Død Beverte
Hello good sir! I was simply curious if you would be able to re-evaluate and close WP:Articles for deletion/Død Beverte (2nd nomination) at this time. BusyWikipedian (talk) 16:57, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- I was just coming to make the same request. I think it's been up long enough that either it has consensus or it isn't going to get it. I'm WP:INVOLVED as I've advised the main page creator on ways to improve it and its sister article, Dethcentrik, so I definitely can't close myself. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:32, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- I'd rather someone else closed it; the fact that I closed it once already and then reopened it might caused me to be biased. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:58, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for your honesty. I will leave a good remark on your Administration review page, as admittance of bias is not easy BusyWikipedian (talk) 06:29, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

deletion of POCOS project page
Hello, I do not quite understand why the POCOS project wikipedia article had to be deleted. The page summarised an ongoing project which makes a difference in the field of digital preservation. It definitely listed more sources than the articles on digital preservation I had a look at and which still reside in wikipedia. Quite disappointing - the last workshop on preservation games featured Ian Livingstone and Daniel Pinchbeck which are both on wikipedia. If you have a policy apply it consistently - otherwise delete all in the digital preservation domain with the same arguments - this is really disappointing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.28.24.245 (talk) 22:55, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
- Please take a look at the discussion which led to its deletion. If you have sources that are independent, reliable, and have significant coverage of the subject, then please list them below and I will consider restoring the article. Also, if you think other similar articles should be deleted, then feel free to nominate them for deletion at Articles for deletion. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:48, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Sockpuppetry and soliciting !votes
Hi King. You closed an AfD some time ago that appears to have been plagued with sockpuppetry and the solicitation of !votes outside of wikipedia.
The AfD was Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sadegh Malek Shahmirzadi.
You can see the solicitation, by Jigsawnovich, here.
In addition, Bachemosbat -- who !voted Keep at that AfD, and left the longest comment -- has just been determined to be a sockpuppet of Jigsawnovich, and blocked indef.
Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:17, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
- Are you kidding me? You are digging up an AFD that was closed in August of 2010? There were no delete votes outside of the nominator and it wouldn't have been possible to discredit the keep !vote of Bachemosbat since he wasn't confirmed as a sock until today. And you can't honestly expect an administrator to comb the internet to discover that there was some solicitation. I find nothing wrong with this closure and I find it ridiculous that you are bringing it up unless you have a valid reason to think the article should be deleted. Under that situation you should have renominated the article for deletion and proven you had a reason. Ryan Vesey Review me! 02:17, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
- Ummm ... this is just an FYI. Who ever asked that the result of the AfD be reversed (I didn't even explore, let alone take a position, as to what the correct result would be at the AfD, ignoring sock input)? Or suggested that anyone should have known about this before? Are you having a bad day?--Epeefleche (talk) 06:15, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
Suspected sockpuppetry by editor
Hi King of Hearts, please would you investigate users hoary and yunshui whom I suspect to be the same person. Hoary has suggested the page Jude Calvert-Toulmin for deletion but his remarks are sneering, sarcastic and are obviously a personal attack which contravenes Wikipedia's guidelines for impartiality. He has been criticised extensively by other users: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hoary one of whom has remarked: the personification of everything that is wrong with wiki and the internet in general, one person who has a bee in his bonnet about something and won't listen to consenus and people with more experience and knowledge
Hoary has a specialist interest in Japanese history. Another user, Yunshui, has just requested deletion. He also has a specialist interest in Japanese history. Sockpuppetry is illegal on Wikipedia and personal vendettas reflect very badly on the Wiki community. This editor obviously does have some kind of personal vendetta against the Jude Calvert-Toulmin page (or person) evidenced by the sneering sarcastic tone of his attacks.
Thankyou. George583
