Proposed deletion of Adam's Case Files Mixtape

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Adam's Case Files Mixtape, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:37, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Adam's Case Files Mixtape

I have nominated Adam's Case Files Mixtape, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adam's Case Files Mixtape. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 15:17, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since this article is now subject to a formal AfD discussion, it would be best if you made your comments there, as those comments would have more influence on the outcome of the discussion. Having said that, I will state again that mixtapes are generally considered not to be notable, even if they have a format similar to an album. Moreover, he is not signed by a major label or recognized indie label (hint: the label doesn't have its own Wikipedia page). Lastly, the mixtape itself is a free download, not distributed by traditional outlets. All of these means that this article fails the criteria set forth in this Wikipedia polict (click here). The only reason that the 88-Keys article itself is still here is because of his work on the production side of music and his involvement with notable artists, not for his work as a performer as of yet. But most of all, remember this: Wikipedia is not a place to promote anything at all, period. If you're writing this article to promote the mixtape, then it is not suitable for Wikipedia. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 16:24, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do understand that this album is a free download, however it is an album that was produced by this artist hence it should be a part of his history, correct? In addition, I am not promoting this individuals album or any of his work for that matter. I was simply stating that I created this page because I like this artist and I didn't know why there was not an article about this person, which is why I created it in the first place. That being the purpose of wikipedia. Like I stated before, I do understand and respect the guidlines of wikipedia, however I don't understand the point of taking the time to create a page, then have it deleted, even though there has been no copyright infringement, no rules broken, I did not offend anyone, I am not promoting an album or this artist, and I have no affiliation with this artists label. In regards to the artists label, Decon Records, this is in fact a recognized record label that represents major artists like The Alchemist and Dilated Peoples, all of which have wikipedia articles. I just have not had the opportunity to create a page for the label. I will work on finding more articles.

It's not about copyright infringement or promotion or any of that. It's a simple matter of whether or not this mixtape — and that is still what it is, despite your effort to redefine it — meets Wikipedia's notability standards. In my opinion it does not, and that opinion is apparently shared by others, because as I have said before, mixtapes in general are not considered notable enough. Again, it's best to limit your discussion to the actual AfD page, and please sign in with your user name when you do. Contacting the label or artist will not help and may actually hurt your cause, as it will then border on conflict of interest violations. I'm afraid there's not much you can do about this mixtape article. Even the best-written article in the world won't survive if the subject doesn't meet notability standards. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 10:26, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:88-Keys.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:88-Keys.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Your redirect has been reverted

It appears you have created a new article for Adam's Case Files Mixtape under a slightly different name, Adam's Case Files. In doing so you removed the AfD notice for the original article, which is a significant violation of Wikipedia policy. Moreover, it appears that you created the new file simply to avoid the deletion of the original information. This is seen as an act of bad faith, and may result in your being blocked from editing Wikipedia articles. The original article has been reverted so that the AfD discussion may continue in its proper fashion. Additionally, the new article will be included in the original AfD discussion, since the new article is nearly identical to the old one.

Please do not continue to attempt to evade Wikipedia policies in this manner. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 09:14, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did my best to justify that this album is legit, I have researched, I have changed the page to reflect its notability. I have noticed that there are other "mixtape" albums WITH articles that for some reason have not been removed. What makes these notable? I only changed the page to remove the "Mixtape" from the heading and reflect that this is an actual album. You have no right to block my editing status, I did everything you asked and I have done nothing wrong. I mistakenly removed the AfD notice when i reverted the page and i apologize. i have also edited the article to defend why it is not a mixtape, has this been read and noted? Bmedick (talk) 14:52, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As this page indicates, the fact that other similar articles exist is not a valid reason for keeping any particular article. It merely means that we haven't gotten around to tending to those articles yet. If you can point out some specific examples of mixtape articles, I will happily check them out, and nominate them for deletion if necessary.

