About: The SuperMarioLogan Movie - now deleted

Hi Espresso Addict - this would appear to be related to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Logan Thirtyacre - Peter in Australia aka --Shirt58 (talk) 10:15, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

@Shirt58: Ah, copied from Wikia would explain how the creator managed to spam quite so many different articles in a very short time! Thanks for deleting it; a second pair of eyes is always valuable. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 10:56, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Nina Flohr

Hi. Just so I can get the thought process, you declined A7 on Nina Flohr - what claims are present? The hotel hasn't been constructed, the foundation's not operational. I guess the missing word is 'credible' - the sources are all 'will be a'... Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 06:44, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Alexandermcnabb -- A7 is a pretty low standard, lower than the threshold for notability. Things I weighed include: Founder of BCSS, which is active. The yet-to-open eco-sanctuary already appears to have a fair amount of coverage in independent sources, though I can't access the Financial Times article; 3D-printed resort with coral reefs are innovative and have press coverage. The link with royalty (including UK's Prince Philip) does not confer notability, but is leading to substantial coverage in the UK press of her activities. None of which necessarily means that we need an article on her, but it does mean that a deletion discussion is warranted. At very least, there's a plausible redirect term to either her father or her fiancé's family. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 07:10, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

BarcodeIII

Probably warrants a block anyway. They called Onel5969 an asshole and then proceeded to tag all of their creations for A7 in revenge. Praxidicae (talk) 13:59, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Praxidicae -- Thanks for the note. I haven't got involved in blocking editors with accounts, and BarcodeIII seems to have stopped editing for now. I think I've declined all their recent A7 spree; if they nominate anything else I will try WD40 on my rusty block button. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 14:07, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Length of the River Weaver

I have just noticed your comment on Talk:River Weaver about the length of the river. I have changed it to 71 miles, based on the Environment Agency quality data. Bob1960evens (talk) 17:02, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Monty Lunde

Good day. I'm looking to get Monty Lunde restored but in draft mode. I will edit for neutrality. Per Themed Entertainment Association, Lunde is a public figure, the article is not an advertisement of or for anything, but will be edited to reflect that reality more precisely. Thanks. Sitnaltas (talk) 00:42, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello Sitnaltas -- Thanks for disclosing that you are being paid by Technifex to edit. Given that, the article should never have been moved out of draft without a proper review by the WP:Articles for Creation team. I'm trying to assume good faith, but it is hard to see what motivated Intaminagag to move it into mainspace. I've looked again at the deleted article and when one removes unsourced material and promotion, there isn't anything left about Lunde rather than Technifex.

Given all that, I am not minded to recreate it in draft for you, but I would be willing to recreate it in mainspace and immediately take it to WP:Articles for Deletion, if you so desire. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 01:29, 10 December 2020 (UTC) [@Praxidicae: for reference]

That sounds good. When in AFD, can it be edited before the verdict is decided? Please move it there. Thank you! Intaminagag (talk) 03:09, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

For the record, I strongly oppose the needless bureaucracy of restoring it to mainspace. If they want to recreate it, they should do it in draft space and go through AFC. Praxidicae (talk) 14:51, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Either way, I would like to somehow access the article before it was deleted. Is it possible to retrieve it, somehow, or can I find it in AFD? Thank you. Sitnaltas (talk) 16:51, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

@Sitnaltas, Intaminagag, and Praxidicae: Ok, I've restored it to draft for you: Draft:Monty Lunde. You will need to rewrite it completely to remove the promotion and to demonstrate that the subject meets the notability threshold. As a biography of a living person it also needs reliable sources for everything you mention. You MUST put it through review with the WP:Articles for creation team and not move it to mainspace yourself.

Intaminagag, if you are also being paid for this work, or are otherwise related to the subject or their company, then you MUST declare this; see WP:Conflict of interest for instructions. Espresso Addict (talk) 21:38, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Perfect, thanks very much. We'll make it up to snuff, similar to Bob Rogers (designer) and Phil Hettema. Sitnaltas (talk) 21:47, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

This is my personal account. I won’t be using it for business purposes again, whatsoever, so there should be no need for any other disclosure considering this was my only affiliation. Thanks. Intaminagag (talk) 21:52, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

@Sitnaltas: I'd say that Bob Rogers (designer) is moderately promotional, and though it has a long list of sources, they need to be referenced inline for clarity. Phil Hettema is also somewhat promotional in tone, and though it has inline citations, the sources are predominantly low quality &/or linked to the subject. You might like to take a look at the bios of businesspeople in Wikipedia:Featured articles or Wikipedia:Good articles for ideas. Espresso Addict (talk) 22:11, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

@Sitnaltas and Intaminagag: You should declare that the two accounts are operated by the same person. Misusing multiple accounts isn't permitted; see Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry for details. Espresso Addict (talk) 22:19, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Will do. Thanks for the assistance. Intaminagag (talk) 22:40, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Clarissa Miller

Hello, I contested the deletion of the article of Clarissa Miller, you can read my comment on the talk page. I would like to know, when the deletion comment will be removed from the article, if it is not deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebiggangwiki (talk • contribs) 09:40, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

@Thebiggangwiki: Another admin will review the deletion request, probably within 24 hours, although the queue has been somewhat backlogged recently. The article will either be deleted, or the admin will decline the request and remove the deletion tag. You should not remove it yourself. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 09:51, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Thea Camua

