Submission of ConcertHotels.com

Mjkelly26 (talk) 09:32, 12 May 2015 (GMT)

Hi Tokyogirl79, a few months ago you deleted a submission of mine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConcertHotels.com, but you provided some fantastic feedback. I've taken your points on board and I've just resubmitted my entry. I hope that you feel it is much improved and would love to hear your feedback, Many thanks, Mike \

Ana María Llona Málaga

I don't speak English very well, but I have studied Literature in Peru and I can attest that doña Ana María is a nonentity. Nobody knows who is this person, not even me, an scholar. Kerplunk! (talk) 01:58, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Kerplunk!, I declined the speedy since she has gained just enough coverage to where she would have the most basic assertion of notability. The thing about speedy deletions is that someone can pass a speedy deletion but still fail overall notability criteria. It's meant to really only take care of the articles that are so blatantly non-notable that they would be obvious, which usually means no newspaper coverage. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 13:35, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
My sister constantly interviewed on television and in newspapers. Should she appear therefore in Wikipedia? My photograph was published in a magazine because I won a literary contest. Should I be included in Wikipedia? We all have our "five minutes of fame". Is it possible consult with other editors on deleting of the article? Kerplunk! (talk) 09:20, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Murtaza Khojami

Can you have a look at this: Murtaza Khojami (Musician). In 2014 you create-protected Murtaza Khojami, but I figured the new article should either be moved there or deleted (for whatever reason, like A7 or block evasion). — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 09:00, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nvm, taken care of. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 07:12, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you deleted Darknet (overlay network) but didn't fix the wikilinks that linked there before doing so.

Please always do that before deleting articles/redirects, thanks.

UnDeletion of my "Altruism in Medicine Institute" draft.

Hello Tokyo Girl 79. Please restore the article as I wish to work on it in future and make it more factual/less promotional. I do appreciate your intervention. Many thanks. I'm new here and on a learning curve - your advice on what I should have done to avoid deletion would be appreciated. Should I have worked on it on a User page or something? MacPraughan (talk) 16:31, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • MacPraughan, I can't entirely restore it since it was fairly promotional, but I have e-mailed it to you. I'll try to take a second look at the article to see if there's anything I can recommend offhand. I would say that you should definitely get someone from WP:MEDICINE to help you with the article, since they will be used to writing medical themed articles and can think of good ways to rephrase things.

AfC dission on Draft:Ruse (book)

Thanks for your review! I've moved your declining comment to the talk page Draft_talk:Ruse_(book), so I could respond, and we could discuss if you like.

You missed (or discounted) the second article that is about the book, both are from reliable sources. The book meets WP:NBOOK number 1 and number 3, even if you don't feel the author is notable with dozens of cites (NBOOK 5). I've made a few of your suggested edits, I'm looking for the better page-numbering template. The Amazon reference points to the Reviews page, not the Sales page. These links go to Reception, not Notability, I don't know where editors get the idea that every cite has to be confined to notability :( Resubmitting -- Cheers! -- 009o9 (talk) 17:08, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • There's a lot wrong with your rationale on the talk page. I'll reply there. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 17:19, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Basically it's an issue with verifiability. There are long, long, LONG histories of authors and publishers deliberately trying to sway reviews in one direction or another. I can give you a few case histories of authors who tried to jack up their ratings by making fake accounts and times where an author's rating went down because they made the site's denizens angry. We can't verify the reviews, so they shouldn't be added. This also doesn't mention the fact that Amazon is a merchant site and they're there to sell you stuff, so using their site comes across as Wikipedia endorsing the site and/or the product - an impression that you need to avoid making since you have a strong conflict of interest here.

MaxxCAT Search Appliance

    You have recently deleted an article that I contributed to citing G11.   This article is written in a neutral viewpoint,   it is not spam and it is non promotional.  I followed the Wikipedia guidelines and worked through Article for Submission with other editors. The MaxxCAT Search Appliance is notable in the Search Appliance segment.  It is notable for it speed and was instrumental in helping to push the search appliance into popularity along with Google GSA, Thunderstone and others.  Proper channels were followed to ensure proper referencing and attribution to notable sources. MaxxCAT is notable globally among IT professionals in Enterprise Level Corporations.   Please reinstate the page if possible,  or if you could make the content userfied, so we can discuss what qualified it as G11, I can make the proper edits.     This was a very fast deletion and I didn't have the opportunity to discuss it with you.  GForsytheMC (talk) 13:52, 10 August 2015 (UTC)GForsytheMC

