Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rational mysticism
You deleted the term rational mysticism, a concept which I and a number of scientifically oriented individuals consider an important concept. There was certainly research included in the article. Do you find the term somehow offensive or is it some other personal opinion which you are expressing. I check my watch list frequently and this term was on my watch list. I find no notification that the term was to be deleted. How did you manage to circumvent the notification? I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the deletion and dispute this deletion. Richard Dates —Preceding comment was added at 21:30, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Don't know what this prod stuff is. All I know is that this term doesn't come from my original research. It discussed widely on the web. It was used as a core concept in a sermon by the former head of the Unitarian-Universalist Association, John Buehrens. It seems to be a key concept for a lot of significant people more important than me or most wikepedia editors. Sorry, I'm not an expert on Wikipedia technicalities like 'prod'. Richard Dates —Preceding comment was added at 00:37, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your courteous answers and constructive work on the concept rational mysticism. It seems with the heat it has generated, it must have a bit of emotional impact for some of the other editors. It seems to be growing into a notable idea but definitely not a movement...yet. Richard Dates 23:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I have been very positively impressed by your contributions to this article. There is now a lot of what appears to be good info in the discussion section which might be added to the main portion.

Hi, can you please restore the contents of the article Motif (narrative)? I think that this subject is encyclopedic in nature and can be made into an encyclopedic article, which is more than just a dictionary definition. Even if you disagree, please restore the content and immediately convert the article into a redirect to Motive, in order to restore the history and let other users work on the content starting from the previous version. I am asking this because the article was deleted due to a PROD, and not a speedy or AfD, and therefore it does not require community concensus to restore its contents.

I'm curious why you deleted Template:AbortionbyCountry. Well I know why you deleted it: because someone had listed it as WP:CSD#R3. However, I do not believe this template was simply an implausible typo (R3 only applies for recently created redirects). This was the title of Template:Abortion by country (sidebar) for over a year. Sardanaphalus, without any prior discussion, decided to rename the template, use automated editing to change the old links, and then requested the template be deleted in under an hours time. Redirects are cheap and I wanted to get your perspective on deleting this redirect given this information. (also this seems like a very specific reason to keep the redirect around, at least for a little while).- Andrew c [talk] 03:36, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

You recently deleted the J.W. Childs Associates page due to "copyright infringement". I believe if there was any material that was objectionable it mas minimal. I would ask that you point out specifically where the objection was as the text for that article was generally original, with certain sections referencing articles and various different sources. As this cites certain facts around areas of investment there will be certain words that are the same but this can be removed or corrected if necessary rather than deleting the entire article.
This article was created as part of the Private Equity Task Force. If there is inadvertant material included I will work to correct any issues but a speedy delete seems unwarranted here. |► ϋ r b a n я e n e w a l ◄| ( talk) 04:50, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello Athaenara,
As you are the Admin who deleted the copyright violating article FNSS Armored infantry fighting vehicle I ask you for advise. The deleted article was not only a copyvio, it was also redundant, as the already existing ACV-300 is about the exact same vehicle. The user who "created" the deleted article, User:Oguzhantr, has edited ACV-300 so that it is identical to the deleted one (and therefore contains versions that are copyvios). Even though I reverted that once, he changed it back already. My question is basically, what to do now? Can those copyvio-versions be deleted without deleting the whole article? Is it vandalism when he'll continue to revert my edits? The user seems, to put it mildly, "unaware" of copyright restrictions that exist here on Wikipedia, if you take a look at his talk page, and ignored the numerous warnings that he has received from numerous users throughout the time he's been working here. How can I now prevent him from doing more such stuff? -- DavidDCM ( talk) 21:41, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
A little update. Admin Ian13 has just blocked User:Oguzhantr for a week. But now an IP-adress user keeps on doing bad things to the ACV-300 article... :( (Who that might be?) -- DavidDCM ( talk) 22:20, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Over at Possibly unfree images/2008 August 22, you wrote:
After deleting the image as per WP:CSD#I9, I checked the blocked user's image contribs for other images which have not been deleted. It seems likely that some or all of them may be similarly eligible for deletion.
I recommend that along with looking at the images uploaded by Martinez07, you should also probably look at those uploaded by the other sockpuppets of PoliticianTexas. I haven't seen an image yet that hasn't turned out to be found online with a copyright attached—but looking for all those images one-by-one somewhere on the Web is time-consuming, and I'd be willing to bet they're all in some state of copyvio.

