Beauty Pageant AfD's

JPL, Thank you for that background. I have recently returned after a years-long wikibreak, so I am not familiar with some of the personalities. BTW, the RfC you indicated had a redlink. Did it get deleted some point in the past? Thanks again. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 01:09, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I see it now. Thanks. I see that the consensus was that an explicit standard needed to be set. I'm just getting back into things here, so I'm not feeling like the one to restart that. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 01:14, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, I didn't read down far enough. I think it is an extremely reasonable standard, and will go there and say that. Maybe we can get other parties to chime in. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 01:19, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think that discussion has gotten to the point where starting a draft guideline is possible, so I went ahead and created one at Draft:Notability (beauty pageant participants). It looks like there is general agreement with your proposal. Cheers Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 19:31, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Notability_(beauty_pageant_participants)

Happy New Year. It's been about 10 days since anyone has made any suggestions at the Draft. I think it may be time to start moving it from draft status. There has been no attempt to change the line: "Winners of sub-national level pageants or subsidiary awards...are usually not notable for such per se..." I welcome your advice as to what the next step should be. Other efforts to publicize the "debate" have drawn little to no response, so I'm of the mind to simply move it to WP space and be done with it. Thanks.

Speedy deletion nomination of Indian television actresses

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Indian television actresses requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Fighting systemic bias

I just saved the article on Mongolia's current foreign minister from being prod deleted on the alleged ground of no sources. The issue of weather Mongolian government sources can be used for such a purpose is still open. I found ones from Russia, China, Nepal and a mention in a Reuters article. This is actually Tsend Mucnkh-Orgil's 2nd term as foriegn minister, and he has also been Mongolia's justice minister. No one from Europe or the United States who was even a 10th as notable would be put to prod deletion on no sources claims, and definately not have the article last 4 days there.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:19, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nicole Bosso DiGiacobbe

This individual contacted me on my facebook page and threatened to go to the press if I did not restore the article on her. I really do not appreciate people trying to use Wikipedia as a platform for their self promotion. I just hope some people in the press will not run with another story to try to smear Wikipedia as sexist, and will actually take time to consider what is meant by reliable stories. When the coverage of her is her blog, her Linkedin page, an add article on her wedding, or a one sentance add article on someone elses wedding we are not talking about reliable, 3rd party sourcing. There is some 3rd party sourcing, but it is weak, and all focused on her being Miss Delaware USA. The following is a copy of what she said there "You're friends on Facebook Owner/Photographer at This Lovely Life Studied at Rutgers School of Law–Camden JAN 20TH, 11:31PM

Hi John,

I wanted to reach out to you about my wikipedia page. You deleted it and said there was nothing notable about me. That was pretty hurtful, considering I competed in Miss USA, was on a reality TV show on the CW Network, interned at the DE Supreme Court and am family friends with former VP Joe Biden. I also have 24,000+ followers on instagram, run a successful blog called This Lovely Life, and modeled at the Home Shopping Network.

I wanted to come to you first before taking this further to see if we could resolve this. Please get back to me as soon as you can because my wikipedia is linked on my media kit and resume and is now a broken link that many have pointed out to me. Thank you in advance for being understanding. Nicole MON 1:13PM You accepted Nicole's request. Eikipedia is not a place for self promotion. Being friends with the family of a vice president and being a contestant in Miss USA do not make one notable. You need to find another way to promote yourself and not try to misuse Wikipedia as a tool of self promotion. 10:07AM

"Competing in Miss USA does not make one notable." Interesting. I will see if the press agrees. And being a successful blogger with 25,000 fans, with photography work featured on Huffington Post, and USA Today is not notable? Graduating law school is not notable and interning at the DE Supreme Court for Chief Justice is not notable? Wow. I'm looking forward to seeing what the press has to say about all of this. You seem to try very very hard to suppress any success women have had. Very unfortunate.

Oh and participating on the CW's Network TV show is nothing to be noted either right? Yet celebrities and reality TV show stars get their own page. Hmm... I find your logic flawed entirely and really look forward to talking to the press.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:59, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I have to say none of this makes a person notable. "Photography works featured on Huffington Post and USA Today". Is she claiming she is a photo-journalist? Where are the 3rd party reliable sources that cover her as such? She wants us to declare her notable just because she graduated law school. Graduating law school is 100% not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:01, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of page of Mr. Ajay Dhumal

Dear Mr. John,

I hope this finds you well.

Mr. Ajay Dhumal, is a well known industrialist in Maharashtra, India. Apart from being the Chairman & Managing Director of K.P. Group of Companies, he is very well known to the people of Maharashtra for his social work such as contribution to clean India initiative (Swatch Bharat Abhyan), Make in India movement led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and also recent appointment by the Prime Ministers of India's office under the environment department.

The appointment letter by the Secretary of State of Environment, Government of India, can be sent to you as well.

