I didn't want to be accused of hounding, so I was going to take Hamed Minhaj to AFD after a few days. Guess you were thinking the same! It appears to be a hoax or entirely unsourced. tedder (talk) 02:09, 2 October 2009 (UTC) |

Hi - I was adding an entry for Carter Jonas - factual and most certainly not advertising. It was deleted before I could include links to the sources: The Times newspaper being one http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/construction_and_property/article4407264.ece You cannot argue that you don't allow companies to have an entry - as you list 'The Coca Cola Company'! I await your reponse. Graham www.carterjonas.co.uk —Preceding unsigned comment added by Grahamholton (talk • contribs) 14:20, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Just a friendly heads up on The Media Kitchen. Per a request at WP:REFUND, I reviewed this article and can't see that it met either of the speedy deletion reasons you listed. The awards section is a claim of importance; although you discussed notability on the editor's talk page, importance, a lower standard, is all that's needed to avoid a speedy deletion. And notability may well be out there -- a quick gnews search gives articles in The Guardian and a number of others, such as AdWeek I also can't see that it met A11 -- if your only issue was the client list (which I advised the editor to get rid of), that's a quick edit, not a substantial rewrite. Naturally, you're free to take it to AfD if you disagree.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:57, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

You deleted the page called Americarpet. However, I believe that the article is unbiased, like it should be. All it lists is the services that Americarpet offers. Furthermore Americarpet has been in business since 1985, which should contribute to its genuineness. Please reconsider your speedy deletion and please answer back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnotherHuman001 (talk • contribs) 17:37, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

05:20, 5 October 2009 Kinu (talk | contribs) deleted "Alpha Trust Investment Services S.A." (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion) goodmorning dear Kinu, please help me out here because my article is first under supervision from another user (Name: Konstantinos Plakidas :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cplakidas ) and then it is erased by you.. i dont really know how that works - i ve already tried to contact the user cplakidas, had no answer though .. can you please tell me what was the Unambiguous advertising ? inside the article is simply stated the nature of the company and the basic data as they are also mentioned in the company's webiste as well as inside other links i ve also referenced. there is no particular reference to returns of the products the company offers, nothing that states advertising.. its simply the company's page.. as there are others of the same sector, like eurobank and alpha bank that have active pages, mentioning the same data as we are trying to. please please tell me what you want me to do in simple english- u guys have phds here.. help us out -the little ones please!! thank you in advance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Didraki 10/12/2009 13:04 Didraki (talk) 10:01, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Dear Kinu thank you for your answer. in fact it the article is a copy of the company's website - of course I wrote the article on the behalf of the company. Additionally I would like to tell you concerning the notability issues, I have attached many independent sources/sites and places where one can find information on the company. For example one of the references of notability was the website of the Greek Institutional Investors (http://www.agii.gr/) where all Institutional Investors in Greece are subscribed- as well as the company I work for. Please tell me what else can I do. I believed that the references I attached to the article were satisfactory as it concerns the notability issues. Could you please provide me with a hint as for what would be ok with you? thank you in advance,User:Didraki 10/16/2009 15:04 Didraki (talk) 12:03, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

You recently deleted a page I created citing that it was a "group or club, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject" fair enough but I ask you how is this page any more or less relevant? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_University_Boat_Club As far as I can see they're pretty similar, I added significant information about the club and a heap full of useful external links about Fencing. I am not here wanting you to reinstate my page, just to give me back the contents so that I can transfer it to a more lenient website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hellyes4cress (talk • contribs) 22:52, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I have noticed that you deleted my page that I recently created. I was working on the page, took a break, and then decided to add more content but then: A page with this title has previously been deleted. After working on it for 10 minutes and adding the data in using Wikipedia's special format, it is shocking to know that the page I worked on had just been deleted with one left click of the mouse, the reason being: Article about a web site, blog, web forum, webcomic, podcast, browser game, or similar web content, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject). The content that I type in was fully related to the website and justified with significance to "master-alligator". I don't understand why it was deleted practically 5 minutes after it was created. Please explain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kpa4941 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Excessive and unwarranted deletions by user Kino

Hello, I was looking at the Wikipedia entry for San Luis Obospo airport ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Luis_Obispo_County_Regional_Airport ). I saw that user "Kinu" had deleted the information for the fixed base operator "Pigs can fly" aviation, with Wikipedia stating: This page has been deleted. The deletion and move log for the page are provided below for reference. 21:14, 24 June 2009 Kinu (talk | contribs) deleted "Pigs Can Fly Aviation" (A7: Article about a company, corporation, organization, or group, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject) As a licensed private and commercial pilot, I can tell you that *some of the most important information* about an airport includes the references to fixed base operators. Therefore your deletion was extremely unhelpful. I also noticed that when linking to the "Kinu" ID that this person has received a number of warnings and suspensions for unwarranted deletions and vandalism. Please consider not simply deleting something that you obviously don't understand the importance of. Fixed base operators are of prima facie importance and significance to pilots who use airports!

