sas daniels LLP

Hi Hairhorn,

I was wondering whether you would be able to give me a few tips on how I could create the sas daniels LLP page to allow it to stay on Wikipedia? There is a lot of history to this firm dating back to 1837 so obviously it has served a legal service to a large client base. I have found it interesting looking at the different stages of the firm from merger to merger which contains some very interesting regional history. I don't want the page to be promotional, I want it to be factual and interesting so am very keen on helping the page stay up on Wikipedia. I've looked at some other law firms like Clifford Chance and Norton Rose specifically and they've been exactly the same (if not worse!) as the version I wrote but are allowed to stay on here and can't understand why?

Many thanks if you can help Mikehenry85 (talk) 08:57, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

Patti Schmidt

Actually, she was properly credited with a segment on Bob Dylan—I listened to it. Although, this is such a trivial piece of her career to list on an encyclopedia, so I don't object to it being removed. Just thought I'd pass you that news. +mt 04:46, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

I have worked at CBC and I was careful to listen to clips of the show before making this correction, and I indeed heard Patti Smith, the singer. Was this aired on CBC's "Inside the Music"? Patti Schmidt generally only does intros and outros for that show. Check here: http://www.prx.org/pieces/20585-dylan-shelter-from-the-storm Hairhorn (talk) 15:38, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I see, you're correct. Patty Smith hosted the "Shelter From the Storm" series with intro/outro by Patti Schmidt. The Smith/Schmidt thing is just a coincidence for the same show. Ahh, the detailed fact-checking ... +mt 19:30, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia intellectual

Well, it certainly made no sense to me so bob's your uncle. The words and some of the phrases, sure, but all the rest was all 'Huh?'. Lots42 (talk) 09:05, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, its quite understandable - what he sayd is that a Wikipedia Intellectual is someone who bases what he knows on Wikipedia articles, instead of basing it on books nought in stores. The second line is a characteristic for that group, noting that they know a lot of odd facts due to the detail in Wikipedia. :) Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 09:26, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

I too am puzzled. Good faith is good faith, but vandalism is vandalism. Hairhorn (talk) 09:15, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

This does not in any way qualify as vandalism, and believe me, i received enough notices about my overzealousness while doing vandalism patrol. The article itself is just a term the user made up, or some form of new word that came into circulation. Sure, it does not belong on Wikipedia, but that does not automatically qualify it as vandalism. Unless the user disrupts Wikipedia by creating the article over and over albeit being warned, this is considered behavior of a new account which does not know its way yet.

Hence, cut the user some slack! It is an account created today, so accusing it of creating vandalism pages on these kind of article is considered biting. If we need to give plain vandals 4 warnings before banning them, there is no need to scare an apparent good faith user away :) Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 09:26, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

point taken, although I'm not fully convinced you haven't traded overzealousness for underzealousness. Hairhorn (talk) 09:28, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Point also taken. Finding a correct balance between WP:AGF - WP:SPADE - WP:VAND is complex as they kind of contradict eachother. For now im basing my tagging on a perception of what the user seems to be trying. If a user tries to add a spam article that might only skim across G11 then it receives a speedy tag. If a users first edit is an article is a bad one with good intentions i prod it. But alas, since i only started trying that tactic recently, i make mistakes assuming to much good faith, as witnessed two posts above. With some luck this is just temporally, but ifi run into to much wrong assumptions of good faith ill just tag stricter again :) Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 09:41, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Monopoly of Initiative

I wish to draw your attention to this. Regards, Anameofmyveryown (talk) 16:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah well, I never said it was a good article...

As for the coatrack issue, though, there are plenty of articles on here explaining expressions used by only one side in a debate, eg: Irreducible complexity. The Monopoly of Intiative article, as written, is terrible and not at all neutral, on top of whatever copyright and forking issues there are. But, if I understand correctly, articles are deleted more on the potential of the subject matter to be a good article, and less on the article as written. But if it really is a term only used with reference to the European Union, then a redirect is probably the best solution. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 20:49, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

"Robert Culp Effect"

Hairhorn ... the creator of the page now specifically says "This is something I made up" and "I made this up" ... does this now simply make the page a candidate for speedy deletion? BobKawanaka (talk) 10:32, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Not sure.. the only possible criteria I can see are "Patent nonsense" and "vandalism", and it doesn't really strike me as either of those. Also, it may fit into some of the non-criteria. Hairhorn (talk) 14:38, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Cal Con

The AFD for Cal Con, which you participated in, was recently closed as no consensus. I have requested a deletion review at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2009 May 26#Cal Con. -- Whpq (talk) 18:59, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree there was a poor case for the article and I said as much in the AfD. My issue, to the extent that there was one, was with the nomination as written, which to my mind didn't make a convincing case for deletion.Hairhorn (talk) 21:38, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy for WP:MADEUP

I was just thinking earlier today that I wish there was a speedy for something that was blatantly made up and local, possibly as a subset of A7, i.e. where there is no claim of notability. If you want to actually propose this, ping my talk page after you do so on the CSD talk page, and I'll put my two cents in. Gigs (talk) 23:30, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Lazer Helmets

Hairborn, thanks for rewriting the article. Its obvious i cant write them in english very well, but what i could do was to add it with my poor english, mark it as a stub and please another user from the community to correct it. So, thanks :). As per sharp, i added in order to verify company is notable, but if you judge its somekind promotional, and that other helmets too got 4 star, its okay this too.

Finally, as for what i added of being the 3rd producer, according to this phrase "The IMAG Group together with AGV, MDS, and LAZER is now the 4th worldwide producer within the sport helmets market", found here [[1]] i conlcuded to this. For sure, i found this phrase somewhere in wikipedia, maybe for AGV, if you need, i can take the time to find it again. Not for adding it to Lazer helmet if you judge it shouldnt be still there, but at least removing this phrase from the other article i found it here because as said "It's wildly unclear. ,by what measure? Sales? Units sold? Market penetration? ", so if it was unclear, it shouldnt be in the other article too. Regards.Psikxas (talk) 04:57, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Cheers. My only issue with the SHARP reference was that it didn't seem that relevant (it didn't really demonstrate that much). As for what's in other articles, a bad reference in one page is not a good reason to keep it in another. I'm sure there's an independent, third party reference somewhere that establishes Lazer's position in the market, you could try to dig it up. Hairhorn (talk) 05:02, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

No, no a misunderstoon. I didnt mean that because this phrase exists on another article, that it should exist here too. The opposite. That because the same phrase as here, exists on another article on wikipedia, that because we judge it shouldt, we should find then the similar article with the same phrase on wikipedia, and make better/more reliable the other article too. For now, i dont have time even dig these infos, or find the other article i mentioned, but ill do it and ill correct it.