Please see the following links and articles, SOME OF WHICH ARE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA WEBSITES. I am sure after reading them you will be convinced that such a magnanimous but down to earth and low profile person should be listed on Wikipedia to inspire youth and be as a role model to look up to rather than many people listed who serve just the other purpose.

James J. Leonard Jr.

Hello-I am the creator of the page, and I do not understand what you mean by "mentions in passing"? He has actually been featured in a number of articles, so it wouldn't be that? I did not include all of those in the article because I didn't want it to sound like an ad or resume or cvv. He has been featured on national TV shows as himself so I could list and source more of those? Also---do you mean in the article, or sources/references that you could see linking from the AFD? I'd like to try and improve it if you mean the article. Thank you, ip because I use a whole different name now and don't want to appear as a SP.2601:80:4300:155E:C1B:22F7:4CD0:4798 (talk) 17:50, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I notice an article you have edited, David E. Sorensen and there is basically one source besides the obituary. Leonard has been featured much more widely and nationally than Sorenson, and I do understand the differences, but still I'm feeling a little confused here about why you would vote delete with the comments that you made. I'm hoping for some advice on what would make the article a "keep" for you, or a reconsideration please.2601:80:4300:155E:C1B:22F7:4CD0:4798 (talk) 18:27, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

'Restaurants established in' categeories

JPL, I see you have created some of these categories. I'm writing because you probably don't know but some editors have been categorizing these category pages 'Retail companies established in' the year involved. I think that's dead wrong. Retail and restaurant are totally different types of business. There is a category 'Food and drink companies established in'. That's fine.

Just recently I yanked Retail companies links from a bunch of restaurant categories but one editor restored it[1] and I took it back out again[2]. If you agree with my view, can you help support me if needed....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:34, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion

Hi there. I know you and I participate in a lot of AfD's, and I'd like your opinion before I nominate an article. Hank Thomas has several secondary sources to support notability, but after reading the article and several secondary sources, this person seems notable only for a single event (being on a Freedom Ride bus). He went on to have a successful career as a businessman and art collector, but those on their own would not merit a Wikipedia article. He also did not seem to have had any leadership position within the civil rights movement, or have received any significant awards. I've written articles about civil rights leaders, such as Maxine Smith, George Washington Lee, and R. S. Lewis, and there were multiple, tangible, notable civil rights or civic initiatives. I'm just not finding anything notable about this person except that he was on the bus. I'm not sure if passing WP:BASIC trumps WP:SINGLEEVENT. I'd appreciate your input. Cheers.

Hi, I'm Steve Quinn. Johnpacklambert, thanks for creating Melvin J. Ballard Center for Economic Self-Reliance!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. This page does not qualify as a standalone article on Wikipedia because no independent sources cover this topic, therefore, I am restoring this to its redirect status. Please see WP:N for more information. Consider adding information about this topic to the main school article to which it redirects.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Proposed deletion of Lynn R. Carson

The article Lynn R. Carson has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Carson fails author notability standards with no significant, reliable, third-party coverage in online or offline sources. Music-wise, he's also not notable, with little modern or old analysis of his work. Three sources the articles cite are a book written by Carson, a one-page passing mention in a book dedicated to Mormon hymns in general, and a directory entry, none of which confer notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:1616 establishments in Wales

A tag has been placed on Category:1616 establishments in Wales requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Mass removal of film credits

You have been making mass edits removing thousands of credits from articles on actors, actresses, and films. These edits have not been accompanied by any explanation or edit summaries. Please explain the basis for your removal of credits from these articles, examples of which are listed below:

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in providing justification for these actions. Cbl62 (talk) 14:43, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I note that in this diff, you reverted the restoration of credits to the Claire Windsor article on the ground that the films removed are "unnotable". Such a notability rationale is questionable as applied to an actor's filmography. Further, it is unclear how you are making the determination that certain films are "unnotable". Is it simply because certain films don't have articles on Wikipedia? Cbl62 (talk) 14:52, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your response makes little sense in the context of your recent mass removal of film credits. A list of actors/characters appearing in a film is not an "indiscriminate listing". Likewise, an actor's filmography is not an "indiscriminate listing". The word "indiscriminate" means "done at random or without careful judgment." This is wholly inapplicable to a particular film's cast listing or an actor's filmography. Indeed, these lists are the antithesis of "indiscriminate"; they are "discriminate". Cbl62 (talk) 15:03, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is "American" and "US-American" the same?

