Deleted Page

Hi Tokyogirl79! I noticed you deleted the page Amanda Steele I am aware that this page was not yet finished at all but I had just started working on it last night and did not have time to put in my sources yet. It said that this person was not of importance but she is and I found many other people just like her, such a Michelle Phan, who do have Wikipedia pages. I was working on the Wikipedia page as a school project where we have to make a page. Are you able to retrieve the content you deleted so that I do not have to start all over again? Thank you!

Hi Tokyogirl79! I noticed that you speedy-deleted Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie under G12 for "Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://heyarnold.wikia.com/wiki/Hey_Arnold!:_The_Jungle_Movie" I'm confused because I understood Wikia (for all its faults like garbage content and trivia and fancruft and crushcruft and speculation and other useless BS) to be free of copyright restrictions. I thought that the article would be buh-leted in fair time for its other faults. I'm not complaining about the deletion, just curious about the justification so I know whether or not to maybe use a different criteria when nominating similar articles for deletion. Was it just because the contributors had failed to credit Wikia per the [CC-BY-SA licensing]? Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:08, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well... yes and no. It's one of those very thin lines when it comes to copyvio. It's not copyrighted but it's still considered to be copyvio because it's copied word for word. I have to admit that I'm not entirely sure of all of the ins and outs, but it's the same principle by which someone could have an entire section of a Wikipedia article deleted because it copied another WP article too closely or word for word.

Efficiencie

My article at wiki:Efficiencie was deleted too. please explain to me why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.221.91.182 (talk) 08:06, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • The tone of the article was a little promotional in tone and it didn't really assert why the company was notable. We need sourcing to show notability for the article. However that said, I see nothing wrong with the idea of transferring the article into your userspace so you can work on it and have it pass notability guidelines. I'll do that now and then drop you a note on your talk page (User:Jafarimunaba, right?) with where you can find the article and some tips on how to improve it.

Wizkid

Greetings Tokyogirl79, thanks for deleting the page. I mistakenly created the page and blanked it. I wasn't sure what to do. versace1608 (talk) 13:10, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

SPI tip

Hi Tokyogirl79, I just saw Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/AlifLif. In the future, if you want a check for sleeper accounts to be done, make sure you change {{SPI case status|}} to {{SPI case status|CUrequest}}. That way it will go in a different section on the page and be clear that you want a check done and are not just looking for the known socks to be blocked. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 18:42, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My attention was called to this, and I made some obvious improvements, but there's a lot more to go & it's not my best subject; perhaps you can help. DGG ( talk ) 00:53, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please restore it? The deletion template was only transcluded onto it from some subpages that I needed rid of. Abyssal (talk) 17:36, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Recirect request

Hi Tokyogirl. Bozcaada (district) is about the district of Çanakkale Province in Turkey and it should be redirected to Bozcaada, Çanakkale, not island of Tenedos. Can you fix the redirect please? Have a nice day.--Rapsar (talk) 07:45, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A few issues

You know which page I am talking about. If you look at the history, Davey removed primary sources, while Flat Out removes secondary sources. And then some tags are added. Also I added some negative points :v — Preceding unsigned comment added by PrajayXG (talkcontribs) 10:45, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

XOLO

Hi Tokyogirl79 I have withdrawn the AfD based on your addition of product reviews, you may want to close that. Re: the COI, that was based on this edit where he added <ref>According to XOLO employees' edit here.</ref> so I don't totally buy the 13 y.o thing. In any case, the article is neutral so the template is redundant. Best wishes Flat Out let's discuss it 11:28, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question

I appreciate your review of the article "Disney Partners Statue" where I apparently had incorrect citations. I was wondering if I could get a little help. The biggest citation mistake was citing a primary source directly from Disney which I do understand.

