European Voynich Alphabet article

... which was deleted.

Could the material/alphabet be transferred here [1] and here [2] (or just one of them and I will do the rest) please. Sufficiently notable for there if not for WP. Jackiespeel (talk) 10:46, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Georgina Moffat

hello there, thought the speedy deletion of Georgina Moffat was a little unsound, not least because she has a definite presence on the net as a result of talents including modelling, singing and acting (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=georgina+moffat). Georgina certainly has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following from Skins. As Rinfoli states, notability is easily verified through the many references. BiggestInJapan (talk) 23:00, 7 May 2014 (UTC)BIJ

Thanks, BiggestInJapan. The article was deleted after a discussion and I do not see any other possible outcome as a result of that discussion. If you disagree, you can appeal my closing of the discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 11:34, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Brickproduction1815, I confess I don't really know what you are talking about but so far as Wikipedia is concerned, there is agreement that the topic, the film, does not merit a page in the encyclopedia at this time. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:49, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Redirect

Could you please make Saparmurat Batyrov a redirection page. We have more important things to discuss. Regards. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 09:06, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I've done so. It's plainly a failed attempt to make a redirect by a newer editor. It happens and doesn't need a discussion to fix. Cheers, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 09:16, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
Thank you very much. One of those issues to discuss: Objectivity. Where and how could I take the article Crypto-Armenians to attract the attention of "objective" (not necessarily impartial) editors? Would you be so kind enough to have a look at the text for yourself? It looks like the main editor has a crypto-agenda of defaming a certain country - or not? Cheers. --Why should I have a User Name?

TERRA PRIME

Hi,

As all new ideas need digestion time, the article tries to survive but got deleted. I am also on learning curve for Wikipedia. Pardon my ignorance, but there is this new material invented by University of Texas at Austin and I wrote a journal article, published and presented several times. How can I make this innovation a permanent part of Wikipedia and contribute to enrich Wikipedia? The reason shows G6 and I didn't quite get it. Also I am planning to write couple of more articles related, "Prime Coat", "MC-30", etc. Please help me.

Australian cricket team in England in 1930

Thank you for reverting my blanking edit at Australian cricket team in England in 1930. I was trying to move the page Australia cricket team in England in 1930 to Australian cricket team in England in 1930, as this is the correct name (according to WP:CRIC), but I couldn't get it to work without a cut-and-paste move, and forgot to unblank the page. I've now gone to WP:RMT to sort the issue. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:18, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Ah, right, Joseph2302, it shouldn't be controversial to move this (and the others). Let me know if you need a hand. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:26, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
@Malcolmxl5:, basically I need to delete Australian cricket team in England in 1930 redirect page (but I cannot find the write CSD category), and then move Australia cricket team in England in 1930 to Australian cricket team in England in 1930. And the same process for Australian cricket team in England in 1934 and Australian cricket team in England in 1938. Would you be able to delete/move these pages for me (since it needs an admin to delete some of the redirects) please?
Basically it's a mess caused by a new editor moving pages, made worse by me trying to move them back, and actually moving them to another incorrect location. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:34, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
{{db-move}} placed on the target page is what you're looking for, I think, Joseph2302. I'll have a look and sort them out. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:38, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
There we go, Joseph2302. All sorted, I think. :-) --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:52, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Duets (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Duets (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Malcolm, I noticed you removing links to Dean Roberts and Dean Roberts (musician). I was wondering if you could restore those two pages as I don't believe Dean Roberts should have ever been speedy deleted. It was created around a decade ago when music articles weren't referenced to the same standards as they are today. -- haminoon (talk) 11:15, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Haminoon. Did this get sorted out? I see the Dean Roberts page is back in the mainspace so I assume it has. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:29, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Malcolm,

I am Bjoyce1, I know you are not the declining admin but the article that I am trying to submit shows that you were the last admin to edit it. The article did in fact meet the criteria but still was declined. I do think the sources adequately shows notability, I think I may be writing the article wrong. I don't know what is wrong with it or what I am doing wrong. Is it possible to get your assistance with this article?

