Q on Deleted Page

Hi Malclmxl5, I was going to create an article page on "Japanese historical figures in popular culture", to provide something similar to the article People of the Sengoku period in popular culture, and so that main pages don't get cluttered with lists of every appearance in manga and anime, but I saw that you deleted that page in 2015. May I ask why? And do you have an objection if I re-create the page? Thanks. - Boneyard90 (talk) 20:03, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Boneyard90. Japanese historical figures in popular culture was a redirect to the article Japanese historical people in popular culture, which was deleted by User:Nakon as a result of this discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Japanese historical people in popular culture. The redirect followed (deleted by me) as it was then pointing to a page that didn’t exist. No objection from me to recreating the article - enough time has passed - though I would suggest that the key thing is to resolve the issues found at the AfD.

Laugharne Page Protection

Full protection: Content dispute/edit warring – Consensus on Notable Residents achieved after extensive examination in Talk Page Discussion,which was closed. User re-opened and revised for no good reason. Sirjohnperrot (talk) 13:58, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Sirjohnperrot: Please check your request, you seem to be referring to an article but requesting protection of a user talk page. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:15, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, it is the article content changes that are unjustified. The subjects deleted from the article's Notable Residents list were debated at length on the Talk Page and a consensus reached. Similarly with the chronological listing being changed to alphabetical. User:Verbcatcher seems not to have taken account of previous discussion and made some basic errors in his comments.Sirjohnperrot (talk) 19:12, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have amended your request at WP:RFPP. Someone else will look at it. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 19:50, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Malcolm, you blocked this, including account creation--and yet on June 15 a sock account was created from there. I don't understand how. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 03:58, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Morning Drmies. My block expired on June 7, does that clear it up? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 04:08, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I see that now--shoot, I was looking at yesterday and saw it as an active block, in that pink/reddish color, but I was coming at it from a slightly different route and just saw what I wanted to see. I did look at the date but must have calculated wrong. Thanks. Anyway, I blocked them again and am asking a steward to block Account creation. Thanks! Drmies (talk) 12:41, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure you meant to semi protect that page :) -- Luk talk 21:08, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I meant to block but hit the wrong option! :) --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:09, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

My page

hi, my page has been deleted I don't know why I put every information right about myself, Kindly put it back to draft so I can correct it and also please tell me what wrong I did, please

What page is that? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:45, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Malcolmxl5, He is most probably talking of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prateek Parmar, an article that failed WP:GNG and WP:NBIO with zero WP:RS as far I remember. ~ Amkgp 💬 03:27, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, right. The fundamental problem raised in that discussion was the sourcing. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:16, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of page

Hi, You deleted a page I created, “Charlie Powell (Presenter)“. Could you explain why so that I can Try to get it published again please? Thanks in advance, Steve. Spifflepoos (talk) 03:22, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Spifflepoos. The page was deleted as a result of this discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charlie Powell (presenter). The challenge was that the subject did not meet the WP:GNG guideline - the general notability guideline - for an article in the Wikipedia and all participants in the discussion agreed. The fundamental problem identified was one of sourcing, that there is a lack of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject to be able to write an article that meets the guideline. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:35, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I will endeavour to find better and more independent sources. Can I amend in Sandbox and publish from there? Spifflepoos (talk) 16:52, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I don’t see why you can work on it in your sandbox, or alternatively in draft space. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:17, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Brian Maryott

Hi, wondering why the Brian Maryott page was deleted. Would like to restore it, and make any changes needed to ensure it's up to par. Thanks. WichitaLines (talk) 13:48, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, WichitaLines.

The page was deleted as a result of this discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brian Maryott. As you will see, there was consensus that Brian Maryott does not warrant an article at this time. There were two main themes: (1) that he does not meet the inclusion criteria for a politician, that is, to have held or to have been elected to a international, national or statewide office or legislative body, nor (2) does he meet the inclusion criteria of the general notability guideline, that is, there is a lack of significant coverage about Mr Maryott in reliable sources that are independent of him. There was also a concern that the article was written in a promotional manner but that is something that can often be dealt with in the normal course of editing.

Going forward, if Mr Maryott wins the election in November, he will qualify for an article under (1), so we wait for the election result, or else better sourcing is found so to meet (2). --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:37, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Charlie Talbert (10 January 2016)

I began the process of creating a page about the actor Charlie Talbert using articles from the Journal Times and Chicago Tribune--published around the time of his largest film role (1995's Angus)--among the references. I discovered a previous Wikipedia article on this actor had been deleted, and was given to understand that I needed to confirm with you (according to the creation and deletion talk pages) before recreating the article. As these published sources are specifically about the actor, including his chance discovery/casting, they seem to indicate notability, at least during years surrounding the film's release (and it is my understanding that Wikipedia's policy is "notability is not temporary").