Good day - I requesting that the Thea Camua page be restored to allow remediation of the content. Restoration to draft seems appropriate for this as I attempt to re-write it from a neutral point of view — Preceding unsigned comment added by JustDogs2020 (talk • contribs) 03:52, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

@JustDogs2020: I fear the previous article was unsalvageable. I suggest trying to write from scratch in draftspace. Please read WP:NSPORT and try to demonstrate that Camua meets the criteria there using reliable independent sources such as newspaper articles (and not Facebook, blogs or team websites). Everything you include must be referenced inline to a reliable source. You can ask for advice at WP:Teahouse or the talk pages of relevant wikiprojects; see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory/Culture/Sports for a list. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 04:08, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

you have done what you can. I'll just have to perform all the research and fact gathering again and hope I write with the proper tone. I appreciate the pointers JustDogs2020 (talk) 04:29, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello there.

Hi there, pardon the intrusion, I have tagged you on a {ping} on WP:ITN/C. Posting here in case you did not receive a notification, because I might have inadvertently missed my signature in the first go-around. Please have a look if you have a moment. Copying Stephen if he is still online. Thanks.Ktin (talk) 01:24, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

• Thanks much. Just saw your update. Cheers. Ktin (talk) 01:27, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Ktin. Believe it or not, I do work through my pings when they arrive (I'm just a very slow editor); you don't need to alert me five times to the same request. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 01:29, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Espresso Addict, Yup. My issue was that I missed adding my signature the first go around. The {ping} command is notorious for not working when the name and signature are not included in the same go-around. Cheers and pardon the interruption. Ktin (talk) 01:36, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

PS As you and I seem not to see eye to eye on any topic I'd be grateful if you did not post on my talk page again. I will turn off your notifications. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:19, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

THNIC

Hi. You deleted the article THNIC under CSD#A7 on 26 November. I think that being the top-level domain regulator for a country the size of Thailand is a credible claim of significance. Please reconsider; thank you. --Paul_012 (talk) 19:31, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Ok, point taken. I've restored it to draft so that you and/or the creator TheQuietLon3r can continue to work on it to show notability: Draft:THNIC. Independent references sufficient to meet WP:CORP are needed before it can be restored to mainspace. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 02:52, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Champions Retreat Golf Club

Hi, this page was created about a golf club that co-hosts the highest level of Golf - Augusta National Women's Amateur a.k.a Women's Masters. Women were not allowed to play in the Augusta Nationals Golf Tournament till 2018 and this is historic that the first and inaugural tournament took place in Champions Retreat Golf Club. Also, the Golf club is designed by the three legends of Golf known as the Big Three. I am sure that the club of significance in Golf History. The first draft was published and the page will go through more changes and more information and pictures will be added. Grateful if you could reconsider. Abdura99 (talk) 17:17, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello Abdura99. The article was deleted for promotion, not for notability, so you are at liberty to recreate an encyclopedic version. The original version was unsalvageably promotional, and I am not minded to restore it. Are you connected with the golf club in any way, or are they paying you to write the article? If so, then you must read WP:Conflict of interest carefully and comply with the instructions to declare the connection/payment.

Even if you are unconnected in any way with the topic, I would strongly recommend that you create any new version as a draft and use the WP:Articles for creation service to review it and move it into mainspace for you. Promotional articles on companies are not tolerated; they will be deleted and your account will end up blocked. Espresso Addict (talk) 03:04, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

How to move an article from Draft to Main space

Hi, you moved a page to the Draft space.

Please let me know the procedure to move the article back to the Main space after the article is improved. --Perohanych (talk) 21:39, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello Perohanych. Which article was it? In general, you can submit it to the WP:Articles for creation service for review; the reviewer will move it back to mainspace if appropriate. If there's a big grey box at the top, then follow the instructions. If not, then you can generate it by adding {{subst:AfC draft|username}}, putting the username of the article's creator or your own username if you are taking responsibility for it, and then saving, which should generate the grey box. An independent review is required if the article was paid, autobiographical or similar.

Based on your userpage interests, I'm guessing Draft:Vasyl Filipchuk? The problem with that is both promotion and lack of full sourcing in a bio of a living person. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 23:43, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Your guess is correct! Once I remove the promotion wording and add full sourcing, I have to add {{subst:submit}} to the article? Am I right? --Perohanych (talk) 18:31, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Well, assuming you are independent of the subject and his organisations, as an established editor, you can choose to vouch for it and just move it to mainspace yourself. But if you want a second opinion on whether it's sufficiently purged of promotional content, then {{subst:submit|username}} will submit it to the WP:Articles for creation reviewers under your name. (I think if you don't add a username, it defaults to the article creator.) Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 22:43, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Sharon Contreras Speedy Deletion

Hello,

It appears you have reverted two requests for speedy deletion of this article without engaging in the Talk page nor using the proper dispute page for speedy deletion. Per your request multiple reasons are given in the talk page. If you have a vested interest in this person you may have a conflict of interests and should perhaps allow another person to delete or dispute the speedy deletion.