Thanks Bjoyce1 (talk) 03:39, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Infobeans

Hi Malcolm,

I'm Avinash Sethi, co-founder of InfoBeans which is a software firm. I would like to restore Infobeans page on wikipedia which was deleted by you on 1st March 2015. Kindly suggest on how to improve the page so that it stays on wikipedia. Also it will be great if you can provide access to the deleted page, I can rework on it to make it follow wikipedia guidelines. Thanks, VirtualAvi (talk) 06:37, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Avinash,
It is customary to speak to the deleting admin about a deletion so you're doing the right thing here. However the actual article was at InfoBeans, with the capital B, and this was deleted by User:Nakon following a short deletion discussion, so probably best to speak to Nakon about the deletion (what I deleted was a redirect, a page with no content but which sent the reader to the InfoBeans page).
If I may make a comment: The encyclopaedia has criteria for what might be included in it. Essentially, this boils down to sources. If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article in the encyclopaedia. From what I can see, the InfoBeans page was supported only by the company website and that would not be considered sufficient to meet the inclusion criteria - certainly it is not independent of the company.
Kind regards, Malcolmxl5 (talk) 11:39, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Pinging @VirtualAvi: in case he's not seen my reply. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:56, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Malcolm, Thank you for the ping, I somehow missed your reply earlier. Appreciate your feedback and suggestion to connect with Nakon. I will write to him and also make references to several independent secondary sources to establish the credibility of the information provided on the page. Thanks again, Avinash VirtualAvi (talk) 14:11, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Malcolm, Keeping you posted, I created a InfoBeans page on my user space. I emailed Nakon for his inputs. Please see if you would also like to suggest changes to the page so that we can move it to main space. Thanks, Avinash VirtualAvi (talk) 18:10, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi VirtualAvi. How are are oyu getting on with the page? I see it is in the mainspace so I assume things have moved on. I've only had a cursory glance at it but the two case studies in the books by Justin Paul and Upinder Dhar look to me to be the strongest sources and if I was writing the page, I would probably based it around these two sources. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:25, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Malcolm for your inputs, sorry for late response. I read it on mobile over weekend and on coming back to workstation it just slipped my attention. I will try to edit the writeup in light of the case studies you suggested. We also got one more reputed award which will also add to the credibility of the article. 103.231.46.2 (talk) 11:28, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Shawnee, Oklahoma vandalism.

The irony of the vandalism is that I actually know those two names - Bret Guptill and Nick Rinish. It's rather ironic. I'm from Shawnee, and what they basically did was add two random teenagers whose parents happen to teach at the Middle School there. It's completely random that they would be added to it, as I don't understand why anyone would be possessed to add them to begin with. However, I am chuckling at two of my schoolmates being briefly given their own articles and being added to the Shawnee article. Thanks for reverting it, they were definitely NOT notable.

Draft:Sollpura_(Liprotamase)#

Hey I noticed you moved Draft:Sollpura_(Liprotamase)# from mainspace to draftspace which I very much appreciate, but how do we go about putting the right template or tag in the source so that way the AfC box will pop up in the article? It seems the tags on other pages are somehow custom formatted in the article wizard part, so I didn't know how to do it. Thanks. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:16, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

Redirect Vitthal

Thanks for reviewing recent speedy deletion of redirect Vitthal. But kindly let me explain it. There was already one user raised this issue on talk page Talk:Vithoba#Move page to "Vitthal" 2 months ago which no one replied or no one had objection. We can hardly get comments even if we start move discussion. I will provide you some quick sources, this Times of India news using name Vitthal and same news is calling "Vithoba" as "another name". The Times of India is largest selling english daily in world in terms of circulation. On google "Lord Vithoba" gives 186000 results while "Lord Vitthal" gives 31800 results. Moreover, official name of temple is "Vitthal temple", name "Vitthal temple" is written on temple. I don't know why someone started article with name "Vithoba" which is just another name. government website of district in which that temple exists calling him as "Vitthal". I will make one more comment.. --Human3015Send WikiLove  23:44, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

  • Please delete that redirect, I'm well aware of all policies, I'm experienced user. Let me move that article once, it is surely not controversial, as you can see sources. If anyone gets any problem then we will discuss that matter and can revert my move. --Human3015Send WikiLove  23:48, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Let me give you one last very valid argument to convince you. I have moved page Vithoba Temple, Pandharpur to Vitthal Temple, Pandharpur. see here. I wonder, sources provided in that article naming temple as "Vitthal Temple", but creator of the article wrote "Vithoba Temple". (maybe his favorite name). See sources provided in same article, [3], [4], [5], [6]. Is this fair when sources provided by creator of the page has name "Vitthal Temple" and creator writing name "Vithoba"? This is not fair. Sorry to bother you. But please delete that redirect, let me move once. --Human3015Send WikiLove  00:57, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Top Right Group (formerly Emap)

Hello Malcolmxl5,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Top Right Group (formerly Emap) for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 15:40, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

NIRAH

Hi, Malcolmxl5! I'm currently creating an article around the planned National Institute for Research into Aquatic Habitats project, and see that the page at NIRAH was G8 speedy-deleted. I'm looking at either:

  1. Setting it back up as a redirect to the new article;
  2. Moving the article to it (there seems a lot more usage of the acronym), or at the very least;
  3. Pointing it to the disambig at Nirah.

