Deleting "Blitzprog"

Hey Deb, I saw you deleted my article "Blitzprog" because of G11, where did you even find the promotion of a product? Maybe you want to delete Python_(programming_language) due to G11 as well then, as it includes as much promotion as my article? Now seriously, I have no idea what the real reason for deletion was. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eduard Urbach (talk • contribs) 18:26, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Thanks for the response. --Eduard Urbach (talk) 14:32, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting "Cwrsync"

Hey Deb, I just saw that you deleted my article "Cwrsync" cause of G11. I am the maintainer of free software Cwrsync and the I've used text from my official Cwrsync web side at http://www.itefix.no/i2/cwrsync. So I have no idea what the reason could be for deletion. Hoping to fix the problem! Best regards.

Tevkar (talk) 21:41, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your feedback, Deb. I have now created a new Cwrsync page according to the feedback. I hope that it will purpose Wikipedia's mission better.

Public Relations Consultants Association

Hi Deb, I created the page which was deleted which I hoped could have been a stub starting point for building up a better and more detailed article about the organisation. Could you offer some advice on how I could have made it better and have avoided deletion? Davidkuczora (talk) 16:28, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My pleasure. That same BBC archive has come fascinating other audio recordings - with Agatha Christie, Hitchcock, Ghandi and many others. Short snippets but it's good to hear their voices close up. Have a good week. Best wishes Span (talk) 17:15, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Informatics Institute

I don't understand why you deleted Informatics Institute. It's one of the largest computer science institutes in The Netherlands. Other Dutch computer science institutes, such as Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica and the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (the latter within the same university!) have pages as well, for several years, as do many other computer science institutes elsewhere on the planet. Please undelete.

If I compare Informatics Institute to other computer science institute articles, the part missing is the history part. Does that make it promotion instead of a neutral article? Not in my view. It makes it a stub. Mderijke (talk) 23:28, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Idiot Boxers

The page you just deleted related to another article that was an orphan page. How is that supposed to change of wiki admins just delete every page that is created, especially if they aren't even finished yet? I was in the process of editing when you deleted the page.--Sonic43 (talk) 21:27, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of Interest

What conflict of interest? I don't know anyone associated with this stuff. I'm just a fan and figured if SModcast and Nerdist have wiki entries, they should too. Congrats and deleting two informative posts, with references per WIKI guidelines. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sonic43 (talk • contribs) 21:35, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Again, look at the posts for SModcast, Nerdist, and /Film. There are ZERO references for the history of their creation. I guess you should delete those too then. But you won't, because Wikipedia is a slave to popularity I guess.--Sonic43 (talk) 00:19, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]


I was so blinded by the concept of Wiki that I didn't think it had been corrupted by the predilections of its admins. I guess its just human nature to dismiss things you don't agree with. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Psychicattorney (talk • contribs) 18:36, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Zelder Paradox

I hope this is the right place to ask about the article on the Zelder Paradox. The article was deleted with this comment: "Not enough context to identify article's subject:virtually incomprehensible" I thought the article followed the style of other articles on paradoxes and theorems in economics, and I included three references from peer-reviewed publications. The article is not about me or my publications. Can you explain your reasoning a bit more? Barkrich (talk) 21:54, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments. I could add references that cite and discuss the ZP, spell out the meanings of the terms you have mentioned, and add links to other Wikipedia articles, such as "Public Goods." If I do, would you reconsider the deletion?Barkrich (talk) 03:39, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have edited the article and placed it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Barkrich/Zelder_Paradox Could you have a look and let me know what you think? Thanks. Barkrich (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:50, 28 January 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Great, thanks for your help and I'm glad you like the changes. I've noticed in articles on other paradoxes and theorems that the authors do not always have articles about them. Perhaps someone will write one about Zelder. I'll post the article and see what happens. Thanks again.Barkrich (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:27, 31 January 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Comment to me

Deb, I apologize for any role I've had in creating bad blood between us. Let's put any past personality clashes we've had aside. I hold you in respect, and I wish to engage with you courteously if you'd do me the pleasure of reciprocating. Regards, Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 15:18, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That was what I was trying to do. You are an admin now, and you need to be more careful about your actions. You can't play games. Deb (talk) 15:33, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You are an admin now too. Your comments towards me both on the naming page and on my own page were aggressive and offensive. It would have been better if I hadn't referred to you, GoodDay and Pat as a 'tag team', but I have since refactored that. If you understand that an article moved 4 months is well over the time usually regarded as necessary for stability, you'll understand why I disapprove of people with one view trying to circumvent the related Wikipedia process through edit-warring. While you may not share my understanding of this, this is why I disapprove ... it is not 'play[ing] games'. Start afresh? Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 15:43, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

PersonData Template Fixes

A handful of Wikipedia pages have indisputably incorrect data in the PersonData template, which is intended for data extraction, and I'm trying to fix these for extraction from future data dumps. Some bots have entered the same date into the "DATEOFBIRTH" and "DATEOFDEATH" sections, including some articles for living people, and sometimes they include the age template even though the Wikipedia:Persondata article says to not use templates. Upon closer inspection, your fix on Katherine Tudor (1503) appears correct; I simply took the value "10 March 1503" from the infobox, which I surmise is incorrect given the reference to her mother's death on 11 February 1503.