Hi, I have many latin American friends, and whenever I used the word "American" not specifying that I meant "US-American" they felt insulted and corrected me. I feel they are right. There are ~911,000,000 people living in North- and Southamerica, and ~320,000,000 living in the USA. So why is there need to insult two third of all Americans? You undid where I corrected "...is an American actor" to "...is a US-American actor" stating "The usage in Wikipedia is American" - may I ask to kindly tell me where is it written in the Wikipedia Disclamers? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WissM (talk • contribs) 05:35, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry, I didn't expect that Wikipedia is a place of discrimination and where people have to feel insulted, and all is explained by "because everyone is doing so" ;-) (User WissM) 6 January 2018 (UTC)
WissM, you should read our article Americans. In the English language, the word "American" means a citizen of the United States, or things pertaining to the United States. No one would call a citizen of Brazil an "American citizen" or the food of Guatemala "American food". No one should feel insulted by the plain and ordinary meanings of common English language words. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:51, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wow, interesting lession learned! I am from Europe, citizen of the European Union, and I never would feel that when I say "European" it only includes members of the European Union and non-EU people (e.g. Switzerland, Norway, Belarus, Serbia etc.) being marginalised. But your US-American thinking in the context of using the word "America" is different. Interesting. (User WissM) 6 January 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by WissM (talk • contribs)
You need to understand the common meanings of words as used in the English language, WissM. The word "European" refers to anything having to do with the continent of Europe, and that includes non-EU parts of Europe including Switzerland, Norway, and so on. The word "American" in the English language refers to people and things associated with the United States of America. Your personal preferences are irrelevant. Wikipedia uses the terminology that reliable sources use, and no reliable sources call the people whose biographies you have been disrupting "US-Americans". So, stop your disruption now.

Abusive Use of category hotcat to kill ancestral origins

You have been abusing use of Category hotcat to kill categories that say in what countries people are born and and their ancestries.

This is a prime example of your abuse. You used Category HotCat to kill Category:American People of Italian Descent on the article of Arnold Kent because the word Italy or Italian wasn't in the BODY of the article. The first sentence says be was born Lino Manetti in Florence. The dialogue box on the right with bio info shows that he was born Florence, Tuscany, ITALY on 21 January 1899. So your indiscriminate use of HotCat killed a valid category for this article because the algorithm used indiscriminately by you was not capable of picking up that Florence was in Italy, or picked up the info in the info box.

Your hatred of ancestral categories is well noted in your posts and editorial comments. Now it has risen to the level of abuse.

Based on posts I've read in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Johnpacklambert you have a pathological instinct to delete articles and remove helpful categories.

I look forward to seeking action starting with posting on that page and learning more how to stop your abuse. Clearly suggestions and complains to date have been insufficient to change your destructive behaviors. Rsarlls (talk) 23:45, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Natasha Pavlovich

Hi, is it possible to have more info as to why the Natasha Pavlovich page was deleted? Should the page be reorganized to first reflect her Miss Universe experience seeing as several Miss Universes already have Wikipedia pages? Not only do these other Miss Universe contestants have pages, but they have no other experience except for being a Miss Universe contestant, whereas Pavlovich has acted in many American TV shows (she even had a recurring role in "Pride and Joy" with Jeremy Piven). For examples of other Miss Universe Wikipedia pages or pages similar to Pavlovich's acting experience, you can vist the links listed here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Natasha_Pavlovich

Plus, looking through wikipedia, there are other actresses with even less experience in supporting roles that already have Wikipedia pages. Pavlovich's filmography includes over 50 roles so is there a reason as to why her greater experience might count as less? You can see her filmography by clicking on the link also posted in : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Natasha_Pavlovich

A partial filmography is also found on TCM : http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/person/1310276%7C0/Natasha-Pavlovich/

A page also exists for Pavlovich in the Serbian wikipedia so is an English version then possible?

It seems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/128.239.104.188 an ip addr recently has contributed some heavy duty stuff that's been done by Oman over the last couple of years. So yeah I'd say guess myself his blp should be a slam dunk. Of course, some !voters go by ideosyncratic tea leaves in whatever afd (i.e according to Fowler bro.s' usage (...rather click the handy ref provided in the text and see what entity sponsors whatever Mo.studies award is in question)?--Hodgdon's secret garden (talk) 00:53, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ardis Parshall

Haven't googled Ardis E. Parshall ("independent historian and author of the Keep-a-Pitchin-In Mormon history blog. ") lately, well, until just now. But let's say she's been specifically profiled or subject to sufficient MSM coverage (eg i recall that Ardis did cosign the SCotUS amicus brief Oman had co-authored: a lot of stuff like that). If so: !vote to keep? (Me: Yes!) Or, to delete?

Likely !vote by user:DGG? Likely yours, then (hetorical quandary; you'd not "have to" answer--at least, specifically)?--Hodgdon's secret garden (talk) 03:09, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an interview of Ardis Parshall by Peggy Stack. WP has such a small percentage of blp's about women . IMHO it's a travesty that wp:Basic so often is subverted in the interest of snooty exclusivity. (Come to think of it, maybe this inclination is in some ways an analogue of "not in my backyard"ism. Just a thought!)--Hodgdon's secret garden (talk) 03:44, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Re your afd nom

Since !voting often as not gets so weighted by my mere nose counts, Could you go back and edit your nom and at least mention her 2017 Greg Kofford title? (I just added it to Ardis's blp.) That way those whose threshold involves a pair of scholarly books won't get there !votes in before its too late to get back to them. Thanks!