Do you have any recommended/preferred option if I do go ahead with recreating the page at NIRAH? Rest assured, I'm working to ensure that the main article has more than enough referenced and notable content to remain. Thank you for your time. — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 12:59, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

I should probably mention that the disambiguation page at Nirah only lists one other subject than NIRAH, so my personal preferred option would probably be to make Nirah about the Sumerian god (I'd need to create that as well), make NIRAH a redirect to the full name of the aquarium project, and hatnote each to the other (i.e. "For the aquarium project, see...", "NIRAH redirects here. For the Sumerian god..."). This would be dependent on creating an article for the Sumerian god, but I don't really like to see a disambiguation page for two entries when they can be easily told apart by other means. As the speedy deleter of NIRAH in the first place, though, I'd like to know your thoughts before I go ahead with anything. — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 13:09, 24 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the "hndis" template to Scott Price, a dab page that I recently created.

Undeletion of Demetri Betts

Hi. I'd like to request the undeletion of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demetri_Betts Here are two links to third party sources about the subject. Video and article in The Christian Broadcasting Network: http://www1.cbn.com/700club/raving-house-god Books and Music about and from Demetri Betts: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=demetri+betts KonradW90 (talk) 16:23, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, the CBN link appears to be an interview with a person called Demetri (with no surname mentioned) and so is a primary source, i.e. it is the words of Dimetri himself and not those of a third party. The second is Amazon, which is not in any way a suitable source for a biography of a living person. You must be very firm about the use of high-quality sources for a biography; you must base biographies on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.

Wadi "Fa'rah"

Hi Malcolm. I consider Fa'rah, as opposite to Far'ah or Fa'ra, to be nothing more than a typo or misspelling, so I'm pretty convinced that it doesn't deserve a disamb. page. Or any kind of page for that matter. I applied for these and other spelling variations to be redirected to Wadi al-Far'a (river), if that comes through, this has to be fully removed altogether. I hope you agree. In Arabic you have this special sound, ayin, coming from the throat, which doesn't exist in European languages, so they write it as apostrophe-a ('a), that's what it's all about. There is no such thing as Fa'rah. Far'a, yes. Do you know how to remove a superfluous page? I don't yet and maybe you can do it when the redirects are approved.

Neelix redirects

Would you please undo your speedy deletions of Unlawful possession of ammunitions and Illegal possession of ammunitions. Unlike most of the Neelix redirects, these were plausible misreadings of phrases like "Illegal possession of munitions", which is a recognized, contemporary criminal offense. (See, e.g., [8], [9], [10].) "Munitions" is a less common word than "ammunition", and the misuse is quite plausible. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by admins since 2006.

Charles Bakaly III - vs - Animal House

I removed the redirect for Charles Bakaly III to Animal House a little while ago. You re-instated it.

Charles Bakaly III is a lawyer famous from the Monica Lewinsky era.

Animal House is a movie from the 1970's

There never should have been a re-direct, and the article should probably be deleted.

Samuel Robinson

I noticed today that Samuel Robinson (Actor) has been recreated by the same editor, after you closed the AfD as delete. I would flag this as a WP:G4, but seeking your opinion as to whether it would be better to just move it to draft space since Sam3346 seems insistent on recreating it. Cheers. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:57, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

{{User:Ivanvector}} I would appreciate it if it was moved to draft space. I will gather more reliable references and recreate it the page in the future.

@Ivanvector:. I have no objection to the page being moved to draft space so that it can go through the creation process there. It should be approved by an uninvolved editor in the normal way before returning to the article space. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:12, 29 January 2016 (UTC) Also pinging @Sam3346:. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:14, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Malcolmxl5, I was patrolling through the log and saw it redlinked so closed it without looking at the time - Some admins close them and some don't (or some simply forget too) so it was a pure coincidence that I closed minutes after you deleted it , Anyway Sorry about that, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 01:40, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you!

