Notability of Magwerks Corporation

I view this as notable for the following reasons

First this company is one of only 3 companies in North, Central and South American producing MPI equipment. a chief competitor to ITW's division Magnaflux who have Wikipedia pages.

As only few companies producing MPI equipment sold through out the world it noteworthy for people know about the company from a independent source, who they are, what they are, and where they are.

Also consider the number of companies that have wiki pages with have far more competitors and affect very few peoples lives Fundex, Wheel_Horse, Ogden_Welding_Inc

MPI equipment is used through out every industry that needs to detect manufacturing defects.

I just started writing the article was going to include more information and fix the Magnaflux page which has numerous errors.—Preceding unsigned comment added by JustinGzzzzz (talk • contribs) 12:08, March 2, 2010

Notability

There is no term Magnafluxing and it sure was not invented by the person listed at best it was slang

i have started to work on the Magnetic particle inspection articles cleaning what is just flat out wrong and information that would result in peoples death due to false information.

Creating a redirect for Magnaflux to point to its parent company is not what i had intended. Magnaflux was the company who created the entire MPI industry and is extremely note worthy and needs to have its own article. Several of its employees wrote books detailing out MPI process and magnetic research conducted. When ITW purchased Magnaflux it killed the research arm of the company what a shocker there.

Magwerks has also published papers and research and contributes to ASTM and SAE standards in MPI feild.

Maybe we can meet half way in making sure this knowledge is preserved as its very obscure field today. If your not in the MPI or NDT field you have no idea what any of this stuff is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JustinGzzzzz (talk • contribs) 17:45, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Chi-Chi Okonjo: duplicate BLP tags

FYI: I had added BLPunsourced to this article, you added unreferencedBLP. These two templates display identically. I note that you used the Friendly template. So either I'm suggesting that your procedures should avoid this duplication or, if one of these templates is deprecated, that we should avoid it. Should I use unreferencedBLP rather than BLPunsourced in future? Or is there some technical reason to use both, although they display identically in the article?

Jay Andrew Hurst

Hi,

My buddy and I added the "Jay Andrew Hurst" entry and while we understand why the entry was deleted we were hoping you could put it back up for atleast 24 hours. It's the kids b-day and this was our present (yes, we are broke and possibly shitty friends).

We know he'll get a kick out of it so any leniency would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure why you keep deleting The Daylights page. It's referenced from this WIKI page Subject_to_Change:_Artists_for_a_Hate-Free_America and I am using references from the band's old myspace page. This is kind of ridiculous. It's like you delete first then ask questions later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Garryegan (talk • contribs) 15:12, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Gilbert's Feed Band

You just deleted the article, but I think this band has had enough releases to meet notability criteria. There was a table about that at the end of the article and some references to cooperation with other notable artitst. Can you please restore the article, and if you still think it's non-notable please take it to AfD. Thanks, De728631 (talk) 15:57, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

American South Conference

I would contend that the article I wrote about the American South Conference is notable and suitable for posting on Wikipedia. It is relevant in the histories of several NCAA Division I schools, such as the Southwest Conference is notable. Both the American South Conference and the Southwest Conference are no longer current conferences but they still are part of the history of collegiate athletics. The Southwest Conference has a wiki page, why can't the American South Conference?

Moreover, the wiki article about the Sun Belt Conference references the American South Conference and even has a link for someone to create an article about it - yet once the article is created, it gets deleted?

Olympic athletes

Hi,

Just so you know, Olympic athletes, such as Nikolay Surov, are considered to have inherent notability per WP:ATHLETE and do not qualify for speedy deletion (since as Olympians, they at least make the claim to notability). I have therefore restored your deletion of Surov. Cheers, CP 22:01, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About some of your recent comments on "unreliable" websites:

WP:ELMAYBE #4 specifically permits external links to such websites: "Sites which fail to meet criteria for reliable sources yet still contain information about the subject of the article from knowledgeable sources."

A watchmaker or repair is doubtless a 'knowledgeable source' (a standard that was deliberately set lower than WP:SPS) for the purposes of this rule. WhatamIdoing (talk) 22:00, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Shopping Gateway is the concept and not the advertising

Hello,

Please consider "Shopping Gateway" as a concept and not any kind of advertising. Please feel free to refine it and post it on your behalf. I have only one external link in the whole document, which goes to my web-page, where I had initiated the discussion about such a shopping gateway concept. Whether, this is required or not can be a matter of discussion. Rest other links are all the internal links.

In fact, I would like you to add some content to strangthen the topic.

Tim Bridgewater

Really? ...elected to be the Utah County Republican Party Chairman, as a delegate to county, state, and national conventions, and as a member of the Utah Republican State Central Committee constitutes a "politician" who has "won elections"? I agree it was an iffy nomination, otherwise I would have deleted it myself, but...really? Frank | talk 16:20, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up: you may wonder why I said it was an "iffy" nomination and then questioned you when it was declined. By way of explanation, what I intended was for the nomination to be validated by another admin by having it deleted. I suspected there would be objection, and I sometimes nominate on that basis to get a second opinion. My questioning your decline was the reason why, not really that you disagreed (or might have disagreed) with me. I just thought the specific reason wasn't right. No big deal; just trying to explain my thinking a bit. Frank | talk 18:25, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Medicinernes Skiklub Svartor

Hi - short answer: No, I do not believe that this article qualifies for speedy deletion. The primary source about the club is actually the club's official site itself, in addition to the offline texts cited. I know that's a bit minimal, because if I were to describe a biographical article that way, it would seem likely to be a speedy deletion candidate. However, for sports clubs around the world, it is often true.