Hi. :) I was about to respond to this one when you got to it.

Hi - I originally put all the tags and then only later the csd when i realised that the links at the base of the article had nothing to do with the group. We often have fly by edits of articles that come in english (usually very poor) or even Indonesian into the Indonesian project - and never hear from the editors again - it can be very frustrating at times as either their english is so poor that they do not understand either the notices or what is happening. Apologies for having muddied things by the tags and then the csd - probably should have left it with just one or the other - there are easily 100 articles in the indonesian project with similar issues - slowly trying to resolve them Satu Suro 01:08, 12 March 2009 (UTC) Just saw your delete - oh well another issue solved - but there are always more in the wings :( Satu Suro 01:10, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I believe that my article - Astro & Glyde - was deleted under false pretenses. While it may have originally been slightly biased, I subsequently altered the article to make it objective. After this was done, no justification was provided as to what was wrong with my article or why it was deleted. It no longer met the previous criterion, yet it was deleted under a criterion that only applied to the original edition.

Hello! I see you've deleted User talk:142.167.207.95, however, I wonder why? Your rationale was WP:G7 (One author who has requested deletion or blanked the page), but if the user simply blanked the page, there is no reason to delete. Any block notices, warnings, or similar content is useful and will disable future users; if the user requested deletion (unless they were the only author), WP:G7 wouldn't apply: G7 specifically states "Note that this does not apply to user talk pages, which are not deleted except under very exceptional circumstances: see WP:DELTALK." So, unless there were privacy concerns, harassment, threats, gross offensiveness, or other serious violations, it wouldn't apply. Users frequently blank their page to "hide" warnings and nasty stuff, not realizing we could have looked in the page history (had you not deleted it). — mono 01:23, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Just a note, you should really avoid speedy deleting any page that another admin has previously declined to delete this way (I don't say this though because I was the one who declined it). It may lead to wheel-warring and possibly encourage some users to try and game the system by tagging an article again and again until some admin decides to delete it - risks one should try to avoid.

User:Burpelson AFB recently placed a WP:CSD#G7 on Tha Truth/ Tha NonConformist Movement.
I am afraid this G7 was an instance of a hasty, careless nomination. Burpelson was not the sole author of Tha Truth/ Tha NonConformist Movement -- they left a heads-up on User talk:Ppleen, the contributor who did create the article. Their heads-up says they placed a {{ prod}} on the article, not an G7.
No offense, but isn't the speedy deletion process supposed to require two sets of eyes to look at the article? Shouldn't the deleting administrator check the article's history, when they encounter a G7, to guard against careless nominators who claim to be the sole author -- when they aren't?
I see User:Ppleen has several admonishments since Burpelson's heads-up. Unfortunately, hasty and uncivil new page patrollers turn good faith newbies into vandals.
May I make a suggestion? Why not regard the G7 Burpelson did apply to have been the {{ prod}} they said they were going to apply, and restore the article, and let the {{ prod}} run its full seven days? Geo Swan ( talk) 03:00, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