I don't quite understand how I'm making that mistake. I did the same thing when I created the essay, WP:AVDUCK. I see where the urls are different:

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Accuracy vs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiProject_Accuracy. For future reference, if I want to create another project, would I enter:
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:New_project_name? Was my mistake not adding Wikipedia: to the url? Atsme📞📧 02:03, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

One more question - can I create a shortcut redirect, like WP:Wikiproject Accuracy? And if so, where would I do that? Atsme📞📧 02:14, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Atsme: Yes, it's the 'Wikipedia:' bit that is missing. The title of the page would look something like Wikipedia:Wikiproject MyProject or Wikipedia:MyEssay. If you create a (red) link like that in a sandbox, you can then click on the link to create the page. Alternatively, if you create a draft page in your sandbox, you could move it into Wikipedia space using the page move function. The shortcut is just a redirect in Wikipedia space so, for example, you might create Wikipedia:MyProj with a redirect to Wikipedia:Wikiproject MyProject. You would then be able to use WP:MyProj as a shortcut as the wiki will recognise the WP: prefix as being the Wikipedia: prefix. Does that make sense? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 02:39, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
Absolutely! Thank you so very much. I've created the redirect and am now trying to figure out how to change the wording in the header template. I'm thinking I may have to create my own. Atsme📞📧 02:59, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

CÜR Music pages deleted?

I started pages for CÜR Music and its parent company CÜR Media last week and returned today to find you had deleted them. I am an employee of that company and believe what we are doing is indeed different, but would prefer not to go into specifics on a public forum. I'm happy to fill you in on something more private. If you'd like some context, which is not fully accurate but pretty close, you can read http://www.whathifi.com/news/cur-music-launches-us-rival-to-spotify-and-pandora. We had NO part in creating the article and it is not a full description of what we are doing.

I'd like to continue the process of creating pages for our brand, but want to make sure you won't take them down after a fair amount of work is put into them. Please advise on how to proceed and let me know directly if you have any questions.

Truthinwikiland (talk) 17:27, 4 February 2016 (UTC) Truthinwikiland

Hello @Truthinwikiland: Yes, I deleted CÜR Music. The content of the page was 'www.curmusic.com Details to follow' and was speedily deleted as it did not indicate how the topic was of significance or importance. Another administrator routinely deleted CÜR Media as that was then a redirect to a page that had been deleted.
The community has inclusion criteria for what might be included in the encyclopedia. These are summed up as: if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article. 'Significant coverage' means that that the sources addresses the topic directly and in detail; 'reliable sources' mean reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy; 'independent' means sources that have no vested interest in the written topic. You can find more information at:Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources; Wikipedia:Independent sources; Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). As you are an employee of the company, you should also review Wikipedia:Conflict of interest so you can take care to comply with the guidance when writing about your employer.
You may find it useful to use the Articles for creation wizard to guide you through the creation process. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:14, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Hogie75: Blank pages confuse the reader hence we do not have them, rather we either fix them or delete them.

Rejected deletion of redirect of Montgomery C. Meigs

I deleted the redirect of Montgomery Cunningham Meigs to Montgomery C. Meigs (1816-1892) Civil War General, when a new article on a descendant with the same name was submitted, viz. Montgomery Cunningham Meigs(1919-1944), commander of the 23rd Tank Battalion during World War II. By rejecting the redirect deletion, it is impossible for the World War II bio to be created. In addition, I searched all of Wikipedia for any redirect or piped link between those names, and edited all references to the Civil War general then so that no page would go to a blank non-redirected page while the new article is being reviewed and created. All of this was explained on the Talk page. Your rationale, which coincidentally, is the same as you gave for the request for speedy deletion for Palais Crystal supra vide, results in just more confusion and more unnecessary work to correct. In addition, I also created a new dab page to replace the redirect, which will send clarify the distinction between four people on Wikipedia with the same name. How exactly do you propose to rectify this? NotaBene 17:38, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