While I had never heard of the club before, I am a recent (2 years) immigrant to Norway. However, I do speak Norwegian, and I wandered through their homepage, and it the club seems to do enough things (for example, they organize an annual event on the Norwegian ski-jumping circuit), and have been around long enough (120 years) to meet wikipedia standards. clubs that organize individual sports (athletics, swimming, skiing) can have more trouble, I think, being justified as notable than team sports. This is because simple membership in a league, and a reference to the league's homepage, is often seen as enough "notability" - individual sports don't quite get in so easily.

However, I'll try to track down a reference using a Norwegian Ski Federation membership list or something that's available online.

Let me know if you still think this might be a speedy deletion candidate. Cheers, AshleyMorton (talk) 14:05, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removed prod from Matt Stephens (politician)

Just leaving you a note, the author protested deletion of the article both on the talk page and by leaving a hangon tag on the article. Proposed deletions have to be uncontested to be valid, so I've removed the tag, but you might consider bringing the article to Afd. Thanks. -- Atama頭 23:45, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. You could have done it yourself, though. Jus' sayin'. ;-)

I understand how PROD works. But if they don't contest it, then it isn't contested. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 10:50, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While removing the proposed deletion tag is the official way to contest the prod, any indication that someone doesn't want it deleted makes it controversial. The very first sentence of WP:PROD states, "Proposed deletion is a process used for nominating pages for uncontroversial deletion, and deleting such pages after 7 days if no objections are raised." Your initial proposed deletion itself was completely appropriate, and my message wasn't meant as a criticism of anything you've done, my only intent was to explain why I removed the tag. It wasn't because I actually believe the article merits inclusion (in fact, I don't, and plan on stating as much at the AfD). I didn't open an AfD because lately I've been dealing with the majority of proposed deletions on Wikipedia, it doesn't get as much attention as it used to, and I'm dealing with about 4 times as much as before and it takes up almost all the time I have on here. :( -- Atama頭 16:14, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While I understand your removal was to interpret the intent of the creator's message on the article talk page, since the template itself reads, "You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to deletion for any reason," I consider failure for anyone to remove the template as a condition of uncontested. Especially if they don't communicate with me further on it. This is based on my experience in similar situations, where the creator objected on the talk page, but after my reply, either did nothing more on the article, or acquiesced. Most of those articles were deleted after 7 days. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 16:50, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how it works in practice. You should swing by WT:PROD sometime, there are some interesting conversations there. There are a number of people who think that PROD is too much of a "stealth deletion" process as it is, without turning a blind eye to editors who are obviously protesting deletion yet aren't removing the prod tag because they don't understand that they can (generally because they're new). I'm actually not one of those people, I think that PROD is fair as it is, because any sign of controversy makes it invalid. The purpose of AfD is to give someone a chance to plead their case to keep an article, and now Paulm86 has a chance to do so, which he should be entitled to since he clearly doesn't want it deleted. Whether he chooses to exercise that privilege is up to him. -- Atama頭 17:35, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cruise ship PRODS

You should be aware that there has been a very recent AFD on a cruise ship which came to the consensus that they are inherently notable. Please discuss with WP:SHIPS in the future before nominating ship articles for deletion, we could clean them up without having to involve deletion proceedings. -MBK₀₀₄ 04:45, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From now on, could you please actually look for references before you PROD something? Your comment on Talk:AIDAsol, regardless of your wikilinking, and subsequent actions were very uncivil. Silver seren^C 05:05, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing about what I said or how I said it was uncivil. Please review WP:CIVIL again. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 10:47, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your question about notability, it is not spelled out explicitly at WP:NOTE, but there is a long-standing consensus on the wiki as to the notability of vessels that are a certain size (displacement/tons). The gray area with this consensus is with regards to yachts and fishing boats, not larger ships such as cruise ships, ocean liners, tankers, cargo ships, and warships. The most recent AFDs I can point you towards are these:

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carnival Glory (2nd nomination) (Cruise ship March 2010)
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SS Timothy Bloodworth (2nd nomination) (WWII Liberty ship December 2008)

And within those I can cite some certain declarations: All ships are considered notable here Ships generally are all notable enough for articles per long-established Wikipedia practice...Vessels of this size are inherently notable -MBK₀₀₄ 06:19, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My personal rule of thumb is this - sailing vessels over 100 tons are inherently notable. Merchant vessels over 1,000 tons are also notable. Sailing and merchant vessels under these figures may well be notable, depending on history and/or events. For Victorian steamships, a figure as low as 350 tons may be a reasonable threshold. Multi-thousand ton cruise ships will always be inherently notable. I accept your views about advertising / promotional tone. This is not a reason to delete an article. It can (and should) be rewritten to remove the problem and expanded where possible. Mjroots (talk) 13:42, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll leave the cleanup to you guys, as the web searches, especially for new(er) cruise ships are chock-full of spam, to the point I can't filter. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 13:46, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Saw you blanked the page as a copyvio, I hope you don't mind but since it was a word-for-word copy I nominated it for speedy deletion. Also, there's no need to actually delete the text when you use the copyvio template (unless there's something people haven't been telling me), if you just put it at the top of the article it will prevent everything below it from being seen.

Speedy deletion nomination of Lindsey mcfly

A tag has been placed on Lindsey mcfly requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 20:00, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
