Re Article:Cahir O'Higgins deletion

[edit]

While I completely agree with the decision to delete this page, on the basis of the available evidence, when that decision was made, I wonder if its deletion was proposed just before material was to be published making the subject notable see: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/courts/district-court/solicitor-cahir-o-higgins-accused-of-theft-and-perverting-course-of-justice-1.4245496 FrankFlanagan (talk) 14:15, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

FrankFlanagan Apologies for the delay in relying; I was in quarantine. One news cycle does not make a person notable. Everybody gets their 15 minutes of fame. I am very hesitant to re-create an article because one newspaper article accuses a person of a crime. Please see WP:BLP1E and WP:CRIME. A while ago, we deleted an article about a school superintendent who was an unindicted co-conspirator in a school bombing - it had made the news for months in Upstate New York. I had created an article about it, and after two rounds of votes, the strong consensus was to delete it, even though he indirectly caused the death of four of his students. He was allowed to quit his job, move out of state, and is now teaching math at a little town in North Carolina. I don't see the consensus changing anytime soon.

Article undeletion

[edit]

Hello Brian:

I'm Nahshon Anderson. In March my my Wikipedia article was nominated for deletion. In April, it was removed. Since then, I have received two grants from national arts organizations. Though the grants have not been mentioned in the press, I can provide you proof via email. Will you please consider reviewing them to restore my Wikipedia article? Hope you're not too stressed out anymore. Take care.

Public Oversight (United States)

[edit]

Hi. I am the author of, "Public Oversight (United States)". I would like to bring this story back and edit it. Can you help me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lord Milner (talk • contribs) 09:13, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lord Milner, I am no longer an administrator, so I can't do that. Bearian (talk) 16:16, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

07-25-2020 JOHN J FLOOD

[edit]

My name is John J Flood and my name is on a Wikipedia page

It has been brought to my attention that the entry might be deleted

Be advised that I have a national reputation as a police union labor relations leader and expert on organized crime in the United States. 

Considered as one  of the founders of police union labor movement  in the United States of America

Any person - student of college or university police administration curriculum would be missing police unionization history should such miss a search upon the name

This posting of my history was not placed upon Wikipedia by I - but I have been cognizant of its posting by students who advised finding the information on this website

I am not computer astute and no longer employ a staff that would have such expertise - so unable to be aware of problems as to this police information and the name being on Wikipedia

Should there be any questions I can be contacted directly by phone at the below number

Thanking you for your attention to this matter and awaiting your reply, I remain

Merchants Distributors, Inc.

[edit]

Someone removed the notability tag.

Would it be proper to move the content to Lowes Foods because the two share a parent company? I don't think anyone questioned its notability.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 15:41, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vchimpanzee, yes. Please be bold and merge them please. If you need help, I will do so next week. I'm very busy IRL right now. If you have any problems, blame my sorry a$$. Bearian (talk) 22:50, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would like someone to take a look at this now that I've done it, because it still seems strange. But I saw an MDI truck last week and realized I should check on the article. Thanks.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:39, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Taking a quick glace, Vchimpanzee, it looks good. Bearian (talk) 17:24, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
August 16, 3pm: Great American Wiknic

You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our annual summer Great American Wiknic, this year being held virtually.

We look forward to seeing local Wikimedians, but would also like to invite folks from the greater New York metropolitan area (and beyond!) who might not typically be able to join us in person!

Featuring artist-Wikimedian Sara Clugage's "Picnics: An Outside History" for a cultural exploration of picnicking, knowledge and society during the national panel in the first part. We encourage you to call in for the second part from a local park or natural site and share it on the video stream, as well as sharing your favorite picnic grub or other special foods with us.

Is there a project you'd like to share? A question you'd like answered? A Wiki* skill you'd like to learn? Let us know by adding it to the agenda. The Wiknic is taking the place of "WikiWednesday" this month, so we will also include salon and knowledge-sharing workshop aspects.

3:00 pm - 4:00 pm online via YouTube (watch our national panel's livestream, and participate by text chat)
4:00 pm - 5:00 pm online via Zoom (participate by videoconference with NYC community)

We especially encourage folks to share your parks and foods on screen, and add your 3-minute lightning talks to our roster for the Zoom portion, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues!

AfD of David Fox

[edit]

Hi Bearian. If you have time, I'd be interested in your opinion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Fox (lawyer). (As you can see there, I !voted delete, but am rethinking after a WP:THREE of the article creator.) Russ Woodroofe (talk) 08:14, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Russ Woodroofe. I looked at the three sources and decided they meet WP:SIGCOV. Bearian (talk) 17:13, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks sincerely for taking a look! I appreciate the subject background you bring to AfDs of lawyers and legal scholars. (And I hope you don't mind too much that I occasionally ping you on them.) Russ Woodroofe (talk) 18:17, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