The article Jayne Marie Fleming Lange has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

AFD of Elaine Herzberg

I am sure you watch the page but is there any room for possible consideration of alternatives. The AFD was (in my opinion) prematurely closed and I had to request it be reopened. I agree with your comments concerning "not a newspaper" that to me includes "not a newspaper obituary". The sources do indicate the issues with self-driving/autonomous vehicles/cars not just limited to Uber can develop into more than a pseudo-biography obituary. I think these issues deserve more than a paragraph entry, but more I think that a "no consensus" titled as a biography is certainly against policies and guidelines. Anyway, I may be barking up a wrong tree that seeking collaboration and editor consensus over an admin chosen decision is a worthwhile endeavor but it can't hurt to try. If you deem this worth a second look maybe you can weigh in on the idea? Thanks, Otr500 (talk) 19:27, 31 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Will be interesting to see if Turner's B.Y. bio becomes overshadowed, in the research area, by Grow's upcoming one.--Hodgdon's secret garden (talk) 20:06, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I expect Grow's bio of BY to set a new standard. There are enough issues with Turner's bio that I expect Grow to be able to supercede it. Grow was the co-author of the very top notch bio of Parley P. Pratt. He studied in part under Richard L. Bushman, who has set a new top standard in Mormon biography with Rough Stone Rolling. Beyond this he was involved in publishing materials related to the Council of 50. Whatever Turner said on it, it was not fully informed by the most recently available documents. Turner also is felt by some to not have given enough insight and understanding into the 1870s institution of new stakes and other Church reforms done by Brigham Young then. This is probably in part because of the approach Turner is coming from. To many, Leonard J. Arrington's Brigham Young: American Moses is still a top work, but there are issues it addresses less than could be, and it is difficult to see some of its treatment of some issues as fully reflecting existing scholarship. Grow being at the center of the Joseph Smith papers project, and having easy access to the Church archives and other related documents will give him a lot of depth of knowledge.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:15, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed on all points (from my armchair, with no inside info or much of any kind of background in this stuff.
Yep, I see ur right re Walker' s Grant bio. Ben Park: "Between writing his [Walker's] dissertation on the Godbeites in the 1970s and the actual publication of the book in the 1990s, Walker took serious the call to do more 20th century history, and set out to write a biography of one of its most important, and still under-studied, figures: Heber J. Grant. ... ... ... He originally set out to write an exhaustive biography of Brigham Young, but was recruited instead to co-author the Church’s authoritative account of its most tragic episode [the MMM]. ... ... ... Even after his diagnosis a couple of years after the project’s completion, Walker remained feverish with his work on other topics, most especially Brigham Young. ... ... ...his entire career was, in a way, meant to climax with the Young biography that was never completed. Most of his work–on leadership culture, native relations, political conflict, authority and dissent, pioneer life–were concentric circles zeroing in on the life of Mormonism’s most contentious figure. We, as a history community, have been robbed of a critically-acclaimed play’s final act, when all the sophisticated themes were to finally weave together."[9]

WP:GNG - Ante Bakmaz

Hi Johnpacklambert,

In recognition of your concerns regarding this article, I have searched for (and since added) a number of additional references outside of the typical match reports etc. I was wondering if you would consider these articles enough to satisfy the WP:GNG criteria.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Harsens Island, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Native Americans (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Patrick Mason, April 17: "If I’m going to be completely honest with myself, I have to admit that I was working on a biography of Ezra Taft Benson.

Other scholars, especially Matt Harris, have lapped me on their Benson research at this point."[11]--Hodgdon's secret garden (talk) 23:54, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

request about an AFD started by a sock

Hi, you participated at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mitu Bhowmick Lange after that AFD was started by a now-blocked sock, one of a number of AFDs started by the linked sock accounts. Perhaps they were trying to confuse about their contributions as part of bigger plan to get rid of one target article. Then they AFD'd a bunch of articles started by me, because i called them a likely sock and participated at the SPI. Most of these AFDs have been closed as Technical Keep or similar after they were confirmed as socks, where there were no "delete" votes by anyone else. I wonder if you would please help resolve this one AFD by your withdrawing your "Delete" vote and then closing it yourself, which you could do as then there would be no outstanding Delete votes. It is your right not to, on basis of your sincere judgment about the quality of the article, but I think you might agree the article is not too horrible and that this AFD about it is not the way forward about it. Maybe it could be tagged, and leave possibility of a future AFD. It just seems crummy for good editors to be stuck continuing a discussion started by an abuser of the community, and with the discussion and voting confused, so I thought I'd try asking for your help. No problem if you choose not to. Thanks for considering. --Doncram (talk) 23:18, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Overcategorization