User:Btphelps/Sandbox/Walter E. Lauer

Thank you for your deletion of that page. I found it funny that I provided three CSD critera at the RFD and you ended up using WP:R3. R3 actually wouldn't apply to this redirect because it "does not apply to redirects created as a result of a page move." Since User:Btphelps/Sandbox/Walter E. Lauer was moved to Wikipedia:Walter E. Lauer and finally to Walter E. Lauer, those would be {{R from page move}}s. I'm just letting you know since it's commonly overlooked. Cheers, -- Tavix (talk) 16:09, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of List of NPOs in Nigeria

It was my understanding that G5 can only be used to speedy delete a page that was created by a blocked or banned user if the page was created by that person while the block or ban was in effect. With List of NPOs in Nigeria, it was created on June 6, but TejaswaChaudhary was not blocked until July 9. Is there an exception to the general G5 rule about the timing of creation for socks? If so, there are a few other page creations related to TejaswaChaudhary and/or Smileverse that I can request speedy deletion for instead of PROD tagging.

Notability State newspapers?

Hi Tokyogirl79, wandering around child lit stubby articles, i keep coming across ones with notability questions (you may notice that i occasionly put up stubbies for afd) as most only have 1 if any references. An example is The Z Was Zapped which at the moment has a reference to a piece in The Deseret News, the largest state newspaper in Utah. My question is - can state newspapers, what some editors might call 'local papers', be used for notability? thanks Coolabahapple (talk) 03:47, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Coolabahapple, yes and no. It ultimately depends on the type of coverage, although that's debatable. The general rule of thumb is to look at the type of paper. If it's a major paper for the area (like New York Times or such) then pretty much anything they'll put out will be considered usable (as long as it's in-depth). The Deseret News would likely fall under this criteria for just about any editor. Now when they get smaller, that's where it's a bit more tricky. I'm kind of halfsies on this since I tend to think that any newspaper with a reasonable circulation that has a verified editorial staff would be usable as a reliable source. However I do know that there are editors who argue that local sources will cover local people for human interest pieces or will be more likely to want to cover a local person as one of those "local boy/girl does good" type of deals. They argue that local sources are depreciated because they have an interest in covering local people since it makes them look better. I don't always agree with that, since there are a lot of people and stories that they don't cover - plus these sources would likely be considered usable if they covered an out of state news story. Although at the same time, some stories are obviously "slow news day" human interest pieces regardless of where they're posted, like a paper covering the Beatles memorabilia collection of a local teenager. Anywho, I'm getting off track. In this case the news source would be usable if it was a review for the book or an article about the book. However looking at the source, it looks like it's only a brief mention in relation to another book (meaning it's not the book being reviewed) so it'd be considered a trivial source at best. A quick look for sources does bring up a few things that look promising ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5]) so hopefully it can be rescued. I'll try to see if I can find anything later on tonight. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:08, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi tokyogirl, thankyou i will add your reply to my wiki useful bits file. thanks also for the article sources, i didn't have notability concerns with this article, just noticed it had the one newspaper source. By the way i've been reassessing the child lit stubbies, i have found quite a few 'starts' and even some 'c' class, also some caldecott and newbery winners and honors which i have upgraded to high and mid importance. i have now got long lists of articles which need improving - reviews/more references, infoboxes, possible mergers, and notability concerns. ps. also, when i have time i will be adding the occasional child lit article. will you able to assess them or is it okay for me to do so, they will of course have plenty of references so will be 'starts' and will probably be low or mid importance? Coolabahapple (talk) 07:56, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
thanks, that would be great, i promise there won't be very many, to begin with... as there are still heaps of stubby articles to improve. Coolabahapple (talk) 17:58, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jaspergeli

