Speedy deletion nomination of Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.nca.gr.jp/jws2008/OS2-firstsc.pdf. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:13, 4 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Diannaa, the history looks a bit confused but I think the above notice should go to Shrekts. Schwede66 00:48, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Just edited the sources in the above article. I added several objective third-party articles and removed the Wikipedia reference. However, the reflist is not refreshing for some reason. Hopefully this will make the sources more reliable.

Optional RfA candidate poll rating

Relisting

Hi,

I just wanted to ask you about your AfD relisting method. I noticed that you managed to relist something like thirty discussions in five minutes this afternoon, seemingly indiscriminately, so I was just wondering how you normally arrive at the decision to relist any given debate. In particular, uncontested nominations with no comments or only comments endorsing the nominator's proposed action should usually be left to admins, since we have a mandate to treat these like expired PRODs and close them as "soft delete". This is even more pertinent if the debate has been relisted with no additional comments. A few examples here, here, here, and here. There's a good chance these entries could have all been closed instead of clogging up another day's log for the next week. I'm also seeing some more lengthy discussions mixed in, like these two, which might be difficult to properly assess at a rate of 8 per minute. Any light you can shed on the matter would be appreciated. Regards, – Juliancolton | Talk 00:44, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Juliancolton: I'm first addressing the soft deletion point you made. I knew about the recent policy when I started AfD closing/relisting back in March. At first I didn't relist the soft delete-eligible ones even though others (e.g. Kurykh and Northamerica1000, who are both admins) did. Then I started doing it. Note: I do examine arguments, though minimally, and the reason I'm so quick at it is that I use User:Evad37/XfDcloser. I'll come to your other points later. J947(c) 01:55, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the response. Kurykh and Northamerica are both admins, so it's up to their discretion whether to enact soft deletions. There are some cases where NAC relists of SOFTDELETE-eligible nominations are appropriate, but I think in general it might be a good idea to leave those sorts of AfDs to admins. That way, at least we'll still have the soft deleting option, even if we decide not to use it. – Juliancolton | Talk 02:34, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Juliancolton: I haven't seen a single case when either of them have enacted SOFTDELETE. J947(c) 02:44, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But again, that's their choice to make as reviewing admins. Many admins – I'd say most – do, sometimes, opt for soft deletion where appropriate. If non-admins relist all low- or no-participation nominations immediately after seven days are up, then admins no longer have the choice and the whole no quorum policy is obsolete. See what I mean? – Juliancolton | Talk 02:51, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

01:46:06, 21 May 2017 review of submission by 47.185.93.163

I believe this actress has proven herself to be of notability based on her online presence and official cast announcements from notable companies. She has also proven to be of high demand in the convention scene.[1] In addition, Morgan has noteworthy roles in many popular anime, video game and movie titles associated with notable companies such as Funimation, Hi-Rez Studios, ScrewAttack and GalaxyTrail[2][3][4][5][6][7] I believe this should also be taken into consideration. She is in big enough titles to be of notability, despite her only being in the industry since 2015. Thank you for your time.

Sorry, but none of those sources are considered to be reliable. J947(c) 18:43, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relistings

Hi, I noticed you relisted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Spindrift (company) a second time, despite the fact that it had no opposition to deletion, and that you had recently done this on other AfDs as well. I'd like to echo Juliancolton's earlier comments. WP:NOQUORUM was relatively recently updated to make it more clear that SOFTDELETE by an admin was an acceptable outcome. BU Rob13's essay WP:Relist bias also makes some very good points here. Relisting AfDs a second time should normally only rarely be done, especially when there are viable other outcomes to the discussion. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:03, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not to pile on, but I'd like to say something a bit stronger than TonyBallioni. The updates to WP:NOQUORUM that I championed make clear that evaluating an uncontested AfD nomination as a PROD is expected, with exceptions only acceptable when an administrator believes the AfD is likely controversial (or for a few other narrow situations). Because the expected outcome is deletion, it is not appropriate for non-admins to relist these, which is one of the reasons the guideline explicitly mentions administrators rather than closers. I'm a huge advocate for non-admins helping out everywhere they can, but please leave the possibly-delete outcomes at AfD to an admin, mostly for the reasons I state at WP:Relist bias. You may find that you can contribute more productively as a closer at WP:TFD (where non-admins can close as delete in all cases) or WP:CFD (where non-admins can close as delete so long as they can carry out the removal of categories from pages; see WP:AWB for the likely method of doing this and feel free to email me for copies of the AWB scripts I used at one time when I closed CfDs). If you need help getting started at either process, feel free to let me know; I'd be happy to direct your towards good resources or assist you in any way I can. WP:ANRFC can always use non-admin closers as well. ~ Rob13Talk 21:51, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You should also message MRD2014 about this as he also did controversial relistings (to some extent worse than me because he relists AfDs with a !vote apart from a nom the first time). Also, the outcome would practically always be the same, as other regular participants will just do the same thing. J947(c) (m) 01:50, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding relists, I usually relist if there is only one !vote aside from the nom, usually unless it has been already relisted. I don't consider one !vote to be consensus. WP:RELIST says