Hello: Why did you delete the Falcon Software page so quickly before I had a chance to make a revision???? It was added less than an hour before it was deleted! It was my first entry, and when I saw the speedy deletion tag and read some more, i assumed the main problem was the external links since there are many other Wikipedia entries about companies and their products. So, I went to remove them and it was already deleted! Can I get the original content back to improve it? Rwrowe (talk) 19:17, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Un-protection Request
Hello, I am asking that the Rodney Glassman Wikipedia page be taken off protection. There is a newly written article that I believe meets the standards for Wikipedia and includes more sources then the original article in question. If you would like to review it that can also be arranged. I would like to post the article with all the requirements so that this does not occur again. I would like to resolve this as soon possible.
Mbellovin (talk) 23:57, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- Please provide a draft of the article in your userspace for review, i.e., at User:Mbellovin/Rodney Glassman. If you can also indicate which of the concerns at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rodney Glassman the new version of the article addresses, that would be helpful. Also, as I have indicated before, you have no other contributions to Wikipedia other than the deleted versions of this article. Can you please explain why I should believe that you do not have a conflict of interest and that your sole purpose is not to promote the subject of this article? --Kinu t/c 03:19, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- I deleted the same article when it was reposted in identical form later the same day as the AfD. I would havce said the same at the AfD, but it should have been relisted; there was minimal participation. It would need to be substantially rewritten to be acceptable. It is of course intended as promotion for a political campaign,but the 2 newspaper sources are real enough, and one of them might be independent. Another good one might make it. (This is part of the ongoing problem we are going to have with even minor US political candidates--exhaustive newspaper search will always show something. Newspapers usually cover local politics pretty thoroughly. If we continue to use WP:GNG for this we are accept that the bar will be lower than it used to be--perhaps we will decide to adopt a special rule . ) Wikipedia does not regard AUTOBIO as prohibiting an article--it's just that they are rarely acceptable articles even if the person is notable. An acceptable article would need to focus on the actual notability , which is political. The miscellaneous community activities are not significant--routine for an aspiring politician. (& if he actually wins the Democratic primary & runs against McCain for Senate, there will be good coverage, but that has not yet happened). The academic career is not notable either, and I cannot verify all the information in the Wikipedia article: in particular the " award-winning research both nationally and internationally": I see a reprint at [1], a conference paper in the proceedings of the American Association for Agricultural Education. But I can find no other publications. The Wikipedia article itself is a copyvio of [2] , which is not necessarily a problem because it's his own bio as a city council member for which he presumably can & would give us appropriate permission.
- As Kinu advised, let's see a userspace version. DGG ( talk ) 04:21, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
Here is a revised article that I believe meets your guidelines.
Rodney Glassman is the current Tucson City Council Member for Ward 2 from Arizona. Recently, Glassman was sworn in as Vice Mayor of the City of Tucson.
From Fresno, California, Glassman came to Tucson, Arizona, to take over the family’s ice skating rink in 1997. “I was supposed to be here for a year, but I fell in love with Tucson,” Glassman said.
On Sunday, December 20, 2009, Glassman married Sasha Borsand. The two met in 2007 at the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law. She recently graduated from the University of Arizona with her J.D/M.S (in Latin American studies) this past May. Furthermore, she is a licensed attorney in the state of Arizona.
Education and Professional Experience:
Glassman graduated from The University of Arizona five times. He earned his undergraduate degree in Agricultural Economics and both of his Masters in Business Administration and Public Administration from the Eller College of Management.
In 2005 Glassman completed his PhD in Arid Land Resource Sciences from The University of Arizona. He has published research both nationally and internationally in the area of agricultural education and hands-on learning. In 2007, Glassman graduated with his J.D. from the James E. Rogers College of Law from The University of Arizona and is a member of the Arizona Bar. In the spring of 2009, Glassman was sworn in as a First Lieutenant in the United States Air Force JAG Reserve and serves at Davis-Monthan Air-Force Base in Tucson.
Professionally, Glassman has experience in small business management and holds an Arizona Real Estate license. He has consulted in the areas of community development, relationship building and charitable giving for companies in Tucson. He previously served on the Advisory Board for the Bank of Tucson.
Glassman also served from 2002-2006 as a legislative aide for Congressman Raúl Grijalva, focusing on business and agriculture in the Washington, D.C. and Tucson congressional offices.
City Council Member:
Glassman was elected to Tucson City Council in 2007 at the age of 29.
Glassman has been visiting other Arizona city councils to speak about conserving water through rainwater harvesting. He has become a “driving force” behind a city requirement for commercial building to harvest rainwater and homes use “gray water” for plumbing that makes Tucson the first city to pass mandatory rainwater-harvesting ordinances. Commercial projects will have to collect enough rainwater to supply 50 percent of their landscaping irrigation.
Glassman is rumored to be eying a run for US Senate in 2010 replacing John McCain (Nelson).
Local Community Service:
Glassman is the founder and President of the Glassman Foundation, a community foundation that raises and contributes over $100,000 annually to local non-profits that serve children. It stated in 2002 (Lundin).
He also established an Educational Enrichment Fund Mini Grant. Its goal is to encourage creative projects among teachers in the Tucson Unified School District's Ward 2 schools. The grant will provide funding for special classroom or library projects. Multiple grants of up to $500 can be used without restrictions as to subject matter or emphasis. Glassman serves on the statewide board of the Arizona Legal Services and Education Foundation and the Arizona 4-H Youth Foundation. Previously he served on the Arizona Farm Bureau Federation board of directors.