Finally, i added the reference to SHARP, because as you may find, article deleted and they told me that i added a non-notable company, that noone else has written anything about this company in the past in order to belong here. But.xmm..it isnt too relevant? If you judge article will not be deleted again because of a non-notable company, leave it as you think.RegardsPsikxas (talk) 05:12, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

E63 AMG

I wasn't suprised that my article on the E63 would be tagged, I rushed it on the grounds that I would do editing over the next few days (I wrote it in less than 30 mins when it usually takes me 2 hours so you get the idea)so its not my best work (definetly not) and seeing as most of the information came from magazines I thought I might give their way of writing articles a try (none of my other articles follow a magazine like line), which as you can see hasn't worked out so well. Just give me a shout on my talk page if you have any suggestions; thnks! --Bismarck43 (talk) 01:19, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Tina Nguyen

Thanks for the courtesy tag. I enjoy reading all your feedback/comments even though you requested deletion on an article I created; with that said, I have a question that perhaps you'll be able to shine some light on for me. In short, there are many wiki entertainment base articles that have names that appear in numerous of other articles (cross referencing) and I have taken on the task to contribute and create articles on the existing names that appear red such as Tina Nguyen and others in existing wiki articles(ex: producers, directors, actors, studio execs); does that justify creating the article if it has notable internal links to several other wiki articles? I spend hours doing thorough searches to create factual articles and cross references in existing wiki articles that it could be frustrating creating an article and then having it nom for deletion. What I have noticed is that there are those that do not in good faith attempt to search and verify before placing judgement. Any insight would be most useful before I attempt to create anymore articles on living people that are acknowledged in more than one other wiki articles. Thanks for your time and contribution!

Furthermore, I see where I failed in this article in question; I relied on the internal wiki links to display other credits instead of including them in the biography. I have revised the article. Thank you tremendeously for indirectly showing and teaching me something new! I've debated this article in deletion due to the fact that all films mentioned excluding the Toback film, this actress is acknowledged on film reviews and articles; what that says from a film contractual point that she is credited as lead and/or supporting lead which warrants notable billing and press/promotional credit. I'm not sure a lot of contributors realize that it's notability/credibility for actors to be acknowledged as cast in film reviews and press acknowledges their character as relevant.

Would like to resubmit a deleted page

Hello. I created a page today (AEP Netilla Secure Remote Access SSL VPN)that was deleted. I think I understand why now. As you may be able to tell, I'm new to wiki editing/writing. I have posted a re-write on my talk page. If possible, would you please take a look and if it's now in compliance can I post it? Thank you. --Aqwertys (talk) 20:32, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

It's not really up to me to say whether it meets the standards or not. The previous version (I can no longer see it) was deleted for being too promotional. The current version probably suffers more from concerns about notability (ie: why bother having an entry for it?) Hairhorn (talk) 16:38, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Nipple Piercing

Can you verify whether the article being sourced is an actual article or a letter to the publication (like an editorial)? I've tried looking this thing up online and it keeps requiring me to sign in or pay money to read it. Thanks. --13² 13:12, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I've undone my talk page comments, I misread the article history, not realizing your edits were before mine, rather than after. The best I can get you for the article is the first 150 words. It's a letter, not a full research article. It only reviews 3 cases. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 13:18, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

The reason I'm asking is because I'm concerned about original research issues. They only had three patients, it feels biased, and this appears to be an editorial (which isn't considered reliable, even if published in an otherwise reliable source). It also feels like it is making an awful lot of assumptions about the possible cause of these issues, even within these first 150 words. I wish I could read the whole thing, but I'm not going to shell out $15 to read one item. --13² 13:24, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

This is why my edit has the word "suggests" in it. This is a "research letter", not an editorial (there's a big difference in medical journals). My only real goal with the edit was to make Jane66's edit more neutral and to make the inline citation properly. I'm not trying to take sides in a debate. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 13:30, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

No worries. I really don't feel like there's much of a debate. I just wanted to verify the source. I've tried to neutralize the statement further so that it doesn't feel like it directly contradicts the La Leche League (which is more reliable than this letter). --13² 13:36, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi hairhorn and thirteen squared. i have never edited wikipedia before and could not work out how to do the referencing properly, so thank you for fixing that. we do not want to suggest that every woman will have difficulties, but just bring the possiblity to people's attention. An editorial in a medical journal will be the opinion of the editorial staff or an opinion peice by an expert. Our research was published as a research letter, not an editorial and is still subjected to peer review. They did not accept what we wrote without critical review. Jane66 (talk) 05:09, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Do letters really get peer review or just an editorial review? I'm just curious. Hairhorn (talk) 14:04, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi hairhorn, letters to JAMA and many other peer reviewed medical journals are reviewed by 3 reviewers. In our case the reviewers came back to us with suggestions and questions, and the letter was revised several times as a result, before finally being accepted for publication. They were initially cautious about the link between nipple piercing and difficulty with breastfeeding.If you would like further information about the process, look on the JAMA website instructions for authors.I am surprised this topic has stirred up such a lot of interest.Jane66 (talk) 00:42, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

3A

This book does exist. It may not be world famous but it its known throughout schools in Ireland. But introducing it to wikipedia could make it known and educate people about it. It was created for the All Ireland Schools book writing competition and it came in 2nd place. I dont know if you shall find this information anywhere, but I do know there has been a [2] page made about this book. If you wish I could provide you with the pages address so you can check it out yourself? Butchre (talk) 14:12, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

But has it been published? Wikipedia is for documenting things that are already notable, not as a means of promotion. Hairhorn (talk) 14:14, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

yes, it has been published under Longford VEC.Butchre (talk) 14:18, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Eh? As far as I can tell, that's not a publisher. Unless you can come up with a book review, a page on amazon or some other bookseller, you'll have trouble keeping this page on wikipedia. Hairhorn (talk) 14:20, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

This is a link to a VEC page on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocational_Education_Committee . The book was created through The VEC in a competition. Can I ask you if you are Irish or Have Attended an Irish Vocational School? Butchre (talk) 14:24, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

ICM Information editing

The information about ICM came from our own corporate communications department here at ICM. I have actually sent then the information on Neutral point of view and conflict of interest and cleanup to our Director of Corporate communications so they can start to adjust the article.

