Why the delete?

Question 1. Kevin Craft is a division I quarterback who played at UCLA. He is on wikipedia without any issues. He in my opinion is not credible, but if that is all that it takes then why is ex division I quarterback who started for the Oregon Ducks in the same Pac 10 schedule deleted? Salisbury also has a top 10 book out, the transform diet and played pro football after as well as being a top model in europe? Can you please explain the difference between Kevin Craft and Brett Salisbury? I don't understand. I think a page should be started for Salisbury or he should be taken off the deletion list. Tom Kraft has no more credibility than Brett Salisbury. Thank you 24.253.27.16 (talk) 20:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC)Jill[reply]

Please link to the article at issue. Sandstein 21:12, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thank You for looking into this deletion. You can google article after article. Here is the delete after being on wikipedia for 3 years of Brett Salisbury. Again, like Kevin Craft, they BOTH started at Division I schools. Brett at Oregon and Kevin at UCLA. The USA Today shows the scores that Salisbury played in with a google search. Craft is on wikipedia and Salisbury is deleted? It's a double standard. Salisbury is far more credible. http://deletionpedia.dbatley.com/w/index.php?title=Brett_Salisbury_(deleted_23_Aug_2008_at_19:54) Please google Brett Salisbury Model, Brett Salisbury Quarterback, Brett Salisbury Author Transform Diet. Kevin Craft is a division I quarterback and nothing else. Please don't let this hypocracy happen. Thank you Mr. Sandstein. 24.253.27.16 (talk) 21:26, 7 July 2010 (UTC) January 7, 2010, Jill P Here again is the deleted article, I apologize I didn't put the brackets: [[1]] Thank You. 24.253.27.16 (talk) 21:56, 7 July 2010 (UTC) July 7, 2010[reply]

I think I have discussed this previously. Please see somewhere in User talk:Sandstein/Archives. Sandstein 22:47, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have read through the archives that you did write. They are obsolete. 1. The claim was made that Brett Salisbury was not an author. We know this to be un true. His book is available anywhere from Barnes and Noble to Amazon. His book ranks 6th in sales as of January 2010 in the United States [[2]] 2. Brett Salisbury is a ex Divison I Starting Quarterback THE SAME AS KEVIN CRAFT WHO IS ON WIKIPEDIA, THIS WOULD MAKE SALISBURY A DIVISION I QUARTERBACK ON WIKIPEDIA, THERE IS NO FURTHER REASON TO GO ON WITH THE DISCUSSION THAT TOOK PLACE: [[3]] 3. Brett Salisbury is a highly respected model, qualifying him for male models in from america, This article by radio talk show host joyce graff proves the point. She is amongst 18 others verifying this author, model and ex divison i football player, Please read this and listen to radio interview if you need to: [[4]] 4. Kevin Craft remains on wikipedia as simply a division I ex quarterback? Please read his wikipedia article. [[5]] 5. Please explain to me the difference between Kevin Craft and Brett Salisbury? How does Craft qualify to be on wikipedia and Salisbury not? The archive material is outdated and holds no substance. Brett Salisbury is an author, a model (you see the pic of GQ) as well as an ex divison I Quarterback. Please explain the difference, Salisbury in fact started against UCLA at the Rosebowl and is pictured on www.TransformDiet.com in the author tab. This cannot be denied. Please help resolve this as Salisbury by being a Division I Quarterback alone qualifies him to be on wikipedia the same as Kevin Craft. The only difference is Salisbury is a much bigger celebrity. I need your input and for you to take a serious look at this. Thank You again Mr. Sandstein. I know you are fair and balanced and just. Please look and view. This is a verifiable error that can be corrected with you as it takes 10 minutes to verify, Again Thank You for your time. 24.253.27.16 (talk) 23:18, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mr. Sandstein, I have not seen you answer the last question concerning Salisbury. Can you please as you have answered others soon after. Thank you. 24.253.27.16 (talk) 20:10, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't argue with me. I neither know nor care about this guy, I just closed the community deletion discussion. If you want to restore the article about him, first write a userspace draft that clearly meets the requirements of WP:BIO and then seek community consensus for its inclusion at WP:DRV. Sandstein 12:44, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not arguing with you Mr. Sandstein. You don't need to "care" about "this guy." Wikipedia is not about you knowing "the guy" but more if the guy is credible for wikipedia as he is. Your answer is really pathetic. I have lost all respect for you and your credibility with such an answer is completely lost. I will be sure to let the board know just how you handle things and I can see from 11 others you truly have issues with power. Remember the Karma rule mr. sandstien. What goes around comes around. You WILL lose your rights as a wikipedia contributor, I promise you that. 24.253.27.16 (talk) 23:05, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request.

Sandstein, we do not see eye to eye in your admin actions. You have previously blocked me for what I consider bullshit, all that aside I have a request. Please review my "uncivilness" to a user and comment on their "evidence" I attacked them. I am confident this is no where near disruptive, harassmment or offensive. Please block away if you consider these edits over the line. [[6]] Hell In A Bucket (talk) 16:16, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for being late in replying to this. As the content concerning you has now been removed, this would appear to be moot, yes? Sandstein 21:02, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

yes thank you. I had missed the vacation tag. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 22:45, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mehr Lal Soni Zia Fatehabadi

User:Tarun marwaha/Mehr Lal Soni Zia Fatehabadi Sir,I have since managed to include the already listed citations in my article and also established the needful links in accordance with my limited understanding of wiki -procedures.Can I now expect some response from your end;the long wait has already begun to kill whatever interest I have still left in this particular exercise.My appeal is pending with you for nearly two months.I am approaching you because whether to restore or not to restore my article this decision is yours and yours alone.So far,I have not noticed any editor initiating the required consensus process.Thanks. Regards.Tarun marwaha (talk) 09:50, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to restore this article to main space, it is up to you to initiate a WP:DRV discussion. Nobody else will do it for you. As far as I am concerned, the problems identified in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mehr Lal Soni Zia Fatehabadi have not been convincingly addressed. Sandstein 12:41, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