However, feel free to engage in the talk and explain why the page shouldn't be deleted.72.90.80.209 (talk) 19:21, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello 72.90. I'm an administrator who works in speedy deletion, so I am tasked by the community to judge speedy deletion requests. I have no prior connection with Sharon L. Contreras and had not worked on the article prior to finding it in the deletion requests queue. In my opinion, the article clearly does not meet the G11 criterion "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to serve as encyclopedia articles, rather than advertisements. If a subject is notable and the content could plausibly be replaced with text written from a neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion." (That is, if one prunes all promotional text there is no article left.)

There is no dispute system for speedy deletions, but the article can be taken to the WP:Articles for deletion process by any logged-in editor. You would need to start an account to do this, or I will perform this on your behalf, if you instruct me to do so. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 23:58, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes, could you do that on my behalf. I used to have an account and it is probably still active. I stopped editing awhile ago due to racist attacks on black inventors' pages. The whole thing was taxing, infuriating, and resulted in multiple permanent bans for a moderator and a group of editors back in 2015. I am just trying to tiptoe back in and see if I want to become an editor again.72.90.80.209 (talk) 23:09, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

OK: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sharon L. Contreras. If you choose to log in to your old account or create a new one to participate in the debate, please identify yourself as the IP who has requested deletion for clarity.

Racist attacks are horrible and I'm sorry you had to go through that. There's been a lot of discussion over the past year or so about how to reduce unpleasant behaviours of various sorts, so you might find the atmosphere less unpleasant if you should choose to return, under your old account or a new one. I find walking away from conflict works best; there are always quiet corners where one can contribute without being attacked. If you are interested in bios and other material about women including those of colour, then WP:Women in Red is a great place to find help and encouragement. (I'm not aware of a similar forum for articles about men.) Best of luck, Espresso Addict (talk) 02:11, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Simrat Kaur

Hello @Espresso Addict: Happy New Year, I hope you're doing well. While browsing wikipedia, I came across the article Dirty Hari actress Simrat Kaur. I believe it would be speedy deleted as the subject WP:GNG does not pass, but as you declined the csd, I tried to fix it a bit with few reliable sources. And saw that you left a comment on the article creator talk page about single blue link. I check the web and found she has appeared in a small pivotal role in hindi film of 2018 Soni (film) also with a blue link on wikipedia, but the film article doesn't describe much about her role in it. Please have a look and guide me. Thanks for your consideration. --C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 06:59, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

The image used on her article is a copyright violation, that I'm going to tag in a few moments. Thanks --C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 07:01, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello C1K98V -- My understanding is that an actor needs to have appeared in a reasonably major role in at least two notable films or as a regular in at least two different notable television series in order to fulfil WP:ACTOR; however, not being eligible for deletion A7 is a much lower standard; I generally interpret it as one of the first 6 or so cast in at least one blue-linked property (that hasn't obviously just been added). However, articles on actors must additionally comply with the general notability guideline, and can be deleted after a deletion discussion if no adequate sourcing can be found after searching.

A7 is independent from the general notability guideline; the claim only needs to be asserted, not backed up with any form of references.

I hope this helps; I'm not sure exactly what you are unclear about. Cheers & happy new year, Espresso Addict (talk) 07:14, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@Espresso Addict: I tried to update the article do have a look. Could you guide me what more should I do. Thanks --C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 07:16, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

@C1K98V: I've deprodded it. I note it's been deleted before in 2018 but the subject's notability has since increased with the new film. It's probably fine to leave it for someone more expert to mark as reviewed; I'm far from an expert in Indian cinema so I won't do that! I've tagged it for a few wikiprojects so hopefully it will attract attention from experts. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 07:42, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

You're awesome and quick. Thanks for guiding me. --C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 07:45, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Help regarding draft

Hello once again, I tried updating this Draft:Sheen_Dass, so that it can be published. But it seems my efforts in vain. What more should I do to offer my help so that it can be moved in article mainspace. Thanks for your consideration. --C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 07:58, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi again C1K98V. (I'm assuming that you are not connected with the subject, or being paid to edit on this topic.) I'm not an expert in Indian television so I can't review it for you, sorry. With two significant television roles WP:NACTOR might be met. I'd delete the Youtube source (ref 10) which I don't think contributes to notability. You should expand "toi" in several of the references to The Times of India and wikilink it. Always give full source details including newspaper/magazine/website title (always wikilink if we have an article), author and date. Every detail needs to be sourced, so if it isn't sourced and isn't important (eg the subject's university education and parents' names) just take it out.

You might want to look at WP:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Television to see what kinds of articles on television actors are being deleted at the moment; that will give you a good understanding of what's necessary not to get deleted!

As an editor in good standing, as you did not create it yourself, once you think it's ready, there's nothing to stop you being bold and moving it into mainspace yourself to see what the new-page patrollers think -- they can sometimes be less nitpicky than the WP:Articles for creation reviewers.

