October 2011

Please do not remove Biographies of Living Persons prods from an article unless it contains at least one reliable source or was created before 18 March 2010. If you oppose the deletion of an article under this process, please consider sourcing the article or commenting at the respective talk page. Thank you. Sorry for templating you, but Twinkle is awesome. Also, I'm refering to Hélder Godinho (it doesn't have any sources; external links are different from sources) and Daniel Stana. (also had no sources; again, external links are separate, since they usually give more info about the subject, rather than showing that that is where they got that information from) LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 14:12, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Please read the link in the template, and you will see that for WP:BLPPROD to be used it requires that "the article contain no sources in any form (as references, external links, etc.)". Maybe you should stop using Twinkle, slow down and check things properly before throwing templates around. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:16, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

I honestly think Hélder Godinho would still be up for deletion per WP:BLPPROD, as the external link included seems to be a Spanish page, and therefore, would go on the Spanish Wikipedia, not the English Wikipedia. Perhaps we could transwiki that article to the Spanish Wikipedia? LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 14:24, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Also, no real need to tb me. I usually am watching pages for a while after replying. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 14:26, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Why on earth would we want to transwiki an article written in English to the Spanish Wikipedia? Once again, you don't appear to be thinking before writing. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:27, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Facepalm That is the point, of course. We could get it translated and then transwiki it. Either that or I see no reliable sources for that article. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 14:31, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

I'd really people didn't use that facepalm template. It is really quite uncivil. It is tantamount to saying "you are being thick for not understanding me". Here, however, Phil is quite correct, and it is yourself who has missed the point.--Scott Mac 15:49, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

Second that. Using that template is bad enough when you're in the right, but when you've totally failed to advance a valid argument and misunderstood the relevant policies... Alzarian16 (talk) 19:13, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

If the source is unreliable for English Wikipedia then it is just as unreliable for Spanish Wikipedia. Reliability is not a function of language, and the "English" and "Spanish" in the names of the Wikipedias refer to the languages in which articles are written, not the languages of the sources used. And, btw, that source is in Portuguese, not Spanish. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:09, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

WP:ATHLETE

Hi, in regards to your edit comment here: [2] I just wanted to highlight to you that WP:ATHLETE states, "This guideline is used to help evaluate whether or not a sports person or sports league/organization (amateur or professional) will meet the general notability guideline, and thus merit an article in Wikipedia." Note that it covers sports league/organizations. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 21:18, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

It claims to do that, but I can see no criteria in the guideline that actually cover sports teams. I'm sure that if there were any such criteria they would include the common sense criterion that national teams of major countries in major sports should be considered notable.

		The Article Rescue Barnstar
		For rescuing two of my yet unfinished articles on Indian Legal Organisations from deletion. I am new to Wikipedia (3 months old) and would take some time to develop the skills of writing an entire article all by myself. Suggestion for the Wiki Community: I believe that articles should be allowed to be created(even one liners) and a 10 days time frame given to develop the same. This is so because a so called editor must have felt that some important topic has been left out and the same needs to be worked upon (and maybe he knows very less on the subject). Keeping the same as a user project wouldn't really help because if it is published then maybe the first paragraph may be created by some other person altogether.

Hello, could you please point me towards the precedent that meant removal of all youtube references from the article Libyan Hostage Situation 1984? Gailsedotes (talk) 10:16, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Anyone can post to Youtube with no editorial oversight, so it can't be considered a reliable source for anything. The general principle is explained in our verifiability policy and the guideline on identifying reliable sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:14, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

You PRODded this, and I deleted it. That has been questioned on my talk page, so I have restored it and now notify you in case you wish to consider taking it to AfD. According to the requester, it is more important tan the one-line article made out; I am going to post a note at WT:WikiProject Software to see whether anyone there is interested in exanding it. regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:32, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Arthur Nozik

Hi Phil,

You removed the PROD from Arthur Nozik - I've put it forward for AfD, since I still haven't been able to find anything that demonstrates he passes WP:PROF or WP:GNG. You may have found sources that prove otherwise, but either way I thought you might want to weigh in on the discussion, it's at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arthur Nozik‎.

November 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from RKSD College Of Pharmacy, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion and appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Clarkcj12 (talk) 01:56, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

I did not create that article, so am entitled to remove the speedy deletion tag. Please don't throw warning templates around when you are the one acting in breach of policy. I would advise you to make sure that you have read and understood the speedy deletion criteria before tagging any more articles, for example WP:CSD#A7 clearly says, "not including educational institutions", when describing what articles it applies to. By mistagging articles in this way you are not helping Wikipedia, but rather driving away potentially good editors. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:04, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

I am sorry, I didn't see that part when I last looked at it. I am sorry about that mistake I didn't see the part about it not including educational institutions. I also thought you were the creator of the article. I am so sorry about that.--Clarkcj12 (talk) 18:35, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Type H Sword for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Type H Sword is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Type H Sword until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:27, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

That might be how you found the articles, but it's not how you left them, so they were no longer duplicates. I've made a basic start on sorting out the mess that you left. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:59, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Dark Tower film adaptation proposed deletion

