Lone Page Deletion

Hey, you put the page for Lone (musician) up for speedy deletion. Lone is an artist signed to Dealmaker records, who has released 2 full-length albums. Read here to find out more: http://www.dealmakerrecords.com/artists_detail.asp?id=24 I fail to see what was wrong with the article, seeing as how I used as many sources as possible, from various places over the internet, including his official myspace. Please let me know what I can do to fix it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Goaliedudegreg (talk • contribs) 03:16, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Take look at notability criteria for bands. It appears they fail the criteria. You need to provide verifiable , independent, third-party references. Let me know if you have any questions. ttonyb1 (talk) 03:21, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FYI: Clearing of the CSB tag on Eddie Chuculate

Hi,

I noticed you cleared the User:CorenSearchBot tag from the above, noting that the source was GFDL. Unfortunately, it is listed as GFDL 1.2 strictly, which is no longer compatible with Wikipedia since June 16th this year. The correct action in such cases would be to rewrite from scratch, as we now have an infringing derivative work. MLauba (talk) 08:43, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message and information, it looks as if I have some reading to do. ttonyb1 (talk) 14:47, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Ron Jackson Show

Hello. Just to let you know that your PROD of the above article has been removed. If you want to take it to AFD, I will support you. The JPS^{talk to me} 22:18, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, already moved to AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Ron Jackson Show. Thanks for the message and the heads up. ttonyb1 (talk) 22:19, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HJSplit

Hi, you recently put an article I started (HJSplit) up for speedy deletion because of "blatant copyright infringement". However, also the link you provided did contain what I wrote, the information I put was available on many sites such as download.com and the official site so I doubt I was infringing copyright. Even though my page has now been deleted, I would appreciate it if you could review your decision or tell me what was wrong with my article since I am new here and would like to contribute to this encyclopedia. Thanks, Elppin (talk) 15:15, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message. It is hard to determine the origin of text on the web. The site that used your text did not show that it was licensed under Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License 3.0 or GFDL, so it was marked as a Copyvio. In order to get past a copyvio, you need to show the original publication and that the publication is licensed for use under the terms listed above. You might want to take a look at donating copyrighted material for use in Wikipedia. If you have any further questions, please let me know. Thanks... ttonyb1 (talk) 15:30, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Biography vs. notable diamond - Shirley Strawn

Hi,

The biography of Shirley Strawn has been flagged for speedy deletion. I placed a hang on in it. Please let me know what criteria the biography needs or whether we should delete the biography and put up another article "Strawn-Wagner Diamond" instead, or perhaps both the bio and the diamond. I have access to interviewing Shirley; is there anything she can provide that would be critical to add?

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Unbiassed (talk • contribs) 16:40, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the CSD tag from the article; however, I would suggest you rewrite the article so it is called "Strawn-Wagner Diamond" instead of Shirley Strawn and focus on the diamond instead of the person. I would suspect, most people would look for the diamond rather than Ms. Strawn. With that said, the article is probably OK as it stands, although someone else may make it for deletion. ttonyb1 (talk) 16:47, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Change title of page - Strawn-Wagner Diamond

How may the title of a page be corrected? In this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawn-wagner_diamond

"wagner" should have a capital "W" as well as the "D" in "diamond".

I have another article that needs the title corrected, so I seek how to rather than someone doing it for me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Unbiassed (talk • contribs) 18:38, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I took care of it for you. ~~Since the article is a copy of Shirley Strawn I am going to forward that article to Strawn-Wagner Diamond.~~ Is there a way to combine the two articles under Strawn-Wagner Diamond? ttonyb1 (talk) 19:09, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

numbers in parenthesis

What do the numbers in parenthesis, for example, (-2,480) or (+21) mean the "my watchlist" page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Unbiassed (talk • contribs) 19:26, 1 August 2009 (UTC) --Unbiassed (talk) 20:50, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They are the change in number of bytes resulting from the last edit. ttonyb1 (talk) 03:54, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Benjamin lee webster