However, if at the end of the initial seven-day period, the discussion has only a few participants (including the nominator), and/or it seems to be lacking arguments based on policy, it may be appropriate for the closer to relist it, to solicit further discussion to determine consensus.

—MRD2014 Talk • Edits • Help! 01:56, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Then you should also read the revamped WP:NOQUORUM, MRD2014, which makes clear that you should not make such a relist when there is no-one opposing deletion in almost all cases. Also, see note #2 in WP:RELIST, which references NOQUORUM. ~ Rob13Talk 02:15, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
he nomination statement counts as one delete vote (that's why the article is at AfD in the first place. It would take at least two clearly policy/guideline compliant 'keep' votes to close as 'keep'. This does not inclued 'I like it' votes which usually come from the article creator. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:25, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@BU Rob13: I have read it and will take that into consideration when relisting future AfD discussions. Should a discussion be closed if there are no !votes and it hasn't been relisted, assuming it hadn't been PRODed in the past? —MRD2014 Talk • Edits • Help! 02:28, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@MRD2014: The short answer is "Usually, yes". The long answer is "It depends". It definitely should be treated as a PROD. Almost always, this means soft deletion (where anyone can request restoration at WP:REFUND). Sometimes, this means relisting after doing some WP:BEFORE research (or !voting) because the topic appears notable. Sometimes, it means relisting because the argument given by the nom is patently awful (e.g. comprised only of arguments to avoid, etc). These are rare exceptions rather than the norm, though. Because deletion is solidly on the table, these decisions should be made by admins. `~ Rob13Talk 02:34, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification. —MRD2014 Talk • Edits • Help! 02:39, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-admin closure of controversial topic

Hello, J947. I see that yesterday you made a non-administrative closing of WP:Articles for deletion/Sumana Secondary School. But the guidance for non-administrative closings (WP:NAC) tells us that they should be done only "absent any contentious debate" (see item 1 under "Appropriate closures"). This guidance is repeated at item 2 of "Inappropriate closures" and again at item 1 of "Pitfalls to avoid". Would you please explain why you thought it appropriate to make a non-admin closing of this discussion, given that there certainly was debate over the applicability of pre-RfC consensus? I look forward to hearing your response. NewYorkActuary (talk) 23:29, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted this close because it does not appear to weigh the arguments based on policies and guidelines, as required when determining consensus. You can see my relisting statement for more detail. ~ Rob13Talk 02:34, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@BU Rob13: Did you mean 'secondary schools are not presumed notable automatically' instead of 'secondary schools are not presumed notable'? J947(c) (m) 03:04, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, I meant what I said. They are not presumed notable. That's not to say they're presumed not notable, which would be quite different. They just don't have any presumption of notability such as NFL players do (see WP:NGRIDIRON). There's no policy or guideline which states that "this is a secondary school" is an argument for keeping an article. ~ Rob13Talk 04:08, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Which is precisely what I was trying to say in my rebuttals to the !keeps, with a link to the exact same RfC BU Rob13 cited in his relisting comment. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 04:31, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback granted

Hi J947. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war.
  • If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
  • Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Mz7 (talk) 08:15, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

12:57:39, 6 September 2017 review of submission by Bws7


The individual who is the subject of this article was the first African American to graduate from Stanford University Medical School, the first African American head of a department at a Harvard-affiliated teaching hospital, the first African American professor of medicine at Yale University, a professor at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, and a Vietnam veteran. All of which is referenced from reliable sources. Yet he doesn't meet the "notability" requirement. And Wikipedia has an article on toilet paper orientation. Well done.