Can you please explain to me the circumstances of removing the proposed deletion tag from The Dark Tower series film adaptation? I believe it is very clear that the page should be deleted. It completely opposes all Wikipedia:NFF guidelines. This is why I proposed it for deletion. I made a very detailed and particular case for why the article should not exist on Wikipedia at this time and should be merged into The Dark Tower (series) until such time as principle photography on a Dark Tower movie begins. However, User:Jmj713 did not make a case against the facts I laid down. He/she simply reverted my proposed deletion and said the article had many sources. Having many sources is not a case against the facts I saw for deleting the page. Nor did Jmj713 discuss the notability guidelines for The Dark Tower series film adaptation. This user simply used editing war tactics to protect a page they created which blatantly opposes Wikipedia film notability guidelines. As I said they reverted my edit to propose deletion without discuss the allegation for deletion. You said that an article can not be "A WP:PROD tag can't be reinstated once it has been contested" and yet user Jmj713 did not contest the edit, they simply reverted it without properly discussing the reasons for proposed deletion.Danleary25 (talk) 18:33, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Please see WP:PROD for the instructions for using the proposed deletion procedure, in particular point 2 in the introduction: "If any person (even the author him/herself) objects to the deletion (usually by removing the {{proposed deletion}} tag), the proposal is aborted and may not be re-proposed." (my bolding). If you want to get this deleted you need to start a discussion by following the instructions at WP:AFD. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:43, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Jacopo Saltarelli

Jacopo Saltarelli is completely non-notable. He lived with his brother, a goldsmith. He is reputed to have been an artists model. He was twice charged with sodomy, on one occasion with someone famous. Charges were dropped. Nothing more is known about him.

The reason why his article gets a few hits is simply because there was a link to it from the article Leonardo da Vinci's personal life. It is natural that people reading the section of the article that deals with that case, and seeing Jacopo Saltarelli linked, then follow the link to find out more. But there is nothing more. All that is known about Saltarelli is in the article about Leonardo da Vinci's personal life.

The information is highly relevant to the article on Leonardo, because:

• the sodomy charge is the only fixed date in Leonardo's life at that time,
• because his various biographers have speculated that the court case had a profound effect on him. It has been suggested that he became celibate as a result, and argued that he simply became cautious about his (presumed) homosexuality.
• it is absolutely the only thing that we know for certain about Leonardo's sexuality, and sexual involvements.

As for Jacopo Saltarelli, he wasn't a famous goldsmith. He wasn't a famous artist's model as no known picture exists of him. He wasn't even a famous prostitute in his own right. His only claim to fame is that he might have been laid by Leonardo da Vinci.

The person who created the article has left Wikipedia. The other person who worked on it, Haiduc, who has continually manipulated the biography of Leonardo wherever possible in order to prove pederasty, doesn't seem to have been around for a few months. I checked these people out before putting up the banner.

You have seemed to have decided that the removal wouldn't be controversial. I suggest that if you put the banner back, you will find that it is fairly uncontroversial, because, as I have said, he is non-notable, and the information is already merged in the article where it is relevant. No-one will look up Saltarelli for any personal fame. We only have his name because it was in the court record. As I wrote earlier, it is pointless to have an article on every prostitute who might have had a liaison with a famous customer. It is ridiculous. Amandajm (talk) 23:02, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

OK! The leading sentence to the article now makes his total lack of notability perfectly clear. It states:

Jacopo d’Andrea Saltarelli (b. 1459) was an apprentice goldsmith and male prostitute, about which nothing is known except the details of court records of several charges of prostitution, in one of which Leonardo da Vinci was among the accused.[1]

Amandajm (talk) 23:28, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

If you think that this should be deleted rather than, for example, redirected then the place to dicsuss it is WP:AFD, where everyone can join in the discussion, rather than my talk page. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:13, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

suicide angels CSD rever

The original csd was "contested" by me. At the time I viewed the article, it was not blank (the author blanking had been reverted by another editor, before the author CSDed the article themselves).

As the page was not blank, I replaced the blank CSD with the notablity csd (as the page has previously been CSDed on those terms).

As I am the person that placed the new CSD, and the person that reverted the old CSD, I don't think that qualifies as "contesting".

Gaijin42 (talk) 17:19, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Try looking properly. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:39, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

MM., however, there was a CSD on the article at the time I modified it. I just changed it to a different reason. In any case, the author blanked, (reverted by someone else), so I am not sure does your contesting a notability CSD, mean that it can no longer be CSDed due to author blank? In any case, I shall AFD as there seems to be arguments on both sides. Gaijin42 (talk) 18:01, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Tokheim - removal of Speedy

I have replaced the Speedy template you removed from this page with the comment "contest speedy deletion - "one of the leaders in this market" is an indication of importance/significance". If it is indeed notable then citations need to be provided to indicate this. If you wish to contest the deletion please do so on the article's Talk page rather than removing the template. Thanks Vrenator ^talk 10:12, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

References are not required to avoid speedy deletion under WP:CSD#A7, only an indication of importance. The place to discuss deletion based on a lack of sources or notability is WP:AFD. I am not the article creator, so am perfectly entitled to contest speedy deletion by removing the template with an edit summary. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:29, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Mohamed Mursal Sheikh Abdurahman

I tagged the Mohamed Mursal Sheikh Abdurahman article as needing some serious work, and you reverted that edit with the comment "revert disruptive tagbombing." While you may object to the tags, you didn't fix any of the issues described, nor did you explain why you thought the issues weren't applicable.

For instance, the article should absolutely be tagged as an {{orphan}}, as it has zero incoming links from articles.

If you want to improve the article, then improve the article—but don't just remove tags and think that that helps anything. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 02:38, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