If you are not comfortable with taking responsibility for it you could ask for a fresh pair of eyes at the Articles for creation talk page, or ask someone at WP:WikiProject Television to review it. Hope this helps, keep up the good work! Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 10:01, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello once again, thanks for your suggestions. It will really help me out. No no not at all. I'm a student from India, when I'm stuck, felt bored, during lockdown so I joined wikipedia. I edit as a passion which I developed slowly in the lockdown and like to edit indian media/indian subject. I'm open to all the subject, I want to work on content creation. Thanks --C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 10:13, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi there -- I think the problem you are fighting is that Indian actors/film/television are subject to a lot of paid promotion, and so everyone is a bit suspicious of any editor who wants to work in that area. If there's anything else you are interested in, then you might find life is easier in another area. Have you got an account at the Wikipedia Library yet? You should be eligible now, I think. There are a lot of (mainly English language) sources there that are good for discovering obscure topics to write about. I'm a scientist by training but I once wrote an article about an obscure poem in Anglo-Saxon (a language I don't know at all) because I found some great sources and fell down a rabbit hole... I find it's half the fun of working here. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 10:29, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Espresso Addict, I never came across Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library, but would like to know more about it, in the future. Thanks for your suggestions C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 11:27, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

C1K98V -- It's a fantastic resource -- there's a lot of great stuff in the general bundle that you should be able to access immediately, and you can also apply to access other resources eg newspaper archives, although there's often a waiting list for the popular stuff. By the way, the Indian e-book resource Kinige (can't find an article) is one of the participants. Happy editing! Espresso Addict (talk) 11:52, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

Espresso Addict,
Thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia, and a Happy New Year to you and yours! North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 05:54, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Northamerica1000, and a happy new year to you, too! Thanks for this -- very appropriate as I'm sharing a roaring fire with two cats at the moment and there's snow on the tops outside. I'm hoping that 2021 can't be worse than 2020 but I fear at least in the UK, that it can... I've vowed to do more article work in 2021; how are things in your corner of the 'pedia? Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 06:14, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

I've been on-wiki less lately, but I'm still around. Yeah, Covid has been a constant bummer, and the worst part is that people are continuing to die at record rates, and now variants are occurring via mutations, variants that are more contagious than the original virus. Horrible. Just stay safe, avoid people when you can, socially distance, wear a mask that actually blocks airborne saliva vapor, get a vaccine when it is available, etc. That's about all anyone can do. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 06:20, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

@Northamerica1000: I love the "consider staying at home" image on your talk; that has pretty much been my strategy -- actually we're probably more remote than that, though not as picturesque (island, miles from nearest "major" road, which is actually still single track with passing places...). I haven't been out in public since the end of February last year. Might have to reassess the strategy as, even on optimistic vaccine rollouts hereabouts, I'm not likely to be offered one until the autumn. Hope you are keeping safe, and positive, Espresso Addict (talk) 03:15, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey, if you can avoid people entirely, and those around you are clear of the virus, it would be almost possible to contract. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:23, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Precious anniversary

Seven years!

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:28, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for fixing the structure of the Paul-Heinz Dittrich article. I went to bed too tired to do that, and just wanted to do it: you are a good mind-reader! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:21, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi Gerda Arendt! I'm just off to bed now (irreparably time shifted!) but I didn't want it to get posted without a bit of reorganisation. I don't really understand the Grove's entry, but there's a lot more there (in English) if you do. Cheers, and belated joys of the season (such as they are in these strange times), Espresso Addict (talk) 10:32, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, and you are right, there's much more out there. I should have noticed the article when created in July ... - Seasonal cards on my talk, and outlook for 2021 here. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:03, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

I looked at Czech pianist, but didn't find much. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:20, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Gosh, I'd entirely forgotten about Draft:Václav Krahulík. Thanks so much for that! Looks acceptable now; I might just move it to mainspace and see if anyone objects -- what do you think?

I made a new year's resolution to write articles, rather than getting involved in disputes, which is going quite well for me so far (more new articles in January than in any recent year since 2016!). I've been trying out your method of putting the refs in a list at the end, which does make reading the text in edit mode easier. How goes it with you? Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 10:00, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, for all that, and I agree about moving to Main space! I learned the separate refs from PumpkinSky, when we worked on Franz Kafka. I am healthy, but sad that others are not which includes family. All about my work here is on my talk ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:12, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: I'm sorry to hear that, Gerda. We're hunkered down here in the middle of nowhere waiting for the vaccine (under a blanket by the Aga with two cats and the smell of baking from the bread machine at the moment!) but some of my other half's family are frighteningly vulnerable. Very much appreciate all the work that you do here, by the way, in creating articles on musicians &c, helping others to do so, and keeping people's spirits up with the Precious awards. As the 'pedia matures I think it's more and more important to keep people engaged in building, not squabbling or destroying. Now off to make a nice coffee :) Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 11:40, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you all around, feels great! Enjoy the coffee - I do the same right now. Yes, avoid conflict, yes, but a comment or two here could perhaps help ending one, in case you have five minutes. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:34, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

If you have a few more minuted: on my user page, there are two articles marked "draft", - perhaps chek them out if you also think they are ready. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:35, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: Hi there -- I've accepted Wolfgang Martin Schede (though if you have any more sources it would make it more secure) & Günter Wewel; the others didn't look ready yet? If you think they are adequately sourced and notable enough to probably survive AfD, I don't think there's anything stopping you accepting them yourself, by the way. (I don't feel comfortable wading into templates for deletion as I don't think I've edited there above twice in all my 14.5 years, sorry.) Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 17:09, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you, and I'm sorry I forgot to mention that of course don't look at those with to-do-dates in the future ;) - When someone sent them to draft, and I rescue, I don't also want to be the one who moves back. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:40, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your work on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mildred Mottahedeh-- I'm not a big fan of dramatic assertions, but your effort played a large role in keeping a notable article from being deleted. Cheers, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 18:38, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