I would like to apologize if I did anything wrong, as far as the talk pages that I "created". I still have a lot to learn here, and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. I came across several articles ( Yoso, and Trysting Tree, for example), that were, for lack of a kinder word, just terrible articles. I realized that if I cleaned up these articles, I would have to remove just about everything written. As there were no real BLP violations, I figured the safest thing for me to do would be to simply place "original research" tags on them. Of course, the OR tag suggests using the talk page, as a means of attempting to make improvements. Several articles, these two among them, had a red-link talk page. I figured (perhaps not too brightly) that it would be inappropriate to suggest discussion on a page that doesn't exist. This is why I "created" these pages. They were talk pages for actual long-standing articles. I blanked them, as I felt that it was less than prudent to have a page that says simply, "page created". I did (or at least I think I did) leave an edit summary each time, explaining the reason why I created, and then blanked. After noticing that you deleted them, I figured it was just a misunderstanding, and so I created, and then blanked them again. I've now gotten to thinking that maybe I shouldn't have done that, and that you deleted them because I didn't know what the hell I was doing in the first place. So again, I apologize if I've caused you any trouble. I acted with the best of intentions. Please let me know if I should have gone about it in a different manner. Thank you! 2tuntony ( talk) 00:34, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I saw you deleted the page Category talk:UConn Huskies under speedy deletion criteria WP:CSD#G8, as it is a talk page of a page that does not exist. However, I believe this page should be restored. Originally there was discussion at several different places over the correct name for the categories for University of Connecticut athletic teams, that eventually coalesced into an RfC. Consensus at the RfC was to rename Category:UConn Huskies as Category:Connecticut Huskies, which was then done through a subsequent CfD. The RfC was originally located at Category talk:UConn Huskies, which after the CfD was moved to Category talk:Connecticut Huskies. However, the deletion of the original Category talk page caused the links to the RfC in the original scattered discussions to go red. In order to make it easier for anyone who later finds one of the archived discussions to find the RfC, I recreated the original talk page as a redirect. I believe this page should be an exception to the G8 criteria as it is, to quote the criteria itself, "useful to the project". I probably should have tagged the page with {{ G8-exempt}} except I just learned of the existence of this template. Please restore the redirect or let me know why you think it should stay deleted. Thanks for your attention. – Grondemar 15:58, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
An editor who's article you deleted (upon my speedy deletion request) asked me for a full explanation as to why I nominated his article for deletion.

Hi,
Can you tell me what happened to Blood Money (documentary)? I see it was deleted under "G7: One author who has requested deletion or blanked the page". But looking at the editors contributions I can't see any such request or blanking.
I am only interested because I gave some feedback at Wikipedia:Requests for feedback/2010 August 19#User:Morgankevinj/Blood_Money_(documentary). I followed this up on the article talk page when the article was moved to main space, but I can't see those comments now because the talk page has been deleted.
My first thought when I saw that the page has been deleted for G7 was that User:Morgankevinj didn't like my feedback or couldn't be bothered to respond to it. But after looking at his edits I am now not so sure.

You deleted the term rational mysticism, a concept which I and a number of scientifically oriented individuals consider an important concept. There was certainly research included in the article. Do you find the term somehow offensive or is it some other personal opinion which you are expressing. I check my watch list frequently and this term was on my watch list. I find no notification that the term was to be deleted. How did you manage to circumvent the notification? I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the deletion and dispute this deletion. Richard Dates —Preceding comment was added at 21:30, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Don't know what this prod stuff is. All I know is that this term doesn't come from my original research. It discussed widely on the web. It was used as a core concept in a sermon by the former head of the Unitarian-Universalist Association, John Buehrens. It seems to be a key concept for a lot of significant people more important than me or most wikepedia editors. Sorry, I'm not an expert on Wikipedia technicalities like 'prod'.

Even if you disagree, please restore the content and immediately convert the article into a redirect to Motive, in order to restore the history and let other users work on the content starting from the previous version. I am asking this because the article was deleted due to a PROD, and not a speedy or AfD, and therefore it does not require community concensus to restore its contents. Thanks, Ynhockey ( Talk) 16:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Howdy, thanks for deleting [Category:WikiProject Washington articles] (which I think was not only empty but misnamed). The same user created a whole slew of empty categories, but I'm not as sure about deleting these. I wanted to ask the user, but I wasn't sure how to phrase it. Basically, I'm not sure how clear it is that they need to be deleted. Should I nominate them all and warn him, should I just ask him out of curiosity, or should I warn him that they might be nominated for speedy?

I'm curious why you deleted Template:AbortionbyCountry. Well I know why you deleted it: because someone had listed it as WP:CSD#R3. However, I do not believe this template was simply an implausible typo (R3 only applies for recently created redirects). This was the title of Template:Abortion by country (sidebar) for over a year. Sardanaphalus, without any prior discussion, decided to rename the template, use automated editing to change the old links, and then requested the template be deleted in under an hours time. Redirects are cheap and I wanted to get your perspective on deleting this redirect given this information.

