Hello Kvng

Hey, I saw that you are and AFC reviewer and I am looking for a second opinion on my Draft:Mark Kendall (Director). It was reviewed a month ago and declined but I've made some small fixes and updated sources. If you could do me this favor I would appreciate it immensely. Thanks Johnysiemes (talk) 14:31, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Indian Institute of Ecology and Environment

Why was the proposed deletion tag removed without explanation? The institute is unquestionably fake, not even a single citation except to their own website. Also, reported in media as running a fake degree racket. Discuss on talk page and provide reason for keeping the article. Neurofreak (talk) 19:00, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

@Neurofreak: It looks like you've sent this to AfD. That's the right venue. PROD is for uncontroversial deletions. This one is a bit complex. ~Kvng (talk) 03:49, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Something of a garbage deprod there.

"GNG failure unsubstantiated. Other reasons given are not valid WP:DEL-REASONs." Seriously? Since only ONE reason was given, what other reasons would you care to suggest were proffered? And that being said, since you cannot prove a negative, if you believe that the subject meets the GNG, kindly disclose the reliable sources providing substantial coverage to the subject you have found. Ravenswing 00:45, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

@Ravenswing: Did you look for any sources yourself? You didn't give any indication that you did. WP:BEFORE applies to prods. ~Kvng (talk) 14:29, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

No kidding it does. I found no reliable sources giving substantive coverage to the concept of previews. Go ahead, your turn. Once again, kindly disclose the reliable sources providing substantial coverage to the subject you have found. Ravenswing 21:53, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

It would be more productive to discuss this at AfD than here. ~Kvng (talk) 13:42, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Translation = you got nothing. And now your charming revert at The Spaceship Martini. You know something, if you didn't actually support a redirect, you shouldn't have advocated one. I rather think we'll try this another way. Ravenswing 15:30, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

@Ravenswing: Sorry for being terse. We're having an unnecessarily hostile AfD discussion here that we would repeat (presumably with less hostility) at AfD.

WRT The Spaceship Martini, I apologize for not carefully comparing content with Steven Martini to assess whether merge or redirect was the right way to go. It doesn't look like you put much thought into it either. ~Kvng (talk) 16:22, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Digital signal (disambiguation)

Even if "digitus" means finger, one can not find any proof that "digital signal" could solely mean The finger. An index finger or a pinky swear suggestion would be then also digital signals. And would digital fingerprint only mean the obscene fingerprint? Everybody would be happy if someone shows a digital signal, which unambiguously means the bird. Thanks in advance! --Geysirhead (talk) 10:13, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

I thought it was a clever association that readers might appreciate. I didn't come up with it, just was amused and chose to let it be. ~Kvng (talk) 13:44, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

SocialChorus (Software)

Hello Kvng, I noticed your username coming up in a range of articles about software, and was wondering if you may be able to help with a question I have.

I put together a draft of an article about a software company, SocialChorus, which can be found at Draft:SocialChorus,_Inc. I happen to know the founder of that company (someone who has since left the company) so instead of creating the article myself I disclosed my conflict of interest here on WP:COIN and another editor there helped submit the article through the Afc process. I've also disclosed my WP:COI with the major contributor/close connection template at the top of that draft, on the Talk page of that draft, and on my user page.

I've done a fair bit of homework to ensure that it meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. The company has been reported on in the media rather consistently over the ~12 years since it was formed, and I've cited sources in this draft from TechCrunch, VentureBeat, Silicon Valley Business Journal, etc. to help establish that. I also cited a few trade publications like HR Technologist but did so only to back up minor points vs. establishing notability.

My question -- since you are familiar with articles about software companies, would you consider reviewing this draft? Regards, JeffreyArthurVA (talk) 16:01, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Accepted. ~Kvng (talk) 16:34, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Much appreciated. Two final and hopefully simple questions for you:

--Are you able to remove the close connection template from the mainspace article? My understanding from other articles is that my COI disclosure and the connected contributor template should remain (and has remained) on the article Talk page but the main article itself should no longer require that flag at the top. Is that accurate?

--Are you able to add "SocialChorusLogo.png" (already on Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SocialChorusLogo.png to the logo section in the infobox? I originally had it in the draft but a bot removed it since that type of file is not permitted in draft space.

Regards, JeffreyArthurVA (talk) 16:53, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Without doing a complete editing pass on the article, I am not comfortable removing or moving the {{COI}} banner. Other editors may feel differently but I think COI is too big of an issue to bury on the talk page.

You should be able to add the logo yourself. If you need help, you can visit the WP:TEAHOUSE. ~Kvng (talk) 18:21, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Understood--thanks very much for the direction you've provided. JeffreyArthurVA (talk) 18:28, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

"a pattern unjustified deprodding should be handled as WP:DISRUPTIVE"

You wrote it at WT:PROD but as far as I know, complaints about serial deprodders who don't use any rationale have not led to anything in the past. And I don't mean you, you usually make an argument. I can show you diffs but you probably know whom I refer to. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:29, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

@Piotrus: I don't know. I don't want to get involved. That's what WP:ANI is for. I think what I said or was trying to say was that depproding without having a reason is disruptive. This is different than deprodding without giving a reason. ~Kvng (talk) 12:54, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

The "reason" is pretty obvious if you look at the rationale at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kandor (comics), for example. Although past history at ANI shows there is unlikely to be any consensus on this, so I guess this POINTless abuse will continue. :( --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:21, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

That looks like WP:ZEAL. What am I missing? ~Kvng (talk) 16:12, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Citrix Workspace

Hi Kvng! I hope you're well. Thanks again for your help and input in clearing up confusion on the Citrix Workspace articles. Reaching out to see if you'd still be willing to carry out the interim step you suggested in our discussion at the Citrix Workspace App Talk page? Let me know if there is anything you would need from me to help with that. Thank you in advance! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 01:51, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