@Eddie891: Thanks for your efforts in rewriting the article, which made the real difference. I hate it when articles on notable topics get deleted essentially for lack of interest in improving them. Good outcome here. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 22:53, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Not sure if you got a ping or something, but I've 5x expanded it and nommed for DYK here-- if you have any alternate hook suggestions, feel free to weigh in. All the best, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 00:39, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Didn't get pinged but excellent expansion, and nice hook! By the way, I've removed my name from the DYK credits as my part in rewriting it was trivial. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 03:03, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

thanks on both counts! It has been a pleasure interacting with you (for the first time, unless I'm mistaken). As an aside, do you think the article is close to GA-level? I've just about exhausted my sources and I think there's a reasonably comprehensive account here, but it's a bit out of my area of expertise. Anyways, if you ever come across another article in need of some work, you know where to find me-- I'm always happy to help! :) Happy December, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 18:06, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

@Eddie891: Eh, ditzy me managed to miss this (you must have overlapped with one of the newbies who take five edits to tell me that their article shouldn't have been deleted...) Indeed, nice working with you too: lovely to see that there's one more brilliant editor out there! It's easy to get ground down with deletionists and driveby taggers, and forget that there are lots of excellent editors quietly working away to build an encyclopedia, without ever making any drama.

I see you've nominated Mottadeh for GA, so good luck with that! And happy February! I've been having a good year so far; made a new year's resolution to avoid disputes and write articles, which is going well for me so far. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 10:11, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Back again, to say happy March and with an update that Mottahedah passed a good article review! It's been a really rewarding process. I, too, have started to focus my efforts back on content— much more rewarding, as you say. Best, Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 17:14, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Review

the page Arundhati Holme Chowdhury. I have added more references and a award. Now decide its notability. Wikifulness (talk) 15:57, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello Wikifulness -- I'm not an expert in the notability of playback singers but the three Bengal Film Journalists' Association – Best Female Playback Award seem to me to qualify. I have sourced them from the archive link provided in the awards article. I have accordingly removed the tag. The sourcing still urgently needs improvement, especially for the other awards. Note that IMDb cannot be used as a source as the listings are sometimes user supplied and therefore cannot be considered reliable. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 01:14, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

ITN recognition for Kay Ullrich

On 6 January 2021, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Kay Ullrich, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page.  — Amakuru (talk) 09:34, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

ITNRD

Hello! I’ve come to take you up on your kind offer of assistance: I’m in need of advice about an ITNRD candidate. What’s the best way forward if word is spreading of a recent death but it’s not yet acknowledged in RS? I came across the news of the recent death of literary and disability studies scholar Christina Crosby, apparently on January 4 and mentioned by one of her editors in January 5, but no more solid source (e.g. we might expect her university to release a statement). It seems to me I should hold off and nominate on the date of the announcement—is that about right? Meanwhile I’m setting about trying to improve it in the interim; if it catches your interest, I’d welcome any help you have time to give! Thanks much. Innisfree987 (talk) 20:48, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Innisfree987, good to hear from you! The rules of ITN are arcane and ever-evolving. One formal requirement for appearance there is that deaths must be reported actually in the news, not just in reliable sources, although that's interpreted broadly these days. Certainly reliable sources would be needed, and the recent kerfuffle over Tanya Roberts has made people hyperaware that even reliable sources sometimes get it wrong. If the date of formal announcement were significantly delayed (usually around 3+ days), it could be nominated on the announcement date, but that's less of a problem with the longer window currently operating. (Beware that there's push back over the 7th day.)

Just looked at the article briefly, and it looks broadly ok, apart from a lack of source for the date of death (which, with my admin hat on, I will probably have to revert until some sort of reliable source is provided, sorry). The references must give full details. The length threshold is usually in the region of 2700–3000 prose characters (counted using DYK counter), so it would be borderline there at the moment. I'll have a proper look when I've made another coffee... Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 01:17, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much for all this very helpful information! I’ll see what I can add accordingly. Given Duke UP is already making some of her work available for free in recognition of the loss, I should think Inside Higher Ed or similar will take note, but, very good to know there must be actual news coverage. As well as length threshold, but that should be ok once I’ve expanded a bit on her books, which I won’t be sorry to have done even if no news coverage ever appears (I would be sorry about that in itself, I will say!) Understood about the date; thanks for all! Innisfree987 (talk) 01:32, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Innisfree987 -- I've had a slightly less hurried look at the article. I am far from expert in this area (was a scientist, once!), but the notability under WP:PROF does not look 100% bulletproof (unfortunately women's bios get attacked more than straight white men's), but imo notability under WP:AUTHOR is strong, though others may differ (I do fear some here actually like deleting articles on academics, especially women). Detail from the available book reviews will help; I theoretically have Project Muse access, but have to admit I lost the password when my last laptop died last year; will see if I can work out how to retrieve it. For my areas JSTOR's a lot more useful.

There does need to be explicit sourcing for her sexual orientation, but her memoir will probably work for that (needs a page reference).

Will have a cast around for further material. If you haven't already done so, advertising at WiR is a good idea of course, as there are a lot of scholars in queer/feminist studies hanging out there, and I've rarely found a more useful group of editors on the 'pedia.