As for having no right to block you — well actually, we do have a right to block you if you continue to disobey Wikipedia policies and guidelines. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 15:11, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Convenience Valet, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.cvalet.com/aboutus.cfm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Notability of Tha Bizness

A tag has been placed on Tha Bizness requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Dayewalker (talk) 18:49, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Convenience Valet®

A tag has been placed on Convenience Valet®, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. KurtRaschke (talk) 03:28, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

November 2008

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Convenience Valet, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. KurtRaschke (talk) 03:36, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly advise you to stop editing the Convenience Valet article. You have a clear conflict of interest, and the result has been a promotionally-worded article. I have not deleted it because it could be rewritten to a more neutral presentation, and the article makes an assertion of notability. Acroterion _(talk) 03:59, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Convenience Valet. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. KurtRaschke (talk) 03:40, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of "The Rebirth"

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

License tagging for Image:02840.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:02840.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 10:01, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Convenience Valet

You seem to be involved with this company in some capacity. While your enthusiasm is commendable, please stop re-adding the gallery of product pictures to the article. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a promotional brochure. You may wish to review our guidelines for editors who may have a conflict of interest. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 06:30, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While it may be entirely true that you "do not work for [the] company" ([1]), that doesn't really address your genuine conflict of interest. Can you genuinely, in good faith, claim that you or any close relative has no significant financial stake in the company? TenOfAllTrades(talk) 05:25, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I should phrase that differently. Your father is the COO, and your friend's father is the company's owner. It's perfectly understandable and natural to want to write about your dad's workplace, and to want to report on it. While that doesn't bar you from contributing to the article, it does generate a conflict of interest for you.

The original version of the article – the article which you created – appears to be a near-direct copy and paste from Convenience Valet's own web site: your first edit to the article, page it was taken from. (Incidentally, that's a big no-no, and the article probably should have been deleted at that point. As an administrator, the amount of similarity to the external site still makes me twitchy.) As it stands today, the article only has one source that isn't tied directly to the company, and makes many completely unsourced statements. There are many instances of Unnecessarily Capitalized Words, in the manner of Marketers who wish to draw attention to Important Concepts.

The article needs to be reviewed for neutrality (and cleaned up) by an uninvolved editor. Your heart's in the right place, but you're too close to the subject. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 14:44, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Bobby Valentino - The Rebirth.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Bobby Valentino - The Rebirth.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 03:21, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Robbie Gold Ernie Banks 2014.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Robbie Gold Ernie Banks 2014.JPG. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

Hi Bmedick I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia. Your edits to date are promotional with regard to (for example only - I have gone back that far in time) Abbvie, Robbie Gold, and Convenience Valet and have several of the hallmarks of paid editing. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Hello, Bmedick. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.

Comments and requests

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with subjects you have edited, and if you have received, or expect to receive, payment for any of your editing work? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, with please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), perhaps we can talk a bit about editing Wikipedia, to give you some more orientation to how this place works. Please reply below - I am watching this page. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 18:48, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jytdog, there is absolutely no conflict of interest and I have never been paid or intend to receive any form of monetary compensation for article edits. I am an avid Wikipedia user with thousands of edits over a span of almost 10-years. I enjoy writing articles and in the case of AbbVie this page was well written then was completely changed with a lot of information that doesn't seem necessary. Every time I edit the page AbbVie another user just reverts what I edit back to what they wrote. I have tried to protect this page many times to no avail. Please help if you can. Thank you. Bmedick (talk) 15:38, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bmedick. You are not behaving like an experienced editor. And as I noted above, I work a lot on conflict of interest/paid editing issues, and know how paid editors tend to edit. I am telling you that you are editing promotionally on a strange range of topics, creating content that violates NPOV and is poorly sourced or unsourced, and are showing a kind of ownership behavior - all of these are actually typical of paid editors. (They are) As I noted above, there is a place for paid editors here in WP - there are just certain things you need to do. This does not have to be an antagonistic process. So let me ask again - please disclose your connection to each of Abbvie, Robbie Gold, and Convenience Valet, and other topics you have edited.