Hi there! I just removed some of the categories you added to Ralph Vary Chamberlin, as Overcategorization. Subjects should generally categorized by defining traits or other central characteristics, rather than trivial, ephemeral, or arbitrarily intersecting traits (see WP:Defining). Thus, a Latter Day Saint who worked in Pennsylvania for 2 years probably shouldn't go in Category:Latter Day Saints from Pennsylvania, as their religion has no relevance to their residence, but might warrant it if their noteworthy accomplishments in Pennsylvania were LDS related (a rough rule of thumb for categories is "would a book on (category name) plausibly include this topic?"). If you've made such additions to other articles, please take a moment to reconsider the relevance and appropriateness, and consider paring down to only the most defining category/ies. Cheers! --Animalparty! (talk) 20:28, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Ethnic Armenian film directors

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Category:Ethnic Armenian film directors, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Take part in a survey

Hi Johnpacklambert

We're working to measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms. We want to ask you some questions about how you value being able to edit Wikipedia.

Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.

As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Click here to access the survey: https://mit.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eXJcEhLKioNHuJv

Auto unblock request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Johnpacklambert (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider. Since the web host acts like a proxy, because it hides your IP address, it has been blocked. To prevent abuse, these IPs may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

If you do not believe you are using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined using whatismyip.com. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. If you are using a Wikipedia account you will need to request an IP block exemption by either using the unblock template or by submitting an appealing using the unblock ticket request system.

Accept reason:

  • Comment I removed my first request since it seems this is an autoblock. For what it is worth I am using the same computer I have used for years, and the exact same internet connection set up I have used since July.John Pack Lambert (talk) 07:16, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • This is pretty confusing. I modified your unblock request slightly so that it doesn't have nested unblock requests. It looks like I hard blocked 104.143.192.0/19 as a colocation webhost after a bunch of spammers used it. Are you using privacy-enhancing browser add-ons or anything? They might route your traffic through a webhost. The other major thing that might cause that is if you're editing from work. They might route your traffic through some kind of content-control software service. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:52, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm editing from home. I don't know of any privacy enhancements I am using.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:16, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't understand why you're suddenly on this hard blocked IP address. Both you and another person at the same time, actually. I've heard of meddling ISPs that screw around with their customers' IP traffic (forcing them to use dubious web services that "enhance" their experience), but this seems completely random. I don't see anything untoward, so I'd be OK with granting IPBE. I'd suggest considering a time-limited permission (such as a week or a month) to see if it clears up the problem.

Jack N. Gerard is notable

There is now an unjustified Notability tag on the article on Jack N. Gerard. With the block on editing in place that was defended by the editor who posted this tag, I have to for now seek other ways to make sure this unjustified action is not continued.

A paragraph should be added "Gerard as head of the API worked to increase outreach to ethnic minorities and hired people with connections to Democrats to move beyound a perception the interests of oil were only the interests of Republicans. He also replaced streamlined and narrowed the goals that API aimed at." with the reference for this portion being this [12] Fortune magazine article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:09, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:1949 establishments in Cameroon

A tag has been placed on Category:1949 establishments in Cameroon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Non-existent categories

Information icon Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Aransas City, Texas, please make sure that the category page actually exists. In some cases, it may be appropriate to create a new category in accordance with Wikipedia's categorization guidelines, but it is usually better to use the most specific available existing category. It is never appropriate to leave a page categorised in a non-existent category, i.e. one whose link displays in red. You may find it helpful to use the gadget HotCat, which tests whether a category exists before saving a change. Thank you. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:56, 7 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So I was looking at the shortest bios, one page you have contributed to before (which is why I'm sending this) is María Julia Mantilla Mayer, now usually I put the dead link tag, but in this case the dead link sent me to a site that had a pop up box asking me something.

(There was one who did a few years back who I was very close to XFD until I clicked on the IMDB link to only find out she was a Emmy nominated screenwriter-something that was left out) Wgolf (talk) 02:16, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Chicken Shack (Michigan)

Notice

The article Chicken Shack (Michigan) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Two-fold. Doesn't satisfy WP:NCORP, also, name is too generic for us to carry an article about a single company under this name.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of D-bar-A Scout Ranch

Hello Johnpacklambert,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged D-bar-A Scout Ranch for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Year of establishment categories

Hi John. I noticed you added year of establishment categories to some football grounds articles (like Holiday Park (Durham)). Is "establishment" the right term to use for buildings or locations? It seems a bit awkward to me. We already have Category:Sports venues completed in 1923 (which itself is a subcategory of Category:Buildings and structures completed in 1923. Interested to know your thoughts. Cheers, Number 57 16:38, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

football grounds, stadiums etc have institutional functions so that it makes sense to say they were established.
I'm not so sure they do. They are structures or sites owned by organisations, so are not "established". Number 57 19:38, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Frustrated Wiki user here. I have seen both articles Karen Jackman Ashton and Sahar Qumsiyeh deleted. Please help me understand better. Thanks. Fullrabb (talk) 19:35, 4 August 2019 (UTC)Fullrabb[reply]