Re ITN, bear in mind that the news of death drives a lot of hits independent of mainpage airing, and they usually remain elevated for some weeks, so it's always worth working on these bios even if ITN never materialises. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 02:28, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you so much for all this guidance as well as all the improvement to the entry. I am going to pack it in for the night soon but will leave a note at WiR first—that’s a very good idea especially for more help with her first book. I know what you mean about academic bios; I sometimes think writers would be better off without academic posts, sigh. But hopefully two books with abundant reviews is solid enough to ward off complaints... Innisfree987 (talk) 05:38, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

@Innisfree987: I used to do a lot of work here on British Victorian writers when I first joined, I'll have a look at the online reviews and see if I can contribute there. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, she sounds to be/have been a fantastically interesting person. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 05:44, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

I feel just the same way—I only learned of her work because I started the entry on her partner, but am only more and more fascinated the more I learn of her! Innisfree987 (talk) 05:52, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Your vote on AFD:Deviprasad Dwivedi

Please do not think that i'm challenging your vote. I'm glad that you did. But doesn't WP:ANYBIO itself state that satisfying it does not guarantee notability? Moreover, doesn't WP:N's lead imply that the subject of the article should be covered sufficiently so as to reference the article's content with reliable sources via quotes such as "Notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time"? Deviprasad Dwivedi neither satisfies WP:GNG nor WP:SNG. A notable person is expected by most to satisfy atleast one of them. Pesticide1110 ^{Lets wrestle!} 01:51, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

@Pesticide1110: At some point, querying every editor who contributes to an AfD in the direction you don't hold becomes badgering. The closing administrator will evaluate the arguments presented. My opinion in general is that just because an article can be deleted within policy does not usually mean that it must be deleted. The encyclopedia is hugely biased towards topics that have more coverage in English-language media, and in order to counter that bias it may be necessary to accept a lower level of proof of notability. Do you honestly think that someone who has won an honour only given to 1270 people since 1954 (out of a population of nearly 1.4 billion) in the States would be deleted? Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 14:42, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes i do. The cause and consequence of winning an award are the ones that matter in my opinion. Award is just a recognition of that work. And consulting editors about their perspective helps the enquirer in learning and the one being asked to self-check and cannot be equated to badgering which is "challenging one's opinions relentlessly". It was a fault on my part to think that everyone is willing to help each other here. Pesticide1110 ^{Lets wrestle!} 15:10, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Deletion of artist page "Veysel (rapper)"

Veysel (rapper) You deleted this page under the significance policy. I don't agree with this action - an artist of any credence meets, in my opinion, the criteria for a page entry. The artist has some noted charting albums entered on the German wikipedia page, and given their collaboration with at least two (to my knowledge) English artists, they have already met the criteria twice over. Please restore this article - although it may take me some time to return and complete it, it seems appropriate that it exists even in short-form. — Preceding unsigned comment added by R0tekatze (talk • contribs) 17:49, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello R0tekatze. The threshold for inclusion of artists is a great deal higher than just existing! I note that on the talk page of the deleted article you admitted that "There's no real notability" but objected to the redirection to a different artist. The article I deleted had a single sentence with 14 words and absolutely no claim of any significance.

Thanks for mentioning the German article; I've found it now and it does appear to support possible notability. I've restored the article to draftspace for you: Draft:Veysel (rapper). I strongly recommend that you continue to work on it there, rather than trying to move it to mainspace prematurely and risking having it deleted under your feet again. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 18:19, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Thankyou, I was unaware that draft space was a thing. My comment on the talk page was perhaps misphrased, I had intended to mean "no real notability among artists" rather than "at all" - no matter. R0tekatze (talk) 20:17, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

@R0tekatze: Thanks for the explanation. There's some instructions about draftspace at WP:Drafts. Basically you can work in draftspace indefinitely, and collaborate with others there, as long as you are actively editing, but beware if you abandon it for six months (and no-one else edits it in the interval) it will be deleted as a stale draft. These usually can be retrieved without problems on request. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 20:25, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

G11

When can something be considered wholly promotional? Steve M (talk) 00:44, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

@Steve M: The guideline I try to use is: if one prunes out every piece of wording that is purely promotional, then there is not even a viable microstub remaining, and there are no reliable sources provided, then G11 is a reasonable option. In essence, if I were going to write an article on the topic, then it would be preferable to start from a blank page, without even a suggested reading list. I can't recall where this originated (not me).

In practice, I rarely delete G11 unless either (1) the subject, in my opinion, is either not notable or the notability is borderline; or (2) it uses we/you to address the reader directly.

I know some other admins interpret differently, sometimes very differently.

Did you have a particular example in mind? Ah, looks like you nominated Draft:Illinois CPA Society -- the problem there is notability, but that doesn't apply to drafts. I'm chary of deleting even the more promotional drafts that aren't just straight adverts, as they aren't visible to readers, so there's plenty of time to clean them up.

CCI assistance

Hello Espresso Addict, I hope you're doing well. I want assistance regarding a copyvio investigation against me. Please have a look [1]. The article Simrat Kaur which was initially tagged for csd was declined by you. I tried expanding it. Back then in the beginning of January. After that I was blocked. When I expanding the article there was no copyvio. But now today when I look at it show 67% likely violation using copyvio detector. After looking out more, I found out that it is reverse copyright violation:- copied from Wikipedia to some random blog winkreport which is blacklist to share here It show author Jonita and date 29 January 2021. After almost few weeks later after I first edited the article and was blocked. So how do I comment there on the CCI page. Please guide me. I want to keep up to my promise and rectify myself. Thanks --C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 15:06, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello C1K98V -- Sorry for the delay, you caught me just as I was going offline, and sorry you've got into so much difficulty! I don't deal with copyright much and have to admit I've never participated at the CCI page. However, the copyright investigation seems to be from before your block, and the dates you point out seem to be correct -- sites often copy from Wikipedia, so anyone investigating your edits should hopefully not be confused. To cover yourself, you could put a note on the talk page to say that the Earwig 67% hit was from a post dated weeks after the material was added to the article, giving the dates. Just be really really careful in future never to cut and paste in from elsewhere and always to write things in your own words, and everything should be ok going forwards. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 00:16, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

My Article Was Deleted.