The information that was previously listed grossly misrepresented ICM as a company. This is why we are trying to add information now. We are new to this and are trying to learn how to enter the information correctly about ourselves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GregoryChun (talk • contribs) 16:20, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

I understand that not all of the information was complementary, and shouldn't necessarily have been there. (Although you can't control your own press). Replacing uncomplementary content with promotional content is not the way to produce a neutral article; your text is bound to be deleted as promotional and unencylopedic, there may be copyright issues as well. I also hope you'll take the time to look at the conflict of interest guidelines. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 16:27, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

I completely agree with you. I/we are not intending to control or strong arm information regarding ICM rather more properly populate information about the company. I sent the conflict of interest guidelines document along with sytle guide to corporate communications and asked them to properly rewrite. I will update this as soon as I get a more approriate version. Sould not be more tha a day or so. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by GregoryChun (talk • contribs) 16:49, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Hairhorn,

Here are my questions given the posting/deleting.

• How is the ICM page any more promotional than, say, the other talent agency pages (William Morris, CAA, etc.)?

• Isn't something better than nothing? The Departments section give readers an idea of the focus and the clientele. If the page is collaborative, and it is, shouldn't the information remain up and just modified by additional users with more balanced information? Isn't balanced the means and not the end, the definition of a collaborative page?

Thanks for any information!

Just a friendly note on Rape camps. After you prodded the article, the article creator placed a {{hangon}} tag on it.

Vachette/page marked for deletion

Thanks for the note and explanation. I'm a UT med school student and familiar with Vachette and have heard its president talk. He's very smart on path practices. I've done other Wiki work and thought he was worthy enough of an article, given how often he seems to address state and national conferences. He's not a public figure but within pathology, he's well known. I'll tone down the article and see if you like it. Thanks. --Toledodocstudent (talk) 19:40, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Cheers, I though it was a borderline case, anyway. Hairhorn (talk) 19:41, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I added the hangon tag, and then removed the services section (okay, maybe too much). I took that information from the company's site. Maybe I should've just summarized(?). Later, I'll see if there are other (enough other?) references to Vachette or its president (Mr. Raich). Thank for the help. --Toledodocstudent (talk) 19:50, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

The real sticking point for me was some of the languge, like " a nationally-renown[ed] and sought-after speaker"... too promotional. Hairhorn (talk) 19:53, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay. Will tone it down. Can't do it now but will later tonight. Does the hang on tag give me some time? --Toledodocstudent (talk) 19:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

The hangon won't give you any tme at all unless you provide a reason for it on the article's talk page. Just putting a hagon tag alone does nothing. You might want to copy the article to your user page so you can work on it later, it may still get deleted. Hairhorn (talk) 19:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

New user talk page

Hi Hairhorn, while welcoming new users I found this talk page User talk:Majorie4m. Would you mind taking a look? Shinerunner (talk) 10:45, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Gone before I saw it. Apparently someone else didn't like it, either. Hairhorn (talk) 16:35, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

A most nonsensical post.

Hello, Hairhorn. My sincerest apologies for the inane and ridiculous post on Kant's page. You said, "the only thing worse than vandalism is unimaginative vandalism." But unimaginative vandalism is vandalism nonetheless, however low a form of it it may be; nonetheless, and I didn't decide on anything more complex- just the necessary minimum to be caught as soon as possible by a one such as yourself. I do thank you for changing the post, which was essentially nothing other than my plan to determine just how efficiently wikipedia works with posts of such a kind. I must say that the revision came quite soon, and I was impressed. Excellent work on your part for blocking idiotic, immature comments (and witless wordplay) on wikipedia's important pages.

Thank you very much for reading my comment on your page. I do hope you respond.

Apologies.

Of course. That was the only one of its contemptible kind. I was a fool, no better than most who post ridiculous comments on wikipedia, (and they with the singular intent of harming it). Again, I apologize for the time I took away from you and to the general population for the harm done. Not least of all to Wikipedia itself, and its credibility as a source of authentic information. Thank you for your work, and I hope you can accept my apology. Dantesqueman (talk) 17:06, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion

Hello Hairhorn,

Regarding proposed deletion of Joshua Blake: The Agency, forgive me as I’m a new Wikipedia user, but I’m confused.

The message states that I can remove it if I object to the deletion, or improve the article.

Technically, it does satisfy notability criteria in terms of "Significant coverage”, should more links be included to show this? There are plenty of news articles on the internet if so.

I have also found other Wikipedia articles on projects still in production, so assumed this was appropriate. There is a completed 6 minute promo for this show, which is linked.

I’m not hugely against deletion if this is too early for it to be on Wikipedia, so I won’t remove the deletion message, but I’d just like to understand the criteria a little better. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time. Jbta editor (talk) 09:00, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Technically, yes, you can remove the Prod template, but you should address the deficiencies in the article, or at least give your reasoning for removing it. Also, and again technically, the status of other articles doesn't bear on this article. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 03:15, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Arunn Gupta

I've recently reverted an edit by user:58.68.8.185 on the Gorakhpur region of India article advertising Arunn Gupta's services, so it would appear that Mr Gupta is operating in concert with other editors.... danno 19:42, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, he's been wiping speedy delete templates, too. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 19:50, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Having spent the day cleaning up the Gorakhpur article (again, there were 8 Arunn Guptaa mentions this time), I looked again this evening to discover that 2 editors with remarkably similar IPs have each added back some of the Arunn Guptaa spam. I don't really know how the system for dealing with sockpuppets works but this looks like a prime case. Would you mind taking a look? Thanks danno 22:59, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