  • I would say stop with identity politics. The fact of the matter is that the reasons for deleting the article on Ashton go much deeper. Being on a university board of any kind is not a sign of notability. I would have said the same about a member of the University of Utah board. Wikipedia is not a place to right wrongs and seeking to include articles on women for the sake of including articles on women is both misguided and unwise. Way more articles on Latter-day Saint men than on Latter-day Saint women have been deleted. A key is having clear claims to notability were not present in either of these cases. Attacking people based on their sex and using it as an argument to try to exclude them from participating in Wikipedia discussions is very unwise. As I said before Wikipedia is not the place to right great wrongs or even lesser wrongs.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:42, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for this reply John, it saves me reply to exactly the same message left on my talk page. User:Fullrabb You need to be very careful about accusing others of sexual bias even with veiled comments. I have only created 2 bios and both were for women. I do not know if User:E.M.Gregory is a man or not but if you look at their user page you will see this User:E.M.Gregory#Some_of_the_articles_I_have_created_on_notable_women_of_bygone_eras so I doubt they are against having articles on women on Wikipedia. I have noticed that you have created a ton of articles on LDS women. You have peppered these articles with information about the number of times their publications have been cited. This is not usual pratice and I presume it in reaction to the comment by User:David Eppstein on one of the deletion discussions. I took the time to check out some of the articles and notably the citations for Suzanne Fei and one of her publications of the 15 citations a good portion (5 or 6) are citations from papers written by her co-authors. As John you are a member of the LDS project I wonder if you would mind having a look at the articles as this seems to be a drive to include more articles about members of the church. Fullrabb, almost all of your article creations are linked to the church and I am afraid you may be stepping over the line into a conflict of interests area and are yours may be what wikipedia describes as a single purpose account and this drive to create articles connected to the church borders advocacy IMHO. I would prefer to allow John to look at this as I trust his judgement and as a member of the church himself he could not be accused of biais. --Dom from Paris (talk) 16:51, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate both your comments and apologize if I was frustrated a few days ago. I am still very green in the Wiki-world and am still learning the norms. I agree that I've done a fair number of LDS-related articles, but many of my articles are unrelated on business, art, and sports. If I was accusatory in any way I apologize, again.

Deletion of SPLC sourced text at Michael Hart and your category deletion spree

Your dislike of the SPLC is not an encyclopedic reason for deletion of attributed text. You are also deleting categories in a rush - some that are clearly appropriate. I've mentioned this at the XFD and FTN. Doug Weller talk 09:47, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Discretionary sanctions for American politics

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.  Bishonen | talk 10:24, 30 August 2019 (UTC).[reply]

I am just letting you know that I have renominated this article for deletion here.[13]. I am contacting all contributors to that discussion to see if you wish to comment again.

Notability in priesthood

Greetings, Johnpacklambert. In this AfD discussion you stated that for our 19th century archdeacon to be notable enough to merit a Wikipedia entry we needed the subject to have "ma[d]e the main edition of Boase."

The Fanning family's descent from Edward III

Hello, Johnpacklambert...

I noticed that you deleted the reference to Elle Fanning's royal ancestry. I was wondering why you did so. It was well sourced (unless of course you have a problem with Ancestry.com, in which case other sources can be provided) and it had precedents here on Wikipedia (with Jane Fonda and Guy Ritchie being notable examples of Hollywood figures whose pages refer to their own royal ancestries).

I'll wait twenty-four hours to give you the opportunity to respond. If there are no objections, I'll then restore the reference.

Best wishes,

  • We should not be posting ancestry back 600 years that has no relevance to a person's career and life. It is trivial detail that is not defining to the individual at all.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:08, 3 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Then am I to understand that you take issue with all of the examples of us doing that previously on Wikipedia (including in the cases of the two entertainers that I cited here) or do you have a problem with the Fanning case specifically? Also, assuming that it's of no consequence is presumptuous in my opinion. Try telling a member of the family of Edith Bolling that being descended from Pocahontas is irrelevant, and see what kind of response you get.

