Please clear speedy deletion message on MXE Entertainment page

Hello @cryptic. I have been looking through the page MXE Entertainment and it clearly shows no advertisments and has reliable such as the real competitions results for the awards, Notices and News from the MXE Entertainment original websites and some magazines such as Channel Magazine and the Westlake Boys High School website and Westlake Girls website. This shows that this it uses secondary sources from other websites that is not from its own. The person who made this page was not releated to anyone in MXE Entertainment and I thinks this dosnt deserve to be apart of the Speedy deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.24.75 (talk) 01:29, 9 June 2017‎ (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion clear for MXE Entertainment page

@cryptic I have read this wikipedia page and I disagree with remvoving this page because it has secondary sources such as a magazine and also other relevent websites. This page also has alot of reliable sources which explains and shows proof of the information and text of this article and wiki page. There are alot of fans of MXE Entertainment artists and I think they wont be happy with this deletion nomination. This page is fine to be a wiki page but it just needs more editiong. Please remove this deletion nomination from the wiki page MXE Entertainment as MXE Entertainment deserves recognition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pppx1 (talk • contribs) 01:41, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please read this brief article about the First Law of Holes, to start with. You've dug yourself into quite a deep one.
First order of business - The Wikipedia community is intolerant of people who create lots of accounts and log out to edit as IPs in order to avoid blocks and to look like they're multiple people. Extremely intolerant, and you've gotten to the point where we've been blocking you on sight, and deleting things you've written on sight merely because it was you that wrote them, without even having to debate them on their merits, as I tried to do at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MXE Entertainment. It's possible to come back from sockpuppetry this severe, but only just barely: I've seen it happen maybe twice. There's a guide at WP:SOCKBLOCK, and you'd do well to read that entire page.
As for the article itself: to all appearances, this "company" exists only in the mind of its high-school-age founder, who doubled down by creating a site for it through a predatory website-builder website and falsely claimed his moderately-successful high school choir was "signed" to the company (which I expect would both surprise and dismay the other students, their director, and their school). I've been proven wrong about such things before, it's true; but proof comes in the form of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, and you've yet to provide that - and no, articles that have only passing coverage of the choir and don't even mention either you or this company aren't significant coverage. On the other hand, you've gotten articles about yourself protected from creation at at least three titles so far; there's an amusing, though a bit overly jargon-laden, essay at User:JzG/And the band played on... about what continuing down this path will lead to even if you do someday become notable. —Cryptic 07:06, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wynyard Group

Please help me to recreate Wynyard Group page as its a notable company and its wikipedia page must exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by James aaron (talk • contribs) 11:55, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@James aaron: Four thoughts, in no particular order.
  • If you're employed by the company or otherwise being compensated to create the article, you must formally declare that, per our Terms of Use, specifically §4.7, Paid contributions without disclosure. After that, please read our guidelines on editing with a conflict of interest (simplified summary, full guideline).
  • Any article you create is going to have to be completely in your own words, not copied from the company's web page. (Though I do apologize for my mispaste of a different url at the start of my deletion summary.)
    • Even if you happen to have written the text on that webpage, we can't re-use it here without going through all the requirements at WP:DCM, which, in particular, grant everyone in the world a free license to copy and modify it. Hardly any organizations of any size are willing to do this, especially once their legal departments get wind of the idea.
  • You'll have to show that the company meets our inclusion criteria (full version, simplified (but non-specific) summary). In particular, reprints of the company's press releases and links to searches for them are of no use.
  • I suggest submitting the article through the Articles for Creation system rather than attempting to create it directly in mainspace. —Cryptic 12:13, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I will follow the same. Will contact you if need your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by James aaron (talk • contribs) 13:03, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Earl E. Smith

Hi Cryptic, I am trying to do a page for myself being the only computer literate punk rocker in the crew, I am just KINDA getting the hang of wikipedia. You took down a page I tried to create cuz I blanked it. I figure I'll try harder tomorrow with better references, I was being lazy and didn't really list too much. I will try to adhere to wikipedia's standards better next go around. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Earl E. Smith (talk • contribs) 08:51, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Earl E. Smith: You should really read our guideline at WP:Autobiography, and at least skim our inclusion criteria at WP:Notability (music). I don't edit musicians' articles much, but it looks like you probably do meet our criteria; any article you write should make that clear. In any case, I strongly, strongly recommend you create the article through the WP:Articles for creation process rather than directly in mainspace. —Cryptic 09:03, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Cryptic! I will try it then when I do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Earl E. Smith (talk • contribs) 19:37, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lil Pump