Just taking a short break. Please don't delete this. I'm still working on getting Mr. Webster's info on Wikipedia. Thanks, Thyssen —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vegasproductions (talk • contribs) 03:47, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I only nominated the article for deletion. An admin will review the article and delete if it does not meet Wikipedia criteria. As it stands it will probably be deleted. The article fails to meet WP:BIO. ttonyb1 (talk) 03:51, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ttonyb1, go ahead and delete the article about Benjamin Lee Webster. I read over the WP:BIO and Mr. Webster does not yet meet the criteria (that I know of). Thanks. Thyssen —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vegasproductions (talk • contribs) 04:27, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It has been deleted. Feel free to add it back in when he meets the criteria. My best to you. ttonyb1 (talk) 04:30, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Operation Chihuahua

Please atleast give me a week to update the article its a little tough finding a good number of news on the operation. thank you. Homan05

I only nominated the article for deletion. An admin will review the article and delete if it does not meet Wikipedia criteria. As it stands it will probably be deleted. You may want to create the article in a User/sandbox, edit it there, and when finished upload it to the mainspace. ttonyb1 (talk) 04:55, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tony. Please note that we have had numerous discussions at the village pump and at WT:CSD regarding the problem of people tagging new articles with A1/A3 templates, when the article was just created moments before the tagging. That is the reason {{hasty}} was created, as I used on the article (and which worked in this case), and why at Special:Newpages it states at the top "Please consider patrolling pages from the back of the unpatrolled backlog." There is general consensus that A1/A3s should not be applied to articles almost immediately after creation. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 06:04, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Don't let the anti-deletionists get you down. Keep up the good work. Wperdue (talk) 06:10, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, for the message. Much appreciated. I try to always keep smiling. 8-) ttonyb1 (talk) 06:12, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted as an admin, and caused deletion through tagging prior thereto, probably more than 10,000 "articles". I am as far from "anti-deletionist" as you can get. Coming here and basically saying "don't listen" (to the highly-experienced admin who is heavily involved in structuring our deletion policies) because I must just be a rabid inclusionist is not useful.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 06:19, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deep cleaning breaths may be appropriate here. 8-) First of all, I did not see that anyone told me to ignore you or your advice – what I got from his comment was only not to get discouraged. I appreciate both your comments and Wpredue's comments. If you have an issue with Wperdue, please take it to his user page. Thanks... ttonyb1 (talk) 14:17, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize if I caused drama on your talk page. My comment was meant as lighthearted encouragement and I meant no offense. Attitude is hard to judge in electronic communication. Happy editing. Wperdue (talk) 17:49, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wperdue, no apology necessary. I took your comment precisely as you intended it and again thank you for your encouragement. My best to all. ttonyb1 (talk) 19:27, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ayrton "Gary" Ferreria dos Santos, Jr.

Instead of marking it for deletion, try helping me restore the original article on this man. He is a New York City performance artist, who has been doing his thing for some 15 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheLocalOne (talk • contribs)

Please note that referring to PMDrive1061 as a nobody is not an altitude that will not get you far on Wikipedia. It not only violates Wikipedia guidelines on civility, but is rude and unnecessary. If you wish to get some help, I suggest you remove that statement and create the article in a User/sandbox, edit it there, and when finished upload it to the mainspace. The article currently fails WP:BIO and will be deleted unless the article meets that criteria. If you have any questions after you move, you can ask for help. ttonyb1 (talk) 05:05, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

James Walton Fonteno

Sorry Tony - just learning how to work within Wikipedia... Just saw you wrote me on my user page.

Is there anything else I should do to pass wikipedia standards? There are a number of additional news articles at the local, state and a few at the federal level - just did not have more time to add them tonite and did not want the whole thing deleted before I had time to get back to add them.

Is there enough for now to pass wikipedia notability standards?
