I have spent the last 90 minutes bringing the article up to code and feel I have shown definite notability since its DVD release of last May. Might you suggest anything else I might add? Thanks, Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:45, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Have started a series of edits designed to upgrade/improve the article. In answer to your comment the band satisfies criteria 1 (has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works); 4 (has toured nationally and internationally); 6 (has releases on a major label or major independent label); and 7 (is prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city) of WP:MUSIC. Will continue to work on the article and add appropriate references. Dan arndt (talk) 08:12, 19 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with you about the lyrics - not certain why they were posted on the article - was just starting my edits from the beginning of the article and working my way through. Dan arndt (talk) 01:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy

In summary, I've proposed pretty much putting it as a branch from your user page so that it can be further worked on and polished up. It's typically a good alternative to merely erasing an article outright, especially when there's potential for there to be a viable article.

--Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 05:21, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Since the page was recently deleted, would it be possible to revive the last revision and userfy (as a branch from my user page) as you proposed?

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Roslyn Fuller

Thanks for your comments on the delete page. This is one of the first pages I have ever added to Wikipedia and I am a bit confused. I have had a look at notability, verifiability, reliable sources, and biographies on living persons but I still don't understand why this will be deleted. The article has a lot of offline and online sources and Ms. Fuller is quite known as an arts model in Ireland, so I am not sure what else to add to avoid deletion. Thanks for your help!Abraedt (talk) 21:18, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's already an AFD going for the page. Somebody had removed the tag again. Eeekster (talk) 01:34, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Helpme: CSD and AFD

I'm seeing some controversy. General rule I've seen is that, if an article in WP:AFD somewhere clearly (to the viewer, at any rate) is something that is more easily handled in WP:CSD, then it's fine to tag it with one of the many {{db}} tags for later disposal. However, I see three things happening: 1) the article is speedied and the AFD is closed, 2) The CSD tag is removed to allow the article through AFD (sometimes understandable, as this process also allows for future {{db-repost}} tags to be used if necessary), or 3) somebody claims it's policy. Vandalism removals of the db tags is not counted here, as this doesn't enter into the picture.

In the case of 2, like I said, I kind of understand this sometimes - there are cases where it's felt the requirement of a G4 speedy will be necessary, but even that I see is a fine line - is it not possible to close a AFD as speedy, then if it reposts, G4 the article later?

As for 3, that's simple: is there really such a policy in Wikipedia at this time? I bring this up owing to this comment, which came up some time ago (and was just me with a case of boldness), as well as the occasional note from people who seem to believe that this is actual policy. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 05:58, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If (ideally more than one editor in the AfD) feels that an article can be speedied, then it's not uncommon for someone to tag the article with the appropriate criteria; if an administrator agrees, then they'll close the AfD as well. If the administrator does not agree (generally because they feel it doesn't meet the criteria) they'll remove the speedy and will usually note the removal at the AfD. A G4 speedy cannot apply to any article that has not previously gone through an AfD. G4 only applies to recreated articles, where the recreated article is exactly or substantially the same as the discussed and deleted version. As for 3), I'm not sure what's being claimed as policy from your question, but in the link you provide, you had re-added a speedy tag after a speedy deletion for that same reason had already been declined. I don't believe there is any particular policy regarding this, however re-adding declined speedy templates intentionally can be seen as disruptive. Hope this helps.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Slaughter Disc

I found seven reliable sources with significant coverage. Joe Chill (talk) 02:20, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Louis Lesser