Hello Cryptic, I am trying to create a wiki page for the song artist, Lil Pump. I do not know everything that there is to know, but I feel that I know enough to at least get the page going. I know his birth name, Gazzy Garcia, his birthday, August 17, 2000, and some of his background. And hopefully we could avoid any possible deletion again. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrapperOfTheCentury (talk • contribs) 14:27, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@TrapperOfTheCentury: Work on the draft at Draft:Lil Pump. You're going to have to provide evidence that he meets our inclusion criteria (full guideline, simplified summary). And take a look at this cautionary tale; this person is already four or five steps along that path, which is why you can no longer create an article for him directly in the main namespace. —Cryptic 14:57, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lil Pump - Not the same request as above

Sorry for bypassing you initially . Wasn’t aware that I needed to ask you first but I obviously read the instructions wrong. I filed a request to have the page Lil Pump unprotected so I could move a draft I created. I know that someone else had created a different draft and also see they made the same request above. I believe the concern on that draft is notability. Subject does meet WP:NMUSIC as there are reliable sources and charted songs. I think the only concern there in my opinion would be the page turning into WP:FANCRUFT or promotional. I will keep the page on my watchlist so that I can help keep that from happening. I would actually prefer to unprotect and move the draft I created, not the draft referenced by the user in the section above, as it is cleaner and uses reliable sources while showing the charted songs that establish the notability. Can you review my request here and let me know? Thanks.--DoubleuWW (talk) 00:15, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Replied at RFPP. —Cryptic 20:28, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to bother you again, but this is getting frustrating for me so hopefully you can steer me in the right direction. I have created numerous pages for notable artists but this one I cannot because of others who have tried to spam Wikipedia. At your suggestion, I submitted to articles for creation and it still has not been reviewed. Since that time, I see the creation of a an Italian Wikipedia page for the artist (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lil_Pump) and more significant coverage of the subject continues to come up every day. It's now my personal goal to get this live as I feel like I am being lumped into a group of bad editors when I am actually a good contributor to the site. If you can please unlock the page so I can move it the main space I would appreciate it. If others feel that it is not notable, they can go through the normal articles for deletion process, although I doubt that will be an issue as the artist is notable. Sorry to vent, I am just feeling frustrated with the whole process. --DoubleuWW (talk) 04:32, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm really not qualified to assess articles about musicians, unless they're as bad as the ones that originally got the title protected. The last thing I want to do is move it into mainspace just to have it get deleted again by someone who knows what they're doing in this subject area. Draft:Lil Pump (2) is objectively better than the submitted and resubmitted and reresubmitted version at Draft:Lil Pump, though. @Robert McClenon: I don't suppose you'd be willing to take a look at it again on that basis? —Cryptic 18:11, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Someone left a note on the draft saying "A Wiki is not a reliable source and most of the other sources are also not reliable." I am not going to bother to leave them a message as it appears they don't edit Wikipedia that often - I also don't see how they would be more qualified to assess notability than I would be seems how I edit Wikipedia in the music genre. At this point, I am not sure how you are unqualified to assess the article - If you compare WP:NMUSIC to the article, you will see he has charted and has significant coverage in reliable sources, including The New York Times. In fact, I am qualified to assess the article but I feel like I am being made to jump through hoops that I shouldn't have to. I have done nothing but make good contributions on Wikipedia, but please let me know if I am not welcome and I will gladly walk away. Sorry to vent, but I feel at this point that I am not part of the community and being treated like a second class editor.--DoubleuWW (talk) 02:21, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for Nestaway

This is a request to review Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nestaway since the organization should now meet the notability criteria for WP:ORG and WP:ORGDEPTH with recent in-depth news links in independent articles. There are bylined news articles written by staff writers and not only press releases. The references that do meet the guidelines as per my understanding are mentioned below:
References

Kindly review all the references thoroughly because most of them are not mere announcements or press releases, they are about the brand. RajkGuj (talk) 16:36, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Some of these were in the article; some were discussed in its afd. Having a byline by a staff writer (and no, I didn't need the patronizing links to our articles on those concepts) is not evidence of reliability or effective editorial oversight - the first three articles you list substantially reproduce the same press release. The remainder are either passing mentions or routine coverage of the startup as a startup, which don't meet WP:CORPDEPTH. So I think the G4 deletion of your article at NestAway was valid. WP:Deletion review is, as you seem aware, your avenue of appeal. —Cryptic 14:16, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to Admin confidence survey

Hello,

Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.