There's an area for sockpuppet investigations, although usually I think you'd have to find multiple accounts, not just IPs. The reports are easy to file. But from what I can see, you've already handled this the right way, by reverting & warning the IP. If it gets worse you can add higher levels of warning and take it to WP:AIV when it crosses the line. Hairhorn (talk) 02:04, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Redirects

That's great. Thanks for the help on the band members of The Shells. I had no idea if they deserved their own page -- but another editor insisted on redlinking them, so I tried my best to turn those links blue. Your approach works for me ... but please keep an eye on them, as this editor has been wikistalking me with a penchant for revising my edits ever since I criticized an edit of his 2 days ago. Thanks again.--VMAsNYC (talk) 00:05, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

A quick question. I don't care either way on this, but a question just popped into my head. The only thing "lost" by the redirect is the Wikiprojects on the discussion page. How is that to be handled -- should they be added to the band's talk page, or simply not added and that issue ignored? Thank you.--VMAsNYC (talk) 00:21, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Cheers. As for the first issue, redirect pages are not a perfect solution to redlinks, because then you get "piped links", the ideal solution is to edit the original links so they lead somewhere else, which will make them blue (this is easy to do). As for the second issue, no idea. Cheers again. Hairhorn (talk) 21:24, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

David Altounian

I am currently building this page as a complementary page to an established article titled Motion Computing for which David Altounian is the current CEO of. This page is no different from Michael Dell or Steve Jobs' and contains information about a contributing member of society in austin texas.

Cw1242 (talk) 17:04, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Merely being the CEO isn't enough to merit a separate page. The other names you mention have notability above and beyond merely being CEOs; press coverage of them is easy to find. Not so for David Altounian. You'll need independent sources to establish his notabilty (ie more than the company's page and his Linkedin page.). Hairhorn (talk) 17:08, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

• Results 1 - 10 of about 78,400 for david altounian motion computing. (0.36 seconds)

That is what comes back when you search him in google. I'm not trying to say this justifies his notability but there is a substantial amount of coverage on him and his business ventures, startups, contributions and other things that he has done that are beyond his position as CEO. How do you start a page and add information to it without admins trying to delete it immediately? You guys are vigilant, I'll give you that, but how does someone who is new establish any sort of credibility on this site when the powerusers shoot them down? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cw1242 (talk • contribs) 17:15, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

User:Nzaqout

I've deleted the nth reposting of the nn bio of the Libyan individual, and SALTed it, as you requested. I was puzzled at the precise speedy tag you'd used because I couldn't find any evidence that the editor who created the article had been banned. I finally realized that you had used the tag because the individual had been temporarily blocked. As you can see, I agreed with deleting the article and SALTing the title; my understanding, though, is that a temporary block isn't grounds for automatic deletion due to the creator having been banned. Just thought I would mention that for the future. In this case it seems that the individual's chances of future useful contributions are unlikely, but I always like to cling to a shred of hope <smile>. If the Libyan's biography crops up again under yet another retitling, please feel free to let me know and I'll assist. Accounting4Taste:talk 03:58, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks... I realized already that banning and blocking are two different things, although by then I'd already tagged everything and gone to bed. Thanks for clearing it up regardless. I come across a lot more banned users than blocked ones (and the user talk page tag for a banned user doesn't say "banned" anywhere.... in fact it says "blocked"). The paragraph of Wikipedia:Banning policy that distinguishes between them could be a little less convoluted as well. Anyway, cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 11:25, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I also started a new article as WETLAB which is the term used for practical medical training, mostly cardiac surgery training, i thought i would start an article up because a wet-laboratory is a room where wetlabs might happen, a wetlab is the procedure *Like saying football and a football pitch-two different things-although linked, if you catch my drift :) So i started Wetlab up as an article but it got deleted, I have quite alot of expereince in this area because my father set up the organisation of WETLAB which brought the practice to a lot of medical practitioners attention, im not trying to spam, vandalise or anything...im just passionate about the subject at hand. I put a link to the website under 'see also' because as you can see there is alot of information found there, like videos and online classes on the subject, it isnt just mindless spamming! (wetlab.com) Thankyou

Did you read the notice I left you? The article I saw was blank, blank articles are deleted very quickly. You are perfectly welcome to contribute something other than a blank page.

I wasn't involved in the other versions, but please note that there is already a wetlab article, and that there are guidelines for the notability of companies and spamming. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 20:32, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Okay then, how can i stop it redirecting to wet-laboratories? there two different things and it mis-informs people, i wanted to right some content in wetlab and then redirect it to that page, when they click on the link of wetlab facilites —Preceding unsigned comment added by Designer1001 (talk • contribs) 15:15, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion tagging

Please be more careful with tagging pages with speedy deletion in the future. Banco Chambers had an obvious assertion of notability. —Dark 06:30, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

First of all, I was replacing a tag that was removed by the article creator, I looked at the entry only briefly. You can take this up with the original tagger. And I have read the "notability section", thank you. Further, I would say that I have yet to see a broad consensus over the interpretation of "assertion of notability"; there are people around here who will tell you "x wrote a book" or "x recorded an album" is an assertion of notability, which is madness. In this case for example "appeared before high court several times" doesn't impress me in a law firm. Hairhorn (talk) 14:41, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

OJEN

Hi Hairhorn,

Thanks for the tip about redirecting. It was much appreciated. However just a quick question on this, will it show up in Google search or other engines when searched as OJEN ? I made the redirect page but it doesn't show up in Google, i am wondering if it takes a bit of time to start to show up ?

Thanks again, B.C —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ojen1 (talk • contribs) 19:45, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

REMOVAL NOMINATION

Hi Hairhorn. Having seen the zeal with which you and a couple of others chase down the possibly-not-notable, I suggest for your inspection the lesser musical references in the popular culture subsection of the Hindenburg airship's article. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindenburg_disaster#Popular_culture the Zepplin album of course is notable, but the other bands seem like self-promotion by tiny entities.

Speedy deletion declined: Robb knie

Hello Hairhorn, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Robb knie - a page you tagged - because: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7.