@NotaBene: I suggest moving Montgomery Cunningham Meigs (disambiguation) to Montgomery Cunningham Meigs per WP:MALPLACED: "The title of a disambiguation page is the ambiguous term itself, provided there is no primary topic for that term."  :) Would you like me to do that for you? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:52, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
I created a new article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Montgomery_Cunningham_Meigs (at least a Class C article, IMHO) on the World War 2 commander who was killed in action in 1944. The disambiguation page was created to address your concern about being redirected to a blank page, however, when you rejected my deletion of the redirect, another user deleted the reference to the World War 2 commander on the disambiguation page, since it now directed him back to the Civil War general (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Montgomery_Cunningham_Meigs_(disambiguation)&curid=49375375&diff=704121102&oldid=704115947). So the purpose of the dab page is now moot, since there is already a Meigs dab page. Per your instructions, I filed a formal RfD, however, the new article is already tagged as already having an existing article, when in fact, it's only a redirect to a different person (the Civil War General, not the World War 2 commander). If you move Montgomery Cunningham Meigs (disambiguation) to Montgomery Cunningham Meigs at this point, then it redirects back to the Civil War general and the new article on the World War 2 commander will never be created. This is getting too complex - I thought the redirect deletion would resolve the issue as soon as the new article is reviewed. Thanks. NotaBene 18:15, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
@NotaBene: Yes, I misunderstood. Is the page Draft:Montgomery Cunningham Meigs ready to be moved? I'll sort that out for for you. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:22, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
@NotaBene: I've gone ahead and deleted it to make way for the move. I'll close the request at RFD too. :) --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:31, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
OK, @BDD: Nothing has been moved yet so there's a bit of time to sort this out. :) --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:43, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
This is above my pay grade. What happens to the original redirect, which sent Montgomery Cunningham Meigs (1816-1892) to Montgomery C. Meigs? Does that redirect still persist? And not to confuse this further, but Montgomery "Monty" Meigs (whose name is actually Montgomery Cunningham Meigs) redirects to Montgomery C. Meigs, Jr. Are you suggesting all of those name be changed to include the dates too? Thanks.NotaBene 19:03, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
I'm going to go ahead and move the disambiguation page to Montgomery Cunningham Meigs as a first step and start a discussion on its talk page. One step at a time... --BDD (talk) 19:08, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

Biscayne Wall listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Biscayne Wall. Since you had some involvement with the Biscayne Wall redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so.

Hi Malcolmxl5. You declined my request for speedy deletion of this article as it is a redirect. My mistake. About the redirect, it doesn't redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject, as there is no mention at all of "Biscayne Wall" on any section of U.S._Route_1_in_Florida#Miami-Dade_County. Nor should there be as it's most likely original research with no verifiability. It's a cleaverly coined phrase WP:A11 not credible in the article about U.S. Route 1. 1305cj (talk) 20:06, 10 February 2016 (UTC)

Please help

Hello Malcolmxl5 ! Thank you for your January 22 formatting of the Zoltán Deme AfD page. I am new here and I am working on this 6 years old article that was not properly sourced. I found more than 40 secondary sources that I have now built in. My problem is that almost no one controls what I am doing, thou I have changed more than a half of the article, thus, I should like kindly ask you, that if your time allows, just take a glance to the article and tell me your advises. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zolt%C3%A1n_Deme and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Zolt%C3%A1n_Deme My other problem is that this tag "Find sources: "Zoltán Deme" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR · free images" proved to be useless for reaching the sources of the 1960-1980 decades, especially the sources of the past communist countries in East Europe where most of the libraries very poorly digitized. For example "Scholar" gives 1 citation, though just with 10 minutes research I got immediately 20 citations! :[[11]] page 65 [[12]] p.2 [[13]] p.23 [[14]] p.1 [[15]] p.289 [[16]] p.5 [[17]] p.2 [[18]] p.353 [[19]] p.35 [[20]] p.1 [[21]] p.46 [[22]] p.75 [[23]] p.63 [[24]] p.84 [[25]] p.64 [[26]] p.1 [[27]] p.48 [[28]] p.317 [[29]] p.196 [[30]] p.101. (Plus I got many items, as "required reading" in the universities, like [[31]] p.1 [[32]] p.1 [[33]] p.48 [[34]] and so on). For other example, Books, Google Books gives 3 items, while this site (and others) show the pictures and data of more than 20 items! [[35]] [[36]] [[37]] This misleads almost everyone, presents the subject non-notable with only one citation and three books, thus, I had to go over this problem and collect printed material. Would you kindly investigate the improved article, is my work now sufficient? I saw your contributions, so any advice, any proposal, any suggestion would be appreciated! Thanks for reading this, sincerely yours, Norbert. 89.133.187.29 (talk) 21:08, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi Norbert. Yes, it can be difficult to find sources in the pre-internet era, especially so I imagine for East European countries.
Let me touch on the deletion discussion. The nominator, In ictu oculi, has present an argument, in their way, that the subject, Zoltán Deme, does not reach Wikipedia's notability criterion for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The criterion is summed up as: "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.". The way to counter that is to present a handful of reliable, independent sources that cover the man in some depth. Are there any biographical profiles of Zoltán Deme?
On the article itself, it is in a unusual format with probably too many references but this can be dealt with as part of the normal editing process.
Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:10, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello Malcolmxl5! Thank you very much for your time and for your review! You understood, in depth, my problems and you lighted the essence for me: "Are there any biographical profiles of Zoltán Deme?" I plan to go on this path ahead, and I will also correct the asymmetry there (unusual format, too many references.) Thanks again, and have please nice days, nice weekend, and good health.