David Horvitz

Horvitz is clearly a significant artist. Many shows, exhibitions, and the 241543903 thing on its own would do the trick. Is it because of his Wikipedia based art? Alan Baring Brown (talk) 18:30, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's because of the lack of evidence that he's notable in the article. Deb (talk) 18:32, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
What is required for notability? the 241543903 thing is clearly notable, as is the Wikipedia experiment. I mean, there are hundreds of minor porn stars on Wikipedia, why not a performance artist who now has many exhibitions, and a significant reputation. If I listed the exhibitions, would that help? Alan Baring Brown (talk) 18:34, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly. Deb (talk) 18:35, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You will have to be very clear about what 'possibly' means. Thanks Alan Baring Brown (talk) 18:36, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I recreated the page. I will add a list of credentials later. By all means delete, but if you do, can you please tell me where I can challenge this? What exactly is the text for notability, other than obvious notability?Alan Baring Brown (talk) 18:36, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Add the credentials now, please, because if I don't delete it, someone else will. Deb (talk) 19:02, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I will do that, but I am confused by the 'self published' bit. See Random House. Alan Baring Brown (talk) 19:05, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Then why not put something on the article's talk page? Deb (talk) 19:06, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have mentioned two galleries (he has exhibited at many more), and given references to the two published books. I hope that is enough. Thanks for your consideration. Alan Baring Brown (talk) 19:17, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Howard C. Samuels

Can you tell me why you keep re-naming my article "Howard C. Samuels" When it needs to be "Dr. Howard C. Samuels"? I 1st created the one without the "Dr." by mistake, and whenever I try to move the article to the correct title, you move it back? Why do you do this, and how can I correct this mistake?

Gaston Roelants

Owing to your status as an active wikipedian, I'm not yet reverting your edit to this article. But what sense is it to move his birth location from the birthdate position in line one, to the top of (a newly formed) paragraph 2 which then (continues from the former paragraph 1 subject) takes off on a subject entirely unrelated to his birth? Trackinfo (talk) 17:15, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why you have seen fit to go through a bunch of articles I have initiated, but every one that you have reworked in this fashion, he flow of the article is completely interrupted by the edit. We start most articles with the name and their particulars, if known. Then we explain why this person is important. To rip part of the particulars of their birth location, their origin, out of the parenthesis and placing it into the position of the second or third sentence in the article without any thought is destroying the look of these articles. When the total article, what is significant or publicly known about these people is only good for 5-6 sentences, there is no new place move this to improve the article. Hamstrung to maintain the format you are imposing, for most of these, I can't help. Your edit IS the problem. Most important, its unnecessary. Please find some other articles to mess with. Trackinfo (talk) 18:51, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You referred to an infobox. Several of the articles you edited Gaston Roelants Philipa Raschker Merlene Ottey have no infobox. They might qualify to have an infobox, but you and no predecessor has seen fit to create it. Houston McTear has an infobox, but its still a short article, barely above a stub. What your edits are doing is creating are sentences like: "McTear was born in Okaloosa County, Florida. He recorded an 9.0 mark in the 100-yard dash as a high schooler at Baker School, in Baker, Florida, . . . " and before I added to it "Raschker was born in Hamburg, Germany.[3] She has amassed 68 Gold Medals at the World Masters Athletics Championships . . . " Essentially you are leading the paragraph with something that is unrelated to the rest of the paragraph. Thats just not good english. Unsolicited, User:Epeefleche agreed with this contention. You are spending your time doing edits that are unnecessary and I feel, destructive to the overall presentation of Wikipedia. Trackinfo (talk) 00:28, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Admins are a joke

I saw one deleted page where your moronic lacky's (the crowd who calls for deletions) claimed someone was self published when they had authored a dozen books, some of which were published by fucking Random House. You have turned the Wikipedia concept into a joke, and perhaps have turned it into a tool of the corporate media in suppressing dissenting points of view from what has become the worlds encyclopedia.

Deleting "Conny Czymoch"

Hey Deb, i just saw that you deleted my article "Conny Czymoch" cause of G11. This is article was just a translation of the german version which already exists without any complaints by admins. Are there any facts I have to change for the english version? The article is written as similar as the article about "Maria Bartiromo". Thx for your answer! Ollibrecht — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ollibrecht (talk • contribs) 10:14, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks for your answer Deb. The main links where the most important informations are verifiable are http://www.dw-gmf.de/conference_2010/5264.php, the website of the german tv channel Deutsche Welle TV. This website is also in english and highly independent, not a promotional page, just info.