Good Afternoon. I now understand the guidelines for Wikipedia far more than I did when I wrote my article. It was "speedy deleted" last night. I understand that this article cannot be published, however, I wanted access to my work so I could save a copy. Is there any way I can get a copy of my article that was speedy deleted? Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcfmagic (talk • contribs) 14:03, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

@Dcfmagic: I assume you are talking about Miliquin Macaw? I'm not minded to restore it: it was not only extremely promotional but also misleading, and the topic seems to me rather borderline in whether it might meet the encyclopedia's threshold for inclusion (though I note Catalina macaw exists). As Miliquin Macaw was largely created in one edit I assume that you have the material elsewhere. If you wish to continue with this article, first, read our guidance on conflict of interest and follow its instructions about declaring your connection clearly. Second, create the article in draftspace and then submit it to the Articles for creation team for review when you are ready. Third, find some knowledgeable reliable and independent sources, such as specialist books and journal articles, and then write only about what they say on the topic, rather than from personal knowledge. In the meantime, after appropriately declaring your connection to the cross, you could ask on the talk page of Hybrid macaw whether one of your photographs would be suitable for illustrating the Miliquin's entry in the list of F2 macaws there.

Draft:NeezyThaDon

Hi Espresso Addict. I'm pretty sure you deleted Draft:NeezyThaDon (or at least something quite similar to this) as Neezythadon a few weeks back. It was recreated by MsDPrice in their user sandbox about a month ago and just was moved to mainspace earlier today. I've draftified it since it's clearly not ready for the mainspace as is; I felt it might be less WP:BITEy to give the creator a chance to improve at submit it to WP:AFC for review rather than tag it for out right speedy deletion. I can't see the version you deleted; if, however, this latest one is bascially the same, then perhaps it should be deleted as well. For reference, I came across this while trying to sort out this and this at the Teahouse. I haven't explained why I've draftified the article to its creator yet. I can do that, but thought that perhaps you might be better able to do so since you deleted the other version per WP:G11. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:15, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Marchjuly -- It's pretty much the same, except that the new one has the discography, which does increase the notability slightly. I'd still consider it a clear G11 candidate but I try not to delete the same article twice unless there's some problem that makes immediate deletion essential. It's up to you whether you think tagging it for deletion is kinder than leaving the reviewers at Articles for creation to decline it and probably tag it; I'm no expert on notability of popular musicians but I've not seen any evidence that there's notability as a musician, and if that isn't there yet, working on the article to improve the tone may be a waste of everyone's time. The creator does seem good faith -- you might try explaining as kindly but firmly as possible to the creator that they need to wait until the subject meets WP:Band or the GNG, and asking them if they have any reliable sources at all, even local newspaper coverage. Possibly a patroller might feel more friendly and less heavy handed than an admin? Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 07:43, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Roberto Blake was deleted

Hello, I noticed that you took down my article on Roberto Blake. Is there anything that I can do better in order to post the article up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Officiallyunleashed (talk • contribs) 20:53, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello Officiallyunleashed -- I am not seeing where the subject's notability comes from -- the first thing that you need to do is show that the subject meets one of the encyclopedia's guidelines for inclusion; in this case Wikipedia:Notability (people) applies. Then everything in an article on a living person needs to be sourced to a reliable source, such as books, magazines or national newspapers, preferably independent of the subject or their companies.

Also, are you connected with the subject or his company in any way, or being paid directly or indirectly to write this article? If so you need to read WP:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure and follow the instructions to declare your connection. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 22:10, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your response and your feedback. The notability of the subject is that he is a content creator economy expert. I am in no way paid for creating this article. He carries the same notability as other articles on this website, for example Gary Vaynerchuk. He is a youtube celebrity and educator and has been featured in print and public speaking events that I listed in the article. Is there a better way to cite these in order to better suit the needs of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Officiallyunleashed (talk • contribs) 00:43, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

@Officiallyunleashed: You need to find at least two or three reliable sources independent of Blake and his companies, that discuss him in detail (two or three chunky paragraphs at least). Once you've located these, then write the initial draft of the article entirely based on what they say about Blake. When you've drafted the article based on these, it is sometimes acceptable to add a few details to flesh it out based on what the subject states about himself in interviews or on his own websites, for example about his education. Hope this helps. You can ask questions at the Teahouse, a friendly forum for new editors. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 00:56, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Admin's Barnstar

Thank you for evaluating pages tagged for deletion and removing notices from those articles and drafts that show promise. Not every admin is so thorough and careful going through CSD categories and sees the potential in pages that are not in pristine shape. I'm sure removing CSD tags might frustrate our eager page taggers but I think it benefits the project and encourages new editors. Liz Read! Talk! 04:34, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Liz! -- I fear I do frustrate the taggers but I think it's important to encourage good-faith editors to try to improve their articles to become acceptable, even if in practice it doesn't work out very often. I worry that Wikipedia editing is getting harder and harder -- I'm sure I would not have persevered if I'd started recently and my first tentative efforts (far from meeting today's standards) had been deleted. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 05:47, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

By what right do you delete a photo and writings that I made myself and I am its author. Do not dance there are some of you who tend to discredit people by nationality. Do not spoil my materials because otherwise we will insist on the names of those who do this work and for what purposes they do it. Wikipedia is not made to create a war of nerves between people of different nationalities. This is a ridiculous situation and you need to stop these actions. Thanks!

