Bluetech deletion

Hello

You have deleted the wiki article for the electronic musician Bluetech, but he does meet Wiki's criteria for notable musicians listed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#Criteria_for_musicians_and_ensembles The criteria that his work matches is: "Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)"

He's released 18+ albums on labels that include Interchill Records (formed 1994) and Waveform Records (also around since '94)

You can see other notable artists on those records on their respective wiki pages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interchill_Records https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waveform_Records

He tours extensively and has been mentioned at least once in the New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/26/arts/music/global-beats-with-a-sanskrit-prayer-or-a-british-flair.html, gave an interview for Total Music Magazine http://www.totalmusicmagazine.com/interviews/Bluetech.htm and Igloo Magazine http://igloomag.com/reviews/bluetech-elementary-particles-prima-materia-aleph-zero-2cd — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.47.13.65 (talk) 04:22, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bluetech. It concluded that the subject was not notable because there were not sufficient sources to establish notability. You have now provided such sources. @Theredproject, Johnpacklambert, and Spintendo:, as AfD participants, what is your view on these sources? Sandstein 14:37, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion/Joint Marine Modelling Programme

Ref: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Joint_Marine_Modelling_Programme

I unwisely did not have the supporting links in place while developing it and was unavailable while the deletion review was live. The supporting links are now ready and I would like to recreate the page (e.g. jmmp). I guess this note is a curtesy to alert you to the fact that I will try again but also to thank you for tireless work in keeping wikipedia standards high.

Tom Ogle

Why did you delete the Tom Ogle wikipedia page? The public have a right to know what he did. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:875F:FC97:692C:327:4CA:F983 (talk) 13:06, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because a community discussion decided that the article Tom Ogle should be deleted, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tom Ogle. Sandstein 13:39, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you remove this man's wiki page for no reason? I read the above link but there was no discussion by the community anywhere, it was just assertions by a couple of people. If a couple people is all it takes to remove a wikipedia article then you're opening yourselves to massive corruption/fake news/misinformation.

Not quite. See WP:DP for an explanation of our process. Sandstein 20:07, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request to restore page K-3D

Can you please restore the K-3D page we were in the process of resolving the COI claims and collecting notes in the talk section for the rewrite of the page. Bart was not making edits and only provided facts re K-3D's noteworthiness. K-3D is a full 3D graphics application found on every major Linux distribution, including all versions derived from Debian. The number of Microsoft windows users is currently growing at a rate of 24 thousand per year and it is also available on Apple computers. K-3D is a FOSS application, not a trivial utility or commercial application. It was open sourced before Blender 3D and while not as dominant it should be considered it's peer. I can provide you with more detail and specific details should you need anything in particular clarified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dsmatthews (talk • contribs) 02:35, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/K-3D was that the topic is not notable. You'd need to provide links to coverage that meets the requirements of WP:GNG and wasn't already subject of the AfD to restore the article. Sandstein 21:05, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Links and information were provided, are you saying that Bart's COI means that you are ethically permitted to ignore the facts that he listed? Why is it ethical to hit the page with a COI claim, then before that is resolved fully, delete the page? This sort of catch-22 is unethical and employing it brings Wikipedia into disrepute. There were no reasons stated for why the two claims needed to be run concurrently, and common sense (not to mention decency) shows why they should not. I consider what happened to be an "abuse of process", this is not a claim made "after the fact" either therefore I am not surprised that it happened, rather I am very disappointed about the ethics involved. Can you please tell me the exact procedure to have this perceived "ethics and process abuse" matter arbitrated? Dsmatthews (talk) 21:41, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:DRV. Sandstein 22:45, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relist for Kenny Biddle

Hello. Just saw that you did a relist for the Kenny Biddle AfD, and I do not understand what you wrote as the reason. (All "keep" opinions are by editors with few editors.) Please elaborate or fix typo. If you meant "...with few edits" then that simply is incorrect. Unless you count my 4000+ as few. And, in any case, where is the number of edits given in the rules as a criteria for giving valid opinions on an AfD? Thanks. RobP (talk) 20:13, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, if you refer to an AfD, please link to it. Sandstein 21:06, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