I2Pd page deletion

@I2porignal: Hello, the article was nominated for deletion and after a short discussion, which you can see here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I2Pd, the consensus was to delete the article. The participants cited two reasons: the lack of reliable sources and that the subject did not meet the notability inclusion criteria for an article in the encyclopedia. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:55, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

As you might have noticed the statement "he participants cited two reasons: the lack of reliable sources and that the subject did not meet the notability inclusion criteria for an article in the encyclopedia." was from Feb.6, but the articles have been changed a lot after that. I don't see any discussion or consensus about the latests version, except this comment from that guy, who seem to don't like the project personally. From another hand this page is a first-class citizen in the wikipedia-ru https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2Pd and we are going to add French one shortly. Please consider restoration of this page, otherwise it would end-up existing in many languages, but English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by I2porignal (talk • contribs) 14:11, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

What happens on the Russian Wikipedia or on the French Wikipedia is not a concern of the English Wikipedia, I2porignal. But why do you say 'we'? Who do you represent? As for the discussion, there were four participants not just the nominator, and it's a pity that you did not take part and put forward your views. The deletion can go forward for review, if you wish. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 14:21, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Indeed, it's not a concern, but wouldn't you find it funny to keep claiming something doesn't exists while it actually does in an "another world". Let's assume 'we' as i2pd users asking me for some details. Unforunally I was away and was not able to respond to that two guys at the discussion page before it got closed, so I have to talk to them personally. Please, open that discussion page to let me reply there if possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by I2porignal (talk • contribs) 14:44, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

WP:CREATIVE

I simply wanted to that you recently said WP:ACTOR was the criterion but that is actually for the WikiProject. Note that WP:NACTOR and WP:ENTERTAINER are both for WP:CREATIVE and entertainers thus still applicable. Not to mention, everyone else also calls it this so it is common. Cheers, SwisterTwister talk 22:55, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Yes, I meant WP:NACTOR, I will fix the typos but do note that WP:CREATIVE refers to 'Creative professionals : Authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects, and other creative professionals' while WP:NACTOR refers to 'Entertainers : Actors, voice actors, comedians, opinion makers, models, and celebrities'. The two are quite clearly separate occupations, shown as such on the Wikipedia:Notability (people) page and are not interchangeable. Wikipedia:Other stuff exists could equally apply to the argument that 'everyone else called it this' (they didn't in those discussions I have closed today) and is an argument to avoid in my view. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:12, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi OwenJiang, the community does not usually permit redirects from article space to user space and has empowered administrators to delete these speedily; see WP:R2.

@James Alltheway:. Hello James, the article was deleted after discussion by the community. The concern was that the sourcing was not sufficient to demonstrate that the subject, Yannis Livadas, meets the English Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion in the encyclopedia. You should familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's notability guidance, which is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article. Essentially, Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article. Information on how to identify reliable sources may be found at Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources.
There's a page about creating articles you may find helpful called Your first article. If you are stuck and looking for help, visit the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 14:42, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I have already checked the Teahouse, yet validity appears to be uncertain in may articles concerning people of literature and arts. That is why i send you the specific links, in order to check that they are more than valid and serious. That is, in order to create a page about this poet, me or anyone else is literary obliged to refer to them. So, i presume that i can proceed. Best regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by James Alltheway (talk • contribs) 15:37, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

@James Alltheway:. We have many articles that are poorly sourced and they need to be either improved or deleted. If you intend to recreate the article, the sourcing will have to be sufficiently improved from the original so that the result of the deletion discussion no longer apply. Has anyone written about him in the national press? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:50, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

According to your opinion, if I understand well what you mean, probably not. But I wonder about something: the pages in Wikipedia are designed to highlight something or someone who exists or to rate it/him, to evaluate it/him? Because my aim is not to evaluate, to promote; is to disclosure something, a man of letters and his work, since this person is alive and present and his work is translated into eight languages. So, I really do not see where the problem lies. If you want help me on that. Would it be a good idea to create this article again with a new conception, data and references, in order to check it (i mean you) and examine its credibility etc? Let me know. Thanks again.