@Bws7: He may well meet the notability requirements. But you have to show that he meets it, through significant coverage in reliable sources. Right now that requirement is not met. I hope this clarify the situation for you. J947(c) (m) 05:14, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It does not. The sources I've cited are from Brown University, Harvard University, the American Academy of Orthpaedic Surgeons, and the New York Times. I'm not sure which of those fails to meet the standard of "reliable". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bws7 (talk • contribs) 14:48, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Bws7: Firstly, reliable sources are almost always newspapers. Secondly, the Harvard University source is just a fact-displaying profile. Thirdly, the Brown Alumni Magazine may well be okay for notability, but notability requires multiple sources. Fourthly, the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons source is pretty much a primary source. Fourthly, while the NYT is very reliable and he is there, normally at least 3 (semi-) reliable sources would be safe to have an article like this. Also, please sign your comments.

Trump Orb relisting

Hi, I noticed you relisted the AFD discussion for the Trump Orb article, with the given reason being to "generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus". However, consensus seems to be overwhelmingly favorable towards deletion, while the cases being made for keeping have not responded to further scrutiny. Could you explain why you decided to relist it? Mr. Anon515 21:27, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr. Anon515: My relisting was because:
  • It is a controversial topic,
  • A previous discussion resulted in 'no consensus',
  • There was not a clear consensus.
I hope that my answer satisfies you. J947(c) (m) 03:14, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

13:05:26, 21 September 2017 review of submission by AlfredGoodach


Hi J947, You reviewed the "Papamitrou" page and declined it due to not having enough notability. Can you give me some pointers so I can go ahead and make the appropriate changes? You also said that references to Wikipedia are not allowed so, I can fix that.

I am interested because this is the second time that this page was declined. This producer is signed to a Record Label that is part of Atlantic Records (Dreamchasers) and also has one song that made id to the Billboard 200. Also, on the Album named: "Wins and Losses" by Meek Mill that was released on 7/21/17, this producer has as 3 songs and the Album debuted No 3 on the Billboard 200..and it is still on the Billboard.

I read that this is a requirement for notability by an artist which he satisfied.

This is the article from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)) that outlines in the "Criteria for musicians and ensembles" section the requirements in order to be notable. It also mentions that: "Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria".

Since he is a instrumentalist (creating music for hip hop artists) wouldn't he meet at least criteria #2 on this list?

Any help would be appreciated.


Thank you, Alfred.

@AlfredGoodach: Sorry, but criteria #2 means a single or album actually made by that artist. Also here are the main tip:

I would like to draw your attention to Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#G13_clarification--S Philbrick(Talk) 20:04, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for putting on the spot. Initially, I thought I was wrong and I had simply missed the scope of the change. However, I was doing some work with my own user space drafts and realized I have some over six months old that I prefer not to lose and I wondered if they were going to fall under the knife. That's what encouraged me to decide to ask for clarification. In retrospect, I should've come to you privately and discussed first. Thanks for pitching in and helping to clean out some of these drafts.--S Philbrick(Talk) 21:49, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled

Hi J947, thank you for your welcome. I've run into a snag, as I am being trolled by 'TheMovieGuy' re my work on Lost in space and I was hoping you could check this out for me. This guy doesn't make edits, he completely removes my entire body of work on the page This last time he even threatened the page with deletion if I reverted my work back, which I have done. I do need to add some citations and am currently compiling my sources but I am wondering who 'TheMovieGuy' thinks he is. My work on Lost in Space 2018 has been commended by people involved in the production, and many others. Any advice would be much appreciated Heres the revision history link https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lost_in_Space_(2018_TV_series)&action=history Cheers RokkoRokkoRokkanno (talk) 19:38, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@RokkoRokkoRokkanno: My advice is: Communicate with TheMovieGuy and try to reach a consensus between you. Hope this helps, J947(c) (m) 19:52, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also, please don't attack other editors. J947(c) (m) 19:57, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The speedy deletion tag was removed from this page by its author, but they at least added some content. I tagged it some for improvement, but it may still be appropriate to propose for deletion, I'm not sure. Phil (talk) 20:27, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi J947,

Not sure if this guy is open for discussion You removed the deletion notice and then he put it back again. I will add citations ASAP. Question - A lot of the information is derived from Cast and Crew social media. How would I cite this - Links to the source info? RokkoRokkoRokkanno (talk) 00:31, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