The second website http://www.phoenix.de/content/702.htm (sorry, just german) is the site of the german tv channel Phoenix, one of the most important News Channels in Germany. Also third-party and not promotional, including the complete CV of Conny Czymoch.

By the rest of the sites, I can imagine that it might seems of promotional pages, but there are just a plus on reference, not the base for the information. Please give me a feedback if these informations can change your decision. Conny Czymoch is a very popular news anchor in Germany and wellknown, so I think there exists a high relevance for this article.

Articles on Spooks Characters

Hi, Deb--

I'm a real newcomer to participating in Wikipedia, and a relative newcomer to the show Spooks/MI5. I have a question I hope you can answer. I've been making edits to some articles on former Spooks characters, like Zafar Younis and Danny Hunter, trying to move them away from "in-universe" style and add references. But once this is done, who decides when or if the tags (?) at the top of an article--I mean those banners that name its problems--get removed? Likewise with categorizing an article as a stub, which seems pretty inconsistent (the articles on Zafar Younis and Danny Hunter are called stubs, but not the one on Helen Flynn, which is shorter).

There doesn't seem to be much activity around articles on these older characters (not surprising, I guess). I noticed you were making edits on a couple of them this past fall, which is why I'm getting in touch with this question. I'll also contact a few other folks making edits on character articles in the past year or so.

Thanks, Anmilgan (talk) 23:13, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of The Saint, Asbury Park, NJ

Hi Deb, You deleted The Saint, Asbury Park, NJ at 12:00 today while I was trying to make improvements. Surprised, I didn't know what to do, so I reverted the page and it lost its history. I would like that reverted if possible. It had only been marked for deletion at 8:03 am today. The Saint's role in the music scene is documented with credible sources (even the NYT). I actually tried to find negative information on The Saint, but only found that it was small (noted that) and a dive (but that was only verbal, so I couldn't use that). It's a rock n roll club. Most are dives. I would like some more time to make any requested changes. I have already deleted some statements. Let me know what else you would like changed. Thanks. Smm201`0 (talk) 14:06, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back to me. I have already deleted some positive content, but the problem is that I am basing the article on credible sources that so far only say positive and neutral things. I can't even find any articles on ABC violations for this place. I am trying to report what my sources say in an accurate manner. Can you be specific about what else you would like to see removed? I may have removed enough at this point. Thanks. Smm201`0 (talk) 17:05, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Margaret Rozga

Hi Deb,

I'd like to request undeletion of the page Margaret Rozga. She is a colleague of mine and was a key movement in the Milwaukee civil rights movement. Her late husband has been the subject of a wikipedia article for some time, and we will eventually be linking her page to his. She is also a published poet. As she retires, several of us are collecting information to be added to her page. I recall seeing a message about needing more sources, and we have been in the process of gathering this. We are simply moving a bit slowly, as we have been asking others who know her work and contributions to identify source materials and links to use. This is not a promotional page, but one describing her contributions/--Ctaylor64 (talk) 03:30, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deb - regarding Multiblitz deletion

I am the original author of the article Multiblitz and promoted the brand maybe a little too much. Nevertheless, the article about one of our competitors Profoto shows strong similarities, if not less content. I would appreciate you could take a second look and maybe give me the opportunity to change it and bring it into a proper article form. The brand and company Multiblitz is well worth of an Wiki-article - probably written by an inexperienced newbie. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wulmserine (talk • contribs) 14:38, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete the page about Kevin Hufnagel?

Why did you delete the page about Kevin Hufnagel? He is in major bands such as Dysrhythmia and Gorguts, currently signed to Relapse, has released tons of albums etc.

Readin previous comments, deleting articles for no good reason seems to be a common theme in your presence here. Kingofthosewhoknow (talk) 12:24, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whenever you are ready... Kingofthosewhoknow (talk) 07:48, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
WP:Notability (music)#C6 lists "a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles" in its may-be-notable criteria, and again "Members of two notable bands are generally notable enough for their own article".
Kevin Hufnagel seems to pass those indicators, and the three listed notable bands and several album releases are certainly enough to pass the lower "indication of importance" threshold asked for by WP:CSD#A7. Please undelete that article, and bring it to AfD instead if so inclined.
Cheers, Amalthea 07:50, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article did not contain the references and links required to make an assessment of notability. Deb (talk) 11:17, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The article named three notable bands, and stated the claim that he is famous for being a part of them. Notability is not a requirement to pass A7. References or links are not a requirement to pass A7. Amalthea 11:39, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I beg to differ. But I have no problem with you re-creating the article, as long as the necessary links and references are in place. Deb (talk) 11:50, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