I did notice that the only citation for this statue on the French version of Wikipedia cites a primary source which may need to be corrected. The citation is from a book "Disney A to Z" written by Dave Smith who was the founder of the Disney Archives and worked at the Walt Disney Company until recently retiring. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partners_(Walt_Disney_et_Mickey)

I updated this first Disney source to a USA Today article.

I'm not sure if the two other sources are merchant sources as you previously mentioned. The self-published blog posting from a staff writer was noncommercial from MousePlanet- a commonly cited and very familiar news source to those who keep up on Disney Park information. I'd love to get your input- I'm just hoping to get this page published because this statue is very famous and seen by hundreds of millions of people. Thanks in advance! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilovepixar (talkcontribs) 11:45, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tokyogirl79, the list would include only japanese games released outside Japan that have a japanese audio track, not all japanese games in general. The page would be less large than you might think considering the practice of including the original audio basically started this generation with the PS3 because the disk space was large enough to allow the inclusion of both audio tracks, therefore between the thousands of games previously released just an incredibly tiny number of them would be included. And, as you can see, the practice is not that widespread even nowadays on modern consoles. I think the page would be perfectly manageable and incredibly useful to a lot of users who base their purchases on the inclusion of the original audio and Wikipedia would be the best place to accommodate it. You also requested the addition of more citations so should I proceed with that? KerrBlackHole (talk) 13:19, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • We would need sources that are about the dual audio track and this in general. Also, there are more games out there that have the original audio track than you think- I seem to remember there being some for some of the handheld games, plus we also have the computer games to think about. Even if the number now seems small, we've got to think about the future as well. If every game released from this point on has a dual track, then we have the potential to have hundreds of games qualify for this list each year. I just really think that this is too unmanageable as a list. I'd personally suggest listing this as a category rather than a page, as categories are better prepared to deal with a large amount of data such as this. Plus from there you can make sub-categories such as "Category:Video games with a Japanese-English language dual audio tracks" and "Category:Video games with a Japanese-Italian language dual audio tracks" (or something to that extent) and so on. Now as far as it being useful, we can't entirely keep things because they're useful- you have to show notability for it and prove that it's not just indiscriminate data. That's hard to do with lists, especially when the list looks like it'll grow to be exceptionally large within just a few years. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:19, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Player Attack

Hi Tokyogirl79!

re: Player Attack, you said "We need more independent coverage of the website" ...if I took the website element out and left it as a standalone television series page, is it sufficient?

(I'll keep an eye out for independent coverage, but it's difficult to come by. Most websites aren't really fond of saying how great their competition is!)

Thank you - Dotarray (talk) 06:53, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help! I'm not sure what sort of independent coverage you're after - pages on topics like Kotaku don't seem to have any. The Player Attack page lists awards it's been nominated for, which are by nature independent. (I totally understand that being first isn't enough, btw!) I'll keep looking for more, but like I said - it's difficult to find examples where an external source refers to an news outlet, rather than a news story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dotarray (talkcontribs) 07:16, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Kotaku doesn't seem to have any coverage either. I'll try to find some, but offhand I'll just say that the existence of other articles on Wikipedia doesn't mean that a page passes notability guidelines. (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS) It just means that the other page either hasn't been improved with reliable sources or it hasn't been deleted yet. If I can't find anything to show that it passes WP:WEB, I'll have to nominate it for deletion from Wikipedia. (BTW, this is often one of the biggest drawbacks of drawing comparisons to other articles on Wikipedia- in most cases the other article doesn't pass GNG either and ends up getting nominated for deletion.) As far as awards go, nominations do not count towards notability, only wins. Award nominations only make it more likely that something will gain coverage, but it's not a guarantee.

  • I ended up having to nominate it for deletion. :( Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:47, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thought you might, it didn't seem to have terribly much in the way of "information". Thanks for the clarification re: awards, too. I'll keep looking. Might find more stuff about the show and less about the website, which would still work, right? (The official tv station hasn't updated their page with show information yet, or I'd throw that in, too.) Dotarray (talk) 09:58, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