You recently deleted the J.W. Childs Associates page due to "copyright infringement". I believe if there was any material that was objectionable it mas minimal. I would ask that you point out specifically where the objection was as the text for that article was generally original, with certain sections referencing articles and various different sources. As this cites certain facts around areas of investment there will be certain words that are the same but this can be removed or corrected if necessary rather than deleting the entire article.
This article was created as part of the Private Equity Task Force. If there is inadvertant material included I will work to correct any issues but a speedy delete seems unwarranted here. |► ϋ r b a n я e n e w a l ◄| ( talk) 04:50, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello Athaenara,
As you are the Admin who deleted the copyright violating article FNSS Armored infantry fighting vehicle I ask you for advise. The deleted article was not only a copyvio, it was also redundant, as the already existing ACV-300 is about the exact same vehicle. The user who "created" the deleted article, User:Oguzhantr, has edited ACV-300 so that it is identical to the deleted one (and therefore contains versions that are copyvios). Even though I reverted that once, he changed it back already. My question is basically, what to do now? Can those copyvio-versions be deleted without deleting the whole article? Is it vandalism when he'll continue to revert my edits? The user seems, to put it mildly, "unaware" of copyright restrictions that exist here on Wikipedia, if you take a look at his talk page, and ignored the numerous warnings that he has received from numerous users throughout the time he's been working here. How can I now prevent him from doing more such stuff? -- DavidDCM ( talk) 21:41, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

After deleting the image as per WP:CSD#I9, I checked the blocked user's image contribs for other images which have not been deleted. It seems likely that some or all of them may be similarly eligible for deletion.
I recommend that along with looking at the images uploaded by Martinez07, you should also probably look at those uploaded by the other sockpuppets of PoliticianTexas. I haven't seen an image yet that hasn't turned out to be found online with a copyright attached—but looking for all those images one-by-one somewhere on the Web is time-consuming, and I'd be willing to bet they're all in some state of copyvio.

Hi - I originally put all the tags and then only later the csd when i realised that the links at the base of the article had nothing to do with the group. We often have fly by edits of articles that come in english (usually very poor) or even Indonesian into the Indonesian project - and never hear from the editors again - it can be very frustrating at times as either their english is so poor that they do not understand either the notices or what is happening. Apologies for having muddied things by the tags and then the csd - probably should have left it with just one or the other - there are easily 100 articles in the indonesian project with similar issues - slowly trying to resolve them Satu Suro 01:08, 12 March 2009 (UTC) Just saw your delete - oh well another issue solved - but there are always more in the wings :( Satu Suro 01:10, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I believe that my article - Astro & Glyde - was deleted under false pretenses. While it may have originally been slightly biased, I subsequently altered the article to make it objective. After this was done, no justification was provided as to what was wrong with my article or why it was deleted. It no longer met the previous criterion, yet it was deleted under a criterion that only applied to the original edition. I believe that the deletion was far too hasty, aggressive and assumptive in nature. Can you please either give me some indication of what was wrong with the article, or reinstate it? Thanks.

Hello! I see you've deleted User talk:142.167.207.95, however, I wonder why? Your rationale was WP:G7 (One author who has requested deletion or blanked the page), but if the user simply blanked the page, there is no reason to delete. Any block notices, warnings, or similar content is useful and will disable future users; if the user requested deletion (unless they were the only author), WP:G7 wouldn't apply: G7 specifically states "Note that this does not apply to user talk pages, which are not deleted except under very exceptional circumstances: see WP:DELTALK." So, unless there were privacy concerns, harassment, threats, gross offensiveness, or other serious violations, it wouldn't apply. Users frequently blank their page to "hide" warnings and nasty stuff, not realizing we could have looked in the page history (had you not deleted it). — mono 01:23, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Just a note, you should really avoid speedy deleting any page that another admin has previously declined to delete this way (I don't say this though because I was the one who declined it). It may lead to wheel-warring and possibly encourage some users to try and game the system by tagging an article again and again until some admin decides to delete it - risks one should try to avoid. Regards So Why 06:05, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for deleting various of my user subpages and ex-subpages. I really appreciate it. I'd love it if you did me a favor. I want the following pages deleted, but for some reason, the "deletion template" doesn't work on them. (I'm guessing its because they're java)

