I'm not clear on why Belgrave's article qualified for speedy deletion. The band got it's start with a nationally recognized musician Sam Roberts, is being produced by an award winning producer Joseph Donovan, is a family member of one of the most famous indie musicians in Montreal Pietro Amato, and has been interviewed and reviewed by third party media sources locally and nationally (Meet you at the Show, Ottawa Sun, CBC Radio 2). Thanks for your time, User:trapper 23:57, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
Of course, the "multiple non-trivial published works" don't have to be from different cities, but they do have to be from different sources. So far you've got the Ottawa Sun, and you're asserting the existence of an interview on CBC. That should do it if you can find a transcript of the CBC interview. (Simply showing something that attests that the interview did take place should be enough.) As for being condescending, that wasn't my intention, however you have to keep in mind that most readers look down on trivia, and that's why we seek to keep it away from Wikipedia articles as much as possible. -- Blanchardb - Me• MyEars• MyMouth- timed 14:38, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm not trying to get you to overturn your speedy rejection here, as once a speedy is contested, regular deletion process is necessary, but I do want to explain myself better about why it was nominated. The article was created by a user with the same name.

Please don't tag articles for speedy deletion within 1 minute of their creation, except maybe in cases of copy-vios or attack pages, like you did with Cemetery Rapist. For all we know, the editor who made the article intended to add more information to the article, but, after seeing it was going to immediately be deleted, gave up, disheartened. WP:NPP says recommends no less than 15 minutes after the last edit; personally, I never tag anything as A7 less than a few hours after the last edit. Speedy deletion is already fast enough; no harm comes in leaving a non-notable article up on Wikipedia for a few hours, and the damage done to new contributors through over-hasty deletion tagging is very real.

Ellesmelle ( talk) 07:28, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
The editor exudes cynicism and prejudice over the possibility of businesses addressing social and ecological problems. The editor should, instead, speak on the article's discussion page and comment that there is only positive information on the page. Sometimes there is only positive information because nothing is actually wrong/ negative about a subject. Just because there are companies out there which exploit green marketing does not mean that all companies addressing ecological problems are not conscientious/ representing themselves in a false manner. Zealous fault-finding is actually a display of bias.
Wikipedia has plenty of spam and viral advertising which are not marked/ reviewed with the vigour that contributors without apparent social clout on the site receive. It is defamation.

Daisyrabbit ( talk) 02:41, 20 December 2010 (UTC) Hello,
You have apparently deleted my article on Damian Rogers, a Toronto poet. I have cited additional supporting sources thereby removing what I think were the impediments to its inclusion on Wikipedia. Will you please re-instate the article?
Thanks, daisyrabbit Daisyrabbit ( talk) 02:41, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Daisyrabbit ( talk) 03:34, 22 December 2010 (UTC) Hello and thanks for responding. I don't see that my post was any more promotional than informational. Damian Rogers is a valid talent. The original complaint was that there were not enough sources cited for her work.

Hey there, just to let you know that this article failed WP:A7 as the list of authors asserts significance, rather than notability. I suggest taking the article to AfD or even better, trying to find some sources to establish notability. Panyd The muffin is not subtle 11:46, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
I reinstated the db-copyvio tag at Columbia River Correctional Institution. The article is an unambiguous, word-for-word copyvio of the DOC website.

This isn't a challenge or a threat, just curiosity. I had my hat handed to me back in October for too easily tagging articles for speedy deletion and I thought that I had since come to a better understanding of that subject until I came onto this nomination removal. Would you consider telling me what you found to be an assertion of importance or significance in that article at that time? Best regards, TRANSPORTERMAN ( TALK) 22:17, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Blanchardb. Because you participated in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of YouTube celebrities (4th nomination), your input is sought at Talk:List of YouTube personalities#RfC: The criteria for inclusion on List of YouTube personalities.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Theresa M. Kelly 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/Theresa M. Kelly 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. Shannon Rose Talk 17:17, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey, you put an insufficent CSD on Macrimedia. The page is written in Italian, so I believe although it may appear to be whatever CSD you put it under, it should be put under CSD A2 and then Admins here or on Italian Wikipedia should figure it out. -- Sushiflinger (Goldblattster) ( talk!) 16:14, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm not trying to get you to overturn your speedy rejection here, as once a speedy is contested, regular deletion process is necessary, but I do want to explain myself better about why it was nominated. The article was created by a user with the same name. Moreover, the language included was formatted as a poem or song lyrics, implying nonsense or at least clearly non-article material regardless of language. I think the speedy nom was legitimate. i kan reed ( talk) 18:34, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Hello. My students are developing an article on shear thickening fluids.

BLP prod is not appropriate here as the article is about an individual who is dead. I have therefore removed the tag. If you still wish the article to be deleted, add a regular prod or take it to AFD. Thanks. -- Anthem of joy ( talk) 10:22, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the hints. But what is the difference in language to other companies in Wikipedia? Take e.g. Atlas Elektronik. Your explanation would be highly appreciated.

Please don't tag articles for speedy deletion within 1 minute of their creation, except maybe in cases of copy-vios or attack pages, like you did with Cemetery Rapist. For all we know, the editor who made the article intended to add more information to the article, but, after seeing it was going to immediately be deleted, gave up, disheartened. WP:NPP says recommends no less than 15 minutes after the last edit; personally, I never tag anything as A7 less than a few hours after the last edit. Speedy deletion is already fast enough; no harm comes in leaving a non-notable article up on Wikipedia for a few hours, and the damage done to new contributors through over-hasty deletion tagging is very real.

l am not affiliated with this company nor am l paid in any way. The information is factual. Iceland does, in fact, have specific advantages over other countries in hosting. l created this page based on research conducted on the internet about this company and Iceland's hosting services in general. In light of the actual advantages that Iceland has with web hosting, l'd like to know what kind of information or what tone of voice would make this article not "sound like an advertisement".
Ellesmelle ( talk) 07:28, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
The editor exudes cynicism and prejudice over the possibility of businesses addressing social and ecological problems. The editor should, instead, speak on the article's discussion page and comment that there is only positive information on the page. Sometimes there is only positive information because nothing is actually wrong/ negative about a subject. Just because there are companies out there which exploit green marketing does not mean that all companies addressing ecological problems are not conscientious/ representing themselves in a false manner. Zealous fault-finding is actually a display of bias.
Wikipedia has plenty of spam and viral advertising which are not marked/ reviewed with the vigour that contributors without apparent social clout on the site receive. It is defamation.

When seeing a mass nomination of 20 or 40 or 60 articles, I cringe. So a nomination of just 12 articles was not too much a problem to research, and was addressable.

Hi. I'm just letting you know that I have declined the CSD on Nickie Lum Shapira which was also previously CSD tagged by another editor. G12: After checking the dup detector, there really is not much that is copied, and what is could be edited out. G11: Yes , it's very spammy, use of first name throughout, has no personal background, and reads like a potted CV. However, it does make some substantial claims to notability. I've BLPPRODed the article, tagged it for issues, and placed an explanation on its talk page. You might wish to use the dup detector to edit the minor copyvios out, but that's entirely up to you, I value your experience in these matters. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 12:16, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