Correction

Someone put up an AFD template for Dechronication's sub-page, Dechronication/Hypotheticals. I had no idea that AFD'ing a subpage meant automatically AFD'ing the host page as well. Can you link us a policy page stating that the host page must be AFD'd if a sub-page is? --70.179.170.40 (talk) 05:30, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

There's nothing automatic about it. That page was added to an existing AfD, this is a pefectly commonplace practice. The AfD policy even gives instructions for multiple nominations. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 05:44, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

About A T M Abdul Mateen

Would you consider removing your dated PROD from A T M Abdul Mateen? This man actually appears to have been a notable figure in Bangladesh. There are still no supporting documents for most of the claims, but he was a Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan. Shouldn't he have more than seven days for the author of the article to scratch up some references? Yappy2bhere (talk) 09:10, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

The prod is already gone. Speaker is probably enough for notability, yes; that was buried deep in the article. The lead still has no real claim to notability at all. Hairhorn (talk) 15:44, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. By "lead", you mean the first sentence, like a lead in a newspaper article? Oh, and why did you delete my "fact" tag? Was it simply premature in an article with no references at all? Yappy2bhere (talk) 22:08, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

I didn't remove the prod, and I didn't remove your tag, either. Please check the article's edit history (click "history" at the top of the page). And the lead is the beginning of the article, see wp:lead for more. Hairhorn (talk) 22:32, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Ali ‘Fingerz’ Esbai

I've been having a few issues with the article creator of Ali ‘Fingerz’ Esbai removing Speedy Delete tags, and note that the article is a repost of a previously deleted article and you've had problems with him before. Is there a procedure for blocking the editor for reverting deletion tags? Cheers, Catfish Jim and the soapdish (talk) 15:01, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Normally, bad behaviour is first met with warnings (using the appropriate templates on their user talk page). In most cases you would not ask for admin help until you've run out of warnings (there are four levels of warnings). User talk:BaraaAbdulla already has a level 3 warning against removing AfD tags (I placed that one) but there is only one warning about removing speedy delete tags, and there is not even a notification that the repost was tagged for deletion. A block is unlikely until he stacks up a few more warnings. (When you do run out of warnings, the place to go is WP:AIV; there is also Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard, but this case doesn't merit either of those yet.) If things start up again, feel free to tag his page with a warning template for every time he reposts this page or removes a speedy tag from it. Anyone can warn a fellow user, you do not have to be an admin (I am not). Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 05:06, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Hairhorn,

Please can I ask why you redirected Stuart Roy Clarke to The Homes Of Football as he also has books on other subjects and various exhibitions?

Jaco and the fretless

Here are a few examples of the rumor/misconception being spread around. These aren't supposed to be reliable sources, on the contrary – it should strengthen my point that this is a largely held misconception.

[6]
[7]
[8]
[9] (this is supposed to be a biography – quote: "He invented the fretless bass guitar one night by taking out a pair of pliers and some wood compound and removing the frets.")
[10]
[11]
[12] (this is supposed to be a bass related lecture – quote: "It was invented by Jaco Pastorius who, takin' away the frets of his Fender Jazz, could in this way obtain a sound that even more so permitted him to stand out for his enormous technical and expressive skills.")

If you need any more links, please do not hesitate to let me know. I'm not going to take hippo43's bait and will refrain from keeping the edit war going, so I am counting on you to take what I just wrote under careful consideration and hopefully, do the right thing and restore the example yourself. Thank you very much in advance. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 19:22, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. But even if all of these qualified as reliable sources, all this would demonstrate is a misconception popular inside a particular community, not a common misconception. Most people haven't even heard of Jaco Pastorius; even most of the bass players I know don't know or care enough to have any misconceptions about him. Hairhorn (talk) 22:08, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

This is the exact opposite of the point I am trying to convey here: all these are random blogs/sites (which points at multiple communities, not just one) which discuss the misconception from different angles. This is a clear indication that the misconception exists, and as for your claim that most bass players wouldn't care about Jaco... well, I will simply refrain from commenting on that In any case, the jazz community is too large to ignore. Many of the historical misconceptions listed in this article are among the American community, is that trivia as well? Also, this article lists many misconceptions, of which I have never heard before – should I be arrogant and remove them under that claim? To make a long story short, there was not a single music entry before I started editing this article. Instead of a thankful effort to add more material, editors are busy with hair-splitting politics and "compulsive deletionism." Hearfourmewesique (talk) 18:37, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

The Inevitable Flight, notability and close connection

Hello Hairhorn,

Thanks for pointing out the notability bit. I'm working on adding more content as well as external links. The documentary film is over two years old, and hence, there is not much external presence on the web. Please advise what else I can do to make it more notable.

Thanks for all your help!

Hairhorn,

I noticed that you removed Anna Bulbrook, member of The Airborne Toxic Event. The band seems notable, has an Wikipedia article, and bulbrook is a member of the band.--Chuck369 (talk) 14:14, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

You are of course as free as anyone to edit the page. Many, many entries for schools and universities have "notable alumni" sections that are full of vandalism and non-notables; I may be more or less zealous than others about cleaning this sort of thing up. But please note that the notability criteria for musical acts points out that playing in a notable band is not on its own enough to make you notable. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 22:23, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Ezina LeBlanc

I've declined a speedy tag on this -- I know you didn't put it there in the first place, you merely returned it, but I'm hoping I can interest you in either working on the article or alerting someone who can. My feeling is that Miss Black USA is barely sufficient notability to retain the article, and I have edited out the worst of the self-promotion, but this article needs a LOT of work and I don't quite know which project, if any, would take it on. Any assistance you care to offer would be gratefully received. Accounting4Taste:talk

I've found an enthusiastic volunteer so unless you feel strongly about this particular topic I think you can safely ignore my request. But thanks anyway; I know you would have done something useful. Accounting4Taste:talk 20:14, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Cheers. This topic is a little out of my domain, so I'm not sure how much I could have done, but thanks for the vote of confidence anyhow. Hairhorn (talk) 22:18, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

LGBT Equality Council

I note you have just reversed a removal of a PROD on this article. You may not be aware of the guidance of CONTESTED. In this case the PROD should not have been replaced, you could escalate for AfD if you feel this article warrants that step. Ash (talk) 00:15, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Eh? I replaced a speedy tag, not a prod tag. I may have been too fast with this one, but CONTESTED doesn't apply. Hairhorn (talk) 00:21, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Yahero

