FUCK YOU , DELETING MY PAGE AGAIN YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

M. Griffin - More That One Famous Person With That Name

Proposed deletion of M. Griffin (disambiguation) - great, propose it, but don't then go delete it without a discussion. End get someone who follows music to review this.

There is more than one "M. Griffin". One's a coach, and the other a very well-known ambient musician and founder and co-owner of Hypnos - look it up, plenty of references - that has put out over 100 CDs since it was founded. Mike needs an entry just as much as Robert Rich, who put out four releases over six years on Hypnos.

If that's not justification enough, you need to let someone who knows Hypnos and Robert Rich review this and decide if it should be deleted. You're probably just a sports person. That's fine, and I'm not changing the coach's page, just adding a disabm. page and a short entry for the musician.

In the independent music community, M. Griffin is well known and respected. I am just trying to make an entry for him, so that people interested in Hypnos and over a dozen, well-reviewed CD releases. I have no doubt that most people interested in music could give a darn about some dead football coach.

So I am just trying to create a disambiguation page to be able to point to both "M. Griffin" people.

Isn't that the WHOLE POINT of the disabm. page?? WinkJunior (talk) 02:02, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Classical Esther Silverherb

Thank you, noq, for your very kind message. I am very obliged to you, and may I please have the honor of your acquaintance? How may I ask questions to you ect? I know nothing of the computer, and I hope writing on the talk page in this fashion is not a mistake or a liberty. My first wish is to be a good Wikipedian, but I have no idea how. Please help! And once again, thank you. Please contact me! It shall gratify me unspeakably. Again, thank you, and goodbye!(UTC) p.s. what does (UTC) mean anyway? @.@ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Classical Esther (talk • contribs)

Leicester Mercury edit

Hi Noq - I have edited something you added to the Leicester Mercury page. Your edit suggested that the Mercury is now produced in Nottingham. That is not true. Only a very small part of the back-end production was moved to Nottingham in April 2009. The vast majority of staff remain in Leicester. All writing, editing and proofing is still done in Leicester, as is the design of all major pages. Photographers and feature writers are all based in Leicester.

I hope this helps.

Maxime Médard modifications

Sorry to respond 4 months late. About the Maxime Médard modifications I made which were reverted (nicknames: Max la Menace....etc), I don't understand the "vandalism" accusation: these are actual nicknames given to him here in France, and appearing in the french wiki version.

Deletion of Leathermarket JMB article

Hi - I've just got back from holiday and discovered you've proposed the deletion of the article Leathermarket JMB about a fortnight ago.

Have you gone and deleted this already? Jpmaytum (talk) 13:00, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was deleted per discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leathermarket JMB (2nd nomination). noq (talk) 13:06, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - have just found the discussion. For some reason the second nfd discussion link didn't work in my first notification. Jpmaytum (talk) 13:09, 22 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Indoor tanning lotion for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Indoor tanning lotion is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Indoor tanning lotion until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. --Gh87 (talk) 04:15, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sonny Bill Williams

I do not understand why you undid my edit for SBW. The dispute resolution page you linked me to neither show that the dispute has been closed or that the dispute has been definitively settled. Please explain your action. Perhaps i have misunderstood you. In the meantime i will revert your edit. Thanks.Suid-Afrikaanse (talk) 08:50, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you find anyone that will back up your position? The discussion at DRN is overwhelmingly against your argument with only you arguing in favour. Rather than disrupting Wikipedia by insisting that your interpretation is the correct one and everyone else is wrong, why not just accept that the consensus is against you on this until a better source can be found. noq (talk) 09:05, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Noq that consensus is very much against you. We should not have possibly misleading information in the encyclopaedia and I will revert it back to the previous version. I suggest you spend your time searching for a better source to back up the claim. If you keep reverting you may end up blocked for edit warring. AIRcorn (talk) 09:26, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ERPNext

Hello.

OK - first thanks for volunteering to keep wikipedia sane and I totally respect your opinion to mark my page for deletion. But before you do, I hope you take some time out to hear out my case because I think you may have missed something.

Notability: This page is the de-facto listing of Open Source ERP softwares and very important for any Open Source project like us.

Why we qualify?