This seems wrong, considering that WP:ANYBIO specifies people are notable if they have "received a well-known and significant award or honor." State and national titles such as these are not random beauty pageants, they are extremely well-known awards, and significant to many people although probably not to you personally. HouseOfChange (talk) 17:06, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Notable is far too low a bar to make something convey notability to its winner. There are thousands of awards that pass our guidelines for multiple but winning them does not make the recipient notable. This is especially true of beauty pagents that happen every year. It might be a different issue is say the 2012 Miss New York pageant was notable by itself, but it is not.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:32, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please link to some previous consensus supporting your opinion that beauty pageants are somehow an exception to the WP policy ANYBIO criterion "winning a well-known and significant honor." HouseOfChange (talk) 19:38, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The opening discussion here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Beauty_Pageants/Archive_7 shows a widespread view that winning a state level beauty pagent even one that is a feeder to Miss America, or winning at least some national level feeder events for Miss Universe, are not considered to be significant honors. Significant honors are awards like the Nobel Prize that recognize a large body of work over time, they are not beauty contest awards.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:09, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree, and I am seeking wider consensus at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy). HouseOfChange (talk) 20:33, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Middle-earth articles

I made a statement in a recent AfD that I thought we'd got most of the cruft articles rid of. However, after looking through Category:Middle-earth, I'm realizing that was very far from correct. I'm still not 100% for sure where to draw the line, and since you've been active in the AfDs, I'd like your opinion on some of this. It looks like articles like Thingol and White Mountains (Middle-earth) should probably go, but what about Mithril? That article is very poorly sourced, and honestly, mithril doesn't play any real role in Tolkien's works besides the dwarves looking for it and finding a Balrog instead, and the mail shirt Bilbo gets from Thorin and gives to Frodo. Where do you think the line should be drawn? Hog Farm (talk) 02:11, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've recreated Category:American trade unionists of German descent before noticing that you had nominated for deletion in December. I wish I had been notified of that discussion because, as I posted on the talk page of the category. German-American trade unionism is indeed a worthy topic on Wikipedia. Entire unions like the Brewery Workers operated in German for decades.

Prod (again)

Hi. Apologies for being blunt, but do you understand the difference between having little or no sourcing and an article being non-notable? Looking at the prods you've made on Anne Canovas, Eric Server and Billy Sands (to pick just three examples in the past 24hrs) suggests you do not. Do you believe all three of these would end in delete at AfD? What WP:BEFORE work have you done before prodding them? All the recent articles I've come across in the past 24hrs are similar - actors with a long filmography (50+ films/TV shows or more in most cases), but with only IMDB as a source. This does not equate to being non-notable.

You didn't respond to my earlier thread from last month about your prodding, but I ask you take these points onboard. However, if this continues, then WP:ANI would be an avenue to solve this issue. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 07:04, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • IMDb is not a reliable source. We should not have articles with no reliable sources. Prod delete is exactly the type of notification these articles need. If you can produce additional sources you are fully free to do so. Prod delete is meant to be used on atricles with no reliable sources. It is against Wikipedia policy for articles with no reliable sources, especially biographies of living people to exist.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:01, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi John - thanks for your reply. The opening line at WP:PROD states: "Proposed deletion (PROD) is a way to suggest an article or file for uncontroversial deletion". A bit further down, at WP:PRODNOM, point one asks "Is there a valid reason for deletion?", which links to WP:DEL-REASON. Point 8 of that states "Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:GNG, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP, and so forth)" So are you saying that an unsourced article would automatically fail the relevant notability guideline? Most of those actors would probably pass point one of WP:NACTOR, for example. Picking someone at random, inspired by the films on in the UK over the Easter break, would you say Mike Henry (American football), from Smokey and the Bandit fame, should be prodded?
There are definitely non-notable articles on WP, and I know you've done great work in expunging them, but sometimes the prods you add are not valid in all cases. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 07:38, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Let's work on a project together

Hi JPL. I have created over 350 articles. As I am far from perfect and tend towards inclusionism, a few have been deleted. Several more have been nominated for deletion and then it was decided to keep them. I am much more interested in creating content that deleting it, so I don't spend any time at AfD unless specifically summoned.

I've noticed on the few occasions we have interacted there that your tone can come across as unnecessarily hostile. Saying that I [the project and am burdensome] is some pretty strong language that I don't think really advances the conversation in any way. It certainly isn't civil. I also note that you are a prolific article creator. Thank you very much for that. However, I see that nearly 10% of the articles you have created have been deleted, a rate more than twice mine. Perhaps it is not your intent to come across so strongly, but you do. And, given that a greater percentage of my articles are kept compared to yours, perhaps it is a bit unfair for you to say that I am a burden.

All I'm asking for is a little civility and the assumption of good faith. If you are willing, I would like to collaborate on creating a new article of mutual interest. I've been making an effort lately to turn women blue. If you can think of a woman who is deserving of an article, I'd love to hear it.