The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.

To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.

We really appreciate your input!

Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

Legacypac deleting, altering, and striking out other editors' comments

A couple of days ago I informed Legacypac that he edited a comment of mine after the discussion was formally closed. He didn't know what I was talking about, and before I got the chance to show him the diff, he deleted another editor's comment off of my talk page. I think he needs that block you offered so he'll desist from repeating this in the future. Bright☀ 05:31, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Had no idea what he was talking about, and he did not provide a diff though he accused me on my talk page and posted nastiness on the talkpage of an editor with a 3 year grudge. User:BeyondMyKen does not deserve to have his name in an ANi header with a false allegation and I don't deserve to be trolled like this. Hope this boomerangs on BrightR. Legacypac (talk) 05:47, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
With respect, no one is "trolling" you. You have been repeatedly, politely asked - over a period of years (see catalog, here: [2]) - to stop editing and deleting other editors talk page comments. You've been warned by admins on three separate occasions, on top of it. Far from stopping, you've actually started deleting editors comments in which they complain about you deleting their comments [3]. Once again, we kindly ask you please do not edit our talk page comments. If you find material posted to a Talk page objectionable or a possible violation of policy, the best course of action is to bring it up at ANI, or notify an Oversighter who can strike it if warranted. This procedure has been previously explained to you on multiple occasions, I believe? Thank you. DocumentError (talk) 20:47, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have not interacted with DocumentError for about 3 years until they tried to turn Rubin's ArbComm case into an opportunity to attack me. [4] for context. Legacypac (talk) 21:35, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Again, no one is trying to "troll" or "attack" you. We just want you to stop editing and deleting our Talk page comments. It's very disruptive. If you feel attacked, you should bring it to the attention of ANI, so the offending parties can be dealt with - not just start editing others comments. I feel like this has been explained to you many, many times? Thank you. DocumentError (talk) 23:36, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Legacypac: whatever you deserve, don't edit other people's comments. Bright☀ 13:47, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to have time free to look into this properly in a timely fashion. (Plus, I have a content dispute with him showing up in my last 50 edits.) Take it to WP:AN if you still think it needs administrator action. —Cryptic 20:37, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

===> Hi Cryptic. You Deleted a page that I wrote (A+ World Academy). Could you please give me some feedback on what changes that should be made exactly so that it can be reopened. It can easily be stripped down to just a factual page describing the special school.

Truce Sport

Dear Cryptic, I created the Truce Sport article, and you deleted it. I would really appreciate it if you provide me with the reason why you deleted it. I would like to express my sincere opinion, that Truce Sport works as an organization to bring awareness on th eglobal sport system. It is not a company that makes profit. If the policies of Wikipedia requires to mention that Truce is a non-profit, I will, as its not receiving or providing any type of compensation. It is not an advertising. Hope to hear from you soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stavros Triandafylides (talk • contribs) 15:03, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you know that I deleted it, you know the reason I deleted it, to wit, "G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion". There is literally no way to coax Wikipedia into showing you one of these pieces of information without the other.
Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia written by volunteers. It is not a free web host for advertising copy about organizations you founded. You would be aware of this had you spent even a minimal amount of time familiarizing yourself with it before, or even following either of the two links in my deletion summary after, attempting to abuse it as such. If you are willing to write about topics to which you are not directly connected, you are welcome to do so. Otherwise, your time here is likely to be short and unpleasant.
Your route of appeal is Wikipedia:Deletion review. Before taking it there, you should first read the entirety of Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. —Cryptic 15:40, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@C𝒪uba: You're able to edit WP:SANDBOX. Beyond that, I'm unsympathetic. Part of the reason for a user name is to facilitate communication with other users.