I created a page for Yannis Livadas. I posted basic info, bibliography and a small list of confirmed and official references. Please check it and let me know if everything is alright according to Wikipedia instructions.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by James Alltheway (talk • contribs) 20:43, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

@James Alltheway:. Hello, James. It looks as though the article has been deleted since the sourcing was not sufficiently improved. If we can find reliable and independent sources that discuss Yannis Livadas and his work in some depth, it would have a better basis for an article. These do not have to be in the English language. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:23, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, I've noticed a few of your edits (like this) popping up in my watchlist, where you've removed links pointing to deleted articles on under-19 cricketers. These links are actually quite useful to WikiProject Cricket, as these players often have their articles re-created within a short period of time (once they've played at senior level, they generally meet our notability standards). Leaving them as red links can save a lot of trouble later on. Other sporting WikiProjects might also find red links useful, though I couldn't say for certain. Outside of that, thanks for your work in this area. IgnorantArmies (talk) 11:19, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

@IgnorantArmies:. Thank you. I do usually remove links after closing a deletion discussion where it has been determined that the subject does not meet criteria for an article but I will bear what you say in mind. 🙂 --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:23, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Kooga Rugby Page help

I would first like to state I am new to Wikipedia and apologise if I have not followed guidelines. I have recently put up a Wikipedia page for a Kooga Rugby. I have now received an email this morning receiving a ‘Speedy Deletion Nomination’ - I have attached a screenshot to show the thread. I am by no means trying to advertise anything at all.

I am eager to find a solution to this and would happily take advice on how to resolve this problem and I am happy to remove the text that is the problem - if this matter could be looked into.

I have attached the information I had placed on the page below and was hoping someone could highlight what information 'unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service’

@Garethbaillie: Hi Gareth, there are a few problems with this. The first problem, and why it was deleted, is the promotional tone of the prose. This is not surprising because the first section is word for word what is in the 'brand history' section of the Kooga catalogue. Similarly the 'worldwide partners' section is word for word what is on the 'international partners' webpage of the Kooga website (the website is on a blacklist so I can't link directly to it: http://www.kooga-rugby.com/international-partners.htm). This brings us to another problem: copying stuff like that is a copyright violation, it's breaking copyright law, and Wikipedia does not want that. A third problem is the lack of sourcing - every Wikipedia article should be based based on verifiable statements from significant coverage in multiple third-party reliable sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Wikipedia also has a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article: If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list - if it doesn't have suitable sourcing then it's more likely to be proposed for deletion.
'Significant coverage' addresses the subject directly and in depth; a 'reliable source' is one with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy; a 'third-party source' is one that is entirely independent of the subject being covered.
Your first task then is to find multiple, suitable sources about the subject and when you have these, to write factually, in your own words, a balanced piece of prose summarising them. If you want to practice, you can write in your sandbox or use Wikipedia:Articles for creation where you can get a second opinion from a more experienced contributor. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 07:34, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Request help/advice about possible multiple-forum abuse in Connie Fournier article

Hi @Malcolmx15, as a relatively new editor for complex things, I would really appreciate your advice about THIS, which is also related to this. The simultaneous duplication of forums, about essentially the same question (BLP notability) does not seem correct to me. Denis.g.rancourt (talk) 16:57, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

@Denis.g.rancourt:. Hi Denis, it is uncommon for both a deletion discussion and a merge discussion to be happening at the same time but not prohibited. The deletion discussion is probably the better forum for discussing the notability of the subject as it is more likely to get uninvolved eyes on the discussion. In fact, I see that one of our most experienced editors has provided input. I'll take a look at the merge discussion and comment there, if appropriate. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 17:23, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for your response and for your eyes. Much appreciated. Denis.g.rancourt (talk) 15:10, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Isaiah Richardson Jr. AfD

I am writing to all those who participated in this discussion at the BLP Noticeboard that I have now nominated this article for deletion. The discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Isaiah Richardson Jr. Voceditenore (talk) 08:24, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, Voceditenore. When I get back in front of a computer (am on the phone), I'll post my thoughts. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 14:41, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

File:NovoGamer logo, 1 March 2016.png heads up

The NovoGamer article was deleted as a result of the AfD process, but File:NovoGamer logo, 1 March 2016.png remains and is not used elsewhere. The file was uploaded using a fair use claim. Thanks. Elaenia (talk) 01:17, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, Elaenia. I've deleted it per CSD F5. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 02:13, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

I just want to thank you for your help with the blocks of the IP socks. Callmemirela 🍁 {Talk} ♑ 20:24, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