User:Burpelson AFB recently placed a WP:CSD#G7 on Tha Truth/ Tha NonConformist Movement.
I am afraid this G7 was an instance of a hasty, careless nomination. Burpelson was not the sole author of Tha Truth/ Tha NonConformist Movement -- they left a heads-up on User talk:Ppleen, the contributor who did create the article. Their heads-up says they placed a {{ prod}} on the article, not an G7.
No offense, but isn't the speedy deletion process supposed to require two sets of eyes to look at the article? Shouldn't the deleting administrator check the article's history, when they encounter a G7, to guard against careless nominators who claim to be the sole author -- when they aren't?
I see User:Ppleen has several admonishments since Burpelson's heads-up. Unfortunately, hasty and uncivil new page patrollers turn good faith newbies into vandals.
May I make a suggestion? Why not regard the G7 Burpelson did apply to have been the {{ prod}} they said they were going to apply, and restore the article, and let the {{ prod}} run its full seven days? Geo Swan ( talk) 03:00, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

I would like to apologize if I did anything wrong, as far as the talk pages that I "created". I still have a lot to learn here, and I'm not quite sure what I'm doing. I came across several articles ( Yoso, and Trysting Tree, for example), that were, for lack of a kinder word, just terrible articles. I realized that if I cleaned up these articles, I would have to remove just about everything written. As there were no real BLP violations, I figured the safest thing for me to do would be to simply place "original research" tags on them. Of course, the OR tag suggests using the talk page, as a means of attempting to make improvements. Several articles, these two among them, had a red-link talk page. I figured (perhaps not too brightly) that it would be inappropriate to suggest discussion on a page that doesn't exist. This is why I "created" these pages. They were talk pages for actual long-standing articles. I blanked them, as I felt that it was less than prudent to have a page that says simply, "page created". I did (or at least I think I did) leave an edit summary each time, explaining the reason why I created, and then blanked. After noticing that you deleted them, I figured it was just a misunderstanding, and so I created, and then blanked them again. I've now gotten to thinking that maybe I shouldn't have done that, and that you deleted them because I didn't know what the hell I was doing in the first place. So again, I apologize if I've caused you any trouble. I acted with the best of intentions. Please let me know if I should have gone about it in a different manner. Thank you! 2tuntony ( talk) 00:34, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I saw you deleted the page Category talk:UConn Huskies under speedy deletion criteria WP:CSD#G8, as it is a talk page of a page that does not exist. However, I believe this page should be restored. Originally there was discussion at several different places over the correct name for the categories for University of Connecticut athletic teams, that eventually coalesced into an RfC. Consensus at the RfC was to rename Category:UConn Huskies as Category:Connecticut Huskies, which was then done through a subsequent CfD. The RfC was originally located at Category talk:UConn Huskies, which after the CfD was moved to Category talk:Connecticut Huskies. However, the deletion of the original Category talk page caused the links to the RfC in the original scattered discussions to go red. In order to make it easier for anyone who later finds one of the archived discussions to find the RfC, I recreated the original talk page as a redirect. I believe this page should be an exception to the G8 criteria as it is, to quote the criteria itself, "useful to the project". I probably should have tagged the page with {{ G8-exempt}} except I just learned of the existence of this template. Please restore the redirect or let me know why you think it should stay deleted. Thanks for your attention. – Grondemar 15:58, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
An editor who's article you deleted (upon my speedy deletion request) asked me for a full explanation as to why I nominated his article for deletion. I gave him my non-administrator side of it, but pointed him in your direction if he has any further questions (basically explaining to him that while normal users can request speedy deletion, administrators pretty much have the final say). Just a heads up to let you know he might be headed your way. You can view my response to him at his talk page that I linked earlier.

Hi,
Can you tell me what happened to Blood Money (documentary)? I see it was deleted under "G7: One author who has requested deletion or blanked the page". But looking at the editors contributions I can't see any such request or blanking.
I am only interested because I gave some feedback at Wikipedia:Requests for feedback/2010 August 19#User:Morgankevinj/Blood_Money_(documentary). I followed this up on the article talk page when the article was moved to main space, but I can't see those comments now because the talk page has been deleted.
My first thought when I saw that the page has been deleted for G7 was that User:Morgankevinj didn't like my feedback or couldn't be bothered to respond to it. But after looking at his edits I am now not so sure.

Howdy. You recently deleted File:2007roadruleslogo.jpg. Now that the file is deleted, I have a question. The edit previous to mine on that image marked it as speedy due to sensitive metadata. I checked the image with this tool and this tool and neither of them showed anything sensitive. Are you aware of any sensitive metadata on that image? I'm not asking what that information might have been, only if it was actually there.