I've declined the speedy deletion tag you placed on this, and, as I said a week ago in a different context, I think there is barely sufficient notability to retain the article. This was entirely a judgment call on my part, and I do apologize for substituting my judgment for yours. I think part of it had to do with the undifferentiated mass of links at the bottom of the article, which were very difficult to plough through looking for useful material among the cites to blogs and other non-material sources; I don't blame you for a minute for looking at that mess and being unwilling to sift it. I'm going to try to bring this article to an appropriate portal, either connected with games or Christianity, and see if someone will put the work into it that it needs. If you feel strongly about this article's presence, of course, you would be very welcome to take it to an AfD process and I wouldn't blame you for a minute; this one was very iffy, and I think you might want to call this my good deed for the week <grin>; your tag on an article is almost always sufficient for me to delete the article out of hand, believe me, and I appreciate the large amount of articles that you assess. If you have any questions or problems, I am of course at your service. Accounting4Taste:talk 17:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

The most polite speedy decline ever. Cheers to you sir. Hairhorn (talk) 17:56, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm glad you feel that way; I was hesitant to disturb your judgment. I have tried to bring this to the attention of the Games portal folks and will leave it at that. Accounting4Taste:talk 17:59, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Congressman Bart Stupak

Stupak is a hypocrite who promotes extremist Catholic dogma on restricting Women's reproductive rights, while at the same time ignoring the horrors perpetrated by pedophile priests just as Pope Benedict XVI does. It seems for religious and/or political reasons the pointing this out in Stupak's bio (which I feel is valid due to Stupak's open merging of his religion and his politics) is unacceptable to you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.65.222.49 (talk) 02:01, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Overwriting of SD tag

Oops, I'm sorry. I overwrote your SD tag for the Team Suck article. When I saw the article, it didn't have any tag on it and it was obviously an attack page (check the original version), so I used Twinkle to tag it, and apparently it overwrote your A1 tag. I'm sorry for any bad understanding. As I write this, the article was deleted under A7, but checking the logs it seems it was previously deleted per G10. --Legion fi (talk) 04:44, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

I've declined the prod here: since it seems that he was a member of a notable band, I think that notability is possible (I don't say "definite", since I don't know much about notability guidelines for musicians), so I think that this should go to AFD before being deleted.

Brooks–Iyengar algorithm

I have simplified what the algorithm does as best as I can. Reference 1 and 7 describe it as well as it is described in the literature. The algorithm is fascinating since it is implemented in all the nodes so the nodes vote on what the the answer should be close to. The Byzantine agreement has to be exact - either you compute the same answer or it's wrong. The sensor fusion takes measurements at each node and creates one reading for the nodes as a whole.  kgrr ^talk 23:06, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Hairhorn. I see what you mean about not being clear-cut! The two pages are certainly similar and in normal circumstances I would probably have deleted. My problem is that the original deletion discussion was not completed and the article ended up being deleted as a G7, which doesn't apply in this case - the G4 criteria says that the same reasoning must apply in both cases. I think PRODing might be the best way to proceed with this. Sorry to be a pain, but these weird cases tend to fall beyond the remit of CSD. Let me know if you need any help.

List of common misconceptions

As per the Manual of style:

Consistency within articles See also Internal consistency Each article should consistently use the same conventions of spelling, grammar, and punctuation. For example, these should not be used in the same article: center and centre; color and colour; em dash and spaced en dash (see above). The exceptions are as follows:

quotations (retain the original variety of the quotation even if it differs from that of the article; though the precise styling of punctuation marks such as dashes, ellipses, apostrophes, and quotation marks should be made consistent with the surrounding article); proper names (use the original spelling, for example United States Department of Defense and Australian Defence Force); book titles (again, use the original spelling—if there are multiple editions which spell a given title differently, use the one consulted); and explicit comparisons of varieties of English. Asher196 (talk) 16:35, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Eh? There is ample use of International/British English in this entry already. If you want consistency you will have to revert a lot more than one edit. Hairhorn (talk) 18:15, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Indeed, as I look through the article I see a variety of uses, and I don't want to take the time to homogenize it. Asher196 (talk) 18:48, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Well, either make all the edits or none, doing them willy nilly is pointless. Hairhorn (talk) 18:49, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

If you feel the need to revert me on this issue, have at it. It's not a big deal. Asher196 (talk) 18:55, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Given that you've reverted it twice already, I figured it was a big deal... Hairhorn (talk) 18:56, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

No, I thought thought I was keeping the article consistant, but I was wrong. Asher196 (talk) 18:58, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Ah, okay, cheers then. Hairhorn (talk) 18:59, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Although I generally agree that this is not a big deal, there are some points to consider. There is a widely accepted guideline about use of versions of English; see WP:ENGVAR. If the article originally was written in American English, changing other forms of English to American in the article is not inappropriate. As for "either make all the edits or none", the guideline WP:Other stuff exists suggests that it is a weak excuse to try justifying leaving one problem in an article by the presence of other problems. In other words, yes, it would be appropriate to fix the entire article, but no, failure to fix one problem is no excuse for leaving other problems. Wikipedia is a work in progress. Again, not a big deal; when I have time, I'll try to change everything to American English (my being American is irrelevant; I've changed articles the other way also), but in the mean time don't make our job harder by reverting changes that are appropriate. Thanks. 65.41.234.70 (talk) 21:51, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

I wasn't really inviting a general discussion, there is a talk page for this entry... however, in response to your point, someone made a correction, Asher196 reverted it twice, and no one is arguing to "leave one problem". You can't change spelling to American English arguing consistency when there is none. Hairhorn (talk) 22:59, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Everything on Wikipedia is subject to discussion, including on your talk page, which you do not own. You're free to ignore or delete it. As for consistency, let me try to simplify the point made above. Consistency is the goal. Achieving a goal does not always occur instantly. If the appropriate form of English in the article is American English (per WP:ENGVAR), and someone begins the process of changing the inconsistencies one or two at a time, it is counterproductive for you then to step in and change them back with the argument that the article isn't 100% consistent. Please be considerate of your fellow editors and give them a chance to make the necessary changes. That's the main point. No one is arguing that the article as it is now is entirely consistent. The only thing being requested of you is a bit of patience and courtesy. Thank you. 71.77.20.119 (talk) 23:38, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Wow, take it easy. The whole point is that consistency does not favour British English or American English in this case, because there is no consistency. If you want to make the page consistent go ahead, but you'lll never accomplish it through reverts. Hairhorn (talk) 23:40, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