No problem, I see Doug Weller has protected the page now. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:37, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

The Devil's Brigade

I came across these pages last night. They were somewhat of a mess, but I thought I had them straightened out, until I saw you move one. There is;

I was curious why you swapped the first pair (not criticism). FYI; I have just changed the second pair to avoid double redirects. The last pair are straight articles. Cheers - theWOLFchild 20:00, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Thewolfchild, this was a {{db-movedab}} request made by Some Gadget Geek to move the disambiguation page fixing what's called a 'misplaced disambiguation page'. I did a few of those requests today. You can find out more about this work at Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Malplaced disambiguation pages. Essentially, the guidance is that the title of a disambiguation page is the ambiguous term itself, provided there is no primary topic for that term. As you noticed, the pages are swapped around, the disambiguation content comes to rest at the page titled with the term while the page with '(disambiguation)' in the title is retained as a redirect for use with incoming links such as from hatnotes. Thanks for sorting out the double redirects, I didn't spot those, and for your work in straightening the pages out yesterday. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:51, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
And thank you for the info. Cheers - theWOLFchild 21:01, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Johnny Jet AfD closing

Are you sure deleting was the correct outcome? Only three participants with one opting to keep, the nom only brought up it looks like an advert which is a surmountable issue as well as incorrectly identifying the subject as only a "blogger." --Oakshade (talk) 04:27, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Oakshade, the nominator put forward the argument that the subject was not notable, AdventurousMe agreed and SwisterTwister could only find mentions in his searches, i.e not the significant coverage that is needed. CLCStudent argued keep but did so on the basis on that the subject "appears on radio shows, and in over 3,000 publications.", which is not a policy or guideline based argument. But I'm happy to undo my close and relist the AfD and will do that shortly. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 12:17, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks! --Oakshade (talk) 16:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

TearSolutions

I would appreciate suggestions on acceptable elements of a reintroduced TearSolutions page. The main issues of the deleted page were perceived lack of notability, and authorship. Recent new opportunities should address the first. An independent author would address the second. Glaurie (talk) 12:23, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Glaurie, good quality sourcing is everything. The relevant inclusion criteria are the general notability guideline and the more specific guideline for organizations and companies. Both rely on significant coverage in secondary sources that are reliable, and independent of the subject. Get the sourcing right and the rest will follow.
Any new article will have to be sufficiently improved from the original so that the result of the deletion discussion no longer apply. You may find it helpful to go through the article for creation process using the article wizard. Editors at the Wikipedia Teahouse will be able to provide advice along the way. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 13:18, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
Thanks, excellent ideas. Glaurie (talk) 11:42, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

Villige Pump

What's the villige pump? 82.8.133.241 (talk) 00:21, 19 March 2016 (UTC)

It's where the community gets together to discuss ideas, make proposals, discuss technical matters, discuss policy. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:25, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
And where sis it? 82.8.133.241 (talk) 02:22, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
The village pump can be found at this link Wikipedia:Village pump. I would suggest that you float your ideas in the ideas lab: Wikipedia:Village pump (idea lab), where they can be discussed before being proposed to the community. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 02:28, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

ANI comment

Enough.
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

I think you'll find that the name calling is attributed to Cassianto calling me a numpty, not me inserting a word into his comment.  — Calvin999 23:17, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Don't you get it?? He said it about ME. Why should it stay removed? It further shows how he is being for what I have reported him for. Christ.  — Calvin999 23:23, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
@Calvin999: You are behaving poorly. Now step away. Find something else to do. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:27, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
It's not me calling people names is it. It's not me who last commented on the ANI thread is it. Can't believe you're sticking up for someone like that.  — Calvin999 23:29, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Never edit someone's comment. Step away from it all, watch a film or something. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:36, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
I have stepped away from it. I don't want those three editors to be allowed to harass and interact with me or write about me on their respective talk pages as they are doing. Name calling shouldn't be being condoned.  — Calvin999 23:40, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
Why don't you shut up then and stop boring everyone with your whinging. You lost at getting your own way on Sinatra, and we've all moved on. I suggest you do to. CassiantoTalk 21:23, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
Pot? You're now carrying it on, are you not? Do you get some sort of kick out of carrying things on? You have serious ownership issues and everyone knows it and everyone says it. You are really disliked on here. I have private emails to prove it. Do you think Wikipedia is about winning and losing? You clearly do, and you should be blocked as a result. You keep digging your own hole. In case you'd forgotten, you've been reported on ANI.  — Calvin999 21:29, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