If you are not a paid editor (and there is of course a possibility that you are not), I cannot make sense of your editing. But in any case there is a lot that you need to learn about creating good content, that I would be happy to discuss with you. I do hope you will work with me. I do not want this to become an antagonistic process. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 16:36, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

about this dif. Just for example. The following is 100% marketing-speak and is content that violates our WP:PROMO policy: "AbbVie Inc. is a research-based biopharmaceutical company formed in 2013 following separation from Abbott Laboratories. The company discovers, develops, and markets advanced therapies that address some of the world's most complex and serious diseases." It also directly takes language that Abbie uses to describe itself (see the boilerplate language in their press release here for example.) As such, it violates copyright. Please do not add content like that anywhere in WP. This is the kind of thing I am talking about. Badly sourced or unsourced, promotional content that is WP:COPYVIO Jytdog (talk) 17:23, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In that same dif, you added an editor's note at the top of the page: "" This is WP:OWN behavior and is expecially bad in that content you are trying to preserve violates two of our key policies. There is no reason to add that tag there. Jytdog (talk) 17:27, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jytdog I am perplexed by the insinuation that I might be a ‘paid’ editor. I have never been accused of this before after many, many edits and I am not sure where this is coming from. I did not create the AbbVie article, rather simply contributed to the article. If this is a legal matter I would definitely like to discuss in further detail. I edit for enjoyment, not profit. However, this has not been much fun after continued accusations.

I am in fact an experienced editor and almost all of my edits are sourced. The current version of AbbVie is not my handy work, this was created by another user “XyZAn”. Robbie Gold was a friend of mine and I created this page over 8 years ago, never a payment exchanged, EVER. I actually worked for Abbott and have NO affiliation with sales and marketing, I have only contributed to the page for fun – but I will cease this editing immediately. Convenience Valet was also created 7-8 years ago and is a local business in Chicago. Again, I have NEVER received payment for any of my articles and I am VERY well aware that that Wikipedia is free content. Bmedick (talk) 17:03, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am not "insinuating" that you are a paid editor. I have stated that your editing is exactly like that of a paid editor, and before now you have said nothing that makes sense of your editing that would lead me to believe that you are not paid. Now you have made it clear that your interests are around Chicago. You also made it clear that you created the Robbie Gold article under a COI - you also edited it very recently so do not try to make it seem like you are not still working on that article. Above you disclosed a COI with regard to Convenience Valet so please do not discuss it like it is just some local business you happen to know about. These obfuscations are very unhelpful and only make the discussion harder.

You have not answered the question about your relationship with Abbvie. You said they are not paying you, fine. So what connections do you have with Abbvie? Do you work there, do people you know work there, etc I am asking about connections. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 17:55, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not a paid editor, however I pride myself as a good writer. Thank you for assessing my statements and believing that I like to write for fun based on my interests in Chicago. Although these would appear to be COIs, I honestly do not feel comfortable discussing my relationships personal and/or professional on an open board. I stand behind my edits and believe that I have not done anything wrong; I did not violate promotional or paid regulations, my edits were sourced however at this point have been reverted/removed, and I will not make any additional edits to the AbbVie page. I stand firm in my integrity as an avid Wikipedia user, and a few misconstrued edits out of the thousands I have contributed to throughout the years exemplify that. I do understand your impression of this situation and role as an Administrator, however I would really like to put this to bed and move forward. Thank you. Bmedick (talk) 18:17, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am not saying you are a paid editor. There are other kinds of conflict-of-interest and they are clearly relevant to your work at Wikipedia. So you are not willing to make any disclosures about Abbvie, but you do agree to stop editing that article. Is that correct? Please note that this was not my goal -- as I wrote above, there is a role for editors to be involved in articles where they have a COI - there are certain things they should do. But if you are choosing not to disclose and just not edit that article, we can do that. Let me know. We can talk about editing under a COI, and editing in general, once this is done. Thanks. and btw I am not an admin. Jytdog (talk) 18:37, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Robbie Gold

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Robbie Gold, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Quick note

Your clearly conflicted editing on the Abbvie article led me to look at your recentish editing, which included Convenience Valet, and articles about Robbie Gold. I am not going back further than that, mostly because things get pretty old and they are mostly about popular music which I don't care about (the process of editing in that field sucks because reliable sources are so often lacking). So I am not going to deal with other editing you have done.

I do hope you look at the examples of editing you did, that I provided on the Robbie Gold Talk page. Your editing on the articles I have looked at, was bad Wikipedia editing. Promotional, unsourced or badly sourced, and adding content that violates copyright. I hope you take that on board going forward. I would be happy to discuss further if you like. If not, good luck to you! Jytdog (talk) 05:10, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Robbie Gold

The article Robbie Gold has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

subject does not meet WP:GNG

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