British or American English is not favored in the article because of "consistency" as it is now. Please read WP:ENGVAR. If the article is about an American subject (not the case), American English is used. If the article is about a British subject (not the case), British English is used. If the article pertains to neither or both American or British subjects, the consistency is to be based on the version of English in which the article was originally written, which in this case is American English. Therefore the entire article needs to be in American English. The fact that there might be some inconsistencies at this precise moment does not negate that fact. So if I begin the process of changing any examples of British English to American English, and you follow behind me changing them back to British because "there is no consistency", then there will never be any consistency. I don't think it can be expressed any clearer than that. If you wish for the article to be an exception to WP:ENGVAR, the best avenue for you to pursue that would be on the article's talk page. Incidentally, I still believe this issue is not a big deal, and it will remain no big deal as long as you don't revert an effort to make the article's English consistently American. But when your comments repeatedly suggest that you don't understand WP:ENGVAR and that you might decide to change American English back to British English in the article, that leads me to try to convince you not to edit war when other editors are simply trying to achieve the goal indicated in WP:ENGVAR. If that's not your intent, then all is well and we can dismiss this matter. Thank you. 71.77.20.119 (talk) 23:54, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

I've read ENGVAR, thanks, and you're skipping over some of the subtleties of it. You can make any further comments on the article's talk page. Hairhorn (talk) 00:07, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

No subtleties skipped. In any event, please don't edit war. If you don't like any changes from British to American English, please discuss on the article's talk page. Thank you. 71.77.20.119 (talk) 00:11, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Bill Connor (SC)

I accept your comment that the subject of this article (Bill Connor (SC) may not meet the notability guideline and includes only one third party source.

However, the presence of assertions of notability with references within the article mean that the article does not fall within the scope of WP:CSD. Criterion A7 (no indication of importance) states that this is a lower standard than notability and that the criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source.

If you still contend that the articles should be deleted, I suggest that you take it to WP:AFD. CosmicJake (talk) 15:31, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

I did not nominate this page, I replaced an A7 tag that was removed by the article creator. The nominator was User:Carolina cotton. Hairhorn (talk) 15:32, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Article creators are not permitted to removed speedy tags from their own entries, I replaced the tag on that basis. The page may or may not have qualified for speedy, but that simply isn't relevant.

Jonathan Fisher (lawyer)

Would you please help me by identifying the passages you consider represent a conflict of interest and self promotion. I would like to edit those passages to conform to your standards. Thanking you in anticipation of your help. Natural born singer (talk) 21:18, 4 July 2010 (UTC) Natural Born Singer

The entry overall reads more like an advertisement or a resume, see Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons for more guidelines. And there is still promotional language, even after several rewrites, for example, "Fisher has come to attention as a leading criminal fraud lawyer", a claim that's sourced to two articles in where Fisher is only mentioned. Hairhorn (talk) 12:47, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

I would like to amend this article so that the tags at the top of the page can be removed. Thinking about the passage you referred to, the sentence actually reads in full, "Fisher has come to attention as a leading criminal fraud lawyer and recently defended the former UKIP MEP Tom Wise who became the first British politician to plead guilty to expenses fraud and sentenced to a period of imprisonment". The two articles referenced at the end confirm and correlate to the second part of the sentence describing the Tom Wise case. Do you not think the number of high profile fraud cases Fisher has been involved in including the Tom Wise case are evidence that he is a leading criminal fraud lawyer? Please can you detail all the passages that you feel use promotional language so I can amend them and the tags can be removed. Thank you for your help. Natural born singer (talk) 21:43, 5 July 2010 (UTC)Natural Born Singer

I have to wonder why a new user cares about which entry carries which tags. To establish that someone is a " leading criminal fraud lawyer", you need to find a source that calls him that, not extrapolate from press mentions. To do otherwise falls into original research. Hairhorn (talk) 23:14, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Dear Hairhorn, Thank you for your help. My interest as a new user is that I wish to finish pages that have tags and appear to be unfinished. I have decided to start with this page. As you can see, to the sentence you quoted I have added a reference which calls Fisher "a leading barrister specialising in fraud and corporate crime". Are there any other sentences that need to be looked at or can the tags now be removed? Natural born singer (talk) 09:36, 6 July 2010 (UTC)Natural Born Singer

Blackbird (song)

Thank you for your comments, however, citing a Wikipedia article to justify an edit at another Wikipedia article doesn't work. You need to cite reliable sources, and Wikipedia does not meet the criteria. The term "vulgar" is a matter of opinion and can't be used in this context, per WP:NPOV. The reason that kid got the warning is because he reverted back to the POV version, which is disruptive editing. Radiopathy •talk• 16:05, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

This is a content dispute, not vandalism. Templating a new user with "only warning" for something this trivial smacks of a lack of good faith. And I believe you also violated your own 1RR restriction in the process. Hairhorn (talk) 16:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Stick to the facts: reverting something that was removed for WP:NPOV is not a content dispute, especially when no edit summary is provided; I apologised to the user for templating him - and he is not a new user; I had no idea why the term "vulgar" suddenly appeared at a well-established article, and if it's because the term is used at another Wikipedia article, it can't be properly cited at the Blackbird article; so do the maths. Radiopathy •talk• 21:47, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

The account was created in March, to my mind that makes it new. And calling an edit "POV" doesn't magically make reverting it vandalism. However, I appreciate that you've tried to clear things up with the user. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 03:54, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

misconceptions

... don't you think "facts about the misconceptions, rather than the misconceptions themselves" just increases the amount of confusion, rather than reducing it? Hairhorn (talk) 22:27, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Possibly, and I guess people will figure it out by reading the page, but I've seen at least one link to it tagged with "This list is confusing because it is headed "Misconceptions" but the list contains the truth, not the misconceptions! This is a list of TRUTHS!".

Dr. Lisa Christiansen AfD

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dr. Lisa Christiansen

I am requesting that you consider reviewing the above mentioned article and consider recommending that the article is kept, based on copyediting and established notability. I initially opposed the inclusion of this article on Wikipedia due to blatant promotional tone. The article is no longer written in a promotional tone and cannot be considered spam. The article was copy edited, but still lacked content establishing her notability.

