterday the page was restored because approval was given to reuse the bio information. This page has much more information than some, yet you deleted it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mightymoore (talk • contribs) 04:08, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Thrice, anyway and copyright/permission wasn't the worry. Meanwhile, if you've read this page then you know what's needed and what to do. Gwen Gale (talk) 04:10, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Nevermind, it's not that big of a deal anyway... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mightymoore (talk • contribs) 03:14, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Asyraf Awang Besar‎

What point is there to going through with the AFD process for Asyraf Awang Besar‎? It is obviously a speedy delete candidate for non-notable person, and a hoax. The original creator used facebook links masked as NYT and Billboard etc... better to say "we'll squash such nonsense on sight" than "we'll let you play your little games here, removing the afd tag as many times as you want." NJGW (talk) 05:30, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Also, the article has already been deleted once before. NJGW (talk) 05:31, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

It's gone, sprinkled some salt. There was an assertion in there about having sold millions of bottles of perfume but the AfD was very snowy. Gwen Gale (talk) 05:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate you taking a second look. NJGW (talk) 05:35, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Looking further, I've blocked his sockies, too. Gwen Gale (talk) 05:47, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

New NIUST page

Gwen, can you have a look at my sandbox article before I publish it to see if this is within guidelines? Thanks. (Oshndoc (talk) 18:15, 12 January 2009 (UTC))

Done, see National Institute for Undersea Science and Technology, also with a redirect from NIUST. The text could still do with a stronger assertion of notability. Gwen Gale (talk) 18:24, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Laura Ingalls Wilder

Hi there,

I understand that you are going by a published reference. I looked at that reference and there needs to be some clarification about who was paid. My grandfather took a $7500 tax credit for donating the house and 65 acres of land to the non-profit corporation which was actually established by him (Harland Shorter) and Norval Wallen. [redacted] my grandfather did not profit from the house or land.

I don't know if any of this makes any difference, but I wanted you to know that your cited reference was inaccurate.

Jennifer Shorter Jls09 (talk) 01:35, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

See WP:V. Wikipedia articles echo verifiable, reliable sources, not "truth." Given the book is published by the University of Missouri Press, about something that happened in Missouri, that's reliable. Mind, your grandfather may indeed have taken a tax credit somewhere along the way for something linked with all this, but the source doesn't say he did. Until a reliable source shows up to support your assertion (which I know you're making in good faith), it's original research, which isn't allowed here. All the best, Gwen Gale (talk) 01:51, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Miss Pakistan World

Can you just make one line to this name - Miss Pakistan World is the only pageant for Pakistani girls in the world and takes place in Toronto, Canada. References - December 19, 2008 - New York Time Page A30, half page article on Natasha Paracha, Miss Pakistan World 2008. Natasha Paracha featured in the New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/19/nyregion/19bigcity.html?em

December 14, 2008 - Natasha Paracha on CNN Live Sunday at 8:00 PM. Please watch CNN Eastern Standard Time - USA and Canada. http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2008/12/14/coren.intv.paracha.world.cnn?iref=videosearch

There is no need of deletion for at least this line.

Thanks (Sonisona (talk) 03:38, 13 January 2009 (UTC)).

The NYT article seems to bring notability to this topic and I'm willing to see it recreated, but given the past conflict of interest and edit warring worries, only if you agree not to edit the article yourself. Gwen Gale (talk) 03:45, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