Mayestron (musician)

Hello, I just wanted to create an article on wikipedia, but it says that, it has already published before and if I want to recreate again, instead of creating, straight I would like to contact you first of all. I just want to know why it was deleted?. This is what is says whenever I try to recreate it - If you are creating a new page with different content, please continue. If you are recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, or are unsure, please first contact the user(s) who performed the action(s) listed below. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Suzanese (talk • contribs) 20:59, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Suzanese: The previous contents, not even a full sentence long, stated only that he was an "upcoming artist". The inclusion criteria for musicians are at WP:NMUSIC; the article not only didn't show that this person met them, it didn't say anything to imply that he might. —Cryptic 02:45, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I see now that the more natural title at Mayestron was protected from creation due to abuse, hence the unnecessary disambiguator (musician); and that it was repeatedly created by a banned user. I therefore advise you not to create the article directly, an instead to submit a draft article through the WP:AFC process. ​ —Cryptic 02:50, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

United Conservative Party (Canada)

[5] title created just yesterday is an ill advised page move that was promptly reversed. It's a misleading redirect. Legacypac (talk) 07:57, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hm. I'll admit I misread the page history - I'd thought this was the original title of the article - but how is it misleading? Is there a national party of the same name? —Cryptic 08:02, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Conservative Party of Canada is not officially affiliated with UCP in Alberta but it came out of a from a "Unite the Right" movement. The New Democratic Party is a single party federally and in the provinces - but is styled as Alberta (or whereever) NDP. The Liberal Party of Canada]] has separately incoprorated provincial wings, but in BC the Liberal Party of BC is NOT related to the federal party (it's more a Conservative party that includes federal Liberals ). Given how parties work in Canada tagging (Canada) on the end of a provincial party is very weird and misleading. Legacypac (talk) 08:20, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You've established that it's a misnomer, but not an implausible one. This is where'd I'd move the article if it genuinely needed a disambiguator, and also, I suspect, where just about anyone else unfamiliar with Canadian politics would. This isn't the kind of clear-cut case that R3 was created for, and the dab page in the history here doesn't help matters either. RFD is the right call; spending a week there with a prominent "this redirect is likely to be deleted" tag stuck to it isn't going to cause substantial harm. —Cryptic 08:33, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You did neither of those things, instead just including external links to the books' websites.

Question about BizWest entry

Hello,

I am an owner of the BizWest publication and company featured on Wikipedia. I was wondering whether/how someone connected with a company could suggest an addition or two. I only recently became aware that an entry for our publication existed, and I'm unsure of the rules, guidelines and process for recommending any additions. Nothing in the post is inaccurate, but some additional information might be valuable. Thank you for your help, and I apologize if this is not the correct forum!

Hi User:Marsonaut thanks for your interest in accuracy. Go to BizWest and post your comments in the talkpage. I'll work with you to correct the page. Legacypac (talk) 17:19, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Marsonaut: The short version: editing the article yourself isn't forbidden but is very strongly discouraged; you may make suggestions at Talk:BizWest; and you must be transparent about your conflict of interest. (Thank you for being so here.)
The long version is detailed in our wmf:Terms of Use (specifically §4.7) and Conflict-of-Interest policy. There's a slightly less excruciatingly-verbose summary of the latter at WP:PSCOI. You should read through at least that and our terms of use. —Cryptic 17:35, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Rohit Shelatkar Page Deletion

Hi Cryptic, I just can't understand why the page is getting deleted. I have provided all the required genuine references for the information mentioned on that page. Can you please help recover that page. Rohit Shelatkar is an Indian film Producer & Distributor and recently producing a film name Panipat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panipat_(film) Here also you can find his name is mentioned as Producer. Shaddycrook (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:33, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No. This content was repeatedly found inappropriate, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rohit Shelatkar and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rohit Shelatkar (2nd nomination). You don't get a veto over that just so you can get a paycheck. Your route of appeal is Wikipedia:Deletion review. —Cryptic 14:36, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alexis Lewis the Inventor

Please recover my page. I can fix it, this is for a school assignment. I am not making a real wiki page.ChayByron 23:23, 23 April 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheralbyron (talk • contribs)

Then I would advise not submitting it to a real wiki. —Cryptic 00:06, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Cheralbyron: I have to agree with Cryptic here. You were told repeatedly that your submission was not up to article standards. I even moved it to Draft: space so you could work on it and have the work to show your instructor. You should not be surprised, then, when you moved the article back to main space again, that it was speedy deleted—just like you had been warned twice before would happen. —C.Fred (talk) 01:25, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Formal request for help as my edits are being vandalized :