__________________

Are you kidding me? I'm sorry but erasing all the materials over the years is not a nice job. What will we be a man from Serbia in my materials. Where does he know the history of my art. Stop with these scandalous actions. I use You Tube, Blogs, Facebook, and other media but no one does so by removing materials from hidden people who do not even say their name and act irresponsibly and say some reasons that are not even understood why ..WHY? I am very saddened by the experience with you. You are not to grieve people but to help them.

Hello Traboini. I haven't deleted any photographs, just a note that seemed to have been placed in mainspace in error. If you want to develop an article on Aristidh Kolia, then feel free to start an article either in mainspace or in draftspace. As I offered on your talkpage, I'd also be happy to restore the 2008 article to draftspace for you, if you request it, so that you can work on making it acceptable. However, it isn't helpful to start articles to complain about deletion or people's conduct. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 05:39, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

THANKS! K.P.Traboini

Hello good time I want to report to you on a sabotage, you saved an article from deletion yesterday and you realized that it is not advertising, but today the same person who left the article for deletion did the same thing again, please check. Discussion link

ThanksHadiman11 (talk) 18:42, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello Hadiman11 -- It looks as if the article has been deleted because it was started by an editor who has been globally locked. I'm afraid this isn't an area that I have any experience in, so I can't help you. You should probably start by contacting the deleting admin, who was CaptainEek, on their talk page. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 00:05, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Denis Garrett

On 2 March 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Denis Garrett, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

New article submission

Hi Espresso Addict, Could you weigh in on a potential article about Dr. Rajesh Dhirawani whether or not he meets the notability criteria? Here's something about him: https://www.thehitavada.com/Encyc/2019/6/23/Dr-Dhiravani-awarded-honorary-degree-of-FRCS.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vm1207 (talk • contribs) 18:17, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Just stopping by to say hi. Thinking of you as I try to brush up Madeline Davis for WP:ITN/C, and it makes me realize I haven’t seen you in quite a while. Hope everything’s ok! Maybe you just managed (unlike the rest of us) to pry yourself away from the computer and get out in the fresh air? Hoping that’s it. Sending well wishes regardless!

Draft:Ellen Cobb

Hi Espresso Addict -- I just got a message that says Draft:Ellen Cobb may be nominated for deletion unless it's moved into the article main space soon. I created the initial article (originally deleted for lack of notability!), but you moved it into the draft space late last year for improvements, and I wanted to get another opinion on whether it's ready for main space now. What do you think? Thanks, Alanna the Brave (talk) 19:54, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Cell cover (Nov 2008).gif. 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 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.

Moving Linear difference equation to Linear recurrence with constant coefficients

Hi User:Espresso Addict, can you help me with something? We're trying to move Linear difference equation to Linear recurrence with constant coefficients based on consensus in a few discussions. Since the move couldn't be done manually, I was trying to delete Linear recurrence with constant coefficients so that I can immediately do the move. Existing links to Linear recurrence with constant coefficients should be preserved. Caleb Stanford (talk) 19:25, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Administrators will no longer be autopatrolled

A recently closed Request for Comment (RFC) reached consensus to remove Autopatrolled from the administrator user group. You may, similarly as with Edit Filter Manager, choose to self-assign this permission to yourself. This will be implemented the week of December 13th, but if you wish to self-assign you may do so now.

Help needed for article creation

Hello Espresso Addict, I hope you're doing well. I'm having some spare time on Christmas Eve and New Year. So, I was looking for article creation and found 2 topics - Priya Chauhan, Pradeep Kabra. The actors are part of many Bollywood films, along with television shows in pivotal role mainly. Can you guide if it notable or I shouldn't proceed ahead with it. Thanks --C1K98V ^{(💬 ✒️ 📂)} 06:08, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello C1K98V -- I couldn't find much on Priya Chauhan. Pradeep Kabra looks more promising but I note an article was deleted in January 2018: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pradeep Kabra, so you would need to demonstrate that the actor has held significant roles, or received significant press coverage, since the time of the deletion. Hope this helps! Espresso Addict (talk) 06:41, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

Age at death

I don't see why not show age of death when all obits I've seen state it as a fact. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:47, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

By all means put it back Gerda Arendt -- it's just Groves & Baker (both of which I can see, both of which are reliable, and both of which are in English), both state the earlier dob, which makes me worry a bit. (By the way you should be able to access both of them too, via the Library.) Going offline now, anyway. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 09:52, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

no links to composers

Sorry, I reverted some of your copy-edits to Killebrew. Please - per projects opera and classical music - don't link complsers when a composition has an article. Readers who don't know who Rossini is can be sure to find it in the opera's article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:48, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