Hello Tokyogirl79! I just want to ask that why my article is deleted by you? What's the problem with my article? I just want to give the viewers some information about koi varieties. Now I will make again an article named, List of koi varieties and do not ever delete it again! Jaspergeli (talk) 08:57, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Jaspergeli, it looked like you had copied part of your article from another source. This is considered to be a copyright violation and is not acceptable on Wikipedia. It also didn't really expand on the section Koi#Varieties, which already covers the various koi varieties. I know that this is not the complete-complete list, but Wikipedia generally only covers the major stuff and isn't really meant to be a complete list of every variety/strain of something, especially if it is not recognized as "official" by the various people. (This happens mostly in the cat and dog articles, but can happen in just about any species that has different variations of type.) If you want to try to create a new article on the list of varieties then feel free (although you will still need to show that this could merit an individual entry), but reposting copyrighted material is not acceptable and will lead to you getting blocked from editing, either temporarily or permanently. I have already warned you about this once on your talk page, where I let you know that this was the main reason for it getting deleted. Please do not do this again. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 13:58, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Tokyogirl79! Sorry for that article its just because i'm not ready of making that article but i'll promise I will do that next time. I just copied it but later on I will change it. If you want to correct something just say it on my talk page and I will do it correctly not like forced deleting of my own article. So anyway I can create my article List of koi varieties again? But it's not copied on other source or in wikipedia? S O R R Y Jaspergeli (talk) 11:00, 24 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Rossi

Collect suggested I contact you before I would revert his delete. While I don't dispute that Rossi is not notable enough to have his own article, I actually agree with it, his incident was more than notable and publicized enough to be part of Publicized incidents of disputed marathon results. Most of the incidents in the current list were half as notable as Rossi's and most of those have no Wikipedia articles either. He was offered $100,000 by two very notable and legitimate athletes running a major on-line running board and website to repeat the feat. Mike Rossi's LVM Marathon cheating is notable and big enough to be worthy of the entry on that page at the very least in the eyes of all legitimate runners in the running community. Thanks. GregTakacs (talk) 19:40, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I rather think the discussion which resulted in the deletion of the BLP was also an indication that the community did not assign weight to the affair sufficient to include it in any list on Wikipedia, and the claim that Rossi engaged in a fraud is a "contentious allegation" in any event. That other examples should be removed from that list hardly argues that this case should be included. Collect (talk) 21:47, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The Marathon course-cutting article did not reference anything about fraud. It simply posted that Mike Rossi, based on the overwhelming evidence of prior race performances, lack of photos, expert opinion, and absolutely no evidence of actually running the LVM marathon in its entirety, is indeed a marathon cheat. The fact that there were dozens of news articles about Mike Rossi and his marathon "performance" qualifies it as a publicized event. If there is a list of such things, and currently there is, Mike Rossi should be on it. Whether such a list should exist in the first place on Wikipedia is a different discussion and should be discussed as such. Thanks. GregTakacs (talk) 22:05, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would agree 100% with Greg Takacs here. Mike Rossi and his run or lack thereof at the 2014 Lehigh Valley VIA marathon is one of the most "publicized incidents of disputed marathon results" out there. Triathleteguru (talk) 23:38, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would prefer that you not add it anywhere. The coverage of his alleged cheating is actually fairly light when it comes down to it. Most of the world focused on him pulling his children out of school, not the allegations. Some running websites did cover the cheating allegations, but by large most of them just sort of shrugged and moved on. I really don't think that this coverage is heavy enough to warrant adding this anywhere and to be completely honest, I'd actually prefer that the only people who are mentioned in the aforementioned article be people who have articles. There's a very bad trend on Wikipedia of people adding things to the site because it's recent or because they feel that they need to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS and call people out on things - and there were certainly people participating in the AfD who felt that it was their duty to let everyone know that they felt that Rossi was a cheater. It's actually fairly common for people to add things and then for these things to be removed later on because ultimately the event had no lasting notability. If people are still talking about Rossi in 1-2 years then this could possibly be added, but I'm kind of doubting that they will. It also doesn't help that both of you have signed up for accounts for what looks like the sole purpose of trying to add Rossi to Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:50, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re:

Usually I never read his psychodrama, now I read what he wrote about you, though I must confess I had to jump several boring lines. He's such a big liar, I can still remember how "strongly" he pretended to be any of his different identities related to his sockpuppets. He actually lives in Miami area btw. Notwithstanding this any real life harassment actually damages more him than you for sure, I'm wondering about informing WMF's legal department. Anyway, my suggestion is ignoring his boring gibberish (don't read, just revert and salt, rants are never worth reading) but also share with fellow admins the burden of contrasting his recurring abuse. In my years here I got in touch with so many similar...err...it's hard to find a proper adjective...I'd need something meaning "someone who is able to make you facepalm 60 times a hour"! --Vituzzu (talk) 23:52, 17 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fair Stone Draft: Request help

Hi there Tokyogirl,

you were of much help last time that you reviewed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Fair_Stone You even helped me with some manga tips, sadly that relationship is no more, so no more gifts ;) I have re-submitted the article a few times as you can see. Detailed feedback has been rare however. I have removed all peacock terms and marketing stuff, and dont see any claims in the article. It basically describes the standard and what it expects from its participants. Furthermore I have greatly condensed its contents. Would be grateful if you could give me some additional pointers.