After extensive work on the article, review of her books, and research of books and magazines that mention her, I realized that notability is established, based on the fact that a book has been written entirely about her. WP:BASIC states:

A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject.

The book, Gi–Dee–Thlo–Ah–Ee, of the Blue People Clan, was written in 1974, independent of any involvement by Christiansen, published by the Cherokee Nation, with copies in the Library of Congress, which includes this book and noted in their catalog and listings. Gi–Dee–Thlo–Ah–Ee is Christiansen's native Cherokee name given at birth.

I am now recommending that this article be kept, due to established notability as the subject of a published book, reliable and independent of the subject. Christiansen was eight years old when this book was written. Her notability was established according to the Nation upon the death of her mother, since Christiansen was then the last surviving descendant of Sequoyah. I would like to invite you to review the article and consider recommending that the article is kept, based on corresponding criteria WP:BASIC that establishes notability. It is my opinion that the article needs additional references. However, notability according to policy has now been established. Thank you. Cindamuse (talk) 17:12, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

University Canada West

The LWEI links are all "dead" - but in any case, I have added citations re: Eminata Group operating the university now. If you take a look at the talk page, you will see it was previously added but subsequently removed due to concern of advertisement.

In addition, I removed the Rank= Unranked (Tier 4) for two reasons: a) it was a duplication since there are 2 lines of the same but more importantly, what is tier 4 and who decides which institution is in tier 4? I was not able to find any particular source to it. In any case, it doesn't appear to have any effect on the infobox as it is not shown anyway.--Cahk (talk) 17:22, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Molly Bentley

Hello Hairhorn, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Molly Bentley, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. I think there is a credible argument that she would be found notable at WP:AFD so I don't think speedy deletion is appropriate. Thank you. Thparkth (talk) 02:28, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

I did not nominate this page, I replaced the tag. Also, producer of a radio show does not strike me as a claim to notability. Hairhorn (talk) 03:02, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I shouldn't have trusted the script to notify the right person. For what it's worth, she doesn't have to be notable to be immune from A7 deletion; the article just needs to contain a credible claim of significance, and in my opinion, being the co-host of a fairly prominent radio show does constitute a credible claim of significance.

Another editor recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Pacific Coach Lines.

Speedy of Congregation Kol Ami.

Hi Hairhorn. I think that it may be incorrect to tag Congregation Kol Ami as WP:CSD#G11. The threshold to get past G11 is not very high and I think that this article has made it over. While it needs to be wikified, stubbed, and categorized, and the prose needs improvement, it is not so blatantly promotional that it needs to be “fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic.” I think we should remove the tag. And, by the way, no one placed {{subst:spam-warn|Congregation Kol Ami|header=1}} ~~~~ on the author’s talk page. Thanks! — SpikeToronto 06:25, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

User:AustinBrister page deletion

Hairhorn, for years I was a heavy advocate of wikipedia, and even held open forums to discuss the beneficial and credible use of Wikipedia, as well as its role in the typical scholarly research process. I was extremely active in using my professional experiences and unique educational background to clean up wikipedia. I was determined to defeat people's claim that wikipedia lacks credibility. Eventually, I decided I would make my edits official by creating a user name. With the exception of one article, every article I have ever created has been deleted. As a wikipedia advocate, this is so frustrating, I can't even begin to express. Especially when the majority of the articles regarding the law (my educational background) are still to this day 90% worthless, containing extremely unclear and even incorrect material. As I feel that you are aware, you have frequently attacked my edits or additions to articles. As you know, several months ago, I worked with what appeared to be about 5-8 other users to create an article, and then fix all objections to the article's notability. Also, as you know, that article was eventually deleted. While I objected to its deletion, I knew that, without a doubt, the article WOULD meet notability guidelines after some editing, and after new sources are added. A common practice, I pasted the article in my personal page, and made several time consuming edits. Unfortunately, work took me away from wikipedia for a while, so I was unable to make additional edits. Also, during that time you placed my personal page up for deletion. I find this to be a personal attack. As you continually reference rules, I will do the same. Wikipedia guideles state that a user page will not be deleted "except for blatant or serious matters." Additionally, they state that "The only CSD exceptions are that test edits and the re-creation of deleted material (within limits) are permitted in user space." Please see WP:UP#DELETE to get yourself caught up to speed with these important guidelines. None of these rules were followed in your action against my page. Additionally, "Simple use as a personal web page is not in itself a speedy deletion criterion." So I see absolutely no reason why you did this to me. You have wasted my time, reuined my work, and have personally targeted me for your attacks. I don't know why you have such a problem with me, but I really wish we could work whatever the problem is out. I want to be active again in the wikipedia community, but you refuse to allow it. I feel that you bend the rules to support an attack against my every action. Please stop. Please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AustinBrister (talk • contribs) 06:22, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

What's the point of this exchange exactly? You don't like my edits, you already made that clear. Reasons for your user page deletion are given clearly at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:AustinBrister. There are numerous mechanisms for undeleting a page; this isn't one of them. As to your other points, Wikipedia:UP#DELETE refers to page deletion, not comment removal. See, for example, Wikipedia:Don't restore removed comments. Further comments about how little you care for my contributions will be reverted unread, I'm simply not interested. Hairhorn (talk) 12:36, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

I recently stumbled across The Count Of Monte Cristo (James Behr musical), an article which you've edited. I decided to go through the article's references, giving it a proper reflist, removing references for information not in citation given, etc. As I was doing this, it became clear that the article is more about James Behr than it is about the musical. I'm thinking of moving the article to James Behr, but wanted your input first. Thanks! (Oh, and if you reply here instead of on my talkpage, could you leave me a talkback?

I agree with you on the non-notability of the musical. Haven't yet made a decision on James Behr's notability. I do agree the article seems like it was written by someone with COI if not by the guy himself.

Hi Hairhorn,

Thank you for responding. I don't understand the "user with a conflict of interest" tag. The info posted is factual and biographical. Where is a conflict of interest and how do I correct it?

Again, many thanks. Mschwei (talk) 23:14, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