Wikipedia is a little less presentist

Well, that might be overstating things. The year with the most articles categorized as births in that year moved backwards from 1989 to 1988. However we are looking at 16,674 articles in 1988 to 16,670 in 1989. We also have lots of living people articles with no mention of the birth year. Lastly, we can have very presentist articles on people who are much older than 32 so the exact top birth year tells us little, but it is still discouragingly useless. We also are now over 951,000 articles on living people, the march towards 1 million is moving forward.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:13, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see you are on a kick of examining, removing redlinks, and nominating for deletion articles on silent films and silent film actresses. You appear to be performing no contemporary media research before nominating, removing the redlinks, and performing bold, uninformed edits like your recent edit on Lillian Knight. To quote the guideline: Do not remove red links unless you are certain that Wikipedia should not have an article on the subject, or if the red link could be replaced with a link to an article section where the subject is covered as part of a broader topic. I also see someone has left a message about your tendency to remove redlinks before. Please stop removing the redlinks. It is disruptive to groups like Women in Red in particular, as they track articles needed by number of redlinks, and it also creates more work for editors of other WikiProjects who will write the articles. --DiamondRemley39 (talk) 14:30, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • It was determined that the links on Lillian Knight to the films in question were wrong. You have underestimated how many actor and actress links from films go to false positives. Excessive red links are an invitation to the creation of false links.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:37, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
At the time you made that edit, no such thing had been determined. I had established that she was an actress in western films in the early silent film days; indeed, she may be the same person as those early credits, as further research may tell... you removed the earliest credits and left the ones from 1925. Saying that she was active in film at that time rather than earlier was a bad guess... and you didn't even have to guess, but you guessed the opposite of what research and discussion, including an open link in the article, had suggested. The films I had listed in the text of the article were from 1912, which is before 1925. In short: please leave these types of edits for the people with the resources in front of them. Regarding redlinks, are you are saying you do it your way and remove them because your way is better than Wikipedia's guideline to leave them in? How do you determine what is "excessive" in a cast or film list? How do you know what has weight and what has not enough? DiamondRemley39 (talk) 15:32, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The earliest discussion in the deletion nomination was suggesting that we were talking about the person who was a beauty queen in 1924 and acted in films later in the 1920s. What I do know is there are lots of false links in cast lists, and leaving lots of red links makes this more likely to happen. If you have a list of a person's appearances it is easy to go through and confirm that the listings on those casts lists are all linked.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:34, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The "source" you cited here does not support most of the text you added: it has his title and regnal dates, nothing more.

Your opinion on recreating an article based off an old AfD (using new sources)?

Hi there, I see you on AfD a lot. You commented a year ago on this AfD here regarding an article I created when I was a newbie: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Susan_Kuhnhausen. I have learned a lot about Wikipedia (and notability) since that AfD. I have recently found some new sources for this subject as an event (and not a person) (most importantly episodes of TV shows) and I think it might be appropriate to rebuild the article as I have described at User_talk:Sandstein#Revisiting_an_old_AfD_with_some_new_sources_for_notability. I was wondering, if you have time, if you could review what I have commented on Sandstein's talk page and let me know your opinion on whether or not it would be worth the time to rebuild the article with the sources I have listed there. Thank you for any advice, Ikjbagl (talk) 01:37, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Roberto Vidal

Notice

The article Roberto Vidal has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not seeing any indication of independent notability that would meet WP:GNG. Sources provided are church publications, which I don't consider independent. Even if they were, it would still fail the part of WP:N that requires worldwide notice by general-audience publications.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 03:02, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Grandique Point Lighthouse

The first Grandique Point Light, a pole light, was established at Grand Dique Beach in 1884. So the Wikipedia entry was in the Category:Lighthouses completed in 1884 The present lighthouse at Grandique Point was under construction starting in 1906, and the new light was ready for the opening of navigation in 1907. So the Wikipedia entry was also in the Category:Lighthouses completed in 1906 (which probably should have been 1907 as that is when it went into operation). Can it not be in both categories? I see you seem to suggest it cannot as you removed it from Category:Lighthouses completed in 1906. Ken Heaton (talk)

A set back for presentism?

The birth year category we used to have the most entries in was 1989. It is now 1988. Presentism in theory would have this contantly moving forward, however there are other factors, so this is hardly a good sign against presentism. The numbers are 16761 versus 16771 so not really a signiificant difference either. We also have so many artiles on living people that lack a birth year it is hard to assume too much about these figures.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:03, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As of 10:45 AM on June 16, 2020 there were 960,236 biographies of living people on Wikipedia. The BLP category will have to grow at a rate of 201 people a day on average in net to reach 1 million biographies of living people by the end of the year. I am now confident this will not happen. 1988 and 1989 were earlier today tied for being the two largest birth year categories. Wikipedia still has major issues with presentism, however since it has since at least 2006 had a year in the 1980s as the one which was the largest birth year, it is becoming a little less presentist. Although not much. We have shifted from the most heavy number of articles being about 20 year olds to being about 30 year olds. However this is not a sign we are getting better coverage of people notable for past events, but that new notabilities older in life accued with earlier ones keep some ages more numerous.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:50, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