Also being falsely accused by vandalizing editors - can you help me? - 100.14.103.84 (talk) 03:03, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested undeletion

Greetings! I was wondering if you might be willing to undelete a page I recently tagged for speedy deletion under CSD G4, User:Rpmasson/hybrid-core. The reason is that the relevant AfD was closed as an ambiguously-consensual merge to Heterogenous computing, which was deleted a year later as a copyright violation. The latter was eventually recreated without the merged content. A Google search indicates the topic is probably notable as a stand-alone article (and I'll defend it at AfD if it goes there again). I would like to compare the draft to what is currently saved in the redirect's page history and merge them if they are dissimilar, or request a histmerge if they're identical. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 17:34, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's identical to this revision except that it didn't have the last paragraph mentioning the HC-1, which is why I honored the G4 despite being in userspace. I'll perform the history merge if you restore the article and inform me of it; otherwise, do you still need it undeleted? (I probably won't take action for eight or nine hours, though; you caught me literally as I was on my way out the door.) —Cryptic 17:44, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I have restored the article without that unnecessary last paragraph. Please perform the history merge at your earliest convenience. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 23:31, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Laurelton Fire Company No.1

Hey, I noticed you deleted Draft:Laurelton Fire Company No.1. However, I thought there might have been some potential there. Could you restore? Thanks, Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 22:41, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It consisted entirely of a slogan, a link to www.facebook.com/LaureltonFire, and the google search link you added. Maybe there's some potential for the subject, but what was in the draft will be of exactly zero help in realizing it.
If you really want it, enable an email address and I'll be willing to mail it to you. —Cryptic 23:07, 26 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Not worth it then. Thanks, Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 05:02, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You deleted

You deleted a speedy deletion tag, A7,I put on this article ... It is not that I want the article deleted, but there are 2 things wrong. 1, the article cites NO sources. 2, there is NO evidence that this book was of particular importance to have a separate page. --Kingdamian1 (talk) 18:44, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't want a page deleted, then don't tag it for speedy deletion. The page is ineligible in any case; speedy deletion criterion A7 is strictly limited to non-fictional individual people or animals, to companies and organizations, to web content, and to organized events. Books are none of those. —Cryptic 18:48, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Honestly, there is no evidence that this book is of particular importance, or more important than other books to warrant its own page.[8] The fact that it cites 0 sources doesn't help it --Kingdamian1 (talk) 18:59, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Then redirect it or take it to afd as I suggested. (Or prod it, I suppose.) It's not a speedy deletion candidate and it's not going to get speedy deleted. Arguing about its importance or sourcing isn't going to change that. —Cryptic 19:02, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article Creation

Hii, I would like to create this article on this Company Named Novotech Australia Pty Limited (https://novotech-cro.com/) I would request your suggestion on this. Veilplot (talk) 04:30, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well. First thing you'll have to do is disclose any previous accounts you've created here as well as your connection to the company. The latter especially is mandated by local policy on the English Wikipedia and Wikimedia's terms of use.
For an article on this company to survive, it's going to need clear and convincing evidence that it passes our inclusion criteria for companies. Such evidence comes in the form of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. In particular, the press releases in the previous articles about this company weren't reliable, weren't secondary, and weren't independent.
Lastly, agents of this company have tried to get an article into Wikipedia so obviously, so poorly, and so persistently that it's been banned from creation except by administrators. You're going to need to submit a well-written draft about the company, based on proper sourcing as outlined above, and which isn't immediately deletable as promotional, through the process of Wikipedia:Deletion review to have any hope of getting that lifted. —Cryptic 23:07, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2018 June 26

Eek. That's the second time today that I've accidentally blanked stuff while posting to a discussion. Thanks for the revert! I'll routinely view changes for now before hitting save, until I can work out what's wrong here. Firefox bug maybe. TMGtalk 18:34, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

CSD at a user page

here (noticed that page after seeing my own edits tagged with that filter here)

With my (limited, but still adequate enough for this) understanding of German, this indeed appears to be a purely promotional page which "would need to be fundamentally rewritten" to conform with policy (trans. "Bookmundo is a German self-publishing platform where authors can freely publish their books. [...]"). Since it seems you do have admin tools, that page can be deleted. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 00:35, 4 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
