Vicci Laine Article

Hi, I have added the links to the above page. Thank you for the suggestion. I also deleted the box requesting links be added. I hope that is ok. Thanks for the help. I am new here and trying to make this the best page possible for her. Baileysmom (talk) 15:59, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Matt Duke (musician) Article

Hello, I see that you protected the deleted article Matt Duke (musician) on March 9, 2009 and it can no longer be recreated. I understand there were instances of copyright related issues with the page, as well as consistent recreation of the page after a deletion discussion took place. However, most of the core issues with this page, including the fact that the page did not display any reason for notability for Matt Duke and the lack of credible sources to support the information on the page, would no longer be an issues if the page is allowed to be created again.

I am not sure what copyright issues caused the previous deletion before yours, but upon my proposed re-creation for the page, I can assure you that many credible sources will be cited (including references and features from Teen Vogue, MSN, Perez Hilton, ABC News, the Columbia City Paper and others) and copyright infringment will not be an issues in any way. Also, Matt is now signed to a notable record label, Rykodisc, which is owned by Warner Music Group, so I feel two years after the first article was created, he is now definitely a more established artist at this point and has achieved the required notability for Wikipedia. Thank you for your consideration, I do hope you decide to release the protection on this page so this artist can finally have a decent article created about him. Dr3w05 (talk) 18:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I'd suggest you create a version of the page at User:Dr3w05/Matt Duke (musician), making sure that you address the issues from past deletions, especially the lack of sources and not meeting the notability requirements of WP:MUSIC. When you think it's ready, put a {{helpme}} tag on your talk page (note the curly brackets) and have an experienced editor look it over. Once it's ready for main space (and only when it's ready), put an {{adminhelp}} tag on your talk page, and any admin who comes along can move it over for you. HTH!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:25, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I will definitely get on this. Dr3w05 (talk) 00:11, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Vicci Laine page

Thank you so much for the "minor formating" you did for this page. I believe so much in how this person lives her life and what she does for her community that I wanted her to have a great page and, you have helped to make it better! Thanks again for your help.

Barnegat Fund Management - nominated for deletion?

I don't understand why you want to delete this article. It makes no false claims. Asks no one to invest. States only facts. And the article appears to be under construction. Can you lay our in English (not Wiki shorthand) where this article goes wrong so that its contributors can make proper amendments? --Djbarnes (talk) 19:27, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

The deletion page has a link to the issue, which is Wikipedia:Notability, especially Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Also, you should take some time to read WP:COI.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:03, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Coppell Copperheads

Yup, spotted that and corrected it.. in all the other ones. Doh. Thanks for picking up on it :). Ironholds (talk) 16:24, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem. I'm sure you'll need to do the same for me one day. :) --Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:25, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tyler Herron

Found anything new on this guy? If you have I'd be happy to withdraw. This may sound silly with all my AFD work but I really don't like deleting stuff. Also, can you review John Drennen? Another article on a minor league player whose speedy deletion I declined. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:26, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

I may not have time today or tomorrow, but for sure by Wednesday I can take a look. Cheers!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:35, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Haven't had time to revisit Tyler Herron yet, but I did take a look at John Drennen and added a few sources there. That one's tricky (and would be controversial, so declining the speedy was definitely appropriate). On the keep side, we have first round draft pick, South Atlantic League all-star (which I didn't add to the article), and lots of sources available. On the merge to Cleveland Indians minor league players side, we have the fact that first round draft pick being notable is a minority position, the SAL is class A ball, so an all-star appearance giving notability isn't widely accepted, and other than the North County Times article, most of the press is due to the homer off Roger Clemens, which is not a unique event (Clemens gave up 363 in the majors). If this came up to AfD, I'd be in the merge camp, but I probably wouldn't bother to nominate it myself. Hope that helps a bit. :) --Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:08, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Another thought: User:Hit bull, win steak is brilliant at finding baseball sources. If he's around, he might be willing to give it a look. --Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:04, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

I took another look at Tyler Herron and didn't find any more. :( --Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:49, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Formal Mediation for Sports Logos

With your input and agreement to work through mediation, it is hoped we can achieve a lasting solution. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:39, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

new entry

Hello,

I see that you have helped delete the "widwi" entry from wikipedia. Can you please explain to me why widwi should be removed or what I missed to make it qualify to stay? I don't see how it's an less relevant then the many other websites defined in wikipedia.

Thanks for your help.

