Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 May 14

Varhaug Idrettslag
I do believe that this sports club have done some noteworthy achievements. Football team played tier two (now tier four), women's handball team aswell (now tier three), mens handball team plays tier 3. Etc. (see deleted talk page). I don't know why the admin is not interesting in discussing the deletion with me, all I want is a serious explanation/discussion why it is not noteworthy. If we look at some other articles, especially for english sports clubs there are many articles there which I can not see have more importance, for example clubs existing for 5 years in the mid 50s playing tier 14 football.
I do aknowledge that England is more important than Norway on the English wikipedia, but I do believe that the club is noteworthy. Olaversterk (talk) 23:12, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

- Women's handball team promoted to 1st division (2nd tier) (Norwegian)

SEVEN Networks
Reviewer deleted this page citing no explanation of the subject's significance and later that the references included were either internal links from the company's website, or from various unimportant other websites. My post contained references to a number of sources including publications such as CNET, Connected Planet (formerly Telephony) and Wireless Week. These are all very respected telecom industry publications. SEVEN Networks’ customers are primarily wireless operators, content providers, and device manufacturers so it is unlikely that publications such as the Wall Street Journal would cover this company at this point, but with more than seven million active accounts and growing, I believe these articles show the company's noteworthiness. With SEVEN Networks' competitors having Wikipedia pages that are far more basic than my post, I request that this page be reinstated. DJADave (talk) 17:52, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- Since no google cache version is visible, please could an admin temporarily restore the page history so we can see for ourselves.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 20:11, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
Simran Sethi
I'm writing about the page for Simran Sethi. There is a message at the top of this page questioning whether she meets the notability guidelines for academics, but Simran is not primarily an academic. She does teach part-time at a University, but her primary accomplishments are in journalism and as a mainstream media figure in the environmental movement.
Her bio is factual and linked to plentiful outside sources——including features about her in Vanity Fair magazine, the Oprah Winfrey Show, the UK's Independent, etc.
Is there some way to have her classified as a notable person, rather than as an academic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.29.10.216 (talk • contribs)
- Comment this isn't really an issue for deletion review as nothing has been deleted. Generally for the sort of tag seen on that page, discussing on the articles talk page is the first point of call. --82.7.40.7 (talk) 20:01, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- Comment I see that the message at the top of the page has, quite correctly, been removed. Those tags are often added by editors who use automated tools to make large numbers of edits very quickly, and accuracy is not 100%.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 20:10, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