Fairness: Please have a look at some other ERP pages and see if they also fit the same critiria you are using to mark this.

Please compare:

  • Please see what community they have
  • Please find out how active is their development
  • Do they have a working demo? If yes, is it just scaffolding or something real

Neutrality: Since I am the creator of this project, I may be biased, but if you look at the page, I have tried to keep opinions out of it and have also listed some of the weaknesses of the project. Like lack of automated testing. For your info - I have seen other projects and 90% don't even have any test case.

I will ask some other members of our project community to update this page. But I would request you to look at my case with fairness.

Thanks, Rushabh


Hi Rushabh, Here are some links that I think you ought to read:
  • WP:notability - The general notability guidelines. Note the reasons you have given above are not included.
  • WP:reliable sources - We need significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Not just mentions in a list.
  • WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - just because another article exists that might not meet the guidelines is no reason for this to exist.
The important part is the sourcing and notability. As someone has already noted on your talk page, editing pages that you have a WP:conflict of interest with is generally discouraged and it is far better to wait until the project has reached a level that it is being noticed more widely in which case someone else would create an article about it. noq (talk) 15:52, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Hello Noq,

Thank you for your response. I understand that we have not received significant coverage. Infact the last time the page was deleted, I did not protest and thought the same, let time decide.

But recently a few people in our community told me about the page and I checked the other listings. If you look at many of the other listing, they are far lesser projects than us. So I thought I must atleast put up a (small) fight. This page is really the de-facto page on search engines and it will be great disadvantage for us not to be listed.

I agree it does not meet the criteria, but if half of the other pages are removed like Tryton, fedena, smbleger, heliumV (etc) I have no problem. I just ask you to be fair - all projects must have a level playing field.

Thanks!

suggestion

Hello Noq, sorry for the frequent messages. I just thought a bit more and have an idea. Why not allow all open source projects to be listed at List of ERP software packages and only those with "significant coverage" to be allowed a page.

We can also separate "new" open source projects from the mature ones, so visitors can decide for them selves. This way, all projects get a fair listing and we also keep wikipedia's sanity.

If you say yes, I can do the change.

(The reality is that the "significant coverage" is a self fulfilling concept. List of ERP software packages is the #1 search result and all listed projects will get more and more coverage.)

Thanks!

Rushabhmehta1 (talk) 16:31, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am not the person who will ultimately decide whether the article is kept or deleted. As you yourself have just said it does not meet the criteria I would expect it to be deleted. Wikipedia is not for advertising or giving coverage to something that would not otherwise get it. You are still arguing that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS which will get you nowhere - if you believe that these pages do not meet the guidelines you are free to nominate them for the deletion - but there existence in no way makes your page less of a deletion candidate. noq (talk) 17:14, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Marked as Patrolled

Hi there, Noq. Just a little request. It seems that Twinkle, quite annoyingly, doesn't mark pages as patrolled even when you tag them for WP:CSD, WP:PROD or WP:AFD. I've just come across two articles, that you'd tagged for WP:PROD on the unpatrolled list. I'm sure you already know, but if you scroll down to the bottom of the article, there will be a little link in square brackets that says [mark this page as patrolled]. Clicking that means it'll get taken off the unpatrolled list and so no-one else will come across it on that list. It's not your fault, I know; it's Twinkle's. But until they fix it, it'd be great if you could click that link just before you tag an article. I've marked that one as patrolled. If you didn't find the article via the new pages list then just ignore me; you won't have had the option to mark it as patrolled. Sorry to be a pain. Keep up the good work. — Fly by Night (talk) 17:30, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Emir Hot

Hello Noq. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Emir Hot, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: claims of notability e.g. "the best ex-Yugoslavian metal record" that seem reasonable. some sources exist too. Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 14:29, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Marked for Deletion

Hi noq, I just published my first Wikipedia article and received a notice about a pending deletion. It seems you have jumped to the conclusion that this was an autobiography, but I am not sure why that is. It occurs to me that my username has the same first name (although spelled differently) and the same last initial as the subject of the entry; however, this article is not about me. I do not think I have done anything quite memorable enough to entitle me to an article on Wikipedia. Any suggestions on cleaning things up to avoid this assumption would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Michelem68 (talk) 16:21, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