I have the original June 30, 1963 "Annual Report" of Louis Lesser Enterprises. Mr. Lesser is accused of being a "hoax". He is the man Donald Trump called "The Legend". Please see here [1] on Barrington Plaza. The Annual Report is where I got most of my information. But it is not online. HkFnsNGA (talk) 19:02, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if you've seen but the creator of the article is clearly having a laugh now. "believe it or not, [he] met Trump when Trump was in the bathroom of a restaurant unzipping another old man's pants, and pulling out the old man's penis. Lesser said, "Dont say it like that, it makes me sound like I'm queer." The old man was Trump's 94 year old father, and Lesser was 83. Lesser bet Trump a dinner he was older than Trump's father, and Lesser lost." Hazir (talk) 21:33, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hazir, that is a story Louis Lesser told me. It is a true story, but on the AFD page, I did twist it into a humourous story. When I told it as a joke, Louis Lesser got mad. He did not get mad that I made it funny. he got mad that I made Lou lesser sound bad, not Donald Trump (shows Lesser is a bit self centered, eh?) But Louis Lesser told the story as being that Donald Trump was an honorable man who cared for his aging father, unlike most Americans, who stick their parents in assisted living and steal all their money. I am the one who made the story sound funny, not Louis Lesser, but I did NOT write this in the article, just on the AFD page. You left out the part about how Trump ended up buying the Taj majal, and another Atlantic City property, from Louis Lesser, as a result of the dinner. This can all be verified by the New Jersey recorders office. I did not put it in the Wikipedia article since I have not yet verified it. HkFnsNGA (talk) 03:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was about to stomp all over the guy for a hoax article, but "louis lesser" in a Google News archives search returned quite a bit. It's all PPV, but it appears there's some fact to this article. DarkAudit (talk) 02:42, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dennishte2, I am writing this here so as not to embarass you. I called Louis Lesser. He described in detail flying BOTH Ferdinand AND Imelda Marcos to Hawaii, while Ferdinand was alive. Lesser owned Hawaii hotels, but they did not stay in Lesser's hotel. But Lesser described that he helped put on the funeral. EVERYTHING Lesser has told me has turned out to be true, no matter how weird. I checked, and even on Wikipedia, it verifies Mr. Lesser's story, that Marcos was interred in Oahu, Hawaii. Maybe his body got moved. Louis Lesser says he does not know. Please check out the Wikipeida article on Marcos, and please apologize for calling me and Mr. Lesser liars. Better than an apology, please help write the article. I gave the GOogle news Archive link to hundres of news stories, just on the American companies. HkFnsNGA (talk) 03:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia verfies what Louis Lesser told me - "The Marcos family and their associates went into exile in Hawaii, USA and were later indicted for embezzlement in the United States. Marcos died in Honolulu on September 28, 1989, of kidney, heart and lung ailments. He was interred in a private mausoleum at Byodo-In Temple on the island of Oahu". This is fro the Wikipedia Ferdinand Marcos article. Maybe you have in your mind that something is wrong, and can not see beyond that, but please take back calling Louis Lesser a liar. He is not, and EVERY story he has told me has checked out, unless the Wikipedia artoicle is wrong, but it is a very old article. Please reconsider, and instead of stomping on my article, which was in construction, while I did the sources, maybe you can help improve it with sources, rather than calling me names. Rather than apologize for calling me a "fraud" and a "Hoax", and all the other names people are calling me, read some of the hundreds of articles on Lesser in Google news archives, and help write the article, and make it better.

Tagging of Tarbabe

You tagged Tarbabe for speedy deletion as a test page, but IMO it is not a test page, but a (rather poor) article about a probably non-notable subject. I don't see tha tit fits any of the WP:CSD. Surely your replacement reason of "Does not appear to really explain anything, but is not nonsense" is not a valid speedy deletion reason. I have therefore declined the speedy deletion request, and restored the prod tag. Please be careful to use speedy deletion tags only where they strictly apply.

Bahgat Group

Why did you tag the article with speedy deletion? it has sources already. Mohamed Magdy, Thank You! (talk) 15:46, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removing of prod

I see you removed a prod notice from Tarbabe with the edit summary "Removed prod, it's already in speedy". I am well aware that it is not common practice for an article to have proposals for two different deletion mechanism in existence at once, but it is sometimes useful to do so, and there is, so far as I am aware, no policy or guideline which forbids or even discourages doing so. Perhaps the commonest reason for this is that an article has been nominated by prod or AfD, and an editor thinks that it is in fact suitable for speedy deletion. If the article really does warrant speedy deletion then to give up the possibility of doing so just because some other editor has made a less appropriate choice would be unreasonable, whereas to remove a prod notice risks at best delaying the start of the seven days period if the speedy is declined, and at worst leaving an unsuitable article undeleted, if the original tagger does not notice the detagging and come back. In the case of an AfD the possibility of removing it does not even arise. The present case, where it was the speedy tag that came first, is less clear cut. However, it seems to me that in a situation where a speedy deletion proposal seems very doubtful there is no good reason to object to leaving it there in case it succeeds, but also placing a prod in case it fails. I have done this from time to time, and nobody has ever objected before.

If you still think that the presence of a speedy deletion tag is an adequate reason to remove a prod notice then that's fine: there is room for differences of opinion. However, I thought it might be helpful to let you know that this was done because of a rational decision, not by error. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:11, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy tagging

Hi. Thanks for tagging What are pokemon just now, but after you tag a page for speedy deletion you should copy to the author's talk page the warning which is generated for you on the speedy template, towards the bottom. Otherwise the newbie author doesn't know what's happened, thinks he pressed the wrong button, and often just puts the article in again. Also, if it's a new contributor who has never had a Welcome template, it's useful to give one before the speedy warning - it makes it less BITEy, and gives useful links that may help him do better next time. {{subst:firstarticle|<article name>}} is a good one.