- Aaron —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aprice88 (talk • contribs) 15:30, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

The article didn't show how it met the requirements of Wikipedia:Notability (web), particularly Wikipedia:Notability (web)#Criteria. (You might also want to read WP:OTHERSTUFF.) HTH! --Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Also, you should spend some time carefully reading WP:COI. Wikipedia really isn't the place to be advertising your web site.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:35, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it is my site, but I am not put it up for advertising. I will review the posting rules again, but I don't see the harm in leaving up the entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aprice88 (talk • contribs) 17:06, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Ah

Thank you for letting me know about that, much appreciated :). Murgon (talk) 14:57, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

The Immaculate Mules

The band, The Immaculate Mules is in the music charts and has been broadcasted by various DJ's and VJ's throughout canada. I see no reason that you need to delete my Wiki. I have all rights to write about this band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Immaculatemules (talk • contribs) 16:43, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Then, as I suggested on your talk page, you need to write a version that tells us the band meets the requirements of WP:MUSIC. If you need time to make such a version, try creating it at User:Immaculatemules/The Immaculate Mules, which will give you more, but not unlimited, time to work on it. When you think it's ready, put a {{helpme}} template (note the curly brackets) on your talk page and ask an experienced editor to look it over before moving it to article space.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:48, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Searchme

Since you are one of the active admins at Special:Log/delete, I've come here to ask you userfy the contents of Searchme to User:Cunard/Article/SearchMe. I'm certain that I can source and expand the article with the large number of sources found in Google News Archive. The two other admins I asked have been unresponsive to my request, even though they were editing when I posted my requests. Please be more responsive than they. Thank you very much! Cunard (talk) 16:59, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

The most recent version basically said Searchme is a search engine, with about 4 more sentences of advertising. There really isn't anything to userfy. Probably best to start from scratch on that one. HTH!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:01, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

What about the other four versions? Cunard (talk) 17:02, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Only version with anything is the March 13, 2008 version. I'll userfy that for you in a second. Good luck... you'll need it. :) --Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:06, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 Done--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:08, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for userfying it! Hm, SearchMe does indeed need a lot of work, but at least I don't have to fill in an infobox. By the way, if I make such requests in the future, should I do it at WP:DRV, or is it okay for me to choose a random admin who is active at Special:Log/delete? Cunard (talk) 17:10, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Probably the best way is to make a request at WP:REFUND (which stands for REquest For UNDeletion, but I like the unexpected acronym a lot. I also wanted to see WP:UNDEAD link there, but apparently not everyone has my warped sense of humor). WP:REFUND was created to take care of these kind of uncontroversial undeletions, to take some load off WP:DRV.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:18, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

That's a nice link to remember. I'm going to start "unkilling" this article now, so that it can be "undied". Cunard (talk) 17:22, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Hope you don't end up with a zombie on your hands. ;-) --Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

My zombie is not dead anymore, but it's not 100% alive (in mainspace) yet. When you get the chance, would you restore File:Searchmewiki.jpg and then move User:Cunard/Article/SearchMe to SearchMe? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 21:53, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

 Done and  Done. Impressive work!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:25, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for unleashing Frankenstein to the world. :) Cunard (talk) 22:40, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I think you should delete File:Searchmewiki.jpg since it's completely blank. Cunard (talk) 16:33, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

 Done. And thanks for inadvertently putting Young Frankenstein dialog in my head all night. ;-P --Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:38, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for helping out with getting the speedy deletion removed. I'll definitely work on it some more! Drinkybird (talk) 17:35, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Safari Ltd.

Why did you delete Safari Ltd. page I wasn't advertising but stating information on my company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aligraph (talk • contribs) 18:10, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Phrases like "was created to provide superior, innovative toys" and "unparalleled accuracy and uncompromising detail" are not the type of language you'd see in a neutrally worded, unbiased encyclopedia article. And since you're admitting that this is your company, spend some time carefully reading WP:COI -- writing articles about yourself or your company is strongly discouraged, precisely because of the difficulty of writing in a neutral, unbiased fashion.

If your company is truly notable, someone not connected with your company will eventually write an article on it. If you just want to let people know facts about your company, your own website is the place to do it.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 18:22, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I understand your response and thank you. so if someone were to write about our company in a neutral an unbiased fashion this will be accepted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aligraph (talk • contribs) 19:30, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

That's one requirement, but not the only one. The company also has to meet the requirements at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies).--Fabrictramp | talk to me 19:43, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

why u delete DOnE aT tWo (talk) 22:08, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

If you read the deletion notice on your talk page, you'd already know the answer: "because the page appears to have no meaningful content". --Fabrictramp | talk to me 22:11, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

u unpatriotic?????? It's a theory on 9/11, it IS meaningful! DOnE aT tWo (talk) 22:17, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