Thanks for your help Tokyogirl79! Regarding the copyvio issue, I thought that I had provided Wiki permissions with permissions from Penguin Random House (of which Doubleday is an imprint) allowing me to use copyrighted text as long as I properly cited what I was using. Perhaps the permission was not received? Anyhow, thanks for pointing that out, and I will take care to not infringe in the future.

As for COI regarding the subject (Sides), I am worried about making the pages too promotional, and would very much appreciate if you wanted to glance at the articles I have created. I have to say thank you very much for even offering to help, as previous editors have only pointed out faults w/o any suggestion of how to fix, so thank you for that!

Smelling socks

Thanks for your recent blocks related to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Toward the Tower ( Film 2019 ). I looked at the global accounts of the two editors and at the IP address mentioned in Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Toward the Tower ( Film 2019 ). All 3 users appear to be from the same country (appearances can be deceiving, but I digress). I am very tempted to ask the Checkusers to run a "non-public-disclosure/admins can ask for the results privately" check so that the checkuser-evidence will be preserved. The purpose of the check would be to facilitate WP:G5 (blocked-user) deletions if this person waited until after the checkuser information would have otherwise expired then created an account and re-created the article.

I am concerned that such a request would be interpreted as "fishing." What do you think?

Update: I have added information to Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Toward the Tower ( Film 2019 )#Post-close news - looks less like WP:HOAX and more like blatant WP:PROMO. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 18:06, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I wouldn't have an issue with a check. I do think that it's possible that the musician is trying to make a movie, but some of the claims in the article were pure hoax cruft. I think that at best this is the guy's wish list for a film crew. It not only had Stephen Sondheim (misspelled Stephen Sondhem) doing the music, but it had some pretty well known actors participating in the cast. (Timothy Spall from Harry Potter fame, Sacha Baron Cohen of Borat fame, and Colleen Atwood, who isn't an actress but has won gobs of awards for her costumes.) Even if this film is a twinkle in his eye, there's no way that a film would have these cast and crew members and have zero coverage. I mean, look at the news explosion when Cohen was supposed to be playing Freddie Mercury. I doubt that the news circuit would be quiet if he was in a short film about 9/11. I think that this was probably the guy's way of trying to attract attention and maybe get these people to be in his film. It's kind of a mixture of a hoax and promotion at the same time. I'd definitely endorse a check for sleepers and to see the evidence, just to see if this is a case of them trying to get around a block. At the very least it's extremely unlikely that anyone other than this guy would be trying to create an article or anything about this film, given that there's zero coverage out there. I mean, even SCHMIDT didn't seem convinced in any of this and he's more likely to give things the benefit of the doubt at AfD. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 14:30, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • davidwr, upon looking at the various articles, I'm getting the impression that everything is a hoax. I've name dropped you at the SPI I've opened. I'd like you to go and comment upon the evidence I've posted. Basically, I'm getting the impression that this is a guy who is trying to repeatedly insert hoaxes on Wikipedia. The guy has claimed to have worked with some A list names and released multiple albums through major labels, yet he's received pretty much zero coverage on the Internet. This film looks to be the latest attempt to insert a hoax to Wikipedia, so I doubt that the film is even remotely real. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 15:40, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A Child lit article to assess.

Hi Tokyogirl79, I have recently added a children's book article to mainspace. It is called 365 Penguins and involves, as the title implies, lots of penguins (when i came across the book at my local library and being a member of the penguin cabal i knew it just had to have an article). I would appreciate if you could have a look at it and assess it for the child lit project. As previously discussed, i've made sure its got good references (its actually has a lot more references then i envisaged when i first started working on it). thanks Coolabahapple (talk) 15:24, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
